Actor Steve Carell’s wife was furious after he waxed his chest for hit comedy The 40-Year Old Virgin, because the treatment was carried out my a non-professional.

The 45-year-old agreed to have his chest hair removed for unscripted scenes in the 2005 movie, but the end result did not impress his wife Nancy Mills.

He says, “The blood was real. They hired an actress who said she had waxing experience. “My wife freaked out when I got home. She made me wear a T-shirt around the house for months. Tweezing, coiffing and waxing every errant hair seems weird to me. I have better ways of spending my time.”

Steve Carrell says that he’s overjoyed that a style magazine has named him the best dressed man at last month’s Academy Awards.

He said that he is particularly pleased to have beaten out competition from Hollywood hunk George Clooney to land the top spot on the Esquire list.

He jokes, “George Clooney is a hack. It’s all makeup. It’s mirrors, too. They spackle it on. I agree, I’m much better looking than George Clooney.”

Bruce Almighty co-stars Jim Carrey and Steve Carell have teamed up again to bring another Dr. Seuss tale to the big screen. Carrey, who starred in Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas, will play the lead in Horton Hears a Who!, while Carell will portray the Mayor of Whoville in the project.

Comedienne Carol Burnett, who plays the villainous Kangaroo in the film, says, “I’ve yet to meet Jim or Steve and I hope I do. Maybe Steve can get me on (TV show) The Office, which I love. And I wish Jim and I could be on the same set together because I think we could be ad-libbing and overlapping and stuff. It would be wonderful.”

That sounds great!

Anne plays agent 99 and Steve plays Maxwell, in the movie version of the 60’s TV Show which is scheduled for release in June of 2008. Man, I hated that show…maybe the movie will be better.
