Hollywood leading man Matthew McConaughey has proposed to his longtime girlfriend and the mother of their two children, model Camila Alves, the actor said in a posting on celebrity website Whosay.com

McConaughey, star of such films as “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and “The Lincoln Lawyer,” posted a picture of him and Alves kissing near a Christmas tree on Sunday with the message: “just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas.”

WhoSay.com is a website that hosts many celebrity accounts. A spokesman for the actor did not immediately answer an e-mail seeking confirmation.

McConaughey, 42, and Alves, 28, have been a couple for several years. They have two children, Levi, 3, and Vida, who turns 2 next month.

Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend, Camilla Alves, are expecting another baby.

McConaughey announced the news in a posting on his Web site on Father’s Day.

The 39-year-old actor and Alves have an 11-month-old son, Levi.

Writes McConaughey in the posting: “Camila and I are expecting our second child, bringing more life into the world, making more to live for. The future looks bright as the family grows…”

Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner are known for their bangin’ bodies, but the romantic co-stars of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past took things to a whole new level when they battled it out by on-set pumping.

“They are actually both really intense hard workers and both athletes by nature,” director Mark Water said at the Hollywood premiere this week. “They would actually get very competitive with each other because Matthew pumps himself up by doing push-ups before every take. Eventually Jennifer started to do push-ups too, and there was one-handed push ups, who could beat the other person? They were all pushing each other out and I was sitting there with my big belly from eating Dunkin Donuts going ‘guys look we have to do a take please.’”

Garner, despite carrying baby number two in her belly, didn’t want to be out-done by her male counterpart and thus sweated it out on-set, too.

“We had to pick up a shot, when I was six months pregnant, and Matthew did push-ups all the time before to get himself pumped up,” Garner explained. “We were picking up this shot one day and so he stopped down, jumped down, and started doing his push ups. I just said ‘I am sick of watching you do these’ so I just matched him.”

However, Mr. McConaughey (who is just as famous for working out shirtless) said it was actually Garner who put the hard word on him.

“I didn’t get her doing them. She got me doing them so I would hop down and do ten or so (push-ups) before a scene to just kind of break a little bit of a sweat. She would bop down and do fifteen and she started upping it every single time,” he argued. “Its more mental actually than physical for when you are doing it on a daily basis when I am working. It’s just about a little physical excursion — kind of loosens up my brain and helps me be more creative.”

So who won the war?

“Matthew,” Water said confidently.

And even though McConaughey was pretty laid back over the battle of the sexes, when it came to finding someone to match his top-notch abs it seems that’s when the inner-diva came out.

According to the director, of the actor/Sexiest Man Alive title-holder didn’t give the green-light to any of the male models they had try-out for the part of his body-double.

“Matthew’s abs are trademarked. We had a long shot we needed a body-double for but he didn’t approve anyone,” Waters told Tarts at the premiere in Hollywood on Monday. “Nobody matched up or had abs as good. I made him lift up his shirt, and I decided Matthew really does have the best.”

Speaking of the best, McConaughey told Tarts that since becoming a father last year life couldn’t be better.

“I’ve got more stuff to do now, more stuff to fill the days,” he said with a smile. “I’m probably having more fun because my favorite people to hang with are Levi and Levi’s mom. We totally rock, we jam.”

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Matthew McConaughey seems to star in every third romantic comedy—he’s the perfect date-movie draw. Not only does the 39-year-old Texan possess a pec/dimple combination potent enough to hypnotize theaters full of women, he’s also got something to offer their dates. What straight man could resist indulging in a McConaughey’s-my-bro fantasy, complete with light beer and hours spent chillin’ and grillin’ outside the actor’s famous Airstream, with the possibility of a wee-hours nude conga jam? Nicknamed “the Redneck Buddha” by actual bud and fellow shirt-eschewer Lance Armstrong, the onetime romancer of Penélope Cruz and Sandra Bullock has lately been hangin’ with Brazilian model Camila Alves, who last July gave birth to their son, Levi. This month, McConaughey steps out on his two-time rom-com partner Kate Hudson to woo Jennifer Garner in The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.

