By the beard of Zeus! Ron Burgundy's got himself a nemesis.

James Marsden will give the legendary anchor a run for his money as he's signed on to bring antagonism to "Anchorman: The Legend Continues," according to Deadline.

The "X-Men" star will be playing a rival anchor who no doubt will inspire Burgundy and his Action News Team posse to come up with all sorts of colorful ways with which to describe and insult him. Marsden joins a cast that includes Kristen Wiig and returning players Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Steve Carell and Christina Applegate.

A handwritten sign posted on the door of the warehouse facility offers up the reward.

Adam McKay has leaked some juicy info on the highly-anticipated sequel to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. For one, there's going to be musical numbers.

It seemed for a while that Anchorman 2 would never happen after Paramount shot down the project and director Adam McKay went on to do other projects with star Will Ferrell. Out of nowhere, however, the film was greenlit and a teaser was produced.

McKay told Indiewire, "We were going to do 'Anchorman 2' as a Broadway musical first, for like six months and then go shoot the movie."

Christina Applegate has opened up about the emotional double mastectomy she underwent in 2008 after learning she was at a high risk of things getting much worse.

The Up All Night star was interviewed in the November issue of More magazine and she says that the news of her aggressive decision to prevent a recurrence of the disease leaked so quickly that she didn't have a chance for it to really set in right away.

"The good thing is that we got the information out," she says. "But talking about the facts of the disease, I didn't have to see what was going on with me."

David Koechner made us cry laughing as bullish sportscaster Champ Kind in Anchorman - which makes him the perfect choice to be the spokesperson for the new Bud Light Fantasy Football League.

With the football season having started yesterday, NFL fans can now join the Bud Light League at BudLight.com/FFL, redeeming the codes found on their Budweiser products to draft their team.

Ever since the first teaser for "Anchorman 2" dropped like a comedy A-bomb on the world two weeks ago, fans have been asking one question: Whither Veronica Corningstone? Okay, so most of them weren't using the word "whither," but still, while it was great to see Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner in their polyester suits again, the absence of Christina Applegate was glaring.

Well, good news: According to Celebuzz, Applegate's representatives have confirmed that she will indeed be returning as the number one woman in broadcast news, Veronica Corningstone.

The Channel 4 news team is back! Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Champ Kind (David Koechner), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) have set the stage for the 2013 return of Anchorman in a pair of funny teaser trailers.

No word on if Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) will return, as she's nowhere to be seen. In fact, no footage from the film is in the trailers - just some hilarious dialogue as part of the film's announcement.

While the first teaser is being aired before The Dictator, a second has already hit the web with alternate lines - we wouldn't be surpr...

Kim Kardashian's 'Figures': Kris Humphries reportedly turned down Kim's divorce settlement, and instead prepared for a long divorce case, complete with the outing of Kim's financial numbers from when the pair were together.

Verdict: True. Perhaps because the NBA player felt so wronged by the 72-day marriage, Humphries has decided he is either going to get a pay day (reported to be around $7 million) or...

Not only is she gorgeous, hilarious and down to Earth - Christina Applegate looks damn good for turning the big 40 today! Best known for playing Kelly Bundy, the dumb blonde, on the FOX sitcom Married...with Children, Christina has surpassed any stereotype she may have earned from that role and turned her career into a very successful one. Growing up in Hollywood with a producer father and an actress mother definitely helped out her career but Christina made a name for herself, independent from her parents.

Will Ferrell will be content if his Anchorman sequel never takes shape - because fans caused such an "outcry" after learning studio bosses weren't willing to finance a follow-up.

The comic cemented his big screen career when he introduced his dim-witted newsreader to film fans in 2004. He was eager to shoot a sequel but after a successful pitch from Ferrell and his cast to bosses at Paramount, executives went cold on the idea of a second movie.

And Ferrell insists he doesn't harbour any ill feelings over the snub - because he's proud fans protested against the decision on internet film fo...

Rapper Kanye West has offered another apology to Taylor Swift for ruining her acceptance speech at last year's MTV Video Music Awards - he's written a song especially for her.

