Rumour Clinic

Welcome to the Rumour Clinic! I've been hearing a bunch of rumours about everything Matt...so I'm going to post as many of them as I can. I am somewhat hesistant to post Dogma rumours, because I have in my links section a link to a great Dogma site, but I'll try to post what I can. Here are a few rumours I've heard:

Rumours: ENGAGEMENT (Jan, 8, 2000) A flurry of readers sent me panicked e-mails over the Christmas holidays that they heard that Matt and Winona had gotten engaged! Well, there's been no confirmation on either part and since Matt and Winona didn't actually spend New Year's together, it leads me to wonder...ah well, I just work here.
MORE RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS: Unsurprisingly enough, more rumours have been cropping up about Ben and Gwn's breakup. Here's the latest from E-online sent in by Julia:
The Spy Who Didn't Love Me
I have it.
The reason.
Why snot-thing Gwyneth Paltrow and dude-thing Ben Affleck called it quits. Actually, I should say the reasons, and they occurred a few months ago: Fade in on the Italian set of The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring G.P. and B.A.'s bestest pal, Matt Damon. Winona Ryder--who's ridin' Damon, sorta, for the moment--is there, along with Ben, making it a young-Hollywood foursome. It was quite the red-cheeked salon, my foreign correspondents report back to me. But Ben-babe is nonetheless bored. Now, think back a bit to when I was reporting how Affleck was affected by Paltrow's affected ways, how he's always been a bit put out by her prissiness and stiffiness. Ya with me? Good. So, there's B.A., messin' around on his PC. Emailin' back to the States with a pal of his who's really giving Mr. Young Movie Star a hard time. As in:
"You dog, you'll never stay loyal to her." Or: "You're too restless with her, you're gonna wander away."
Well, doll faces, are you on the edges of your keyboards waiting to hear how Ben responded? (I know I was.)
"I think you're right," was the answer the hunk sent back.
Now, keep in mind, the hunk's been loyal up to this point. He's merely projecting. But, here's the real coup d' Gwyneth, you might say:
"I don't think I like her enough to stay loyal," Affleck wrote. "I don't know if I ever will like her that much."
Understandable on his part (doncha think?), since even viewing G.P. onscreen I'd say is the equivalent to watching yeast not rise. Hang on, it gets messier: What went down next, according to sources on the set and very deep inside the Salon d' Foursome, was some serious penetration. You heard me right. Armed with Ben's password, G.P. went into his computer and read all of his back emails, thus arming herself with enough Paltrow-chilliness to freeze Uranus. (I'm sure she was only looking for his special brownie recipe.) Which is exactly what she did--stayed frozen with this knowledge throughout the holidays and, contrary to published reports, did not break up with Ben until a week ago.
Before then, there were simply too many social obligations to attend stag. And that's the truth, awful as it is. Better guard that password a little better next time, Ben. Or your mouth. P. Scoop (A little golden statuette tells me Ben & Gwyn are attending the Globes together this weekend--won't that little stunt send my type atwitter?)

RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS, ACT II: Thanks to Katie for sending in this item, from Ted Casablanca at E!Online:
Brittle Women
Now, two gals who have had bodily contact:
"She's really afraid of her."
--Well-paid colleague of Winona Ryder, who's apparently not as impressed with Gwyneth Paltrow as is Winona's beau (what time is it?), Matt Damon
"They are not close," said the high-level Ryder coworker. "This business that they're best buds is totally false. Believe me, Winona fears Gywneth."
Apparently, incidents of both major and minor proportion have led to this pathos:
"Little things, like Gywneth's not returning jewelry she borrowed from Winona, have bothered her," said the source. "But, big picture, I know she doesn't trust her. Particularly where Matt's concerned."
I dunno, Winone. Matt doesn't exactly have a great leash on his love life, so I wouldn't go blamin' Gwyn-babe fer everything.
My insider has a similar opinion:
"I wouldn't really worry about what all this Matt/Gwyneth business says about Gywneth and Winona. Now, Matt and Ben is a much bigger issue. What does this say about their friendship?
Maybe a lot. Maybe nothing. After all, even Ben has been not so discreetly badmouthing Gwyn--even to the press--calling her "elitist" (a description she loathes, most likely because it's true) and sundry snotty retorts.
So, maybe Matt's just a friend doing what friends do best: taking unpleasant situations off each other's hands (or wherever).
Girl bullet: Among other things I hear from those who know G.P. well is the chilly beauty had a very strange relationship with mama Blythe Danner, wherein both competed for the attention of dad/husband Bruce Paltrow. A bit tired but still pretty spooky.
Boy bullet: Matt Damon just got his salary confirmed for Billy Bob Thornton's western, All the Pretty Horses. Are ya ready? Try 5.5 million horseshoes.
Hmmm. Lotso five-os in Matty's life right now. Like the nearly 50 percent drop in Rounders last week. Maybe he can lasso more box-office goers fer this pic?

RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS: An item from Cyber Sleaze, sent in by Katie:
•SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY ROTTEN IN THE LAND OF GWEN AND WINONA: OK people, hold onto your seats. I've got some seriously hot scoopage on the state of the two Hollywood uber couples GWENETH PALTROW and BEN AFFLECK and WINONA RYDER and MATT DAMON. Apparently something is very rotten in the state of - Texas?? Well my super reliable source BARBARA down in Austin tells me that SANDRA BULLOCK was squiring around none other than GWENETH's supposed hunk BEN AFFLECK the other day. And we are not talking out and around town downing some beers. We are talking let me give you a guided tour of my house - including the room that features a lovely saddle that hangs from the ceiling and spins like a disco ball. Ewwww. Why the sudden closeness between the two we do not know. What it means - we do not know. We DO know that Ben and Sandy are co-starring in an upcoming flick set in Savannah but I get the drift that they were being a bit more chummy than - umm- costars. This might lead one to wonder, "Where the hell was Gweneth when all this canoodling was taking place???" And the answer would be - in Europe with (gasp) MATT DAMON. Yes, that would the same Matt Damon who is supposedly dating and co-habitating with her best friend WINONA "easy" RYDER. With friends like these... And word from Europe is that Matt and Gwen are pretty cozy, cozy. As in they are doing some major hot and heavy canoodling themselves. Woah. Which brings us to young Winona (who we hear looks absolutely fabulous in the new WOODY ALLEN movie). I was mistaken the other day when I said that she was accompanied to the FREE TIBET movie premiere by a member of THIRD EYE BLIND. What I meant to say was that she was escorted by BILLIE JOE whassisface frontman guy from GREEN DAY. And according to TED CASABLANCA of E! Billie also escorted young Winona to the MTV AWARDS and they were looking pretty loved-up there as well. Nevermind the fact the Billie is married and expecting his second child. Nevermind that Winona used to seriously date Billie's bandmate TRE COOL. Nevermind that all of these people are supposed to be "best of friends". The whole damn thing is even worse than The Starr Report. I feel so dirty.

ALL THE PRETTY HORSES: Well, hot rumours insist that Penelope Cruz will be Matt's leading lady...a hot Spanish star, she's an actress and model...

Matt's new leading lady? Click on pic to see her fan page.

