In January 2009, Will Ferrell will make his Broadway debut in a solo show called You're Welcome America. A Final Night with George W. Bush.

The Saturday Night Live alum's show on the Great White Way will be autobiographical and include anecdotes about his work on SNL.

The funny man will supposedly also offer up some of his SNL impersonations as well.

As y'all know, in addition to doing a mean W, he can also rock as Neil Diamond!

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Chris Rock and Will Ferrell dug deep and paid the $28.5K to attend the Barbara Streisand-led fundraiser for Barack Obama in LA on Tuesday.

According to a new report, Obama opened up and shared his feeling about the 'concerns' people have had about the closeness of the race to the White House:

“A lot of you, just in conversations while we were in the photo lines, had all sorts of suggestions… And a lot of people have gotten nervous and concerned. Why is this as close as it is? And what’s going on?” The Illinois senator said that the race was always going to be a hard-fought contest because he represented a “leap” for voters, especially when running against John McCain, a “genuine hero” with a “compelling biography.” Obama said that there was “enormous resistance … because people have been fed cynicism for a long time” but he said that he remained “confident about winning because I’ve looked at John McCain, I’ve looked at Sarah Palin, I’ve looked at their agenda, and they don’t have one.”

Barack is so diplomatic!

Nicole Kidman!

That is according to the business journalists at Forbes.

The mag's analysis found that Nic's movies only made $1.00 for each dollar she was paid.

Ouch!

Here's the rest of the Overpaid Actor list.

No surprise - Kidman's ex-husband, Tom Cruise, is on the list, too.

As we've mentioned before, Guy Ritchie is set to direct Warner Brothers' new Sherlock Holmes flick.

Well, it was just announced that Guy and team have landed one of the biggest stars in Hollywood at the moment for the title role — Robert Downey, Jr.

Way to go, Guy!

Industry rag Variety says Downey committed to the pic, which begins shooting in October, after Ritchie turned in a polish of the latest version of the script.

Like Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes will reportedly take advantage of his physical skills.

Downey's Sherlock will be rough and tumble AND super smart.

Variety also mentions that the Ritchie-helmed Sherlock will go into production before a rival studio's Sherlock Holmes comedy, starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell.

Oohhh. A battle of the Sherlocks is upon us!

We'll probably see both!

Guy Ritchie is gonna be pissed.

Turns out he's not the only one working on a Sherlock Holmes movie!

According to a new report, Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell have signed on to do a Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, 40-year old Virgin) backed Sherlock Holmes movie.

Cohen will play the role of Sherlock and Ferrell will grace the screen as Watson.

We're looking forward to seeing the Talladega Nights co-stars together again!

With those 3 comedic minds working together we're expecting to see lots of funny.

What do U think?

How sad.

Stephan Miller, a 39 year old animal trainer from Big Bear Lake, CA, was attacked by a grizzly bear on Tuesday at the Predators in Action wild animal training center.

Two other handlers were working with the 5 year-old bear, named Rocky, when it attacked. The other two were able to pepper spray and subdue Rocky.

Luckily, there were no other injuries.

You've probably seen Rocky before. It's the same grizzly bear featured in Will Ferrell's film Semi-Pro, in which Ferrell appears to wrestle with the bear.

What could have gone so wrong???

Officials arrived to investigate the incident and Fish and Game spokesman, Harry Morse, said yesterday that his department would not decide whether Rocky would be euthanized since the attack occurred outside its jurisdiction.

It may be up to the San Bernandino county animal care officials to decide Rocky's fate.

Poor thing. He didn't asked to be locked up and trained like pet. He's a wild animal, after all. You can't really ever predict what they're going to go.

Just ask Siegfried and Roy!

Eerily enough, Randy Miller, the owner of the training location and cousin of the attacked trainer, was quoted in the local newspaper in February as saying Rocky is "the best working bear in the business." But continued by stating, "If one of these animals gets a hold of your throat, you're finished."

What will happen to poor Rocky???

Should they kill him?

We're not sure what "look" Will Ferrell was going for at the premiere of his new film, Semi-Pro. We think he was ________.
