Few men, if any, can do it. Few men can quiver in spandex. Matt Damon does not quiver in spandex. I don’t care how much you love him, please don’t try convince me there’s something going on in your lady business when you look at these photos. Matt is currently in South Africa shooting The Human Factor. Full Story

Last night Clint Eastwood received the Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. It is the festival’s highest honour and it was Sean Penn who presented. Sean owes a lot to Clint. Clint directed him in Mystic River which, as you know, brought Sean his Oscar. It was Clint’s campaigning that helped seal the deal. Full Story

Angelina Jolie showed up at the Gran Turino premiere last night to support Clint Eastwood killing it casual in those black pants but looking kinda clammy too. What’s up with the waxy face? I’m obsessed! The Jolie of course is Clint’s number 1 fan. What’s interesting though is that Clint is campaigning hard for a Best Actor. Full Story

Had to laugh this morning after reading the opening line of the Angelina Jolie article on People.com: “She may be the most photographed woman in the world. But even Angelina Jolie can fly under the radar.” Why is this news? Been blogging about it for years. Full Story

Can you see her Spanx line? I can see her Spanx line! How amazing is it that Angelina Jolie has to wear Spanx too?!?! Jennifer Aniston doesn’t have to wear Spanx. Then again, Jennifer Aniston hasn’t birthed twins. Four months after Their Holy Arrival, and contrary to the theory suggested by bottom feeding rags, Angelina is not starving. Full Story

Well… we can assume he does. Clint Eastwood is nothing if not a pragmatist. An old school dude who’ll get down with some new school moves if it means his movies do well. So Clint is not above the campaign. Not at all. Right now, he’s campaigning for The Exchange (new title formerly The Changeling), his latest directorial effort starring Angelina Jolie that premiered to positive reviews at Cannes, especially for Angie. Full Story

The presser today for The Changeling had a decidedly different feel than the one for Kung Fu Panda. I guess you could call it the Clint Eastwood effect. Less embarrassing questions about how she Angelina was “feeling” lest Clint get annoyed. He was not having any of that today although they did try. Full Story

Angelina and Maddox in Austin yesterday where Hillary Clinton revived her presidential bid by winning both Texas and Ohio. Bitch is the new black! Amazingly enough, Angelina was not wearing black for a change. Pink for Angelina? Highly unsual. As you can see, the Second Coming has inflated Angie’s chest and restored the legendary beauty that’s been missing for many months. Full Story

I know that isn’t the most appealing visual but it can’t be as unappetising as being on the receiving end of Tom Cruise’s ethics, right? The point is – Pitt Porn re-emerged last night as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie left the babes at home and went out on date night for dinner with Clint Eastwood and his wife Dina Ruiz. Full Story

Babel, Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed, The Queen and Clint but no Dreamgirls…do you love it, or do you LOVE it? I love. I love a LOT. And I LOVE Ryan Gosling’s recognition too. Slim chance against Forest Whitaker but still, it’s nice to know that sometimes, a performance with virtually NO campaign behind it can still earn a nod – can hardly believe it’s possible in the current Hollywood climate, non? The lock of the year? Has to be Jennifer Hudson – which means you DO NOT want to be on staff with Beyonce this morning. Full Story

Maybe it’s just me but I wish she’d quit teasing the crown…it’s so 90’s Pam Anderson, don’t you think? Anyway, here’s P at Letterman and at the National Board of Review Gala last night in NYC, probably a long shot for Volver win at this point, considering Helen Mirren received the honour last night, but Penelope’s has been the longest, steadiest campaign of them all…hampered by the foreign language component unfortunately and also by time. Full Story

Per the NY Daily News Ryan Philippe is just starting promo for Flags of Our Fathers, directed by Clint Eastwood, produced by Steven Spielberg, sure to be one of, if not THE, Best Picture juggernaut this season. Full Story

Longtime readers of this column know that I love teen movies. But a teen DANCE movie??? Heaven, y"all. Pure, unadulterated, shameless heaven. I have seen them all. Save the Last Dance? Yes. Dirty Dancing Havana Nights? Yes, yes. Centre Stage? Yes, yes, yes! You Got Served? Um, like, only the best one! I even saw and ENJOYED Antonio Banderas in Take the Lead - the perfect outlet for his Euro cheese. Full Story