Plot:
While rescuing a person from a careening truck, young Matt Murdock is struck in the head by a cannister of some unknown radioactive material. Murdock is blinded, but also, strangely, given radar-like abilities that allow him to "see." Years later, as a very successful lawyer, Murdock takes on the red devil costume of Daredevil to fight crime in the streets.
The Buzz:
Marvel is currently in talks with Disney about a big screen live-action version of their comic character Daredevil, according to the Detroit News Comic Book Continuum. It is reported that the rights reverted back to Marvel after the Chris Columbus Daredevil project at Fox fell through. A major problem that stands in the way of the project progressing beyond the talking stage is Marvel's never-ending financial woes.
Players:
Matt Damon as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil (rumored)
Crew:
Kevin Smith / Screenwriter (rumored)
A possible new movie in the works? This is all I've heard from Cinescape...
ENGAGMENT??: Well, rumours are flying. So are Matt and Winona engaged or what? This is what Ted Casablanca (a gossip columnist) had to say:
First, I hear from the hot-hot-hot Matt Damon-Winona Ryder camp that an engagement has been decided and will soon be announced to the Joe Blows of the world (having already been announced to the couple's Yo!-Yo!s). Congrats, you two! (Particularly to you, Winona, you little Warren Beatty-ette. I mean, let's just be frank here...everyone knows it's you who've been teaching Gwyneth P a thing or two in the love department, not vice versa. Up until Ben, that is.) Sorry if I spoiled the happy news, but, hey, it's my gig. By the by, that spoiling's not the reason I got a big ol' denial from the Ryder folk, is it? (Alas, like oven buns, the timer will tell.)
Indeed the timer will tell. Gretchen e-mailed me to say that she heard on E!'s gossip show that Winona is cautious about engagement since the thing with Johnny Depp. I'll wait until the official announcement.
Nilrake informs me that she has heard that Winona just bought a house for two million dollars are is trying to convince Matt to move in with her.
(Above added April, 11th/98.)

E! reports that Winona and Matt have been seen jogging together every Saturday morning for the past few weeks.
Pheobe reports that the cast of Dogma are staying at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, and they are filming at an old Catholic Church in East Liberty.
The next time you see Matt, he may be in his undies: And not in your dreams either! I've been told by many sources that Matt is under negotiations to do an underwear campaign for none other than Calvin Klein!
Zentertainment reports that James Cameron (better known as "the King of the World") is considering Ben for Spiderman. (Wonder if Matt will get a cameo role in that? Seems he and Ben are in every movie together nowadays...)
Someone tells me that Ben and Gwyneth have broken up?
(Above added April, 10th/98.)

The following, sent in by Kim: The Unlikely Link Between Metallica And Matt Damon
In six-degrees-of-separation news, there appears to be a unique, if not immediately obvious, connection between Oscar nominee and Hollywood golden boy Matt Damon and metal mainstays Metallica. Damon recently told "Movieline" magazine that the love of his life was a doctor with whom he had carried on a long-distance relationship for years. Damon would not reveal the name of the woman, but did tell the magazine that she went on to marry "a f***ing rock star who's got $80 million and his own jet... a bad rock star too." Those who have seen Damon's multiple Oscar-nominated film "Good Will Hunting" will recall that the actor/screenwriter's on-screen love interest in that movie is also a doctor played by Minnie Driver. Damon has denied that the character is not named after anyone in real life, but Driver's character (named Skylar) shares the same first name and occupation as the wife of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. A publicist for Metallica confirmed that the drummer's wife is in fact Damon's old flame. For the record, the normally loquacious Lars had no comment on being dissed by Damon.
Hmm, interesting.
Report was that Matt has since broken it off with Winona and was last seen "cozying" up to Calista Flockheart from Ally McBeal in an L.A. restaurant. Rather odd! (Courtesy of Kim.)
Jude Law (Gattaca) and Cate Blanchett (Oscar & Lucinda) are in final talks to join Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cast of director Anthony Minghella's adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith mystery THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. Production on the film is expected to be pushed back from this spring to the fall to allow for the actors prior commitments. (Zentertainment.)
Gwyneth Paltrow is set to co-star in Mr. Ripley...
Apparently Matt and the rest of the cast were invited to the White House for a showing of Good Will Hunting! Way to go...
Reportedly Matt's next project after Mr. Ripley will be a movie with Samuel L. Jackson, called Training Day.
MINNIE AND MATT: All, right, everyone's been asking about the Minnie and Matt relationship break-up...why? how? Here are some views:
Pro-Minnie: Matt broke up with her on Oprah.
Pro-Matt: There's a story about how Minnie's publicist would constantly tell the public about their dates together, no matter how spontaneous they were. Matt became irritated because the reporters were always there, so Matt broke up with her because of it.
Well, it's all up to you to decide now. I personally go for the one about the publicist, because it doesn't really point fingers at Matt or Minnie, and instead blames someone whose name we don't know anyway. Good luck puzzling out this mess.
In The Talented Mr. Ripley Matt is to play a bisexual psychotic.
The storyline of Mr. Ripley is this: the rich father of Matt's prodigious friend sends him after the son (who will be played by Jude Law) to bring him back to Italy. Matt instead pretends to be the son, living his posh life and having his beautiful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow.)
Saving Private Ryan will be filmed in England, precise location to come soon...
One of my sources reports this: Supposedly, a close "source" says that Matt and Minnie's break -up was more or less amicable, but not fully mutally decided. While Matt wanted to really work on the relationship, despite how far apart and busy they would be, Minnie preferred a looser-styled relatiponship, with a "We'll see how things come along without us meddling too much in it" attitude. Supposesdly the final straw was when Minnie went to Barbados for the holidays and didn't tell Matt. When she arrived back, they broke it off, although Minnie still wanted to have a go at it. The guy on the radio said that is why she didn't show up to the OPRAH interview-she was too heartbroken to see him.
MATT AND WINONA: Several stories are coming to me about Matt and Winona Ryder's relationship! Apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow (who is currently dating Ben Affleck), set them up. Hmm...; MORE RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS: Unsurprisingly enough, more rumours have been cropping up about Ben and Gwn's breakup. Here's the latest from E-online sent in by Julia:

