Will Ferrell Wins Joyce Award

It’s no secret that Will Ferrell is one of the funniest men alive.  And the folks over in Ireland were recently treated to an in-person dose of his deadpan humor when he was awarded the James Joyce Award from University College Dublin.

As he took the stage to accept the award, the “Old School” actor fell into his familiar comic zone.  He addressed the crowd of over 1,000 university students, “As I perused my leather-bound volumes of ‘Ulysses,’ ‘Finnegans Wake,’ ‘Dubliners,’ ‘Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,’ standing in my mahogany library, a lot of feelings ran across my mind. Like: ‘Damn, I should have read these books.’”

Walk Hard! Star Studded Dewey Cox Premiere

Ever since we started seeing the trailer for “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” we’ve been counting down the days until its release.  And after last night’s Hollywood premiere at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater, it’s only a matter of days.

As could be expected, Will Ferrell was in the house to support his “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” co-star John C. Reilly (who plays Dewey Cox).  He sported a ten gallon hat and an ensemble of western wear.

Boxing Brings Out the Stars

The Las Vegas boxing match on Saturday night brought out the stars, as some of the silver screen’s biggest hitters turned out in droves.

According to Hello!, “A proud Jennifer Lopez looked on as her husband Marc Anthony sang the American anthem while Jim Carrey and girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio and John Cusack took up their seats at the MGM Grand.”

Blades of Glory: On Thin Ice

Blades of Glory, the frequently promoted ice skating comedy comes to theatres Friday, March 30th.  The two comic geniuses, Will Ferrell and John Heder, star in this goofy premise involving competitive world class ice skaters.

The movie certainly has the right names, as it stars Will Ferrell (Old School, Talladega Nights) and John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Benchwarmers). While the premise is reasonable enough, the movie’s screenplay is certainly lacking.

Good Charlotte Headlines New Music Tuesday
