Gerard Butler Hits Hotelier's Birthday Bash

This looks recent…I believe he’s still in LA..Nice shot Gerry !!

I love khaki and white together. It’s so English Patient. It’s appropriate anywhere. He looks terrific! Looks like he had a good time.
~K

He looks great bottom line.

His eyes look funny. Don’t his eyes look strange? Kind of “stepfordy”? “Gerry, don’t mess with your face, boy, or the wolfgirl gonna getcha!

Well, it looks like Clamsie was right about one thing. Hunter Killer appears to be off the table.

More of the pics from above:

His shy side is so adorable. I love his sloppy gait. He walks like a lug! LOL No, he was nice, very nice. Played along and was a sweetie.

gross

@Reviews: Yea I noticed that they got that wrong. They probably picked it up from JJ’s headline above!

Exactly! JJ has both events separate, but in the headlines it confused them.. JJ mentions that last week he went to the birthday bash for Jason Pomeranc and that last night he was all ” smiles while leaving a restaurant after having dinner on Thursday (May 3) in Beverly Hills, Calif”
.
It’s another example of how the tabs should not be taken at face value. Not everything they report is accurate. Just thought I should make a point of that since we argue so much here about so much hearsay.

gerry looks great but has anyone noticed the tan pants they are getting a lot of wear still think hes handsome and glad to see that cute little smile love to all the posters tonight

I don’t know how they can make such a claim. They don’t know for sure that the project is off the table. It could just be delayed
http://www.ineedmyfix.com/2012/05/04/gerard-butler-will-no-longer-hunt-nor-kill-for-relativity/
but I can’t say I am crazy about Antoine Fuqua partnering with GB on any project. I hope it ain’t so.

GB talking about Coriolanus with scenes from the movie. Really good. He was totally hot in that film.

@Reviews:
“Didn’t you post something in the last thread about Gerry not having a butt. You apparently didn’t like the way his pants were falling on his hips.”
.
That was bystander, not Toronto.

@Toronto – sorry for the confusion.
.
Speaking about GB’s butt, here he talks about his physiques and butt among other things. LOL! He says he had Jennifer Lopez azz for “300”.

This interview was probably his best look. He had so much passion back then, much more than today. His enthusiasm seems a lot more reserved these days. That passion and enthusiasm made him very attractive on top of his handsomeness.

It’s also important to remember the critics did not like MGP. It only got a 28% approval rate on RT. The majority of critics did not like it. The failure of MGP at the box-office was not Kavanagh’s fault. He was trying to get theatres to accept a small, independent, and critically panned movie. He had an uphill battle during a season when all the studios were competing for screen time with their best products (in time for awards).
It is also important to note that Gerry has remained personal friends and business partners with Kavanagh. So perhaps this was not some giant betrayal of Kavanagh against the poor, unwitting Gerry. Maybe, just maybe, his fans have no clue what was really going on behind the scenes. Fans of Gerry’s, who are openly skewering Kavanagh, are likely not helping Gerry at all, only embarrassing him.

Why not think Gerry dropped Hunter Killer, as he clearly has better projects in mind, like Motor City and even Manhunt….nobody thought about that of course, as we have Relativity fans here it seems….ridiculous haters grab every chance to make it his fault….

@bw:
ridiculous phannies grab every chance to make nothing his fault

@MGP:
Well said. I agree with the part about relentless degrading of anyone Gerry works with/for when a project gets review. Too many like-kind projects out there… something different is needed. Two words: Beautiful Joe. Two more words: Gerry – Spielberg.
-
Sometimes deals fall though. It happens. Again, feel the industry is struggling. So many other ways to see and have the movie experience than in theaters. It seems spectacles are the trend?
-
Me, I prefer more reality-based thought provoking independent films but am not above fantasy si-fi blockbusters either, so feel they have their place. Seems these big-buck budgets weigh in on other projects perhaps?
-
Yes, feel the Malibu report (and similar ones) counter the others who seem to be a small part of a smear campaign. Just feel whatever is behind it, isn’t really worth it — and this too shall pass.
-
Gerry will rebound because he’s well respected beyond that and Of Men and Mavericks appears to be an awesome something new coming up!
-
Then Playing The Field is a different fare as well. So 2012 could be a very successful year for Gerry. Feel he’s learning to stand on his own two feet again, be his own man, and I respect that. I respect what guides him.
~K

Discussion question. What happens to people when they go to Hollywood?
~K
who thinks it’s not where you’ve been that’s important but where you’re heading that counts!

Good Morning JJers! Looks like GB was at the Coldplay concert last night. Also, according to the ladies at WO and Priyanka Chopra’s Twitter, she IS in LA so perhaps they went to the concert together or were seen talking there? Who knows??
.
Zeynep Ongoren ‏ @zeynepongoren
Waiting for Coldplay with Gerard Butler.. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

I love Coldplay. Glad he got to hear their new stuff and some of his old favorites as well! Nice evening for anyone! Very cool, thanks for sharing!
~K

Yeah, have all their stuff (but the new release). Used their lyrics a lot in my old story. (sigh) “When you’re tooooo in love to let it gooooo… stuck in reverse…” LOL
-
Wonder what she was handing him that put that lovely smile on his face?
~K
who loved the hat and good to see his soft green scarf again… like Folk Implosion sings, “E.Z.L.A. cold like the desert at night”

Gerry, get out of Hollywood. Ewan moved his family to Hollywood but he has that to fall back on and be normal. What does Gerry have? A bunch of hangeroners, wannabes and playboy losers…for f@ck’s sake. I keep hoping he will turn things around for himself and get real.I am sick and tired of this fascination he has with being American and fitting in. If he’s dating Priyanka or whoever else that will get him out of Hollywood…all the better I say.

He ain’t leaving HW, he’ll hang on in there as long as he can. He loves the glamour, attention and the fakery.   I remember a quote from someone who knew him in Scotland. They basically said he was just shallow. I think that’s true.  Just look at his so – called close friends. If you saw them in a bar you’d run a mile because they look so mean and sleazy. 

As for that Chopra chick, she is beautiful, but as fake as fake can be. So maybe they’re well suited. Shame, the guy is turning out to be one big fat disappointment.

I drank a beer with Gerald Butler tonight after a Cold Play concert, I figure this was random enough to tweet about.

more about Hunter Killer.
.
“Over at Relativity, director Antoine Fuqua now has one less deadline to worry about. His Hunter Killer, which had been scheduled for a December 21, 2012 opening, has now been pulled off the schedule altogether. Gerard Butler has been lined up to play a submarine captain Joe Glass since last fall, while Sam Worthington‘s been circling the part of a Navy SEAL. The story sees the characters teaming up to rescue the president of Russia, who’s been taken prisoner in a military coup, in an attempt to stop World War III.”
http://www.slashfilm.com/release-dates-warner-bros-moves-the-seventh-son-beautiful-creatures-robot-frank-dated-hunter-killer-bumped/
.
It doesn’t look like it was Gerry’s fault. It’s more like Relativity can’t get its act together.
.
At first I thought Antoine Fuqua was working with Avi Learner and Mellenium, but from this article it looks like he’s more associated with Relativity. Who knows? I don’t like both Relativity and Antoine Fuqua. I hope Gerry has the least amount of business with either one of them.

@Can’tGetEnough:
What a sweet video of GB leaving Coldplay party. I love the outfit he wore as well. No slobbery there.
.
So it looks like they were 2 1/2 couples.
The couple upfront driving the car.
Ariel with his lady, went all the way in the back seat
Gerry without a date seating in the middle seat. No Priyanka Chopra in sight. What was that all about?
.
Anyone recognize the couple in the front seat? A real gorgeous couple.

@hunter killer:Why do you say the film was pulled from Gerry given Relativity’s poor performance in general of late not just MGP and given their rather shaky financial situation sounds to me like Gerry and Antoine Fuqua ran from a sinking submarine.

Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.”

“…Beer does not constitute alcohol in my book…”

Seriously??? Here is a description of beer for you…

“Beer is an alcoholic beverage made from malted grains, hops, yeast, and water. Beer contains alcohol. Glucose is the main sugar that is converted to alcohol. Many reactions take place inside the yeast that convert the glucose molecules to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.”

@GerrysDaisyDuck:
.
Here is a better sock for you GerrysCrazyDope…

@Manny:

Totally agree! I think she uses him when she needs the PR. JMO. But you’re all wrong about GerrysDaisyDuck new sock. It should be GerrysScaryStalkerChick! She’s giving him the wrong “bird”!

He is obviously with one of those poor misguided girls in the video of him leaving the Coldplay concert. But the way he’s carrying on, it’s as if he’s embarrassed to be seen with them. 

He’s like a stupid, thick, vain,  ignorant, teenage jock who’s porking a plain fat girl he really likes, but doesn’t want anyone to know.  Ridiculously immature.  He has no basic manners when it comes to taking women out in public. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

@Whatshedonenow:

I don’t seriously think either of the girls was with him. However, that’s not to say the one he might be with, as it was apparently a date night, they picked up around the corner waiting somewhere out of site of the paps because Gerry didn’t have to get in and go clear over to the other side of the car. The seat next to him beside the door was left empty. It would have made better sense if he was the odd man out, to have climbed all the way in the back by himself. He’s so clever.

