Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston?


Lainey Gossip reports that Jennifer Aniston, 39, was seen getting pretty cosy with rough and tumble heartthrob Gerard Butler, 38, at the Toronto Film Festival over the weekend. This was one night after Aniston was seen having a mixed business/pleasure meeting with model Matt Felker, which whom she’s been linked in the past. Aniston is hot and single and she’s working it.

Guess who happened to be in Toronto while Jennifer Aniston was in Toronto?

None other than Matt Felker, with whom she was linked immediately after breaking up with John Mayer. Remember Matt Felker? Click here for a refresher.

My sources tell me exclusively they met up the other night over dinner but the nature of the discussion was more business and strategy than romance and relationships. Then again, when it comes to Jen, it’s all connected.

Matt is working on a film… Jen could probably help with that. And like Paul Sculfor, Matt has certain services too. Unfortunately for Matt, his potential dried up the next night. Blame Gerry Butler.

As mentioned yesterday, Gerard Butler loved the TIFF scene so much, he returned to Toronto after leaving on Friday just to extend his experience, showing up randomly to several carpets, and at the Hyatt Roof Lounge on Sunday night.

Jen and her entourage also hit up the Hyatt after her screening on Sunday too. Didn’t take long for the two of them to gravitate towards each other, ending up with their heads bent together in a flirty, intimate conversation, at one point I’m told his hand was placed on that sexy part of the thigh. He was also spotted rubbing her shoulder and back, leaning in close to her ear, and she of course was returning his attraction with that patented hairplay she’s perfected over the years.

[From Lainey Gossip via Gossip Rocks]

Lainey is definitely not an Aniston fan, but she does get good insider gossip and scoops and this could possibly be true. In April, Butler previously hit out against rumors that he was dating actress Cameron Diaz by using a super rude analogy to say he’s not sleeping with every women he’s spotted with:

“If I take a dog for a walk, apparently I’m f’king my dog!”

Well, he was stroking Aniston’s leg. I guess if he pets his dog he’s not getting up to anything more with it, either.

The Mirror has picked up this story, which likely originated with Lainey, and simply said, “Our spies tell us the serial dater has been seen out and about with Gerald Butler.”

Meanwhile Aniston says all is well in good in her world, and told People “Things couldn’t be better.” Maybe she was getting some action from Butler at that point. That could improve your outlook.

Jennifer Aniston is shown at the premiere of Management at the Toronto Film Festival on 9/7/08. She is pictured with her co-star Steve Zahn. Gerard Butler is shown at the Rocknrolla premiere on 9/1/08. Credit: WENN.

    She’s lucky…. ALL of the men she dates are H.O.T. – with the exception of John Mayer. 😉

    “Serial dater” huh? I always find this stuff to be amusing – she’s single and she dates (oh..and she’s female). So as a female, dating has a negative connotation, but if she were male like say… oh Gerard Butler or George Clooney, then the moniker changes to heartthrob, lady killer, w/e…. It’s just dumb. Using this philosophy, I was a “serial dater” from the time I was a teenager to my early 20’s. 😆

  2. stacey says:

    “Patented Hairplay she’s perfected”?? What the….. Is that some sort of boring foreplay for the minivan driving soccer moms that make up her fanbase? Shes ridiculous.

  3. RAN says:

    Um…most mini van soccer mom’s lead very busy lives… unlike people who have nothing more to do than criticize someone’s ‘hairplay’. THAT’S ridiculous

  4. crab says:

    Really Stacey, why is she ridiculous? She’s single, beautiful and she’s dating!! I think that’s called normal!!

  5. Mairead says:

    No matter how many men she’s linked with, she – unlike Butler and Cooney – just doesn’t seem to be slutty.

    BUT. At this rate the woman must know at this stage in her life that “black jersey + many many flashbulbs = the world is your gynaecologist.” Either wear decent foundation garments (like a slip) or something, or pick a different colour or fabric 😐

    I am glad that he was “touching her on the sexy part of the thigh”. I mean, it’s touch and go because 2 milimetres to the left is the unsexy part of the thigh! 🙄

  6. geronimo says:

    Where IS the sexy part of the thigh exactly?

  7. Sara says:

    I hate Jennifer Aniston but I hope this is true. I want her to get a man so she and her mentally ill fans can leave John Mayer and Brad Pitt alone. All she does is spread lies about them. I want the hag put off on some one else.

  8. Nina says:

    Sara, I agree with you 1000%!! If they didn’t want her then they didn’t want her, it’s as simple as that.

  9. Baholicious says:

    Butler strikes me as total wolf. Not that I’m complaining…

  10. Syko says:

    Right on, Sara!

    @geronimo – maybe it’s the part with no cellulite?

  11. pamela says:

    Sara, we would all hope so, but that is wishful thinking on our part. Her fans would only start comparing the exes to the new man, with the exes not quite measuring up. You know the drill by now. LOL.

