Seth Rogen is engaged, Life & Style reports. Life & Style’s press release follows:

It’s a happy ending for this funnyman! Life & Style can exclusively reveal that actor and writer Seth Rogen, 28, has proposed to his longtime girlfriend, writer and actress Lauren Miller, also 28.

“He surprised her with the proposal,” a friend of Seth’s tells Life & Style. “She’d started giving up hope that he would ever pop the question.” Seth asked Lauren – whom he’s been dating since 2004 – to be his bride just last week, after the two returned from visiting family in Boston. “Her family adores him; everyone is thrilled to plan a wedding,” the friend adds.

As for Seth, there’s no doubt as to how he feels about Lauren: “I have a girlfriend who is far prettier than I should have,” he’s said.

Congratulations to the happy couple!!! (Source)

News broke last month that Todd Phillips was developing a John Belushi biopic — the latest in a long string of efforts to thrust the “Saturday Night Live” funnyman’s life in front of the camera — and the “Hangover” director was anything but pleased.

“That’s something that gets released by some agent of somebody and then you get asked questions about it,” Phillips told MTV News, in what we believe are his first public comments about the project. “It’s in its very nascent stages.” But ever the good sport, Phillips expanded on what has been reported in the trades.

The biopic will likely not have the easily digestible character arc that we’ve seen in recent Oscar-bait biopics and the man who eventually plays Belushi could be either a household name or an unknown actor.

“Our goal is not to do a traditional biopic approach with it that people expect, whether you’re talking about ‘Walk the Line’ or ‘Ray.’ All good movies, but our goal is not to make that typical biopic,” Phillips explained. “We want to make a movie that, if John Belushi saw it, he would be happy that it captured his spirit. Sometimes I feel that they don’t entirely capture the spirit of the person they’re about. Our goal is to capture the spirit of Belushi, not necessarily make a straight-ahead biopic.”

At the moment, Steve Conrad (“The Pursuit of Happyness”) is still working on a story treatment with Phillips and hasn’t even begun work on the actual script. As Phillips puts it, “Steve Conrad, who’s a f–king brilliant writer, is working on a story for it.”

Now, it’s all well and good to assert that you’re not going make a traditional biopic, but what exactly does that mean? Perhaps a more compressed timeline, one that spans years or even months rather then decades?

“It could mean that,” he said. “There are a lot of ways to interpret it. One of the reasons I’m being a bit vague is because we haven’t nailed it yet. It’s in early stages. I’m really talking about the very television-narrative approach that a lot of biopics take. We don’t want to do that. We’re trying to take a very renegade approach to who I think was one of the most renegade comedy actors of all time. It’s about nailing the script down at this point,” he said. “If it’s a new face or if it’s someone people are familiar with, we haven’t figured that out yet. It’s not even so much about nailing down the script as the renegade approach to a renegade actor.”

And just who might play that renegade? A bunch of names have been floated in the press — including Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and Zach Galifianakis, one of Phillips’ frequent collaborators — but at this point it’s simply too early in the process for Phillips to speculate. (Source)

The perpetually busy Seth Rogen just lined up his next gig. He’ll voice the lead character in DreamWorks Animation’s “Boo U.,” The Hollywood Reporter reveals. The character isn’t named, but he’ll play a ghost who is sent back to school because he’s no good at scaring little kids. Sounds like “Monsters Inc.” with a “Back to School” twist.

Rogen is no stranger to animated features. He voiced Mantis in “Kung Fu Panda” — another DreamWorks joint — a role to which he’ll be returning for next summer’s “Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom.” More recently, Rogen voiced the blob creature B.O.B. in “Monsters & Aliens.” “Lilo & Stitch 2″ and “Igor” director Tony Leondis will helm the flick, which will hit screens in 3-D. No release date is listed. (Source)

“The Green Hornet” is not a drug comedy, but star and co-writer Seth Rogen knows he will have to remind people of that again and again between now and the film’s January release.

“It might be the only movie we have without any explicit pot references,” Rogen said, referring to himself and writing partner Evan Goldberg, a tandem that has given the world the bong-hit cinema of “Superbad” and “The Pineapple Express.” This film’s emerald title led to a lot of hemp wisecracks from the cast and crew.

“Yes, there were a lot of jokes flying around the set about the name of the movie — jokes that the studio begs me not to make. But I will.” Rogen, with a wink, added that his masked man and Kato might go the Cheech and Chong route for “Green Hornet 2.” “If they let us do an R-rated sequel, maybe we can go there: ‘The Greener Hornet.’“

Seth Rogen has told MTV that he and collaborator Evan Goldberg might direct their next comedy, “Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse”, based on a trailer they created with Jay Baruchel. The concept is clever: After the world ends the only two surivors are Jay and Seth…but they really don’t like each other all that much. Simple, but plenty of room there for stuff to happen.

“It takes years to write a goods movie, that’s what we’ve learned,” Rogen said of building the post-apocalyptic comedy. “We’re finally going to script form. Once you’re there, you’re kind of on the home stretch. It means you have the key ideas to build the movie,” he added. “I think me and Evan might direct it, which might be a big step for us.”

Seth attended the, “Paul” panel at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con. For those unfamiliar with “Paul,” it is a movie about two British comic-book geeks traveling across the U.S. encounter an alien outside Area 51 – Seth is the voice of the alien (Paul). I want to give a HUGE thank you to my friend, Jess at www.isabel-lucas.net for providing these pictures for me. Head over to the gallery for the latest additions.