@Whatshedonenow: I totally agree, although I have a little bit of a different take. I think he has such an inflated sense of where he stands on the HW totem pole, he thinks everyone would actually care if he was seen with someone on a date. In his mind, there would probably be a “media frenzy” and it would hurt his “career.” He’s very immature, and I also think his ego is huge, and he doesn’t have a very reality-based view of where is career is at the moment.

The blonde in the front seat is Amy, Gerry’s assistant (she also passes something to Gerry in the car). You can see her face for a brief moment as she turns back around. Wasn’t there a tweet that Gerry set Amy up with her new boyfriend? I think Gerry is friends with both Amy and her new BF, so it makes sense they would all go out together. The other couple was Ariel and a brunette. Her reddish brown hair looks the same as a woman we’ve seen Ariel with before.

@ boredstiff

Exactly.

For god’s sake folks. He’s got his friends and you got yours. get a life !

@Living: We’re just passing the time with mindless celebrity drivel, much like yourself. That’s what gossip blogs are for. Unless you are one of the stalkers, that is.

@British Cows: Looks like you have a spectacular life yourself, phannie. Do you bring out the nasty sock to keep the boring threads going? Anything to talk about your idol day and night, huh?

@malibumillie:
.
If you notice GFW’s posts keep going up w up thumbs and everyone else is down thumbs… Doesn’t take much to figure it out… Just shows how much GFW depends on this for validation. I just chalk it up to her insecurity. Kind of sad…

@question:
.
Always…

@Miriam – UK: I noticed that, too. I wish someone would tell him to button up his shirts. He’s starting to look like a bad Vegas lounge act.

@Manny:
“Just shows how much GFW depends on this for validation. ”
.
You no different yourself. You practically live here, although silently at times. There was a time you depended on your friendships here and used it to validate your empty lonely life, so don’t kid yourself or us. This place is your only source of socializing it seems.

@Sweet:
.
Yeah right whatever. What does it say about you that I am the only thing that brings your ass here???

He used to be soo hot esp in Dear Frankie. what happened

Yikes, sorry, I meant, accept that the rumors about him are just that…..rumors. None of us here that do not know Gerard B. personally know the exact truth. Anyhow….again, have a great Sunday all. ;)

@oh: what happened ? Dear Frankie was nearly 10 years ago…he is older. but he is still sexy !!

@Anastasia Beaverhausen:
“Oh ya! @GFW: I agree with Emma. Keira Knightley’s over-acting was almost overwhelming in “A Dangerous Method”. Honestly, I was most impressed by Viggo’s performance as Freud. I do also agree that Jung and Freud’s friendship ended due to their egos. But also because of Freud’s close minded-way of thinking regarding his theories.”
-
When did the break come Carl and Sigmund between them (for you)? Care to share? Do you feel Sabina played a part in it? If so, how? What made Freud turn that photo face down then lock all those letters in a box? What’s your thoughts? What’s your opinion of Carl’s ‘creaking bookcase’ scene? And Freud’s reaction?
~K
who understands how when Carl said his wife was his house and Sabina was the perfume in the air knowing he married for money, safety, structure but not for love… and the scene at the end with Sabina, pregnant as he professes his complete love for her was so well done thinking the films subject matter kept it from being better received (esp) here in the U.S.A.

@angelsrock: This is a gossip blog, NOT a fangirlz site. People are entitled to post their opinions, good or bad. The fan sites are the place to go if all you want to hear is how wonderful he is.

They do it to invite people in for debate by taking shots at Gerry with their “reality” to get people to open up because, for some reason, he has not lived up to their expectations, whatever they were. Said as much in the other thread. Then anyone who can shed some light on it is a “phannie” or delusional, or whatever while he’s out having the time of his life head-set dancing and creating future work!
-
The A Dangerous Method topic can very well be Gerry-related because perhaps many actors find their way into acting driven by some childhood trauma with a need to please or show ‘them’ something? That they had it in them all along? And also how Sigmund and Carl saw things differently like his fans? Sigmund wanted only to says “this is your problem” with Carl saying, “Agreed, but this is how you manage or cure it.” We’re two teams. Me on one side; them on the other.
-
Yet, what price success? Is/was it worth it? Is it still worth it for Gerry in particular? Has he touched on all his messages? No. Think these latest film projects are his latest issue with ‘them’.
~K

Angelrock

Have to say, I wouldn’t go to a gossip site about a celeb and expect post after post of fawning nonsense about him or her, there are things called fansites for that. I EXPECT a gossip site to have differing opinions about a star- any star, not just GB. This is not a personal website for those who love GB and can’t be bothered to join his crazy fansite. If some can’t take people being negative or taking the p//iss out, as well as being positive about their beloved celeb…well that’s just tough, it’s the nature of the site. There’s nothing to wonder about.

Maybe another reason why the views are so polarised on this site about GB is because overly defensive  fans  who come to this site and constantly go on and on and on about how wonderful he is, and if someone dares to make a objective comment about him  which they don’t like, they then go absolutely ballistic and start abusing the poster, or make blatantly passive aggressive snide remarks about the poster.

And they wonder why a proper civil discourse about GB and his work can’t ensue.

 It is patently obvious GB is a long, long, long way from  the sickly pretty  picture perfect image  that  some here constantly love  to paint of him. Some just comment on it that’s all.

@Whatshedonenow: I have a question for you without handing me my head. Do you like any of the works Gerry has done and I am not talking about his personal life that is none of my business. Have you enjoyed any of his movies any if not why?

@?:

I think the thread just before this one of him getting coffee showed him getting in the drivers seat of the Range Rover.

@Once again…:

That’s the problem with you. People who come here do go to the fan sites but you’re limited on your opinions there. You can’t voice honestly how you feel about some things and some of us don’t always think he craps rainbows.
So we come here to voice both approval, question some behavior or disapproval. But some of you attack if someone disagrees with your overly harsh appraisal of something he’s allegedly done or said or when you blatantly make things up.
We have the right to disagree and so do you, but don’t bash the poster.
Then there are a couple of you who come back with slurs and name calling. That’s uncalled for. People like that need to grow up. It shows that they don’t get along well with others in their real life either and come here to just pick a fight and beat up on others behind a computer screen. It shows the kind of personality they truly are, IMO.

Chirp Chirp…

@Anastasia Beaverhausen:

It seems I’ve found a sensible post in the quagmire.
-
In my opinion the haters and the ‘phannies’ are just two sides of the same coin, both equally obsessed, both claim to have insight into GB’s private life, both claim to know how Hollywood ‘works’ and both sides actually know precisely jack sh*t.
-
@Manny:
-
I think it’s the obsessed that have ruined GB threads, both the posters that defend him 24/7 and the people who hate on him 24/7. Just because people are coming from a negative perspective it doesn’t mean they aren’t equally obsessed and way too invested in everything GB does.
-
I think it’s disingenuous to suggest the problems here are one sided. This place used to be a laugh, you could have a bit of banter, take the p*ss, criticise GB when he needed it, defend him when you wanted to but you can’t do that any more, as you will get attacked from one side or another, but it’s both sides that are the problem.

@Badmoonrising:
.
Healthy discussion has always been a joy here. Sometimes it gets rough but passionate opinions can do that. There has been a trend of polarization here of late that smacks of power rather than discussion and some who need to be right and defend Gerry at all costs have definitely been felt here.
.
What I don’t understand is why, when they have their fansites, do they feel they have the right to moderate others. This GOSSIP site was set up and left open for free discussion and yet they try to control what is not theirs to control. Probably why I like others feel disdain from time to time for them… They definitely don’t live by the creed “live and let live.”
.
I don’t go to their fansites and barrel my way into to say sometimes the man acts like an ass, so why do they try to moderate an open forum where those of us that don’t share their devotion can go to discuss and share OUR opinions?

@Manny: Manny, doing much better thanks for asking. I loved R&R, get the giggles everytime I see him dance in it. I finally saw TBH, did not care at all for it, probably because I am not a big fan JA, like her in friends only. I just don’t think she has it as a good actress. By the looks of her recent films a lot of people feel the same as me.
Gerry on the other end can act when he puts his mind into it. I have not seen the Jury, but i did see some bits and pieces of it. I can’t wait to see of OMAM, I like stories based on real life people. I will have to wait for the dvd on Coriolanus but that is another I want to see.
Even though this is a gossip site the reasons most of us come here is because we have seen Gerry’s movies. If we didn’t know him as an actor from his movies we would never know to come to debate why we like of dislike him. I try and be open minded when i come here and not be too harsh. We can get our point across without being mean spirited but that is just my observations and opinions.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday, Manny, I am off to enjoy the day and bright sunshine we are having here in WNY.

