Not Safe For Work

Well, that’s one way to forget Sarah Marshall. Old co-stars Russell Brand and Jason Segel locked lips at the Stand For Haiti concert in LA yesterday, a benefit featuring Tenacious D, The Shins, Aimee Mann and Black Francis of The Pixies. Too bad Jack Black didn’t get in on this, right?

Considering Katy Perry’s enthusiasm for same-sex flirtation, the smooch probably guarantees Segel a spot at their wedding, which the comedian has joked might be clothing-optional. “We are going to do the wedding naked! All the families will be naked! We’re still deciding what to do.” Judging from his revealing performance in Marshall, Segel shouldn’t have any qualms if they do decide to go nude.

Russell Brand can seemingly bewitch any woman he wants into bed, and if he fancied it, it looks like men are on the cards, too. I Love You, Man star Jason Segel is a fan and showing the priapic comedian some man-love.

“I kind of copied his style for my performance in the film. Russell possesses a quality that I’ve never had - he’s very comfortable in his own skin,” he says. Meanwhile, Russell continues to fit in women at an impressive rate. Two girls dressed only in robes (see pics below) rushed out of his house yesterday to try and avoid getting a parking ticket on their car . Yeah, you couldn’t make it up.

Jason Segel, who made a name for himself by starring on Judd Apatow’s cult TV hit Freaks & Geeks, has the same laid-back, California vibe that he exudes in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. He also has a razor-sharp wit. Maybe this is why he seems like a natural fit to co-star as Paul Rudd’s new Best Dude Forever in I Love You, Man — an exploration of male friendship that opens tomorrow (March 20). We spoke with Jason about the real-life nature of his man friends, whether he’s a “girlfriend guy” or a “guy’s guy” and what Hollywood hunk he’d most like to have a man date with. Answer: The First African-American President of the United States is more his type.

Scandalist: I Love You, Man has a hilarious cast, including you, Paul Rudd, Andy Samberg, Rashida Jones, Jon Favreau and Jaime Pressly. Which one of you was the “class clown” while filming the movie?

Jason Segel: I’d have to say Andy. Andy Samberg. He’s hilarious from the moment he arrives on set, which is 6 a.m., to the moment he leaves. But there was this one moment … Forgetting Sarah Marshall had just come out when they began filming I Love You, Man, and I was feeling a little down because Forbidden Kingdom had beat it by $1 million. A woman approached me on the way to set, and said: “I just need to tell you I saw the movie this weekend and I loved it.” When she walked away, Andy turned to me and said, “She thinks you’re Jet Li.”

Despite not having a role in I Love You, Man, Jack Black not-so-coyly graced the premiere’s red carpet last night with his wacky facial expressions and noticeably pained wife, Tanya Haden. More toned-down and dapper on the red carpet was the cast, including Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Rashida Jones, and Andy Samberg. See pictures of them below, as well as Elizabeth Banks donning a doily, Audrina Patridge looking vacant but pretty, and Haden resisting the urge to slap her husband.

Check back tomorrow for our interview with star Jason Segel.

With both Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders pregnant, a lot of people have wondered if their growing bellies would be utilized for a storyline on How I Met Your Mother. After all, Hannigan’s Lily is happily married to Marshall (played by I Love You, Man’s Jason Segel), and it’s been awhile since someone took advantage of new babies in sitcomland. Not gonna happen, Hannigan told Us Magazine.

It had been discussed whether or not they would write it in, and they had the opportunity to, but just working with babies for one week confirmed it’s a good thing they’re not writing it in. Babies are hard to work with!

Jason Segel is not the best with little babies. They seem to scream every time he comes near them. But once they’re, like, kids, they love him. So maybe if Lily could just pop out a 4-year old, it would be OK. But newborns? Noooo …. keep them away from Jason!

Awww! If anyone could put a novel spin on pregnancy cliches, it would have been these guys. But with ratings up and contracts extended, there’s plenty of time for the producers to change their minds.