ELLE: Did you have any odd misunderstandings about human sexuality as a kid?

MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY: Oh yeah. From checking out Playboy I always thought—jeezum, we still don’t have a better word for it than vagina, do we?—I thought it was behind the pubic hair, and it faced horizontal. You know, east/west, not south. So the first time I got to third base, man, I was hunting for a long time.

ELLE: You could have easily missed third altogether and wound up in a place so forbidden it never even got its own base.

MM: And I didn’t want to go there. I was real spooked about hunting around, so it took about an hour to find.

ELLE: Congrats on fatherhood. You were quoted saying that during Camila’s 14 hours of contractions, you “got tribal on it” and provided a soundtrack of Brazilian music. Having also attempted to deejay my wife’s labor, I’m curious: At any point did she threaten to shove the boom box down your throat?

MM: Oh, they’ll snap. Camila was the one who wanted the music, but she was also really quick to say, “Skip that fuckin’ song!” So here I was blazing through this playlist while she’s nodding her head yay or nay, and I’m like, This next song better have that groove or I’m going to have to run across the bed and change it.

ELLE: Your brother Rooster famously named his son Miller Lyte McConaughey. When your son was born, was there any impulse to follow in that family naming tradition?

MM: Like calling him Jose Cuervo? No. I wouldn’t dare try to compete with Rooster. Now he’s got a daughter coming, and I think her name is going to be Margarita. I’m serious.

ELLE: Barbara Walters seemed to be hitting on you during your 2006 interview, which ended with you rubbing her feet. If you’d both been single, might you have let her have her way with you?

MM: I would’ve had to tell those cameras to cut.

ELLE: All joking aside…?

MM: Look, I think Anthony Quinn once said, “There’s something wrong with any heterosexual man under 80 if he can’t find an angle with every woman.” There’s a lot of truth to that.

The “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” star tells next month’s Men’s Journal that his father, “Big Jim” McConaughey, once told him: “If you ever make a move, whether it’s for a kiss or touching her down there, and you feel the slightest bit of resistance, stop. A lot of times, after you stop, they’re going to then say, now it’s OK. Don’t. That time, that day, that’s as far as you go.” The actor says, “It’s a great lesson. You do that, and you know what? Women do come back. They say, what? Nobody stops! They want to go out with you again. And eventually you don’t have to stop.”

Matthew McConaughey has taken the phrase “Man’s best friend” to heart. After picking up matching pairs of sunglasses for himself and partner Camila Alves at the Carrera Cafe at SXSW, the actor inquired, “Do you have any sunglasses for my dog [BJ]?” The “Surfer Dude” star – in Austin to promote his new band, Mishka – hung out at the cafe while Alves watched their baby son Levi. Sadly, Matteo didn’t request any shades for his bambino. We’re guessing he assumed his “boys” could always share.

Hollywood heartthrob Matthew McConaughey has once again been leaving beach-goers bemused with his bizarre public yoga performances.

The Tropic Thunder star was spotted flexing his muscles while wearing a white tennis visor backwards near his home in Malibu.

His strenuous – and apparently spiritual – work-out included a series of stretches and sitting in the lotus position and praying.

Mr McConaughey, 39, who last week celebrated his girlfriend Camila Alves’ 27th birthday, was also joined on the beach yesterday by his dog BJ.

One onlooker said: ‘It was the funniest thing because he looks so serious while he’s doing the yoga. He’s every bit as funny as some of his films. He just doesn’t know it.’

The star, who has appeared in films including A Time To Kill, The Wedding Planner and Fools Gold and once dated Penelope Cruz, has been a yoga fan for years.

Other celebrity devotees include Madonna, Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie and Uma Thurman.

But yoga didn’t interest BJ a bit. He preferred to dig in the sand.

On Thursday night Mr McConaughey treated his Brazillian model Miss Alves to a delicious birthday dinner at LA celebrity haunt Nobu.

They were joined by friends and fellow stars, including the singer Pink.
