What do you do when you're a super famous A-list celebrity and you can pretty much do whatever you want?

You hang out with other super famous A-listers as well! Duh!

That's exactly what was going on at Buckinghamshire in the UK yesterday.

Matt Damon was spotted hanging out with George Clooney on the set of their new film The Monuments Men.

Damon was also seen riding a horse drawn cart. Such a cool job he has, getting to play make believe with a real live horse.

That is one cute horsie!

Lookin' good you too! Keep up the film making!

Check out the video of Matt horsing around AFTER THE JUMP!!

The race for the next mayor of New York City may be a historic one.

Not only for humans, but for horses, too!

Horse drawn carriages in New York City have become a big issue these days.

Animal activists say it is severe animal cruelty to have horses drawing carriages around cars in the city. Plus they say the horses are treated very poorly!

But others say that to remove carriage horses from the city will put 300 people out of a job!

One of the supporters of carriage horses is Christine C. Quinn - a top candiate to replace Michael Bloomberg as mayor of the Big Apple.

But one of her main opponents is not a supporter.

It's a sad fact of life that even though some people may love their animals, they're just not able to provide for them.

That seems to be the case with Travis the horse.

Travis used to be a carriage horse at Disney and may have even pulled Cinderella's carriage in San Diego's Seaport Village.

This is getting ridiculous.

Another carriage horse collapsed in New York City, Sunday, Dec. 4th. This time it was at 59th and Fifth.

Because of the holiday season, these horses are being worked until they collapse… literally!

Just terrible.

Check out the above video of them trying to pull the horse back to its feet.

If you live in New York and want to call a rep and politely ask them to support the ban on carriage horses click HERE.

This is getting ridiculous.

A THIRD carriage horse has collapsed in New York City.

Lea Michele tweeted:

"A 3rd horse collapses in NYC!!! Are you kidding me!! I'm so sad… @peta @ChoMatic @PamelaDAnderson we have to end this now."

We're sad too. Those poor horses.

PETA said:

"If it seems like just last week that Mayor Bloomberg was callously dismissing the death of a horse used for New York’s infamous carriage rides, that’s because it was.

And in the days since Bloomberg made unintentionally ironic comments like '[they] probably wouldn’t be alive if they didn’t have a job' (talk about a catch 22), there have been two more horse-drawn carriage 'accidents.' (Although what else can be expected when sensitive, easily frightened horses are forced to work 10-hour days in all weather extremes on New York City’s crowded streets?)

The most recent incident happened during Friday’s rush hour when a horse fell down in the middle of the busy street. Witnesses said the horse either collapsed on his own or because his leg became caught in the carriage when he bucked."

U should go sign the petition to ban horse-drawn carriages in NYC: HERE.
