Will Ferrell was hauled out of a Lakers-Pelicans game in New Orleans last week after making a drunken spectacle of himself on the court and throwing a basketball at a cheerleader's face. What? Will Ferrell?

 

How awful! Okay, don't worry, it was all staged.

The scene was being filmed for his new movie, Daddy's Home. At halftime of the game, a supposed drunken Farrell is brought out onto the court to attempt a half-court shot. But instead of aiming for the basket, he throws the ball directly at a cheerleader's face. As her fellow cheerleaders rush to her aid, security personnel tackle Ferrell and carry him away.

That stunt woman sure earned her pay on that one.  Can't wait to see the movie.
