LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans

Matt Damon’s Un-Diet Secrets Revealed!: Most stars are dropping the pounds before they appear on the big screen, but Matt Damon had to pack on 30 pounds for his role in the upcoming “The Informant!” – and the actor revealed the secrets to getting “doughy.” “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,” the usually toned actor revealed to Entertainment Weekly. Let’s hope Matt never lets Jason Bourne go down this road.

Brit Drops Thousands In Minutes: Britney Spears enjoyed a pricy shopping spree on Tuesday in Beverly Hills. According to TMZ, the pop star spent nearly $3,000 in just 15 minutes while shopping at the Vionnet Boutique. Some of Brit’s buys reportedly included a $520 on two dresses, a $175 silk camisole and a $195 tank top. There’s apparently no economic downturn when it comes to Britland.

Another ‘Idol’ Actor?: Watch out Jennifer Hudson, there’s a new “American Idol” feeling the itch to act. “I would love to,” David Cook told E! Online’s Marc Malkin on Tuesday when asked if he would ever work the big screen. “It’s another kind of way to be creative, so I’m very on board for that.” David, we’re sending you clips of Justin Guarini in the cinema classic, “From Justin to Kelly.” Please study and do not repeat.

Shia Is Healed!: Hey Shia, we’re glad to see your hand will live on to fight robots again without that annoying bandage. No more car wrecks please. XOXO- Roll Call!
