Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly Working on a 'Step Brothers' Rap Album?

Rumor Mill:  Today's rumor comes to us courtesy of director Adam McKay tweeting that Step Brothers stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, or the creators of Prestige Worldwide will be making a rap album.

Apparently, McKay sent out a tweet saying "Are we currently working on a Step Brothers rap album?  Yup."

Early guesses are that this could be a hoax, something McKay and Ferrell plan to post on their site Funny or Die, or as a publicity stunt for a Step Brothers sequel.  Last summer Step Brothers co-star Richard Jenkins told the folks at cinemablend.com that he'd spoken with McKay about doing Step Brothers 2, and he seemed to think another one was inevitable.

Forbes List of 10 Most Overpaid Actors

Forbes has released their annual list of the "10 Most Overpaid Actors" in Hollywood and for a second year in a row, Will Ferrell finds himself in the number one spot.

To compile the list, Forbes estimates how much an actor earns on a film, then they analyze the film's gross to determine how much of a return studios get on their investment in a particular actor. They look at actors last three films, then divide the "operating income on those films ... by the star’s total compensation to come up with a return-on-investment number. The final number represents an average of how much a studio earns for every dollar paid."

Most of the names on the list aren't very surprising. Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy claim the top two spots and names you'd expect like Tom Cruise, Vince Vaughn and Jim Carrey round out the list. (You can see the complete top 10 after the cut.)
