Celeb Do-Gooder Travel: In Haiti, It's Matt Versus Ike

September 15, 2008 at 8:45 AM | 0 Comments

Matt Damon and musician Wyclef Jean help deliver food to one of the many cities in Haiti affected by Hurricane Ike this week. The island nation has been slammed by four tropical storms this hurricane season, leading the Haitian-born Jean to organize a special UN aid effort there with Matt's help.

Meanwhile, a performance in which Damon played, shall we say, a supporting role took home an early Emmy on Saturday.

The Emmys aren't till next Sunday, but the Creative Arts Primetime ceremony bestowed a statuette on comedian Sarah Silverman's kiss-off to ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel, "I'm F#@&ing Matt Damon." Ben Affleck was not thanked for his role in Kimmel's follow-up regarding the actor and the TV host's special relationship.

Booster Travel: Matt and Ben for Barack

At least two brave men aren't afraid to associate themselves with "the biggest celebrity in the world": Ben Affleck and Matt Damon spoke at an Obama fundraiser in Miami, Florida over the weekend.

Affleck's wife Jennifer Garner also spoke, reportedly bringing down the crowd with her jokes. Wonder if any of them were about Kathy Hilton, who called John McCain out on his incoherent US Weekly-style ad and gently reminded him that the Hiltons are major personal donors to the Republican coffers. Oops!
