How Dare You Not Be Charmed By Judd Apatow’s Publicity Tour?!
5:09AM Natasha VC | In the waning days of his publicity blitz, Judd Apatow is blogging over at MTV in some kind of meta ‘comedians-are- sensitive-beings-who-have-Google-alerts-and-read-them’ promotion for Funny People. It’s quite enjoyable! More »
