The Spoiler

Which Hollywood star hates Tottenham?


Matt Damon makes his north London loyalties clear

Matt Damon’s anti-Spurs canvases

Remember yesterday when we showed you canvases designed by Premier League stars for charity? The Willow Foundation have also asked Hollywood celebs to donate their time and artistic skills to help raise money, and Matt Damon took the opportunity to show his Pro-Arsenal/ Anti-Spurs stance. The “tottenham sucks” artwork is currently fetching £62, quite a bit more than efforts by the likes of Eduardo and Jamie Redknapp.

Fear no, Spurs fans, for The Spoiler also brings you good Matt Damon-related news. Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass once teased BBC DJ (and Tottenham fan) Simon Mayo saying he would only make another Borune film if Spurs finished in the top four. An as-yet untitled Bourne project is now scheduled for a 2010 release, which can only mean that Mr Redknapp is all set to turn the table upside down…

Premier League stars show their artistic side for charity

Several Premier League stars have given up the brief space between training and nap time (that is usually occupied by story time) in order to discover their artistic side. The Willow Foundation, a charity that helps organise special days for the seriously ill, have produced 300 small canvases, each of which has been decorated by a sportsman or celebrity of some sort.

The canvases are being auctioned for charity right now, and would make a great Christmas present for difficult-to-buy-for relatives, or lovers of “Outsider Art”.
