New Daddy Matt Damon Brings Supplies to Haiti

Karl Erikson — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 16:37:00 GMT

Matt Damon, 37, took a trip out to war torn Haiti this weekend to help bring some relief from the terrible hurricanes, four of which have hit the country this season. Matt Damon went with singer Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti, and they handed out food bags and medicine to the many newly homeless residents. Hurricane Ike killed hundreds there.

Damon is encouraging everyone to help the United Nations raise more than $100 million in aid. "Hopefully, we can make enough noise that people will pay attention," he said. "I truly believe in the people of my country."

Damon, star of the popular Jason Bourne movie series, is married to Luciana Barroso. Together they have two girl, Isabella, 2, and Gia Zavala, who was just born last month. Damon is also a stepdaddy to Alexia from Luciana's previous marriage.

Matt has several movies slated for next year: "The Informant," "The Human Factor," and the as-of-yet unnamed Bourne 4.

Naomi Watts Tells Nicole Kidman What To Do

Naomi Watts is apparently walking Nicole Kidman through pregnancy, step-by-step. Which, she says, is exactly as it should be:

"Whenever you're pregnant, you always call on your pregnant friends and compare notes," Watts told PEOPLE.com on Monday. "It's what happens in friendship."

She added, however, that Nicole - who adopted two children, Connor and Isabel, with Tom Cruise - wouldn't need her advice on being a mom. "She's already a great mum," she said.

BFFs are good to have around when you're a pregnant megastar, no?

Nicole Kidman Helps Women, Shows Off Baby Bump

Pregnant Nicole Kidman, who became a goodwill ambassador in January 2006 for the U.N. Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), went to U.N. headquarters on Tuesday to lend her support to the fight to end violence against women.

“Obviously, I’m emotionally connected to this,” Kidman said during the press conference in New York. “I’m a mother. I have a child on the way. A lot of it is realizing the things that are wrong and [pondering] how can I contribute to help my children have a better life?”

She also took the opportunity to show off her baby bump. Kidman, who has two children with ex Tom Cruise, is expecting her first child with husband Keith Urban.

What's Wrong With Angelina Jolie?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:03:00 GMT

It appears that Brad Pitt is worried about his partner, Angelina Jolie - there are concerns about her health again. People were speculating last year about Jolie's weight and how thin she'd become. It was chalked up to her being in mourning over the death of her mother.

Ange has now gained some of her famous curves back but most believe it's because she's again preggo (with either twins or triplets). Brad and family were worried about her during the birth of Shiloh and now there are also concern about Jolie's decision to visit Iraq - her trip was widely criticized.

According to Life & Style:

"All her friends think she's totally crazy for going to Iraq while she's pregnant with twins," says a pal. "I mean, it's insane." And if an attack occurred, Angie would have faced another risk: "Stress could cause premature contractions," notes Dr. Jacques Moritz, an ob-gyn who does not treat the actress.

As if that weren't enough, a parasitic disease called leishmaniasis, also known as the "Baghdad boil," has infected thousands of U.S. troops. Spread by the bite of a sand fly, it can, it its worse form, cause organ failure and death.

Also, Angelina apparently kept the United Nations in the dark about her visit. "[Her trip] was planned independent of us," according to a spokesperson for the U.N. high commissioner for Refugees. So, should Brad have reason to be worried? Maybe.

All very interesting, but there's still been no official confirmation that the actress is indeed pregnant, although she's asked for maternity leave. Scratching head.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Always on the Lookout for Potential Children, Do You Know Where Yours Are?

Angelina Jolie, on location in the Czech Republic, has been shopping at visiting a Catholic orphanage in Prague. Apparently she has found her pick of the litter and Brad Pitt flew in over the weekend to kick the tires meet the child.

According to a source interviewed by AOL, "She called Brad and said she had found a child who would fit in perfectly with the other kids.

"If everything goes smoothly, Angelina will have an Eastern European son to add to her brood."

Currently the family consists of son Maddox from Cambodia, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, Ethiopian daughter Zahara, and daughter Shiloh from Wombsville. Here's what I want to know, how the hell do they talk with all of these kids? They need more translators than the United Nations.

The couple is denying that a pending adoption is underway, which of course means "stay tuned" to FameCrawler for all of your Brangelina needs.
