I thought I'd send him on dates with my friends," she says during a Funny People recording session on their 15th wedding anniversary, which she and Apatow later celebrated by seeing The Hangover.

And while its history is rich - most agree at least 2,000 years old - many Uighurs in Kashgar see their culture and heritage as under attack by the Chinese government. In the latest move, authorities have started to demolish Kashgar's old town - an atmospheric, mud-brick maze...