@Badmoonrising:
.
What you have missed over the past year is when they fans tried to control the tempo here it brought out those who don’t like to be moderated. It has been ugly.
.
I for one can’t seem to quit Butler, I don’t know if it is his eyes or his escapades but I don’t fawn over the guy and I don’t approve of some of the sh!t he does. I have been told over and over again that I’m a hater and don’t have a life, must be fat and old, etc. which is far from the truth as it is with many many others.
.
If you don’t spin his drug addiction as a positive, then you’re a hater. If you show concern because he runs head on into drug-filled destinations and you doubt he is staying sober, you’re a hater. If he f*cks a p*rn star and you don’t say he wouldn’t ever do that or she deserved it, you’re a hater. Hell if he stands next to a woman and you don’t take the party line of she is only good for a one-night stand and to used you’re a hater.
.
I used to enjoy the fun banter between posters on a lark or even at Butler’s expense because it was a sense of okay this guy is cute but he is fallible but we’re just funning and enjoying each others company. That’s why I get what niknoks is saying.

@Manny:

I hear what you are saying but healthy discussion isn’t bashing each other. I think discussion can and should be passionate but the rough part troubles me.
I agree with you that there is someone here who is overthetop believes anything you say that might hint of negative, is on you like a duck on a junebug but I only see one person who’s that way and I think we both know who that is.
Everyone else who seems more on a positive attitude doesn’t say much bad about him. It’s the old “if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything” for a few here and there’s nothing wrong with that.
This is a gossip site for discussing what Butler is doing or allegedly doing out in his world. But there are some that sound like broken records always rehashing past bad stuff and trying to get things started up again that have already gone under the bridge and been discussed. Why?
I go to the fansites and if I see something not so perfect about him, I’ll voice it but I know how to do it. It’s called being tactful. I won’t be disrespectful about it or disrespect another posters
.
You are entitled to your opinions, as anyone here is, but some of the ones here who seem to love to hate him don’t feel anyone else is entitled to theirs.

I don’t understand why some feel it should be a crap fest. You seldom say anything nice about him yourself. My question is if this is a place for open discussion, both the neg and positive, why are you and some others ALWAYS negative? How come you don’t give him credit when credit is due?

Why cut someone down personally that doesn’t share you view and that goes both ways. Name calling and bullying is juvenile, period, and isn’t fun for anyone except the ones delivering it.

I don’t think there is anything fun or to be gained by being mean to people.

Let the arrows be your guide as to who is trying to control who here.

ITAWY…

@Manny:

It’s not talking about these things that make anyone a hater. It’s when it’s ALL you talk about that does. Does he do anything right? Sure he does so why is that never a topic of discussion? And when it is, why do some come here and try to throw a wrench in it?

I’m going to give you my take on what you said in the above paragragh. His addictions, drug or otherwise…..No doubt Butler has addictions and an addictive personality. That’s a given but many people do. It is a disease. I agree he should NOT be going in to places that have easy accessibility to substances he’s been addicted to. However, he always seems to be a person who puts himself in to certain things where he has personal conflct. He tests himself and his fears. He may be able to resist temptations most of the time. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he can go to places and obstain up until he ends up back in rehab or gets a dui. Then I’ll question his ability to obstain.

The porn star thing, I’ve got doubts. No one really knows who or even if for sure there is anything to that story. There could even be some of it that is true and the rest is over exageration. It sort of died out anyway. The fact that you have decided whoever it was is a porn star tells me you want to put a negative spin on it. You don’t know that for a fact and neither do I. No name was mentioned by any reliable source.

I don’t really believe Gerry goes out to just pick up women. That’s extremely risky and he’s smart enough to know that. He likes to flilrt and maybe come on to women, get phone numbers, etc. I do believe that. I don’t believe he’s the notorious womanizer that you believe he is. I do believe he sets himself up for that title though.

There are all kinds of “contacts” in HW for celebs to get what they want sexually that is kept on the downlow. He doesn’t have to go to clubs to get anything he needs. He can use the cell phone. I think he just likes the constant distraction and looking at beautiful women.

See, my opinion has been stated. I believe he’s not as bad as you think he is and that’s my opinion. I don’t believe he’s a saint but I try to see both the good and the bad in the guy.

If for some reason all I begin to see is bad, I j ust won’t bother coming here any more. It’s a waste of life to do that. That’s what I don’t understand why some come here just to state the negative all the time. Those, to me, are the true obsessed. They can’t like him but they can’t let him go either. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Dallas-Dalls. Again.

@Manny:

“Maybe I should ask you, why is concern for his questionable decisions seen as a negative by you?”
-
I don’t see legitmate concern as a negative. What I see as negative is bashing and trashing and blowing it out of proportion. That, to me, isn’t showing concern. It’s having fun at the expense of someone else’s weaknesses.

@Badmoonrising:
.
Who is bashing and trashing and blowing things out of proportion? And conversely what about those who refuse to recognize those weaknesses?

““He just lost a project but we don’t have confirmation on others.”

See, this is you putting a negative spin on things, Manny. This is why I lump you with the haters.”
-

I think you have made some really interesting and valid points today but I think you are starting to split hairs a little now.
-
For whatever reason Hunter Killer is not going ahead, GB’s lost it, probably through no fault of his own as movie projects fall through all the time, especially in a bad economy.

@niknoks:

He lost it and so did everyone else involved in it. You know as well as I do that Manny was making inferences that he failed at something.

A movie project getting put back or dropped isn’t the fault of the actors or anyone in particular. That kind of thing happens all the time. If it was all about Butler, they would have just went on with it and replaced him.

It could have been about Butler too because of his scheduling conflicts and rather then replace him, put it on holld to do it later? You could look at it that way too!

I’m not splitting straws. I’m calling it the way I see it and the way I see it is being fair.. You can say he lost it but that’s a general term. You can’t loose anything you never had in the first place, right?

That’s why Gerry holds off signing on until the last minute sometimes. You know old noncommital Gerry! He conducts his professional life just like he does his personal. Why sign on the dotted line when something better might come along?

@Lolita 

Before GB went to HW he was beginning to make some really interesting film and TV dramas- as Manny pointed out the Jury was very good as was Dear Frankie also 300 was a seminal film in regards to special effects and CGI and his fight scene was a true classic.  And Rock n Rolla was also a really strong film, which showcased a lot of great British talent.

The best moves he’s made subsequent to his arrival in HW was HTTYD and Corolanius. 

If you notice in all the films I mentioned  he uses a British accent. He is at his best when he sticks to doing that.

At the moment he is not capable of doing a really good American accent. Despite him saying he really  works at it. Obviously he doesn’t work hard enough, and it shows.

As been said a thousand times before if he focussed less on partying and womanising and concentrated more on his acting skills and finding a mixture of good commercial and independent projects  he would have a career he’d be truly proud of.

Again as I said before all he has do is follow the example of his fellow celts – McGregor, McAvoy and now Fassbender all have chosen well, all have made mistakes with some of their choices,  but all are or remain  extremely highly regarded actors- unlike Butler. 

He is still in position to salvage his professional reputation, and be regarded as a fine actor,  instead of yet another stereotypical stupid, shallow, selfish, sleazy, womanising,  immature celeb who happens to make films to finance his narcissistic lifestyle. 

Gerry didn’t “lose” the movie “Hunter Killer.” For now, it’s being dropped. The same director is directing him in “Olympus Has Fallen.” Did you really think he could film 5 or 6 movies before December of 2012?? This happens all the time with other actors and other movies. It’s all about money and timing for everyone involved. And yet some here have to insinuate that it was Gerry’s fault and that he was the one being dropped.

Actually now his career is on the wane, this is a perfect opportunity for him to do more interesting roles. More good TV dramas and Indie film as well as good supporting roles. The pressure is now off.

@all

I read through the rest of the pages since I commented on Reviews remarks above.Some very good comments by several posters expressing different points of view. Many of them I agree with.

btw, obviously I meant “human nature” in my post above, not “humor nature.” (Although we have that too, I guess!)

Bottom line, everyone who comes here has some kind of interest in this actor or we wouldn’t be here. To me, most posters who appear negative are more disappointed than being HATERS.. A lot of fans started out thinking he was one of the best movie actors to come along in awhile,as well as a really interesting personality, and have been dismayed by various things, his choices of roles, public comments, public behavior, smoking, the way he dresses, etc. etc. Having missed both MGP and Coriolanus, which didn’t show in my state, let alone in my town, I haven’t seen him on the screen for awhile. Without constant sightings at parties, clubs, Starbucks, banks, gas stations, etc. he would probably be out of sight and mind. How many actors have prompted questions like, “Whatever happened to…?” The personal gossip can be titillating but after a few years of not much else,a lot of it becomes same-old same-old. I looked forward to MGP and Coriolanus; after all, one is Shakespeare and one a controversial, important topic with real world repercussions, not just mindless box office fodder.It’s good to read others’ opinions about these films.

I don’t see anything wrong with using this forum for other topics either, even if GB was the catalyst for it. As several people pointed out, this is not a fansite. People have introduced some widely different subjects here and I’ve learned a thing or two. Right now I am especially crunched in RL and not around much but it’s fun to see news and smart discussion, not just fighting and bashing.

@Badmoonrising.

