At some point last year, Scarlett Johansson took a vow to look as awful as possible at all times. And last night was no exception, at the New York premiere for ‘We Bought A Zoo’, her new movie with Matt Damon and director Cameron Crowe.
She’s chubby, her dress is ugly, her makeup looks like it was done on horseback, and she has Gozer the Gozerian hair. When asked about meeting Scarlett for the first time, Vinz Clortho said, “Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!”

Matt Damon went to a bullfight in Mexico City yesterday, and I’m no PC fag but that seems pretty weird. I wouldn’t like that. I like those videos where the bull jumps into the crowd and starts kicking and goring everyone because fuck them. Two can play this little “let’s stab someone for no reason” game!

For the fist time since ‘Good Will Hunting’ (no one counts ‘Dogma’ for some reason) Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are starring in a movie together.
Damon will star as Boston mobster Whitely Bulgar, with Affleck co-starring and directing. Though they won’t write the script (which of course is what they won their Oscars for in 1997), they have a more than capable replacement in ‘Boardwalk Empire’ creator and writer Terence Winter.
You may remember that Bulgar was also the inspiration for the Jack Nicholson character in ‘the Departed’ (a mobster allowed to run wild because he was an FBI informant), so this will be like that except probably not as good. Needless to say you probably won’t see that quote on the poster.

Matt Damon is in Vancouver today to start filming ‘Elysium’, director Neill Blomkamps follow up to ‘District 9′. It’s not really known what the movie is about, except that it’s “very violent”, takes place on another planet in the future, Jodie Foster is an evil alien ruler, and this and this might be viral videos for it.
Anyway, thats why he has a shaved head, and why he looks pretty badass. That image quickly faded however when he put on his little helmet and went bike riding with his little girl. It’s hard to look tough when you’re squealing, “weeeeeee!!!”

Two years ago most people had no idea who Jeremy Renner was. Two Academy Award nominations later and he’s starring alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (then is expected to take over the franchise and star in MI:5), in The Avengers as Hawkeye (which could get it’s own spinoff movie), and now the always great Latino Review says he is the choice to take over for Matt Damon in the new Jason Bourne movies that are not actually Jason Bourne movies.
…the offer to topline “The Bourne Legacy” is about go out to Jeremy Renner.
The new movie will simply take the title from author Robert Ludlum’s book, but will not use the story. Gilroy has also made it very clear that the new film is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel, and that no one’s replacing Matt Damon. There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter and that this film is a stand-alone project.
It’s interesting that Renner is getting all these leads in action movies considering the rumors about him being gay. A former acting coach of his said it never used to be a secret, and taking his mom as his date to the Academy Awards (two years in a row) hasn’t helped.
He’s a great actor so no one should give a shit but Hollywood doesn’t exactly have the greatest history here. Normally the only fight you’d see in a movie with a gay actor would be at a shoe sale with him snapping his fingers in a circle and then closing his eyes and scratching.
JON MAYER - went on tumblr and said the Huffington Post is “full of shit”, in a 463 word response to a 150 word story that implied he might be back together with Jennifer Aniston. Maybe he overreacted, but let’s see someone blab that you’re dating that fug bitch and see how you like it. (tumblr, huff post)
JEREMY RENNER - has won the lead opposite Tom Cruise in ‘Mission: Impossible 4′, directed by Brad Bird, which will begin production in the fall and film in the U.S., Vancouver, Prague and Dubai. Cruise is expected to star in ‘M:I 5′ as well, but after that the franchise may be handed over to Renner. Actually you can bank on it, because if there’s one thing Hollywood is good at, it’s making long range plans and sticking to it. (deadline)
MATT DAMON - was back today filming scenes for the new season of ‘30 Rock’ (which finally got good last year) and Sherri Shepherd posted a picture of them with Tracy Morgan. Damon plays a pilot who dates Tina Fey, while Shepherd plays the last thing a pound of bacon ever sees. (twitpic)
SOPHIE MONK - is in Hawaii in a bikini, which is more than enough to make the page on a day this incredibly slow. Seriously did you see that Matt Damon story? WTF was that all about? (pacific coast)