The hip-hop star shocked the audience at the 2009 ceremony when he jumped on the stage in protest at Swift's win for Best Female Video - insisting the prize belonged to Beyonce for her hit, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).

West, who is reportedly planning to make his comeback with a performance at the 2010 awards show on 12 September, apologised to Swift following the embarrassing incident.

Will Ferrell has urged fans to put pressure on executives at film studio Paramount to agree to an Anchorman sequel after plans were axed due to mounting costs.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy - starring Ferrell as a dim-witted newsreader - was a cult hit among moviegoers on its release in 2004 and director Adam McKay wants to bring the comedy back for a follow-up.

Chiefs at Paramount have so far rejected director McKay's plans due to financial issues, and now Ferrell is calling on fans of the film to write to the studio to show their support for a sequel.

He says, "We want to make ...

Comedian Steve Carell is urging movie studio bosses to reconsider making a sequel to Anchorman because he's convinced a second installment will be as good as the original.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, starring Will Ferrell in the title role, was a hit when it was released in 2004, raking in $90 million in revenue on a relatively small budget of $26 million. Plans for Anchorman 2 were subsequently announced but the idea was shelved by Paramount executives after they rejected director Adam McKay's $60 million request for funds.

However, Carell, who co-starred in the comedy with ...

Ben Stiller has sparked rumors his Zoolander sequel is set to be shelved - after hinting film studio bosses are refusing to finance the follow-up.

Stiller, who starred in and directed the hit 2001 movie, recently announced plans to bring the comedy back to the big screen for a second installment, eyeing a 2012 release.

But now the actor has suggested the film, in which he plays title character Derek Zoolander, is struggling to secure financing from executives at Paramount.

The news comes just days after director Adam McKay revealed that plans to revive Will Ferrell's 2004 film Anchorm...

Anchorman director Adam Mckay has blamed financial constraints for stalling work on a sequel - even though the lead actors offered to slash their fee for the follow-up.

Rumors of an Anchorman 2 have been rife in recent months, with Will Ferrell confirming talks had begun to resurrect his comedy newsreader character Ron Burgundy in a sequel to his hit 2004 movie.

Ferrell disappointed fans last month by revealing the plans had been shelved because the other actors, including Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Christina Applegate, are too busy to commit to the film.

Director McKay reveals there...

Steve Carell was in Europe to promote his new movie Date Night, and he was asked to do the weather forecast - much like his previous character Brick from Anchorman.

After stating that the Iberian Peninsula was North America, Carell joked that the ice warnings were especially dangerous because they were triangles. He then mispronounced Aberystwyth (who can blame him) while showing the partly cloudy forecast for the UK.

Unfortunately, with Will Ferrell turning down Anchorman 2, this could be the closest we get to seeing Brick again. Date Night is released April 9.

Steve Carell never plans his next career move - because he still can't believe he is a successful actor.

The 47 year old made his name with parts in Bruce Almighty and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, before landing the top role as annoying boss Michael Scott in the U.S. version of hit Brit show The Office.

And Carell, who stars in new comedy Date Night with Tina Fey, is still stunned he is leading movies.

He tells the Associated Press, "It doesn't sound sincere but it is: I'm always surprised that I'm working, that I have a job doing what we're doing. Tina felt the same way the...

Will Ferrell has ruled out a sequel to hit film "Anchorman," because the all-star cast is too busy to sign up to the movie.

The funnyman had been in talks to create a follow-up to 2004's "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," and last year Ferrell revealed the "odds are good" for a second run.

However, after trying to book in the movie's stars, including Paul Rudd and Steve Carell, for a second film, the actor admits it's impossible to arrange.

He says, "I thought we were doing it. Now I've heard it's going to be too hard to get everyone together."

This Friday marks the theatrical release of "Funny People," the Judd Apatow dramedy starring Adam Sandler as a terminally ill stand-up comedian.

Pretty odd, considering that one of Apatow's most loved and respected works was the TV series, "Freaks and Geeks," a show that beautifully walked the line between hilarity and heartbreaking realism.
