She’s sorta freaking me out in that picture!

A man will do just about anything when braving the frozen tundra. And for an upcoming episode of the Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, Will Ferrell even drank urine.

Joining Bear Grylls for 48 hours in Sweden’s ice-bound mountain ranges, Ferrell tandem-abseiled off a helicopter, rappelled down hundred-foot frozen waterfalls and made snow shoes from saplings.

“To be able to participate in an episode of Man vs. Wild was a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad,” Ferrell said.

The interesting drink choice was paired with a meal of reindeer eyeballs.

“Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions,” Grylls said. “He should be very proud of how he performed.” He added to Variety: “He trusted me when it mattered and we survived.”

Ferrell’s episode of Man vs. Wild will air the first week of June on Discovery, coinciding with his Land of the Lost debut, which hits theaters June 5.

Dane Cook is not laughing about this one.

The comedian opened up about his half brother — and former manager — Darryl McCauley, who was arrested in December after being accused of embezzling millions of dollars from Cook.

“It’s a terrible betrayal,” he said on Larry King Live Thursday night.

Although McCauley pleaded not guilty to eight counts of larceny over $250, forgery and larceny by continuous scheme, prosecutors allege that the 43-year-old swiped Cook’s money while being paid $12,500 per month as his business manager and transferred it into his own bank account.

“I worked with my only half brother for several years,” Cook said. “Woke up one day and a lot of stuff was missing. There is a good chunk of money that is certainly not accounted for. That’s all I can say about it at this point.”

McCauley is currently in jail awaiting a pretrial conference scheduled for April 16.

“But hopefully justice will be served and I can move on with my life,” Cook said.

Even in the hospital Jay Leno hasn’t lost his sense of humor.

The Tonight Show host, 58, canceled the taping of his talk show and checked into Providence Saint Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank on Thursday. No information has been released on the nature of the funnyman’s ailment, but a rep for the show says he’s “doing just fine.”

“He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses,” says NBC’s Tracy St. Pierre. “He’s expected back to work on Monday.”

According to sources, Leno, who rarely calls in sick and is famous for his strong work ethic, “was just not feeling well. Somebody from the show drove him over to the hospital.”

Actor Ryan Reynolds – as well as an animal handler and several reptiles – had been scheduled to appear on the show.

Samantha Ronson might be having second thoughts about her breakup with ex Lindsay Lohan — at least on Facebook.

After a tumultuous fight with Lohan on April 4, Ronson removed her “In a Relationship” status on the social networking site. Now, she updated her relationship message to “It’s Complicated.”

Her updated profile comes hours after Lindsay Lohan said that the two “are talking,” on Thursday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Up until then, the actress, 22, told Us she was in contact with Ronson via “just texts.”

Complicating things further?

Lohan said she plans to stay on her own for the time being.

“I’m not looking to be with anyone right now,” Lohan said Thursday. “I don’t need to deal with that. It gets too distracting from everything that I need to focus on. Leaving town, you miss someone too much and you don’t want to go sometimes, but I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens. Maybe when we’re fully in the right place… I love her.”
