Getting back together with Jennifer Lopez wasn’t exactly an intelligent decision, but Ben Affleck is actually a pretty smart guy.  And last night he proved it by going all the way on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”. Of course, it helped that his partner was Jamie Ding, a guy who won 31 consecutive episodes of “Jeopardy!”  The two of them are giving the million bucks to the Eastern Congo Initiative . . . a charity Ben co-founded in 2010. Their final question was about presidential pardons . . . for Thanksgiving turkeys.  Host Jimmy Kimmel gave them the names of four pairs of turkeys . . . three pairs were legit names of pardoned birds, and one was fake. The names were:  Peanut Butter and Jelly . . . Tater and Tot . . . Mac and Cheese . . . and Spaghetti and Meatball. They used their Ask the Host lifeline, and while Jimmy didn’t know the answer, he guessed that Spaghetti and Meatball was wrong.  They then tried to lock it in with the Phone a Friend option, but that guy didn’t know either. So they decided to trust Jimmy, and got it right. And here’s a fun fact for you:  Ben’s victory comes almost exactly one year after Matt Damon won the million on the show. Matt also teamed up with a “Jeopardy!” legend . . . former champ and current host Ken Jennings. And the money went to Matt’s charity, Water.org.

The New York Times and Boston Globe have revealed the close-up shots of Matt Damon’s biceps in ‘’The Odyssey’’ belong to a New Zealand stunt woman who was also his stunt double on the film.

Shania Twain was recently asked if she were writing “That Don’t Impress Me Much” today, if she would rewrite anything. You know, like that Brad Pitt name-drop. “Well, you know, I’ve never met Brad Pitt, and I just don’t know whether he’s avoiding me because he’s offended that I put him in the lyric of the song, or whether he’s just never heard the song before.  That’s not possible. “Yeah, so no, I wouldn’t take Brad out of the song, but maybe I would add some people, like . . . I would add Harry Styles.” Shania previously shared the inspiration behind mentioning Brad, and no, it had nothing to do with his manhood.  She was inspired by his nude photo scandal with Gwyneth Paltrow, and what a big deal people made out of it. Don’t get the wrong idea though.  Shania LOVES Harry.  In fact, they just toured together last month. Elsewhere in the interview she says, “What impresses me most about Harry is that he is a natural. He’s easy going, calm, and I love his voice.  I think it’s beautiful.   But what impresses me the most about him is that he loves his mother so much.”

Jason Aldean has fired several crew members who badmouthed him on tour. He says,  “Here’s my issue. When you’re riding around on a tour bus that I’m paying for for you, and I’m feeding you three meals a day every day, and a paycheck to pay your rent or whatever it is, and you’re out there on those buses, in our catering, and you’re badmouthing me and  our crew?

Luke Bryan tells Country Now that he almost passed on becoming a judge on American Idol. “At the time, I was doing stadium shows…I was as busy as a human being could be. So, I was a little reluctant to add another layer of commitment and concentration. When you’re selling out football stadiums and your albums are doing everything you’ve dreamed  of, throwing a distraction in the mix was something that was a little bit challenging. At the  end of the day, I kind of made the decision to do it. And nine years later, still at the desk and I look back and it’s been an amazing experience for me. The lessons and things that I’ve learned are just countless.”
