Matthew McConaughey cohosted the Veuve Cllicquot Polo Classic at Liberty State Park in New York along with his sexy wife Camila Alves. As far as we know Matthew doesn’t play polo, but he looks great in his Gatsby inspired white suit on a very hot day.

Prince William and Kate will only be spending three days in Southern California during their US visit in July, but some of William’s time will be on horseback. He’s a sucker for polo and when the Santa Barbara Polo Club invited him to their 100th anniversary weekend, he accepted. Our friend and royals watcher from London, Richard Mineards, who is now the society columnist for the Montecito Journal, had a hand in making this happen. Richard says that William and Kate will have a $4000 ticket fund raising event for charity as well as an exhibition polo game in which club members are invited to play with the future king for (estimated) $100,000. (Keep in mind some of the world’s wealthiest polo players have homes in Santa Barbara and they’ll be fighting for this opportunity.) William loves any excuse to play polo and all the money goes to William and Harry’s charities. We wonder if the royal pair will stay at Oprah’s house.

We didn’t know “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh, 65, was a polo player. Above, he’s appearing at the Miami Beach Polo World Cup. Back in 1981 when Walsh’s son Adam was kidnapped in Sears and killed, he was a partner in a hotel management company in Florida. Walsh became an activist for missing and exploited children and started hosting “America’s Most Wanted” in 1988. It’s Fox’s longest running TV series and it has nabbed over a thousand criminals. Walsh has no patience with child predators. He was criticized when he advised women to never have a male babysitter. He said “It’s about minimizing the risks. What dog is more likely to bite and hurt you? A doberman, not a poodle.”
