Once Apatow has a three-hour-plus version of the movie, he shows it to every funny person in L.A. and asks for notes. "Judd is like a feedback machine," says Feig. "He wants feedback of the person he doesn't even like or trust. And he's got the brain trust of comedy at the moment, old and new." The next stop is test audiences - 10 for Funny People. "We had a debate over how much is too much for a comedian to talk about his penis and testicles," Apatow says. "The answer there is, No amount...

Americans were split evenly, 46% to 46%, when asked if they approved or disapproved of Obama's handling of health care. By contrast, 58% of the same respondents said they approved...
...wing of the FLDS, according to Rod Parker, a Salt Lake City attorney and frequent spokesman for the Texas-based organization. He says his clients are "hemorrhaging a huge amount of money" fighting the morass of legal cases, including a long-running battle over an estimated $110 million property trust in Utah. The trust, which is named the United Effort Plan Trust, was set up by the polygamous sect's leadership in 1942 but was placed under court oversight in 2005, when allegations of mismanagement surfaced in several lawsuits brought by former FLDS members. A judge Wednesday rejected the latest...
