Matt Damon
Celebrity Viral Videos Are Good For the Image
Trendhunter recently wrote that actors were starting to get hip to the idea of viral videos as a way to boost their image (in response to the Matt Damon/Sarah Silverman instant classic), and I could not agree more. Once I see a celebrity in a viral video parodying themselves, I think they have a fantastic sense of humor and don't take themselves too seriously — that latter quality being something that is normally antithetical to the image of actors, who are generally perceived as egotistical bigheads with a deep need to be taken seriously. Will Ferrell's FunnyOrDie (their original post being the amazing "The Landlord") has helped in this phenomena, and before sites and actors cropped up trying to create virals, YouTube really boosted the idea — would you have seen Justin Timberlake's "D** in a Box" video if it had only aired on SNL?
Rainn Wilson Shares His Sexy Side With People
Sure, Matt Damon may be People's Sexiest Man Alive, but there are plenty of sexy geeks out there getting cred this year, too! Uber-geek and The Office star Rainn Wilson may not have made the sexiest list, but he did receive an honorable mention. He sat down with People to create a funny video about being called sexy by the magazine.
Geek of the Week: Minnie Driver
In one of my favorite movies of all time, Good Will Hunting, Minnie Driver plays Skylar, a super smart Harvard medical student whose intellect and charm ends up winning the heart of her fellow co-star Will Hunting, played by Matt Damon. Skylar shows us just how cool it is to be a bookworm while juggling the stressors of everyday life. Add photos of yourself, your best friend or that one geeky guy to the geeksugar Geek of the Week group or send us an e-mail nominating your favorite celebrity.
