Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl was once a rising star in movies and television in the late 2000s. However, her career saw a declining graph after she went on to publicly bash her movie with director Judd Apatow. In 2007, Heigl starred opposite Seth Rogen in Apatow’s comedy film Knocked Up. She had brutal criticism for the film in a 2008 interview, where she called the film sexist.

The film also starred Marvel star Paul Rudd and Apatow’s real-life spouse Leslie Mann. The director responded to the comments sharing that he expected an apology from the actress. Interestingly, Apatow earned flak from Tom Cruise’s fans for brutally trolling him while hosting DGA 2023.

Netflix may have a huge list of everyday exciting releases, but the nostalgia for the 2000s still lives on — and the streaming’s recent top chart results are another proof of it.
This time it’s Seth Rogan’s iconic romantic comedy that, unlike many more movies alike, was actually a stunning success in every respect — and after almost 20 years since its release the film is one of Netflix’s most watched movies.
Knocked Up, a 2007 romcom starring Seth Rogan and Katherine Heigl cemented Judd Apatow’s status of a romantic comedy master after he already blew everyone away thanks to an earlier collaboration with Rogan, 2005’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Knocked Up’s plot follows Ben, a binge-loving loafer with no desire for commitment, who ends up having a one-night stand with determined career builder Allison — eventually the latter finds out that she’s pregnant. Having come to a common decision to keep the child,...

Across the sprawling city of Los Angeles — within feet of children’s bedrooms, playgrounds, office buildings, and places of worship — there’s an oil well, exuding toxins that put nearby residents at risk of asthma attacks, reproductive issues, and multiple types of cancer. The evidence stacked against Big Oil is alarming, and after more than 130 years since drilling began in the town of flowers and sunshine, the Los Angeles city council unanimously voted to phase out drilling in January 2021.
In response, oil and gas companies collected enough signatures for a referendum to challenge the legislation.

Maude Apatow is set to direct Poetic Licence, a film about two best friends as they compete for the attention and affection of their teacher.
Maude Apatow is moving behind the camera. The actress has just set up her own production company, Jewelbox Pictures, together with Olivia Rosenbloom.
As reported by Deadline, the production company’s first project is Poetic Licence in which two best friends are competing for the affection of their middle-aged teacher. Raffi Donatich is penning the script. Deadline’s article doesn’t specify whether the film will be a comedy, but that would certainly fit the bill and Apatow would have plenty of experience in the field as the daughter of comedy director Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann.
Apatow told Deadline that the film “encapsulates the pressures of growing up, and how those pressures don’t necessarily ever go away. It’s a coming-of-age story for all ages.

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.

On Oscar night, details matter. Who are you wearing? What are you nominated for? Who won? Just don’t expect everyone to know the answers.
“What movie won?” Rick Hilton asked as he and wife Kathy Hilton assumed position at the end of a glamorous queue to get into Vanity Fair’s 30th anniversary Oscar party in Beverly Hills on Sunday after 10 p.m. They asked their son, Kathy says, but no clue. Fortunately, a gentleman standing directly in front of the couple had the answer. “It was Oppenheimer,” he said, not mentioning the awkwardness of Al Pacino’s best picture reveal. Some details can be saved for Monday morning. Plus, there are more rapid-fire questions to field.
What movie is that? Is it based on a true story? Who was the emcee?
“Oh, Jimmy Kimmel. I like him,” Rick said, smiling, in a totally relatable moment because who doesn’t love Jimmy Kimmel?...

The Gordy subplot in Jordan Peele's "Nope" is distressing for many reasons, not least of which is that history is filled with incidents of real-life film and TV actors nearly meeting their maker at the hands -- or paws -- of a startled non-human costar. We're not as far removed from such real-world incidents as you might assume, either. During her "Hot Ones" episode in 2022, Leslie Mann recalled having to share a "little tiny space" with an actual lion on the "George of the Jungle" set 25 years earlier and realizing that "if he just jumps at me, I'm dead" and nobody could do a damn thing to save her.
30 years before that, it seems Bob Denver had a similar encounter with one of Simba's cousins on "Gilligan's Island." The show's second season episode "Feed the Kitty" saw a shipwrecked lion wash up on the shores of the titular island,...

