We all remember the classic scene from "Knocked Up" where Katherine Heigl's celebrity reporter informs her boyfriend/baby daddy Seth Rogen that she's about to go interview the hunky star of "Lost" Matthew Fox, and his deadpan response.
"You know what's interesting about him?" Rogen's character asks. "Nothing!"
It's one of many funny moments in the high-grossing flick, and everybody remembers it as some good-natured ribbing, right? Well, maybe not everyone. Read more...
Look out, Paul Rudd: You've just been "Wainyized!" Almost a year after the "Knocked Up" star enthusiastically spoke to MTV News about an upcoming project called "Little Big Men," his "Wet Hot American Summer" director revealed that he's taken over the project, "and basically rewrote it from scratch."
"I came in fairly late in the game. This was a movie that was in motion and needed a director," Wain said. "We cast a huge part of our familiar troupe in a lot of the roles. It's the concept of the movie I was handed but at the same time is infused with my comic sensibility." Read more...
In case you haven't been able to tell from the omnipresent marketing campaign there's a biopic out now as much in the vein of "Knocked Up" as "Coal Miner's Daughter." The movie of course is "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and it should be no surprise that it sprang in part from the mind behind "Knocked Up," the great Judd Apatow.
Judd's written for us a bunch before and he's back now with a cool little column all about the making of "Walk Hard" and formative concert experiences that shaped him.
Here's Judd on his first concert, "the Doobie Brothers. I was in eighth grade. I could not have loved it more. The Minute by Minute tour hit the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, New York. I had such a good time that I went to see another concert just a few months later. It was the Doobie Brothers returning to the Nassau Coliseum."
Don't forget to check out the rest of Judd Apatow's "Walk Hard" column here.
It's Tuesday and you know what that means...yup, it's DVD release time! This week, we're showcasing "Knocked Up," Judd Apatow's hilarious comedy about unplanned pregnancy. Check out an exclusive gag reel from the bonus features below, and when you're through with that, scope out more clips from the "Knocked Up" DVD here.
The character is 71-years-old, has been enjoyed by generations of fans, and helped launch a Bruce Lee phenomenon that would forever change Hollywood. Not to be overshadowed, Seth Rogen believes his controversial appointment as writer/star of the upcoming "Green Hornet" movie has already made its own unique impact on pop culture.
"Yeah, that pissed off the nerds huh?," he grinned recently, punctuating the point with his staccato laugh. "It's my only goal, to piss off nerds."
But then, getting as serious as the "Knocked Up" funnyman ever gets about anything, Rogen said he and writing partner Evan Goldberg begin writing the script this week. "We're really going to sit down and get into it," he insisted. "We made 'Pineapple Express', which is an action-comedy, but the action is the thing that stood out to the people we've shown the movie to so far - and my favorite types of movies are action/adventure movies, so that's what we're trying to do. We really want to make it an awesome action movie." Read more...
Paul Rudd can do no wrong in my book. Sure he's great at the acting thing, knocking it out of the park in films like "Knocked Up" and "The Ten" (opening this Friday). But I'm really talking about interviews where he never fails to prove that he's one of the wittiest guys out there. My recent conversation with Mr. Rudd didn't fail to meet my lofty expectations. You can watch the whole Paul Rudd interview here, and see him explain why he hates condiments and feels like a junkie for playing fantasy baseball.
Then there's the clip below where Paul tells me about the part he wants to play in "Indiana Jones IV." Let the campaigning begin!
"Knocked Up" star Seth Rogen is preparing to take on one of his highest-profile projects yet: the long-anticipated, big-budget adaptation of the classic superhero radio/television show "Green Hornet." We caught up with Rogen and his creative partner Evan Goldberg at Comic-Con, where he regaled us with his thoughts on the upcoming movie. Watch it all in the video below.

Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to be among the first to congratulate "Knocked Up" star Seth Rogen on the film's strong opening weekend. "How are you handling it?" he asked Rogen backstage. Letting loose one of his trademark staccato laughs, Rogen looked at his female companion and replied, "It's easy. We don't go out much!"

There are a lot of sequences in Judd Apatow's upcoming sure-to-be comedy smash "Knocked Up" that still bring a smile to my face (I've seen the flick twice already if that's any indication). One is when new best buds Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd engage in a bit of male bonding in Vegas by taking in Cirque du Soleil under the influence of some truly unsafe hallucinogens. It all gets started in the car ride as the two rock out to the music of Britney Spears.
When I caught up with Apatow and Rogen last week I had to find out what the Britney obsession was all about. Check out the answer in the clip below and for a whole lot more of a very funny interview with Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen you can do a lot worse than going here.
We don't like to deal in rumors and hearsay, but this tidbit straight from the mouth of Judd Apatow himself is too juicy to pass up. While Apatow's next movie "Knocked Up" stars longtime friend Seth Rogen, it wasn't meant to be that way. In fact, on the list of candidates to play the male lead of "Ben Stone," Rogen ended up near the bottom.
"Seth was the tenth actor to attempt to play the part, and nine other actors were fired," Apatow revealed to MTV. "We would ask an actor to come out and shoot [a] scene, and I would come out and fire them or they quit."
That revelation was an especially uncomfortable moment, particularly since Apatow was sitting next to Rogen at the time. So thank goodness he was kidding. The notion that rogen was the tenth choice to play the role is the concept for a fake documentary that Apatow will include on the "Knocked Up" DVD as a bonus feature. "[It's] called 'Finding Ben Stone' and it's a search for who will play this character," said the director who's quickly becoming a comedy legend. "You see all of the other actors who I fired before I found Ben. So we have James Franco, and David Krumholtz, and Gerry Bednob who is Mooj from the '40 Year Old Virgin.' At one point I thought I could be the lead, and Justin Long is in it. It's very funny, and it makes me look like an ass."
Is Apatow turning into Christopher Guest? "Finding Ben Stone" isn't the only fake documentary Apatow is planning for the DVD, he divulged. "There's another fake documentary about the fact that I'm fighting with the studio so much, that they send ["Capote" director] Bennett Miller to oversee the shoots," Apatow chuckled. "He's trying to take control of the movie and it ends up in a big fist fight between me and Bennett. [Very] funny."
"Knocked Up," starring Seth rogen, Katherine Heigl and Paul Rudd, arrives in theaters on June 1st.
