‘Step Brothers’ star Will Ferrell and his wife Viveca Paulin are expecting a third boy. The couple already has two sons, Magnus, five, and two-year-old Mattias.
“They are thrilled and can’t wait to meet the latest addition to their family," a source said. "Both boys are excited about being big brothers.”
The baby is due in January.
Even though Will is known for his humor, he recently admitted his sons haven’t inherited his funny gene.
"No, they're not funny," Will said. "They're deadly serious."
Since Will is no stranger to parenting, he has previously given out advice to his celebrity friends.
When his ‘Bewitched’ co-star Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, he jokingly suggested that she talk to her new daughter "at least once a week".
"For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week," he said. "If you've got time, do it two or three times a week. But otherwise, I find the times where I let weeks and weeks go by without talking to my children, that adds up."
Check out this hilarious ... and somewhat bizarre clip from Late Night w/Jimmy Fallon. The clip features Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon dressed up in odd costumes, pulling an audience member on stage and performing an unforgettable skit. You know things are going to get crazy when you have Will Ferrell as a guest on your show, who knows what the funnyman is going to do next!
After all of the hype and high expectations for Will Ferrell's new movie, Land Of The Lost, dissapointedly came in 3rd after Up and The Hangover. It brought in only $19.5 million, which may not sound like an epic train wreck until you consider that its budget and marketing costs were reportedly close to $200 million and it had one of the biggest stars in Hollywood on its poster. Owen Gleiberman, a move critic, wrote, "the film's only conviction is its investment in its total lack of conviction,"that's got to hurt.
Is this all due to the movie just not being that great or is this the start of a downhill slope for Will Ferrell? Is America done with Will Ferrell and his comedy?
If you were planning on going to see Land Of The Lost and expecting lots of laughs maybe you should wait till it comes out on video. It might not be worth to all the way to the theaters to see it.
These days it seems like all celebrities branch out to start their own product line. Now Will Ferrell's name joins the list of celebrity products. The actor has created a signature sunscreen line with each bottle featuring a hilarious picture of himself on the label. The SPF 30 sunscreen comes in three different varieties: Sun Stroke, Sexy Hot Tan and Forbidden Fruit.
However Will Ferrell is not just making sunscreen for more publicity, he is doing it for charity. All of the proceeds from Will Ferrell sunscreen go to Cancer for College's College Willpowered Scholarship Fund. This scholarship fund gives scholarships to cancer survivors and amputees. He has been a longtime supporter of the charity, but why did he decide to do so with sunscreen? "I've always dreamed of owning a lotion company. And I've always hated cancer," Ferrell said.
Happy Birthday to Will Ferrell! The funnyman actor turns 41 today. He's teaming up with his Talladega Nights buddy John C. Reilly and writer/director Adam McKay for the new movie Step Brothers.
They’ll play two spoiled middle aged sons who become competitive step brothers after their parents marry each other. The movie comes out July 25th!
When Cory Lerios was told that his group's T-shirt, adorned with its iconic sun and palm tree logo, was being worn by Will Ferrell and prominently featured in a trailer for Step Brothers, he didn't know how to react.
Although Lerios had previously given Sony Studios permission to use the T-shirt, he had no idea how prominently it would be featured in the movie, which opens nationally July 25, after Ferrell reportedly picked it out from a wardrobe rack.
“We were amazed at how much Will was wearing it in the trailer,” said Cory, who formed the band in 1973 in San Francisco with guitarist/vocalist David Jenkins, drummer Steve Price and bassist Bud Cockrell. “When I started getting calls from people in the industry, friends and fans, saying you need to jump on this, I’m thinking jump on what?…”it’s just a shirt for God’s sake, but then again, it is like an ad for Pablo Cruise.” So, Dave and Cory decided to hunt down the exact jersey Will Farrell is wearing in the movie (it’s vintage Pablo Ware) and have a bunch made and at the very least spread ‘em around!
In fact, the first 30 legitimate members of the media who reply to this press release will receive a vintage Pablo Cruise T-shirt, like the one worn by Ferrell in the movie, which is sure to make you the envy of your friends.
The logo, which is a classic brand in itself, adorned the covers of the band’s 1977 breakthrough, platinum A&M album A Place in The Sun, as well as their ’78 Top 10 double platinum Worlds Away and the 1981 Reflector, showcasing the music’s carefree sun and fun vibe, equal parts the Beach Boys, Loggins & Messina and Jimmy Buffett. The group scored Top 10 singles with “Whatcha Gonna Do?” and “Love Will Find a Way,” and Top 20 hits with “I Want You Tonight” and “Cool Love” and “Don’t Want To Live Without It.”
The exposure couldn’t have come at a more perfect time, since original members, Cory Lerios (keyboards, vocals), David Jenkins (guitar, vocals) and Stephen Price (Drums) recently decided to get back together, play some shows and connect with their many, many fans once again, just for the fun of it!
“The reaction has been awesome,” says Jenkins. “We’ve been enjoying it so much, we have decided to continue. The old fans are turning out and now they’re bringing their kids with them and the kids are responding as if they’ve discovered their favorite new band.” Pablo has been playing fairs, casino’s and some selected smaller theaters and clubs and the “band is better than ever!” says Lerios. And, more importantly, “we’re having a great time.”
