Seth Rogen Says He’s More Successful Because He Doesn’t Have Kids

by

As Hollywood debates nepotism babies receiving insider benefits, Seth Rogen made it clear that he and his wife, Lauren, do not plan on having children. The couple first met in 2004 and, after a seven-year courtship, tied the knot. Their relationship isn’t just romantic; the Rogens have worked together on several projects, including Superbad. A clip of Seth’s interview on Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett has gone viral, where he speaks about how not having children has enriched his life.

It’s easy to come across parents who say that their children are the highlights of their lives. However, the Rogens purposefully decided against expanding their family. Additionally, the actor said being without kids has helped his success. “There’s a whole huge thing I’m not doing,” he stated with a laugh. “Which is raising children.”

“Some people want kids, some people don’t want kids,” said Rogen. He noted that in observing people in his life, they didn’t even think about whether or not they actually wanted kids before being confronted with parenthood. “Honestly, you just are told, ‘You go through life, you get married, you have kids. That’s what happens.’ And me and my wife, neither of us were like that.”

He added, “Honestly, the older we get, the more happy and reaffirmed we are with our choice.” Rogen and Lauren enjoy being in the “prime” of their lives, prosperous and free to do as they please. “And we can just do that, and we don’t have to have a child,” he further shared. “Which the world does not need right now. So, yeah, we’re very happy with our choice to not have kids.”

An Unproblematic Couple Who Have Lasted For Decades

Seth and Lauren Rogen aren’t the pair to go viral, but these comments put their marriage at the forefront. PEOPLE revisited an interview they did with the Rogens last month, where they spoke about the longevity of their relationship. Both noted that they don’t look to have conflict with one another, and they make it a priority to put their love and relationship first.

Seth Rogen Reflects On Negative Reviews

by

Seth Rogen, the popular comedian and actor, is speaking out about negative reviews. He appeared in an interview to talk about many things. Among the conversation, Seth Rogen states that these negative reviews have affected him over the years. Poor reviews for two of his movies, The Green Hornet and The Interview, are particularly devastating. Seth talks about how he is at nearly the top of his profession. Despite his success , many critics feel the need to comment on his own personal expression.

The Green Hornet is a 2011 action-comedy film in which Rogen played the lead role. He also wrote the screenplay for the film, making him deeply involved with the movie. Many criticized the film’s plot and pacing. However, others praised Rogen’s comedic performance and screenwriting abilities. Seth Rogen is known for taking his work seriously and putting his heart into his art. As a result, criticism can feel like a personal attack to him. The Interview is another project by Rogen. This film received a lot more negative attention, with many calling the movie “crass.”

Seth Rogen Feels Hurt By Harsh Criticism

While the entertainment industry is tough, Seth Rogen believes critics should take a different approach. He states in an interview that he thinks media critics have the ability to hurt people more than people initially think. As a result, the actor and filmmaker believes critics need to second guess how they approach writing their reviews. A lot of fans and filmmakers are on Rogen’s side when it comes to addressing criticism. However, there are many who think that Rogen is being a bit too soft.

Many people are quick to give their two cents on the subject online. Part of being in the entertainment field is being open to criticism. While the reviews may be harsh, a lot of people think the negative talk should not weigh Rogen down. The artist does admit that it is hard for him to not take these moments personally. However, there are no apparent signs that Seth is planning on quitting his career. In fact, he is currently working on more projects, as well as releasing finished ones.

Steven Spielberg Says He Doesn’t View Seth Rogen’s Films As “Stoner Movies”

by

Steven Spielberg says that he doesn’t consider Seth Rogen’s films to be “stoner movies,” since he’s never been high before. Spielberg made the comment on the red carpet for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala.

“Well, having never been stoned, I don’t see them as stoner movies,” he told Variety reporter Marc Malkin, before referencing Superbad. “I see them as movies about a police officer giving solid, sound advice to an impressionable person.”

Malkin then asked for Spielberg to do live commentary on Rogen’s films, to which Rogen said, “One day.”

Back in 2018, Rogen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he revealed that Spielberg isn’t a “big fan” of weed. Despite this, that didn’t stop Rogen from engaging in front of him.

“I just kept smoking it in Steven Spielberg’s face as I saw, like, the look on his face where he’s just like, ‘I’m never working with this motherfucker, ever,’” Rogen said at the time.

Rogen ended up going on to star in Spielberg’s newest film, The Fabelmans. For the movie, Rogen plays Bennie, a character heavily inspired by Spielberg’s uncle.

“[He’d be like] ‘My uncle did that all the time, do that, and let’s get another one,’ and it was like these new memories would form, and you’d capture them on film in real-time,” Rogen recalled. “Yeah, I’ll never have another experience like this.”

The Fabelmans hit theaters on November 11, 2022. The movie is based on Spielberg’s own adolescence and his introduction to the art of filmmaking. It also stars Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, and Gabriel LaBelle.

Seth Rogen Trolls Kim Kardashian At “Women In Entertainment Breakfast”

by

Seth Rogen teased Kim Kardashian during The Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment Breakfast” on Wednesday. Confused by Kardashian’s absence, Rogen joked about her having nothing better to do.

“Are we going to talk about how Kim Kardashian didn’t show up?” Rogen asked the crowd. “I have seen every episode of ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ I know she doesn’t have anything more important to do than this.”

Rogen then back down remarking that she probably had good reason to miss out.

“She’s honestly… she’s probably dealing with a lot right now,” he added.

As for why Kardashian skipped out on the event, her team explained the decision in a statement provided to TMZ.

“The wrong event date was given to Kim’s team several weeks ago,” they said. “The error was realized only on Monday and unfortunately, her schedule could not be moved around at the last minute due to a prior work commitment. She was incredibly disappointed to not be able to attend since she never cancels.”