What I meant to say was that she was escorted by BILLIE JOE whassisface frontman guy from GREEN DAY. And according to TED CASABLANCA of E! Billie also escorted young Winona to the MTV AWARDS and they were looking pretty loved-up there as well. Nevermind the fact the Billie is married and expecting his second child. Nevermind that Winona used to seriously date Billie's bandmate TRE COOL. Nevermind that all of these people are supposed to be "best of friends". The whole damn thing is even worse than The Starr Report. I feel so dirty.

ALL THE PRETTY HORSES: Well, hot rumours insist that Penelope Cruz will be Matt's leading lady...a hot Spanish star, she's an actress and model...

Matt's new leading lady? Click on pic to see her fan page.

Plot:
While rescuing a person from a careening truck, young Matt Murdock is struck in the head by a cannister of some unknown radioactive material. Murdock is blinded, but also, strangely, given radar-like abilities that allow him to "see." Years later, as a very successful lawyer, Murdock takes on the red devil costume of Daredevil to fight crime in the streets.
The Buzz:
Marvel is currently in talks with Disney about a big screen live-action version of their comic character Daredevil, according to the Detroit News Comic Book Continuum. It is reported that the rights reverted back to Marvel after the Chris Columbus Daredevil project at Fox fell through. A major problem that stands in the way of the project progressing beyond the talking stage is Marvel's never-ending financial woes.
Players:
Matt Damon as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil (rumored)
Crew:
Kevin Smith / Screenwriter (rumored)
A possible new movie in the works? This is all I've heard from Cinescape...
ENGAGMENT??: Well, rumours are flying. So are Matt and Winona engaged or what? This is what Ted Casablanca (a gossip columnist) had to say:
First, I hear from the hot-hot-hot Matt Damon-Winona Ryder camp that an engagement has been decided and will soon be announced to the Joe Blows of the world (having already been announced to the couple's Yo!-Yo!s). Congrats, you two! (Particularly to you, Winona, you little Warren Beatty-ette. I mean, let's just be frank here...everyone knows it's you who've been teaching Gwyneth P a thing or two in the love department, not vice versa. Up until Ben, that is.) Sorry if I spoiled the happy news, but, hey, it's my gig. By the by, that spoiling's not the reason I got a big ol' denial from the Ryder folk, is it? (Alas, like oven buns, the timer will tell.)
Indeed the timer will tell. Gretchen e-mailed me to say that she heard on E!'s gossip show that Winona is cautious about engagement since the thing with Johnny Depp. I'll wait until the official announcement.
Nilrake informs me that she has heard that Winona just bought a house for two million dollars are is trying to convince Matt to move in with her.
(Above added April, 11th/98.)

