CELEBRITY Q AND A: MATT DAMON.

A Downtown Los Angeles Hotel waiting room, with a big flat screen TV.


Matt Damon: Who's winning? (NBA Finals Game 3)
Data Hard: Miami is ahead by 8 pts.

Damon: Really?!

Data: Yeah, they were ahead by- almost 15 at one point.

Damon uses his smart phone, to confirm the statement.

Damon: That is amazing. I heard the Spurs were on fire.

Data: In the fourth quarter, the Spurs just got tired...gave up or something.

They both watch the game, for few minutes.

Damon: Oh, I gotta go...I'm Matt Damon,by the way.

I nod knowingly, as Miami has scored- another impressive 3 pointer.

Damon: (as the ball is slam dunked) Damn. See Ya!

Data: Take Care.

Data Hard continues watching the game, glad he didn't bet anything Spurs.

"IT'S TIME FOR A JAKE (STEINFELD) RUN" AT THE BOX OFFICE, IN MONEYBALL/HANGOVER SERIO-COMEDY.

From PR Newswire

Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, has optioned the book "Take a Shot! The Remarkable Story of Perseverance, Friendship and A Really Crazy Adventure" (Hay House, August 15, 2012) by NY Times and Wall St. Journal bestselling author Jake Steinfeld and Dave Morrow, for its television division, the Company announced today. Jake is best known for his Body by Jake Global brand; Dave Morrow is a former All-American lacrosse player and founder of Warrior Sports.
Described as MONEYBALL meets THE HANGOVER, Take A Shot! tells the tale of three men from vastly different worlds- Jake, the brash Hollywood fitness icon and driving force behind Major League Lacrosse; Dave, a shy Ivy Leaguer from blue-collar Detroit and the ultimate fish out of water who ultimately becomes a success story in his own right; and Tim Robertson, the son of a televangelist and a multimedia mogul-who teamed up to try the impossible: start a professional sports league at a time when other leagues were crashing and burning around them.

The book chronicles the true story of their wild search for investors and team owners, the setbacks that nearly derailed the league time and again and the emotional and triumphant debut of Major League Lacrosse, the first professional outdoor lacrosse league. Their roller coaster ride blends humor, inside sports intrigue and inspirational life lessons along the way. Lionsgate has optioned the book for development into a dramatic television series.

"We love to be in business with other entrepreneurs, and Jake Steinfeld is a larger than life personality and a hugely successful entrepreneur whose book has resonance for sports fans, adrenaline junkies and people who love success stores alike," said Lionsgate Television Group President Kevin Beggs and Lionsgate Television COO Sandra Stern. "Jake tells a riveting story that we believe can translate into equally compelling television programming consistent with the Lionsgate brand." In addition to being the founder of Major League Lacrosse, Steinfeld is the entrepreneur who built the highly successful worldwide fitness empire, Body by Jake Global.

He launched America's first 24-hour fitness and lifestyle cable network, FiT TV, and recently launched the multiplatform www.FitOrbit.com, revolutionizing the fitness industry for the digital age. He serves as a motivational speaker and has appeared in movies ranging from COMING TO AMERICA and THE MONEY PIT to YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE and INTO THE NIGHT and starred in the sitcom BIG BROTHER JAKE on The Family Channel.

Jake has also made a significant contribution to fighting childhood obesity and building children's self-esteem as chair of the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils. Morrow started Warrior Sports in his Princeton dorm room where he was an All-American lacrosse superstar and later, under Jake's mentorship, sold the company to New Balance; it has since become the largest lacrosse brand in the world, with expansion into hockey and soccer. Lacrosse has become the fastest growing team sport in the USA.

EXCLUSIVE EXPOSE: HOMOPHOBIA WATCH-AMERICAN GLADIATORS.

The crowd could feed of the anti-gay feelings being submitted by the show. In a subtle manner by Layla Ali, in attacking someone she thought she knew "Thanking you for coming out" and pausing a long time and stating "you know how I mean that."

She later attacked the lone audience member ,who refused to speak to bigots in crowd and on the show. The non-union crowd,taunted him with their shared laughter and sadistically, assumed gay beliefs about the gentlemen as Ali stated repeatedly "I really believe you like dick!" Even thought the man was only interested in the female contenders and gladiators- whom he watched intently watched, as they entered and exited the field.

Even Ali was not immune to her own torment as the bullying, bitch, boxer champ, had screamed at her- from the crowd several times: "We all know you have a dick, Layla!"

In a passive-aggressive manner by Hulk Hogan, who at least tried to be kind to one on-camera, openly gay contestant. In fact, the contestant apparently out himself, when he saw how the lone audience member was treated.Unfortunately, after the crowd celebrated this, one unattractive light skinned black lady- then demanded the lone abused, crowd member out himself- in order to satisfy the hate speech and gaydar of the crowd.

In addition, the show itself didn't do itself any favors when one of the male glads, walked out on spiked, frosted hair AND about a third of it pink. He later made comments about that seem to indicate- he was dying to attack the openly gay player- in Power ball. When the play finally commenced- the the two players made no attempt to tackle each other. Whether this showed discretion, unattractiveness or even latent heterosexuality on their parts, is unknown.

Still,Hogan may helped Ali (in a follow-up story,involving his slutty, daughter Brooke,) a audience host named Robert gleefully helped to create this hostile work environment on this person (every one in is paid for their participation,including the audience-since 12-16 hrs day are common AT minimum wage-NO overtime) and against other audience members, who were just trying to do their job and "pretend" to enjoy the show.

Later.
