Steven Soderbergh

Matt Damon better pucker up, because Michael Douglas is waiting!

No, no, Douglas hasn't left Catherine Zeta-Jones and switched teams. He is playing Liberace in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming biopic, and Damon will be playing his lover.

The Girlfriend Experience is a film about sex, starring a porn star, which has no sex in it.

Instead, director Steven Soderbergh took a 15-page outline, a cast of non-professional actors, a DV cam and just over two weeks to make an improvisational film about the transaction of pleasure and intimacy.

“Do I personally see any difference between what she does and what I do for Warner Brothers? No.”

“I don’t think I’ll be cast as Zac Efron’s girlfriend in his next movie, I’m not going to be in a teen movie and I’m okay with that.”

It’s the Battle of the Late-80s/Early 90s sex symbols.

Do you want Lou’s la-la-la-la-la La Bamba or are you into Billy’s Dead Calm?

Both men were snapped at Saturday’s AFI Festival 2008 Gala Screening of Che at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Presented with an intermission, Steven Soderbergh’s film (which will be divided in two parts for American audiences) runs 258 minutes. That’s over four hours of ass-numbing entertainment.

Whose popcorn would you rather snack on for that kind of marathon?

Catherine Zeta-Jones hasn’t really been on the Hollywood scene lately. The 39-year old seems perfectly content to hang with her husband Michael Douglas on their vast Bahamian property and enjoy the good life. Can you blame her?

But it looks like Zeta-Jones might be coming out of semi-retirement to play Cleopatra in the upcoming 3D Hollywood epic Cleo. You know homegirl can work a blunt bang and heavy cateye makeup.

Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, is in talks to play Mark Antony.

Bust out the candelabras, bedazzled tuxedos and fabulous velvet capes!

Steven Soderbergh has cast Michael Douglas as the lead of his Liberace biopic which will focus on his career and closeted homosexuality.

Matt Damon is reportedly in talks to play Scott Thorson, a man who sued Liberace for palimony in 1982, claiming the pair was lovers for over five years.

Who will rise victorious?

Matt Damon rocks a bitchin’ Aloha spooner, a Barcalounger beer gut, a Marv Albert toupee and the kind of facial hair that needs a soundtrack behind going, “Bom Chicka Wow Wow.”

Matt is suffering for his art.

He was snapped on the Hawaiian set of his new film The Informant, directed by Steven Soderbergh, the same guy who made The Clooney go doughy in Syriana, a role that earned him an Oscar.

Could this look win Damon win his second Oscar since his 1998 win for Best Screenplay (Good Will Hunting)?
