In their new movie, “The Good Shepherd,” Matt Damon gets hot and heavy with Angelina Jolie, which could create a sticky situation if Matt and Angie’s real-life boyfriend Brad Pitt weren’t such close friends.
But the lip lock and love scenes were all in a day’s work for Damon and Jolie, who co-star in their star-studded spy thriller.
The sexy actor admitted to “Extra” that he was worried about how Brad, as well as his own wife Luciana, would react to their love scenes.
“She's fine with it,” Damon said of Luciana. “She knows Angie and Brad, obviously, so you know I think it was probably more awkward for me and Angie.”

Rosie O'Donnell jetted off to Miami over the weekend to raise money for her charity, "Rosie's For All Kids," aboard the Norwegian Pearl cruise liner.

"We've raised a half a million dollars this evening," Rosie told "Extra."
In between frames of her bowling game, the funny lady set the record straight about reports she's leaving "The View" for her ultimate dream job: hosting the game show, "The Price is Right."

With a family history of breast and ovarian cancer, Wendy underwent genetic testing, and that is when she got the shocking wake-up call that she carried a positive gene for both diseases.
“When I was told you have the cancer gene, I was in disbelief and in shock,” Wendy admitted. “My second reaction was what do I need to do to save my life?”

Special Agent Jack Bauer will be back in action when the new season of “24” kicks off Jan. 14.
But if you can’t wait until then to see the sexy man in action, look for Kiefer Sutherland in Men’s Vogue, as he sits down to dish about everything from his love life to his action-packed role.
On love, Sutherland admits, “I guess I am better at being a friend than being a husband; there are some people that are great loners, but it is certainly not how I wanted to live my life.”
