Matt Damon blasts 'Bourne Ultimatum' writer Tony Gilroy

In the new issue of GQ, the action star goes off on screenwriter Tony Gilroy for his “Bourne Ultimatum” script.

Damon – who played Jason Bourne in the popular film trilogy – is also steamed at Universal for handing Gilroy a sweetheart deal that he thinks almost ruined the movie. Gilroy was only required to write one draft of the script (with no rewrites) in exchange for "an exorbitant amount of money," the actor says.

'Suits' star Patrick J. Adams on his year of firsts

Playing a lawyer with photographic memory who fools an entire law firm into believing he is a Harvard grad certainly pays off.

Patrick J. Adams, star of the USA show “Suits,” has nabbed a SAG nomination for outstanding performance by a male actor in a drama series.

As a first-timer, Adams said he wasn’t even aware of the announcement and is still very surprised. “I’m so excited and overwhelmed to be in the company of these actors,” Adams told CNN. “These are the people I take my cues from. Insane. And I watch those shows. I can’t wait to sit with them and talk about their shows.”

Melissa McCarthy: 'I’m half nuts right now!'

Melissa McCarthy continued her Tinseltown awards tour Wednesday as she celebrated a Screen Actors Guild nomination in the outstanding supporting actress category for her work in “Bridesmaids."

“I've been doing this [for] 20 years,” McCarthy tells CNN Entertainment. “I’m programmed to think, 'I’m never working again, oh my God I hope I get a job!'"

She adds, "I’ve spent two decades of my life just doing that, trying to just get a job. And then, to have this kind of response, and to have it be for something that you’re crazy about, and I got to do it with a bunch of my friends and my husband…then you go into, like, bizarre-land!”

'American Horror Story' home for sale

This newly listed property only plays a haunted house on TV, but it’s still probably not for squeamish buyers. The historic red brick abode featured in “American Horror Story” has hit the market, reports Aol Real Estate.

The pilot for “American Horror Story” was filmed on location at the home, and while the FX series is now shot on a set, the soundstage is an exact replica of the L.A. residence.

The six-bedroom, five-bathroom property is 10,440 square feet, and features luxurious details, including silver and gold leaf hand-painted ceilings, Tiffany stained-glass windows, a solarium, a recording studio in the ballroom (which used to be a chapel), and six stunning vintage fireplaces.

Paris Jackson to appear on 'Ellen'

We’ll hear from one of Michael Jackson’s children on Thursday's "Ellen."

According to People, MJ’s daughter Paris, 13, will give a revealing interview, discussing the infamous masks she and her siblings wore, among other things.

"I'm like, 'This is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?' " she says of wearing the face coverings (along with her brothers Prince, 14, and Blanket, 9) for so many years. "But I kind of realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us. And he'd explain that to us, too."

Miley Cyrus: Breasts are mine, but thanks

Miley Cyrus' yellow, cleavage-baring gown at Sunday's CNN Heroes had tongues wagging with suspicion that she'd had some work done.

RadarOnline cited the opinions of surgeons who have not treated the 19-year-old singer/actress who claimed that her "volume" could be due to a "breast augmentation."

The chatter has caused Cyrus, who performed at Sunday's show, to denounce the rumors via Twitter. "Thank you for the compliment but these babies are all mine," Cyrus posted Tuesday. "I wish they'd realize you don't have to be fake to be beautiful!"

Or, perhaps, that she's a growing teen. "I'M 19!!! BOOBS GROW PEOPLE!" she added.