If you like movies about empty-headed dips and their resentful families, then National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies certainly have you covered. Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, is an exemplar -- perhaps the Ur-example -- of a clueless dad obsessed with fulfilling the typical American suburban dream despite a general lack of wit or competence. Clark claims to be an expert in everything, assuring his family that everything will be fine, and yet he displays no acumen or skill, and his family repeatedly witnesses him fail. We sympathize with Clark, however, as many of his failings are the result of bad luck; Clark isn't very good at traversing the daily onus of trivial nonsense, but the world seems cosmically hellbent on punishing him for his incompetence.

Contrary to what you might think based on the plethora of Christmas films and TV series that flooded the streaming landscape recently, we're only now heading into the final month of 2023 and the winter holiday bonanza that comes with them. For Netflix, in particular, December is a time when it pulls out the big guns, tempting its subscribers with an eclectic blend of prestige television, awards season contenders, and crowd-pleasers. This year, that includes the end of the royal drama with "The Crown" season 6, part 2, Bradley Cooper going for the gold (again) with his Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro," and whatever the hell Zack Snyder has cooked up for us with the first half of his two-part "Star Wars"-inspired cosmic epic, "Rebel Moon -- Part One: A Child of Fire."
However, in lieu of focusing on the releases that are positioned to soak up the bulk of everyone's attention, I...

America Ferrera thinks the future is bright for women filmmakers despite the uphill challenges they face in Hollywood.
Recapturing the magic of her viral monologue in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” film, Ferrera delivered a moving speech as the keynote presenter during the Academy’s annual women’s luncheon presented by Chanel on Thursday that prompted a minutes-long standing ovation. Ferrera’s remarks focused on the importance of fellowship and how the impact of a union of voices can make waves within the industry.
“Community is not something that we can or should take for granted — and I would like us to consider that growing and strengthening this community might be the key to moving this industry,” she told the crowd.

Writers and actors walking the red carpet at the Academy Women’s Luncheon, presented by Chanel, in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning were able to talk about their projects for the first time in months following news that SAG-AFTRA reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios and streamers to end their historic strike just the night before.
“We stood strong and fought the fight for 118 days,” actress and comedian Sherry Cola told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m just thrilled that me and my fellow performers can now celebrate our projects and keep doing the work that we love doing. I’m very grateful to be a part of this industry right now and to keep representing and telling these stories.”

It was revealed last year that Judd Apatow was developing a sequel to This Is 40, the “sort-of” sequel to Knocked Up. This Is 50 would catch up with Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) in the next stage of their lives, and although the project is still in the works, it appears to have been put on the back burner for now.
While speaking with The Playlist, Judd Apatow said he’s got a new project written and ready to go once the SAG-AFTRA strike concludes. “I wrote a film; I’m just waiting for all these strikes to end to see if they’ll allow me to make it,” Apatow said. “So, my life is in Fran Drescher’s hands. As it’s always been.” He wouldn’t spill any details on the new project, only to say that it would not be This Is 50.

“Black Adam” filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra has been hired by Amazon MGM Studios to direct a movie starring Emily Blunt as pioneering female detective Kate Warne.
Melissa Stack wrote the screenplay from a previous draft by Gustin Nash. The untitled film, described as a “propulsive action thriller,” centers around a real-life Sherlock Holmes-esque character. Kate Warne was the first female detective at the Pinkerton agency and, according to a release, paved the way for future women in law enforcement and forever changed how detective work was done.
Blunt, who will also produce the movie, hasn’t finalized her deal because of the actors strike, but conversations are expected to resume once the guild has a new pact.
Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia are producing via their company, Seven Bucks Productions. Kristina Sorensen is producing for With a K Productions. Kimberly Bialek will oversee for Seven Bucks Productions.

