Over the last few years writer/director/producer Judd Apatow has had the Midas Touch in the film industry, responsible for hits including Superbad, 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
His latest film, Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco, hits theaters on Wednesday August 6th, is a surefire stoner classic.
Apatow and crew have been banging out successful movies at a rate of two per year. So how did he come up with the idea for Pineapple Express?
“I was watching “True Romance” back in the late 90’s on laserdisk, and I thought, Brad Pitt is so funny as this pothead character but there’s only one scene. I kind of wish there was a whole movie about that guy. And then I started thinking they never have stoner movies with great Jerry Bruckheimer level action–wouldn’t it be funny if you were chasing guys who were so high that it makes it hard for them to get away? So we spent a few months, had a meeting every once in a while, kickin’ around that like and then before you knew it, we have “Pineapple Express.”
In what would seem a moment of incredible shared stupidity, 17 girls at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts made a secret pact to get pregnant, and did. With teachers and administrators confused by the increase in knocked-up students–four times last year’s amount–the girls were doing whoever they could to get a bun in the oven. One of the girls even boned a homeless dude. (more…)
Yesterday, Katherine Heigl announced that she has removed her name from this years Emmy Award ballot, saying it wasn’t deserved. The Knocked Up leading lady is also set to star in upcoming film The Ugly Truth. Fortunately for you, there’s nothing ugly about Heigl’s exclusive Miss COED Photoshoot.

Britney Spears rumors have been flying this week like whoa!
If you are gullible enough to believe every single rumor you hear (like us!) then apparently Britney Spears is adopting Chinese twins and has a secret room in her mansion dedicated to kinky S&M romps.
All of that may seem a little far fetched (well, maybe not the S&M part), but the latest rumor about the popwreck sounds semi-believable.
Multiple news sources are reporting that Britney Spears has been knocked-up for the third time. In an email to friends Spears said she’s four months pregnant, and the father of the child is…wait for it…music producer/eternal Guido J.R. Rotem.
Who? When? Why? So many questions…
I really hate giving Britney any more publicity than she already has, but she runs half the globe’s rumor-mill all by herself, without any assistance. Her life (like Amy Winehouse’s drug-addled life) is spinning so out of control that it’s a wonder she’s alive.
If Britney Spears is pregnant, should she keep the baby?
Two decades of hard work have paid off for Katherine Heigl, who’s now a double-threat with a TV smash (Grey’s Anatomy) and a huge release (Knocked Up).
Featherbeds, futons, laundry bags, white boards – you don’t need any of them.
They don’t matter; they’re inconsequential in you enjoying time away from your ‘rents house and avoiding embarrassing, CollegeHumor-worthy moments. A spiffy laundry bag from your mom isn’t going to help you through college, let alone getting laid…but these following necessities may.
Your sisters/cousins/friends t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc.
While it’s oh-so-cute to have a girl you bagged the night before decked out in your XL Boston Bruins jersey, know that her outlook may slightly differ than yours. The “Walk of Shame” for her could be either walking home in last night’s outfit or floating around campus in your oversized, off-putting wears – maybe even both. Fix that quick.
It’s not a bad idea to keep a universally-accepted (read: one color, no logo) t-shirt or sweatshirt handy; just say it’s your sisters or cousins or roommates’ sisters’ shirt – whatever makes sense. Of course, only bust out the default “morning after” outfit if she’s worthy. If she’s not worthy (read: she didn’t even give you a HJ) let her walk the plank all by her lonesome. (more…)
I am completely baffled whenever I hear anybody say they find Dane Cook funny. Every time. Without fail. Am I being too critical or are the standards for comedy lower than ever?
What has Cook ever done that’s even remotely funny? He’s a third-rate Adam Sandler man-boy out to please vapid sorority chicks and pre-teen boys who haven’t learned how to use their cocks yet – and I guess that’s funny in itself (at his expense).
Tall-glass of Haterade aside, everybody deserves a second chance, and that’s what Good Luck Chuck is out to prove. Unfortunately for Cook, it fails miserably in every possible way. (more…)
Just when you thought Knocked Up was the last word on unplanned pregnancy in a comedy, Juno rolls through with a slight modification: teenage pregnancy, a parents’ least-favorite subject.
Starring Arrested Development alumni Jason Bateman and Michael Cera – alas, neither actor appears onscreen together – Juno tells the story of Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page), a teenager knocked-up by her schoolmate Paulie Bleeker (Cera, at his awkward best).
After getting the word that she’s preggers, Juno looks to put her child up for adoption via the local newspaper classifieds – enter the baby-wanting couple of Vanessa and Mark Loring (Jennifer Garner and Bateman, respectively).
It looks like a winner, according to early reviews from the Toronto Film Festival.
Juno will be open for limited release on December 14.
