JUDD APATOW: I STINK IN BED
Judd Apatow is a whiz at comedy, but a dud in the sack. The "40-Year-Old Virgin" director tells Playboy's July/August issue that after his first time, "I said to the girl, 'Hey, was it good for you, too?' And she said, 'Well, I guess it'll get better eventually.' Sadly, she wasn't right. It wasn't better for her or any of the women who subsequently agreed to sleep with me." Apatow, whose new flick "Funny People," opens July 31, also...
Memo to Judd Apatow: Your movie is too long!
Dear Judd:
As you know, I'm a big admirer of your work, in all its many permutations, going back--way back--to your TV work ("Freaks and Geeks" still hasn't lost a step) and early film efforts (it being NBA playoff time, my kid and I being true-blue Celtic fans have been wearing out "Celtic Pride"). But I just read the worrisome interview on MTV News in which you say that your upcoming Adam Sandler movie "Funny...

In 'Funny People,' Leslie Mann takes a more serious stride
Much has been made of Judd Apatow's uncanny eye for talent, populating his shows and films with such discoveries as Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill.

He said to a friend, "There goes the future Mrs. Apatow."

Apatow Talks Up 'Funny People' Mini Movies Starring Sandler and ...
Slightly reminiscent of Tropic Thunder , Judd Apatow has revealed to MTV that his upcoming film Funny People will feature scenes and marketing materials for a whole bunch of fake films starring Adam Sandler . Only in the film he's not Adam Sandler -- he's George Simmons; a stand-up comedian-turned-mega-successful actor who stars in a whole ton of crappy high concept movies. Not exactly too much of a stretch for Sandler (ahem, Click , Zohan ), which is why it sounds pretty funny....

" We did a table read and I thought to myself, 'I wonder how funny [Sean's] going to be and how much help he's going to need,' " said Apatow . " And I found out the answer was none. He needs no help. He was riotously funny. As a man with one skill, I was annoyed that he was also funny. You shouldn't be...

First TV Spot For Judd Apatow’s Funny People
Judd Apatow ’s new movie Funny People hits theaters on July 31st, and Universal Pictures has begun airing television spots for the film. There is a lot of new footage to be seen, giving us a good taste of the comedy/drama tightrope act Apatow is attempting to walk with this film. I like how they even made a joke about Rogen’s recent weight loss, and it’s also worth noting some of the clever t-shirts worn throughout.

ASSUMING Judd Apatow doesn't change his mind, and he often does, his new movie, "Funny People," will begin with a scene of Adam Sandler as no paying audience has ever seen him. In grainy video a boyishly goofy Mr. Sandler, still in his 20s with a tilted baseball cap on his head, is shown as he lies across a messy bed in a dingy Los Angeles apartment, making prank phone calls to the delight of a few off-screen observers.
