Matt Damon and Jay-Z Make the Scene at Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark's Revamp

Matt Damon, his wife Luciana, and Jay-Z were among the famous faces in the audience last night at the debut of the newly revamped Broadway show Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Jay was spotted chatting up actress Gina Gershon backstage after Matt and Luciana posed for photos outside. The musical, which was plagued by cast injuries and bad press during its many preview performances, finally opened yesterday in front of the star-studded crowd. Bono, who partially financed the project and whose band U2 wrote music for the show, walked the red carpet, as did Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, while former president Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea, mingled inside. The new version of the Spider-Man musical is getting mixed reviews, but is nonetheless scheduled to run through October.

Matt and Luciana Damon Show Their Support For a Cause Close to Emily Blunt's Heart

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana left Alexia, Isabella, Stella, and Gia home last night in order to attend the annual Freeing Voices, Changing Lives gala in NYC. The event was held to benefit The American Institute For Stuttering, which has long been supported by Matt's The Adjustment Bureau costar Emily Blunt. It was Matt's latest social evening after attending Monday's Made in NY Awards, where he picked up an honor for his dedication to shooting movies in the Big Apple. Emily herself turned out for the party, and her husband John Krasinskidid too. John and Emily attended the benefit together in 2009 and last year as well. Emily supports the organization after she dealt with a speech impediment as a child. She told Elle UK last September, "[It was] awful, absolutely awful. You feel like there’s an impostor living inside of you who is misrepresenting who you really are. You don’t want to be accepted for being that person but at the same time you do, and you don’t want people to finish your sentences, yet you breathe a sigh of relief when someone does." Emily conquered her ailment and went on to forge a successful career as an actress, and she's lately been putting her oratory skills to use on the set of Five-Year Engagement in Ann Arbor, MI, with costar Jason Segel.

Matt Damon & 'Office' Star -- SURROUNDED by Guns

Matt Damon and "Office" star John Krasinski got in touch with their American roots on Wednesday -- hitting up a guitar/gun/grocery-selling gas station in Upstate New York. Seriously, the place exists.

It's called Dick's Country Store & Music Oasis in Churubusco, NY -- and we're told, the Hollywood duo stopped in to scope the place out for an upcoming film project.

As far as we know, no guns were purchased. America! F**k yeah!

Other notable residents of the city, like Real Housewives of New York stars Jill Zarin, Ramona Singer, and LuAnn de Lesseps turned out with Bravo mastermind Andy Cohen to toast Matt's achievement.

Matt Damon said of his daughters Alexia, Isabella, Gia, and Stella, "I wish they were here tonight, but they are sleeping. . . . I'm just so proud to live here."
