Hero Matthew McConaughey, who routinely saves kittens, children, and swooning middle-aged women from the brink of death, is auctioning off his 1971 Corvette Stingray Convertible on eBay to benefit Oprah's Angel Network charity. Notice how all the "G"s are removed from the ends of words in the item description to make McConaughey's quotes more believable. It looks like a search and replace job:
"I’ve gone to Mexico & back in it, driven across Texas in it...lotta late night drives...take off at midnight and get on the open highway with the top down...top was very seldom up in my drives. Enough room in the trunk for one persons back pack, or two for real light travel."[via]"I admire and enjoy this car, but it’s a luxury that I’m willin to relinquish at this point because I am fortunate enough to have everythin I need, and the sale of it will help so many with the necessities in life...part of stayin connected with an on-goin cause to help those in need for the long term...besides, I can’t pull my Airstream with it!"
With so many hours of drive time, the car's going to have that authentic McConaughey smell that even the most thorough detailing job won't be able to eliminate.
Here are pictures of the car from eBay and some photos of McConaughey arriving at the ESPY awards on July 12th. [via] He looks like he went biking with Lance and Jake beforehand. If you can't grow a full beard, don't bother.
Matthew McConaughey sometimes lives in an airstream trailer, doesn't use deodorant, and has been involved in several well-documented incidents of heroism.
In this latest story of McConaughey's giving spirit, he hung out with a bunch of young people with cerebral palsy and was kind, patient and cool with them. OMG I love him!:
According to Laurel Ridge Elementary principal Mark Gordon, McConaughey told them he has a relative with cerebral palsy and was able to “talk” with the kids who rely on communication devices.
We’re told that before resuming his run, the actor even helped to load the school’s coolers back on board the bus.
Noted Gordon in an e-mail: “The teachers really enjoyed it!”
That's awesome and what a shame that McConaughey is single now. ;)

Mark Wahlberg, aka Marky Mark, almost was on one of the 9/11 flights that were hijacked on that tragic day. He had a flight booked, but changed his mind and flew out of Toronto instead. Wikipedia says that he rebooked the flight just a day before - on September 10th. He said the decision still haunts him:
It's a good thing that he changed his mind about his travel plans. Chances are he and his friends would have died too.
Mark has two children with his girlfriend, model Rhea Durham. They have a daughter, Ella Rae, born on September 2, 2003, and a son, Michael, born on March 21, 2006.
The header picture is recent. Sure he's gained some weight, but he's a dad now and he can lose it again. Picture [via]

Gwyneth Paltrow's dad, Bruce Paltrow, died of cancer in October, 2002. The actress was heartbroken at the loss of her father, but soon found some comfort in the arms of her future husband, Chris Martin. It recently came out that Bruce was suffering in his final months, and couldn't swallow to drink or eat while he was directing the film "Duets," which starred Gwyneth. She kept her brave father's condition a secret, as he did not want to worry the cast or crew:
But the dedicated dad "did not want people to know the pain he was in... It was just excruciating."
Danner also said that her late husband bravely tried to advise other cancer sufferers in the months before he lost his life. Danner says, "The doctors loved him. He would speak to patients across the country about what to expect. He became a very good campaigner for stopping smoking."
"When he saw friends smoking, he would show them his big scar and say, 'You want to look like this in 20 years?'"
That's sad news about her father and we'll to refrain from making fun of the pretentious actress in this post.
Paltrow gave birth to her second child, a boy named Mortimer Moses, two weeks ago, and looks like she's going out for a pedicure in these pictures taken yesterday in New York.

Proving that her charity knows no bounds and is on a different level entirely than the lame attempts by her boyfriend to save the world, Angelina Jolie is planning to buy a country in Dubai and set it up for African refugees. The Bosh reports:
And the 55-year-old entrepreneur is selling parts of the 'world' to anyone rich enough to afford them. The 30-year-old actress, who is due to give birth early in May, is reportedly planning to turn her new purchase into a fair-trade paradise for hundreds of Africans.
A source said: "Angelina has been obsessed with Ethiopia ever since she adopted her second child Zahara from there. Her friends are very jealous of her purchase."
Jolie will also take out an ad in USA Today next week begging for the US to intervene in the long-standing genocide in The Sudan:
The US could have stepped in and stopped the violence in the Sudan long ago, but the neocons decided they wanted the oil in Iraq and choose to invent a genocide over there. Saddam Hussein may have gassed Kurds in the 80s, but US news outlets downplayed the event at the time. Now an actual genocide has been happening in The Sudan for about three years and no one is doing a thing about it. Saving hundreds of thousands of lives would have cost a fraction of the total of the Iraq war, but no one has given it any attention. Ironically that's why we pay attention to celebrities. It's easier than dealing with the tragedy and hypocrisy of the real world, and we're just as guilty as anyone.
Brad is gearing up his own philanthropic efforts. He will join "environmental group Global Green USA to sponsor a competition that will choose architects to rebuild parts of hurricane-devastated New Orleans."
Back to our regularly scheduled gossip.

Matthew McConaughey pulled his car over and stopped a bunch of kids from setting a cat on fire in California. He saved the poor cat and gave the kids a verbal lashing:
As if being hot wasn't enough, this is not the first time McConaughey has acted the hero. He scared off a coyote from a toddler last year, and once performed mouth-to-mouth resusitation on a woman who had fainted.
McConaughy's two year relationship with Penelope Cruz may be in trouble. The two are said to have possibly split after spending a good deal of time apart.

26 year-old James Ransone, who is currently featured in the movie "Inside Man" and has appeared on several episodes of CSI, heard a woman screaming in his apartment building and came to her rescue. He was horrified to see that she was about to be raped, and quickly took action:
The would-be rapist took off on Eldridge Street with Ransone - who at a slim 5-foot-9 is not exactly physically threatening - chasing after him.
"I looked north and south and saw him running," Ransone recalls. As he ran after the attacker, he passed a friend walking his dog and called for him to join in the chase. "I screamed, 'Follow me! This girl almost got raped!' "
Ransone caught up with the assailant as he entered a building on Allen Street. He broke a glass door to get at the perp and then cracked him on the back with the metal bar.
"I said, 'You rapist piece of [bleep]' and heard a crack when I hit his shoulder blade," Ransone says. "He mimed taking out a gun and said, 'Do you want to go to jail?' - and made a bee-line for the door.
"I cried, 'I'm not done with you yet' and kept swinging," Ransone says. Then the cops arrived and the attacker disappeared into the building. An arrest is expected soon.
Ransone said "he did what anybody would have done," but he clearly went beyond the call of duty. The police were congratulatory and told Ransone he would make a good officer. He's sure to get more work after his heroic act was profiled by Page Six.

Brad Pitt narrates a new PBS documentary, Rx for Child Survival - A Global Health Challenge, about people saving lives through healthcare initiatives.
In an interview published in TV Guide, Pitt emphasizes the program's intention - that we can all help out in small but measurable ways:
Did you learn anything from Rx for Survival? I did. I learned about how simple some of the solutions can be, like adding vitamin A to a child's diet prevents river blindness. As the documentary shows, vitamin A costs 2 cents for a dose. A bed net [to prevent malaria] is a third the price of a CD. These things aren't out of reach.
Are you planning any more humanitarian trips right now? What's next? No. My plan right now is to have a child.
Brad helps bring us from the fantasy world of Paris' lazy eye to the reality of children needing basic medical care and supplies.
We don't think it was just Bono who inspired his charity work, though.
The Rx for Change Website offers ways to help out:
