Matt Damon to Ben Affleck: Your Tattoo is Ugly AF, Bruh
Back in 2015, the world first marveled at the hideousness that is Ben Affleck’s giant back tattoo.
Many breathed a deep sigh of relief when Affleck revealed that the tattoo is fake and that he covered a massive segment of his torso with a goofy-ass cartoon phoenix for the sake of a movie.
Sadly, we now know that Affleck was lying about the tattoo being airbrushed on.
Earlier this week, Ben put the horrendous ink on full display while filming a scene set on a beach.
Needless to say, he was roasted to a crisp by the internet’s finest sh-t talkers, both for getting the tattoo in the first place and for lying to the world about it.
But Ben’s got some loyal friends in his corner, people who would never turn their backs on him … possibly for fear that he’d be all, “You know what would look dope, dude? A fire-breathing dragon like slithering up your spine!”
Matt Damon has been Ben’s bestie since the bygone era when Harvey Weinstein was someone people actually wanted to work with.
Last night, Damon appeared on The Daily Show, where he sat down with Trevor Noah to answer the tough questions about #BensBack.
“It’s not one man’s job to tell another man what he can do to his back,” Matt said in a classic dodge.
“I support him in all of his artistic expression.”
Clearly, Damon has mastered the art of throwing shade without really throwing shade.
If he actually liked Ben’s ink even a little bit, Matt likely would have said so.
With his non-response Matt joins the ever-growing list of celebs who think Ben’s phoenix is the fugliest thing
“You know what we would say in my hometown about that? ‘Bless his heart,’” said Affleck’s ex and noted shade queen, Jennifer Garner.
The other former Jen in Ben’s life was even more direct in her criticism, telling Andy Cohen:
“It’s awful! What are you doing?”
She added:
“His tattoos always have too many colors, they shouldn’t be so colorful. They should be cooler.”
At this point, Ben’s life is basically a party question game:
“Okay, so you’re a millionaire and you get to dress up as Batman. But, you’re covered in horrendous tattoos and your exes flame you on TV every chance they get. Would you do it?”
It’s a question each of us must answer for himself.

Matt Damon: I Should Probably Shut Up, Huh?!?
It took several weeks and multiple interview, but it has finally happened.
Matt Damon has finally said the right thing about the ongoing sexual harassment scandal in Hollywood.
On Tuesday morning, the veteran actor sat down with The Today Show and reflected on a series of remarks he made last month that got him in boiling hot water.
“I really wished I listened a lot more before I weighed in on this,” Damon said on the program, referring to controversial comments he made in regard to the #MeToo movement.
He’s talking, of course, about a chat Damon had in mid-December with Peter Travis of ABC.
In this chat, Damon grew very defensive of his own gender, taking the stance that not all men are sexual predators and not all the sexual violations are equal.
“There’s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?” Damon asked, stating the obvious.
Over the past few months, of course, stars from Kevin Spacey to Harvey Weinstein to Louis CK to Matt Lauer have been accused of heinous acts toward women.
“We are so energized to kind of get retribution,” Damon continued, sticking his foot deeper and deeper into his mouth and adding:
“We live in this culture of outrage and injury, and we’re going to have to correct enough to kind of go, ‘Wait a minute. None of us came here perfect."”
Talk about missing the point and getting up high on one’s own pedestal, huh?
Damon now acknowledges this.
“Ultimately, what it is for me is that I don’t want to further anybody’s pain with anything that I do or say,” Damon said this morning. “For that, I am really sorry.”
In a follow-up December interview, Damon emphasized that a majority of men treat women with respect.
“I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole shitload of guys – the preponderance of men I’ve worked with – who don’t do this kind of thing and whose lives aren’t going to be affected,” he said back then.
Yeah. We’re pretty sure innocent men are not the victims here.
Again, Damon has at last come around to this realization.
Speaking of the #MeToo movement and the Time’s Up movement, Damon now says the following:
“A lot of those women are my dear friends and I love them and respect them and support what they’re doing and want to be a part of that change and want to go along for the ride, but I should get in the back seat and close my mouth for a while.”
Yes. Finally. There it is.
Men need to sit back and just listen to women explain what so many have gone through over the course of their lifetimes and/or their careers.
Following his initial statement(s), celebrities such as Alyssa Milano and Minnie Driver came out and slammed the actor.
Tweeted Milano, for example:
“Dear Matt Damon, It’s the micro that makes the macro.
“We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal.
“We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long. … There are different stages of cancer.
“Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer.”
So very well said.
We’re glad to see what Matt Damon now agrees.

