Leslie Mann, one of the Funny People stars, sat down with Jimmy Fallon and the gorgeous actress revealed her admiration for one of Jennifer Aniston’s best assets.

Mann tells the talk show host that she loves Jennifer Aniston but was always jealous of the way she could look so perfect in pictures where she was only wearing a bikini.

“Her butt looks so perfect,” Mann says. “I just can’t believe anybody’s butt looks that good. I thought they must have retouched it.”

The actress explains that one year at the Academy Awards her and husband Judd Apatow were seated right behind Aniston, and she took the opportunity to find out for herself if there was any retouching done in the star’s photos.

“I was sitting right behind her,” Mann explains. “I got a perfect view of every angle of her butt, and it’s perfect. The magazines don’t even do her justice.”

The new comedy ‘Funny People,’ written and directed by Apatow, and co-starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, hit theaters Friday, July 31st.

In “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” she’s a hot-to-trot drunken driver terrifying Steve Carell in the passenger seat; in “Knocked Up,” she played Paul Rudd’s wife; and in Apatow’s latest, “Funny People,” he’s written Mann an even bigger role — the one-who-got-away from Adam Sandler’s character.

“He’s growing up and learning more about women so he’s able to write better female parts,” Mann said in a recent interview, referring to her husband. But Mann quickly reconsidered that statement, amending that Apatow has always written good female roles, though he’s generally improved as a writer. There’s some sensitivity to the issue because the co-star of “Knocked Up,” Katherine Heigl, famously criticized the movie for being “a little sexist” and claiming it painted women as “shrews.”

“I kind of don’t know what she was talking about,” said Mann, who praised Heigl’s performance in the film. “I’m an actress reading scripts and I’ve seen what’s out there and it’s slim pickings. Judd does write great female parts.”

It has been mentioned previously how both Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen are miffed with Katherine Heigl. Heigl has slammed the movie that launched her film career, Knocked Up – by calling it “sexist”, amongst other things.

Judd had mentioned that he would have given her the benefit of the doubt, had she apologized for what she said. Well, she’s finally done it Judd. She has an apology all set up in her interview with this coming month’s edition of UK Marie Claire. We should warn you, though, it’s rather half-ass.

When asked if she would take anything back in her career, Katherine replied:

“If I was to say I wish I’d never made that comment about Knocked Up [being sexist], it’s not that I don’t feel the way I do about it, it’s just that it maybe didn’t need to be communicated via a magazine interview.”

Leslie Mann’s husband and “Knocked Up” director Judd Apatow and co-star, Seth Rogen are still miffed over former costar Katherine Heigl knocking the hit blockbuster. Speaking to Vanity Fair in 2007, Heigl famously remarked that the comedy “paints the women as shrews,” while the men look “lovable.” She added, “It was hard for me to love the movie.” (She later said she was “disheartened” her remarks became “the focus of my experience with the movie.”) But Rogen says he doesn’t see how Heigl’s new comedy, “The Ugly Truth,” makes women look any better.

“That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way,” he quipped on Howard Stern’s SIRIUS XM radio show on Thursday.

Added Apatow, “I hear there’s a scene where she’s wearing … Underwear … with a vibrator in it, so I’d have to see if that was uplifting for women.”

Apatow figured Heigl was “probably was doing six hours of interviews and kissing everyone’s a**, and then just got tired and slipped a little bit” when she made the remarks to Vanity Fair.
Regardless, Rogen said, “I didn’t slip and I was doing f****** interviews all day too … I didn’t say s***!”

Even more baffling, said Apatow, “We never had a ‘fight’” with Heigl while filming. “Seth always says, it doesn’t make any sense [because] she improvised half her s***,” Apatow said, adding that she “could not have been cooler.”

Apatow said he hasn’t spoken to Heigl since her remarks. He doesn’t know if he’d make a big deal about it, either.
“It all depends on how much coffee I have had that day,” he said. “If I was fighting … with someone else about something I may handle it wrong, and if I’m in like total Buddha mood, I’d be like ‘I feel sad that she hasn’t learned the lesson of her journey yet,’” he said.

After the remark, “[You think] at some point I’ll get a call saying ‘Sorry, I was tired…’ and then the call never comes,’” he said. Rogen said he doesn’t feel bad since Heigl seems to run her mouth at most people, including “Grey’s Anatomy” staff.

“I gotta say it’s not like we’re the only people she said some bat **** crazy things about,” he said. “That’s kind of her bag now.”

I’ve posted Leslie’s appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. Screen captures to be added soon! Leslie looks gorgeous and is very charming and funny in the interview.

Leslie Mann is the woman. That is, San Francisco-born Leslie Mann, 37, has made a name as the hot woman surrounded by funny men in “Big Daddy” (with Adam Sandler), “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up,” the latter two directed by her husband, Judd Apatow. In “Funny People,” written and directed by Apatow and starring Sandler with a host of comic actors including Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, Mann has her most substantial role to date: A mother of two with a rocky marriage, whose hugely successful actor ex-boyfriend (Sandler) becomes seriously ill and jumps back into her life.

Q: What is “Funny People” about?
A: It’s about me (laughs). It’s about someone (Sandler’s character) who gets a second chance at life and doesn’t quite know what to do with it. How does he change his life … or can he? In most movies, characters change completely and learn life lessons and become these great people, but in our movie I think it’s more realistic.

Q: Your character, Laura, is a devoted, loving mom, but as we sometimes forget in movies and life, she was a person before she was a mom.
A: That longing to have your life back, that feeling of freedom that mothers sometimes lose when they have children … It’s all worth it; your life is 100 times better – my life is 100 times better with my children – but I think every mother, at some point, longs for that restless freedom you have when you’re younger. I think a lot of women can relate to that.

Q: Laura makes some ill-advised moves, but they’re believable mistakes to make, yes?
A: I think there’s something wrong with people who don’t make mistakes. It’s human to do and say the wrong thing. She’s basically in the middle of a nervous breakdown, and there’s this light at the end of the tunnel that offers hope for this lonely, bleak world.

Q: What was it like on the set, with all those comics around?
A: I’m kind of always surrounded by those guys. My favorite person in the world is Jonah. It’s really easy working with Judd because we all trust him so much. People like to be around the set because it’s a fun environment. (In a very emotional scene for Laura) I was feeling kind of insecure and Seth said, “It’s good. And don’t worry; I have your back.”

Funny People hits theatres, July 31st.
