SACHA BARON COHEN AS SHERLOCK HOLMES: IT'S ELEMENTARY
Filed Under: Sacha Baron Cohen > Sherlock Holmes > Will Ferrell
If they were still alive, Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, who played the original Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, might be surprised and delighted at the actors selected to reprise those roles today. “Knocked Up “ producer Judd Apatow has cast Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) as Holmes, and Will Ferrell as Dr Watson in his new comedy. The pair met when they costarred in “Talladega Nights.” We predict Sacha will be delicious as the showy detective who was a master of disguise and deductive reasoning, as well as an occasional coke-head. And if Will can muster up an English accent he should be fun as the fussy, protective, right hand man Watson.

WHO WILL BE STANDING IN LINE TO SEE WILL FERRELL'S SEMI-PRO THIS WEEKEND?
Filed Under: Semi-Pro > Will Ferrell
Will we be the only people NOT rushing out to see Will Ferrell’s new comedy Semi-Pro when it opens this weekend? We’ve been bombarded with publicity for this sports comedy and have to admit some of Will’s 70’s outfits ARE amusing. (That’s him above with Heidi Klum in a Farrah hair-do) But the ad campaign is such a turn-off, it just makes us want to run the other way. Does anybody else feel like this or do you predict the movie will be a big hit?

Happy New Year

2007 seems to off to a good start with Will Ferrell and his wife taking home a baby boy, Swchartzenegger out of the hospital, and generous Oprah opening an academy for girls in South Africa. It can’t all be Paris falling down the stairs, right?

Just Dad
Filed Under: What do you think of that > Will Ferrell
Here’s some insight into Will Ferrell from 2004: He may be a bigshot in Hollywood but on weekends he’s just a dad. Will’s wife Viv is an auctioneer and recently she presided over the ultracool LA Modern Auction in Santa Monica. Sitting among the hipsters and serious vintage collectors bidding on Eames and Panton furniture was Will – with his four month old baby Magnus on his lap. The Blades of Glory star wasn’t there to buy – he was just happily watching his wife work. And halfway through the event Will had to take a break in the parking lot to change Magnus’s diaper. Looks like a metrosexual to us.
