Work of art or a pervert's paradise? Risqué 26ft statue of Marilyn Monroe is unveiled in the Windy City

By Amy Oliver


That pose, that dress, the blonde hair, the luscious lips ...

A 26-foot tall statue of Marilyn Monroe towering above tourists in the middle of Chicago was unveiled on Friday to much applause.

Bemused shoppers stopped and stared, a boy tried to crawl up her leg and the men from a wedding party could not resist taking a few photos from all angles.

High and mighty: The curious gather around Seward Johnson's 26ft sculpture of Marilyn Monroe in Chicago


Desperate to keep her identity a secret until Friday, workers who put the statue in place on Thursday had to put a rather unsightly cloth bag over the poor girl's head, albeit it one in red, white and blue.

The statue, by artist Seward Johnson, replicates the actress's famous subway scene in 1955 film The Seven Year Itch and was unveiled on Chicago's Pioneer Court.

In the scene Monroe stands over a subway grate as a breeze from a train passing below blows her skirt over her panties.

It was shot in New York but as the Windy City, Chicago seems like the second best location for such an art work.

Now THAT'S a Kodak moment! Or at least an iPhone moment

It will be on show through the Spring of 2012.

The stainless steel and aluminium sculpture, which weighs a whopping 34,000lbs, has raised more than a few eyebrows.

Not least because visitors to the plaza are at once confronted with Monroe's pert bottom in gleaming white panties and her perfect pins bedecked in white, open-toe kitten heels.

Covered up: A worker puts the finishing touches to the statue on Thursday

What did you do at work today darling? One man touches up the statue's under carriage with paint

Breathtaking views: A worker is seen spraying the statue's panties before the great unveiling on Friday

You missed a bit: Well, Monroe always did have men at her feet


Men have been spotted gawping while their wives get cross and attempt to shield their eyes and lots of people have stopped to take a quick snap of the giantess before she goes public tomorrow.

Not all are happy of course. Abraham Ritchie wrote on Art Chicago Blog the statue was a 'creepy schlock from a fifth-rate sculptor that blights a first-rate public art collection.'

But the Zeller Realty Group, which owns the plaza and now its statue, wants Marilyn to make people think.

...And the real thing: Monroe cools off via the subway in front of Tom Ewell in The Seven Year Itch


'(Paul Zeller) likes to bring in things that cause a conversation,' said a spokesman from the company. 'They might be controversial, but he likes art that makes people think.'

And if that fails at least her skirt will be a good place to shelter from the rain.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 set to cast a record-breaking spell on the box office

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Making box office magic: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint at the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


Harry Potter and his friends are already making magic at the box office.

According to distributor Warner Bros., Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: part 2 is on its way to breaking box office records over the weekend.

The final big screen instalment of the franchise has already raked in $100 million (£62.2 million) worldwide since its Wednesday opening.


The final showdown: Harry, Hermione and Ron face the great unknown in the franchise's final film


It has already broken records in Australia, Italy and Sweden and France for having the biggest opening day in history.

Harry's last stand has created far more buzz than its predecessor: total revenues were 82 percent higher than they were for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 in November.

Although Part 1 had its biggest opening weekend in the United States with a whopping $125 million (£77.5 million), the last film is still expected to best that number at the box office.



He-who-must-not-be-named: Potter and friends face Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


After its midnight opening last night, it's already grossed $43.5 million (£26.97 million), the best showing of all time. This, in part, is because the film was shot in 3-D and and is a more expensive ticket at the theatre.

The 3-D viewings have accounted for 65 percent of total sales so far, which gives the movie an edge over its predecessors.

Although films like Spider-Man 3, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Dark Knight have all earned more than any other Harry Potter debut, the finale is expected to break records because of the 3-D element.

'It must remain private': Palace vetoes Zara's £1/2million wedding deal with Hello!

By Rebecca English


Zara Phillips has been forced to turn down a £500,000 wedding deal with a celebrity magazine after Buckingham Palace vetoed the arrangement.

Princess Anne's daughter is to marry England rugby captain Mike Tindall on July 30 in Scotland and was keen to sell the photographic rights to Hello!.

