Matthew Fox Says He Loves Skinny Dipping

Although Matthew Fox is often featured shirtless on his hit show Lost, the actor admits in his off-time he likes to bare a lot more than his abs.
The 40-year-old star, who is currently appearing in the big screen flick We Are Marshall, loves to strip down and swim naked, he tells Men’s Journal in its February issue.
“As for the skinny-dipping,” the Wyoming-reared Fox says, “when I was a kid there wasn’t a huge delineation in our family between having clothes on or not having clothes on. And the reason I have so much fun doing it now is people are so shocked by it, and, like, ‘Oh, my God, Fox just took his clothes off!’ ”
Expanding on the topic, he says, “But, I mean, just how long ago was it that we were all wandering around in loincloths? I don’t know, dude, but I grew up, all the way until I was 22 years old, fricking in locker rooms showering with f—in’ 40 other dudes and you’re not checking each other’s c— sizes out, you’re just walking around like it’s no big deal.”
For the record, he adds, “And no, I don’t take my clothes off all the time because I think I have a huge unit and want to show it off. I do it because it’s frickin’ funny!”
Besides going au natural, Fox, happily married for the past 14 years, to a former Italian model named Margherita, also spends his time restoring antique cars, betting on horses, fly fishing – and getting rip-roaring drunk, he tells the magazine.
“I really enjoy social boozing, and what I enjoy about it is when people I know and care about say and do things they normally wouldn’t say or do,” he says. “To make that happen I’ll instigate anything.”
To that end, he admits, “I’m absolutely an instigator. And I definitely know a lot of people who have woken up the next day and gone, ‘I can’t believe that happened, and it’s f—ing Fox’s fault.’ Well, it’s probably the most honest you’ve been in a while, man.”
Though honesty isn’t Fox’s personal strong suit: “I’m a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator,” he tells the magazine. “You can never believe a f—-ing word that comes out of my mouth. I tell lies every day, man.” Wow, what a man. So impressed with his integrity and honesty…I wonder if this is a PR stunt or if he really is such an asshat? Considering at the We Are Marshall premiere he raved about being noble, honest and a role model. So which is it Sybil? I have a gut feeling you’re an ass, cute, but an ass.

Singer Justin Timberlake has split from actress Cameron “Pizzaface” Diaz, Star Magazine reports. The magazine, on newsstands this week, claims Timberlake told friends: “We’re done.”
Timberlake, 25, and Diaz, a crusty 34, started dating in 2003 after meeting at the Kid’s Choice Awards. The couple spent the holiday season apart, according to Star. The magazine quotes sources who claim Timberlake pulled the plug on their relationship after “a serious discussion that ended with Justin deciding that his days with Cam were numbered.” Star reports that while partying at a nightclub in Memphis on Dec. 23, Timberlake told friends “the breakup is for keeps.” The good news is that JT may be back on the market and hopefully we’ll be seeing more of his sexyback.

Here is this week’s topic: Perez Hilton (the infamous blogger) is he just a guy doing what he loves or a true scumbag who delights in making fun of celebrities and outing celebrities? If you don’t know what it is about read below.
To Robin Abcarian of the LA Times in response to her article that was published today:
Robin –
Regarding your article about X17 suing Perez, you asked me why I’m suing Perez and not another blogger and that’s when I gave the answer that it’s because he’s the most blatant infringer and the most arrogant (I never said pigheaded, by the way). That was not my answer as to why I’m suing him. To give that quotation to Perez as the reason for our lawsuit against him is bad journalism in my opinion. And pitching the story in the second paragraph, as somehow less serious or valid because we take paparazzi images and not ‘news’ images, is confusing the issue. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement no matter what you, personally, see as the value of the material.
You also say we have “agreements” with many blogs, allowing them to post images with proper credit and a link back to our site. What we have in place is purely an agency-client relationship with PinkIsTheNewBog, PopSugar, and SocialiteLife to pay to license our images. It is no different than our agreement with UsMagazine.com or People.com other than that these blogs pay a reduced licensing fee in exchange for publishing our images with a link back to our site. There are no other sites currently participating in this deal other than the aforementioned three.
And why give the URL of Pere’z blog and not of ours and why link to Perez’s blog (in the online version of the article) and not to ours? Seems to be more proof of your one-sidedness in this story. Why not also point out that the “fair use” defense would mean that anyone anywhere in any medium could publish our images without licensing them? That would mean that X17 would become a public service, and not-for-profit company? People, Us, In Touch, and ET, Access Hollywood and all our other clients wouldn’t need to pay for our images any more? Perez can’t claim newsworthiness when an image has never been published anywhere other than his own blog — when it hadn’t even made the news until he infringed it!
– Brandy Navarre
And this is just my personal note to all the Perez fans out there — I’m not jealous of Perez. I wish he had been able to do what he does legally because I quite enjoy his site. The battle we’re fighting is not a grade-school argument, it is a legal issue and our aim is to protect the images we work so hard at getting. Perez just had to pay for the images like everyone else and he chose not to do so, which has landed him where he is, squarely at the center of this lawsuit.

