Cheech & Chong: Still Smokin’ After All These Years
Step aside, Seth Rogen and James Franco: The original stoner duo, Cheech & Chong, squashed their long-running feud to reunite for the Light Up America/Canada Tour — their first in 25 years. The tour kicked off last Friday in Ottawa and runs through late December, with one more gig in New York at Radio City Music Hall at the end of January. Rolling Stone got the pair on the phone for a conversation and found out whether they still smoke, what they think of Pineapple Express and how John McCain rea

Seth Rogen Admits He Loves Porn - “I Watch Tons”
Seth Rogen is basically a class-A role model for up and coming filmmakers. Smoke a lot of weed and watch porn then you will become a successful Hollywood actor/director and writer. Anyhoo, Rogen admits that when he initially came to Hollywood that all he wanted was to work with Kevin Smith. His wish was granted. Rogen stars with Elizabeth Banks in Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” a romantic comedy with a whole lot of skin showing. The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a

Banned Poster of ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’
The MPAA, film’s rating organization, recently banned the following poster for Kevin Smith’s upcoming movie, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, from the US. Their reason? The suggestively placed backs of heads. This is weird, considering a similar poster from another film had no problem getting past the censors - Sure, Dane Cook is 100 times hotter than [...]

Frat Humor Will Kill Superhero Movies In Years To Come [Superhero Hell Movie]
While Will Smith's Hancock may have failed to kill the superhero trend in movies this summer, we think we've identified the actor who stands the most chance of being the unwelcome nail in this genre coffin - Seth Rogen. It's not enough for him to be writing and starring in the upcoming Green Hornet movie. Now he's being prepped to appear in a future Kevin Smith scifi superhero movie. When will the madness end?According to Smith, his superhero project is still two movies away, following the Rogen-starring Za

10 Things You Don’t Know About Seth Rogen
He’s geeky-chic, and he’s bringing college humor back. You probably already know that Seth Rogen, star of 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, is a high-school dropout, and you most certainly know he as a taste for the sticky-icky. But what else do you know about this 26-year-old Canadian? Probably not much. Digital Spy does some digging [...]

Movie Review: Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I have a theory that Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is actually just a chronology of Smith’s career so far as a filmmaker. The film starts off much like Clerks, with Seth Rogen trying to wake up for his dreadful job. Minutes later he is walking through the local mall with his roommate and best friend Miri, played by Elizabeth Banks, in a scene that is reminiscent of Mallrats. The high school reunion sequence that follows feels oh so Chasing Amy. And when Zack and Miri must band togethe

'Zack and Miri' get a new poster
After the utterly ridiculous decision by the MPAA to ban the first poster for Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," the film's design team came up with an awesome new one-sheet. It may not be as provocative as the poster you will now only see in Canada (and probably in every other country not suffering from the MPAA's decisions), but it sure is a great way to make the best out of the situation. Check it out below and enjoy the film in theaters Oct. 31, 2008.

Seth Rogen may have become one of Hollywood's most bankable actors, but the last thing he sees when he looks in the mirror is a movie star. "And please don't insult my intelligence by arguing that fact," snorts the 26-year-old Canadian comic. "I certainly don't feel like a movie star – not in this body anyway," he continues, letting out a machine-gun volley of laughter. "I think when you do comedy, you play by a different set of rules. No one really wants you to be in that good shape. Being in good sh

Seth Rogan says he watched a lot of pr0n to prepare for role
It takes a brave man to admit to watching tons of porn these days. Wait, no. It takes an average, normal man to admit to watching tons of porn these days. And that’s pretty much the reputation upon which Seth Rogen has built his career: the average guy who’s funnier than most. Rogen is starring in Kevin Smith’s upcoming film “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” It’s about two best friends who decide to make a porn film in order to pay down their debts. Rogen says he was into the film from the

The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a decade ago with a prospective agent who asked what his career goals were.

Yesterday, the U.S. ratings board confirmed that it has banned the poster for the new Kevin Smith film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, which has its world premiere Sunday at the Festival. The poster depicts the two stars - a surprised-looking Seth Rogen and a smiling Elizabeth Banks, both fully clothed - in split images, staring straight ahead. At the bottom o

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The last time Clark Duke and Chris Mintz-Plasse - better known as McLovin -- were on screen together, Clark called him a badass. Now, they're both going to "Kick-Ass."
