According to Forbes, citing the stinker Land of the Lost, Will Ferrell movies earned an average of $3.29 for every dollar he was paid. Compare that with Michael Cera who made the magazine's "Hollywood's 10 Best Actors For The Buck" list whose movies earn $102 for each dollar he's paid.

The only actress on the list this year is, no surprise Drew Barrymore. And yes, Tom Cruise is number six and Jim Carrey is number ten.

Vivid Entertainment has acquired the solo sex tape Carrie Prejean made for a boyfriend, and hopes to distribute it commercially. The porn company has offered the former Miss California $1 million for the rights to release the film, but despite her refusal, there seems to be some concern the footage will hit the market just the same. Prejean's lawyer has sent a letter warning Vivid that they will be sued if they release the tape. Excerpt from XBiz.com:

"[W]e are writing at this time to inform you that the unauthorized use of any videotapes or photographs of my client will result in her suing for invasion of privacy, including misappropriation of her likeness for a commercial purpose, as well as public disclosure of private facts," Prejean's attorney wrote to Vivid co-chairman Steve Hirsch. "She will also sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress and seek full consequential and punitive damages."

It's odd to agree with the bigoted beauty queen about anything, but we are totally with her on this one. Releasing the tape would be a disgusting violation of privacy.

The IRS has filed a Federal Tax Lien against 'Girls Gone Wild' creator Joe Francis for nearly $34 million. From TMZ.com:

It was less than 2 weeks ago that Joe got out of a sticky federal tax evasion case by copping a plea and avoiding prison.

Joe told TMZ, "I have no idea what it is." He says he does not owe the money and, "This is total retaliation for me beating them in court." Joe says the law the IRS is using hasn't been used against anyone in 20 years.

Joe says yesterday, the feds seized more than $100,000,000 in cash accounts of his.

Joe says the IRS is forcing him to file for personal bankruptcy, which he will do tomorrow.

This is David Letterman being brilliant. He seems to be miffed the word "douche" was on the front page of the New York Times and hilarity ensues.

Oh, "douche" you're just the gift that keeps on giving.

Comedian Ken Ober was found dead yesterday after complaining to friends he had a headache and flu like symptoms.

Rest in peace.

RadarOnline.com is reporting that 7 more sex tapes and 30 nude photos of Carrie Prejean have surfaced. They don't provide any glimpse of the scandalous images, nor do they explain where they got the information. RadarOnline says the sex tapes are "solo performances", and most of the nudie pics were taken in front of a mirror. Well, good for her. Self-love is the safest sex.

What makes us uneasy is the public shaming Prejean has recieved since the first sex tape was uncovered. Prejean has a lot to be ashamed of, sure - she's a bigot and a liar and an unprofessional beauty queen. But masturbating in front of a camera? That's the one thing she's done we can fully support.

World-famous comedian Katt Williams has been arrested in Georgia on trespassing and burglary charges. We have a hard time believing the millionaire performer stole the $3,500 worth of jewelry and coins reported missing. Clearly there's more to the story - but reports by CNN, the Associated Press and Associated Content simply quote the Coweta County Sheriff's department and the arrest report. TMZ is the only news outlet we can find that bothered to speak to someone in Willams' camp:

Katt Williams was not burglarizing anyone and his arrest for same is totally bogus -- according to Katt's lawyer

William Briggs told TMZ Katt was in Georgia shooting a movie, staying at the property of a friend and the movie's producer, Barry Hankerson.

Briggs says the reason his client was busted is because he was involved in a dispute with one of Barry's employees who lives in the guesthouse. The vengeful employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary, Briggs says. Briggs adds Katt had "full permission" to be on the property and has been staying there for the last 3 weeks.

Adult superstar Janine Lindemulder is out of federal custody and is fighting for parental custody of her 5-year-old daughter Sunny. Lindemulder's ex-husband Jesse James and his wife, actress Sandra Bullock, were granted temporary custody of the child earlier this year when Lindemulder entered prison for tax evasion. The couple now hopes to gain full custody of the child. From ABC News:

"What would give her the right to take away my daughter?" Lindemulder said. "You know, this is my daughter. I am the best mother I can be."

Lindemulder, who has appeared in more than 100 adult films, acknowledged making "horrific choices in the past" but says her life is back on track and that she deserves to keep custody of her daughter.

Bullock and James have called Lindemulder and her new husband, also a convicted felon, unfit.

In a letter to the judge at Lindemulder's sentencing, Bullock raised concerns about the girl's safety, alleging that the child was left alone during the day while Lindemulder was "asleep from drug use."

Interestingly, the article also quotes Lindemulder as saying she is no longer allowed to work in the Adult Industry. Is this a condition of her parole, and if so, how can it be legal? Certainly the courts would never bar a famous mainstream actress from working in Hollywood. We're hoping to learn more.

This was just on Reddit. It's a clip from Inside the Actor's Studio from, we think 2000. James Lipton prompts Kevin Spacey to do a bunch of impersonations including Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Christopher Walken, Clint Eastwood and Jack Lemmon.
