The Clinton Global Initiative is backed by lots of celebrities who want to do good but perhaps they aren’t as effective as they think as this Funny or Die video points out.

The stars are part of the new Clinton Foundation’s Celebrity Division and Ben Stiller gets the team together for a brainstorming session.

Matt Damon wants a Clinton softball team, Kristen Wiig suggests holding your breath for 1 minute a day, Ted Danson & Mary Steenburgen just want to flirt, Jack Black has a theme song and Kevin Spacey pranks the team with a little reprimand/help from former President Clinton.

Oh and stop taking Sean Penn‘s lunch, y’all!

Matt Damon clearly isn’t one of those celebrities who keeps his fans at arm’s length.  At the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of his movie Contagion, he eagerly signed autographs for waiting fans outside the Excelsior Hotel.

Matt Damon might be making his feature film directorial debut with the upcoming movie Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses.

In a $500,000 against $800,000 deal, Warner Bros is finalizing a deal to acquire Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses, the Matthew Aldrich spec that Deadline told you yesterday had five bids on the table. The deal is just happening, and I expect the next development to be that Matt Damon is working on this picture as its star and also eyeing it as potentially the one on which he’ll make his feature directing debut.

Matt Damon is one of the few actors who I really didn’t expect to be vying for the director’s chair, but I guess it makes sense. He’s not getting any younger and he’s acted in about every type of movie, this is probably just a natural progression for him. I’m sure confirmation on this project will come in the next couple of days.

Matt Damon and Emily Blunt hit the red carpet premiere for their latest movie The Adjustment Bureau on Valentine’s Day in New York City at the Ziegfield Theatre.

Blunt chose an Elie Saab girly girl pink frock with ruffles and looked fabulous. In the movie Blunt portrays a ballerina and the dress fit the role and red carpet perfectly.

The actress did say she was not a natural when learning the movements.

The star told Access Hollywood it was “uber-embarrassing” learning to dance in front of people who knew what the were doing.

“It’s very embarrassing, to do something physically that you are horrible at,” she said.

The movie open March 4th.

True Grit hit New York City for the premiere and stars Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges took the brown carpet to celebrate their new Western. The Clearview Cinemas Ziegfeld Theater brought out the actors and their families to take in the scene.

The film is a remake of the 60s classic that starred John Wayne. This time the Coen Brothers take a crack at it and it’s receiving rave reviews. The movie is expected to take some Oscar nominations (although it was ignored by the Golden Globes) and along with Bridges and Damon’s performances, 14 year-old Hailee Steinfeld is making critics sit up and take notice.

Photos from the evening are below.

Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, is shoring up stars for his next big screen project Elysium. D9 star Sharlto Copley is signed and coming back to work with Blomkamp and he’s got a big time movie star in negotiations to step into the film – Matt Damon.

Plot details for “Elysium” are still being kept under wraps, but the rumor is that it takes place on a distant planet in the far future. The film will still deal with the sociopolitical topics that “District 9″ did, but played out on a different stage.

There are a couple of significant firsts about this project. This is the first sci-fi movie Damon has worked on and Blomkamp is getting his first bona-fide A-list actor if Damon does indeed ink a deal.

I hope Damon does come aboard – I’d like to see what this pair can bring to theater.

Matt Damon‘s wife Luciana Barroso gave birth to their fourth child, a girl, on Wednesday.  Stella Zavala Damon was born in New York and joins sisters Isabella, Gia and Alexia.

Matt’s rep reported:

“Mom and baby are both healthy. The whole family is thrilled.”

Are there more kids in the Damons’ future?  Matt decisively says no.

“…we’ve drawn a line in the sand. This is it. Our lives are full and wonderful and we’re done having kids…I think that’s about enough to ask of any woman. I don’t want to turn her into Ethel Kennedy.”

Congratulations to all and welcome Stella!

Here’s the new poster for the upcoming Clint Eastwood film Hereafter starring Matt Damon.

This poster is reminiscent of the classic film Ghost, how fitting to the actual story-line. I really hope this movie is good, Eastwood is still amazing.
