Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux lounged under the Mexican sun yesterday in Cabo. Jennifer was engrossed in a novel, while Justin sat close by, thumbing through a script. The pair took a short break from their tanning session to eat tacos and fruit. They also shared an adorable hug and reminded us why they're among the sexiest celebrity couples of 2012. Later on, they had some company! Justin and Jennifer welcomed Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Jimmy Kimmel, and Molly McNearney to their suite. Emily and John cuddled on a lounge chair, while Jimmy and his wife, Molly, cracked jokes with Jen and Justin.

Jen and Justin arrived in Cabo on Sunday and have since taken to hanging poolside at their tropical resort. The New Year is just around the corner, though still no word on when Jen and Justin plan on tying the knot. Jen and Justin's engagement landed a hot spot on our list of the most shocking moments of 2012, and we can't wait to see what the pair surprises us with in the New Year.

Promised Land: Damon and Krasinski Are Captivating Competitors

The environmental battle over natural gas drilling may not seem like the material that crowd-pleasing movies are built on, but Promised Land overcomes its potentially bland fracking setup to be a genuinely entertaining movie.

The environmental battle over natural gas drilling may not seem like the material that crowd-pleasing movies are built on, but Promised Land overcomes its potentially bland fracking setup to be a genuinely entertaining movie. In fact, this movie isn't really about fracking as much as it is the moral dilemma faced by its main character, portrayed by Matt Damon. He and John Krasinski square off in the Gus Van Sant-directed film as combating forces on either side of the fracking debate. They handily influence a small town (and the audience), though both campaigns are as compelling as they are dubious.

Damon plays Steve Butler, a slick but likable salesman, with familiar ease. He represents Global, a megacorporate natural-gas company that buys the drilling rights to citizens' land. Steve's got one last town (the fictional McKinley) to win over with his partner Sue (Frances McDormand, a pleasure to watch, as always) before he's promoted up the corporate ranks. They think they've got it in the bag until Dustin (Krasinski), an environmentalist with some bold claims about the detrimental effects of fracking and a whole lot of photos of dead cows, comes into town. Watching the tug of war that ensues to win the favor of the small population gets a little tedious, but the competitive dynamic between Steve and Dustin is one of the strengths of the film. Find out what else I thought of Promised Land when you read more.

John Krasinski is one of the stars of drama Promised Land — which he also cowrote with costar Matt Damon. When I sat down with Krasinski to talk about working with Damon, he admitted to being in awe of the actor since he wrote one of his all-time favorite films, Good Will Hunting. Krasinski also talked about what it's been like to wrap up the final season of The Office, how he's feeling about saying goodbye to the show, and which former costars he'd like to see come back.

John Krasinski and his wife, Emily Blunt, were in a happy mood when they grabbed food together in Beverly Hills yesterday.

John Krasinski and his wife, Emily Blunt, were in a happy mood when they grabbed food together in Beverly Hills yesterday. Those smiles may have been caused by the news that Emily was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Emily commented on her nomination, saying, "I'm so incredibly thankful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing our little movie that could."

The nomination wasn't the only fun news for the couple. John dipped his toes in the social media waters earlier this week — John Krasinski joined Twitter! He launched the account to promote his new film, Promised Land. John had some initial troubles with Twitter, saying, "I have no idea what I'm doing — feel 182 years old — so I may need some help!"

Matt Damon hit the red carpet for the LA premiere of Promised Land last night. He had wife Luciana by his side, but also posed with costar and pal John Krasinski. It was their second event of the week after also promoting the project with a screening in NYC on Tuesday. The next day, Matt, Luciana, and their three youngest daughters traveled to the West Coast together. They've been going back and forth between both coasts since purchasing a home near the Garner-Afflecks in LA over the Summer. It looks like they'll be staying put for at least a few days since Matt has press interviews this weekend and is also scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show on Monday.

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, hit the red carpet last night in NYC for the premiere of his new movie Promised Land. He wrote, produced, and stars in the movie alongside collaborator John Krasinski, who posed for photos without his own spouse, Emily Blunt, who's been in England making All You Need Is Kill with Tom Cruise. Emily's sister Felicity Blunt was able to attend, though, with her husband, Stanley Tucci. Matt and John also celebrated the upcoming movie with costars Rosemarie DeWitt and her husband, Ron Livingston. On the carpet, John spoke about his strong friendship with Matt. He said, "I would love to have a bromance with him, but I don't even know if I could even use the word 'bromance' because he and Ben [Affleck] are so tight and like a married couple that I'll never get in there."

Matt and John said a few words before the screening, along with director Gus Van Sant. Gus said the premiere screening was "momentous" while Matt declared that there's "a little piece of our soul in this." Afterward, the gang retired to an afterparty at Loi. Matt and Luciana holed up in a banquette for a bit, along with their oldest daughter, Alexia. John, likewise, was surrounded by family to celebrate his big project.
