0Love It or Leave It: Matt Damon in His Jim-Jams

The ICG Publicist Awards were last night, and I don’t know what that’s all about, but it’s an award show, and Matt Damon wore his pajamas.  He showed up to this legit award show (I included a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his suit for comparison) in a flannel robe and pants, slippers, disheveled hair, and the greatest “I just don’t give a fuck” look I’ve ever seen.  Seriously, Matt Damon walked the carpet, took some pictures, and presented an award in his fucking pajamas, and I just think that’s the greatest thing.

Let’s dedicate the next week to living like Matt Damon, ok? Can we make that pledge?  I’ll start by wearing the pajamas I’m in right now through the end of the month and writing an Academy Award-winning screenplay, you guys can follow your own hearts.

6Quotables: Matt Damon Gives Psychic Advice

“I think a large part of that space is occupied by pretenders, which is not to say there aren’t people out there who are genuinely touched in some way …
Had I found a good one I would have. What I was worried about was that it was just going to take me down this rabbit hole of charlatans.

Matt Damon on filming his latest movie, Hereafter, while researching the psychic world as fodder for his role in the flick.

Have you guys ever been to a psychic?  The only one I’ve gone to was down in New Orleans, but I went to the same guy three times in a five-year period. Without having anything or anyone to compare him to, this guy was good. He knew, somehow, things about me that even some of my closest friends didn’t. He told me a very specific chain of events that would occur, and on each and every big milestone that I’ve experienced since I made the pilgrimage to visit him, he was right.  For real, guys.  Like Matt Damon, I’m pretty skeptical about anyone who claims to read cards and have gold teeth (which is probably the reason for my general disgust at and  mistrust of Ke$ha), but this guy was spot on.

Have you guys ever had any eerie predictions or stories told to you by fortune tellers or psychics?

3There’s Another Damon Baby in The World!

On Wednesday, Luciana gave birth to the latest Damon spawn, a healthy little girl they named Stella Zavala (that’s cute, isn’t it?  I mean, I can never hear the name Stella without imagining it screamed by a wasted Marlon Brando, but it’s still a nice name).  On top of the birth of this brand new baby, Matt’s movie, Hereafter, was released in theatres on Friday and brought in a pretty solid $12 million.

I think it must be amazing to be Matt Damon.  And yeah, it would probably be awesome to be virtually any rich person, but Matt just seems like a fun, classy rich person who also happens to be married to a rather attractive person.  Plus, wouldn’t it be fun to be able to call Ben Affleck up every once in a while and be like “hey Ben, remember Gigli? What the fuck was that?”

4Matt Damon’s Expecting Another Daughter

I still haven’t gotten over the fact that the woman Matt Damon keeps impregnating is not me, but whatever. I have to deliver this news to you. It’s my job.

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Barrosa are expecting their third daughter. The couple already has Isabella (age 4) and Gia (age 2), as well as Luciana’s 11-year old daughter from a previous relationship. The couple are supposedly “thrilled.”

The news that his wifey is preggo may be one of the reasons that Matt won’t be appearing in the next Bourne flick, or, you know, maybe there’s someone in this town who knows how to throw in the towel when it’s appropriate (I’M TALKING TO YOU, DEPP.)

11Matt Damon is Going to Guest Star on 30 Rock

Late last year Tina Fey mentioned in an interview that Matt Damon was one of her top picks for a potential 30 Rock guest spot. Of course upon hearing this, Matt Damon was not only down to grant Tina her wish, he seemed almost desperate to give the collaboration a shot, saying at the time, “I would do [30 Rock] in a heartbeat if they asked me to come on. She should call my people — or even better me. Or I could call her. Let’s make this happen.”

Then today it was announced that it will totally be happening. Amazing! Yes, Matt Damon’s a great dramatic actor, but he’s always brought the laughs. His guest stint on Will & Grace still makes me giggle and he was pretty good natured when Sarah Silverman announced to the world that they were fucking. And he’s hot for days. Per usual, there are no details about what kind of character Matt will play, but the safe bet is that he’ll be another man for Jenna.

The episode will most likely air at the end of the season. Get excited!

13Alice in Wonderland Takes the Box Office

For the second week in a row, Alice in Wonderland was the box-office leader, pulling in $62 million. I haven’t seen it yet, but I think I want to. I’m just worried that after the first 15 minutes I’ll get bored with how beautiful it is and be like, “Oh, yeah, it’s the Alice in Wonderland story, who cares?” Let me know if you’ve seen it and what you thought. Worth seeing in theaters or wait for DVD?

Matt Damon’s Green Zone was the second-biggest draw, with $14.5 million domestically. As a giant Matt Damon fan, I saw this on Friday, and it was decent. As far as Matt Damon action movies go, it was kind of so-so. Like, the premise of the entire movie is “George Bush is intentionally lying about the presence of WMDs in Iraq.” Which, true or not, is kind of an overplayed concept. I was waiting for the exciting and creative twist, but it didn’t come. However: Matt Damon looked really, really good the whole time. Matt Damon should wear Army fatigues everywhere he goes. I may get easily bored of Johnny Depp looking like Carrot Top in a giant hat, but I will never tire of Matt Damon dressed in Army fatigues. If Matt Damon ever does a movie where he plays a fireman I will probably kill his wife in a jealous blackout go see it.
