...Seth Rogen were the hero's two closest buddies (and tormentors). But it was Rogen who got the lead role in Knocked Up, with Rudd in a supporting role as his best friend. In Knocked Up the Rogen character had a couple of stoner pals, played by Jonah Hill and Jason Segel. Quickly, Apatow godfathered their star movies: Hill in Superbad, Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Hill's best friend was played by Michael Cera, who will star in this summer's Apatow-produced The Year One. And next year, English comic Russell Brand, who drifted through Sarah Marshall, moves...

...unilateral Executive Branch action, while mandated by a Supreme Court decision in April 2007 that said the EPA must decide how to regulate greenhouse gases, upsets many members on Capitol Hill. The EPA "said they have the ability to do this under the law. The law doesn't come from the Supreme Court; the law comes from Congress," Nelson said. "If they want to go, 'Giddyap,' we're in the position to go, 'Whoa,' and pass legislation if necessary. If the administrator wants to ignore the intent of Congress, the administrator takes a sizable risk...
