Matthew McConaughey to Play Papa Again
Like the beach, fatherhood suits Matthew McConaughey.
The ab-fab actor celebrated his first Father's Day with 11-month-old son Levi by announcing he and his partner, Brazilian model Camila Alves, are adding to their brood.
"Happy Father's Day. It's my first, and the last 11 months with Levi and Camila have been the most rewarding adventure to date. We have more blessed news to celebrate this Father's Day that makes this time next year double the fun. Levi is going to be a big brother," the 39-year-old Sahara star writes on his reggae-playing website, matthewmcconaughey.com.
"Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time. Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows, and we thank you for all the well wishes you send our way."
DJ AM Looking to Spin Life Story
DJ AM plans to tell all.
The celebrity DJ has battled substance abuse, used gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity, dated a slew of Hollywood starlets and, of course, most recently fought for his life after that tragic plane crash.
It's no wonder he's planning on releasing his memoirs some day...
Did Brendan and Matthew Get Expensive Hair Plugs?
Brendan Fraser recently underwent what turned out to be very public hair transplants. Do a lot of balding men in Hollywood do this on the down-low?
—Diane, via Facebook
First off all, let's pull the steam brakes on this libel lawsuit engine before it explodes: Yes, a few years ago, paps took photos of Fraser looking so bald his head fell somewhere between hard-boiled egg and Don Rickles. Fact.
Couple years ago, Fraser came back on the scene sporting a very pleasant head of hair. Fact.
Exactly how that hair got there—surgery, hair system, wig, mind control—is not fact.
Now, something has touched the golden heads of male stars like Fraser, Matthew McConaughey, Jude Law and the Pivenator. Doctors tell me that it's most likely surgery. But you may be shocked at exactly who's doing it—and who pays for it...
Review: Ghosts of Girlfriends Past a Little Bit of McConaugheaven
Review in a Hurry: Ghosts mischievously fulfills your vengeful wishes against exes, with surprising sensitivity and humor. It also helps that the whipping boy is Matthew McConaughey, who earns his smirk this time around.
Matthew McConaughey: Camila Likes My Exes
For Ghosts of Girlfriends Past star Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves, exes aren't an issue.
The new parents left baby Levi home with his grandparents to attend the opening of Malibu Lumber Yard, where Camila said she's got no problem with any of Matt's former flames.
"I wouldn't call them ghosts," she told E! News. "I have appreciation for all of them. I have appreciation and respect. I've met most of them."
Matt even added that she's actually friends with many of his past girlfriends. As for how the couple is handling parenthood?
Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey Eat Cupcakes, Talk Kids
We've got to hand it to Jennifer Garner for being a good sport and promoting a new movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, on her birthday.
The actress happened to be turning 37 the same day she sat down with E! News' Jason Kennedy, who surprised her with cupcakes.
Her birthday wish? For costar Matthew McConaughey not to sing to her!
The two castmates also talked about their children, including Levi's first steps (onto a surfboard) and what Jen wants most for her girls...
Matthew McConaughey Schools Exchange Student
Matthew McConaughey always did have a flair for the international.
The laid-back actor is flexing his book smarts with Exchange Student, a big-screen comedy McConaughey will not only star in—albeit in a nonlead role—but also produce.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the nonromantic comedy will follow two college exchange students, one who embarks from the U.S. and one who travels to it. Both have opposite experiences during their respective study abroads, with one of them going "off the rails."
The project is aiming for a Wes Anderson vibe, though the indie auteur is not connected to the film. (His quota of drawling Texas boy coworkers is apparently already full.)
Also filling their plates with new projects: DJ AM, Adrian Grenier, Sofia Coppola, Ricky Gervais' new leading lady and—yes, they're still around—the Jonas Brothers.
Scandalously Shirted Matt McConaughey & Foxy BFF
We're not surprised to see Matthew McConaughey getting his active on, as he skates through the streets of Malibu. But we are a tad shocked to see him with his shirt on. Thankfully, at least one member of the McConaughey crew is upholding the family's topless tradition: his dog, Foxy.
Surfers Plead Innocent in McConaughey Pap Fracas
Matthew McConaughey's surfing brethren may have the actor's back, but that doesn't mean they have forgotten how to stand up for themselves.
Two wave enthusiasts accused of roughing up a paparazzo whom they felt was crowding McConaughey on a Malibu beach pleaded not guilty Monday to misdemeanor battery charges, Malibu Deputy District Attorney Bill Clark tells E! News.
Skylar Peak and Philip Hildebrand are accused of shoving shutterbug Richid Altmbareckouhammou and throwing the photog's camera into the ocean on June 21 when he showed up on their patch of sand to snap pics of a board-toting McConaughey.
Video of the incident showed more than just Peak and Hildebrand closing in on Altmbareckouhammou, but they were the only ones charged.
A pretrial hearing has been set for Jan. 14.
Levi McConaughey: Most Likely to Be...
Levi McConaughey might end up being a bit of a challenge for his easygoing papa, Matt. After all, a father's personality isn't a preview of what's to come from his son.
Which has us believing that little Levi is going to tap into some dormant genetic combo buried deep within the McConaughey DNA that will lead him into the analytical, logic-filled world of physics and the world around us. Levi will look at all things with wonder, curious about what's going on behind the scenes, anxious to discover what pulls the strings in all he sees...
J.Lo, McConaughey Storm the Beach
Jennifer Lopez may not have clocked the fastest time, but she and the other competitors at Sunday's 22nd Nautica Malibu Triathlon helped raise nearly $1 million for the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles.
As reported earlier today, J.Lo turned in a seriously impressive 2 hours, 23 minutes and 38 seconds and raised $125,000 on her own for the event, which was presented by Toyota.
The winner overall was Chris McCormack, while The Bachelor's Andy Baldwin won the celebrity bragging rights, if not a rose, with his time. Other stars who competed were Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Jon Hamm, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jon Cryer, Monique Coleman, Scott Foley and Anna Kournikova.
Since they did so much good, we thought we'd offer you a treat for the eyes with our Sweatin' With the Stars gallery.
