American Pie star Jason Biggs gets a kick out of wearing boxer shorts his wife's ex used to wear.
The actor, who wed Jenny Mollen in April, admits he found the briefs lying around one day and decided to try them on for size - and now he has claimed them.
He tells Playboy magazine, "She saw me wearing them, and she was like, `You know, those are Drew's.' I don't care. He broke them in, and they fit me perfectly.
"I wore them on our honeymoon."

Dane Cook has criticised the promotional poster for his latest big screen project My Best Friend's Girl. On his MySpace blog, the comic described the film - which stars Kate Hudson, Alex Baldwin and Jason Biggs - as his "funniest". However, he blasted its promoters for failing to capture the movie's spirit in the marketing campaign. "I'd like to inform you I had no say in this marketing campaign, but if I did, things would be different since it is obvious that this poster is boring/odd (more)

If you haven't seen the awfulness that is the new post for Dane Cook's My Best Friend's Girl look to the right and mission accomplished. Yes, it looks Photoshopped and it is dreadful and Dane Cook agrees with you. Actually, he agrees with you so much that he has put together something of a "viral" marketing ploy on his MySpace blog (people still use MySpace?) to tell you how bad he thinks it is, but how great the movie is. I will leave any comments about the movie and Cook up to you if you feel the need, but here is what he said on his blog about the poster: Before the downpour let me just say that my new movie, "My Best Friends Girl," is the best / funniest film I've done yet. It's got a terrific cast. Kate Hudson, Alec Baldwin, Jason Biggs, and myself really kicked the funny around.

We haven't covered much relating to the Dane Cook film My Best Friend's Girl, which is set to release next month on the 19th. I can't speak for Alex, but I have little interest in the entire concept and cast. Cook was only okay in Mr. Brooks, though I've never found him particularly funny; Kate Hudson is drowning in lame-ass rom-coms as of late; and Jason Biggs peaked in American Pie. Put all three together in a romantic comedy where Biggs plays the wet rag, Cook the cocky anti-hero and Hudson the maiden to be had, and you have a big ole helping of bland cinema at best. However, Cook gets some serious points for taking to his official blog and lambasting the poster for the film (seen below for reference). How great is it that the lead of a film publicly calls the studio out for a crappy one-sheet?

Funnyman Dane Cook has hit out at the marketing bosses behind the poster for his new movie because they snubbed co-star Alec Baldwin and made his face look like "it's melting off of my skull".
The comic, who produced and starred in My Best Friend's Girl - alongside Baldwin, Kate Hudson and Jason Biggs - has written an exhaustive list of the poster's faults on his blog.
He writes, "I had no say in this marketing campaign, but, if I did, things would be different, since it is obvious that this poster is boring/odd and has zero to do with the movie I performed in.
"The left side of my face seems to be melting off of my skull. My left side looks like Brittany Spears' (sic) vagina.
"It's no secret that I'm more rugged facially, due to a drunken visit by the teen acne fairy, but according to this poster I've got perfect porcelain flesh. I look like the f**kin' bathroom floor at Caesars Palace."
He adds of Baldwin's poster snub: "Alec Baldwin is so f**king funny in this movie! Is he on the poster?
"One poster stinking up the joint isn't the end of the world. Yet it sends the wrong message about our movie and I just wanted you to know, that I feel the pain."

One movie I'm not at all looking forward to this fall is "My Best Friend's Girl,"Howard Deutch's upcoming comedy starring Kate Hudson, Dane Cook and Jason Biggs. In the film, Cook struggles with the meaning of friendship when his best friend asks him to take his ex (Hudson) out on a horrible date so she can craw back to him.
Lionsgate today released a brief clip from the film, but I don't think it's funny at all. In fact, it's pretty much pathetic. Kind of what you can expect from a comedy starring Hudson, Cook and Biggs. Anyway, check it out above and let me know what you think. I was glad when it was over, although I am afraid I'll have to sit through more of this unfunny stuff when the film hits theaters Sept. 19, 2008.

Still, she says, "Hopefully I'll get to go to the wedding and really celebrate then.

Hollywood stars including Jennifer Aniston, Will Ferrell and Ellen Page have joined forces to kick off a campaign calling for the release of imprisoned Myanmar activist Aung San Suu Kyi.
The month-long campaign (begs01May08) will see 30 celebrities appear in Internet clips calling attention to human rights issues in the military-ruled Asian nation, formerly known as Burma, and seeking the release of the 62-year-old democracy icon, the world's only incarcerated Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
In Page's skit, she draws a Adolf Hitler-style moustache on a picture of the country's military leader Than Shwe, while funnyman Ferrell's vignette pokes fun at his difficulty pronouncing Suu Kyi's name.
The 40-year-old actor says, "Every now and again, a single person or event captures the imagination and inspiration of the world.
"This moment belongs to Burma (Myanmar), and to Aung San Suu Kyi. Please, honour her courage, honour your compassion and let this be the month you join an effort to change the world."
Organisers for the U.S. Campaign for Burma say the video appeals will be available through as many websites as possible.
Other celebrities lending their star power to the cause include Anjelica Huston, Eva Longoria Parker, Woody Harrelson, Rosanna Arquette, Judd Apatow and Jason Biggs.
