It was a family weekend for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in LA. The Garner-Afflecks enjoyed lunch on Saturday before the couple met up with BF Matt and pregnant Luciana for dinner at Nobu in Malibu where the foursome shared a toast to celebrate Ben and Jen's third anniversary on Sunday. Speaking of Mr. Damon, he's looking way better already — amazing what a little change of wardrobe and scenery can do. Fancy dinners with friends are always nice, but Ben also opened up about his time in the Congo and his family. He said:
On his trip to Congo: “It’s definitely changed me. It’s definitely been a part of… I guess a growing sense that I have a responsibility to do something with my life that’s other than just serving mileage in some way… You have a responsibility to your kid and also a responsibility to the world around you, so all that [is] part of the motivation for doing all this stuff.”
On life with Jen and Violet: “Things are pretty great. We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home. I’m at a point now where even… vacation sort of feels a little bit like work. I’d rather just kind of chill and take it easy.”
While we'd love to see the Damons and Garner-Afflecks head to Hawaii for another vacation together, we understand the desire for quiet time home in LA instead. For lots more pics of Hollywood's cutest family and best friends just read more
Despite early bad weather, the Glastonbury Festival rolled on this weekend with celebrity fans including Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne out to see performers like John Mayer, Jay-Z and so many more. Amy Winehouse found a way to make new headlines with her despicable behavior including punching a fan in the middle of her performance — more on that and video over on UK Pop — and insulting Kanye on stage. On a brighter note, Jay-Z killed it as the headliner with Beyonce watching from the audience. After Noel Gallagher of Oasis made some disparaging comments about Jay headlining the festival, the rapper was under a lot of pressure to perform. Instead, he took the stage, guitar in hand, and started off his set by singing "Wonderwall" into "99 Problems." Amazing, check out the video below — so fun and the perfect way to win over some new fans overseas.
Britney Spears dined at Sur on Friday before her first sleepover with the boys on Saturday and Sunday short shorts. She didn't have any smiles, but hopefully she's not letting the failed day of custody talks with Kevin and impending trial date get her down. We'll see how that plays out, but Britney's life is a far cry from what it was a year ago. Rumor has it, however, one thing might bring us all a little déjà vu — the president of MTV said that he would be open to giving Britney another shot at this year's VMAs. He semi-joked, "Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?" Yikes. While the sentiment is nice, thinking back on last year's "Gimme More" debacle is still painful to watch. If for some reason Britney decides to give the VMAs another go already — she is back in the studio after all — fingers crossed she'd be more prepared this time.
After spending a few weeks spreading their love and passionate PDAs all over Europe, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker were back in LA on Friday enjoying a quiet lunch at Toast with friends. Eva looks pretty well rested after the vacation, which must have been a nice break at the end of their first year of marriage. She'll be back to getting all gussied up for the cameras soon enough, but one night that she may not have to get decked out for is the Emmys — while the acting nominations haven't been announced yet, Desperate Housewives was notably left off the list of finalists for best comedy.
With The Hills on hiatus until August, Brody Jenner is gearing up for his new reality show, Bromance. He and Frankie Delgado have high hopes for their new friend, and Frankie recently said, "We are really invested in finding a guy friend for our entourage. We don’t trust a lot of people, because people might want to be our friends for who we are or who we’re around, what club we can get into. . . so maybe this way we can find a true friend.” It could be fun to get a peek into their crazy life, but it seems like every celebrity is looking for a new pal through reality TV. Gender aside for a moment — would you want to be part of Brody's entourage?
Kristin Cavallari went for a coffee run in LA, mixing elements of glamour with punk rock. She spiced up her jeans and white tank with a black fringe vest, her go-to Alexander Wang studded duffel bag, and some nude Brian Atwood pumps.