Ok so why isn’t he getting the big commercial or Oscar worthy roles then? I am interested to see your reply to that. And he only makes one or two films a year, with a couple of commercials thrown in. Have you been on a film set? I wouldn’t call sitting around for hours on end extremely taxing. It’s not as if one is working in the Gulag. And most actors with half a brain would agree with that. In regards to Connery, he hardly ever veers away from using his own accent. As for Fiennes totally agree he has a womanising reputation, but he is regarded as an excellent actor– which is most definately not the case for Butler. Those are just hardcore facts. Sorry if you don’t like them

Badmoonrising

Nope. I’m afraid it’s well and truly on the wane. His reputation now officially proceeds him. That’s another fact.

@Whatshedonenow:

I think he’s doing fine commercially and winning awards isn’t everything, however, I do believe there is a lot of politics in HW and Gerry doesn’t always play by the rules of some of the powers that be but it looks like he’s more in demand now.

Plus, he’s a rather late comer to acting. He didn’t really start making films until his thirties, that I’m aware of where as Clooney, Pit and DiCaprio started out as kids. Gerry switched careers.

I think three movies a year is probably the average and any more then that is grueling. You need time to do other things, like promote the movies you’ve done, do other projects and have some down time too. It isn’t all about working yourself in to the ground.

When Gerry works, he works hard but he plays hard too. It’s his nature to be social and active. He’s a restless spirit and you can’t expect someone like him to be something he’s not just because YOU want him to be to fit your ideals. You take him or leave him alone.

@Manny:

Oh stop with this crap, Manny. No one is bashing any “haters” here because as you claim, that’s not what you are, right?

I’m being fair. I don’t see Butler as anything but what he is. I question his choices just like everyone does sometimes but it doesn’t make him evil.

He’s not living up to your expectations of him, so what?

You’re going in to ridiculous mode now with the Kathy Bates/Misery reference and you are just proving my point. You’re barking up the wrong tree with that one anyway and you know it!

Gerry alwayz states that he works hard. Is it fact or opinion?

@Aha….:

It’s opinion of course, how hard you work or how hard you think you work is all relative to what you know, to the job you do and the jobs of the people around you.

Men who call Gerry a womanizer are jealous and would do the same thing if they had his looks and sexiness. Women who call him that do so because they’ll never have him.

It’s just like when jealous women see a women they’ll never be like they call her a sluut. It’s to try to make themselves feel better. Men do the same thing with women they know they have no chance with. They will cut them down.

Stable and secure people in who they are don’t need to do that. There are many very insecure and emotionally unstable people who frequent here, unfortunately. It’s just the nature of the JJ beast.

@Manny:

It was in reference to your definition of “lose” with mine. Technically he and all involved lost the project….for now. We don’t know if he lost it forever or not. For now, it’s been put aside. End of discussion.

Stop baiting me, Manny. I don’t want to argue with you today. If you want to have a civilized, adult conversation and debate, fine. Otherwise, our discussion is over.

Take the advise of JMO on this one. She seems to believe she has it all figured out! However, no one is fighting here except you. Just MY opinion.

@niknoks: Thanks, I liked your opinion in fact :) Another question:”Olympus has Fallen starring Gerard Butler will shoot July 2, 2012 to August 19, 2012 in Bossier City and Shreveport.” A month and 2,5 weeks. I wonder, is it enough for a big action movie?

@Lakshmi:

I don’t think he’d have to work that hard, do you?

@niknoks:

I think a fair assertion is that Butler has been out of the professional eye for a while… but maybe not the tabloid eye??? Just kidding… sort of…

How’s Maggie?

@Aha….:

Thanks for some concrete news on Butler’s career. Since I don’t go to the fansites I appreciate the info. :)

I think the length of time projected to film any movie is just a prediction and an estimate. PTF and OMAM are a case in point. Seems when a film is mostly indoors, a shorter time frame is projected versus one that has a good deal of outdoor filming due to changes in the weather.

I would assume that’s why if you project a film to be two months and go over in to three and you’ve lined up another one back to back of that one, you’re going to have scheduling conflicts. There has to be some wiggle room in your scheduling. That may have been what happened to Hunter Killer.

Personally, I didn’t like the sound of that one anyway. It seems like a rehash of Red October.

@Lakshmi: How dare you! He is not a womanizer, he said it HIMSELF! Lol Manny, I don’t go there either, the info was found in internet. :-)

@Whatshedonenow:
First I want to say thanks for responding. You have known Gerry longer than I have. I first saw him in Attila and i have to say I have never seen a finer looking man, but that is my opinion. I have not seen some of his early work so I can’t comment on his performances. I saw Dear Frankie and I loved it. I don’t understand the fuss about accents which just doesn’t apply to Gerry, I have heard people say that this actor of actress did a terrible accent. If a movie is good and entertaining to me the accent is not on my priority list in the film the story is. Since you have known him longer and seen some of his more memorable performances I can understand how you feel about the path he has taken in choosing some of his roles. I also want to say I do not feel his career is waning because I think he is choosing more parts of substance now.

@Manny: Yep, I remember the “good old days” when there would be hundreds of posts in a short time, but I don’t look back with rose-colored glasses. Many of those posts were ugly. If not about GB, about each other. And I think that’s what cut down on the number of old regulars. There was a time over a year ago when posters were making dramatic exits. Many really did stay away even tho others said “you’ll be back.” But the hate just got too thick. Stupidfans and her ilk were not funny to many of us although some found her hateful remarks humorous. That was the beginning of the end of discussion.

I was just going over some movies to get my lineup for my popcorn and movie Sunday, and was reminded of a couple of other actors who were hotter than he/ll in their day, but their careers just died out. Does anyone remember Brad Johnson in “Always”? I think he does a film now and again on the Sci-Fi channel, and maybe Lifetime. What a hunk he was. He should have been a bigger star.

@was there:
.
Well the good old days I was referring to was about two years ago…long before stupidfans… the days of oy and Giggles… some times I would be laughing so hard I had to get up and walk away because I just couldn’t stop laughing. Peeps were witty and didn’t take anything seriously. The “what woman is his girlfriend” group was what killed it… apparently long before your time…
.
@off topic:
.
ITAWY… I always wondered what happened to him… He was kind of a one-hit-wonder… although I thought he was sexy as hell in Always. Wished I had seen that on the big screen I bet it was a treat.

@off topic:

His film credits just stop at 2008. He lives in Colorado with his wife and has eight kids! Perhaps his interests changed to something else. He used to be a rodeo rider.
Remember Kelly Reno who played Alec in The Black Stallion? He also lives in Colorado now and is an over the road truck driver. He had a bad accident and left acting and never went back.
I think some just find it too much to deal with maybe and opt for the simpler life.
Both of these actors were raised on horse ranches so maybe that’s their passion.

@lolita:

Have you ever seen “Yes Man” with Jim Carrey? You’ll rethink how bad TBH is when you see that and Carrey is a professional comedian!

@manny

Some of the best funny stuff on gossip blogs were created here, it came from gossiphound, cubedweller, CJ, Fritz , Merlin, Oy, Spanky, Mr. Giggles, Stinkylouise, Cynical but not, Trying to figure it out, Nuts,Cora, Melifera, Tonto, as well as you manny.

I hope they are all well, and obviously they have found the cure for Butlerdom.

@goodgravy:

I think he does care what some people think, especially his fans and his Mum. That’s where it matters most anyway. You can’t please everyone.

@lolita:

Well then you’ve seen “Yes Man” because they’re similar really. I loved him in The Mask, The Cable Guy and Dumb and Dumber, which he’s planning on doing a sequel. Mr. Popper’s Penquins was lame too. Even the penquins were animated. It was bad!

Nice talking to you!

@Badmoonrising: I think I had heard that he had a bunch of kids, and he’s also quite religious. Alot of his other films have religious themes to them. I can see not wanting to stick around in HW if you are a person of faith. It would be quite disheartening.

@Manny: you make me miss those days too, even though Mr B was completely unknown to me back then!
A sense of humour is always what’s missing here. When posters who declare themselves in the middle round on someone for using the word ‘lost’ in relation to s project, its all too serious, obsessive and pedantic.

Manny: I must have gotten here right at the end of the really funny days. I remember my reaction the first few times I read some of the hysterical stuff. I darned near spit my drink on the keyboard…it was so unexpected. And, the odd thing is, the funniest stuff was often at GB’s expense, but it was just that “funny.” Not the mean spirited stuff that evolved. Too bad.

Posted on WO in January – interesting take on the Aniston/BH mess.

I’m glad you got to taste some of the hilarious days. One of the funniest threads was when Butler stepped out onto the balcony shirtless in Rio.
.
Somewhere, somehow it all became all too serious. I’m wondering if it was because Butler’s escapades became a little too public. It was when all of a sudden peeps were rushing to Butler’s honor (okay I’m giggling typing Butler’s honor) but then it turned way too serious. I even I stooped low and gave peeps some shots. It isn’t a forgive and forget crowd here any longer. I guess that is why I don’t really care who he is with, not worth the time and effort for me and I could care less about bantering about it…

Niknoks

I think I know a little bit more about the Leveson Inquiry than you. You’ll have to trust me on that one. And facts in the media are merely a spit difference from opinion. Also from your response I definately know you are not that aware of the truths, half truths, downright lies and a mixture of all three, that all merge together within the industry. When it comes to bad boy celebs think the worst and you’ll probably still be no where near how bad they are, or have been. There is never, ever, ever any smoke without an awful lot of fire.

