The Clinton Global Initiative is backed by lots of celebrities who want to do good but perhaps they aren’t as effective as they think as this Funny or Die video points out.

The stars are part of the new Clinton Foundation’s Celebrity Division and Ben Stiller gets the team together for a brainstorming session.

Matt Damon wants a Clinton softball team, Kristen Wiig suggests holding your breath for 1 minute a day, Ted Danson & Mary Steenburgen just want to flirt, Jack Black has a theme song and Kevin Spacey pranks the team with a little reprimand/help from former President Clinton.

Oh and stop taking Sean Penn‘s lunch, y’all!

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming film Greenberg with Ben Stiller.

Ben Stiller looks terrible in this movie, not to mention the movie also looks terrible. I couldn’t want to see this less, in fact I would seriously consider turning you down if you offered to pay me to watch it.

Actress Laura Dern has joined the cast of the the upcoming sequel Little Fockers.

Laura Dern is joining the cast of Universal and Tribeca Prods.’ latest “Meet the Parents” sequel.

The movie, directed by Paul Weitz, is working under the title of “Little Fockers,” but that might change. It reunites most of the main players from the previous movies, including Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson. Jessica Alba also recently joined the cast.

Dern plays the headmistress of the elementary school that the Fockers’ kids attend.

She’s great, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie with her in it. I’m sure she’ll be a funny addition to the cast.

Jessica Alba is likely to star in the new film sequel Little Fockers starring Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.

The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Risky Biz Blog” got the scoop that actress Jessica Alba is in negotiations to join Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and company in Paul Weitz’s Little Fockers, the third chapter in the comedy series that kicked off in 2000 with Meet the Parents. She will play an attractive pharmaceutical rep whose looks wreak havoc on male characters in the story.

Alba isn’t the best actress in the world, but she manages, and she looks great doing it. This movie is of little interest to me, but I’m sure it’s bound for success.

One of my all time favorite actors, Ben stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor have put their ‘home’ on the market.  This real estate listing is not one of you normal ones.  This isn’t just a house, it’s a massive property with a TON of space!

The property, which sits on nearly 1 acre, includes two houses and a one-bedroom guesthouse for a total of 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

A gated and walled 1929 Spanish-style house of 5,334 square feet has been restored and updated. Outdoor courtyard and living areas, as well as the lushly landscaped pool area, are defined by decorative terra-cotta tiles with colorful inlays.

A second home — a three-story contemporary Mediterranean, originally built in 1930 and also redone — has 4,062 square feet of living space. Several French doors along the back lead to extensive outdoor terrace and deck areas with built-in seating around mature trees.

Oh my goodness!  Can you imagine living there?  Well, the listing price is a steal in my opinion.  At only $12.5 million, you get a whole lotta house for your money!  It’s simply breathtaking, I wonder why they are selling it?

A new animated film from Dreamworks is coming and it’s called Oobermind. 

This is the superhero project being produced by Ben Stiller, formerly titled Master Mind. 

Written by Alan J. Schoolcraft and Brent Simons, Oobermind is a satirical take on superhero movies (think The Incredibles). When super villain Oobermind (Robert Downey Jr) defeats his arch-rival Metro Man, the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So he creates a new superhero rival. Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain too. Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the innocent? Oobermind! That’s who.  Tina Fey also provides her voice for the film. Oobermind is scheduled to hit theaters on November 5th 2010.

Strange title but if they can pull off anything near the level of The Incredibles (from Pixar) it will be great. Then again, this is Dreamworks not Pixar.

Ben Stiller was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan studios yesterday. I’m not so sure what is up with his hair. I sure like it better short but with it like this his eyes are really bright. Who knows…there might be a sexy guy under there somewhere.

Since Ben was promoting his new movie Night at the Museum 2 I thought maybe I would find something neat about the movie. I pulled through I thought…They really filmed part of the movie at the Smithsonian Institute and the director of Night at the Museum 2 , Shawn Levy, explained just how strict they were about it.

For starters, you promise that you won’t break anything. I think it helped immensely that our first movie was well-known enough that people could recommend to the Smithsonian that we were going to treat their institution respectfully, with humor and wit and reverence as well. Also, the first movie actually increased attendance at the New York Museum of Natural History, I’m told, close to 20 percent after Night at the Museum. The Smithsonian knew that the first movie had actually affected museum attendance, so anything that can actually catalyze interest in these institutions is a good thing.

Ben went on to say that they filmed as much as they could get away with there with disrupting things. I think that is very cool that they actually got to film part of that movie there. I will be excited to see this one. It hits theaters May 22.

Here’s what Ben Stiller said about the possible upcoming sequel Zoolander 2.

Stiller says that it would be set 10 years later with Derek Zoolander dealing with the fact that he is no longer a model, possibly spending his days running a modeling school and taking care of his now 10 or 11 years old son. And Stiller says that a sequel couldn’t be made without Owen Wilson reprising his role as Hansel.

Here’s the video:

I’m not a big Ben Stiller fan personally, but Zoolander cracked me up. Hopefully they get around to making the sequel, as stupid as it will be.

Ben Stiller is known for comedy, but he insists that he’s not funny.

‘I’m not Mr Funny Guy.  Robin Williams is funny and outgoing. That’s not me. I can’t tell a joke.’

Pretty unassuming, considering his comedies have grossed $4.3 billion worldwide.

So who IS funny, in Ben’s mind?  Ricky Gervais!

Catch Ben in Night At The Museum:  Battle At The Smithsonian, opening May 22.
