Seth Rogen: Here To 'observe And Report'
Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:27:53 | Rate news: +0
Don't call him a mall cop -- or a mall rat! Seth Rogen brings his unique brand of comedy to the dark suburban satire 'Observe and Report,' and he tells "The Insider" that the suburban hangout was never really his domain growing up. "I skateboarded, and mall parking lots are a good place to do that, but I didn't have too much money, so I didn't spend that much time at the mall," he says. In theaters everywhere April 10, 'Observe and Report' finds Seth as Ronnie Barnhardt, the head of security -- and master of his domain -- at the Forest Ridge Mall. Spending his days confronting skateboarders, shoplifters and the occasional unruly customer, he dreams of trading in his flashlight for a badge and a gun after landing a coveted spot in the police academy. "Ronnie obviously is a very disturbed character," explains Seth, "but I think in his heart he's just a guy who isn't viewed by the world the way he wants to be viewed, and I think a lot of people can relate to that and have felt that way." When a flasher terrorizes the mall customers, Ronnie seizes his opportunity to catch the perpetrator and be noticed by his dream girl (Anna Faris) -- the hot make-up counter clerk who won't give him the time of day. "You haven't lived 'til Seth Rogen is on top of you, half naked," says Anna with a laugh. "We have this very brief but offensive love scene." But off-camera, she raves that her leading man is a delight, with a similar Pacific Northwest mentality: "He's just as easy-going off cameras as he is on-camera," she reports. "He laughs more than anybody I've ever met, and it's fairly contagious." "I feel like a baseball fan who's getting to play with Joe DiMaggio every day," says Seth of his film success. "I'm getting to work with the people I've always wanted to work with, and make the types of movies I love to go see, so I feel really lucky about all of that." Watch ET for more with Seth and Anna in 'Observe and Report'!

'dancing With The Stars' Shocker: Steve-o & The Woz Safe!
Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:25:28 | Rate news: +0
This week's "Dancing" duos with the lowest combined totals -- Denise Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Holly Madison and Dmitry Chaplin -- competed against each other in a dance-off on Tuesday night, with the losing team going home! Looking to improve on their 17-point samba that Len Goodman called "wooden" on Monday night, Holly and Dmitry danced first. And even Len had to concede: "You came out really hot tonight." Bruno Tonioli couldn't deny their hotness factor either, but added that Holly and Dmitry's "timing leaves a little bit to be desired." Carrie Ann Inaba added to Holly, "You kept your foot on the ground much better." The judges awarded the duo a total score of 18. Reprising the salsa that on Monday night scored them a paltry 16, Denise and Maksim stormed the dance floor next, and the judges were impressed. "Denise, I cannot believe under these extremely difficult circumstances how much you have improved from last night -- leaps and bounds," Bruno enthused. "You were good under pressure," Carrie Ann agreed. "In my opinion, tonight you do [deserve to stay]," Len added. The judges beamed upon them with 20 points total. But after viewer votes were factored in, Denise and Maksim found themselves ousted from the ballroom! "Well, my daughters love my dancing," said Denise, who added that she will remain a fan of the show. In a "DWTS" twist, Steve-O and Steve Wozniak -- the judges' least favorite stars this week -- were declared safe early on. Plus, Hall & Oates got the crowd swinging with their soulful classic "Maneater," and Adele performed her hit "Chasing Pavements."