  12. Diva says:

    What the HELL happened to Steve Zahn???

  13. bros says:

    stacey, that was hilarious.

  14. geronimo says:

    Yeah, wish she’d just take up with someone nice and disappear. She’s just so…wearying and dull, somehow. Honestly, I see a post about her and I start sighing before I even read it.

    Ta for clarification, syko. 😛

  15. Mairead says:

    geronimo – it’s 2 millimetres to the right of wherever Gerard Butler says it isn’t 😉

  16. Mr. T says:

    300 meets Friends. Should be a bloody good time.

  17. Allabouteve says:

    @ Geronimo- Your Ta reminds me of Coronation Street folks, I wish BBC America showed that soap and Eastenders and Emmerdale farm, I miss the shows.

    Run Gerald run. It would end badly like all her relationships, she has never been able to end a relationship gracefully, there always have to be drama. After John Mayer she does not need to date another man who has publicly professed his attraction to Angelina unless she is a masochist.

  18. Starla says:

    I’m single & have guy friends who hug me in public . Am I a “seriel dater”?! what a load of crap. Jen’s a big girl & not a slut. Leave her alone.Uh oh, I feel a beatdown coming on!!

  19. DemLaw says:

    I’m a Jen fan, but definitely not psycho… one could argue that Brangelina fans are just as crazy. We should all be careful about generalizations and not get so worked up about people we don’t even know.

  20. Syko says:

    Geronimo, I have the same reaction to her. Every new man, the first thing that goes through my mind is “oh god, not again.” There’s something so mechanical about the whole thing. I don’t dislike her, but I also don’t find her interesting, especially attractive, or talented. I do wish she’d hook one of these guys and settle into happy ever after.

  21. Codzilla says:

    I was always neutral about Jennifer, but now that she has her rat claws in Gerard, all bets are off. 👿

  22. Syko says:

    😆 at Codzilla

  23. Kaiser says:

    Seriously, it’s all fun and games when she’s dating douchebags and man-whores, but when she turns to a guy that I am actually attracted to?

    I feel sick. Run, Gerry, run. (into my arms)

    On the up side, maybe he’ll give another quote about f-cking “dogs.”

  24. Kaiser says:

    Hmpf. Still being moderated. 😥

    Okay, I’ll try a different tact – what *is* up with Steve Zahn? He looks mid-dry heave in that pic.

  25. Jen (the other one) says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! He’s my boyfriend!!

  26. ms. piggy says:

    i’m nit sure there are slips that would work with that type pf dress but i still give kudos to atleast trying to cover up her goodies. unlike other people who would just free balled everything

  27. ri23 says:

    More Gerard Butler! So hot. More! More!

  28. jeannified says:

    Doesn’t Steve Zahn look like a mini-Brad Pitt, the way he’s dressed, the way his hand is extended, the tosseled hair and look on his face? (Not that he LOOKS like Brad Pitt, but you know what I mean!)

  29. lady garden says:

    Jesus-whenever i look at him (which is alot) i get a hot flush-hot hunk of a man so he is

  30. OH duh says:

    Can this woman settle for a permanent guy already ..she’s like an older version of Paris Hilton.

  31. KERRI says:

    @Sara and Pamela: Agree 2,000%. Right on the money!

    As for Gerard, he likes his ladies and he has a long way to go before his appetite has been sated. IF the time comes when he does find “The One”, I’m sure she will be a very young lass. (Scottish, I know).

    Cheers mates.

  32. Granger says:

    Once again, I just have to laugh at the type of publicity Jennifer Aniston garners. She’s in Toronto to promote her new movie, Management, but I have not read ONE WORD about it or her performance in it. Instead, I hear nothing but tidbits about her — you guessed it! — LOVE LIFE. Wow! Jen had drinks with Brad! Oh, no, maybe it was dinner! And didn’t she meet up with some other ex, a former model? Oh! Cool! There she is with Gerard Butler!

    Puh-lease. Why this woman is even on the map anymore is beyond me.

  33. vdantev says:

    Think he yells, ‘This is SPARTA!!’ in bed?

  34. Leni says:

    Just let it go people.Perhaps she is not dating anyone!

  35. Emily says:

    I really like Jen. Any one notice that Brangeloonies are the one who act like the world revolves around Jen. She doesn’t have to be your enemy people. Move on and idolise your idols. Just try and let Jen be and you will feel much better. Your obsession is getting unhealthy. Look at this thread, you have more posts than any one.

    Butler is a dish too. Jen is lucky to have all these men falling for her. She is a single gorgeous woman. It is her right to date. Nothing mechanical about it.

  36. RAN says:

    Wow Emily… You’re a brave one! I tend to ignore most of the hypocrisy because to point it out only makes it worse, but kudos to you for recognizing it. 😉

  37. vdantev says:

    anyone ever notice that… blah blah blah blah blah blah…….

    Nothing like people with undeserved sense of accomplishment.

