Seth Rogen named Stoner of the Year

Funny man Seth Rogen has been named Stoner of the Year.

The Green Hornet star, who has made no secret of his love of marijuana, was given the controversial accolade by High Times magazine and it is the second time he has taken the crown.

He told People magazine as reported by msn.com "I've won it twice. I actually lost to James Franco eventually. Seth joked that by being given the title a second time, he had "won one award" he's always wanted to get.

He added: "I honestly don't know which of these movies have won (or been nominated for) other awards and sh*t like that. I just know which ones I though were awesome, and I'll probably make that clear while I'm hosting."

Seth has always been open about his drug use but has been told in the past not to mention it when promoting some of his movies.

He said: "When I was promoting Green Hornet, Sony asked me to not tell too many weed stories. And I said, 'I don't think I'm capable of doing that. 'It's kind of the only thing I can talk about. I'll admit to smoking weed all the time but I'll never admit to being stoned."

MICHAEL JACKSON MOVIE "THIS IS IT"

Michael Jackson sudden death was a big blow to his fans, Michael Jackson who died on June 25 before a long awaited return to the stage. Fans will be delighted to know that a film showing his final rehearsals will be released at he end October.

The film title "This Is It,"which will be released worldwide, will be drawn from hundreds of hours of backstage footage of Jackson rehearsing and feature interviews with some of his closest friends and creative collaborators.

It is named after the series of 50 London concerts the star had planned to perform for his July farewell-before his death from an apparent cardiac arrest on June 25 at a rented mansion in Los Angeles shocked the world.

The film footage was shot mostly in June 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, other scenes was shot at The Forum in Inglewood California. Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment will co produce the film with AEG Live and the estate, while Sony Pictures will distribute the feature, which would amount to a major undertaking as Jackson had not commercialized concert footage.
