They said they were going to deliver some big names - and they have!

Seth Rogen is the first celeb to be apart of the 21st season of The Simpsons.

The funnyman can "die a happy man now" after co-writing and lending his voice to the animated series.

Seeing as Seth is able to write a HIGH-larious scripts like Superbad and Pineapple Express, writing for the long-running animated sitcom makes perfect sense.

Rogen says as a writer, The Simpson's "always seemed like the Holy Grail."

The episode titled "Homer The Whopper" kicked off the 21st season this past Sunday. Rogen played a trainer who helps Homer Simpson get into superhero shape to play a character created by the Comic Book Guy, named "Everyman".

"We wanted to comment on how Hollywood generally ruins these movies. The whole joke is Homer is cast to play a guy who's an everyman and they try to make him into this physically fit guy," Rogen said.

After comedian Ricky Gervais, Seth is the only other celebrity to write and voice for the show.

What an achievement! Congrats!

Another comic book to the big screen!

Cameron Diaz and Seth Rogen were spotted filming scenes for the already pushed back Green Hornet in El Lay on Saturday.

Seth is looking pretty sleek! Just how we like our nerdy super heros!

Will U be seeing the movie?!

A rep for Sony confirmed that the new Green Hornet film, starring Seth Rogen, has changed its release date from July 7, 2010 to December 17, 2010.

Not a good sign!

Rogen agrees with the change, saying that "it gives more time for post, which would have been immensely rushed if we were to come out in the summer. It also affords us more time to promote the film."

The film, co-written by Rogen with Evan Goldberg (who also penned Superbad and Pineapple Express together), is already in production with Michael Gondry set to direct after Stephen Chow opted out.

Rogen adds that the change is "ultimately a great vote of confidence from the studio. We got the same date that movies like I Am Legend and Avatar are getting, so we're thrilled to be there."

Hmmm, Green Hornet sounds more like a summer blockbuster lackluster to us, but whatever works.

Do U think it will do well at the holiday box office?

The new Judd Apatow flick, Funny People, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, is barely breaking the studio's low expectations!

Even though Funny People was #1 in sales on Friday with $8.6 mil, the film is only expected to bring in $25.6 million over the course of the weekend, a staggering $10-$15 million less than the norm for Sandler, whose movies usually open anywhere between $30-$40 mil!

No good!

The "dramedy" will need to earn $100 million in the States to push Universal into the green, but we don't see that happening!

Perhaps if they didn't have such a suckass trailer it would have attracted more people???

Finally, someone said it!!

While visiting Howard Stern on Thursday, Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow addressed Katherine Heigl's infamous remark about how the movie that made her movie star-level famous, Knocked Up, "paints the women as shrews" while the men look "lovable" - in her words.

In order to discredit the bitch, Rogen brought up the feminist undertones in her new film The Ugly Truth.

"That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way," he joked.

Apatow added, "I hear there's a scene where she's wearing … Underwear …with a vibrator in it, so I'd have to see if that was uplifting for women."

The Funny People director tried to give Heigl the benefit of the doubt regarding her negative remarks stating, she "probably was doing six hours of interviews and kissing everyone's ass, and then just got tired and slipped a little bit."

"I didn't slip and I was doing fucking interviews all day too … I didn’t say shit!," a frustrated Rogen responded.

"[You think] at some point I'll get a call saying 'Sorry, I was tired…' and then the call never comes,'" Apatow said regarding the aftermath of the bridge burner's statements.

"I gotta say it's not like we're the only people she said some batdhit crazy things about," said Rogen. "That's kind of her bag now."

True dat!

Katherine needs to get off her high horse and learn that once you agree to do a film, you get behind it 100%!

It's called professionalism!

You would think that funnyman Seth Rogen wouldn't really give two fro-curls about what people say about him, especially on a show that is aimed at making fun of everything Hollywood. But, apparently, he was a little insulted with the characters on Entourage referred to Rogen's "ugliness…oddly fascinating” in a debate over if he could get a babe like Katherine Heigl in real life. Besides being culturally dated, it also wasn't a very funny bit, especially to Seth.

In a recent interview, he fired back saying:

“Yeah, those guys are assholes. I actually ran into Matt…Kevin Dillon in a Starbucks. And he’s like ‘you know, I’ve got to kind of apologize because apparently the guy who created our show doesn’t like you so much.’ And I said ‘well I have reason to believe because I think [showrunner] Doug Ellin is a moron from all I can understand so it makes sense he doesn’t like me.’ And I’ve kind of said some disparaging things about the show. Although in our defense, [producer] Mark Wahlberg called us misogynistic in an interview, so I think they kind of started that…It’s on. Luckily I never have and never plan on watching Entourage.”

Those be some fighting words! Let's see if they have anything to say back! Cue Jeremy Piven with his big mouth and Mark Wahlberg with his big guns!

Nicolas Cage has reportedly been tapped to play the villain in the upcoming screen adaptation of The Green Hornet!

With Michel Gondry on board to direct and funnyman Seth Rogen starring in the film and co-writing the script, The Green Hornet is guaranteed not to be your run of the mill superhero flick.

But is that good or bad, bbs???

The production has plans to start filming in the fall, under the assumption that they are able to cast an actor to play Kato, the sidekick to Rogen's Green Hornet.

Thoughts??

Alright comic book geeks, LISTEN UP!

It is being reported that Cameron Diaz is up for the female lead in the 2010 release of the comic book flick Green Hornet, and she is seriously considering it.

A deal has not been closed yet, but she is early negotiations to play opposite Seth Rogan, who is slated to play the crime fighting vigilante as well as being the co-screenwriter with partner Evan Goldberg.

We think it's a decent fit. Gotta have the hot B-list actress to accompany the superhero!

What do U think?
