Matthew McConaughey Parties Like It's 1999 in Queensland

We know, we know, it's so hard to concentrate this morning what with the earth-shattering news that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are divorcing.

If you can bear it, HotelChatter has the skinny on the couple's ill-fated trip to Manhattan where Britney holed up at the swank Regency on Park Ave while K-Fed was sent packing to a DoubleTree in Times Square.

Ok enough, the details are just ripping our hearts apart. We really thought they were gonna make it. So to set your mind at ease, we are happy to inform you that Matthew McConaughey is back to his old crazy party habits, this time in Queensland, Australia, where he's filming a new movie, "Fool's Gold" with Kate Hudson.

Last night he was spotted celebrating at Iron Bar in Port Douglas with a group of locals. Matt went wild, shouting & dancing to the tunes of a local band playing at the bar. Dressed in army pants, a t-shirt & thongs, Matt shouted just after midnight: "It's my birthday! I just turned 37!" He also treated the locals to a round of drinks.

For a minute, we almost panicked. "Thongs?" Not that we wouldn't put that past ole' Matty, but we then realized it was just the Aussie term for flip-flops.

Still, in a celeb world where so much has gone wrong (Nicole and Paris friends again, Colin Farrell and Courtney Love sober, Tom Cruise procreating), it's nice to see a touch of the way things used to be. All he needed was some naked bongo playing time to put us truly at ease.