@Whatshedonenow:
.
Now I’m curious… are you in the industry? Just curious because I find this PR wheeling and dealing quite fascinating…

@Whatshedonenow:

So the premise of that last post was…. ‘I know more than you, but I can’t say why…’ What a joke, anyone could write that about anything. It doesn’t mean sh*t and it certainly doesn’t make you look informed. Your general attitude that anyone who doesn’t agree with you is just less informed, especially when you can’t back it up, is laughable.
-
You’re no different to the Brooke/Georgia’s of this place, ‘I know stuff, but I can’t tell you what or how’.

Next time, don’t waste your time responding unless you have an argument more worthy than that of a primary school child.

Gerard Butler just walked past me. p.s #LAtweets

@Badmoonrising: I wasn’t anyone back then . I owned one gb dvd but didn’t have a clue who he was until last year. Does no-one on here get tongue in cheek? Does it always have to be interpreted as negativity or deception?
Like joie I only took a shine to gb a little over a year ago, although I’ve now I’ve seen all his frequently available back catalogue and interview clipd, the magic has started to wear thin with his more recent choices and behaviours.

Manny

Been around the media  for a vert long time. I’ve also been posting here for a while,  so I hope you know by now I wouldn’t b/s you. All I know is that some  news is  factual incorrect, and  some gossip is factual correct. 

I know I’ll get slagged off for making these comments but that’s fine. I’d rather people think I am making it up.  Ironically it suits me just fine. 

Niknoks 

Well, I obviously hit a nerve there.  If you don’t believe me that’s ok. From you response I know you are upset, I can understand your cynicism. But I’ve been posting here longer than you,  but I play my cards very close to my chest. Also you know I have no problem standing my ground on this site – alone if I have to.  

I am aware of how the media works and from your posts, I know you are not.  

@Whatshedonenow:
.
My best friend from college is in the PR world and she says it is quite the spin game. I giggle at some of the examples she shares and what is truth and what has added spin to it. She also talked how the deflection spin is used quite regularly. Good simple example is Kim LardAssian and filing for divorce and when the public pushed back she was off to Haiti. My friend laughed because that spin was so obvious a 5th Grader could figure it out. As she said a Kris Jenner special.
.
It’s all about perception and what scenario you can create in HW.
.
Niknoks has a level head and is quite analytical. I can see her point as well as yours. Many come here saying I’m this or that and eventually they are found to be frauds. The worst thing you can say here is “trust me” IMO. Case in point, GFW uses those words constantly…

@Whatshedonenow:

Here we are again with the things you ‘know’, no nerves were hit, you don’t have that ability sweetheart, I don’t take this place seriously enough for anyone to hit a nerve here, I found your post amusing, kind of why I called it a joke. I find it amusing that you expect anyone to believe you or trust what you say when you aren’t prepared to back it up.
-
Again, the ‘I know more than you do’ and the ‘I’ve been here longer than you’ rebuttal is childish, why say anything at all if you can’t back it up.
-
The ‘I know more but I won’t say what’ line just sounds like a cop out.

You come across like a know it all, and real condescending to other posters, why don’t you lighten up a little. Same with badmoonrising. I like bystander,manny and whatshedonenow. They tell it like it is, while YOU niknoks, you think your sh!t don’t stink and are always correcting people like some kind of moderator. Take a break for awhile PLEASE.

Happy Sunday JJers! Nice photo and bedamned the pants! He probably likes him and has several pair – I do that if I like them and they fit well. I buy 3 or 4 pair in the same color. Who cares about his pants anyway? He’s still a handsome devil even in a ballcap.

Glad to see him out and about. Hoping he starts work soon so we can get some snippets of photos. We need more than Starbucks and dinner sightings; however, they will do just fine for the time being.

Also, glad to read some of the fine posts here and see the varying opinions. Have a lovely week all! Stay sane, happy and healthy.

@I remember too!:

and manny and bystander and others who commented on the golden old days. Bystander, I feel as if you were here from when I was.Only two years?

I go way back too on this thread, maybe 5 years? Manny, we’ve known each other that long, haven’t we? It’s fun to be reminded of all those “old timer” names. and wonder how they are and what they’re doing, whether they are still posting comments somewhere. Even though we know them only by monikers and personalities. Why they left we don’t always know. Some sites have a way of becoming a home away from home. Social networking. A relatively new phenomenon.

My name wasn’t mentioned here (ahem!) (but no worries, my feelings aren’t hurt! :) I was seldom funny anyway. And funny was the topic of discussion. In any case, when you think of names it’s hard not to leave a few out.

Holy moses, watch the Oscar and other award winners struggling not to forget anybody to thank. And they have notes and teleprompters.

It’s damn near impossible to list all the people who have come and gone and had fun here, like yes, Red October, and a slew of people like Stinky Louise and them. I recall asking SL what the name meant, why would anyone call herself that and she said it’s the nick name of a very powerfully scented rose, which I think she was involved in growing or which grew in her area. Who knew?How do we pick a moniker?

My favorite post was the one in which somebody, I wish I knew who–I always suspected Oy because she is such a clever comic she probably is really Kathy Griffith or Conan O’Brien or works for them and comes here for material., But nobody admitted to this stunt, which was a mock casting call list for an ensemble movie with a bunch of us and described our characters, our strengths and foibles, and probable age and appearance with such wit and insight you knew somebody was paying ATTENTION even to our subtext!

If anyone has that list I’d still love to have it because it was funny as heck and I wish I’d saved it.

I know I am doing another long post people will probably hate. But it seems an appropriate time to mention that sometimes “newbies” come to this site and feel there is some kind of “clicque” here. There isn’t. Nobody needs to feel left out. Some of us have just been around the track together for a few years and kind of know what to expect from eah other. Nobody should feel intimidated on a gossip board.

@Grey: I meant to mention that article that was so complicated, but it reminds us that this is a big and rough industry and it IS an industry.

I’ve been researching country music and Nashville is another HW type business. People write naive comments about why certain performers do this and that and they have no clue how much is controlled by executives in suits and money men in meetings and the sales and ratings and the number of plays on the radio. How it can dictate who gets to do what.

@curious cat: CCat, travel safe! Good luck and congratulations to your daughter – med school is quite a coup! You should be very proud! Enjoy yourself!

Thanks, Autumn and JustMe! I am high as a kite but there is always that terrifying scramble trying to get things done and remember to pack everything you will need and not forget anything.

And I have work to finish up here since I will be gone three weeks. Seeing family and friends too.

Back to that link about TBH and the Aniston/Butler business. That was VERY interesting. I still don’t exactly understand what went on. I’m not that savvy about the inner workings of HW but gather she was deal making to bring GB into a commitment for a series of films together and a well-timed romance scheduled to peak and end according to schedule to sell the films. They were first supposed to be making Goree Girls, which is a hell of a story. If you haven’t read it look it up. It probably would have been butchered anyway but it didn’t happen for reasons that were vague and next thing they were talking about Bounty Hunter.

I would want more substantiation than an anonymous post from someone who quotes an anonymous friend on a GB fansite to know what really happened, but you read and listen to these stories and you start forming more informed opinions.

As some of you know, I’ve gotten involved in country music in the past few years, am fond of Brooks & Dunn, and remember all the hullabaloo when they announced the breakup of their band after 20 years in which they won numerous awards and earned among other things a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. People were gossiping all over, speculating on the reasons behind the breakup, personal fights, a gay involvement, some of them ludicrous.

A neighbor of mine, a musician, said you never know, maybe their sales were down (everyone ‘s sales were down in the bad economy) and executives decided if they shocked the music world with a split-up, people would rush to their last concerts, they’d take two or three years off doing other things and then have a big reunion tour. and be marketable again. Who knows? Bands break up all the time.

I just read an article about the band Rascal Flatts, which said the three guys in it hardly ever saw or talked to each other outside of recording and performances. Everything they did was planned and decided by execs of the record label in boardroom meetings. Finally the guys decided they wanted more control, got together and demanded changes.

There is always The Official Story, yes?

I have a huge fact for our professed counselor of addicts, she would never make excuses for any addict like she does Gerry. Another fact I have is that Gerry is an addict. Why does she conveniently forget all the facts about addiction shes made a career with?

Well said! There is a whole community of excuses and enablers here.

@Lisa, at least we can admit we’ve “gossiped” about Butler and have formed some interesting opinions about his escapades without putting on the airs and graces of our resident experts.

I am so sick of his thumb crazy defenders trying to turn JJ into another fan site. His fans are embarassing themselves.

