Matthew McConaughey Gets Engaged To Camila Alves On Christmas Day

It was definetly a happy holiday for Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves who became engaged this Christmas.

McConaughey posted a photo of the couple sharing a Christmas kiss to his WhoSay account and spread the news:

“just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas,” the actor posted with the pic.

Alves, 29, who is a Brazilian model and hosted one season of Bravo‘s Sheer Genius, is the mother of the couple’s two children: Levi and Vida.

The 42 year-old Lincoln Lawyer star spoke to Esquire magazine about Camila and marriage earlier this year.

“I found the woman… I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together,” McConaughey said.

McConaughey will be in the 2012 Steven Soderbergh film Magic Mike with Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer and Joe Manganiello. The story is based on Tatum’s life as a young man in Florida, before he made it in Hollywood, working as a male stripper.

Congratulations to the couple!

Tis the season for engagements and marriage proposals!

Matthew McConaughey & Joe Manganiello Join Guy-tastic ‘Magic Mike’ Cast

Just when you think a movie about male strippers is heating up with some seriously good lookin’ beefcake (Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer) a few more hot hot hot guys enter the picture.

Matthew McConaughey, True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello and White Collar‘s Matthew Bomer have signed on for roles in Magic Mike to be directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Mike is semi-autobiographical of Tatum’s true past as a male dancer in Florida.

McConaughey will play a retired stripper who owns the club that the others work in. Pettyfer is the young guy, new on the scene with Tatum playing the more experienced dancer who takes Pettyfer under his wing and shows him the ropes (gosh, that sounded pornographic…)

Moving on.

Manganiello and Bomer are members of the male dance troupe.

I am happy with this cast. Well done.

Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves At ‘Bernie’ Premiere

Matthew McConaughey dons a cowboy hat and a mustache as he takes his partner, Camilla Alves to the 2011 Los Angeles Film Festival Opening Night Premiere of Bernie held at the Regal Cinemas L.A. Live on Thursday (June 16th) night.

The film, directed by Richard Linklater, is based in small-town Texas, where the local mortician (Jack Black) strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy widow (Shirley Maclaine,) and kills her. He faces justice from a formidable prosecutor (McConaughey.)

This isn’t the first collaboration between McConaughey and Linklater. The two famously paired up for 1993′s Dazed and Confused and a few years later for The Newton Boys.

More photos of the couple are under. (Read the article)

Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank to Star in ‘Dallas Buyers Club’

Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank are both set to star in the upcoming movie Dallas Buyers Club.

Content Film has acquiredThe Dallas Buyers Club for international sales. That puts the picture on track to finally happen, with Matthew McConaughey and Hilary Swank starring, and Jean-Marc Vallee directing. He helmed The Young Victoria, and just wrapped Cafe de Flore. Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack wrote the screenplay. The project has long been a passion of top actors and directors. McConaughey will play a Texas electrician named Ron Woodroof. Given six months to live by his doctors in 1986 after contracting AIDS, he hung on and lived another six years by illegally smuggling medicine into the US. He made sure a lot of other sufferers got them. The spirit of the drama paints a picture at the time of powerful and unyielding bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration.

Sounds like a pretty intensive drama, I wonder if McConaughey is up to it. Hilary Swank fits this kind of movie, but I just don’t get the McConaughey factor. Can somebody please explain to me why he’s still in so many movies? Has he gotten better as an actor? I did hear The Lincoln Lawyer was good, but I haven’t checked it out yet.

Camila Alves Afternoon In Hollywood

Camila Alves spent the afternoon doing a little shopping and having lunch with friends at The Ivy in West Hollywood on Saturday.

The 29 year-old model and host of Sheer Genius was casually dressed in a white dress with black jacket and camel colored hat.

Alves partner, actor Matthew McConaughey, 41, told Piers Morgan he was committed to her regardless of a wedding.

“No. I’m for marriage… (But) I don’t know… Maybe one day, but… you know, it doesn’t make me any less committed. It doesn’t make me love her any less.”

