Seth Rogen says real-life events inspired wacky teen comedy

Seth Rogen’s ‘Superbad’ was inspired by real-life events.

The 35-year-old star co-wrote the outrageous film with Evan Goldberg, and has taken to Twitter to reveal the secrets behind its success, as ‘Superbad’ celebrates its 10th anniversary.

At the start of a series of movie-related tweets, Seth wrote: "I’ll answer some Superbad questions if anyone has any.

"Some Superbad trivia for its ten year anniversary. (sic)"

Then, Seth started to lift the lid on some of the lesser-known aspects of the movie, revealing that fellow comedian Danny Mcbride served as an extra in one particular scene.

He said, too, that Evan’s brother Dave was responsible for drawing all of the pictures of penises that appear in a scene with Jonah Hill.

Seth continued: "Danny Mcbride is an extra in the background of the first party scene in Superbad.

"Evan Goldberg’s brother Dave drew all the d**k drawings in Superbad.

"Almost all the names in Superbad are people we went to high school with and lots of the stuff in the movie really happened to us.

"The period blood on the leg scene in Superbad actually happened to my friend at a high school dance and we discovered it after the dance.

"Just like in Superbad, Mike Snider actually was the first guy to get a fake ID and it was awesome. (sic)"

Seth also revealed the role drugs played in naming the teen comedy, which also featured the likes of Emma Stone and Michael Cera.

He shared: "My good friend @mrDaveKrumholtz came up with the title Superbad while we were smoking weed at the oakwood (sic)"

Recalling some of his other happy memories of making the movie, Seth added: "The end house party in Superbad was filmed about half a block from the OJ murder house.

"My mother came up with the joke that Mclovin gets arrested for statutory rape at the end of Superbad.

"The cast of Jersey Shore confirmed to me that the phrase ‘D.T.F or ‘Down To F**k’ is from Superbad.

"Anyway, if you dig Superbad, thanks for digging it. I wrote it with my best friend in high school and we still write together. It’s lovely. (sic)"

Seth Rogen embarrassed by tweeting mom

Seth Rogen was left feeling uncomfortable when his mom tweeted about sex.

The ‘Sausage Party’ star was left horrified when his mother Sandy compared a post-coital nap to shavasana, a restorative pose done at the end of a yoga session.

Sandy tweeted: "Falling asleep after sex is like shavasana after yoga!"

In response, shocked Seth posted: "Jesus f***ing Christ mom."

And the 35-year-old actor wasn’t the only person shocked by his mother’s tweet, as his older sister Danya was equally horrified.

Along with the sick-faced emoji, she replied to her brother: "Seriously. I actually gagged."

Seth then replied: "It’s gnarly."

But Sandy wasn’t bothered by Seth’s comments, and dismissed her son’s outrage.

She replied: "It’s just an observation of life !(sic)"

When the ‘Knocked Up’ actor responded with "Whatever", she took the opportunity to make fun of him again.

She replied: "Whateverrrrrrrr mom mm!(sic)"

And she also told Danya she was "lame" after her response.

Actress Mindy Kaling also told the ‘Superbad’ star to leave his mother alone.

She tweeted: "I love it and I don’t want you to dissuade her."

But Seth replied: "I don’t think I can."

This isn’t the first time Sandy has managed to embarrass her son online.

While on vacation in January, she tweeted: My husband needs peanut butter in Paris! Crazy life!"

In response, Seth replied: "For a billion dollars, I couldn’t tell you what this means."

But Sandy was swift with her own comeback and refused to rise to his cheeky questioning of her cryptic remark.

She quickly replied: "If you would answer your phone you would know."

Seth Rogen was blocked on social media by Rob Schneider

Seth Rogen was stunned to find he’d been blocked on social media by Rob Schneider.

The 35-year-old actor tried to look at the ‘Grown Ups’ star’s Twitter profile but was amazed to receive a message telling him the 53-year-old star had stopped him from being allowed to look at his profile on the micro-blogging site.

Seth shared a picture to prove he was blocked on the platform, which he captioned: "What the f**k?! (sic)."

Rob’s snub clearly cut Seth deep as he decided to publicly slam the comedic star for looking "appalled" in his cover photo on his profile, which was a promotional image for his ‘Real Rob’ show and featured him with wife Patricia Azarcoya Schneider and their four-year-old daughter Miranda.

Alongside a screenshot of Rob’s page, which included the commercial, Seth quipped: "Why does he seem so appalled to be sitting with his own family? (sic)."

After the ‘Sausage Party’ star’s discovery, Rob agreed to unblock him on the site – but only if he would arrange a meeting for him with Seth’s friend James Franco.

Rob – who also has 27-year-old daughter Elle King with his ex-wife and actress London King – tweeted: "Dear @Sethrogen

I’ll unblock you if I can meet James Franco. You’ll be back in buddy!

Potentially yours again,

Rob."

And it seems the ‘Knocked Up’ star was only too happy to help as Rob later wrote: "Dear Seth,

You are officiallyUNBLOCKED!

Go celebrate 2Nite with some close friends.But be on your best behavior from now on!

ILOVED"TheEnd" *(sic)."

Rob then thanked Seth for introducing him to the dark-haired heartthrob, who he has hailed as a "dreamy" male, and he has confirmed the pair are "pals once again", though he hasn’t explained why he blocked him in the first place.

Rob ended the feud with a kind-hearted post, which read: "Dear Seth,

And thanks for hooking me up with Franco. You’re right, he is dreamy!

Your pal once again,

Rob (sic)."

Seth Rogen hates his neighbor

Seth Rogen’s neighbor "sucks".