Mario Lavendeira (PerezHilton.com) is a Big (blank) Ugly Liar, an Accused Thief and Criminal
All, From the Horse’s Mouth: Just a friendly reminder that when you read websites like PerezHilton.com, you are reading lies and are being taken advantage of as you make more money for a person who does nothing but fabricate stories to make his site look interesting. That anyone would trust someone like Mario Lavendeira (PerezHilton.com) who STEALS from photographers, bloggers, and the general population, is beyond me, really. This person is a common criminal.
Contrary to what this ugly wind-bag has reported, I have not broken up with my boyfriend. I did not go home with anyone from “Survivor” from any party. I have not “made out with” anyone at a party while I have been with my boyfriend. The opposite has been written on his site. It is all a complete and blatant lie. This person is a liar. Period.
My book was done before I ever met Lance. I do not date people so that I can “use” them. I’m self-sufficient and happy to be that way. I have served my country, I have made my own money, my own career, written my own books, bought my own homes and other possessions, and I’m proud to be this way, on my own. I am not broke. I am individually financially sound. I date people because I happen to love them. Period.
I will only post this once. This disgusting person and his site makes up blatant lies to create interesting stories. I am one of this criminal’s targets. Understand that. So know, from here on out, that if you read anything about ME on PerezHilton.com, you are 99.9% sure to be reading a lie or an exaggerated, incorrect version of something that is 0.01% true.
Merry Christmas Everybody!!
Love, Reichen
P.S. Here is some information on “Perez” and how he stole a check from a friend and deposited into his account while he was using CRYSTAL METH. This guy is a drug addict, criminal, and thief.
“Perez Hilton, of PageSixSixSix fame–but whose real name shall remain verboten because, unlike him, I have some tact–is a total thief. He got run out of L.A. because he is a meth addict and a thief. The boy had the gumption to steal a check from a friend’s apartment and then deposit it into his own account as a third-party check. Like his ass wouldn’t get caught.
But tina makes you do stupid things. He did get caught, though I’m not sure what happened with his court case. This happened like eight months ago. Check fraud, forgery, theft. Then his blog takes off and people in L.A. started posting comments to it about the theft. He deletes them all. So you heard it here first. If he gets any more famous, tell people not to let Perez get too close to your dresser drawers, because if he is cracked he will steal from you regardless of the consequences.”
We’re very interested in your thoughts. As of this story, I have still not decided what I think of Queen Hilton’s run of fame. Finally, this exchange may interest you.
Giftmas Guide 06 part 3
Let’s face holiday season is no time for heavy thinking. With so many Music and DVD titles hitting the shelves over the past 12 months, it could pretty easy to miss something. So why strain your brain, it’s enough to just keep up with the latest postings on chaosmen.com. So let’s looks at our (sub)objective list for music. Remember it’s our blog and our list, so take it as you will. fergie the dutchess
Fergie of the multi-platinum, twice Grammy Award winning group, The Black Eyed Peas, releases her solo debut The Dutchess. Now, The Black Eyed Peas are an international success story, selling over 17 million copies worldwide. The Dutchess produced by will.i.am, showcases Fergie’s ability as a solo artist and features such stars as Ludacris and Rita Marley, John Legend and The Black Eyed Peas. The first single “London Bridge” went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in only three weeks! Can you say Fergalicous? evanescence the open door
As if your everyday, ordinary sophomore jitters weren’t stressful enough – consider Arkansas’s Evanescence, who had not only the daunting task of following up the success of 2003’s 14-million-selling Fallen (one of only eight albums in history to spend a full year in the Billboard Top 50), but were facing it without two thirds of their original members. With principle songwriter Ben Moody leaving mid-tour in 2003 and bassist Will Boyd departing earlier this year, it didn’t bode well. Amazingly, The Open Door comes through, and finds lead singer Amy Lee building on Fallen’s legacy with more sweepingly orchestral rock. To wit: the massive lead single “Call Me When You’re Sober”. beyoncè b’day
