Matt Damon, wearing a Boston Red Sox jersey, promotes Ocean’s Thirteen on Monday at The Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City.

On how much fun baseball season is this year: “I’m just having so much fun this season. There’s a saying in Boston that we have two favorite teams. We have the Red Sox and whoever’s playing the Yankees.”

On his jet-setting daughter Isabella, who turns 1 on Monday: “I figured out a couple weeks ago - we were flying from Paris to New York - she feel asleep and I counted her stamps on her passport and she has 11 stamps on her passport. She’s got a lot of air miles.”

On Isabella crying for 8 hours straight on an Air France flight from Paris: “At the end of the flight, she ate dinner, she went to sleep. I finally turned to my wife and said, ‘I think she’s hard-of-hearing.’ Literally, we could not figure it out. Finally, we’re in the passport line and my curiosity got the better of me and I tapped her on the shoulder and said, ‘Listen, I just want to apologize if my daughter disturbed you on your flight.’ And she turned and said, ‘I have nine children. I spent 35 years raising children. That was a great flight for me.”

Surrounded by cheering fans and friends, Brad, George, Matt and producer Jerry Weintraub had their hand and footprints immortalized in cement in the The Hand & Footprint Ceremony.

George joked, “I have to say, if I had to be on my hands and feet, I’d like it to be with these three guys.”

Time Magazine sat down with some of the stars of Ocean’s 13 — Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Ellen Barkin — on the terrace at the Hotel du Cap in Cannes, France.

Here’s are some funny excerpts:

On the subject of charisma, you’ve each been called the last great movie star at one point or another. Are we really running out of movie stars, and is that, like, a problem?
CLOONEY: The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn’t this amazing amount of magazines and information about them.
DAMON: We didn’t know anything about them.
CLOONEY: There was mystique. They’re 60 feet high, and you paid your buck and a half to go see them. But that’s gone. People know everything about everybody now.
PITT: Jaws came along and proved you could make huge money with blockbusters, and it set this thing in motion that has lowered the subject matter. People like George have been getting good stuff out there, but it’s an industry that pushes people out on the big stage too fast, before they’re ready, and it eats them up as well. It’s a different kind of arena now.
BARKIN: Think about it. Do we know anything about Robert Redford’s children? Does he even have any?
DAMON: I worked with him, and I don’t know.
PITT: I have four, if you haven’t heard.

As we’re talking, there are paparazzi in boats out in the harbor taking pictures. Having just been through the celebrity muck of Cannes, who gets it the worst?
CLOONEY: There’s no question, it’s Brad.
PITT: Well, exponentially, with us together …
CLOONEY: But even before he was with [Angelina Jolie], we used to chum the water with him.
PITT: This is not a joke. They used to send me out to take the hits.
CLOONEY: We were at the airport in Italy. So I walk off the plane, and it’s “Hey, Giorgio!” And I go, “Look! Brad Pitt!” and they’re gone.
DAMON: You described it once as “People were stepping on our faces trying to get to Brad.”
PITT: Ah, well, I don’t take it as a compliment.

Matt Damon is rubbing this man’s belly because ??????????????????

The cast of Ocean’s Thirteen promote their third caper together at the Palais des Festivals during the Cannes Film Festival Thursday in France — Brad Pitt, Carl Reiner, Andy Garcia, Scott Caan, Don Cheadle, and George Clooney.

Pictured below: Director Steven Soderbergh, Shaobo Qin, Eddie Jemison, Matt Damon and Ellen Barkin.

The O13 cast raised 9.2 million dollars at a glittering soiree late Tuesday for an organization founded by the stars — Not On Our Watch — which will will aid hundreds of thousands uprooted by conflict in Darfur.

Brad Pitt (in Tom Ford again) and the rest of his A-list costars — George Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia — leave the Eden Roc Hotel to have attend the Ocean’s 13 benefit cruise aimed at ending genocide in Darfur.

Says Reuters, “A Cannes debut represents a risk for a major Hollywood movie like Ocean’s because reviewers in the French Riviera resort tend to throw their support behind European, Asian and U.S. art house films, and foresake Hollywood studio fare like Ocean’s.”

Brad said, “There is a fair argument for deep and thought-provoking … types of films as well as pure, unadulterated entertainment.”

Damon added, “You still want the bigger movies to be good.”

Clooney quipped, “It’s really not about the film, as much as winning the [Palme d'Or] award.” (It’s handed out to the best film in Cannes but Ocean’s Thirteen doesn’t even qualify.)

Damon joked, “We think we’re going to win.”
