Will Ferrell And Family Enjoy Some Tennis (Video)

Comedic black belt Will Ferrell faced off with Swedish tennis champ Mats Wilande at the K-Swiss Global Tennis Showdown this weekend in LA. You're going to have to read on to know who won. Big cliffhanger, I know.

"He has a slice backhand that's very similar to the one I hit when I'm really lazy."

That's what Mats had to say when asked whether there were similarities in his and Will's tennis style. The similarities probably end there.

Apparently, Will's tennis style consists of really weak play offset by mind games and insults -- which of course didn't work. Hey, Will's never pretended to be a tennis champ, only a professional figure skater, basketball player, cheerleader, and NASCAR driver.

For this unforgettable moment in sports history, of course Will brought along the family: his wife Viveca, Magnus, 5, and Mattias, 2.

Vancouver Canucks - Cutest Player Ever

She shoots, she scores - as the cutest Vancouver Canuck ever!

Ronja Sedin is the 2-year-old daughter of Canucks' left wing Daniel Sedin. Give the girl some duct tape and she can whip up a make-shift puck and slap that puppy around with her stick.

Vancouver didn't make it to the play-offs. Shucks. What can I say? I'm a Calgary fan. Go Flames!

Nicole Kidman's Bathing Suit Sold to Buy Cows

Karen — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:33:00 GMT

When Nicole Kidman forgot her bathing suit in Sweden, I bet she never imagined the new owner would auction it off to buy cows.

"The swimsuit went to the highest bidder for 16,200 kronor (2,500 dollars, 1,720 euros). That's enough to buy nine cows," the suit's previous owner Zlatko Nedanovski, 32, told AFP.

Nedanovski has had the suit displayed in his second-hand store for five years, and finally decided to sell it off to put it to good use.

Yahoo reports:

Nedanovski said he hoped to raise enough to buy five cows, or around 9,000 kronor, as part of a project run by the Swedish aid organisation Erikshjaelpen.

"This went amazingly well," he said, acknowledging however that he would miss the suit, which has been on display in a second-hand store in the southern Swedish town of Esloev for the past five years.

"I felt it was time the bathing suit was used to help others, but it will feel a bit empty without it," he said.

Kidman, a keen swimmer, forgot the suit at a pool she had reserved for her personal use in the southwestern town of Vaenersborg during a 2002 stay in Sweden to shoot Lars von Trier's "Dogville".

Pool staff found it and handed it over to a local radio station.

Nedanovski then bought the swimsuit for 5,500 kronor.

Bids for the swimsuit had come from all over the world, Nedanovski said, but it finally went to 49-year-old Bengt Olsen from Sweden's film town Trollheattan, just south of Vaenersborg.

"I think it's wonderful that the suit has been returned to Sweden's film capital," Olsen told AFP.

"And I hope the bathing suit will raise more money for more cows for more poor Indian families," he said, explaining that he planned to charge a small fee to allow people to view the suit and use the proceeds to buy more cows.

"I've also decided to give one cow each year to an Indian family, and I want to encourage everyone else to do the same," he said.
