Will Ferrell
Gossip (Page 2)

One stars in movies about anchormen and race car drivers. The other rocks out on the drums. Therefore, you'd think Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers band member, Chad Smith, would be easy to tell apart.

Not always. The facial similarities are striking. Smith even admits he's often mistaken for Ferrell and plays along with the fans, quoting movies such as Wedding Crashers.

Well, we're not sure where the meatloaf is either, but we are sure these two gentlemen resemble one another:

Gentlemen, start your responding!

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly recently sat down with People magazine and discussed their new movie, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Among other thing.

Q: Did you two hang out together before making Talladega Nights?

REILLY: We knew each other but did not like each other.

FERRELL: We kept seeing each other in public. People would go, "You know who that guy is?" I would go, "Yeah, I know who he is. I do not like him."

FERRELL: Actually, we met through Molly Shannon, at a brunch.

Q: John, did you give Will NASCAR wisdom gained from acting in the Tom Cruise movie Days of Thunder?

REILLY: Yes. I gave him a copy of the movie and said, "Avoid all performances in this as a guidepost, and you're gonna be in good shape."

FERRELL: People think I'm basing my character on Nicole Kidman's in Days of Thunder. Which is a lie.

Q: You've both appeared in musicals. If you were both finalists on American Idol, who would win?

FERRELL: It's all about song choice. Because on an experience and technical level, John would be a little bit ahead of me. I might come at him with a little Jesus Christ Superstar.

REILLY: I might come with Styx: "Too Much Time on My Hands." A Chicago band.

FERRELL: And speaking of Chicago, I might come with (singing in falsetto), "If you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me."

BOTH: (singing) "Oooh no, baby, please don't go."

Q: Who helped shape your hayseed personalities for the film?

REILLY: I prefer to think of them as southern gentlemen. We had a dialect coach at the beginning, but she quickly realized we would not be good students and fled the set.

Q: In the movie, Ricky Bobby's motto is "If you ain't first, you're last." What's yours?

FERRELL: I live by "Earnin' and burnin'." Meaning, I like to make money and spend it before I even have it. That's the way I live my life.

REILLY: "If you got it, flaunt it. Even if you don't got it, still flaunt it."

Sadly, we don't have a picture of Will Farrell kissing another man. But we do have the account of such action from the very man who was smooched.

"Within two minutes Will Ferrell has his tongue stuck halfway down my throat," says "Da Ali G Show" star Sacha Baron Cohen about his first day of shooting for Talladega Nights.

What, exactly, would Ferrell's pregnant wife say about that?

The film, which stars Cohen as a gay French race car driver, has many scenes of improvisation. But what about when the cameras weren't rolling?

Cohen joked (or did he?) that Ferrell's come-ons didn't end on set:

"Later on that night I get a knock on the door, I hear the words 'Room service,' open it up, it's Will Ferrell, stinking of booze, only with his underpants on."

That's just awkward. A a bit alluring.

Sacha, whose fianceé is Wedding Crashers actress Isla Fisher, says his first same-sex lip-lock took place during the filming of this movie and that he prefers Andy Richter's lips to those of Ferrell.

"If you close your eyes you can imagine that he's a woman 'cause he's got quite a good chest on him and not much down below," says Cohen of Richter.

Low blow. Literally. Cohen may wish to confer with Ron Jeremy about what actually constitutes a female.

Will Ferrell can be silly. We've tried to show that through a couple pictures of the comedian, but now it's time to be serious ... and congratulatory!

On The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, Ferrell announced that he and his wife, Viveca, are expecting their second child. The new baby will join son Magnus, 2.

Know what this means, right? Frank the Tank finally got some!

Before, we went Old School with Will Ferrell. Now? It's all about Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The actor got down with his silly self at the premiere in L.A. over the weekend.

Folks, we're going Old School with this classic celebrity picture. Enough of sexy singing beauties such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - let's give the guys a chance!

As chants of Frank the Tank reign down, we're giddy (and a bit wasted) to present the following Will Ferrell image:
