Matthew McConaughey’s mom wrote a book. This is the “shocking” part to make you want to buy it. US Magazine says:

In her new book, I Amaze Myself!, Kay McConaughey dishes on everything from her son Matthew’s conception to how her husband died in a compromising position with her! “On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love,” Kay says exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “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,” she says. “But it was just the best way to go!” And when her man couldn’t be revived, she made sure he was taken from the house in the buff. I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey – and his gift,’ she says.”

Wow! Kay McConaughey is awesome ! Her son is a pothead, her grandson’s name is Miller Lyte, and her husband died on top of her. Imagine that, on top of her! What an extraordinary life! Please Kay, tell us your secret!

On an appearance to CNN’s medical show “House Call with Dr. Sanjay Gupta,” Matthew McConaughey said that he’s planning to plant his son Levi’s placenta in the ground. Fair enough.

“That’s fertile ground, so to speak. So we’re gonna plant. It’s gonna be in the orchards and it’s gonna bear some wonderful fruit. “When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river… and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan – whatever aboriginal tribe that was – all the placentas went under that one tree.

“It was this huge behemoth of just health and strength. This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous.”

Well, who doesn’t love the smell of freshly-tilled placenta decomposing in the heat of a August afternoon? I know I do. I’m glad he’s not making a banana-flax placenta smoothie out of it to enjoy before his morning jog or using it as an invigorating face mask to open his pores.

Levi McConaughey makes his debut appearance on the cover of this week’s OK! Magazine, along with Daddy Matthew and Mommy Camila. Matthew was in the room with Camila during the delivery, and was more than happy to divulge all the birthing details:

“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 were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let’s go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. [I said,] ‘Let’s handle this… let’s stay in the rhythm. Don’t let the contraction be more than you.’”

I can’t think of anything worse for the birthing experience than Matthew McConaughey “going tribal” in between my legs while a seven pound larva tries to rip its way out of my vagina.
