Atlanta, GA :: More pictures of Matthew Fox and Matthew McConaughey filming We Are Marshall (those are dummies sitting in the stands!).  Matthew McConaughey will star as Coach Jack Lengyel of the Young Thundering Herd football team for four years following the 1970 plane crash that killed 75 people. Matthew Fox will play Red Dawson (check out his dyed red hair), a Huntington businessman and an assistant to Lengyel. Andy Nameth (defensive line coach during Lengyel’s tenure at Marshall) was on set for the filming: "The stadium was filled….with dummies instead of real people. It’s unbelievable (how they) had each one made up. From a distance, no one could tell the difference." Check out the larger pictures in the gallery.  Be sure to spot the dummies! We Are Marshall is scheduled for a October 2006 release.

And another one bites the dust.  Actor couple Matthew McConaughey, 36, and Penelope Cruz, 32, have called it quits. A joint statement from the couple to People reads: "[The couple] have decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time."  A source close to Cruz said, "They’re very good friends, but they haven’t been able to be together. Who knows what the future holds… [Penelope] said it has been too hard to have a relationship when you see the other person every six weeks." Here’s to hoping they find (new) love!