The ‘Bad Neighbors 2’ actor "hates" the guy who lives next to him because he has been extending his home for over four years and it has become an "ugly house", something that really annoys Seth.

Speaking on ‘Good Morning Britain’ on Tuesday morning (05.03.16), the Canadian comic star said: "My actual neighbor sucks. I hate him, his name’s Chris, I don’t like him very much. He’s been building his house for like four years and it’s the worst thing ever, it’s an ugly house, it’s not even a nice looking house. When I was promoting the first ‘Bad Neighbors’ movie, people would ask me, ‘What’s your neighbor like?’ And I would say, ‘I don’t like him, he’s building his house’. It’s the sequel and he’s still building his house, it’s the same house … He doesn’t like me very much – he would probably say I’m psychotic and would probably like me to stop talking about him on television."

Seth would much prefer to be living next door to someone who was quiet or played good music and he thinks the Dalai Lama – the head of Tibetan Buddhism – or Adele would be great neighbors.

The 34-year-old actor – who is married to writer-and-actress Lauren Miller – added: "I would choose the Dalai Lama because he’s quiet, and someone who makes music you want to listen to – Adele. That’s my two neighbors."

Seth reprises his role as Mac Radner in ‘Bad Neighbors 2’ alongside his on screen wife Kelly Radner, played by Rose Byrne, and Zac Efron returning as Teddy Sanders.

Snoop Dogg launches cannabis product line

Snoop Dogg has launched Leafs By Snoop, a branded line of cannabis products.

The rapper has made no secret of his love of the herbal drug and has now created his first batch of cannabis-infused items, which includes food, hand-weighed marijuana flowers and hash oils that are on sale in ”dispensaries” in Colorado – where recreational marijuana use was legalized in 2013.

In a statement, Snoop said: ”It’s a true blessing that I can share the products I love so much with y’all today. From the flower, to the concentrates, and edibles – it’s all hand-picked by yours truly so you know it’s the hottest product out there. It’s the real deal and you gotta get out to Colorado to try it first!”

The rapper’s site Merry Jane will show a location mapping tool showing the sites which sell the line.

Snoop describes the site as a ”premier media platform at the center of cannabis and pop culture”.

Flavors are named Cali Kush, Bananas, Purple Bush and Blueberry Dream and available in flowers and concentrates, while ”Dogg Treats” – a branch underneath the Leafs By Snoop umbrella – will include Peanut Butter Gems, Gummies, Drops and Fruit Chews containing THC.

Meanwhile, Snoop’s new website MerryJane will feature information about marijuana and a location-mapping tool to show dispensaries of the new range.

Explaining his vision for the site, Snoop said: ”We will be like the encyclopedia to the cannabis world.”

Famous cannabis smokers Seth Rogen and Miley Cyrus are also involved with the website.

Announcing the project at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco, Snoop previously revealed that the website will accept 420 users per day ahead of the official launch.

4/20 is a code-term that refers to the consumption of cannabis.

Seth Rogen’s wife files restraining order against ‘friend’

Seth Rogen’s wife has filed a restraining order against a man who claims to be a friend of hers.

According to court documents filed by Lauren Miller – who married the 30-year-old actor last year – Yasin Ajani has shown up at the couple’s house twice, claiming to have a package for her.

According to E! News, on July 14 he allegedly told their houseguest, Stephanie Beard, that he had a delivery for Lauren and threatened to "jump the fence" if she didn’t let him in.

Ms. Beard said in the court filing "he sounded like he was not stable".

Two days later he is said to have shown up again and after being told by housekeeper Lucy Enriquez to go away, he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing.

Lauren said in the petition: "I live in fear that he will return. I have difficulty sleeping and look for [Ajani] whenever I come and go from my house."

She is also requesting that Ajani be responsible for $1,000 in attorney and filing costs.

A hearing to make the restraining order permanent is scheduled for August 10.

Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen take a road trip

Award-winning actress and singer Barbra Streisand, 68, and Canadian funnyman Seth Rogen, 28, have signed on to co-star in the road-trip comedy My Mother’s Curse, reports Variety.

Inspired by a trip he made with his mother, the script was written by Dan Fogelman (Cars). It’s the story of a young inventor who invites his mother on a cross-country road trip with a secret plan to reunite her with a long-lost love. At the same time, the mother’s hope is to help her son overcome his “curse” – for which she blames herself– of non-commitment in relationships.

Directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal), filming will begin this spring. Rogen, Streisand and Fogelman will also be executive producers of the film along with David Ellison.

Streisand most recently reprised her role of Roz Focker in Little Fockers, and she is also in negotiations regarding Gypsy, a biopic about American burlesque star, Gypsy Rose Lee.

Rogen will be voicing two animated films in the near future, the first is Paul coming to theatres March 18, and the second is Kung Fu Panda 2 due on May 27. Currently in post-production, he helped produce and stars in Live With It slated for release on September 23.

Harry Potter branches out

Daniel Radcliffe may team up with Canadian funny guys Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel in the horror-comedy Jay & Seth vs. The Apocalypse.

Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel originally created Jay & Seth as a film school project. Collider.com explains how the actors "parlayed a hilarious one-minute video clip into a deal for a major motion picture. The concept for the film would remain the same: two guys who sit in their apartment while the world ends; only the length and the budget would get bigger."

The two actors approached Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe to join the cast. A source says Radcliffe is "keen to get involved." In the meantime, Radcliffe has a few jobs lined up. He begins shooting The Woman in Black in October and will hit the stage again in How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.

Radcliffe wraps up his Harry Potter role after the final two films come out. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 hits theatres on November 19 while Part 2 opens on July 15, 2011.