E! reports that Winona and Matt have been seen jogging together every Saturday morning for the past few weeks.
Pheobe reports that the cast of Dogma are staying at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, and they are filming at an old Catholic Church in East Liberty.
The next time you see Matt, he may be in his undies: And not in your dreams either! I've been told by many sources that Matt is under negotiations to do an underwear campaign for none other than Calvin Klein!
Zentertainment reports that James Cameron (better known as "the King of the World") is considering Ben for Spiderman. (Wonder if Matt will get a cameo role in that? Seems he and Ben are in every movie together nowadays...)
Someone tells me that Ben and Gwyneth have broken up?

The following, sent in by Kim: The Unlikely Link Between Metallica And Matt Damon
In six-degrees-of-separation news, there appears to be a unique, if not immediately obvious, connection between Oscar nominee and Hollywood golden boy Matt Damon and metal mainstays Metallica. Damon recently told "Movieline" magazine that the love of his life was a doctor with whom he had carried on a long-distance relationship for years. Damon would not reveal the name of the woman, but did tell the magazine that she went on to marry "a f***ing rock star who's got $80 million and his own jet... a bad rock star too." Those who have seen Damon's multiple Oscar-nominated film "Good Will Hunting" will recall that the actor/screenwriter's on-screen love interest in that movie is also a doctor played by Minnie Driver. Damon has denied that the character is not named after anyone in real life, but Driver's character (named Skylar) shares the same first name and occupation as the wife of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. A publicist for Metallica confirmed that the drummer's wife is in fact Damon's old flame. For the record, the normally loquacious Lars had no comment on being dissed by Damon.
Hmm, interesting.
Report was that Matt has since broken it off with Winona and was last seen "cozying" up to Calista Flockheart from Ally McBeal in an L.A. restaurant. Rather odd! (Courtesy of Kim.)
Jude Law (Gattaca) and Cate Blanchett (Oscar & Lucinda) are in final talks to join Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cast of director Anthony Minghella's adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith mystery THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. Production on the film is expected to be pushed back from this spring to the fall to allow for the actors prior commitments. (Zentertainment.)
Gwyneth Paltrow is set to co-star in Mr. Ripley...
Apparently Matt and the rest of the cast were invited to the White House for a showing of Good Will Hunting! Way to go...
Reportedly Matt's next project after Mr. Ripley will be a movie with Samuel L. Jackson, called Training Day.
MINNIE AND MATT: All, right, everyone's been asking about the Minnie and Matt relationship break-up...why? how? Here are some views:
Pro-Minnie: Matt broke up with her on Oprah.
Pro-Matt: There's a story about how Minnie's publicist would constantly tell the public about their dates together, no matter how spontaneous they were. Matt became irritated because the reporters were always there, so Matt broke up with her because of it.
Well, it's all up to you to decide now. I personally go for the one about the publicist, because it doesn't really point fingers at Matt or Minnie, and instead blames someone whose name we don't know anyway. Good luck puzzling out this mess.
In The Talented Mr. Ripley Matt is to play a bisexual psychotic.
The storyline of Mr. Ripley is this: the rich father of Matt's prodigious friend sends him after the son (who will be played by Jude Law) to bring him back to Italy. Matt instead pretends to be the son, living his posh life and having his beautiful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow.)
Saving Private Ryan will be filmed in England, precise location to come soon...
One of my sources reports this: Supposedly, a close "source" says that Matt and Minnie's break -up was more or less amicable, but not fully mutally decided. While Matt wanted to really work on the relationship, despite how far apart and busy they would be, Minnie preferred a looser-styled relatiponship, with a "We'll see how things come along without us meddling too much in it" attitude. Supposesdly the final straw was when Minnie went to Barbados for the holidays and didn't tell Matt. When she arrived back, they broke it off, although Minnie still wanted to have a go at it. The guy on the radio said that is why she didn't show up to the OPRAH interview-she was too heartbroken to see him.
MATT AND WINONA: Several stories are coming to me about Matt and Winona Ryder's relationship! Apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow (who is currently dating Ben Affleck), set them up. Hmm...; RELATIONSHIP RUMOURS: An item from Cyber Sleaze, sent in by Katie:
•SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY ROTTEN IN THE LAND OF GWEN AND WINONA: OK people, hold onto your seats. I've got some seriously hot scoopage on the state of the two Hollywood uber couples GWENETH PALTROW and BEN AFFLECK and WINONA RYDER and MATT DAMON. Apparently something is very rotten in the state of - Texas?? Well my super reliable source BARBARA down in Austin tells me that SANDRA BULLOCK was squiring around none other than GWENETH's supposed hunk BEN AFFLECK the other day. And we are not talking out and around town downing some beers. We are talking let me give you a guided tour of my house - including the room that features a lovely saddle that hangs from the ceiling and spins like a disco ball. Ewwww. Why the sudden closeness between the two we do not know. What it means - we do not know. We DO know that Ben and Sandy are co-starring in an upcoming flick set in Savannah but I get the drift that they were being a bit more chummy than - umm- costars. This might lead one to wonder, "Where the hell was Gweneth when all this canoodling was taking place???" And the answer would be - in Europe with (gasp) MATT DAMON. Yes, that would the same Matt Damon who is supposedly dating and co-habitating with her best friend WINONA "easy" RYDER. With friends like these... And word from Europe is that Matt and Gwen are pretty cozy, cozy. As in they are doing some major hot and heavy canoodling themselves. Woah. Which brings us to young Winona (who we hear looks absolutely fabulous in the new WOODY ALLEN movie). I was mistaken the other day when I said that she was accompanied to the FREE TIBET movie premiere by a member of THIRD EYE BLIND. What I meant to say was that she was escorted by BILLIE JOE whassisface frontman guy from GREEN DAY. And according to TED CASABLANCA of E!

