The McConaughey’s Are Hittin’ The Road

Preparations continue for a possible family vacation
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Earlier this week we saw a photo of Matthew McConaughey doing, what appeared to be, prep work on a motor home (as well as a not so bad impersonation of Conan the Barbarian) that will, most likely, be used by his new family on an upcoming family vacation. Today we have more photos of Matthew and babymama Camila Alves continuing those preparations on said motor home … behold:


Matthew McConaughey strikes me as one of those “real as they come” celebs that is pretty focused on enjoying the “regular” things about life, rather than just the finer things. I can absolutely see how Matthew might want to pack up the motor home, pack up his new family and hit the open road to embark on a family vacation … to the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore or even to see the World’s Largest Ball of Twine. Matthew strikes me as just the kind of guy who would want to give these sorts of family bonding memories to his newborn son Levi Alves. I gotta say, tho, that I hope that the poor family isn’t followed across the country by the paparazzi should they actually embark on a trip like this. Hopefully they’ll be able to enjoy their bonding time together without much interference. Happy Trails, McConaugheys! And remember to secure those picnic baskets … you wouldn’t want any unwanted bears treading upon your campgrounds ;)

Celebs <3 Dolce & Gabbana

Couples, especially
Friday, September 26th, 2008

Celeb couples Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony and Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves made their way out to Milan, Italy for Fashion Week there and made an appearance en masse at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2009 show. If I remember correctly, Matthew is the spokesperson for D&G’s The One fragrance and J. Lo is just besties with the designers. Here are a few pics of everyone lookin’ fab at the D&G fashion show this week:


Gah, even Marc Anthony looks a’ight in these pictures. J. Lo looks divine with her überbeyotch hairdo (not unlike the look that Top Design judge and Elle Decor editor Margaret Russell rocks on a weekly basis) and Matthew, well, he is in a shirt and suit … we should be happy he dressed for the occasion. These are great pics … and everyone looks so happy and friendly. Yeah, that’s all I got.

Levi Alves Attends His First College Football Game

Unfortch for him, it was a Texas game
Sunday, August 31st, 2008

The almost 2 month old Levi Alves McConaughey, first child of Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey, attended his first NCAA college football game yesterday in Austin, TX … daddy Matty took his newborn son and babymama to the University of Texas (his alma mater) to watch his team take on Florida Atlantic University. Here are a few pics of the happy family on the field at Texas Memorial Stadium yesterday afternoon:


Awww … I think it’s so precious that Matthew would want to take his son to the very first Texas homegame of the first season after his birth … it’s really cute seeing the little guy in his little UT headwrap. I’m sure Matthew is going to be a bit miffed when his first born son realizes that the University of Oklahoma is really the better school in both academics and athletics and decides to go there instead. So precious. All in all, tho, it looks like the family had a great day … UT beat FAU by a score of 52-10 and Matthew looked as pleased as punch. Camila looked bored to tears (and a bit confused by that finger gesture that Matthew was making her do) and I doubt Levi even woke up once … but still, they do paint a very cute family picture, don’t you think?

BTW, WTF? is up with the fact that college football has already begun this year?! Seriously, the summer *just* started and now we’re already into the Fall college football season … how depressing is that? Much congrats and love goes out to the University of Oklahoma Sooners for their defeat of Chattanooga by a score of 57-2. Sadness for the University of Michigan and Michigan State University for each losing their games yesterday :(

McConaughey Takes The Fam Back To The Beach

Nothing interferes with surfing
Monday, August 11th, 2008

Another Sunday, another trip to the beach for the McConaughey family. Matthew and his babymama Camila Alves stuffed their newborn son Levi Alves into his baby wrapper and made their way out to the beaches of Malibu, CA this weekend for another fun day of Watch Matthew Surf While We Sit On The Sand. Here are a few pics:


Honestly, the rubber suit is the only thing that makes these pics sorta interesting anymore. Until Matty actually does strap little Levi to the front of his surfboard, there ain’t much more to be had from these sort of pics. Apparently Matthew’s brother Rooster, his sister-in-law and nephew Miller Lyte (named for the beer, seriously) were in attendance for the beach fun yesterday as well. I must say, tho, that I love that the fam continues to do everything together. It’s still pretty heartwarming.

Camila Alves Launches MUXO At Kitson

Brings the kid and babydaddy along
Friday, August 8th, 2008

Here are a few pics from the Kitson launch of Camila Alves’s luxury handbag line MUXO which took place on Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA last night. As you can see, little baby Levi Alves (who is just about a month old now) was among the attendees at last night’s launch, making his way on the red carpet to support his mama in a baby carrier carried by his father Matthew McConaughey:


Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves’s son Levi is already the talk of the party. The month-old tot – who has also been to a rock concert – was rushed by dad down the red carpet and into the launch party for Muxo, a luxury handbag collection designed by Alves and her mother, Thursday night. “He’s a very well-behaved baby,” Kitson owner Fraser Ross told PEOPLE. “Camila’s adorable [with him].” Levi spent the evening in a private room with a nanny, but did get several visits from mom and dad. “Camila and her mom have been working on putting [Muxo] together for years, and then all of a sudden it’s like ka-boom,” McConaughey, 38, told PEOPLE. “It’s great. Tonight’s just about celebrating.” The support for Alves, 25, was shared, as was congratulations. “We are here for Camila, and for the baby,” said friend and designer Christian Audigier. “We have not given her the present yet. We will give it to her tonight. It’s a surprise, I cannot tell you.”

Um, I think that “ka-boom” came about right around the time that Camila started going out with Matthew … not that she couldn’t've had success all on her own but, I think his celebrity helped a bit. I’m not that familiar with the MUXO line of bags (tho, the overuse of fringe seems to be a staple of the line) but I have noticed that Matthew likes to be seen carrying around a MUXO leather manbag from time to time. They seem a bit pricey but each one is handmade by Camila and/or her mother (hee hee, I suspect mom has been doing a lot of the work lately). I like the Latino flair that they have … but again, I’m not a fan of fringe. Dunno … are these nice? Would you pony up for one of THESE bad boys?

‘OK!’ Magazine Gives More Levi Alves

More cuteness headed your way
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

OK! magazine has posted a full gallery of photos of Levi Alves and his proud & happy parents Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves on their official site, some of which were not published in the magazine last week. Here are a few of those adorable pics:


Seriously, this baby is CUUUUUUTE! I love the pics of Levi with Matthew in the hospital just after his birth — that little cap is to die for (I realize that all newborn babies get that same little cap but Levi is just rockin’ it right). I can really see how father and son may be pretty much inseparable from here on out. Matthew looks pretty darn proud of his boy … and rightfully so, he’s just the cutest thing ever :)
