Did Will join a cult?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

When Will Ferrell rolled up to the premiere of his new film Semi-Pro donning this bizarre outfit, it caused quite a wave of confusion. Now, in the aftermath, everyone seems to be trying to come up with reasons why he would wear such a freaking weird ensemble.

I'm going to have to go with the theory that he borrowed the suit from Charles Barkley, who got sick of wearing turtlenecks and sleeveless suits in the mid 90s. It's all a big inside joke for Will, who is getting a kick out of trying to pull it off without breaking character.

This could be wishful thinking, but as long as Will's ensemble was meant to be a mockery of NBA off-the-court fashion, I can rest easy knowing that he's still the weird guy he's always been. If not, I'm going to have to believe that he's joined some kind of Scientology cult -- or worse. Look at the way those pants swallow up his shoes. Classic.

Clinically proven to smell like Will Ferrell

Filed under: Men, Fragrance, Skin Care, Celebrities with Style

The good people at Old Spice have struck advertising gold by bringing Will Ferrell onto the scene. In the guise of his latest character Jackie Moon, from the upcoming film Semi-Pro, Ferrell has created a handful (armpitful?) of short commercials hawking the new Old Spice Pro-Strength deodorant/ anti-perspirant/ skin conditioner, which is apparently proven, clinically mind you, to provide protection from odor and wetness. Yes, it makes me want to whistle, too.

I haven't tried the deodorant/ anti-perspirant/ skin conditioner, but I am slightly intrigued. I'm not a heavy sweater, not since I gave up exercise, but I've been known to shed a few drops of "sweat-gland deuce," (seriously, watch the videos) and I'm always looking for ways to avoid smelling like a turtle cage.

Apparently the product is to be applied at night during which time the pores are plugged for 24 hours, even after showering. While I applaud the brilliant use of "the best defense is a good offense" mentality (wait, did I get that backwards?), I'm a bit concerned about the idea of plugging my pores to block anything, even sweat. Where does it go? Will my armpits become bloated with sweat-retention? I don't know. I'm not a scientist.

Why don't you ask Jackie Moon?
