Sky.co.uk had these new pictures taken on the set of Oceans 13. They’re rather small, but still drool-worthy. Just thinking about Brad, Matt, and George on-screen again - even in the most unwatchable film - gets me all woosy. Sky says there’s this mystery new person in the latest Oceans installment. I don’t know why they’re getting all worked up about it, though. Everyone knows that the new actress in Oceans 13 is Ellen Barkin, who inexplicably gets an on-screen fling with Matt Damon. How did she get so lucky? Her billionaire husband cheated on her and dumped her. (Sorry I’m so bitter! You go Ellen.)

Here are the pictures on set. The linked versions are low quality. As soon as higher resolution versions come out, I’ll post them.

Violet Affleck is nearly six months old, and she’s a little cutie. Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana, is expecting is baby girl in mid-June. Once Damon’s daughter is old enough, she can have playdates with little Violet Affleck!

That’s so cute and those little girls are going to be adorable.

Here is the Affleck family out for breakfast in Cambridge. Look at how Jennifer Garner thanks the man who opens the door for her!

Matt Damon stars in a new PBS special about the environment that airs tonight at 9pm, “The State of the Planet’s Wildlife“. Damon warns about the coming “sixth extinction” that is being hastened by human overconsumption and the rapid depletion of the earth’s resources:

Many celebrities, including Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, and Jessica Alba drive hybrid cars and are concerned about the environment. There’s a very good, and very scary reason why.

You can do your part by reusing plastic bags, walking and riding your bike when possible, and using energy-friendly long lasting light bulbs. Every little bit does count.

Damon is known for his political activism. He signed a petition for Artists United to Win without War to protest against the illegal pre-emptive attack on Iraq. He also included references to Howard Zinn’s book about everyday people exploited throughout history, “A People’s History of the United States,” in his movie, Good Will Hunting.

Even though it hasn’t started shooting yet, Warner Brothers announced today that Oceans 13 is slated for release in July of next year. We thought that the only good things about Oceans 12 were the hot guys and the good music, which makes it hard to turn off the sound while you’re watching. The plot was strung together loosely and we don’t remember much about it except for some heists and the fact that the dialogue seemed too casual.

George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon will star again, with Ellen Barkin - yes Ellen Barkin - announced as Damon’s love interest. That has to be a mistake. The woman is almost 52 years old! It must be a pity role after her recent unexpected divorce from mogul Ron Perelman.

E! Online’s incomprehensible Ted Casablanca seems to suggest that Pitt and Clooney can’t agree on when to start filming the latest excuse to get their hot asses together on screen. Pitt wants to start soon so that he will be available for the birth of his child, while Clooney needs a break so that he can continue sexing up Krista Allen until he’s ready to dump her next month. Matt Damon is presumed to be diplomatic as usual, despite the upcoming birth of his first child.

Here is Pitt flying in Avignon, France on Friday. He’s certainly taking plenty of flying lessons and may get Jolie’s approval soon.

As a Matt Damon and Ben Affleck fan from the days of “Good Will Hunting,” my heart skipped a beat when I saw these pictures of the two together. They look great and and I can’t wait to see a new movie with the two of them! [via]

According to IMDB news from February 9, 2006, Matt and Ben will be working together soon:

In January it was reported that the two were collaborating on a remake of “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” but it turned out to be just a rumor.

Ben and his wife, Jennifer Garner, have a three-month old daughter, Violet, while Matt and his wife, Luciana Barroso, are expecting a baby girl in June. Two more pictures after the jump.
