Matthew Perry was at the release of Jo Gartins?s Weddings hosted by Brooke Shields.

After lengthy on-again, off-again negotiations, the ?Friends? star has signed on to star in Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme?s new untitled drama for NBC, previously known as ?Studio 7.? D.L. Hughley and Steven Weber also have been cast in the ensemble show, set behind the scenes at a fictional long-running sketch-comedy series in the mold of ?Saturday Night Live.? Perry will play Matt Albie, a genius comic writer who was forced out of his position as co-executive producer on the sketch show after a dispute with the network, UBS. Sorkin wrote the part with Perry in mind.

Matthew flashes a smile and his muscles as he leaves a Beverly Hills gym. He has been working out to buff up his once skinny frame. And he was happy to show off the results to cameras wearing a cut off T-shirt and trousers.