More photos of the gorgeous Alves are below.  (Read the article)

Matthew McConaughey Is A ‘Fun-Loving Guy’

Matthew McConaughey knows there is a certain perception of him in the public consciousness – that guy who bongos naked, parties constantly and prefers his shirt off more than on.

True to form, the Texas-born McConaughey tells it straight up to Esquire magazine’s April issue.

“Do I think the image of me is a true picture of who I am? No, it’s incomplete. But things about me that are out there — I’m not going to say they’re false,” the actor says.

McConaughey does admit that while his image is one-sided, he won’t be issuing denials.

“Am I a fun-loving guy, man? Who likes running around in the summer with his shirt off, man? Am I a guy who likes to hang out with his friends, and party and go to concerts and football games with his friends?” McConaughey asks. “Well, yeah! Yes, I am. Always have been. Always hopefully will be. You know?”

Check out some photos of Matthew working out earlier this week, (with his shirt on, darn it!) below. (Read the article)

Matthew McConaughey Is A ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ Fan

Matthew McConaughey stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote his new film The Lincoln Lawyer and the actor shared with Ellen who he thinks has a shot at winning this year’s Celebrity Apprentice.

Ellen: Do you watch reality TV?
Matthew: I do watch a little bit.
Ellen: What do you watch?
Matthew: “Top Chef” and “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Ellen: Are you watching “Celebrity Apprentice” this year?
Matthew. Yes, TiVo’ing “Celebrity Apprentice.”
Ellen: It’s good, isn’t it?
Matthew: That’s some real good fun.
Ellen: It’s two hours. I think that’s a long time to commit.
Matthew: I don’t mind. I wouldn’t mind if it was three [hours].
Ellen: And who are you liking?
Matthew: I think who looks like they could be good at is it John Rich. He’s going to be good at it. Star Jones is good at it. She’s a diva but she’s good at it. Even when she’s not team leader, she’s taking control back there.
Ellen: Yes, she is. She’s not getting along with everybody. We had Nene on the other day. Nene does not like Star.
Matthew: Wait till Nene is the project manager and has to tell Star what to do. That’s going to be fun. She doesn’t mind speaking her mind.
Ellen: Gary Busey. Are you enjoying that?
Matthew: It was funny the other night when he won. I’m not sure if he knew why he won or how he won but he did win. He’s funny.
Ellen: He’s got all these acronyms. He’s got all these names, these words, and then he has all the things that all the letters stand for.
Matthew: He’s a walking self improvement book.

Catch more from Matthew on Friday’s show.

Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Screening

Matthew McConaughey and his partner, Camila Alves attended the screening of his film The Lincoln Lawyer held at the ArcLight Cinemas Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 10th.

The 41 year-old actor grabbed this part after starring in a string of comedies and told reporters on the red carpet that he did toy with the idea of being a lawyer.

“I thought that’s what I was going to do for six years,” McConaughey said. “I like how I’ve got it now. I can work as one, (then) do something else.”

McConaughey chose a Dolce & Gabbana silvery-gray suit for the premiere and Alves, 29, wore a beautiful black Camilla & Marc dress with draping at the waist.

Dude Food With Guy Fieri & Matthew McConaughey

Guy Fieri gets a special guest on his Food Network TV show Guy’s Big Bite. Matthew McConaughey is going rub down a roast and probably talk about ‘Flavor Town’ with Fieri (really Guy, you do need something new in your repertoire.)

In the one-hour “Guy’s Big Bite” special on December 18th, McConaughey will help Fieri create a feast including an appetizer of roasted Malibu oysters and an entree of herb-rubbed pork roast with pesto veggies next to a fresh farro salad with citrus vinaigrette. And what’s all this food without a stellar drink? McConaughey will also whip up his all-time favorite margarita.

Whatever those two are cooking, I hope it’s going to be fairly entertaining for the Bill & Ted dialogue that I imagine coming from this episode.

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Poster with Matthew McConaughey

Here’s the new movie for the upcoming film The Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey.

This movie actually looks like it might be good, but it’s hard for me to get past the fact that McConaughey has the lead role. It just seems like there are about 50 better choices. He should stick to chick flicks.
