According to Forbes, Will Ferrell tops the list of overpaid stars. For every dollar he is paid, his movies only make $3.29. Shia LaBeouf's films, for example, make $160 per dollar he is paid. (He's on the mag's Best Stars for the Buck list.)
Three times the charm, well at least for funnyman Will Ferrell. The actor is expecting his third child, a boy, with wife, Viveca Paulin.
The couple, who met in 1995, already has two sons: Magnus, 5, and Mattias, 2. (The new baby will no doubt have an awkward M name too.)
The baby is due in January.
Congrats on their full house, of boys! Gluck Viveca.
Will Ferrell’s new film, Land of the Lost, is shockingly unfunny, unyieldingly grating and part of a disturbing new trend in Hollywood: the repellent leading man. Like Seth Rogen in Observe and Report, Ferrell spends the entire film doing everything in his power to be entirely unlikable, all the while winking at the camera as if the audience is in on the joke.
The sad thing is, this isn’t a joke anyone would want to be a part of.
Will Ferrell is a wild man!
Or, at least a Man vs. Wild man.
Will recently put his life in the hands of Bear Grylls to film in an upcoming episode of Man Vs. Wild.
On the show, which is expected to air in June, Ferrell spends 48 hours in the frozen Swedish wilderness learning how to stay alive on nothing but twigs, bugs and berries with the former military survival expert.
And you know Bear’s fave tip? The one about drinking your own urine?
Yeah, Will does that.
Please excuse us while we gag.
Zac Efron has teamed up with his lady love Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, his 17 Again costar Thomas Lennon, and his Hairspray costar Queen Latifah for a video for Will Ferrell’s website FunnyOrDie.com.
Zac’s Hairspray director Adam Shankman oversaw the video which was shot at Adam’s Hollywood Hills home on Tuesday and features quite a bit of ripped, shirtless Zac and his six pack.
So far all anyone knows is Lennon (who people might recognize from Reno 911) plays Zac-y Pooh’s Uncle Hank who crashes his A-list pool party.
WHOA!
Salman Rushdie arrived at last night’s premiere of The International in New York City with his new…eh, lady.
And she looks like a man, man.
Her name is Pia Glenn and she currently appears as Condoleezza Rice in Will Ferrell’s Broadway show You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush!
He’s 61. She’s 32.
He’s 5’7. She’s 6’1.
He’s a man. And she might be one too.
Pia is a mayjah downgrade from Padma, his ex-wife of three years.

Will Ferrell is joining the growing ranks of Hollywood actors heading to Broadway.
Ferrell and his producing partner Adam McKay, who he collaborated with on Anchorman, Step Brothers and the comedy website Funny or Die, are teaming up to write a one-man show for Will called You're Welcome America - A Final Night with George W. Bush.
The show starts previews at Manhattan’s Cort Theatre on January 20th, the day of the presidential inauguration for whomever is elected November 4th, and opens on February 1st.
All Barbra Streisand has to do is open her mouth and millions start flowing.
Last night, she helped Barack Obama pull in a stunning $9 million by performing a rare show at a Democratic Party fundraiser. Tickets to the concert, at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, cost $2,500 a piece, a price happily paid. But those were the cheap seats.
If you’re a big baller with mad Barack love, you splashed down $28,500-a-head to attend a pre-concert dinner. That’s what Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Jodie Foster, Jamie Lee Curtis and Steven Spielberg did.
Don’t let The Brady Bunch fool you; divorce, remarriage and combining families is difficult. But not nearly as much as trying to find the laughs in Will Ferrell’s new film Step Brothers. If we wanted to work this hard, we’d go to the gym.
