The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Latest A-List Fan? Judd Apatow

"40 Year Old Virgin" director says the LA ladies are unlikely role models.

Judd Apatow, the writer/producer/director behind Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, and The 40 Year Old Virgin says he's a huge fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but not for same reasons you and I are.

"I use it as a teaching tool," he tells the L.A. Times. "When my daughter gets upset, I'll say, 'Now how should you handle this situation? Should you handle it like Kim or like Adrienne?' I'm a big fan of the 'show your kids awful things and tell them don't do that' strategy of parenting. It's all teaching moments. It's all conflict resolution. How do people interact and communicate? When are they too hard on each other? When are they not listening? I can find all sorts of bogus reasons to pretend it’s healthy to show my kids."

Seems like a solid plan... But don't be surprised if your little princess starts demanding $60,000 birthday parties and her very own private jet.
