Will Ferrell Earns Much More Money Than He Should: Official
This is just a hunch, but we're expecting Will Ferrell to be named as People's sexiest man alive next year. Because, seriously, that man is loaded. He gets paid so much money. Too much money, in fact. And he doesn't deserve a bloody penny of it. That's according to Forbes, at least - Will Ferrell has come out on top of a list 0f Hollywood's most overpaid stars. The list claims that Will Ferrell only earns his investors a return of $3.29 for every dollar he's paid. Why such a poor figure? Well, it's partly because Land Of The Lost flopped, partly because comedy is notoriously difficult to sell around the world and partly because Will Ferrell has cold dead eyes and a rapist's haircut. Possibly.

Visit The Land Of The Lost!
Will Ferrell is back for more. The master of stupidity returns to play misguided scientist Rick Marshall in a bid to break the laws of space and time. Rick claims to have discovered time travel with his Tachyon Amplifier, only to be ridiculed by scientists, the media and everyone who isn't dog-barking mad. The amplifier works, transporting Marshall, his sexy research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and redneck buddy Will (Danny McBride) to a post apocalyptic world of aliens, dinosaurs and freaks.

Up Beats Off Will Ferrell At The Weekend Box Office
In these days of giant fighting space robots, it's rare for a movie to top the weekend box office for more than a week. But Up's done it. Pixar's heartwarming tale of a little old man who becomes so insane with indescribable grief that he literally has to leave the face of the Earth has remained number one at the US weekend box office. See Dreamworks? This is how you sell a cartoon. Now make sure that Kung Fu Panda 2 ends with the panda developing a harrowing alcohol dependency, and be quick about it. There's money to be made!

Semi-Pro Scrapes Weekend Box Office Win
By now you all probably know about new Will Ferrell movie Semi-Pro thanks to all the talk show appearances, semi-ironic product advertising and constant TV trailers.
Thing is, though, it seems you know so much about Semi-Pro from all of this that none of you bothered to actually go and see the thing.
Although Semi-Pro is the US weekend box office number one, it only managed to scrape together a meagre $15,200,000 - roughly a tenth that Spider-Man 3 made in the same amount of time. Does Semi-Pro's relative failure mean that the public is getting sick of Will Ferrell sports comedies? Well, yes. Plainly it does. Can't you people read?
