...sport here] team. "Sometimes Matt Damon and Ben Affleck come here to hang out," a friend chimed in as we entered. "Yeah, maybe pre-Good Will Hunting. No movie star would be caught dead in here," I retorted just as I got poked in the eye with a greasy buffalo wing. But what do you know, when my vision clears, I see another greasy buffalo-in this case, Mr. Affleck in the corner of the bar, chatting it up with Sarah Ryan and Jennie Tarr.

Verrry interesting. I wonder which will get more buzz?... Said creepy director Vincent Gallo of his Buffalo 66 star Christina Ricci, "She was okay when she wasn't drunk on the set. I think she's an alcoholic-either that or she was on cough syrup the whole time."... I think Garth Brooks' recent retirement is a bit of a hoax. He's still desperate to break...
