Psst! Guess What I heard?!

Gossip columnists think of the wildest stories!  Though they are seldom ever true, they're sometimes fun to read (if they're not too vicious! =).  Here you'll find tidbits, rumors, and opinions that critics have expressed when it comes to things other than movies. It's just good 'ole gossip! =)  

Here are the gossip stories that put
Matt Damon In The News.


Lonely Matt Missing Best Friend

'GWH' star Matt Damon misses his best friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck since hitting the big time. The 'Rounders' actor misses the   closeness the two friends shared before they became famous. The Oscar-winning duo used to share an  apartment together, with Affleck sleeping on the couch, and right after the Academy Awards, Damon and  Affleck spent a month and a half together in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania rehearsing for the film DOGMA, the next offering from 'Clerks' writer/director Kevin Smith. Damon says, "I still talk to him pretty frequently, but not   as much as I'd want because we're so busy." Ah, the high price of fame. Cybersleaze News, September 18, 1998.


New 'School Ties' Cover Box

There is a new box cover of 'School Ties' available for purchase.  The old version had just Brenden Fraser on the cover.  The new version has Fraser, Robin a.k.a. Chris O'Donnell, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon advertised as "young rising stars."  The back cover also has pics of Matt and Ben. (As reported by Tara).


Brokeback Mountain The New Weekly reports that after the huge success of "Good Will Hunting", it is not surprising that rumours are flying of director Gus Van Sant and stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up again for "Brokeback Mountain"  News Askew, July 22, 1998. 


Names in the News

NEW YORK (AP) - Before ``Good Will,'' there was ill will. Matt Damon, the Hollywood star of ``Good Will Hunting'' and ``School Ties,'' blasted young actors as ``morons'' in a newly unearthed 4-year-old interview that was never published.  July 21, 1998.


Damon's Ill Will

It was reportedly just an interview for some guy's Columbia Journalism School assignment four years   ago. Maybe that's why actor Matt Damon let the  venom out. E! Online, July 21, 1998.


Matt Damon: No Prophet

Having collared an Oscar for "Good Will Hunting," Matt Damon is a big star with an ego, but back when he was a struggling actor he scoffed at what he's now become. Scooper Katie, July 21, 1998.


Speaking of Moneybags Matt

Looks like MATT DAMON is making the most of his new found wealth with a series of massive spending sprees. The Oscar winning GOOD WILL HUNTING star has already bought up two matching Mercedes cars for his parents. He's also reportedly splashed out on a new wardrobe and a $10,000 gold ROLEX watch. And their are rampant rumors that Damon is also planning to build side by side houses for him and writing partner BEN AFFLECK. Gag Me. Cybersleaze News, March 30, 1998.


Matt Damon: Calvin Klein boy?

MATT DAMON says we are right. He won't do a Calvin Klein underwear ad. But the young Oscar-winner wants it known he was not "hotly pursued" to pose in his skivvies. Calvin never even asked him. (Not that we wouldn't enjoy seeing the star of "Good Will Hunting" in his underwear - either Calvin's or his own.) Liz Smith Column, March 26, 1998.


Matt Damon: Calvin Klein boy?

MATT DAMON, one of Hollywood's young guns of the moment, is being hotly pursued to become Calvin Klein's next billboard boy, posing in his skivvies. I don't think this will occur. "Good Will Hunting's" Damon has established himself as a serious actor /screenwriter, and it is unlikely he'd go the underwear route. Still, it is always flattering to be wanted. Liz Smith Column, March 25, 1998.


Damon and Affleck Have No Good Will for Williams

ROBIN WILLIAMS is so chummy with Oscar-winning scriptwriters MATT DAMON and BEN AFFLECK he calls them his "nephews" - but they're about to take part in a cruel scheme to mock the comedian's biggest hit. Cybersleaze News, March 24, 1998.


Best Performance During An 
Acceptance Speech

Has to go to the aforementioned BEN AFFLECK and MATT DAMON traveling frat boy show. They did their best CUBA GOODING JR. imitation and just began shouting out names of people that they wanted to thank. Cybersleaze News, March 23, 1998.


Matt Damon the Gambler?

GOOD WILL HUNTING star MATT DAMON's method acting has made him good enough to compete in a professional gambling competition in Las Vegas.  Cybersleaze News, March 19, 1998.