Alyssa Milano Destroys Matt Damon Over Sexual Harassment Comments
When it comes to the debate on sexual harassment and misconduct in Hollywood, Alyssa Milano has just made it very clear:
She’s the boss.
The actress – who has been as responsible as anyone for promoting the #MeToo movement and who has been a vocal supporter of every woman who has recently spoken out – took to Twitter on Friday night and straight up owned Matt Damon.
The typically beloved star has been criticized mightily over the past 24 hours.
He spoke to Peter Travers of ABC News this week and made far too many attempts to parse the differences between various acts that have gotten men in trouble of late.
From Al Franken resigning from the Senate for grabbing the butts of women… to Louis CK admitting he masturbated in front of women… to Matt Lauer being fired for alleged rape and other heinous behavior, countless stars have gotten in major trouble for treating women with disrespect.
Asked about this watershed moment in the country, Damon initially told Travers:
“I think it’s great. I think it’s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories – and it’s totally necessary.”
But then he kept going, sticking his foot deeper and deeper into his mouth.
“I do believe there’s a spectrum of behavior,” he said, stating the obvious and missing the point of the #MeToo movement.
“There’s a difference between patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?
“Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated.”
Minnie Driver, who co-starred with Damon in Good Will Hunting, immediately shook her head over Damon’s comments.
“There are so many men I love who do NOT frame the differentiation between sexual misconduct assault and rape as an excuse or worse- our problem. Such bollocks,” Driver Tweeted.
But Milano went even further.
Focusing especially on Damon’s assertion that men are being punished these days because we live in a “culture of outrage,” the actress took the actor to school.
She also explained why rape and the occasional sexist comment may be different, but they contribute to the same thing.
“Dear Matt Damon, It’s the micro that makes the macro,” Milano wrote to open her response.
Continued Milano:
“We are in a ‘culture of outrage’ because the magnitude of rage is, in fact, overtly outrageous. And it is righteous.
“I have been a victim of each component of the sexual assault spectrum of which you speak. They all hurt.
“And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted–even welcomed– misogyny.”
We really can’t say any of this better than Milano, so we’re just gonna let her keep going…
We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal.
We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long.
There are different stages of cancer. Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer.
Sexual harassment, misconduct, assault and violence is a systemic disease. The tumor is being cut out right now with no anesthesia. Please send flowers. #MeToo
BOOM, right?
Game, set, match, Alyssa Milano.
Most people seem to agree that Damon meant no harm with his comments and that he was just trying to be understanding.
The thing is, he was trying to be understanding of the men, not the women.
The best thing men can do in this climate right now is simply listen.
The worst thing they can do, even the well-intentioned ones? Pretend they know best, as Damon did here.

Matt Damon Gets Dragged by Entire Internet for Sexual Misconduct Comments
Matt Damon is generally considered one of the nicest, least controversial actors in Hollywood.
But the star has gone ahead and stuck his typically-genial foot directly into his very handsome mouth.
On Wednesday’s episode of ABC News’ Popcorn With Peter Travers, the actor shared his take on the influx of sexual misconduct allegations that continue to hit the entertainment profession.
And, in doing so, Damon opened himself up to criticism from… well… pretty much everyone.
“I think we’re in this watershed moment,” he said early in the interview, adding:
“I think it’s great. I think it’s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories – and it’s totally necessary.”
There you go. Perfect. Damon could have just stopped there and no one would be talking about him right now.
But he didn’t stop there.
With sexual misconduct allegations derailing the careers of such stars as Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Mario Batali and MANY others, Damon made many attempts to parse various situations.
Referring to a “spectrum of behavior,” he said:
“There’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?”
In this case, Damon was citing scandals that have enveloped politicians Al Franken (butt patting) and Roy Moore (alleged child molestation).
“Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated, right?” Damon continued, saying he would have “preferred if they had an Ethics Committee investigation.”
However, Damon argued:
“We are so energized to kind of get retribution.”
Most people would not say anyone is energized to get “retribution” right now.
They would say women are energized to speak out against the many times they’ve been wronged; and this should only be applauded.
In one of his most dissected and disappointing statements, Damon said:
“We live in this culture of outrage and injury, and, you know, we’re going to have to correct enough to kind of go, ‘Wait a minute. None of us came here perfect.’
“You know what I mean?”
Not really.
One can not be perfect and also know how to treat a woman with respect at all times.
Among those who have dragged Damon for his comments is Minnie Driver, who co-starred with the actor in Good Will Hunting.
She linked to his controversial interview on Twitter and just wrote “God, God seriously?”
Others, meanwhile, have said the following:
Damon, who was close to Harvey Weinstein after the producer helped get Good Will Hunting made, dug himself into an even deeper hole when citing individual examples.
Admitting he doesn’t “know all the details” about Louis C.K., for example, Damon said the following:
“I don’t do deep dives on this, but I did see his statement…
“When he came out and said, ‘I did this; I did these things; these women are all telling the truth,’ I just remember thinking, ‘Well, that’s the sign of somebody who…well, we can work with that."”
Ummm…. there are two problems with this argument:
- CK was accused of pulling out his penis and masturbating in front of many women. Damon could have taken a few easy second to research this online.
- CK only released his statement AFTER reports came out that basically confirmed these actions.
Damon is concerns that “the clearer signal to men and to younger people is [to] deny it, because if you take responsibility for what you did, your life’s going to get ruined.
“I mean, look, as I said – all of that behavior needs to be confronted, but there is a continuum.
‘And on this end of the continuum where you have rape and child molestation or whatever, you know, that’s prison. Right? That’s what needs to happen. OK?”
SIGH.
Look, yes, there’s a difference between outright rape and a few misguided comments. No one denies this.
But one could argue that a culture that looks past the latter on a continual basis contributes to more of the former because there because a general acceptance of women as nothing but sex objects.
Moreover, this just isn’t the time, Matt.
There have been too many instances of too much heinous behavior around Hollywood. This isn’t the time to get up on a pedestal and try to teach America about grey areas.
But Damon focused on social media in his interview and lamented today’s culture of presumed guilt, saying:
“The moment a claim is made… I would be scorched earth. I’d go, ‘I don’t care if it costs $ 10 million to fight this in court with you for 10 years; you are not taking my name from me. You are not taking my name and my reputation from me. I’ve worked too hard for it.
“And I earned it. You can’t just blow me up like that."”
“Once a claim is made, there will no longer be settlements. That’s my prediction, just based on what I’ve seen.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Travers countered, noting many female had been unable to share their stories because of nondisclosure agreements.
“One hundred percent,” Damon responded, adding that “every woman who’s coming forward with one of these stories needs to be listened to and heard.”
Boom. Yes. Done.
That’s all you had to say in the first place, Matt Damon.

