Normally, when a celebrity joins Zach Galifianakis on “Between Two Ferns,” the passive-aggressive host sprinkles enough seeds of discomfort and resentment that ultimately, a confrontation blooms. But Will Ferrell is different. The comic movie-star, dressed like your Minnesota uncle during his one trip to Malibu, had Galifianakis eating out of his hand — and his mouth, for that matter. In the end, it was Ferrell who’d had enough of the conversation. Take a look after the jump.

Zach Galifianakis rips January Jones: 'Everybody's going to forget about you in a few years'

On “Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis,” guests can expect to be treated rudely by the insecure host. But there doesn’t seem to be anything inspired or playful about Galifianakis’ recent remarks about Mad Men beauty January Jones. After a writer from ShortList.com mentioned that Jones had named the Hangover star as the “most naturally funny person she’d ever met,” Galifianakis basically scoffed. “If I remember correctly, she and I were very rude to each other,” he said. “It was crazy. I was at a party — I’d never met her — and she was like, ‘Come sit down.’ So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, ‘I think it’s time for you to leave now.’ So I say, ‘January, you are an actress in a show and everybody’s going to forget about you in a few years, so f—ing be nice,’ and I got up and left. And she thinks that’s funny?” READ FULL STORY »

Donald Trump won't run for president. But why?

Donald Trump announced yesterday that he would not seek the presidency, and today, the new question is, Why? Why did the real-estate titan and reality-TV star take his name out of the running for the Republican nomination? According to Anthony Baxter, he’s responsible for spoiling Trump’s potential campaign. The filmmaker, whose You’ve Been Trumped yet-unsold documentary chronicles a Scottish seaside resort’s fight against Trump’s planned golf course, told the Hollywood Reporter, “I do think Mr. Trump realized he would be under severe scrutiny if he actually ran for president, and our film had become part of that dialogue.” READ FULL STORY »

Zach Galifianakis drops in on 'Conan' (literally) and calls Donald Trump 'the bully of the world'
Now this is how you make an entrance, people. During Monday night’s Conan, Zach Galifianakis — one of the trio of handsome Hangover Part II men gracing our cover this week — decided to take the whole “dropping in” to a talk show thing to the next level.
After Conan O’Brien announced Galifianakis, there was a brief pause before the funny man descended — well, more like plummeted — to the set like a bearded angel. Major props to Galifianakis for committing to the bit (from the looks of it, that was no stunt man) with both the initial fall and the stumble afterward. “I got confused how to enter,” Galifianakis told Coco when he finally planted himself at his guest chair.

This Week's Cover: The stars of 'The Hangover Part II' share wild tales from the set
Having delivered the craziest morning-after in cinematic history with 2009′s The Hangover, the team behind the Hangover Part II knew they needed to up the ante for the sequel. But how do you top the mayhem of a rampaging Mike Tyson, a live tiger, Tasers, roofies, and general Las Vegas debauchery? Apparently you go to Bangkok.
In this week’s cover story, Wolfpack members Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Ed Helms and director Todd Phillips gather for a raucous roundtable to talk about how they raised the insanity quotient in the highly anticipated sequel (out May 26). It all started with a script so wild and raunchy — complete with international crime, sexual depravity, a severed finger, and a drug-dealing monkey — that Galifianakis says even he was shocked the first time he read it: “I remember thumbing through it, going, ‘Oh God. Oh God.’” READ FULL STORY »

A naked Zach Galifianakis shares a tub with adorable baby ducks
Quick! What is Zach Galifianakis’ best animal sidekick? It’s a tough question to answer, especially after seeing The Hangover Part II star relaxing nude surrounded by real bathtub duckies in the upcoming issue of GQ. (Cute, but unfortunately not quite as sexy as his Vanity Fair swimsuit shot.) Put aside those feelings of unease thinking about the fact that the actor is floating in a vat of duck waste, and vote: Which animal is the one-man wolf pack’s best sidekick? READ FULL STORY »

Zach Galifianakis' 'SNL' promos: 'Got your nose!'
Image Credit: NBCThe first few promos for comedian Zach Galifianakis’ hosting turn on Saturday Night Live this weekend are filled with funny sight gags and Samberg snark. But the fourth promo is sheer genius. Suffice it to say, a silly game of “Got Your Nose!” goes incredibly, incredibly wrong. That Galifianakis is some kind of something. Boy, this Galifianakis is all anybody’s ever talking about. So sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Galifianakis is! Check out the video after the jump… READ FULL STORY »

Jennifer Aniston goes 'Between Two Ferns' with Zach Galifianakis... and Tila Tequila
Kudos to Zach Galifianakis for keeping Between Two Ferns fresh. He greets Jennifer Aniston on the latest installment of the web series — as his second guest (Jennifer Anderson, according to the graphic). She comes on after Tila Tequila, who sticks around because Galifianakis is more interested in talking with her. Maybe it’s a sly joke on Aniston’s up-and-down movie career that never seems to dim her star status, or maybe it was just the nicest way not to mention The Bounty Hunter. Regardless, it’s funny. Watch it below. The funny thing is: Tequila is as good as Aniston is in this. READ FULL STORY »
