Movie Preview: Matt Damon Is a Hilarious Informant This trailer for the comedy The Informant has given me perma-grin. A slightly chubbier Matt Damon portrays Mark Whitacre, a real-life "Ivy League Ph.D. who was a rising star at Archer Daniels Midland in the early 1990s. Whitacre secretly gathered hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes over several years to present to the FBI which became one of the largest price fixing cases in history."
The buzz about Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston's recent date hasn't even died down yet, but the actor is already wining and dining other ladies. Last night Bradley and Renée Zellweger were spotted having dinner at Antonucci in NYC, and of course there are rumors that they were flirting and looking cozy — get Renée's look here. They worked together on the upcoming movie Case 39, and Bradley also said that he and Jennifer Aniston are no more than friends, so maybe he just enjoys staying in touch with his former costars.
Gwyneth Paltrow is at it again, this time comparing the lifestyle and culture of Spain, where she filmed her PBS series, to America. The actress has found herself having to backtrack in the past when she's talked up Europe in ways that put down the United States, but that doesn't seem to stop her. She said,
"[Spain] is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible. Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their Blackberries on."
This isn't the first time Gwyneth has compared American culture to other countries, but tell us — are you bothered by her comments?

Justin Timberlake went to dinner in Berlin last night before heading to a William Rast fashion trade fair this morning. Earlier this week at his show in London, he talked a little more about Michael Jackson, saying he's "lucky enough to have memories" with MJ and credits him for helping open people's minds to new forms of music. Justin will get a chance to honor his idol on stage if he ends up performing MJ tribute shows, and a lot of you see the importance in remembering Michael no matter the cost.
