(WENN) Matt Damon has confessed his parents let him smoke cannabis with them when he was a teenager, to discourage him from abusing the drug. The Oscar-winner - who grew up in a community house with his mother, child psychologist Nancy Carlsson-Paige and stepfather - happily confesses having used the drug in the past, adding that his early experiences were intended to help him form a sensible attitude towards drug use. Damon told British broadcaster Johnny Vaughan's BBC chat show Johnny Vaughan Tonight, "The first time I smoked was at home with my mother and step-father. They were like, 'If you are going to do this, we'd rather you did this with us.'"

Ben Affleck's Baldness

Bald Ben Affleck's toupee secret has been shockingly revealed when his hairpiece flew off at a party, according to press reports. The Pearl Harbor hunk, who is dating Latina babe Jennifer Lopez, had his secret revealed at a party when he and fellow actor Vince Vaughn started play-fighting and his carefully concealed hairpiece flew up in the air, British newspaper the Daily Star claims. A source says, "Ben was embarrassed. But he was with friends and begged them to keep his secret. He's very private when it comes to his hair loss. He hasn't even broken the news to girlfriend Jennifer Lopez yet. But his baldness has been the talk of Hollywood ever since he flipped his wig." A friend adds, "Ben's very vain. He's had close to $50,000 worth of dental caps to improve his smile."