But she has been advised that the ceremony at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh must remain a 'private, family affair', the Mail understands.

Zara, who is 13th in line to the throne but has no royal title and does not take any money from the public purse, is said to be frustrated by the decision.

The 29-year-old world champion eventer, who is hoping to represent England at next year's London Olympics, believes that as a private individual who has to earn her own living she should be entitled to secure a deal if she chooses.

And she has still not ruled out selling a glossy 'at home' feature to the magazine in the run-up to her big day.

Zara has conducted several such interviews with the publication in the past involving both her fiancé and previous long-term boyfriend, jockey Richard Johnson.

But she is also keen not to offend her grandmother whom she adores and enjoys a warm relationship with.

Palace officials are mindful of the debacle following the 2008 wedding of her brother, Peter Phillips, to Canadian Autumn Kelly.

Debacle: Peter Phillips, the Queen's eldest grandson, and Autumn Kelly leave St. George's Chapel in Windsor. Their decision to sell snaps angered the Palace


The Queen was not consulted by her grand-son over his decision to sell the exclusive rights to the Windsor Castle ceremony and reception also to Hello!.

Mr Phillips allowed the magazine's photographers to take pictures of senior members of the royal family – including his grandmother and aunt, the Countess of Wessex, who was embarrassingly shown dancing at a post-wedding disco – plus then royal girlfriends Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy.

Images of the girls subsequently appeared over more than 20 pages of the 100-page glossy spread, riding a coach and horses through their repeated requests for privacy.

One senior royal confirmed to the Mail that the entire family was kept in the dark until the magazine hit the news-stands – believing the photographer present was taking snaps for the couple's personal album. Many expressed their outrage directly to Peter and his bride.

Although the couple have since been forgiven, palace officials strongly feel the episode 'cheapened' the image of the monarchy and are determined that it never happens again.

Sportswoman: Zara Phillips at the Barbury Horse Trials near Swindon. She hopes to represent Great Britain at the Olympics next year


Royal sources confirmed to the Mail this week that the issue of a magazine deal had been discussed but ruled out.

Instead, a small number of hand-picked photographers will be allowed into the Palace of Holyroodhouse to record the arrival and departure of the bridal party and their immediate families.

This includes fellow newly-weds, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Queen, Prince Harry and the Tindall family.

The ceremony and reception afterwards will be strictly off-limits to commercial photographers.

High profile: Zara Phillips and David Beckham launch Samsung's 2012 Olympic campaign at Canary Wharf on June 13. Much of her income is from sponsorship


'The decision has gone down like a lead balloon with Zara as she feels she should be able to do what she likes with her wedding,' said a source close to the bride-to-be, who lives with her fiancé in Cheltenham.

'She's been offered a deal with Hello! and finds it frustrating to have been advised against it when Peter was allowed.

'She believes that because she is a private individual without a title, who does not “sponge” off the public purse, she should be able to sell the rights to her wedding.

'A lot of her income as a world-class eventer comes from sponsorship and the wedding will be a huge boost to her profile.

'But the palace has put its foot down and said her wedding must be kept private. Zara is disappointed but will respect that decision.

'It may be that the odd picture is released for the benefit of Hello! and the like but nothing approaching the scale of the sell-out her brother was involved in.

'It has been made clear to Zara that if she goes ahead with releasing images to the magazine then they will be heavily edited by the Palace and she will not be able to cash in on the royal name.'

It's over: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announce shock split after seven years of marriage

By Daily Mail Reporter


Surprise separation: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, pictured at the Met Gala in New York earlier this year, have ended their marriage


Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have split after seven years together.

The couple, who are parents to three-year-old twins Max and Emme, made the shock announcement in a joint statement this afternoon.

'We have decided to end our marriage,' they said.

'This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.'


'It is a painful time for all involved and we appreciate the respect of our privacy at this time.'

The split comes as a surprise to fans given the pair's recent and quite public displays of affection.

Lopez, 41, who this year joined American Idol as a judge, accompanied Anthony, 42, on stage while he performed during the show's finale on May 25, ending the racy performance with a passionate kiss.

