In Hollywood, there exists a very brave type of actor, one who is willing to completely morph his or her body in the larger direction in order to better fit the director’s vision. Renee Zellweger is perhaps the most famous of this breed—and she’s about to do it again for “Bridget Jones 3.” Matt Damon is the most recent member of this elite club. Who’s gained the most? What did they do to pack on the pounds? Keep reading for our Weight Gain Hall of Fame.

Who: Matt Damon for “The Informant”
Total Gained: 30 pounds
How? “I started eating like crazy and drinking dark beer. Between meals on set, I’d eat a No. 1 Value Meal at McDonald’s and then Doritos on top of it. It was absolute heaven.” [NY Daily News]
We Like Him Better ... Sorry, Matt, but you were hot before. We hope you lose all the weight when the movie is over.

Recently, we brought you the definitive guide to man style for the fall. Today, inspired by The New York Times, we bring you the latest in absurd man haircuts. Perhaps we’ll start with a partial mullet and extra long tail?

Inspired by Men.Style.com’s eclectic collection of the hottest men’s fashion items for this fall, we’ve put together our own list of male must-haves. Style.com is of the opinion that working Mexican poncho fabrics into everything you own is the sh*t. They believe that pants aren’t complete without leather p*** guards on the crotch. Know what we say? Not enough. We’ll do them one better with our suggestions. Like Bill Cosby sweaters. They’re so big for fall. You didn’t know? Oh. We feel sad for you.

On a recent episode of “Entourage,” Turtle (played by Jerry Ferrara) spent an inordinate amount of time marveling that Katherine Heigl would ever have sex with chubby Seth Rogen in “Knocked Up.” It was a joke that started off a little funny, but when it kept going and going (and going) it got mean. For starters, Turtle shouldn’t talk. He, of all people, should know just how hot a chubby teddy-bear dude can be. In fact, I have such a raging crush on Jerry Ferrara, that I’m still tuning into the HBO show, despite its flailing storyline.

In honor of Seth Rogen and Jerry Ferrara, not to mention the first episode of “More To Love”—which airs tonight on ABC and is, essentially, “The Bachelor” with a few extra pounds—I’ve put together a slideshow of dudes whose sex appeal is only amplified by the fact that they don’t waste precious sexytime hours at the stupid gym.

It’s easy to imagine that Hollywood is one giant orgy but, in reality, celebrities have to be careful with their sexcapades since their lives are always on blast. Even though he’s like eleventy, Warren Beatty was once quite the heartthrob. And in model Léon Bing’s upcoming memoir Swans and Pistols she says that even though Beatty came to a party with his girlfriend Julie Christie, he said to her, “If I wasn’t here with someone, we’d be in the upstairs bathroom right now with the door locked and your panties down.” [NY Post]

Eek! He said, ‘Panties!’ Douche chills! Thankfully, the constant paparazzi presence keeps today’s male stars from laying on the sleaze too thick. But here are a few famous creeps who forgot that what you say today ends up in the tabloid tomorrow.

In America, July 1st just means four days until Fourth of July fireworks. But to our neighbors to the north, it’s Canada Day! Admittedly, we know very little about Canada, other than Michael Moore has a hard-on for their nationalized health care and Montreal’s strip clubs are bangin’. 

But we’re all over Canada’s cultural exports, particularly the ones who look like they’d keep us warm on those chilly Canadian nights. Click through to see Canucks we’d like to…oh, come now, you know what we were going to rhyme that one with.

Instead of worshiping athletes and heartthrobs, I’ve always been more obsessed mythological men and circus freaks. I have a soft spot for Tree Man and am totally rooting for Wolfboy on his new dating show. Weird…I know. I am intrigued by the concept of having your oddness on display for the whole world to see, since I keep my fairly well hidden. But I guess it’s impossible to hide a branch growing out of your hand or a full coat of fur on your face? Either way, I am a sucker for an anomaly.

For all you ladies out there like me, I have discovered a new site called Boytaur.net—a collection of dudes with “at least” four legs (yes, sometimes including the penis, you dirty birds). Think boy on top, pony down below. I strangely kind of agree with the website when they say, “There’s something wildly, almost primally, attractive about a guy with four legs.” Giddy up! Here some of my favorite-featured Boytaurs, like this one who looks so pensive and thoughtful with his sweet face and his Vulcan ears. It’s not easy having hoofs.

You probably know Sir Michael Gambon as the dude who plays sweet old Albus Dumbledore in the “Harry Potter” movies. Well, I will never be able to look at this old wizard the same way again, because he’s having a child—at the age of 68! Although he’s married to Lady Anne, he’s having the kid with Philippa Hart, a woman with whom he already has a 17-month-old son. Unsurprisingly, Sir Mikey is a little worried about how his wife is going to react. This playa usually bounces around between his wife’s house, Philippa’s house, and his bachelor pad. [Telegraph UK] 

Unfortunately, gross Gambon isn’t nearly the only guy of note who’s procreated well past AARP-age. Here’s a look at other super old dads.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is in serious trouble. A model he allegedly hired to attend one of his swank parties has released some pictures that show her and some other sexy chicks posing in the PM’s bathroom last year. The model, 23-year-old Barbara Montereale, also said a high-end escort, Patrizia D’Addario, went to bed with Silvio for more than $1,000. And Montereale said a bunch of other young gals were there, too, and some of them seemed to be on pretty familiar terms with ol’ Silvio, calling him “Papi.” And an acquantance of pervy Berlusconi is under intevestigation for allegedly recruiting gals for more than just innocent partying.

Sadly, politicans and protitutes are old time partners in crime. Here are some other policial peeps who’ve been naughty.

In an interview with Parade, Daniel Radcliffe, 20, talked about dating. He broke my heart when he said, “Girls my own age are not really an option…They have to be entertained more than older girls do.” [US Magazine] — Maybe if I explain to him that I’m not really like most girls his age, he’ll reconsider?

It’s soooo common to see young girls gettin’ it on with older dudes. But in the celebrity world, things often run in the other direction. Here’s a collection of Hollywood guys who think that women only get better with age.
