MATT DAMON AND BEN AFFLECK: VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Matt Damon is packing up the wife and kids and moving to Las Vegas and he wants his best buddy Ben Affleck to join him. An insider says that Matt is making the move for various tax reasons -including no state income tax and the the city recently passed a huge movie production tax incentive in hopes of becoming the next Hollywood. Here’s where it gets interesting: Ben’s better half is open to the idea because she’s been offered a residency at one of the casinos. Ben and Jen are discreetly looking at houses in the same posh area where Matt bought a home.

Ben Affleck Jodie Comer Matt Damon The Last Duel The Tender Bar

BEN AFFLECK AND MATT DAMON ARE OLDER AND WISER

It’s been a significant week for Ben Affleck – he’s almost as busy as Jennifer Lopez! Above, Ben and Jennifer are pictured at the NY premier of his film The Last Duel. He co-wrote the script with Matt Damon (their first since Good Will Hunting) and they both star in the film steeped in sexism, about a duel over a woman in 14th century France. To their credit, Matt and Ben invited a female writer to collaborate on the script and help write the pivotal female character played by Jodie Comer. (FINALLY, men who admit they cannot write realistic female characters!) We LOVE them for that. That same weekend, Ben’s other movie The Tender Bar, directed by George Clooney, premiered in London and Ben couldn’t be there, so George filled in for him.

Brokeback Mountain Matt Damon

MATT DAMON DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana and the kids are in Sydney, Australia, spending time on the beach with Chris Hemsworth and his family. We found it very interesting that the writer of Brokeback Mountain, Diana Ossana, discussed the movie at a gay film festival in LA. According to The Holllywood Reporter, Diana believes that Hollywood is STILL homophobic. When they were casting Brokeback a number of “prominent young actors” liked the script but backed out of taking a gay role. “We sent the script to Matt Damon, Edward Norton and Joaquin Phoenix, among others, and nobody would commit.” Funny, we always thought those guys were pretty open-minded…

Matt Damon Me Too

MATT DAMON: LOOK! I CARRY MY WIFE’S HANDBAG!

Matt Damon seems to be tripping over his own words lately – he’s been forced to apologize several times over casual comments he’s made regarding the Me Too movement. Women are very sensitive these days and Matt’s longtime relationship with Harvey Weinstein made him a target from the beginning. Recently he decided it’s better just to not talk about the issue. Photos CAN be character revealing- only nice guys carry their wife’s handbag…

Birthday Matt Damon

MATT DAMON IS THE SAME AGE AS JENNIFER LOPEZ

He’s 44, but you’re never too old for a piñata – if you happen to be Matt Damon. Matt’s wife of 9 years, Luciana Barroso and his parents and assorted friends took him to Madeo to celebrate his birthday. Among the gifts he carried out was a Diana F instant camera which means he likes to take analog photos as opposed to digital. We’ve always thought Matt was one of the luckiest guys in Hollywood.

BEHIND THE CANDELABRA- “TOO GAY” IS BETTER THAN “NOT GAY ENOUGH”

We wonder if the studio executives who turned DOWN the Liberace story “Behind the Candelabra” (we bet they were men) because they felt it was “too gay” are sorry now that HBO has this great looking Steven Soderbergh movie. The movie, starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, debuts on May 26 and chances are it will be a ratings bonanza.

Liberace Matt Damon Michael Douglas Penthouse Scott Thorson

“BEHIND THE CANDELABRA” IS A MUST-SEE

#liberace #janetcharlton

Unlike “Oblivion,” every time we see a still from “Behind The Candelabra” with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon playing Liberace and his young boyfriend Scott Thorson, we ache to see it. The 70’s wardrobe alone looks amazing. When the pair broke up, Liberace kicked Scott out of his Beverly Hills penthouse. Years later we went to a party at that penthouse which was oddly located on Beverly Blvd. and had a rooftop pool and “his” and “his” bathrooms, but it wasn’t as lavish as we hoped it would be. Still, it was fun to see. Nowadays Scott Thorson looks a bit like Michael Douglas and Liberace combined.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND MATT DAMON: TWO GLAMOROUS PEAS IN A POD

#Mmichaeldouglas #liberace #janetcharlton

The more photos of Michael Douglas and Matt Damon we see from the HBO movie “Behind the Candelabra” the more we salivate to see the movie. This is a still from Liberace’s Las Vegas home (note the initial on the bottom of the pool) and he and his boyfriend (played by Matt) are wearing matching short and long caftans. Everybody knew the flamboyant Liberace was gay, but nobody said it – until the chauffeur/boyfriend came along. Both guys look very authentic. Can’t WAIT to see this!

MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND MATT DAMON DONE UP AS LIBERACE AND HIS GAY BOYFRIEND

This is the first peek we’ve had of Michael Douglas dolled up in 1970’s polyester finery and bewigged as Liberace along with Matt Damon as his gay lover Scott Thorson for their HBO movie “Behind The Candelabra.” After Liberace dumped him, Scott sued the flamboyant singer for palimony in 1982 and wrote the book that revealed Liberace’s not so secret sexuality. During their relationship, Liberace paid for Scott to have plastic surgery to look more like him – he enjoyed pretending Scott was his son. Matt makes a rather fetching pretty boy – in the scene above the two are shopping for a new car. The photo below is the real Liberace and Cher in character as Laverne.