They were last pictured together at the unveiling of her Boy's and Girl's Club billboard in Times Square in New York on June 10.

There was certainly no sign of trouble as the Puerto Rican singer turned out to support his wife, holding her hand and giving her a peck on the lips.

No warning signs: The couple at the unveiling of Simon Fuller's Hollywood star on May 23, at the American Idol finale on May 25 and right, at their last public appearance together at a Boys and Girls Club event in New York on June 10

Where's Marc? Lopez took her mother Guadalupe to meet Prince William and Duchess Kate at the BAFTA Brits to Watch party in Los Angeles on on Saturday night


However, Anthony was notably absent at the BAFTA Brits to Watch party in Los Angeles on on Saturday night.

Lopez instead took her mother Guadalupe to meet Prince William and Duchess Kate.
During their marriage, the pair mixed business with pleasure.

In 2005, they collaborated on Lopez's first full-length Spanish language album, Como Ama Una Mujer (How a Woman Loves).

They also starred together in 2007's El Cantante, a film about salsa king Hector Lavoe.

That same year, they took their love on the road as they teamed up for a tour and in November, Lopez announced she was pregnant.

In April this year, they announced plans for a television show together, Q'Viva! The Chosen, with Simon Fuller, the creator of Idol.

Hands on parents: The pair with their twins Max and Emme in July last year


The show was to feature the superstar couple as they traveled the world to find the best performers in Latin music, dance and other arts with the goal of creating a live extravaganza.

The show had no airdate, and it's unclear if it will continue.

While they both shared ambitions for professional success, they were also focused on raising their twins and Lopez recently hinted that more children were be on the cards.

'I think Marc would like to have more kids,' she said in January this year. 'We talk about it.'

Lopez and Anthony began their relationship just three weeks after her very high profile engagement to Ben Affleck was called off in January 2004.

In June that same year, they said 'I do' in a secret ceremony at her lavish Beverly Hills home.

At the time of their wedding, the ink was still drying from Anthony's divorce from first wife, former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres.

After flaunting her romances with exes Affleck and rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs in the media, Lopez opted for a low key approach and didn't publicly acknowledge her marriage for another eight months.

Of course, Lopez had been married twice before; to restaurateur Ojani Noa, whom she split from in 1998, and to former backup dancer Cris Judd from 2001 to 2003.

Anthony has two sons Cristin, 10, and Ryan, 7, from his first marriage to Torres. He also has a teen daughter, Arianna, from a previous relationship.

The pair renewed their wedding vows in 2008 and again last year as they celebrated their sixth anniversary.

In a VH1 documentary Behind The Music recorded last year, Lopez revealed she had briefly dated Anthony in her youth, ending it because neither was ready to settle down.

When they met up again to record a track together for Lopez's movie Shall We Dance, they reignited the flame.

'We reconnected like we had never been apart,' she recalled.

'It was really the same chemistry and connection we had at the very beginning.'

Anthony added: 'That's when we knew - we'd matured enough, seen enough and lived enough to know that we were wasting our time not being together.

'I couldn't be more in love. I say it every day - I'm the luckiest man on earth.'

Lopez, who topped People magazine's 'most beautiful' list this year, has scored hit songs with If You Had My Love and Jenny from the Block. She also has become a top star in romantic comedy movies, most recently appearing in 2010 film The Back-up Plan.

As well as working on American Idol, her latest single On The Floor has been a top ten hit in several countries.

Anthony is a two-time Grammy winner and the top selling salsa artist of all time. His hit songs include Si Tu No Te Fueras and Contra La Corriente.

The highs and J.Los of romance

HUSBAND No. 1: Lopez wed Cuban-born Ojani Noa on February 22, 1997, after meeting him while he worked as a waiter at a Miami restaurant. They divorced in January 1998 but she later employed him as the manager of her Pasadena restaurant Madre's in April 2002 then fired him just six months later. She's spent the past few years trying to stop him from cashing in on their short relationship.

HUSBAND No. 2: She met Cris Judd while filming the music video for her single Love Don't Cost a Thing and the two married a year later on September 29, 2001, at a home in the L.A. suburbs. Their marriage effectively ended in June 2002, when Lopez began publicly dating Ben Affleck but they weren't officially divorced until January 2003. He now works as a choreographer in Hollywood.