I know most of the posters here are probably nice decent people on the whole if you met them in the checkout line at the grocery store, but gossip sites have tendency to bring out the worst in all of us. Opinions, everyone’s got one. However, I have to agree with Niknoks when she said the haters and the phannies are two sides of the same coin. I think she pretty much nailed it. We’re all here with varying degrees of opinions on the Butler. The middle ground, tries to stay out of the fray for the most part and while they may like some posters and are able to disagrees amicably, others prefer a passionate exchange and get a charge out of setting others straight so to speak. They can’t seem to help themselves when their opinions are being challenged.

Part of the gossip site agenda is to get people to share their opinions. You might say we here at JJ’s Butler threads are highly successful in that regard. We’re all different human beings from age to cultural differences, experiences and education. Badmoonrising, had a couple good points. Why do people have to be mean spirited and nasty to other posters with differing opinions? ……..Because they can! You can call them on it all you wants to, but it may not change their opinions. It won’t change who they are as people and the added anonymity here allows them the freedom to be overly honest. The best thing to do is (as I’ve said many times before) ignore, ignore, ignore……. scroll on by. You aren’t going to change a gossip site into a fan site. If you like hanging out here, you can ignore what you don’t agree with or continue arguing and name calling or you can find another place to hang out. Myself, I just use the scroll button on my computer. It’s just not worth the stress to be always right about my opinions on a anonymous site. JMO ;)

@interesting post

If that info about Aniston/TBH is true I think it could explain Gerry’s seemingly brief public displays of affection, that were out of the norm for him, with violin girl and Laurie Cholewa around the time of TBH promotion. It possibly wasn’t convincing enough that he denied a relationship with JA during interviews etc. He possibly felt he needed some reiinforcement with photographic evidence of dalliances with other women to help shoot down the Aniston/Butler ‘fauxmance’ BS. It must have been a very difficult time for him if true. The only thing that makes me doubt these ‘revelations’ a bit is the obvious hatred and bitterness this ‘Patty’ displays for Jennifer Aniston. It almost seems pathological IMO. If you keep reading that thread there are a couple more posts by the same person in the same vein e.g. scroll down this link where she again re-iterates how JA is reviled and how ‘countless others hate her as much as I do’

http://weiner1proboardscom.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=newnews&action=display&thread=2553&page=6

@leslie 51:
I’m sure that game-playing happens in Hollywood, but I never would have thought that Jennifer Aniston would be that big of a game player. Who decided she was worthy of that much power? Do studios really put hundreds of millions of dollars behind an actress that is really only famous for her ex and his new partner (well, new as of eight(?) years ago), and an old sitcom? As a business person, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, but then again, I’m not in THAT business – thank goodness!
..
I went back and read a bit of that thread, especially that original post by Patty, and I agree that it seems fairly skewed. Patty said her account of the situation was from a sacked employee, and I don’t know many sacked people that don’t harbour some sort of grudge or try to make themselves feel better by slagging off the employer. And then she also has her own very strong bias against Aniston and for Gerard. I mean, I’m not a great fan of the woman – I don’t particularly like her work, but I don’t know her so I can’t say if I like or dislike her with any accuracy. It always surprises me when people say they can’t stand (or ‘hate’, which gets used a lot online) a person they’ve never even met, but that might just be me. Anyway, maybe a fraction of that story is true, but good luck trying to pick which bits!
..
And, is it just me (I’ve only been following Gerard for a little bit – been back and looked at some past stories), or is the whole “pashing randoms” thing Gerard’s go-to move when things go a bit pear-shaped?… Gay rumours circulating? Pash a woman in public. Co-star trying to manipulate you into a faux-mance? Pash a (different) woman in public. Just get out of rehab? Grind up against some random woman in public (there may or may not have been some pashing in there – who knows!). It’s his answer for everything! :P
..
Side point: If Gerard was trying to detract from the Aniston rumours, why did he slip up with that finger-in-the-butt-crack photo? I saw that and cringed. And then I laughed. And then I cringed again! Was the general consensus that that was a stunt too? Or optical illusion? Or something else? Just wondering…..

First part? I doubt it. Bullying is your cowardly drug, especially if you can do it anonymously.

~K

Jesus Christ, people, the Jennifer Aniston conspiracy theory about Gerry and MGP is 100% phannie fabricated. Their “insider” is a phannie more delusional than GFW and Georgia combined.

IMO that ‘finger in the butt’ pic was photoshopped – top part of finger blacked out to make it look bent towards JA’s b/umcrack. Even if not, how on earth could a finger penetrate through tightly stretched, thick denim? Plus JA did not react at all and I would think that would be nigh on impossible if a woman was prodded there unexpectedly.

Sticking with the fauxmance ‘conspiracy’ theory LOL, what if someone was really determined at that stage to keep that fauxmance story alive. What if, after Gerry rebelled with his PDAs with other women, one of the ‘conspirators’ paid some pap to take a photo from behind and manipulate and ‘shop’ it to compromise them and make it look like there was such sexual familiarity between Gerry and JA that people could not now doubt a relationship existing between the two of them, just for the purposes of the rest of TBH promos and whatever, to keep the intrigue going. Maybe that was what really got some people into theatres as IMO the movie was a complete dud otherwise. I don’t recollect that Jen was ever asked about this public ‘humiliation’ and she must have seen the pic or heard about about it IMO. Gerry was questioned in a radio interview and he said something like, however it looked, his hand would NOT have been touching her butt.

@AustinCityLimits:
If she’s really done all those things, then she’s pretty silly because it will all come back and bite her on the ar$e later on. People will stop working with her – which seems to be happening now if what was previously said is true (that there is no projects in the forseeable future for her). I don’t think she can make an income on the shiny-ness of her hair or her diet tips for long. She’s making herself redundant, so I guess karma wins again!
..
I don’t think Aniston ever had the power to “ruin” Gerard. He’s just done Coriolanus with Ralph Fiennes, who is IMHO one of the finest actors of our time. Aniston’s abilities can’t hold a candle to that, and if Ralph is willing to work with Gerard, then other people will also. Actually, I think Coriolanus might be the reason that Gerard suddenly has all these leading man roles in the action genre. I think that people are noticing him, like they did after 300. Let’s hope it doesn’t fade like it did back then.
..
@leslie 51:
LOL – you might be right with the photo-shop thing. I know that the Scot’s have a baudy sense of humour, but I found it hard to believe that he would behave like that in public. I agree that it was suspect that there was actually a pap behind them – highly suspect, indeed! But no matter – he isn’t with Aniston, and I highly doubt he will ever act with her again, so she is no longer relevant. Yippee! :P

It isn’t about ruining anyone, it’s about power and control and making money. But this latest smear campaign is different for the ‘married’ woman or something… which, I’m positive he regrets right about… before it happened!
-
Seriously, do you think more people would have been up to see The Bounty Hunter had they thought the two were an item? Possibly. Most likely, probably. Like with Brad and Angie? You know to check out what sparkle in their eyes.
-
But Gerry, cares about the real women in his life, and would not subject them to such nonsense.
~K
who got a tad “emotional” in that one response but hey, I’m worth defending! :o)

I don’t think it was photo-shopped. I think it was deliberate, however naughty and juvenile but they were loopy from the attention and he was pissed at her… and that he didn’t think it’d be caught. It could have been a subconscious reaction (nonverbal) to her request, saying “f you, no… you want some publicity… here take this.” Or not. LOL
~K, opinionated and passionate and open-minded not judgmental

@for the gullible:
I’m not delusional functioning with complete clarity, thank you!

It’s his followers he knocked himself off the pedestal unable to live up to their personal expectations they have in place for him that are. Have a nice day.
~K

I guess we cannot really know the truth of the relationship between Gerry and JA. In interviews we saw IMO they really seemed to relate very well to each other and even to be seen to be having fun with each other. Gerry has never said one negative thing about her that I have heard. In fact I recall reading that on Jen’s birthday, one year after her birthday at Cabo which he had attended, that Gerry was having a night out with friends and he suddenly remembered it was Jen’s birthday that day and that he needed to call her. He also said in the Stern interview that, even though he wasn’t ‘in love’ with Jen, he did love her. That somehow doesn’t sound to me like there is animosity between them at all. I don’t believe that JA has the power to ‘ruin’ anyone and I could quite easily believe that she and Gerry may have remained casual friends regardless of the BS that surrounded them. I thought it was interesting also that Ellen Degeneres is a very close friend of JA and she was really nice to Gerry this time when he appeared on her show. She acted a lot differently to the first time he appeared a few years before and he seemed to rub her the wrong way when he tried to ‘snog’ her LOL.

Re the ‘conspiracy’ post at WO, anyone can search on the internet and find a detailed history of JA’s relationships, both personal and professional, and anything else about her they need to know and put their own spin on it. They can also know the very latest in what is happening behind the scenes with companies like Miramax etc and anything, financial or otherwise, about movie production in general simply by daily checking sites like Deadline Hollywood.com. Just sayin’.

Thanks niknoks! And others that responded to me yesterday. I’ve just noticed since I have been coming on here a while now, that there are some that seem to return regularly simply to bait, bash and fight for the most part. If it were me, and that’s all I felt the need to do when coming onto this site, I would just stop coming to JJ. But that’s me. I’m definitely in the middle in regards to Gerard B. It’s not really a concern for me if others believe that. I do fully admit however, to becoming a fan girl in regards to Dave Grohl at times. lol I read something recently that Courtney Love was trying to put out through the media and oohhhhh I got p/issed. haha Anyhow, it was a sleepless night Saturday and when I came on, I became exasperated by what was being posted and that’s why I stated what I did.

