Matt Damon Opens Up About His Low-Key Family Life

Matt Damon Opens Up About His Low-Key Family Life
Matt Damon, star of the upcoming film "We Bought a Zoo," opens up about his low-key family life and how he avoids the media madness that plagues some of his famous pals in this Sunday's Parade.

On keeping his life private, especially compared to others in the spotlight:
Brad and Angie, there's much more pressure on them than there is on me. He [Pitt] asked me what my everyday is like. I said, "Well, I grab the kids from school, and then we go over to the park." And he was just looking at me, like, "How can you do that?" Because he can't.

On why he can keep a low profile:
I've been left alone, even by the paparazzi, because what sells is sex and scandal. Absent that, they really don't have much interest in you. I'm still married, still working, still happy.

On being the father of four girls, ranging in age from 13 months to 13 years: Stella, Gia, Isabella, and Alexia, [wife] Luciana Barroso's daughter from a previous marriage:
I jumped into the deep end with Lucy. I mean, Alexia was already 4. I was an extra dad....The only way I can describe it -- it sounds stupid, but -- at the end of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," you know how his heart grows, like, five times its size? Everything is full; it's just full all the time.

On the first Bourne movie, I was in the best shape of my life, and we purposely never did a shot of me with my shirt off. There's one scene where [Bourne's lover] is pulling the shirt over my head, but what the camera sees are the two bullet holes in my back. It's not gratuitous; there's a point to it. I try to stay away from the beefcake shots.[omg.yahoo.com]

Kourtney Kardashian Shares Style Secrets

With her family's many business ventures and reality shows, Kourtney Kardashian is one of Hollywood's busiest moms, yet somehow she still manages to make time for her 21-month-old son, Mason -- and look stylish! Omg! caught up with Kourtney -- who is currently residing in NYC -- at an event for Sony PlayStation's Uncharted 3 in Manhattan, where the 32-year-old reality star shared a few of her parenting and style secrets. 

When it comes to style, what sets you apart from your siblings Kim and Khloe? "I like to be kind of eclectic and bohemian. I love to wear vintage pieces. I have a lot of both of my grandmothers' handbags and jewelry and things that have meaning to me. I even have a lot of my dad's belts. I love mixing prints and always having one thing that sets me apart."

What do you think is the key to effortless fashion? "I am all about [being] effortless, chic, and comfortable, but appropriate for the occasion. I go with what my mood is. You can't think too much about dressing, otherwise it isn't effortless."

How do you balance being a mom with your busy work schedule? "That is definitely my biggest struggle with being a mom because I always want to spend my time with [Mason]. So we go with the flow. I don't keep him on a strict schedule, so we can spend as much time together as possible. If I know I am having a late dinner that night, and my mom is in town, and we all want to go out, I will keep him up. It works for us, but what works for us doesn't work for everyone."

How do you and your boyfriend, Scott Disick, co-parent? "We like to spend as much time together as a family as possible, which I think is important. When I am planning activities with Mason, I always include Scott. We're dying to take Mason to see some shows in New York!"

What's your secret to making sure Mason is on his best behavior when your family is out and about? "He is so good. We've always taken him everywhere with us, and whenever we travel he always comes, so I think just having him thoroughly adapted to everything [at an early age helps]. We're not like, 'Oh, it's a nice restaurant, Mason can't come.' We take him everywhere."

What's next for you? "I think the biggest thing we are doing right now is our Kardashian Kollection for Sears. It is the thing that I am so passionate about right now. I am so excited. We've been seeing tons of people wearing the line, people tweeting us photos it is a dream come true."

Is it really special to share in the success with your sisters? "It is. It wouldnt be as exciting if it wasn't with the three of us together. We all turned to each other on the red carpet at our Sears event and were like, 'Can you guys believe this is happening?'"

Will your youngest sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner have input on the next collection? "I think so! I think they are such fashionistas they should have a line of their own."[omg.yahoo.com ]

Jennifer Hudson's Weight-Loss Secrets

Those of us in need of a little weight-loss inspiration need look no further than Jennifer Hudson. The Oscar winner and former "American Idol" finalist has lost a whopping 80 pounds over the last two years and recently shared her secrets with Self magazine.

Hudson admits in the September issue that she never thought of herself as overweight. "I remember one of my first times on a red carpet, an interviewer asked, 'How does it feel to be plus-sized in Hollywood?' I looked around, like, Who is she talking to? Oh, me? I'm plus-sized?,'" the 29-year-old recalls. "In the neighborhood I'm from in Chicago, a 16 is normal. But in Hollywood, everyone looks exactly the same, so I stood out."

It was during her pregnancy with son David, who's now 2, when Hudson suddenly became inspired to finally revamp her lifestyle to become healthy and fit. "I thought, hold on -- why doesn't anybody know I'm pregnant?," she says. "And I wanted to set a good example for my son. Right after I had him, I began trying to change things."

Just a few days after giving birth to David via cesarean section, she started walking 30 minutes a day -- which became her much-needed time to herself -- and eventually began hitting the gym, jogging, and bike riding. Though she'd gone through three different weight losses before, Hudson decided, this time, to join Weight Watchers (she's also a company spokesperson) to get her eating habits on track after years of trying deprivation diets.

"[I] learned about balance. If you're on a strict diet that says you shouldn't have any carbs or this or that, your body won't function the way it should," Hudson tells the magazine. "I know now that I can eat anything I want and still lose or maintain my weight. It's about portions and balance."

These days, even when the busy mom is pressed for time, she squeezes in exercise, doing a workout called "trilogy" which includes sets of 25 squats, 25 push-ups, and 25 ab moves with minute-long rests in between for a total of 15 minutes. With her new, slimmed-down figure and healthy attitude, Hudson has become a new kind of idol for lots of her fans, but, of course, she's endured criticism as well.

"I can't care about whether I'm too big for some or too small for others. It goes back to how you feel about yourself," she insists. "I like me the way I am. For anyone who wants to lose: Dude, if I can do it, you can do it."[omg.yahoo.com]

Sandra Bullock's Shiny Hair Secret

The ever-ageless Sandra Bullock stepped out at The Change-Up premiere in Los Angeles on August 1 with a few tricks up her sleeve. Not only did the 47-year-old actress surprise her co-star from The Proposal Ryan Reynolds (who also stars in The Change-Up) on the red carpet, but her hair looked exceptionally shiny and healthy.

The star's hair pro for the night, Couture Colour celebrity hairstylist David Babaii, let Us Weekly in on the secret behind her gleaming tresses.

Before whipping out his styling tools to give her a red carpet-worthy 'do, Babaii treated the actress' strands with Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment ($32, couturecolor.com).

The formula, which is derived from the Pequi fruit, is packed with hair-replenishing antioxidants, tames frizz, and helps keep color vibrant. And in addition to being used as a treatment, the oil can also be used during or after styling as a serum.

The best part is that it works on every hair type without weighing down your tresses -- great for whether you have a super-thick mane like Rihanna, finer locks like Kate Bosworth, or strands just like Bullock.[usmagazine.com]
