Is there anything you’ve ever done that’s as good as, or better than, sex?
Well, “I’ve had a hole-in-one four times. That’s a pretty good high.” - so says Hollywood heartthrob, Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey is on fire this week in the latest issue of Women’s Health hit newsstands TODAY, Tuesday, February 12th.
Matthew McConaughey – looks better than ever on the current cover of Men’s Health, and his latest movie “Fool’s Gold,” earning the top spot at the box office this weekend pulling in over $22 million.
Women’s Health was lucky enough to get some Q&A with this Hollywood heartthrob.
On what women need to know about men:
“Sometimes when a woman falls for a guy he [asks him to change], and he changes so much that she loses her Huck Finn, the rascal in the man she fell in love with. Men are willing to change to make you happy – because when you’re happy we’re happy. But don’t completely take the boy out of the man. You’re gonna miss him.”
A tell-tale sign a man is head-over-heels: (Pay attention to this one, ladies!)
“If she asks him to do some really stupid shit and he does it [laughs] One hundred percent, man. Then you know.”
Matthew Reveals his Golden Treasures…
An honest day’s work: After high school, he spent a year in Australia washing dishes and shoveling chicken manure.
Good skin: His 13-year-old leather coat, named Rusty, is a go-to staple for hard travel: “There are a lot of stories in that coat.”
Mementos: His most prized possession is a ring his father had made from gold melted down from Matthew’s parents’ high school rings and from his mother’s teeth. It has an M for McConaughey set in it. “When the Malibu fires came and we had to evacuate, that’s the only thing I really needed to grab,” he says.
Macho branding: Miller Lite his favorite beer – and his nephew’s name (Miller Lyte).
Going au naturel: He hasn’t worn deodorant in 20 years, and he’s been known to dance naked while playing the bongos.
Athletic genes: His dad, a defensive end in college, was drafted by the Green Bay Packers.
A sassy bitch: He loves his four-legged lady, an Australian cattle dog named Foxy
Happy Endings: His parents were divorced twice and married three times – to each other.

Check this one out from Jack a la Dawson Creek’s fame:
Britney Spears’ father Jamie Spears is granted temporary conservatorship over Britney Spears’ estate. He gets to manage her financial assests too. Sam Lufti on the other hand,has been handed his fourth restraining order to stay away from Britney.
Lufti claims to care about her and says he only means well.But right now, I really think Britney needs someone to keep a watch over what she does.Hopefully, with her dad managing her holdings, Britney should be prone to do some less crazy stuff (which will refrain us from entertainment) but i guess its high time she got her life back on track.
Julianne Moore has confessed to existing on a diet of granola bars.
In a frank interview with eve magazine the Hollywood actress spoke about the real amount of effort it takes to sustain an ‘acceptable’ figure in the film industry.
She revealed: “I still battle with my deeply boring diet of, essentially, yogurt and breakfast cereal and granola bars. I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the “right” size. I’m hungry all the time.”
“I think I’m a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn’t. All actresses are hungry all the time, I think.”
Julianne, 47, who has starred in a string of hit movies including Boogie Nights and The Hours admitted to once feeling so insecure she introduced a bizarre routine into her life. “I used to follow a daily routine called The Lucky Way, which involved drinking two cups of tea, leaving my apartment at exactly the same time. Pacing my walk to work so I got all the green lights…”
Any traces of compulsive behaviour ended when Julianne had children, Cal, 10, and Liv, five, with her film director husband Bart Freundlich.
She told eve: “Having two kids means you drop all that sort of rubbish. I’m still a fanatical about straightening furniture and lining stuff up, but I’m much more laid-back.”

Anna Friel hires a “Northern” British nanny so her daughter grows up with an accent like hers.
The Brit actress moved to Los Angeles two years ago with Harry Potter star David Thewlis and their two-year-old daughter Gracie, she’s just signed a new six-and-a-half-year contract with hit US TV series Pushing Daisies which comes to ITV this spring.
The star, who’s originally from Rochdale, has employed a nanny from the North of England so Gracie doesn’t forget where she comes from.
She told Closer magazine: “I know my roots and where I’m from - I’m northern and I always will be. Now Gracie’s talking with northern mannerisms. She’s like: ‘Eh up, Mummy doesn’t like it like that, Mummy likes things neat int trailer.’ She’s adorable.”
Anna admits she was homesick when the family first made the move but she now dreads the thought of coming back to the UK.
She adds: “I want Gracie to be settled and that means we’re staying here for now - she’s going to be in school soon. I need to let her have time to grow.”
Jordan look-alike gets her breasts enlarged just as Katie Price has hers removed.
A Jordan look-alike spent £8,000 to have her breasts enlarged just as the real Katie Price had her implants removed.
Gabriele Randone from Eastbourne, East Sussex, had surgery to create a whopping 32FF bust in order to look more like the glamour model but Jordan has since had her trademark assets reduced from 32FF to 32D.
Speaking to Closer magazine Gabriele said:
“I couldn’t believe it when, just weeks after my bandages came off, bloody Jordan went and had hers reduced. It’s sod’s law – but I love my new boobs and I’m keeping them.”
Gabriele, 22, spent years of sadness and insecurity over her body images, following a traumatic sex attack she suffered seven years ago. Aged 15, she was raped by a taxi driver after a night out with friends.
Worrying she was to blame for attracting her attacker, Gabriele began wearing baggy clothes to cover her curves and even coloured her blonde hair jet black.
When she was 19, Gabriele met finance Nick Burnett, now 29, who helped restore her faith in men. She says: “I told Nick about everything, from the rape to my self harming, and he supported me. After we begun dating, he’s cuddle me when I felt like cutting myself and tell me he loved me whatever happened. Slowly I started to grow out of it and take control of my life.”
After repeatedly being mistaken for Jordan, Gabriele decided to have a boob job with a view to becoming a full-time look-alike. She took out a bank loan for £4,000 to pay for her first enlargement boosting her boob from a 32B to a D in May 2005.
“Everybody said I looked like Jordan, so I decided I’d try to use that to make some money. I’d seen the Posh and Becks look-alikes in magazines and had read it earned them a good living.”
“I bought some underwear recently and a shop assistant said: ‘Pete will love that’. I told her: “I’m sure he would, but he’ll never see it! Some people have been bitchy about me trying to be someone I’m not. But I’m not one of those freaks who actually thinks they’re a celebrity. I know I’m a nobody. But what’s wrong with sometimes getting to paid to feel like a somebody.”
Before she could find work following her surgery, Gabriele fell pregnant with her son Sam, now eight months. In November last year she decided to increase her bust to 32FF as she felt childbirth had left them saggy. It cost a further £4,000 and it was paid for with another loan. A few weeks later the real Jordan flew to LA to have her boobs reduced to a 32D and her nose refined.
“My nose was always much smaller than Jordan’s, so we aren’t too different now, says Gabriele. “And luckily I’m naturally slim – I don’t diet or exercise. I’m 5ft 5 and a size 6, just like her.”
Jordan tried to book Gabriele to appear on her and husband Peter Andre’s ITV2 show Katie & Peter: Unleashed . “She wanted me to go on her chat show and mud-wrestle a Peter Andre look-alike, but I still had the stitches in my boobs from the op and I couldn’t risk damaging them. I was gutted.”