The actress-comedian shared on Instagram on Sunday that she had stepped behind the bar at the Boss’ concert the night before to mix some drinks.

“I bartended the Springsteen show last night, and it felt incredible to be of service,” she wrote. “I Love London, but no one is as lovable than Bruce Springsteen. What a ducking show!”

But also, imagine this: If an unhinged, uber manipulative, obsessive, attention deprived stranger, with deep seeded mother abandonment issues, that you mistakenly let into your home and life began stalking you; turned your friends, family and girlfriend against you; had you arrested for crimes you didn’t commit; set up hidden cameras in your apartment; had you fired from your job; talked dirty to your mother; stalked and assaulted your ex’s new boyfriend in a men’s bathroom at a public restaurant and eventually kidnapped your ex with a stapler (exhale) all in the matter of a few days…

Her parents, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, came to congratulate their eldest daughter at the afterparty that followed as the trio smiled for photos.

The couple's younger daughter, Iris, wasn't seen at the event.

The Grainges are showing off their newlywed glow. Just a few days after returning from their honeymoon in the Maldives, Sofia Richie Grainge and husband Elliot Grainge stepped out for the Chanel cruise fashion show in Los Angeles on May 9, marking one of their first public appearances since tying the knot last month. The pair arrived hand in hand to the event at Paramount Studios and posed together in front of an illuminated photo backdrop. Sofia channeled her signature classic style in a bridal-white tweed set lined with pink feathers, while Elliot complemented her look in a relaxed navy suit, an off-white sweater, and sneakers.
Sofia shared plenty of social media footage from the fashion presentation, including Instagram Stories of models showcasing the new California-inspired collection. "Still in Chanel," she captioned a photo carousel of her outfit, referencing the fact that she wore not one but three wedding dresses by the luxury fashion house.

Leslie Mann and Iris Apatow turned the 2024 Chanel cruise show into a mother-daughter date night. On May 9, Mann and Apatow attended the fashion brand's latest resortwear presentation in Los Angeles, wearing Chanel outfits and matching red lipstick for the occasion. Standing side by side on the red carpet, the duo looked almost identical in their coordinated ensembles. Like Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe, Mann and Apatow's lookalike status is worthy of a double take.
As they modeled for the camera, the duo also struck similar poses, highlighting their uncanny resemblance. Even with invisible eyebrows, Apatow was undeniably her mother's doppelgänger. For years, the comparisons have poured in, following the stars across every joint red carpet appearance. Still, time continues to reveal even more striking similarities between the mother-daughter duo, including a shared appreciation for designer fashion, apparently.

Maude Apatow has been accused of getting ahead because of her famous name. But a wall in her “Little Shop of Horrors” theater put a halt to that – at least, the head part.
Apatow, the daughter of Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, revealed on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers” that she suffered a concussion by running headlong into a wall. The incident came when she dashed offstage during the Broadway play.
The 25-year-old actress plays leading lady Audrey in “Little Shop.”
“Well, I’m always really kind of in a panic the entire time, and I was running offstage and I guess my eyes were kind of adjusting to the light, and I just ran full-speed into the wall. And I got a concussion!”
Somehow, Apatow finished the evening’s performance.
“And then yeah, after the show I think the adrenaline wore off and I was like: “I need to go to the hospital.

Toni Collette felt like she was “imploding” while filming The Power, after joining the dystopian series following a last minute recasting.
Based on Naomi Alderman’s hit novel, the Prime Video series imagines a world where women receive electric power in their fingertips when they become teenagers.

Hereditary star Collette plays mayor of Seattle Margot, a role she took over from Leslie Mann at the last minute, leaving her with just five weeks to shoot all nine episodes.
“I felt like I was hanging on the edge of a cliff,” she told Insider while discussing the intense shooting schedule.
“I had so much dialogue and it’s such an epic story. The rest of it had been shot, and it was just all on me, all the time. There was nothing else to shoot, so I felt like I was drowning.”