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE GIGLI: Lopez and Ben Affleck began dating in 2002, quickly earning the moniker 'Bennifer.' His cameo in the Jenny From The Block video that September was universally mocked. He has said the video, where he rubs cream into her derriere, is the biggest regret of his career. Undaunted at the time, he gave J.Lo a $1.2m six-carat pink diamond ring. She gushed that Affleck, now married to Jennifer Garner, was 'the one'. Starring together in 2003 flop Gigli cemented the damage started by the video and the union was universally lampooned. Their September 14, 2003, wedding in Santa Barbara was called off just hours before the event. They split in January 2004.

Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis' magical transformation from geeky Neville to red carpet hunk

By Daily Mail Reporter


Hasn't he grown into a handsome young man: Matthew Lewis at the New York premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 on Monday


Ten years ago, Matthew Lewis was cast as the bumbling, plump Hogwarts student Neville Longbottom.

But after going through an awkward teenage phase through the Harry Potter films, the actor has really grown up into a handsome young man.

Looking back at the first Harry Potter film in 2001, it's unlikely fans would have predicted clumsy Neville would turn out to be the franchise's heart-throb.

Awkward youth: Lewis as Neville in the first Potter film in 2001 (left) and at the 2005 premiere of Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire in 2005 (right)


But attending premieres and junkets to promote the last movie Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II, fans have been amazed by his transformation.

Looking every inch the Hollywood hunk in his smart black suit at the New York premiere last week, the Yorkshireman looked a far cry from the plump schoolboy with the crooked teeth in the first film.

To play Hogwarts' student Neville in the eight films, Lewis wore yellow false teeth, shoes two sizes too big and wore prosthetics behind his ears to make them stick out more.

Throughout JK Rowling's books and film adaptations, Neville was a subject of ridicule by school villain Draco Malfoy and his cronies.

Dapper: Lewis joined co-star Tom Felton at the New York premiere after-party

Centre of attention: Lewis looked like he was enjoying meeting the fans at the Toronto premiere of Harry Potter on Tuesday


As Potter fans will know, Neville ends up turning quite heroic in the final and ends up surrounded by admirers - catching the attention of Luna Lovegood.

In a recent interview, Lewis admitted he found Luna - and girls in general - more scary than the evil Voldemort.

He told SheKnows.com: 'Neville and Luna are both outcasts when they’re younger. It was endearing for two inspiring characters. Both come from humble beginnings, people think that they’ll never amount to anything and yet they both do.

'But, Luna is a lot more scary than Voldemort, I think [laughs]. Girls in general are scarier than Voldemort. It might have been the next challenge for Neville.'

Good looking pair: Lewis and his girlfriend Shinead Husband at the World Premiere of Deathly Hallows Part 2 in Trafalgar Square


In a recent interview, he admitted when he auditioned for Potter a decade ago, he was hoping to just have a walk-on, background role and never imagined he would end up as Neville.

Reflecting on his character's journey, he said: 'Jo Rowling did such a beautiful thing with the character to have him come from a shy, bumbling little boy that was bullied and terrified of his shadow to make him into this hero, this saviour of the wizarding world.

'It's so inspiring. I'm so proud and humble to be allowed to play that for so long.'

But filming wasn't all fun for the actor - he ended up with a ruptured eardrum after Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) accidentally stuck her wand in his ear.


The gang's all here: Lewis joins co-stars (L-R) Alan Rickman, Tom Felton, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint at the New York premiere on Monday

The Apprentice: It's Helen, Tom, Susan and Jim in the final as Natasha Scribbins is fired

By Emily Sheridan


So near, but yet so far: Natasha Scribbins, 31, missed out on a place in the final after being fired by Lord Sugar


Five became four in the penultimate week of The Apprentice as Natasha Scribbins was fired by Lord Sugar.

The recruitment manager, 31, was shown the door by Lord Sugar after her 'lacklustre' spirit in recent weeks.

Natasha was called into the boardroom with Jim Eastwood, 32, and Susan Ma, 21, after Team Venture lost the fast food task.

