Matthew McConaughey made a shocking reveal today on Live with Kelly today. Back in 1999, the Oscar winner was balding. He used some product called Region X and it miraculously grew back. In fact, it grew back so well that there is a hair transplant convention that uses his photo as a model of the perfect hair transplant. Only problem is he never had one. That will be an interesting conversation when they show his photo at this year’s event.

Today is Dolly Parton’s 71st birthday (Can you believe it?) and W Magazine found an interesting way to honor her. They asked Matthew McConnaughey, Chris Pine and Michael Shannon to audition for her legendary part of Doralee Rhodes in the classic movie 9 to 5 by reading the infamous “rooster to a hen” scene. How did they do? Watch their read and then hers and let me know. I know, who I would give the 9 to 5 to.
W Magazine asked Chris Pine, Haillee Steinfeld, Greta Gerwiq, Michael Shannon, Dakota Fanning, Amy Adams, Taraji P Henson, Felicity Jones, Dev Patel, Ruth Negga, Lucas Hedges, Noamie Harris, Matthew McConaughey and Mahershala Ali to read the most covered song I Will Survive and Gloria Gaynor would not petrified of it. That and I think McConaughey has found a new catchphrase to replace alright, alright, alright and it’s hey, hey. hey, Hey, hey I think I like that.
Recently Wonderful Christmastime was named the worst Christmas song ever. Maybe the people who voted for it, will change their minds after hearing this rendition of the Paul McCartney song with him, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and the cast of sing including Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson and Tori Kelly that was performed tonight on The Tonight Show. I know I love the holiday classic even more. That’s right, I always liked the catchy tune.
Did you know that Matthew McConaughey and Naomi Watts have a new movie out in theaters right now. Don’t worry no one else seemed to know about The Sea of Trees is out either. The film that is directed by Gus Van Sant made just $1,877 over the weekend in two theaters. Things got worse from there because on Monday it made $411, Tuesday, $442 and Wednesday it brought in just $164 according to Box Office Mojo. That means that less that 15 people saw it two days ago. Ouch! Ouch! And ouch!
Maybe it is because you can rent it for $6.99 on YouTube, but that would be a nice way to spin it. Let’s be honest, it looks awful and that is why no one is going to see it.
If Matt wants to get people to see his artsy films in theaters, then he needs to make sure he is shirtless throughout it. That would get me to spend $15 on a piece of crap.