Nobody could ever intentionally set out to replace the lighting-in-a-bottle magic of Beyoncè’s “Crazy In Love”, and fortunately, on her sophomore album, the esteemed Ms. Knowles has the good sense (or of that of her main-man Jay-Z) not to try. Instead, she offers up a daring record – one that sees her stepping out of her comfort zone and turning in some truly special pop moments as a result. From the disco-drenched lead single “Dèja Vu” to the aggressive club jam “Ring The Alarm”, B’day (so named because it was released immediately after Beyoncè’s actual 25th) this compelling proof that a new Diva has risen. justin timberlake futuresex/lovesounds
Bolstered by superb production from the likes of A-Listers Pharrell, Rick Rubin, will.i.am and –of course – the mighty Timberland, FutureSex/LoveSounds finds Justin Timberlake augmenting the slick, hook-filled songwriting style that defined his debut Justified with a not-insignificant amount of Prince influence. From the futuristic glimmer of singles “Sexyback” and “Lovestoned” (which features a guest appearance from the way sexy T.I.) to other album standouts like the infectious “Love Sound” and “What Goes Around” (easily this album’s “Cry Me A River”), FutureSex/LoveSounds is loaded with enough singles to keep JT on the charts and in news till next year’s Giftmas List! ludacris release therapy
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges is back to take on the music industry by storm once again with his newest solo album Release Therapy. Release Therapy is Ludacris’ most personal album to date. Dealing with topics from politics to child abuse, the “release” portion of the disc will show another side of Ludacris to his fans. The “therapy” songs include cut loose tracks such as “Girls Gone Wild”, produced by Pharrell. This album features a powerhouse of talent guest artist including Mary J. Blidge, Beanie Sigel, Pharrell, Young Jeezy, R. Kelly, Bobby Valentino and Snoop Dogg. Includes the fierceness of the hit single “Money Maker”, featuring Pharrell.
my chemical romance the black parade
Building on the epic sound of their 2004 breakthrough Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, the latest album form My Chemical Romance finds the band consulting their inner Freddie Mercuries and coming out sounding more sprawling and ambitious than ever. There’s real drama in here: Not only is The Black Parade the name of the record it’s also the name of a fictitious alter ego of MCR’s creation. Bigger, brasher and glammier than anything that has come out of NJ, this is an odds on favorite to be the year’s biggest rock records. the game the doctor’s advocate
With The Documentary, Compton native Jayceon Taylor (better known as The Game) wrote and rapped his snapshots of street life and, with the help of big name producers such as Dr. Dre, Just Blaze and Kanye West, turned them into an album that sold millions. The same producers return for what The Game calls his “masterpiece”. the killer’s sam’s town
After delivering Hot Fuss, one of the most exciting debut rock albums of recent memory, The Killers up the ante with their sophomore release Sam’s Town. Produced by Flood (U2, NIN) and Alan Moulder (U2, Depeche Mode), The Killers have built on the sound they established with their debut and have taken it one step further. The epic first single “When We Were young” is just one of 12 compelling tracks on the CD that People magazine say’s is “one to listen to over and over” and Rolling Stone calls “a luscious piece of nostalgia [that] gets better with every listen…”. high school musical original motion picture soundtrack
it’s Grease for a new generation! High School Musical has become THE phenomenon of the year (we kid you not!). The made-for-TV-movie drew record audiences – and has become The Disney’s Channels highest rated show EVER – and the soundtrack (which features like 10 songs from the movie and like, 2 karaoke versions!!!) has been in the top of the album sales charts in the US and Canada for like months. The album just recently won the AMA (American Music Award) for soundtrack of the year as well. Beside we totally, like totally love Zac Effron. More Zac after the jump!
Wii Love You
Ok so here we go boys. Wii is the console that will breakdown the wall that separates the video game boys from say oh, just about everyone else. Wii will put people more in touch with games…and with each other (count us in on that last point!). But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean? Wii sound like “we”, which emphasizes this console is for everyone. Wii can be easily remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii. Perfect branding if you ask us.

Intuitive control for anyone using the physical motion of the main Wii Remote, which resembles a television remote control. Up to four Wii Remotes can be connected at once using wireless Bluetooth technology. The wireless signal can be detected within 10 meters of the console.
