Matt Damon 'Goodwill' Hunting in South Africa

March 16, 2009 at 1:31 PM | by cmb | 0 Comments

For the past two weeks, Matt Damon has been multitasking in South Africa. First, he visited Musina, a border town where Zimbabwe refugees have fled to escape violence. Matt was there as a representative of Not on Our watch, an organization he created with Brad Pitt and George Clooney to “focus global attention and resources towards putting an end to mass atrocities around the world.”

Last weekend, Matt took part in the difficult 110km Cape Argus Cycle Tour to raise money for Make A Difference. Sixty mile per hour winds made the ride difficult for cyclists, some of whom were unable to finish the race.

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

Where: Gonaives, Haiti
September 15, 2008 at 8:45 AM | by egw | 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

August 5, 2008 at 8:50 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

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!
