Ferrell joins teammates including Ashton Kutcher, Tobey Maguire, Josh Duhamel, Brandon Routh, Leonardo DiCaprio and Don Cheadle, according to New York gossip column, Pagesix. Other newcomers due to make their E League debuts this month (Dec07) include Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg, Adam Sandler and Shia LaBeouf.
