George-Michael gets Knocked Up (sort of)

When Geek God Judd Apatow a while back, he never mentioned that Seth Rogen was his second choice for leading man in Knocked Up. This clip, from Funny or Die, shows Michael Cera (aka George-Michael Bluth from Arrested Development) getting into an argument with Apatow on the set of the film - with pitch-perfect divaness rocking the whole way through. At first it seems like some .

But, given that it's from Funny or Die, and that the film opens tomorrow, AND that Cera's Web video project , this is most likely a gag. Also, if you watch closely you can see co-star Katherine Heigl kind of crack up at the end. Real or not, it's damn funny.

(Highlight: Apatow chastizing Cera by saying, Your show isn't even on the air anymore. Dude, sick burn.) Oh, and while you revel in its glory try to imagine everyone's favorite frozen banana vendor bumping fuzzies with Dr.

Model Izzie Stevens. Now that's funny.
