Because the first thing I want to see while flipping through a copy of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is a photo of Will Ferrell in full afro as the character Jackie Moon. Yes, in an interesting attempt at movie marketing, Ferrell posed for a slew of shots with supermodel Heidi Klum as part of the 2008 SI Swimsuit Edition. We have pics of Ferrell (as Jackie Moon) on the court (see above), as well as off the court and, um, in the back of a car (check out that one after the jump).

These photos, of course, are helping to promote Ferrell's new film Semi-Pro, which hits theaters at the end of this month. In the flick, Ferrell plays the owner-coach-player of the ABA's Flint Michigan Tropics, and in order to help his team achieve their dream goal of playing in the NBA, he'll have to put moves on more than just supermodel Heidi Klum (who, I must say, looks pretty damn good in this pics). Check out a few more photos of Moon and Klum after the jump, then head on over to Sports Illustrated to see the rest.

[Ed. note: We're thrilled that up-and-coming designer -- and the latest 'Project Runway' winner -- Jeffrey Sebelia has agreed to guest blog for us about awards-season fashion. In his inaugural post, Jeffrey relates his first-hand experiences of Golden Globes night, with Heidi Klum (natch!) and hubby Seal, and his take on the fashion statements of the evening. If you follow 'Runway,' you won't be surprised to discover that Jeffrey wasn't impressed ... but let him tell you himself. And please welcome him to the world of blogging. -AA]

Two weeks ago I was asked to make a tuxedo suit for Seal to wear to the Golden Globes, and as excited as I was it was a little bit of a freak out. The man was nominated for an award, and wanted to represent me while he was there. What an honor. So I set to designing this beautiful suit, and really began to try and picture what the whole event would look like. What would be the trends for this season? Who was going to stand out, and what possibly was going to influence fashion? Was it going to be something like J-Lo's rear end? Was some starlet going to wear a completely backless number letting us all think that maybe we could get away with the same thing? Were we going to see pailletes, sparkles, diamonds, glitz, money, fabulousness and dreams? And was I going to help Seal stand out and be classic, push the envelope a little, and still feel comfortable in this fish-bowl environment? The most important thing I realized for each of the stars was this ... know yourself, and know yourself well. Know what doesn't look good on you and DON'T WEAR THAT THING!

An hour before the show I was at Seal (and Heidi's ) house along with a whole group of friends and co-workers ... hair stylist, assistant, nanny, the whole thing; and at one point Heidi addressed the room and said something that I know was being echoed all through Hollywood that day. She said "the last thing we want is to end up on anyone's worst dressed list ... or to end up on When bad things happen to good people" Hear, hear!!!!! And that sparked off a conversation about who might end up in that category tonite, and what that might look like. Was it going to be someone's ass just hanging all out of their dress, or was it going to be an otherwise austere leading man donning a clown-like suit for want of being a little too independent.