In six-degrees-of-separation news, there appears to be a unique, if not immediately obvious, connection between Oscar nominee and Hollywood golden boy Matt Damon and metal mainstays Metallica. Damon recently told "Movieline" magazine that the love of his life was a doctor with whom he had carried on a long-distance relationship for years. Damon would not reveal the name of the woman, but did tell the magazine that she went on to marry "a f***ing rock star who's got $80 million and his own jet... a bad rock star too." Those who have seen Damon's multiple Oscar-nominated film "Good Will Hunting" will recall that the actor/screenwriter's on-screen love interest in that movie is also a doctor played by Minnie Driver. Damon has denied that the character is not named after anyone in real life, but Driver's character (named Skylar) shares the same first name and occupation as the wife of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. A publicist for Metallica confirmed that the drummer's wife is in fact Damon's old flame. For the record, the normally loquacious Lars had no comment on being dissed by Damon.
Hmm, interesting.
Report was that Matt has since broken it off with Winona and was last seen "cozying" up to Calista Flockheart from Ally McBeal in an L.A. restaurant. Rather odd! (Courtesy of Kim.)
Jude Law (Gattaca) and Cate Blanchett (Oscar & Lucinda) are in final talks to join Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cast of director Anthony Minghella's adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith mystery THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. Production on the film is expected to be pushed back from this spring to the fall to allow for the actors prior commitments. (Zentertainment.)
Gwyneth Paltrow is set to co-star in Mr. Ripley...
Apparently Matt and the rest of the cast were invited to the White House for a showing of Good Will Hunting! Way to go...
Reportedly Matt's next project after Mr. Ripley will be a movie with Samuel L. Jackson, called Training Day.
MINNIE AND MATT: All, right, everyone's been asking about the Minnie and Matt relationship break-up...why? how? Here are some views:
Pro-Minnie: Matt broke up with her on Oprah.
Pro-Matt: There's a story about how Minnie's publicist would constantly tell the public about their dates together, no matter how spontaneous they were. Matt became irritated because the reporters were always there, so Matt broke up with her because of it.
Well, it's all up to you to decide now. I personally go for the one about the publicist, because it doesn't really point fingers at Matt or Minnie, and instead blames someone whose name we don't know anyway. Good luck puzzling out this mess.
In The Talented Mr. Ripley Matt is to play a bisexual psychotic.
The storyline of Mr. Ripley is this: the rich father of Matt's prodigious friend sends him after the son (who will be played by Jude Law) to bring him back to Italy. Matt instead pretends to be the son, living his posh life and having his beautiful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow.)
Saving Private Ryan will be filmed in England, precise location to come soon...
One of my sources reports this: Supposedly, a close "source" says that Matt and Minnie's break -up was more or less amicable, but not fully mutally decided. While Matt wanted to really work on the relationship, despite how far apart and busy they would be, Minnie preferred a looser-styled relatiponship, with a "We'll see how things come along without us meddling too much in it" attitude. Supposesdly the final straw was when Minnie went to Barbados for the holidays and didn't tell Matt. When she arrived back, they broke it off, although Minnie still wanted to have a go at it. The guy on the radio said that is why she didn't show up to the OPRAH interview-she was too heartbroken to see him.
MATT AND WINONA: Several stories are coming to me about Matt and Winona Ryder's relationship! Apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow (who is currently dating Ben Affleck), set them up. Hmm...; Nilrake informs me that she has heard that Winona just bought a house for two million dollars are is trying to convince Matt to move in with her.
(Above added April, 11th/98.)

