Matt Damon tackles the politics, WMD and Greg Kinnear in this Iraq War picture.
This Friday (March 12) Matt Damon is back to his badass running, gunning and thinking ways with Green Zone. The handsome Oscar-ino (for Best Original Screenplay) teams up with Bourne episodes 2 and 3 director Paul Greengrass for this political blow 'em up.

The al-Maliki government will $2,000 for Sunni and Shiite to wed.
You may or may not know this but the Iraqi government's latest attempt to reconcile disparate factions involves a little matchmaking. According to The Washington Times (and many, many other sources), Nouri al-Maliki's government is paying $2000 to couples willing to cross sect lines and marry someone from the other major branch of Islam. In some countries, it's quite irregular for Shiites and Sunnis to wed. In more secular nations, like pre-invasion Iraq, it was fairly common.

Emotionally drained by "morbid," "irresponsible" Angelina, Brad sulks to Nick Drake.
Who would have thought Brad Pitt to be the persnickety one in the relationship? Last we heard, Brad was having a cow over Angelina's culinary selections for their children (reportedly steaming mad over her red-meat fetish); but like most tabloid hearsay it seems to be much ado about nothing. Case in point, the latest pictures of the seemingly happy couple were shot at a McDonald's drive-through with Papa Pitt at the wheel. Angelina Feeds Children Flesh, Brad "Upset"
Nevertheless, the media has two more stories circulating that detail several specifics on Brad's ever-growing list of … Read More
Her first love found her on Facebook. But is their new romance real, or just fantasy?
The guy I lost my virginity to found me on Facebook a few months ago. I opened my inbox to read, "Is this Teri? If so, hit me back." It was an absurdly casual message, as if he had no idea I associated him with puking from anesthesia in the parking lot of an abortion clinic. The shock I felt when I saw the name Jeffery* in my inbox is a testament to how successful I had been at forgetting everything that happened between us.
I dumped Jeff a few weeks before our sophomore year of high school, … Read More
The CBS war correspondent many have gotten a little loose in Iraq.
You may know Lara Logan as that hot, badass war correspondent for CBS but, according to Jossip, she may also be a home wrecker. In a story straight out of, well, any movie, book, comic, fantasy, or tale involving lady war correspondents, it looks like the boredom and terror of living in a warzone caught up to her.
A woman from Texas, Kimberly Burkett, claims that Logan broke up her marriage to her State Department contractor husband Joe. As much as that sucks, it's a friggin' war and they're human beings. It would have been way … Read More
