Johnny Depp has been named Sexiest Man Alive 2009.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star has been awarded the title by the US magazine People for the second time, after first being given the accolade in 2003. He is the third man to gain the honor twice, matching George Clooney and Brad Pitt.

Hugh Jackman can't wait to lose his Sexiest Man Alive title.

The 'X Men Origins: Wolverine' star topped People magazine's annual poll last year and although he was delighted by the honor, the actor admits he is ready to pass the title onto someone else so he can stop looking after himself.

Matt Damon had to pull out of a charity fundraiser because of a "family emergency of a serious nature".

The 'Bourne Ultimatum' star was due to host an event for OneXOne - a charity which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of impoverished children around the world - in San Francisco tonight (23.10.09) but instead had to return to his home in Boston yesterday evening (22.10.09).

Matt Damon likes George Clooney because he has a great house.

The 'Informant' actor befriended George when they starred in 'Ocean's 11' in 2001, and has maintained the relationship because George loves splashing cash on his pals.
