Debra Messing is a big ol' complainer. She hates to exercise, and she doesn't care who knows it. But, with a job like hers, it's not really something she can skip.

How does this Reno 911! star keep in such svelte shape when her kids are keeping her busy and away from the gym? She has some special equipment that she uses in front of the TV, and you'll be surprised at what it is.

Have you given much thought to Sandra Bullock's butt? We're thinking about it, and we can tell you how to get it.

Matt Damon's trying to get back into shape

People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive Matt Damon has lost a little of his sexy recently. The actor gained a bunch of weight for his role in The Informant, and is working on taking it all back off.

So when his brother challenged him to take part in the Escape to Miami triathlon, Matt Damon decided to give it a shot. He was part of a team that included his brother Kyle, stepfather Jay Jones, and friend Barry Hetherington. Matt didn't have to do the whole triathlon, mind you. His portion was a 6.2-mile leg of the road race, which he ran in 59 minutes, 54 seconds. "I knew I was in trouble when the old guy with the oxygen tank passed me," he quipped.

So Matt has a little work left to do, but that's OK. He's putting himself out there and working hard at regaining his fitness. I don't know if I'd be willing to put on weight for a movie role; it seems like it's a lot easier to maintain a healthy weight than to try and lose 20 pounds or more. But then again, if I was earning Matt Damon's salary, I might have to think about it!

Matt Damon not so sexy in '08

We told you back in December that PEOPLE magazine's 2007 Sexiest Man Alive would plump up for a role in the upcoming thriller The Informant. Sure enough, six months later, Matt Damon is, yes, plump.

Damon estimates that he's put on 20 to 30 pounds -- not to look fat, really, but to look "doughy," he says. Mission accomplished.

How did the Oscar-winner pack on the pounds? Well, he did just what we preach here at That's Fit not to do. He stopped working out and basically ate whatever he wanted.

"I ate a lot of In-N-Out, a lot of burgers, a lot of beer and basically had a great time," he said. A great time it may have been but I bet in no time, this guy will be back in fighting shape, looking more like the photos featured in the gallery below.

More on Damon's expanding waistline in the Bodywatch section of this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands today.

Workplace Fitness: Matt Damon on balancing career, fitness, & family

Posted: Aug 29th 2007 6:00AM by Rigel Celeste
Filed under: Celebrities and Entertainment

I've always thought how great it would be to have a job that naturally keeps you in shape, and of the jobs in the world that do that being a celebrity is at the top of the list. Starring in an action movie often means months of vigorous training and workouts before filming even begins, and a star like Matt Damon would know that better than anybody with his third Jason Bourne movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, out this summer.

Damon, who's 36 years old, has been in famously good shape to play the ex-hitman character over the years, but this time was different: he has a family now. Damon was quoted as saying of his life before "I really used to have no life outside movies. I'd work all day, go to the gym and go to sleep." But then he married his wife Luciana back in 2005 and they now have a 1 year old daughter together, Isabella, both which give him a reason to come home after work instead of always working out. And despite the film being shot in a total of 8 different locations the family was only separated once.
