Andre 3000's Basketball Embarrassment....

Actors Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson never felt threatened by rapper Andre 3000's basketball skills on the set of Semi-Pro - because he's hopeless at the sport.The new comedy movie - about the owner of a basketball team who rallies his troops to help them realise their Nba dreams - called on the three stars to put their athletic abilities into practice.However, any fears Andre 3000 would overawe his castmates on the court quickly evaporated when it became obvious he was the worst player on set.He tells Mtv.com, "To be honest, I'm probably the worst player out (there)."I mean, I'm quick, I can dribble, I can move around. I just have never sat down and gotten my shot together. But I can go to the hole pretty good!" In other news the Outkast rapper is heading into the studio to record his debut solo album.The Hey Ya! singer has focused his efforts on his movie career over the past couple of years - with star turns in such films as Be Cool, Four Brothers and Revolver.But Andre 3000 is eager to get back into music - as soon as his promotional duties for new Will Ferrell-starring comedy Semi-Pro come to an end.He tells Mtv.com, "After I finish promoting Semi-Pro, I'm going to the studio and kind of staying in there for a while. I'll bang out something!" OutKast released their last album Speakerboxx/The Love Below in 2003. The double disc featured solo albums from both Big Boi and Andre 3000, but was released under the OutKast banner.

Andre 3000's solo LP is expected to hit music store shelves later this year (08).
