The two roughed it in Swedish backcountry for 48 hours, had some laughs, learned some survival tips, and made it out just fine. Oh yeah. They also drank their own urine and chomped down on some reindeer eyeballs. Speaking to Us Weekly, Ferrell said that appearing on the Discovery channel show was a blast, though he wishes he hadn't gotten "urine-drunk": To be able to participate in an episode of Man vs. Wild was ...

Forbes Magazine just came out with its annual list of the most overpaid stars in Hollywood, which it generates via a somewhat complicated metric that looks at their last three films and compares their paychecks, the films' budgets, and the money those films brought in via theatrical, TV, and DVD release. The list isn't a snotty, opinion-laden "Why does Keanu Reeves still get paid to make movies?" dig at actors who stink up the screen; it's a...
