Will Ferrell Named 'Most Overpaid Celebrity' According To Forbes Magazine
Will Ferrell has topped a list of the Most Overpaid Stars. The 'Elf' actor and comedian topped the annual list by Forbes magazine, which calculated how much moviemakers earn per dollar paid to their lead actor.
After the last couple of funnyman Will's films - 'Semi-Pro' and 'Land of the Lost' - bombed at the box office, his rate of return has dropped to $3.29 for every dollar of Will's fee.
Just so you understand how LOW that really is - Shia LaBeouf was named as the Best Actor for the Buck in August, earning studios an average of $160 for every dollar he was paid.
HOLY SMOKES!
Behind Will on the Most Overpaid list was British actor Ewan McGregor, while Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson all made the top ten.
Full list here:
1. Will Ferrell
2. Ewan McGregor
3. Billy Bob Thornton
4. Eddie Murphy
5. Ice Cube
6. Tom Cruise
7. Drew Barrymore
8. Leonardo DiCaprio
9. Samuel L. Jackson
10. Jim Carrey
Any surprises here?
Celebs At Work
Christina Milian formally announced her pregnancy, and now here she is working her baby bump! She was a host for the Tabu Ultra Lounge last night. Christina looks radiant.
Meanwhile, Michael Douglas was spotted on the set of 'Wall Street 2.' I'm not sure if he was actually filming here or just arriving on set.
Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell were also spotted on the set of their film, 'The Other Guys.' I can't find any information on what it's about, but I'm guessing it's a comedy, since Will is in it :)

Will Ferrell And His Wife Are Expecting Their Third Son
Comedian Will Ferrell and his wife, Viveca Paulin, along with their sons Magnus (5) and Mattias (2) are preparing for the arrival of a third son. Viveca is due in January.
A source said: "They are thrilled and can’t wait to meet the latest addition to their family. Both boys are excited about being big brothers."
Will said neither of his sons inherited their father's sense of comedy, calling them both "deadly serious." I find that hard to believe!
As an experience parent, he also has advice for his celebrity friends.
When his 'Bewitched' co-star Nicole Kidman gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose last July, he jokingly advised her to talk to her newborn daughter "at least once a week".
He said: "For me, I would advise to talk to your children, at least once a week. 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."
Very true- LOL! Congratulations to the Ferrell family. There's no word on the name, but I'm guessing it will start with an "M" :)

Celebrities Attend Chelsea Vs. Inter Milan Game At Rose Ball
Fun! Fun! Fun! Several celebrities came out to watch a little soccer. Alyssa Milano, Charlize Theron, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Shue, and Gilles Marini were photographed during the event.
We all know how much Alyssa loves sports. If you follow her on Twitter, it's just about the only thing she talks about.
Surprising to see Charlize at the event... even speaking to the crowd. She's been so quiet as of late. Wonder if she has something coming up to promote.

Best. Casting. Ever.
I would buy tickets today to see the new Sherlock Holmes now that I found out Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen have been cast as the fictional detectives. It's already funny and it hasn't even been shot yet!
Ali G funnyman Cohen will play the pipe-smoking sleuth, with Ferrell as his partner Watson in the as-yet-untitled film. Matt Tolmach, co-president of production for Columbia Pictures, tells
Variety.com,
"Just the idea of Sacha and Will as Sherlock Holmes and
Watson makes us laugh. Sacha and Will are two of the funniest and most talented guys on the
planet, and having them take on these two iconic characters is frankly
hilarious."
In other news, have you seen the trailer for Farrell's new movie, Stepbrother? I caught the R rated one at the movies this weekend and it was hilarious. The one I posted above is the friendlier version just to keep it clean for work and kids. If you aren't around any of them, click on the continue reading link below to see the other.
Will Ferrell Filming "Land of the Lost"
Funny man Will Ferrell was photographed while filming "Land of the Lost". His new movie about being lost in the land of dinosaurs with his two children. I can. not. wait for this movie to come out. The original came out in 1974 and I hope they manage to make this one just as good. Anna Friel from "Pushing Daisies" will also be in it. :) Anyone else excited?
