Damon Wins "Biggest Ass Kicker" Award | Today's Top Videos | 6/20/2008
Between all the "Fill-In-The-Blank Choice Awards" that are out there, we have to admit that the Guy's Choice Awards tend to have some really sweet category. How else would Matt Damon's character, Jason Bourne, have received the apropos award for "Biggest Ass Kicker?" That's even better than Cameron Diaz's win for "A Decade of Hotness." Bet those golden antlers are going front and center on the mantle. read more
Soderbergh Takes a Big Casting Leap to TV Talent | Movie News | 4/1/2008
Steven Soderbergh, the man who brings together A-listers in his sleep, is taking a giant leap into a pool of TV talent — and other talent less frequently seen on the big screen — to help out Matt Damon in his new comic thriller, The Informant.Alongside Damon, who stars as an insider in the agricultural biz, Soderbergh has nabbed former Quantum Leaper Scott Bakula and The Soup's Joel McHale, who's still in final negotiations, says the Reporter. The two will play FBI agents trying to fight corporate baddies in a price-fixing scam. The film is an adaptation of Kurt Eichenwald's blockbuster book, The Informant: A True Story. Bakula and McHale will also be joining other comedic cast members, including Mike O'Malley (Yes, Dear) and Two and a Half Men's Melanie Lynskey. Of his unusual casting decisions, Soderbergh says he didn't want actors who were already overexposed in the cinema, and who could let a dark, comedic tone emerge organically. What do you think of these big leaps... read more

A Fourth Bourne Flick? Forget About It? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/26/2008
This past Sunday, The Bourne Ultimatum took home three technical Oscars for editing, sound editing and sound mixing — every category in which it was nominated. In response, Universal has enlisted director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon in its effort to stage a fourth Bourne film.But wait, you ask? Didn't Jason Bourne (spoiler alert) recover his memory in Ultimatum, thus eliminating the series' central concept? Um, well, yeah. In fact, Damon said as much while promoting No. 3: "The reality is... the story of this guy’s search for his identity is over. He’s got all the answers. What would the fourth [film] be about?"[Dream sequence music][I raise my hand]"Yes, Mr. O'Connor?""Here's an idea, Mr. Damon. What if Jason tried to find and/or rescue other assassins who'd had their memories altered?"[Damon shrugs and turns to his publicist with a bug-eyed, get-me-out-of-here look]"OK, last question, folks…."[End dream sequence music]Well, I tried. Your turn: What's... read more
Jimmy's "F**king Ben Affleck" Debut | Today's Top Videos | 2/25/2008
If you thought Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" was the most hilarious video you'd ever seen, wait till you get a load of what Jimmy Kimmel did to strike back last night during his post-Oscar show. Not only did he whip up a ridiculously brilliant video featuring Matt Damon's "other half," Ben Affleck, as his love interest, but he also went on to recruit what appears to be all of Hollywood to serve as backup singers. Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Lance Bass, Josh Groban, Harrison Ford — it’s an endless list! Brad Pitt even makes a cameo as the Fed Ex guy. All we can say after watching them walk away together in their cut-off short-shorts? Awesome. Just plain awesome. **Note: If the video is loading slowly, sit tight — a lot of people are trying to watch this at the same time!And if you don't remember how this all started, check out Sarah Silverman's "I'm F**king Matt Damon" video below.