@GFW: I believe that Freud and Jung started having problems with their friendship when Jung wanted to expand his theories farther than Freud was willing to go. Freud also had a problem with mysticism and wasn’t interested in opening his mind to other possibilities regarding the human mind and energy, etc. Freud also wanted to be the seen as the superior of the two. That would cause problems in any relationship. Jung wasn’t perfect, but I related to him more, because if you are going to study the human mind, you need to be open to many many possibilities. I don’t think that Sabina had anything to do with the ending of the friendship. If anything, she wanted them (Freud and Jung) to continue working together. That Freud….it was always about s/ex with that guy. Wait……. ;-)

@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:
.
I feel so sorry for you… I hope you find something for you that is tangible not an illusion.

Keep trying Manny! That does not work. Why? You don’t know me. Have a nice day.
~K

@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:

I completely agree. Jung was about finding a solution, not only a diagnosis like Freud. It really was a good film. ;-)

@Anastasia Beaverhausen:
Hi! Yes, glad you agree.
-
It was a fascinating script. And worth re-watching beyond watching Michael. Just wished Sabina had been played by someone else or that she hadn’t over-acted in the beginning or we saw why… because the “humiliation” theme didn’t seem enough to make her that bonkers! I loved how his wife encouraged him with his “their are no accidents” with the new patient and inner voice to follow. Yet little did she know what all would happen. Yet he remained with her, was a good father and husband, she was his “house” and the others “the perfume”.
~K

@Mondaymonday:
Oh, no, no, no. We’ll never see it [proof] (by Jen), are you kidding? No, word is she and her PR team were really upset when Gerry would not play along with the romance for butts in seats or to feed her frail ego. Plus, he has real women in his life he would not subject to that. Get a clue!
~K

@Manny: You bring up an interesting issue which has crossed my mind whenever another report of his hookups comes out. How do you think he’s managed to avoid one of his randoms claiming a pregnancy, just for the sake of media attention or extortion? Birth control is never 100%…unless he’s fixed.

@question:
Not that you’re speaking to me, but where’s this claim/article in print? Think we’re all interested in that one. I suspect there are as many ‘claims’ to things with him as their are disgruntled ex’s!
~K

@question:

Gerry’s the poster boy for condom use. In fact, he should do a PSA about it. Other then that, I don’t think you can get pregnant through oral.
-
BC pill is 99%. I asked my gyno what about the 1%. He said that’s open for human error!
-
I’ll bet Amy meets the woman at the door, clipboard in hand, waiver attached, terms and conditions to be read and sign on the dotted line before engaging with G in any sexual act. If not, she’ll call you a cab.

Manny, is that you speaking to yourself again? Sad. Really, you need to lower yourself to that?
~K (rolling eyes)

Geez, you guys. I don’t even want to go there in terms of the details. What I meant is, usually with a “star” type, if they are hitting alot of randoms, you will usually see one pop out that tries to get publicity by claiming a pregnancy, and that hasn’t happened with him. I would think as an actor who is “active”, it would always be a risky proposition.

@Mondaymonday:
.
Well who knows… Maybe Gerry was the celebrity claiming horrendous sex with a costar at Coachella…. I’m kidding… I think…
.
@Mondaymonday:
.
The pill does not prevent STDs so if Gerry is active and not protecting himself and his future partners he should be hung up by the balls. Any man stupid enough to believe a one night stand, being a celebrity, when the woman says I’m on the pill is a first rate fuktard IMO and deserves what he gets.

Okay. I’ll answer (and apologize) No. No he hasn’t avoided any random giving birth. There, happy, satisfied? And, trust me on this okay?
~K
who thinks Manny needs to stop talking to herself for company who really gets off talking about his sex life for some reason, uck

@question:

Yes, I see your point and I would say that a woman that would pop up and claim G was the baby daddy would have to A produce a pregnancy or B a baby then C the DNA proof. It’s not as easy as you think.

I think if Gerry sticks to pros he’ll be fine. So far, he’s either really lucky or he’s not getting as much as everyone believes.

@Mondaymonday: I remember when it happened to Justin Bieber (of all people). Don’t know if that gal was after money or what, but she managed to get alot of media attention for awhile. Sometimes, that’s all they want.

@question:
.
True. What was shocking is that she would admit to sex with Bieber…. Ewwwww….

@Manny:
The only one “green eyed” is you, and you know it. ;o) Have a nice day socking! You know, you remind me of my sister who’s best date is herself.
~K

The Biebs looks like a 30 year old lesbian to me.

-

@Manny:

You responded to me a couple of times and I have no idea what you are responding to. I agree about the pill thing but I was responding to someone talking about pregnancy, not STDs.

Then this:
“Not if the partner is experienced and careful IMO. Someone who does it often it would seem to me would have the habit and defer from the habit.”

Sorry, but I don’t know what you are referring to.

@Manny: I would be very surprised to find he had a pe/en, quite frankly…

@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:

You’re dissing your own blood? What a terrible thing to say about your own sister. Even if she’s the worst person on the planet, you never disrespect family. You don’t get along with anyone, do you?

@Mondaymonday:
.
Every time I read your name is hear this… http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4xqkUu9xIi8

Gerry knew Jeannia well before TBH. Remember all the Fashion Week photos of them together? She had that hideous hat in a bag and people kidded it might be a dog. Then a few weeks later TMZ had Gerry, Jeannia and two other women going into a hotel through a revolving door. They kidded that they were about to be Butlerized. That was way before TBH.

Jealous of what? Quit with that, it’s makes no sense whatsoever! Jealous of your dull “marriage” (read: life) that has you locked in bored to death so you spend all your time at a Butler gossip site?? Ah, really? No.
-
You’re jealous of my independence, freedom, lifestyle, availability (winks) to the man you are obsessed with, oh, and you’re obsessed with me too. Have a nice day. You should give it a rest and go get some, but you’re too narcissistic to do that, huh?
~K
who says my sister thinks anything on-line is fake and not real who is prejudice and judgmental and, yes, we do not get along… you know, like a lot of American families, who adores her brother though!

@Manny:

No problem. Thought I was going to have to tell you to cut back on the Dayquil!

@Hollywood Gossiper:

I agree, they do get it right occasionally but more often than not they get it wrong & a lot of the time blatantly make sh*t up. People tend to remember the stuff they get right because it becomes actual news, nobody remembers the stuff they get wrong because it’s ‘tomorrow’s chip paper’.
-
One thing that I have noticed and one thing you touched on, is that the majority of tabloids seem to have alliances with certain PR firms so they will promote their clients and smear their rivals. It makes them all completely unreliable in my opinion. Point in hand CAN Management over here with the (former) News of the World Dan Wooten (their ‘showbiz’ columnist) would actively promote their clients while smearing ex-clients and rivals.
-
It’s why I take it all with a pinch of salt and often get accused of being in denial or naive for doing so.

Even with mainstream news sources these days, “facts” seem elusive.

@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:

I know…. that was my exact thought. I kept waiting for her (KK) to tell some sort of horrific story and then it was like “Um, really? That’s it? Welllll okay then.”. lol I have seen “Jane Eyre” with Michael and Mia. It was the first movie I had ever watched where Fassy was one of the main characters. And it’s the one that made me sit up and say “Who is this guy? He’s really good.”.

I like all of this PR talk. I don’t know much about all of that and it’s interesting to get different takes on the subject.

@niknoks: I would like to hear more about what you do for a living and your take on addiction. I admit that I only have my experiences with myself and certain people I know, to form my opinion. I am most definitely not very well educated on the subject. But I am fascinated by it. Like I am most things regarding the human psyche. I can’t wait to start my psychology class. ;-)

I will say that I love a lot of the discussions on here. Most of which don’t include the G-man. Not that I don’t like the topics on him as well. But how much can be discussed about one person you know?

@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:

I don’t really have a type aesthetically, but ya, Michael doesn’t do it for me in the looks department. But some celebs that I like, don’t. There has to be something else, presence like you say, that makes me think them swoon worthy. I’m like that in RL too. I’ve stated before that if there is a really good looking person that opens their mouth and has nothing else to offer, their looks fade immediately.

I don’t really think it’s fair to compare Gerard B. and Michael F. Every actor has their strong points and weak points. And I see one completely different than the other. That’s not a bad thing and that doesn’t mean that one is better than the other.

Need to say facts sell. They do. I was just referring to the current topic in how alluring near facts draw people in.
-
And was saying Gerry would have made a great Rochester is all.

@Anastasia Beaverhausen: It’s hard to fathom someone who has not heard of Rebecca, one of the great classic novels and films of the 20th Century. Laurnece Olivier, George Sanders and Joan Fontaine starred in the film. It’s been on television when classics are featured, and I have the DVD. I feel sorry for you. Not to know Mrs. Danvers, Maxim DeWinter .. Manderly, on and on. Just wow. Do you live in a third world nation?

