...full cycle - and this is a very realistic love story, in that everything doesn't end with wedding bells. For me, one of the biggest parts of a love story are the sad parts. The beginning is great, but I always think of the amazing, gut-wrenching songs that express all the pain you're feeling but can't put into words...
...cost at the U.S. box office. This enabled Apatow to produce all the scripts he'd been studiously stockpiling, making seven movies in 2007 and '08 - Knocked Up (which he also directed), Superbad, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Drillbit Taylor, Step Brothers and Pineapple Express - and inspiring a slew of imitators.

But as Silverman learned the hard way at NBC, in entertainment, nothing is as easy as it looks...
...Israel, settlers from suburban towns to hilltop outposts alike express contempt for Obama. The U.S. gave $2.4 billion in aid to Israel last year, but Israel Katz says the cash does not entitle a U.S. President to "tell us how to live." He adds, "He is butting into another country's interests. I don't think Israel tells Obama what...
