"will ferrell" news and stories

America's favorite "Anchorman" has followed in the charitable footsteps of Snoop Doog (Snoop's Youth Football League), Jennifer Hudson (Boys & Girls Clubs of America), and several other celebs in joining with 7-Eleven to design a "Cup With a Cause." From today through January 3, when you grab some 7-Eleven joe in a cup featuring the snowman Will Ferrell created, you help support Ferrell's charity of choice, Cancer for College. 7-Eleven has guaranteed that at least a quarter-million dollars will go to Cancer for College (which provides scholarships for cancer survivors), and even more may be donated if the snowman cup gets hot.

Who knew Will Ferrell could not only skate ("Blades of Glory") but he's pretty savvy with a crayon? "Yes," Ferrell said. "I drew the snowman myself."

Yes, you read that title correctly. In case you were blissfully unaware like I was, Just Born, the makers of Marshmallow Peeps, hold a 'Celebrity Survey' every year. Apparently they conduct this survey "to keep up with today's trends and cultures." Maybe it's just me, but I can't recall ever seeing anything other than various shapes and colors of Peeps emerging from their factories depending on the season. If their products have ever actually reflected trends and cultures, it is news to me.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the little marshmallow treats as much as the next person - but there are limits. Though I'm fairly certain this one can simply be filed under "for those that have way too much time on their hands," in the spirit of Easter (or maybe just because it is Friday) I'll let you in on the results after the jump. I apologize in advance.