Season 2 of The Kardashians finished airing on Hulu, last month. Rogen, on the other hand, recently starred in Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans.

Rogen wasn’t the only one to make fun of Kim Kardashian at the event. Chelsea Handler also poked fun during her time on stage, joking about security at the event not being enough for Kim.

While she wasn’t in attendance at the breakfast event, Kardashian did post new pictures on Instagram.

Check out Seth Rogen’s comments at the Women in Entertainment Breakfast below. Hollywood Reporter held the event in honor of its 2022 Women in Entertainment Power 100 list.

Snoop Dogg’s Blunt Sold For A Staggering Amount At A Charity Auction

Here’s a fun question: How much money is a Snoop Dogg blunt worth? On one hand, the rapper is perhaps the most iconic marijuana-associated celebrity, so a joint once owned by him is a special thing for fellow enthusiasts. On the other hand, thousands and thousands of Snoop Dogg blunts have found their way into existence over the years: In a 2012 Reddit AMA, Snoop noted he smokes about 81 blunts a day. If he kept that up daily for ten years, that’s over 295,000 blunts, and Snoop’s been smoking for much longer than just a decade.

So, how much is a Snoop blunt worth? It appears the answer is $10,000.

In a recent Variety interview, Seth Rogen and wife Lauren Miller Rogen spoke about Hilarity For Charity, their nonprofit and annual event focused on Alzheimer’s disease, for its tenth anniversary. During the conversation, they were asked if there was “one performance or moment through the years that you think really captures what Hilarity For Charity is all about,” and Seth said, “Snoop Dogg once auctioned off a blunt on stage for Alzheimer’s.” Lauren chimed in, “I think it went for $10,000.”

Seth continued, “I think that encapsulates how we are approaching the space differently. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get Snoop Dogg to come perform at your show and auction off a blunt for Alzheimer’s care and research, then I think that speaks very well to an unexpected but effective kind of melding of matters and sensibilities.”

Snoop Dogg Once Auctioned Off A Blunt For $10K At A Charity Auction

by

Snoop Dogg is one of hip hop’s greatest assets. The West Coast legend is known just as much for his love of California and marijuana as he is his music. As a cannabis enthusiast, Snoop was one of the first rappers to have his own strain of marijuana, dubbed the Snoop OG. Last month, the “Gin & Juice” legend reveled that he smokes a whopping 81 blunts a day, seven days a week.

On his first time smoking marijuana, Snoop told Esquire, “The first time I got high off marijuana was in the seventies, with one of my uncles. They had these little roaches on the table–these part-way-smoked marijuana cigarettes–and there was some Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull.” The 50-year old star added, “[I] sipped the Schlitz, and my uncle asked me did I wanna hit that roach. And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was about eight or nine years old.”

With a longterm relationship to ganja such as Snoop’s, it comes as no surprise that fans are willing to pay money for a blunt from the legend. According to actor Seth Rogan, the Grammy nominated rapper once sold a blunt for $10,000 at an Alzheimer’s Charity Auction back in 2016. “Snoop Dogg once auctioned off a blunt on stage for Alzheimer’s,” the actor recounted, as his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen chimed in, “I think it went for $10,000.”

Rogen went on to praise the iconic music legend, adding, ”If you’re lucky enough to be able to get Snoop Dogg to come perform at your show and auction off a blunt for Alzheimer’s care and research, then I think that speaks very well to an unexpected but effective kind of melding of matters and sensibilities.”

As for Snoop, he recently gave his personal blunt roller a raise, due to inflation. Share your thoughts below.

Seth Rogen Still Has No Idea How He Ended Up Sitting Front Row At Adele’s Televised Concert Special

by

Seth Rogen digs weed. Let me take that back. Seth Rogen absolutely loves weed. He recently lit up with Conan O’Brien on the last episode of the host’s TBS late-night show. Rogen’s got his own weed company and is rolling in success, along with rolling in joints. For those reasons, it’s not at all hard to believe that Seth was high while recently appearing in the front row of Adele’s CBS TV concert special, “Adele One Night Only.”

There were a few surprises during the course of that special, apparently. Adele helped one gentleman pull off a surprise proposal that night, and as it turns out, Rogen was very surprised to be front row at an Adele show while the thing was being taped for TV. Here’s how he boisterously explained (to Jimmy Fallon) how this happened. Let’s just say that weed wasn’t the reason, but it still came up in conversation:

“I was in the front row of the Adele concert. And that is as surprising to me as anyone because I had no idea I was attending the taping of an Adele television special at all. I got an invitation, ‘Do you want to go to a small Adele concert?’ is what I remember absorbing. And I go to my wife Lauren, ‘You want to go to this small Adele concert?’ ‘Great, sounds fun’ … So, if I’m being honest, I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, I smoke weed, Jimmy.”

Rogen continued while adding that he “smoked a ton of weed” that night, and then, when he and his wife (Lauren) arrived at she show, “we see camera cranes.” That was when he realized that this was probably going to be on a TV show, but he reasoned, “Maybe it’s not that big a television special.” That’s when he saw Oprah at the show, and then Rogen thought maybe he could “just sit in the back.” However, that’s not what the powers in be had in mind for him, despite not being “equipped mentally to deal with doing this right now, really.” The situation progressed to where “I sit down, there’s like a camera literally just pointed at my face.”

Sounds surreal. And as one might expect, Rogen rolled with it. He stars as Santa Claus in Santa Inc. (which is currently streaming on HBO Max), and you can watch him at the aforementioned Adele concert in the below video from Entertainment Tonight.
