Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are proof that two people can use each other to get famous and not end up hating each other. In fact, they can continue to adore each other, while continuing to get more famous. Separately.
And then they can use each other again, in new ways, as they get older and still more famous.
Such was the case Saturday night, when Ben and Matt brought Jennifer Garner and Luciana Barroso out to dinner for an evening of joke-telling, 'entertaining the girls with stories,' and reminiscing on the days when they
were just two Massachusetts boys struggling to get a lucky break in big
bad Hollywood.
Ah, yes, the good ole days. If only they could go back...
Britney Spears may not be fit enough to win back her kids, but according to MTV, she is fit enough to earn another shot at the VMAs.
'Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?' MTV President (who sounds like a German officer) Van Toffler recently told reporters.
How you know you're famous and Britney Spears is when a common slogan gets changed because it's referring to you.
I mean, this slogan has been around for roughly 2000 years (okay, I just made that up, but it sounds about right), and yet it has never, until now, included the words 'or third chance.'
In case, by some lucky chance, you missed Brit's shitastic performance
at the VMAs last year, check out her the trainwreckage above for
a refresher.

Jessica Simpson unknowingly waged war on Pamela Anderson by mocking the one cause that Pam actually cares about.
No, no, Jessica did not speak out against tattoos or heroin, Playboy or amateur porn. Not even silicone implants. Homegirl merely sported the big fat letters 'REAL GIRLS EAT MEAT,' during a recent trip to the steakhouse.
Words like fire to America's most iconic sex pin-up, who responded by calling Jessica a 'bitch' and a 'whore' during her interview with an Australian radio station today.
'It's the first time I've heard about
it,' Pam spat. 'She wasn't referring to cows and chickens...she was talking about,
you know, men.'
After Pam was done calling the kettle black, the eloquent cat redeemed herself for a brief moment of passionate chitchat about her devotion to PETA.
'I think it's healthy, good for your body, and good for the environment,' she said, and I was almost impressed with what sounded like brainpower.
But in a blink of an eye, the shining moment passed, and Pam was back to discussing her 'hard nipples.'
Radio host: 'Is it true that in high school a guy poured water down your shirt and said 'now maybe your boobs will grow.'
Pam: 'Yes! How did you know that? And my nipples have been hard ever since.'
Something about John Mayer seems to bring out the inner poser chameleon in the women he dates. Take, for instance, the gothic transformation we saw Jessica Simpson undergo when she was dating John a year ago or the idolatry Minka Kelly felt for the guitar-toting pretty boy before he dumped her.
The question now is: will Jennifer Aniston be the next lady to adopt John's identity and shed her own? Or is there something more halfway going on between them?
A little conformity is visible in both parties. On the one hand, we've got John looking more preppy (um, obviously not in above photo), getting to know Jen's friends, and supposedly talking about being 'really in love' with Jen.
Then we've got Jen contemplating her first tattoo, looking way too happy, and jet-setting around to John's concerts. Girlfriend even pulled a Jessica-Simpson-like quest into her 'artistic' side this weekend. But instead of doing it with hair dye and red lipstick, Jen's picked up a little photography habit.
After showing up at John's London concert on Saturday, Jen spent almost the entire 45-minute show snapping picture after picture of her new boyfriend as he whined into the microphone on stage.
But until she picks up a guitar ... or John starts doing yoga ... the jury is still out on who's wearing the pants in this ring.
Demure is not a word I would typically apply to Britney Spears, but it's really what works best at describing the popwreck's face as she leaves Sur Restaurant in Hollywood Friday night.
Was the Britster feeling sorrowful? Feigning inner peace as part of her 'I'm ready to be a full-time mom again' schtick? Or just suffering one of those 'f*ck-I-ate-too-much' food comas?
We may never know the answer to these burning questions. But one thing we do know is that 24-hours later, Brit's frown was turned upside down. For the first time in six months, the divorced mama got to spend a full night with Sean and Jayden.
The toddlers were dropped off Saturday but, alas, K-Fed's messenger was back to reclaim the baby daddy's financial assets loved ones by 10 AM Sunday morn. And, according to reports, the parting was sweet sorrow for our favorite trainwreck.
'Britney was very upset after the kids left,' a friend tells Us Magazine. 'She now does not know when she will get them next for an overnight.
She complains it could be next week, or it could be three months.'
Oh, Brit. Look on the bright side. At least you didn't throw a manic fit and end up in the hospital again this time!
Kristen Dunst, who may or may not be boinking co-star Ryan Gosling, was spotted roaming the streets of New York while on break from filming Good Things on Saturday. The recently rehabbed starlet smoked and blackberry messaged, faux smiled/waved at the paparazzi, met up with some pals, and gave her most pathetic attempt at hailing a cab before getting drenched in summer rain.
Amy Winehouse was obviously Queen of the Glastonbury Music Festival, but she wasn't the only British wreckage to wash up at the art bash.
Usual suspects included Lily Allen - who chatted up James Blunt, Kate Moss - who watched her ugly boyfriend Jamie Hince sing, and Jay-Z - who managed to headline the festival despite being shat on by bothAmy Winehouse and Oasis, who think he sucks.
Because Jay-Z performing at the Glastonbury Festival - which has a rock n roll tradition - would be like David Beckham playing American football.
Perhaps that's why the festival didn't sell out for the first time in 15 years!
