What’s Seth Rogen’s Most Annoying Habit?

Columbia Pictures(NEW YORK) -- Spielberg and Lucas; Poehler and Fey; Damon and Affleck — the “best buddies as successful work partners” genre is hardly new within Hollywood. But few duos are as self-referential about their real-life friendship in their movies as Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Best friends since meeting at a Bar Mitzvah when they were 13-year-olds growing up in Vancouver, Canada, Rogen and Goldberg co-wrote the raunchy comedy Superbad and the cancer dramedy 50/50. Both films were inspired by pivotal events in their friendship and featured Rogen acting on-screen.

Now the BFFs are back in theaters with their directorial debut, This Is The End, but in a new interview with Peter Travers, Goldberg admitted that there’s one thing he hates about his childhood pal: a tsk sound Rogen used to make when Goldberg “did something bad.”

“I was like, literally ‘if you make that noise again, I’ll…” Goldberg said, intimating that their BFF-dom would be soooo over.

For more of Peter Travers’ interview with the two, where they reveal which of the This Is The End actors is most like their on-screen portrayal, watch the video below.

James-Collier says the wig he’s wearing while filming Downton Abbey costs more than $6,000. “It’s the king of wigs...As wigs go, it’s beautiful. And it means if I ever go bald, I can stick the wig on so I’ll always have work.”

As for his character, James-Collier reveals he finds a new “evil partner” in the fourth season because Miss O’Brien is no longer around. Siobhan Finneran, the actress who played Miss O’Brien, decided to leave the series.

Ke$ha Dismisses Misconceptions, Admits to Being 'Kissing Slut'

Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- We're used to seeing Ke$ha running covered in glitter with no pants, but she looks like a clean-cut college girl on the cover of SELF magazine's July issue, with light makeup, neon-green hooded sweatshirt and black workout shorts.  Inside, the singer dismisses many of the misconceptions about her, like the fact that people think she's a perpetually-drunk sex maniac.

Discussing the fact that she hands out condoms with her face on them at her concerts, Ke$ha tells SELF, "I think every girl should invest in a condom with her face on it -- it's super awkward and hilarious.  But people think because I hand out condoms, I must be some sort of ho.  That's not the case."

"I'm a little bit of a kissing slut," she continues. "But usually, I just make out and run away."

Ke$ha also says that despite her party-girl reputation, she works hard to keep fit and healthy, and you can certainly see the results in the magazine's photo spread. "People think I sit around and drink whiskey all day, but I couldn't keep up a three-month tour if I were getting hammered every night," she points out. "Training for a tour is like training for a marathon."

Ke$ha says her fitness routine includes running, rock climbing, biking, swimming, yoga and circuit training, and that "Eighty percent of the time, I watch my portions and eat veggies and lean protein."

"I...want to look good when I'm nearly naked onstage in front of thousands of people," she tells SELF about her workout goals. "I'd prefer it to be a pleasant experience when people look at me...I don't have the best body in the world, but I choose to celebrate it."

“If we could’ve we would’ve, you know that about us,” they wrote. “We trust that you can respect our collective desire to encourage Ted to make a full recovery, and that this is based purely on the medical advice we have received.”

Adele to Receive MBE Honor from Queen Elizabeth II

Dan MacMedan/WireImage(LONDON) -- Adele has won nearly every major music award out there -- not to mention an Oscar and a Golden Globe -- but now, she's receiving an honor that's truly representative of what she's meant to her home country of Great Britain.

Queen Elizabeth II has named Adele an MBE -- Member of the Order of the British Empire -- as part of Her Majesty's annual Birthday Honors List.  This award is given for "a significant achievement or outstanding service to the community."  Given that Adele has pretty much single-handedly boosted the British record industry thanks to her monster-selling album 21, the award makes sense.

Adele's certainly in good company.  The Beatles also were named MBEs, although John Lennon famously returned his medal in 1969, complaining of, among other things, Britain's support of the U.S. in the Vietnam War.

Many other musicians have received similar honors from the Queen, but of a slightly higher ranking than an MBE; there are several other levels, including OBE and CBE. Honorees include Rod Stewart, Annie Lennox, Eric Clapton, Sting and the Bee Gees.  Of course, the highest honor is a knighthood, which has been given to the likes of Sir Elton John, Sir Mick Jagger, Sir Paul McCartney and U2's Bono, though his knighthood is honorary -- because he's Irish, he's not allowed to be called "sir."
