New Daddy Matt Damon Brings Supplies to Haiti

Karl Erikson — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:37:00 GMT

Matt Damon, 37, took a trip out to war torn Haiti this weekend to help bring some relief from the terrible hurricanes, four of which have hit the country this season. Matt Damon went with singer Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti, and they handed out food bags and medicine to the many newly homeless residents. Hurricane Ike killed hundreds there.

Damon is encouraging everyone to help the United Nations raise more than $100 million in aid. "Hopefully, we can make enough noise that people will pay attention," he said. "I truly believe in the people of my country."

Damon, star of the popular Jason Bourne movie series, is married to Luciana Barroso. Together they have two girl, Isabella, 2, and Gia Zavala, who was just born last month. Damon is also a stepdaddy to Alexia from Luciana's previous marriage.

Matt has several movies slated for next year: "The Informant," "The Human Factor," and the as-of-yet unnamed Bourne 4.

Fans Trying To Save Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch

Karen — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:01:00 GMT

Recently we learned that Michael Jackson might lose Neverland Ranch if he doesn't come up with the $25 million necessary to keep it.

Crazed Jacko fans Liam Collins, 29, and David Bone, 26, placed a bid on the Neverland Ranch in an effort to save the property. Their plan is to rent it back to Jackson and his family once it's saved.

Not to be mean or anything, but Liam and David are nuts if they think he'll pay their rent either. Seeing as they have more money than brains, I really think they ought to give me their money and I'll decide where to put Jackson. Then I'll pocket the other $24,999,900 dollars.

Michael Jackson to Perform at Grammy Awards?

Karen — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:04:00 GMT

Fox News is reporting the posibility, but despite sources insisting the pop star has been rehearsing, even this reporter is unsure:

"A lot could change between now and Sunday night, but the scenario that’s been described for me goes something like this: Justin Timberlake starts the show singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. The next act up is Jackson, performing one of his hits from "Thriller," possibly even re-creating the dance number for "Billie Jean" he made famous at the Motown 25th anniversary show in 1983.

Will it happen? Who knows. Jackson, my sources insist, has been rehearsing at a Burbank studio and keeping away from the Staples Center, where the Grammy show takes place."

Michael Jackson's Debt To Wyclef Jean

Karen — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 17:03:00 GMT

Michael Jackson's debt is no secret. He owes in excess of $300 million dollars.

Wyclef Jean says Michael owes him thousands of dollars from production work they did in 1997. "Michael Jackson owes me money," he said. "Mike, holla at me. You know what it is."

"We did a couple of sessions," Wyclef explained. "It was a long time ago now, but I still haven't been paid. Mike knows the money he owes me. I just wish he'd get in touch."

Well Wyclef, don't count on it. Jackson is too busy acting like a complete lunatic and CPS never does anything about it. One day those kids will grow up and write autobiographies that will say what really goes on in their "family."

Is this man untouchable?

50 Cent thinks so. He says the rumors about the two working together on MJ's "comeback" are false: "It's not true. Anyway, what can you possible teach Michael Jackson about music? Nothing."

Fall into the Gap: Wyclef Jean Goes Red

I like the GAP. But I really like a good cause. The newest (Product) Red Campaign which donates 50% of the proceeds to AIDS research is underway.

Wyclef Jean and his daughter Angelina posed for the charitable series of photographs taken by Annie Leibovitz.

Also of note- Wyclef gets to come home next month!