Both Lerios and Jenkins (Pablo’s songwriters) have stayed busy in the music world over their years away from the band. Lerios, for one, has stayed extremely busy for past 20 years as an Emmy Award-winning TV theme and score composer, working on such shows as Max Headroom, Days Of Our Lives, Disney’s Kim Possible and, for 12 years, one of the biggest shows ever to hit television, Baywatch. Jenkins scored a couple of #1 hits in the Country Music World with Southern Pacific (made up of members from the Doobie Bros. and Creedence Clearwater Revival) and he currently tours all over the U.S. with “Rock and Pop Masters,” when not Pabloizing!
The band’s “Love Will Find a Way,” was recently featured in one of CBS’s new, and much heralded, primetime shows, “Swingtown.” The pilot episode was entitled “Love will find a Way” as well. The band is currently in the works, planning their own reality based internet TV show entitled, “Pablo Cruise Tube.” to be filmed at Cory’s studio in Southern California.
“Pablo Cruise is still very vital,” says Dave. “We enjoy getting out there and playing. And if people are curious about us again because of the T-shirt, it’s a good thing and if their curiosity brings them out to see us live, they’ll be glad they did and….we’ll make ‘em a hell-of-a-deal on a shirt!”
“Having not been on the road for so many years, I didn’t really realize how much our music has meant to our fans,” adds Cory. “People literally come from across the country to see us, with vinyl records to sign and great stories about the first time they heard us. I think the fact that we haven’t been out playing for the last 20 years is working to our advantage and the music’s still feels fresh because we haven’t beaten it to death over the years,” says Lerios.
Rocky, the bear in the film, attacked and killed his trainer on Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred near Big Bear Lake mountain resort, east of Los Angeles, at Randy Miller's Predators in Action, a facility where wild animals are trained for television and film roles.
The 700-pound, 7 1/2-foot-tall grizzly reportedly bit trainer Stephan Miller, 39, on the neck. Two trainers at the facility subdued Rocky with pepper spray and were unharmed, but Miller died at the scene.
A neighbor said the victim's cousin came to their house and told them they had been filming an advertisement when the incident occurred. Rocky had previously been in the films Semi-Pro and The Last Samurai, among others.
"They were filming [the advertisement] and the bear started licking [Miller's] face and then all of a sudden it just bit him," the neighbor relayed. "[Miller's cousin] was just really upset and didn't know why it happened."
Paramedics arrived approximately 30 minutes after the attack, but they were unable to revive Miller.
Wardens of the California state Fish and Game Department examined the enclosed compound and the five-year-old bear, but spokesman Harry Morse said no permit violations or dangers to public safety were found.
The fate of the bear is still up in the air, though, as the incident occurred on a private site, outside of the jurisdiction of the California state Fish and Game Department. Kate McGuire, spokeswoman for the state Department of Industrial Relations, said the state occupational safety officials are also sending an investigator to see if they have jurisdiction.
Authorities have said that as long as there is no wrongdoing, the owners can decide whether to destroy or keep Rocky alive. The Sheriff's Department is conduction an investigation, but not a criminal probe, said spokeswoman Jodi Miller.
The bear is not known to have been involved in any other mishaps and Predators in Action, which first received a permit in 1992, also has a clean record. Two brown bears, a black bear, a lopard, a mountain lion, four African lions, four tigers, an alligator, a crocodile and other snakes and reptiles are currently at the facility.
Friends of Randy Miller called him an experienced, top-class trainer dedicated to safety and caring for his animals.
"He has a perfect safety record. He's always on the ball, making sure everything is extra safe," said Chemaine Almquist, founder of Forever Wild, an exotic animal center in Phelan, and a close personal friend of the victim. "He's always the one who says, 'You've got to do this, check the locks twice, you gotta wear pepper spray.' When I first found out, I was ready to throw up."
According to Denise Richards of Moonridge Zoo, a sanctuary for injured and homeless animals at Big Bear Lake, it's hard to determine why Rocky attacked.
"You can train them and use as many safety precautions as you can, but you're still taking a chance if you're putting yourself in contact with them," Richards said. "It's still a wild animal. Even though it may appear that the bear attacked for no reason, there was a reason. ... They're not cold-blooded killers."
Will Ferrell, Rocky's co-star in Semi-Pro, is shooting a film and unavailable for comment, his publicist said.
Sweeny Todd star, Johnny Depp rates number one for the third year in a row on Autograph magazine's annual list of Hollywood's top ten best and worst signers. Soft-spoken and laid-back, at 44, Depp makes an effort to chat with his fans and is listed as the most likely to give out his autograph.
The magazine ranked celebrities on data collected from California, New York, and Europe. Also making the list of gracious signers are Matt Damon, Jack Nicholoson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning, and Rusell Crowe. Apparently last year's list, where Crowe ranked among the worst, played a hand in improving the actor's relationship with his fans.
This years worst signers include: Will Ferrell, Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, William Shatner, Renee Zellweger, John Malkovich, Julie Andrews, Bruce Willis, Teri Hatcher and Scarlett Johansson. The article does note that those on the worst list do occasionally sign, and those on the best sometimes do not. Although we can all agree that the paparazzi can be a buzz kill, what is come down to is who has time for their fans.
