Matt Damon gets 'doughy' for new role

Play video

(NECN/ABC) - Matt Damon's marriage is in good shape, but his waistline isn't. The star has packed on 20 to 30 pounds for his role in the upcoming thriller "The Informant." He says he needs to be "doughy" for the part and jokes he likely will lose his title as sexiest man alive.

This time, Christie Brinkley took the stand in her divorce trial. The supermodel testified that her world was shattered when she learned her
architect husband was having an affair with an 18-year-old. Peter Cook also admitted to an expensive internet porn habit. The couple is battling for custody of the children.

And there are reports that A-Rod's marriage is in trouble. The Yankee star has been linked to Madonna and now there are reports his wife has left him for singer Lenny Kravitz. Kravitz denies any affair, as does Madonna.

And while we're on the topic, Hulk Hogan's nasty divorce just got nastier. His wife claims he's stalking her and has gone to court to stop him. Linda Hogan claims Hulk has a history of violence towards her...his lawyer calls the allegation pure fantasy.