Damon Wayans Jr. Ignites Controversy with "Racist" July Fourth Tweet
Damon Wayans Jr. made us laugh pretty hard during his run as Coach on New Girl.
But the actor has elicited a very different reaction from a number of Internet users in response to his sarcastic Fourth of July Tweet on Tuesday.
In celebration of the holiday (or in “celebration,” perhaps we should write, with the quotation marks added and emphasized), the former Fox sitcom star Tweeted the following yesterday morning:
Happy white people proud of their racist ancestors day.
Wayans, of course, is making a joke here about how so many Americans essentially bow down at the feet of the country’s Forefathers, especially on July Fourth…
… despite the fact that so many of these founders owned slaves.
Heck, Thomas Jefferson even impregnated at least one of his slaves.
Was this joke funny or foul, however?
Over 1,100 people Liked the tweet, while more than 1,200 replied to it.
And many of these responses didn’t think Wayans was in the right for using such a patriotic occasion to play the race card in this kind of manner.
“Just another example of Hollywood talking down to Americans. They hate this country & their fans. #FabricatedRacism sadly returns @wayansjr,” wrote user @ViperNTheTemple.
The actor actually replied to this critique, stating that he was making a joke and some people just took it personally and that’s okay because “jokes aren’t illegal.”
This is true.
It’s also irrelevant, of course.
Whether or not you agree with Wayans’ stance, no one is saying he ought to go to prison for expressing it.
“Not illegal, but offensive & hateful,” wrote user @WTPatty, making this same point online.
Others, meanwhile, pointed to the men and women in the armed forces who have died for our independence and freedom and remarked that they should be the focus of all July Fourth Tweets.
This day isn’t really about George Washington, they argue.
It’s about the thousands of people who aren’t grilling with their families because they are on the frontlines of major danger overseas.
This is the best, most rational argument against Wayans’ quip.
But not many users made it. They went straight for the personal jugular instead.
“Enjoy what’s left of your already s–tty career that your dad created for you,” wrote user @JasonSMoonen, to which Damon shot back:
“Thanks Jason 🙂 . Will do :).”
Wayans starred as Coach on New Girl from 2011 through 2016.
He also played a key role on ABC’s criminally underrated Happy Endings and in the movie Let’s Be Cops.
He concluded his back and forth with critics here by writing:
“It was a joke. But feel free to be offended by it.”

Jimmy Kimmel: Down with Trump, Matt Damon AND Meryl Streep!
Jimmy Kimmel had a challenging job as host of the 2017 Academy Awards.
As host, the comedian had to take to the stage just moments after Justin Timberlake – possibly the most popular and talented celebrity in Hollywood – opened the show with his beloved song from "Trolls."
But Kimmel was up for the task, delivering a brisk and hilarious monologue that didn"t shy away from the current political climate… which kept his feud with Matt Damon alive… and which surprisingly took aim at Tinseltown icon Meryl Streep.
Sort of.
In one heartfelt moment, Kimmel turned serious when addressing the divided state of our nation, telling the audience:
“If every person watching this show … if every one of you took a minute to reach out to someone you disagree with, someone you like, and have a positive, considerate conversation – not as liberals and conservatives, but as Americans – we could make America great again.”
Of course, Kimmel also made some actual quips about a certain Commander-in-Chief as well.
“I want to say thank you to President Trump," he said at one point. "Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist? … It’s gone thanks to him.”
And in a quality double diss:
“In Hollywood, we don’t discriminate against people based on what countries they come from. We discriminate on them based on their age and weight.”
Kimmel also noted that actors will give speeches that “the President will tweet about in all caps during his 5 a.m. bowel movement tomorrow.”
Elsewhere, Kimmel taunted Damon"s latest movie, The Great Wall; made an outstanding Mel Gibson joke; and referred to Streep as "mediocre."
Really! He did! In total jest!
Watch the FULL monologue and GRADE KIMMEL AS OSCARS HOST NOW!
