Alicia Silverstone is smitten
While you were speaking at the Barack Obama Rally in Miami on Sunday, Alicia Silverstone could not stop staring at you. She was hanging on your every word. I just wanted to let you know that you could totally bang her, you know, if you wanted.

Note to actors: stick to acting
Something tells me Matt Damon is not a Republican. In Toronto for the annual film festival, Damon said VP candidate Sarah Palin's rise is "like a really bad Disney movie." The actor said:
"I think there is a really good chance that Sarah Palin could president. And I think that's a really scary thing because I don't know anything about her. I don't think in eight weeks I'm going to know anything about her. I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town. And she's governor of Alaska for less than two years. I just don't understand . . . I think the pick was made for political purposes but in terms of governance it's a disaster . . . You do the actuary tables and there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term and it will be President Palin. And it really . . . we were talking about it earlier . . . it's like a really bad Disney movie. The Hockey Mom. 'I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska.' And she's the President. And it's like she's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd. It's totally absurd." (Source)
Didn't Matt get the memo? All political commentary by celebrities must include threats to move to another country if McCain is elected. One more misstep Matt, and you're gonna get you SAG card revoked.
Matt Damon has a nice house
att Damon's waterfront home in Miami
NOTE: “. . . is better than you” is a Friday feature showcasing multi-million dollar celebrity homes in the hopes of generating feelings of jealousy, hatred, and animosity towards said celebrity. When you get down to the entertainment-dollar-spending core of it, you helped buy that home. Sucker!
Matt Damon thinks we should travel more
We don't take enough vacations. You know I had a whirlwind tour of Europe planned last month but that pesky rent thing got in the way. The 37-year-old actor told the September issue of Conde Nast Traveler:
"I think many of our problems as a country would be solved if people had thick passports. There's just no substitute for actually going and seeing things."Damon, who says only 21 percent of Americans have passports, says that fame has made him want to do good. (Source)
It must be nice to be Matt Damon. Promoting his films around the world; sight seeing in exotic locales; judging those of us that don't do the same. I'm pretty sure I'd be cultured too if I spent most of my adult life traveling to movie premiers in distant countries. I'm also pretty sure I'd also have like fifteen kids by now, one from each country. My house would be like the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland. I could charge admission and everything. It'd be awesome! Anyways, back to Matt. Shut the hell up. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and can barely afford to fill up their car let alone their passport. I guess in Hollywood, having a big mouth comes with the territory dating Ben Affleck.
NOTE: I can solve problems, too. More Americans would be on time to work and therefore productivity would increase . . . if we all had superfast Ferraris and Lamborghinis! Solving problems is fun!

Matt Damon is the "Sexiest Man Alive"
The travesty that is People magazine's annual Sexiest Man Alive issue is on newsstands. Despite all those extra sets and reps, all the exfoliating, all the lotion, and all the sacrifice, Matt Damon took the top spot. It's like that late-night deal I struck with People's top female executive meant nothing. Honestly I think not calling her back hurt me in the end. But I mean, c'mon, you want me all to your self? That's just selfish honey. This bird needs to spread his wings.
Something happened somewhere:
Ben Affleck finally shaved his grungy beard because it wasn't winning fan support in the bedroom! Wife Jennifer Garner balked at getting scruff-scratched in the clinches, says a pal – and complained that daughter Violet's cheeks were beard-burned cheeks from Daddy-hugs! But what finally made Ben lunge for the razor was Jen's threat that if he didn't go preppy pronto, she'd quit shaving her legs! (Source)
Honestly I had a story written for this and it was hilarious. But then I found these pictures of Ben and his friend Matt Damon in Hawaii. Matt ... he gets a pass. Ben ... my god what a dork. Wearing those shorts, I feel like I should beat him up and take his lunch money.
The National Enquirer published a story recently about Brad Pitt wanting to escape the "pressure-cooker" life with girlfriend Angelina Jolie. Now a "spy" is backing up the claim, telling Mike Walker that Brad "exploded" after Angelina called their daughter Shiloh a "blob" in an interview with Elle U.K. (Angelina also said adopted children Maddox and Zahara were "easier to relate to" because they already had well-formed personalities). Brad was further angered by comments good friend and Ocean's Eleven co-star Matt Damon made to the press. From Mike Walker:
Damon predicted: "Brad and Angie will get married by the end of 2007." Confronting Matt, Brad snapped: "Put a sock in it!" (Source)
So your friend makes a little comment about you to the press. Get over it. Old Brad would have laughed it off before asking if Matt wanted to go plug some local barsluts. New Brad sounds like a whiny little bitch. Kinda like my Mom with her constant nagging about my drinking. Well if finishing four pitchers by yourself makes me an alcoholic, then ... wait I guess that does make me an alcoholic. Dammit.
During a recent trip to the Sahara Desert to scout locations for an upcoming documentary, Matt Damon faced the reality of Africa's water crisis. The situation has inspired the actor to launch a new initiative to fight the growing problem:
The actor, alongside the production team for upcoming documentary Running the Sahara, set up H2OAfrica in a bid to raise awareness and support much-needed clean-water programs. Damon says he "saw firsthand the effects of one of the largest public health issues of our time – the world water crisis which is at its worst in Africa."
I think Matt is overestimating this "supposed" water crisis—if that is his real name. How did I take that four hour shower last night if there is some "alleged" water problem……well actually it was more like a five minute shower with me leaving the shower running for the next four hours. Feelings of excess and waste help me sleep.
At least Matt doesn't want to build more Kaballah wells.
