Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso: Date Night

Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso strolled arm-in-arm after an evening out at London’s ever-popular Cipriani restaurant.

The couple are coming off of the big announcement that they are expecting their second child together and third in all, as Luciana has another child from a previous marriage.

Besides spending time with his lovely lady, the Bourne Ultimatum actor is also teaming up with Boston pal Ben Affleck in support of Barack Obama.

According to press reports, “The two actors are part of a new effort from MoveOn.org to create a television ad in support of Barack Obama’s bid for the White House.”

The statement continues, “The liberal group, which endorsed the Illinois senator last month, is asking its 3.2 million members to create a 30 second campaign commercial that ‘shows what inspires them about the senator’s candidacy.’”

Damon and Affleck, along with famed director Oliver Stone and singer John Legend, are among the panel of judges to decide which ad spot is the winner.

Johnny Depp named best celebrity autograph giver for third consecutive year

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor beat Matt Damon and George Clooney to top Autograph magazine's list of the Best Hollywood Signers.

New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi said: "Though Johnny is soft-spoken and laid-back, he likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing. He'll sign more than one item when he has time as well."

Hairspray star John Travolta, veteran actor Jack Nicholson and child actress Dakota Fanning also made it into the top 10 of best signers.

Blades of Glory star Will Ferrell was named the worst signer in Hollywood, closely followed by Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire.

Lon Strickler, an autograph collector from Baltimore, said: "Tobey has a bit of an attitude, but he will sign. But Will Ferrell, I don't know what his problem is. He just tries to ignore people. It's weird, and really rude."

Joaquin Phoenix, Bruce Willis and Teri Hatcher also appeared in the worst signers list.

But Autograph magazine had some advice for its readers, saying: "Keep in mind that even the best signers sometimes don't sign, the worst occasionally do, and that just because they're on the worst list doesn't mean they're bad people. They're just bad signers!"

1. Johnny Depp

Matt Damon Is The Sexist Man Alive

Actor Matt Damon is the ‘Sexist Man Alive’ according to People magazine’s annual issue.

"You've given an aging suburban dad the ego-boost of a lifetime," tells Damon of the honor that came as a surprise to him. "My 9-year-old stepdaughter now thinks I'm cool -- well, cooler."
The 37-year-old Bourne Identity star is featured on the cover of People's annual issue that carries a letter from him signed “Matty.”
"Unfortunately, after all those years out on the trail, the meet and greets, the fundraisers, the stump speeches, I've finally come to terms with the fact that this is a mantle I wasn't meant to hold," he says in the letter.
Damon is married to Luciana Bozan, and has a 1-year-old daughter, Isabella, with her.
"Don't get me wrong, though. I was really shocked and happy (Lucy said I actually blushed) when I heard the news. So I can't thank you enough for that."
Damon’s best pals, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, have been on People's ‘Sexist Man Alive’ list twice.
Scottish actor James McAvoy is a new addition to the list. His steamy sex scene with Keira Knightley in 'Atonement' has cemented his status as a Hollywood sex symbol.
'SexyBack' singer Justin Timberlake rounded off the list in fourteenth place, after his relationships with Hollywood beauties Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel proved his sex appeal.
Last year's winner, George Clooney, didn't make the 2007 list - undoubtedly to the amusement of his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-stars.
On being crowned Sexiest Man Alive 2006, and becoming a two-time winner like Brad Pitt, George joked: "I felt bad for Matt Damon, because he really wanted it. He campaigned hard for it, but he came up short.
"This one's going to be hard for Brad Pitt since he's been Sexiest Man Alive twice. He's enjoyed that mantle. I'd say 'Sexiest Man Alive' to him and he'd go, 'Two-time.' So that's been taken away. We used to call him Two Time. So Brad's going to be upset."
Last year, Matt revealed he was determined to steal the crown from George.
He said: "I'm going to get a war chest going and save my money. George said I was close this year but I ran out of money for my campaign, which is why he won."
The final list is decided by People editors, after readers send in their suggestions for who they think should be crowned the Sexiest Man Alive.

Matt Damon finds it 'a little ridiculous' to be polled top actor

Actor Matt Damon has claimed that he finds it ‘a little ridiculous’ to be polled the No.1 Hollywood actor.

Damon has been named the industry’s noted actor by US business website Forbes.
Speaking at the premiere of the ‘Bourne Ultimatum’ in Leicester Square, the ‘Goodwill Hunting’ star said that the box office has nothing to do with talent, and that it not going to be the same always for him.

However, he admitted that he is ‘enjoying’ his career right now.
“It feels a little ridiculous. Don’t think I haven’t reminded Brad Pitt of that. Box office is never to do with the talent. There are a lot of really great actors who are sitting at home and my phone’s ringing right now. But I know it’s not always gonna be that way,” the Mirror quoted him, as saying.

“There’s an ebb and flow to the business and I’m in the flow right now. It’s great, I’m enjoying it,” he added.

Damon added that he is looking forward to working with co-writer Ben Affleck soon.

Matt Damon hated locking lips with Angelina Jolie

While most men would give their lives to lock lips with Angelina Jolie, actor Matt Damon has revealed that he hated it.



The actor has confessed that it was the most difficult task during the making of their new movie The Good Shepherd.
"We're old friends so it was like kissing your sister," he was quoted by the Mirror as saying.
"I'm probably one the few people who hated kissing her," she added.
Meanwhile, Angelina Jolie was so overwhelmed by the way people were suffering when she first started meeting refugees as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador that she "constantly" broke down into tears.
The actress, who was in Africa in Feb to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in the war-torn country of Sudan, admitted that she had found her role tough to deal with at first.
"The first two years I just cried constantly. I couldn't really talk about the situation without being emotional. And I went through a period of just complete lack of hope," Jolie was quoted as saying. Jolie also slammed those who brand her goodwill work as "celebrity tourism".
She insists that those who do so are ignorant of what the role actually entails. "I don't know if anybody saying that has spent the last six years of their life going to over 30 camps and really spending time with these people," she said. She also recently revealed that life as a Goodwill Ambassador was not always easy or safe, especially since she narrowly escaped being kidnapped during one of her visits to an unnamed destination.