@wow: That kind of floored me too. I have loved Rebecca since I was in junior high school. What a story and what characters. Joan was nominated for an Oscar.

@Anastasia Beaverhausen: You have such a busy life you don’t know classic, Academy Award winning films,and great books, but you can spend your busy life posting on a Gerry Butler site. Now, what’s wrong with this picture?

@lol:

Yikes okay, I’m a little shocked that I’m getting beaten down because I don’t remember an old movie that is nowhere near my age range? Yes, it takes me literally 5 minutes to skim posts and post myself. Not sure where this is coming from, but not interested in talking to people that can’t simply hold an intelligent conversation without being ridiculous and wanting to fight. I will make sure I watch the movie okay?

@sage:

Yes, but I am much more into literature than movies. I’ve only become enthralled in film in the last couple of years. I’m really not going to go back and forth here. I’m too good for that. Have a wonderful night. ;)

@bystander:

Thank u! I’m sorry that I brought up the age situation, but I was in shock that I was being attacked for not being aware of a movie. That’s so strange to me! See, I’ve only read Wuthering Heights. It irritated me. Which film version do you suggest I watch? That’s why I love this site. For the ones that don’t only want to bicker, but converse, like normal human beings.

My honest opinion is that Gerard B. most likely worked diligently on MGP, but if he wants the recognition that he and others think he deserves, then he needs to do another dramatic role. An even tougher one. He can do it.

Hope to see him soon!
~K

@niknoks:
“It’s why I take it all with a pinch of salt and often get accused of being in denial or naive for doing so.”
.
Don’t worry about it, we all do. If you are fare and want to get to the bottom of something, you are accused of being inn denial. Look on the bright side, at least they haven’t accused you of being a phannie yet. Just kidding of course.

@Anastasia Beaverhausen: agree with you about a dramatic (non action) role. Perhaps a ‘classic’.
My favourite Jane Eyre was the early 80s BBC series starring Timothy Dalton. Of course there has been , and can only ever be, one version if Gone with the wind. Shame, as Rhett Butler would have suited gb to a tea-just in the right side of dangerous/sleazy, with a soft heart.
As far as Wuthering Heights view, I don’t think you can ever beat the ckassic original version with Olivier, but I’m no expert. Dalton and Fiennes have done versions too. As you can tell I’m biased toward classic British actors! At times it used to look like Gerry could have been one.

@Reviews: Yup, would help get over those embarrassing predictive text mispellings that edge off a small phone screen!

@ugh:

And what would make it interesting for you my dear? I’m guessing……constant bickering or made up rumors.

Thanks Bystander. I’m partial to Ralph Fiennes, so I will look it up and give it a watch.

I’m off now…..have a great evening everyone! ;)

I just read the WO “article” (really a post by a ‘guest’) and well, Jen had out Wanderlust (which flopped in a big way) this year so she wasn’t exactly “unemployed”. Besides she’s so much money she’ll never live long enough to spend it. But she’s box-office bomb, not queen.
-
This ‘guest’ makes some valid, and very interesting, points. I believe she (Jen) wanted Gerry “delivered” and negotiated well getting him delivered for The Bounty Hunter, but she wanted more. And I think she wanted him, and I mean really wanted him. But Gerry was just there to act, make the money, promote the movie, and press on. Think whatever he made with this allowed him to work on Machine Gun Preacher and Coriolanus in the way wise actors do balancing fluff with labors of love.
-
The problem with The Bounty Hunter wasn’t Jen or Gerry (at all) as they clicked, it was the director. It had a lot (the script and story) going for it. I recall promoting it well back then kind of seeing the “message” in the film as I believe Gerry, not only takes a deal, but does have something he wishes to ‘say’ for lack of a better word.
-
Milo was a slob and who really wants to see Gerry as one? Some of it was hard on the eyes, but this isn’t Gerry’s fault!
-
Fact is, you can’t have a character (Milo) climb into bed with sneakers and think no one will notice. It’s just not possible. Details matter.
~K

@Anastasia Beaverhausen:
@GerrysMesmerizingWoman:
LOL! I think it’s all about sex. I think it’s an underlying reason for why so many people are fuucked up emotionally and mentally. It’s also what drives us. It’s all in pursuit of sex. The subconscious plays a BIG part in our actions and feelings on the surface.
.
Men want to get as many females as possible, so they’ll do anything to get ahead in their profession, increase their power, and move up in society. A man knows females are very attracted to such men. He knows as a we.althy powerful man, he can get a much younger woman if he wants to, or many younger women. GB is a perfect example. Your average ordinate guy plays by the same needs, but he has a little bit less autonomy and freedom to do as much as GB does, so he does whatever he can within his setting and circumstances. Women have the same motives. To attract alpha males, the kind that evolution makes women most attracted to, women will dress and act in a way which they know males are attracted to. They’ll accept certain jobs or act a certain way to attract males. Women are also known for chasing men they want, and for trying to take out the competition from other females. Women are very competitive with each other when it comes to mating. Anyway, in the end, it all boils down to sex. Sex is a major drive for motives for both males and females. And all this is happening behind the scenes on the subconscious level.

@Reviews:
I still stick to my first opinion that Gerry wasn’t going be bought for something fake (even trying to like her if he felt no urges for her… and he did not) when he might have a potential something real out there somewhere. Hard to explain. But I will admit my sister bought it. I’m proud he didn’t allow it to happen, and feel he’ll snap back with Of Men and Mavericks and Playing The Field, because both are running on different operating systems. Different everything!
-
Not too certain I agree with his substance abuse issues, lack of judgment, being connected though as you have it stated. Actually, I’m very certain I don’t. Some connection could be there but not how (I) read you. Think that near death experience and some personal disappointments propelled it more than anything else. That he wasn’t of his right mind kind of thing due to blows to the head, and heart.
-
Think, whether either made money or not, Machine Gun Preacher and Coriolanus, were the right movies to make. They established him as a talent, not just a hot dude. He worked with the best. And Machine Gun Preacher had a powerful impact whether people like to acknowledge that or not. It did.
~K

@GerrysDaisyDuckChick: wow gfw, I agree!

@GerrysDaisyDuckChick:
“I still stick to my first opinion that Gerry wasn’t going be bought for something fake.”
.
I agree because I do think she wanted them to pretend they were an item and he just didn’t want to play ball. Gerry likes his freedom, and he will not be dictated to by anyone or told to pretend when his heart is not in it. What I meant by my post about the issue is that I am not sure I believe the “Patty” person account of what transpired between him and Jan. That’s all.
.
Regarding the substance issue, I think he really had a very tough time after he finished filming MGP. Some pressure must have pushed him to start smoking again and abuse drugs, whatever the variety. Maybe because TBH tanked, it sent things in a downward motion. After all, he never had a flop before even if some of his movies didn’t do that well. I think the only reason he got involved with TBH is the money. She must have offered him a lot, otherwise, didn’t he know her track record? All her movies are stupid. Was it a lapse in judgment on his part, kind of the same lapse he had with Brandi? Who knows, and I don’t want to be too judgmental because I am not in his shoes feeling and thinking his life.
.
Yes, I agree. Both MGP and Coriolanus weren’t a waste of time at all, and I didn’t infer they were, just that he probably lost money on MGP and that must have contributed to his recent personal troubles. But both of these projects made many people take notice of him even more. Look at how many projects he is being offered?

@bystander:

Thanks doll! And you are very much right. Anyone can start looking downright ugly when they are indeed ugly on the inside.

Well I’ve decided that this isn’t really the place for me. After getting bashed for not knowing a movie (out of jealousy or whatever), that was too ridiculous for me. I also think i’m just not enough of a super fan for it all. So goodbye to all the greats here. I don’t want to list anyone specifically as to not to insult others that I may forget. Mwah, be as happy and positive as you can, love your family and friends, be nice to anyone that you can and don’t forget the belly laughs! :-D

Take care, Ana. Always enjoyed your posts – sad to see you go, but completely understand why.

@Anastasia Beaverhausen:

Beaver…this really isn’t the place for any of us. I know that. But don’t announce giving up on it..some of us do that and come back. Ffor God’s sake, getting bashed for not knowing a movie? I Iwasn’t familiar with the movie either. And I’ve been bashed for other things. It’s stupid. some of us try to make it cordial here but it never seems to work.I’d like to give you a safe place to comment but it’s not in front of me this minute. So please come back tomorrow or the next day. There are kinder sites around.

Why are you going to let some font on a cyber page dictate what you do? A real question. If I did that back in 2005 things would not be as they are now. I like how things are now. I’m on the map, and proud of it. ;o)

@GerrysDaisyDuckChick: I wholly disagree that Butler and Aniston had chemistry on screen in the Booty Hunter. .They had more chemistry off screen. IMO he had more on screen chemistry with Heigl and even Swank and perhaps Michelle Monahan. The best chemistry on screen was with Lena Headley and Emily Mortimer. Oh and the chick who played Lucy Sullivan. So glad to see Emily joining the US cable TV series and looking fabulous too. Her career just keeps chugging along.
