AND AN EXTRA SPRINKLE OF WHOLESOME GOODNESS…

If you’re near La Quinta, California, on March 3rd and 4th, think about heading to actor Will Ferrell‘s two-day charity event called the Desert Smash Showdown.

It will be  48 hours of celeb-filled fun — with a glorious golf tourney followed by some rousing tennis played by top celebs (such as Kevin Spacey) and the best names in tennis (including ATP World No. 2 Novak Djokovic and 2013 Australian Open Doubles Champions Bob & Mike Bryan).

The event –which benefits the non-profit Cancer for College — culminates with a special concert featuring Nelly and special guests Boyz II Men.
