The singer, 39, pumped her arms in the air and smiled broadly as she crossed the finish line of the swimming-running-biking event. 'Thank you guys so much,' she told the crowd. 'This is an amazing day. … I feel really great that we raised $127,000 for the Children's Hospital [of Los Angeles] and hopefully it'll go to good use,' Lopez added. … After finishing, Lopez joined her family and Matthew McConaughey, who came in before her, in the VIP area. McConaughey was accompanied by his girlfriend Camila Alves and their newborn son Levi. McConaughey's race time was 1 hour, 30 minutes and 44.7 seconds."
If you ever wondered how Matthew McConaughey got to be so crazy, may we present Exhibition No. 1: His mother, Kay. The lovely Kay has many great stories to share — did you hear the one about her husband's death?
On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love. But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing. But it was just the best way to go! [He was taken from the house naked because] I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift.
That's one of those stories we would never want to hear our mother tell. TMI, Kay. TMI.

So, Matthew McConaughey's going to bury son Levi's placenta, huh? Great idea.
My parents buried mine under a mesquite tree in Tucson, Arizona, and I'll probably bury my child's. Not only does it make for a great story – especially the part about my grandmother almost pan frying the thing for breakfast – it's also kind of a cool, thoughtful ritual that hurts a new baby much less than, say, a briss.
And this from someone who otherwise hates everything hippies have to offer.

Baby Levi McConaughey celebrated turning one month old last night at the LA launch of his mother's handbag line. As you do. Matthew and Camila were quick to drag their son through the lines of photographers — but, to stay in good taste, they made sure to cover him with a blanket. Is it really that hard to find a babysitter in Hollywood? Also: It's good to see Camila has used her newfound popularity to launch yet another pointless fashion line.

The newest baby to endure public judgment: Levi Alves McConaughey, son of Matthew and Camila. The good news for Levi is he gets to grow up under the tutelage of someone as wise as Mateo, who described the birth as so: "We found a great rhythm. Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music."
We should start some cuteness ranking system with all the OK! babies as of late. That's the only way this infant parade is going to stay entertaining.

The endless race for the latest set of exclusive celebrity photos wraps another round, with OK! reportedly snapping up the first pictures of Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’ son Levi Alves, adding to this week’s long-expected coup of Jamie Lynn Spears’ new daughter Maddie. Of course, this is just a small battle compared to the People v. OK! bidding war for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s new bundle of paydays.
And the price for the pics?
YOUR SUGGESTED NAMES WERE BETTER "Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves have named their newborn son Levi Alves McConaughey. … He wrote on his Web site that 'Levi' is another name for the apostle Matthew in the Bible. 'They were, in fact, two names for the same person,' he said."
Matthew McConaughey became a father last night as girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth to a 7 lb., 4 oz. baby boy. At this moment, the couple has not provided a name for the child, which disappointed us a bit until we realized our readers could do a much better job than Mateo. So you tell us: What should he name Baby McConaughey?

Beach blanket belligerence!
A group of paparazzi and the Malibu surfers who attacked them last weekend – to protect the privacy of Matthew McConaughey, say the surfers – have taken to Web site comment boards to taunt and threaten one another with promises of future attacks. What began as just standard American race-bating has become promises of a photographer vs surfer beach rumble, set to go down this Saturday. Unfortunately, we don't think there's enough time between then and now to come up with a way to knock Southern California into the briny depths, so, if you're in the area, go and watch these idiots smash each other's hollow heads like so many tan jack-o'-lanterns. And take pictures!
After the jump, some of the really witty verbal jabs.

Gawd, is there anything worse than rich kids from California?
This weekend in Malibu, a bunch of tanned turds in board shorts chased some paparazzi down the beach before physically assaulting them and smashing their cameras. The surfers, upset that the photographers were filming Matthew McConaughey on their beach, also called the paparazzi "faggots" and demanded that they "get a real job."
"This is a real job," a photographer is heard to say in the video after the jump. "What do you do?" "I fuckin' drink beer and party," replies one young assailant. To which his friend adds, "WHOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Click through and weep for the future.

Texas beatnik Matthew McConaughey is rumored to be Marvel Studios' first choice to play Captain America in a movie slated for release in early 2011.
Con: Captain America never fights crime shirtless. Pro: Captain America's indestructible shield can double as an indestructible drum when the Captain smokes his indestructible gravity bong.
Why is Matthew McConaughey, a man with a well-publicized aversion to deodorant, doing cologne commercials? And how much did it cost to have him completely abandon his belief?
