Letterman has wedding suggestion for Ben and Matt, Ozzy injured in England, and shoppers say they want Carson! Plus: Diane Sawyer sits down with George and Laura.
Dec 9, 2003 | Matt Damon was on David Letterman last night and Dave asked Matt what was up with his buddy Ben Affleck and that chick J.Lo. Matt said, "Hey, I was just in a writing class with Ben for six weeks, then the movie came out. I don't know the guy." Damon said it was great to meet huge superstars like J.Lo and Cher (who is in Matt's latest movie, "Stuck on You") and find out they are just regular people. "Hey," suggested Dave, "why doesn't Ben marry Jen and you marry Cher?!" "Yeah," replied Matt, "and we can all have a nice quiet double wedding somewhere." It's late-night TV banter at its best, folks.
Poor Ozzy Osbourne keeps getting in fixes. Yesterday he had a terrible all-terrain bike accident that put him in the hospital for emergency surgery after he broke his collarbone, eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck. The Oz was in England promoting a duet he did with his daughter, Kelly. Sharon Osbourne flew to his side from the set of the MTV show they are taping. Do more things happen to families that put their lives on TV? (BBC)
OK, did you know that there is a company called Jericho that goes to malls and asks people who they'd like to shop with and who they'd buy products from? Neither did I. And these surveys always bring up more questions than they answer (like -- did they talk to 10 people or 20,000 and did they offer a set list or could people put down "Leonardo da Vinci"?) But, hey, why be a niggling nitpicker at a time like this? The results of the mall sweep were that most people would adore shopping with "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" fashion guru Carson Kressley and most would shun shopping with "Bachelorette" Trista Rehn. And the queer guys get people into the stores on Wednesdays (the day after the show airs) to buy -- what else? Hair products! The second most preferred shopping pal after Carson was Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The survey didn't say whether these people had hair gel or Humvees on their lists. (Media Life Magazine via I Want Media)
Get out your Pepto, it's a sit-down next week with the kittenish Diane Sawyer and the wannabe cowboy George W. Bush. ABC will air the chat on "Primetime Thursday" Dec. 18. First lady Laura Bush will also join the holiday hoedown. No word yet on whether Diane's other friends the Dixie Chicks were invited. (ABC News)
