Matt Damon is no longer alone in his refusal to use a toilet until the entire world has access to clean water.

Fellow “famous people” — as Damon affectionately calls them in the video below — Jessica Biel, Jason Bateman, and Josh Gad have joined his toilet strike, which he announced last month in a “press conference.” The silly-but-really-very-serious awareness campaign is led by Damon and the organization he co-founded, Water.org.

In the campaign, Damon and Water.org have called for change, citing the 2.5 billion people worldwide who are without adequate sanitation, the 800 million people who do not have access to clean drinking water every day and the 4,000 children under age five who die each day from preventable water-related illness.

Check out the new video below, which Water.org released today, to see Gad’s enthusiasm for striking, to hear about Bateman’s choice of a toilet-alternative and to learn about how Biel can make a room smell like a singing hummingbird. READ FULL STORY »

“What is theatre? No, I’m just f—ing with you.” South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone couldn’t have chosen a better way to greet the masses of fans that packed the Broadway house at The Book of Mormon’s second annual Fan Day performance. The audience was comprised of more than a thousand Mormon enthusiasts who had previously lost the daily ticket lottery, but were lucky enough to land a coveted spot at the June 6 performance, which was created as an opportunity to give back to the show’s legions of followers.

“You can just tell the vibe, even walking in, how excited people are that they’re having this opportunity,” said star (and 2011 Tony Award winner) Nikki M. James backstage, where the audible buzz from the fans waiting beneath the marquee carried through the dressing rooms. “Everyone in that [theater] is celebrating how cool and fun this show is,” added co-star Rory O’Malley. “And it’s the closest that I’ll ever come to feeling like a rockstar.”

Although leading men Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad (who used Fan Day as his final performance before departing the production) received said rockstar welcomes when they entered the stage door, the Mormon fans waiting outside weren’t the rabid, wild bunch that you might expect—but you can probably chalk that up to exhaustion, as the line-up for the open-seating performance began as early as midnight.