Battling for survival: Natasha was fired after being called into the boardroom with her teammates Jim Eastwood and Susan Ma


Although Natasha appealed to Lord Sugar to fire Jim for not project managing the task adequately enough, the millionaire businessman was unimpressed that she failed to use her hospitality degree.

Both teams were asked to create a fast food chain restaurant, which would be judged by a panel of experts.

Team Logic, comprising of project manager Helen Louise Milligan and Tom Pellereau, impressed with their British pie chain MyPy and were given automatic passes to this year's final.

Decision time: Jim put himself forward to project manager, which Susan and Natasha supported

Power balance: Helen put herself forward for project manager, but wanted a bigger say on branding - which was Tom's responsibility


However, Team Venture's Mexican restaurant Caraca's failed due to its food quality and lack of a proper business plan.

As Jim attempted to divide up the tasks amongst Natasha and Susan, he ended up being in charge of the menu, naming the restaurant and the eventual kitchen.

While Susan insisted she regularly ate in Mexican restaurants and knew what she was talking about, both she and Natasha admitted they didn't know how to speak 'Mexican'... unaware Mexicans actually speak Spanish.

Market research: Jim spoke to a successful Mexican fast food chain for ideas


After disagreeing over branding and the name, Jim ended up suggesting Caracas - mixing the word up with the Spanish instrument maracas.

All three appeared to be unaware Caracas is actually the capital of Venezuela, which was embarrassingly pointed out to them in the boardroom by Lord Sugar.

Observer Karren Brady told them: 'You actually thought Caracas was a made-up word didn't you?'

Creating the pies: Helen put herself in charge of the menu and tried out various pies


Meanwhile, it appeared Team Logic were also ignorant when it came to naming one of the pies.

After labelling two of their pies after famous Brits, they named a third one Christopher Columbus after the famous Italian explorer, mistakenly thinking he was British too.

It was only when Nick Hewer came to observe them after all their branding and menus had been printed, he questioned whether Columbus was British or not.

Wasn't Christopher Columbus Italian? MyPy wasn't so '100 per cent' British as Helen and Tom liked to think

Quality control: The pies were initially served in a cardboard box, before being changed into a plastic container


After deciding on a menu, the two teams were given a trial run with customers passing by off the street.

While MyPy appeared to go down well with a majority of the customers, Caraca's first day wasn't so successful.

Many customers were left standing around for ages waiting for their food and when it did arrive, it was cold.

You're in for a long wait: Susan tried to play the perfect hostess to the customers, who ended up being served cold food

Yummy: Tom pours gravy over the pie and mash


Working in the kitchen with a cook, Jim was lambasted for not having a plan as she told him: 'Please Jim, you should organise the kitchen... we are not ready... I need to talk to you about everything. You must think about things... it takes time to do.'

Observing them in action, Karren criticised them for focusing too much on the décor instead of a food serving system.

After a tricky first day, Lord Sugar arrived at both restaurants with his 13 advisers to judge each business.

In MyPy, the experts praised Helen and Tom for a 'very strong and contemporary message' and found their 'pies were well filled and tasted well'.

There's no Mexican fiesta here: Lord Sugar said his meal at Caraca's 'looked like something my son's dog threw up'


However, Caraca's didn't fare so well with one expert saying the sombrero logo was 'a cliché, but the branding is overall OK'.

When questioned about his business plan, Jim got his maths confused and wasn't able to give a clear direction of takings and profit.

When the two team were called to the board room, MyPy received an overall score of 7/10 for their customer service, standard of meal and marks for demonstration how their concept will work long-term, while Caraca's scored 4/10.

Good reception: The experts liked Helen and Tom's branding, concept and menu


MyPy's higher score meant the three contestants behind Caraca's would have to fight for survival in the boardroom.

Lord Sugar pointed out Team Venture had failed to come up with a business plan and costings, a major mistake.

Although they argued throughout the task, Susan and Natasha both appealed to Lord Sugar to fire Jim.

Overkill: Some of the experts thought the sombreros were 'cliché'


Susan criticised Jim for the menu, saying: 'I don't think you conducted your market research thoroughly enough.'