E! reports that Winona and Matt have been seen jogging together every Saturday morning for the past few weeks.
Pheobe reports that the cast of Dogma are staying at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, and they are filming at an old Catholic Church in East Liberty.
The next time you see Matt, he may be in his undies: And not in your dreams either! I've been told by many sources that Matt is under negotiations to do an underwear campaign for none other than Calvin Klein!
Zentertainment reports that James Cameron (better known as "the King of the World") is considering Ben for Spiderman. (Wonder if Matt will get a cameo role in that? Seems he and Ben are in every movie together nowadays...)
Someone tells me that Ben and Gwyneth have broken up?

Well, it's all up to you to decide now. I personally go for the one about the publicist, because it doesn't really point fingers at Matt or Minnie, and instead blames someone whose name we don't know anyway. Good luck puzzling out this mess.
In The Talented Mr. Ripley Matt is to play a bisexual psychotic.
The storyline of Mr. Ripley is this: the rich father of Matt's prodigious friend sends him after the son (who will be played by Jude Law) to bring him back to Italy. Matt instead pretends to be the son, living his posh life and having his beautiful girlfriend (Gwyneth Paltrow.)
Saving Private Ryan will be filmed in England, precise location to come soon...
One of my sources reports this: Supposedly, a close "source" says that Matt and Minnie's break -up was more or less amicable, but not fully mutally decided. While Matt wanted to really work on the relationship, despite how far apart and busy they would be, Minnie preferred a looser-styled relatiponship, with a "We'll see how things come along without us meddling too much in it" attitude. Supposesdly the final straw was when Minnie went to Barbados for the holidays and didn't tell Matt. When she arrived back, they broke it off, although Minnie still wanted to have a go at it. The guy on the radio said that is why she didn't show up to the OPRAH interview-she was too heartbroken to see him.
MATT AND WINONA: Several stories are coming to me about Matt and Winona Ryder's relationship! Apparently, Gwyneth Paltrow (who is currently dating Ben Affleck), set them up. Hmm...; Report was that Matt has since broken it off with Winona and was last seen "cozying" up to Calista Flockheart from Ally McBeal in an L.A. restaurant. Rather odd! (Courtesy of Kim.)
Jude Law (Gattaca) and Cate Blanchett (Oscar & Lucinda) are in final talks to join Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in the cast of director Anthony Minghella's adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith mystery THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. Production on the film is expected to be pushed back from this spring to the fall to allow for the actors prior commitments. (Zentertainment.)
Gwyneth Paltrow is set to co-star in Mr. Ripley...
Apparently Matt and the rest of the cast were invited to the White House for a showing of Good Will Hunting! Way to go...
Reportedly Matt's next project after Mr. Ripley will be a movie with Samuel L. Jackson, called Training Day.
MINNIE AND MATT: All, right, everyone's been asking about the Minnie and Matt relationship break-up...why? how? Here are some views:
