Matt Damon joked about losing his People magazine Sexiest Man Alive title after gaining weight for his upcoming thriller, The Informant.
"I think I lost my title," the actor was quoted by people.com as saying.
"(While I was preparing for the film) I just stopped working out and basically just ate whatever I wanted. I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, a lot of beer and basically had a great time. When you're in your 20s, you can do that kind of stuff. When you're in your 30s, it's a whole different ball game."
The film is scheduled to hit theatres March 27.

Country crooner Kenny Chesney is getting back into the swing of things after his brief marriage to Renee Zellweger in 2005.
"I feel like I've got my edge back," he told tennessean.com. "I've been playing guitar a lot lately. There was a period at the end of 2005 and really all of 2006 where I never took the guitar case out of the closet when I was at home. I was in such a personal funk after the Renee thing that I could have played Soldier Field every day of the week and wouldn't have felt much joy from it."

Miley Ray Cyrus has been in the tabloids so much, so it seems only fitting that People magazine is dedicating an entire issue to her.
It also makes sense because, according to Cyrus, she's the "Coolest. Person. Ev-er!," the Hannah Montana star joked to People. "Really, I think I'm chill. I am very hyper, but I'm very carefree."
Following that logic, Cyrus's new album, Breakout, should be the coolest. Album. Ev-er. Find out for yourself when it comes out on July 22.

Blake Lively has responded to reports that compare her to celebutante Paris Hilton.
"Since I have a dog and blonde hair, that must mean we're alike. It's a dumb thing to say. I don't think that makes us similar," Lively told Seventeen magazine, the New York Post's Page Six reported. "I don't know her, but I don't like being compared to anyone by somebody who doesn't know me. I'm my own person. I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables, and I don't like sex tapes."
