Actor Will Ferrell is in talks with Anheuser-Busch about appearing in one of the company's Super Bowl XLII ads on Fox on February 3, according to Holly Sanders of the N.Y. POST.  Should A-B choose the spot for the game, Ferrell will appear in the commercial as his character from the upcoming film, "Semi-Pro," which opens February 29.  In the film, Ferrell plays Jackie Moon, the "player-coach-owner of the fictional Flint (Michigan) Tropics" from the '70s-era ABA.  In other celebrity tie-ins, Justin Timberlake is filming a Super Bowl spot with Pepsi, while Hershey's "has a Super Bowl ad deal" with Carmen Electra (N.Y.