Lord Sugar admitted he didn't like the look of his food: 'It looked like something my son's dog threw up.'

But Jim insisted he ended up doing too much of the task himself and trying to keep the peace between warring Susan and Natasha.

Decision time: Lord Sugar had plenty to say when it came to the Caraca's restaurant


He said: 'I was babysitter from afar. The two ladies couldn't work together. I felt I had excitability from Susan and despair from the other side.'

Natasha turned personal and told Lord Sugar: 'Jim isn't able to make decisions. You've got a dark side and you're slightly underhand.'

While Jim fired back: 'You wouldn't interested in this task. You didn't give everything you could have given.'

Nerves: The final five sit nervously in the reception waiting to see Lord Sugar


When Lord Sugar asked her why she didn't use her hospitality degree, she said it was a 'long time ago' and she wasn't interested in running a restaurant.

He said: 'I can't reconcile some of the things that have happened today... I have found you a little lacklustre in the past few weeks.'

He kept Susan hanging when he told her: 'You don't seem to get on with too many people...' before telling her she was in the final.

Then he turned to Jim and praised him for his 'spirit' before firing Natasha.

We're through: Helen and Tom celebrate after they're told by Lord Sugar they're through to the final


Speaking to Karren and Nick afterwards, he said: 'This is a tough process and if you can't hack it, then maybe you shouldn't be in it.'

Meanwhile, as Susan and Jim headed back to the house, she said: 'No hard feelings, what happens in the boardroom stays in the boardroom.'

But Jim wasn't impressed: 'You smelt blood and you decided to scalp Jim.'
The Apprentice final will be on BBC1 on Sunday 17 July.

Heading home: Natasha claimed clashing personalities and her refusal to get into arguments led to her downfall

Superbad star Jonah Hill looks super good as he shows off his new slimline physique at the ESPY Awards

By Sarah Bull


Super good: Superbad star Jonah Hill is almost unrecognisable after his dramatic weight loss. Jonah is estimated to have lost around 40lbs since last December, pictured right


He's the larger than life star who made his name in comedies such as Superbad and Get Him To The Greek.

But last night Jonah Hill was virtually unrecognisable as he showed off his new slimline physique at the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles after losing an astonishing amount of weight.

The 27-year-old actor highlighted his new slim frame by wearing a smart black suit to the event, teamed with a striped purple shirt and matching tie.


Jonah spoke recently about his attempts to lose weight for his role in upcoming thriller 21 Jump Street.

He told the Los Angeles Times: 'It’s not fun. I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun endeavour I’ve ever took on in my life - but it’s important. And I’m enjoying it.

'If I eat something unhealthy now, I kind of feel a little weird and my body hurts.'

Suited and boots: Jonah poses up with Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Love backstage at the awards

Svelte: Jonah looks slim in his face and neck compared with his old look since losing the weight


Jonah kick started his weight loss earlier this year when he started to see a nutritionist and worked out with a personal trainer because he 'thought it was important to be healthier.'

It is estimated Jonah has lost around 40 pounds through his new diet and exercise regime.

Jonah recently finished shooting upcoming movie 21 Jump Street, alongside co-star Channing Tatum.

Funnyman: Jonah cracks as joke as he and Love present the award for Best Game at the ESPY Awards


The film is about an undercover police unit consisting of young looking officers who infiltrate high schools to control youth crime.

And Jonah revealed recently the action movie is set to have a lot of comedy as well.

He said: 'It's a comedy with really cool action. We're not doing something serious like Miami Vice.

Hilarious: Jonah as Seth alongside Christopher Mintz-Plasse, left, as Fogell and Michael Cera as Evan in 2007 movie Superbad

Run! Jonah alongside British funnyman and movie star Russell Brand in 2010 comedy Get Him To The Greek


'But it's not a parody. It's a funny movie with a lot of great action and a real story. I've been saying that it's like a John Hughes movie with Bad Boys style action.'

Jonah rose to fame after appearing in Judd Apatow's directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

That then led to parts such as a larger supporting role in Knocked Up, and leading roles in the Apatow-produced Superbad and Get Him to the Greek.
