Movie Buzz With the major success of Bridesmaids this summer, it seemed like the whole world was thinking for the first time that maybe females could be funny after all. If you managed to ignore Lucille Ball, Jane Curtin and Tina Fey before them, then the ladies in Judd Apatow's movies have convinced us all that women can bring the laughs, too.

Spoiler alert: I mean, it is kinda the first thing you think of as soon as Captain America's credits roll.
One of the best canceled-too-soon shows is trending on google. If you missed it while it was on TV, find it on YouTube or order the DVDs. This show was the bomb.
The 40-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It captures the Apatowian oeuvre, replete with chest wax, vagina jokes, and chubby Semitics. Of course, we've still got Funny People on the queue, so who's to say, right?
Celebrity Buzz In case you missed the live stream, here are the highlights of Judd Apatow answering questions from Twitter. Gotcha Media
In his latest video, National Lampoon celeb interviewer Matt Zaller tries his best to ruin whatever chance he had of ever working with Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow again. Unsurprisingly, his idea for a film (“Beer and Chicks”) is incomplete and just sounds horrible.
Movie Buzz Part 1 of a new documentary profiling the hottest new comedian from Judd Apatow's Funny People. Very NSFW, both visually and aurally (and orally).
Movie Buzz Let's put it right up front: this is a viral marketing campaign for Judd Apatow's Funny People. But the fake sitcom (that's apparently referenced in the movie) involves Jason Schwartzman being a “hip teacher” and rapping to a laugh track and well…it's pretty funny. Don't look a Jason Schwartzman gift-video in the mouth.
But this time, literally. Not just in the sense that he behaves immaturely.

Judd Apatow's production company is definitely, officially involved in Ghostbusters 3, which is definitely, actually happening. Of course the internet has been saying this forever, but in this case, it looks like the rumors were surprisingly reliable.
This preview of upcoming 2009 movies ran during the closing credits of the Oscars last night. Sherlock Holmes! Public Enemies! Harry Potter! And also, Night at the Museum 2: 2 Fast 2 Museumy. I have been waiting for that one.
Judd Apatow attempts to be serious. With Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Jason Schwartzman. So “serious” is a relative term.
Movie Buzz Befriend the movie on MySpace and leave a comment in 100 words or less as to why you deserve a walk-on role in Judd Apatow's new movie, Funny People. Here's your one chance to break into the exclusive Apatowian “cool kids” clique. It's less hard these days than back in high school.
Movie Buzz Two producers from ‘The Office’ are writing the script for ‘Ghostbusters 3.’ The sequel will reunite the original cast, and the Judd Apatow cabal may be involved in some way that I’m too excited to understand in detail. Ghostbusters! Yay!
Movie Buzz Jason Segel’s genitals make a masterful debut in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which is being touted as representing a new comfort with onscreen male nudity. If only there were a flaccid penis or two in Norbit, we might have actually enjoyed ourselves!
Movie Buzz Kevin Smith’s attempt to exploit the “I’m F*cking” celebrity video phenomenon to promote his new movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno feels like a mediocre version of a Judd Apatow-style viral stunt, especially since the movie features Apatow veterans Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks. This leads some to wonder: In a world with Judd Apatow, is Kevin Smith still relevant?
