Will Ferrell & His Son Cheer On The Los Angeles Lakers, Even In Defeat!

It’s been a rough year for the Purple and Gold, but these fans aren’t giving up!

Will Ferrell was all dressed up to support the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, as they faced Jason Collins and the Brooklyn Nets.

Unfortunately for them, the Lake Show needed a little more support to pull off a win, and we think we know why. Will’s youngest son Axel wasn’t wearing any of their colors!

Since he’s only four years old, maybe Axel is still trying to figure out where his allegiances lie. Is he going to be a Lakers fan like his poppa, or is he going to take his talents elsewhere?!

We’ll just have to wait and see, but in the meantime, we love seeing these two getting to spend some quality time together!

Will Ferrell Gets Graceful On The Tonight Show By Doing A Beautiful "Figure Skating" Performance To The Downton Abbey Theme!

2/21/2014 12:27 PM ET | Filed under: Inspiration • Will Ferrell • Jimmy Fallon • Olympics • Dance • Figure Skating

Snubbed again by the Olympic Figure Skating U.S. Team, Will Ferrell wasn't about to let the moment pass to show the world the routine he'd been working on — because he'll be 50 in 2018, and probably won't have a shot when it comes around.

LOLz!

So, he went on The Tonight Show (like a bunch of other celebs this week!) and debuted his performance to Jimmy Fallon!

The theme? DOWNTON ABBEY.

You gotta check it out (above)! It's flawless, just like his 'butler costume' — just don't mistake him for a real butler from the show, because he's never actually seen it!

Ha!

P.S. We see his Blades of Glory training has really proven to get him far in life!

The couple that works out together….hopefully stays together!

Of course the beautiful and talented and royally flawless Britney Spears would know to stay hydrated after a workout!

We bet she pounded that bottle!

She's taking this Vegas residency super seriously — we didn't think otherwise — as she was seen leaving after breaking a sweat at a dance studio in Santa Monica, wearing a "Spartan Spirit" tee, featuring Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri's famous SNL cheerleader characters.

And yes, her 32-year-old boyfriend, David Lucado, was right there by her side!

They gotta stay in shape if they're gonna be parents…of a new puppy! Ha!

Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy HIGHlariously Interviews Peyton Manning For ESPN! Watch HERE!

12/05/2013 4:57 PM ET | Filed under: TV News • Wacky, Tacky & True • Silly! • Zportz • Will Ferrell

We've already spoken at length about how much Will Ferrell's character Ron Burgundy has been doing in the world lately (HERE) for the upcoming Anchorman 2, so let's just focus on the fact that this video (above) is one of the better appearances that he's made!

Denver Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning fields all of the ridiculous questions thrown at him, and is a champ for playing along too while Ron blasts him for not having any facial hair!

The best part of this is that it's just a clip — there will be a FULL episode of SportsCenter hosted by Ferrell as Burgundy and his co-star David Koechner as Champ Kind tonight! If this is any indication, it looks like sports talk is about to get the shot in the arm it totally needs!

LOLz!

Check out the clip of the amazeballz interview! You won't be disappointed!!

***UPDATE!!!***

It sounds like Ron and Champ WON'T be hosting tonight after all, and for a very serious reason!

Apparently the Jameis Winston case will be featured — and a press conference today will be announcing whether charges will be filed against him for the rape allegations he was hit with a year ago (which we just spoke about HERE).

Can't really have Ron Burgundy joking around with a topic like that, can they?

Hopefully they'll find a different day!

P.S. — This isn't the only real-life show Will's anchored! See his local news report HERE!

Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy Gets His Own Scotch And Everything Is Perfect — Introducing Great Odin's Raven!

That's right, Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy sure is getting around in promotion for his upcoming sequel Anchorman 2 — so much so that he's been co-hosting curling competitions, selling Dodge cars, ice cream, and even hosting local TV news shows!

None of that compares to this, though: HE NOW HAS HIS OWN SCOTCH.

That's right, his favorite drink now has a little bit of Ron Burgundy in it, and it's called Great Odin's Raven! If you've ever wanted the definition of perfection, this is as close as we're gonna get!

And nothing but the best for San Diego's (German word for "Whale's Vagina) best man! The drink is a blend of grain and malt Scotch whiskies and is presented in a glass ~~case of emotion~~ bottle that features the silhouette of a black raven, along with the words "Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch" with the initials "RB" printed in gold.

AAh, nothing BUT the best!

Flawless! We can't wait to have it go down down down, down into our bellies!

Ha!

Look for it to coincide with the movie's release later this month! Check it the ad for the drink (below)!
