All those steamy Talladega nights have led to this: Will Ferrell is a dad again.

The comic actor and his wife of six years, Viveva Paulson, rang out the old year by welcoming their second son.

Publicist Matt Labov says Matthias Ferrell made his grand entrance a little after 2 a.m. Saturday. No further birth stats were released.

The 39-year-old star of the NASCAR-themed summer hit Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Paulson, a 37-year-old art auctioneer, tied the knot in 2000; their son Magnus will turn three in March.

While making the publicity rounds in November for his latest movie, Stranger Than Fiction, Ferrell let it slip on The Late Show with David Letterman that he was expecting another boy.

Ferrell snagged a Golden Globe nomination for his role in Stranger, a comedy about a mild-mannered tax preparer who discovers he's somehow become the subject of the new novel by a famous author (Emma Thompson).

Next up, Ferrell will be seen in the recently wrapped Blades of Glory, a farce in which he plays a disgraced Olympic ice skater who teams up with his rival, played by Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder, for one last shot at the gold. The film is due in March.

After some time off for diaper duty, he will show off his jump shot as the owner-coach-player of a fictional '70s basketball team in Semi-Pro, costarring André Benjamin. The film is slated for a 2008 release.

Raph's Girl note: What? He didn't name him Ricky Bobby? I like the name Matthias....nice and normal.

Exactly what I was thinking, too! And aside from it just being refreshing to see that celebrities are capable of giving their kids normal names, I really do like Matthias.