  38. RAN says:

    Dante, if you were directing that at me you can rest assured that I do not have an “undeserved sense of accomplishment”. I completely deserve ALL of my accomplishments, thank you. 8)

  39. Maritza says:

    He is smart, sexy and very handsome and she is as well. I hope this relationship works out. Oh Lord please let her find her true love and settle down, amen.

  40. B says:

    Brangeloonie’s theory is like: as long as I put down Aniston, My Jolie will be better. How does it work? They are two different people. If Jennifer Aniston is a witch, it doesn’t mean Jolie can NOT be one, ie, they can both be witches at the same time.

  41. Debra77 says:

    I wonder how long the connection between Brad and Jen will last. Maybe by the time Madd is married. I agree about not hearing anything about the movie. I don’t believe the story about Gerry and Jen. I really want her to find someone and let the Brad/Jen thing die. Oh well, maybe next year…

  42. pamela says:

    RAN, you are usually one of the first posters on any Brad and Angie’s thread, and have made your feelings about them very clear. Therefore, you should be the last person calling out any of their fans for posting on Aniston’s threads.

    Most everyone who follows celebrity gossip are making fun of Aniston, so dont lay this on the fans of the JPs.

  43. Nazarene says:

    Gerard Butler and Aniston have movies to promote. They also share the same management team. This is a publicity stunt, so chill out everyone! This is the same story they leaked out about Gerard Butler and Cameron Diaz. It even sounds the same. Go back read some of the blog posts about the Butler -Diaz hookup. It’s the same thing. They just changed the names. Oh, and Butler HAS a girlfriend already.

  44. K says:

    What’s on her nipple? It looks like one of those adhesive cover-ups! Bad job trying to conceal them! Next time, she shouldn’t bother! Jen has the greatest figure!

  45. Oh duhh says:

    duhhh Aniston is too old, GB likes emm young and beautiful SO SCRATCH Maniston.

    Oh for those saying the fans should stop bashing Maniston double duhhh puleaseee go see Angelina’s thread and read what the PSYCHO Jenniloonies from D-listed and FF posts these lunatics call ANGIE all kinds of nasty names and YOU people are complaining???

  46. Genevieve says:

    The only upside to this is that Gerry fans will see more photos of him. I have nothing against Jennifer. She’s had bad luck and none of us really know what kind of person she is. BUT hanging around with Aniston is only going to get Gerry smeared all over the tabloids, which he’s avoided so far. Run, Gerry, Run!

  47. RAN says:

    Poor Pamela – yet again, you are foolishly mistaken. You would be wise to check your facts before rambling off like an idiot. I am rarely the first to post on a Jolie/Pitt thread, because that’s usually the last article I read – and usually when I’m bored. A smart person would have checked that fact before rambling off foolish nonsense. Pull someone else into the ring to play your juvenile games… I’m not interested in you – especially since you post under multiples.

    As to Jolie/Pitt… I have no interest in bashing them, although I could, if I so chose. The hypocrisy between the two of them is ridiculous. People like you who make fun of others (like Aniston who minds her own business) but support people who are attempting to fool the world, only makes you look like one of those fools. 🙄

  48. Jeanne says:

    Please quit pairing this woman up. How many rebound guys has she had at this point, 15? Maybe, just maybe, she likes being alone sometimes. Maybe she’s not sure about her sexuality or has a female love interest we don’t know about. Maybe she doesn’t like sex. Or maybe she likes it a lot with all different guys. Who really knows? I just don’t get why some of the public have this incessant need to pair Jen up and marry her off. It’s like Princess Diana all over again.

  49. Nancy says:

    Regarding Jen and Gerald. I love both of them…especially Gerald. But from all the reading I’ve done on Gerry – he is a committment phobe and flirt – he even admits it in the September Marie Clair story. Jen…you are america’s sweatheart and after being married to the sexiest guy alive, you deserve a low key boyfriend/husband – see Julia Roberts’ camerman hubby.

  50. Nancy says:

    Oh, and I agree with the comments above…she is Tabloid meat and Gerry HATES that stuff. I live in Toronto and saw how he barked at fans that were shouting at him for autographs after his premiere…he made a joke of it, but really, he’s just an actor trying to make movies without people wanting to rip off his underwear. This match would be too much for the tabloids to handle…and too much for Jen and Gerry.

  51. Trashaddict says:

    Sigh. I just lost respect for Gerard.

  52. sj says:

    i can’t help it, she is goofy, brainless,and clueless, i believe that’s why her fans need to protect her that way, like someone said earlier, she’s like a woman/girl, look at all her decisions she makes, that’s not dating, duh, she’s like an older Paris-Brittney with men, they just use and abuse her, i think she is mentally unstable and need constant looking after, like her PR team. how sad, and she loves all the attention, if that doesn’t scream media/fame whore, i don’t know what does.

  53. Lola says:

    Celebitchy, Brangelina has just made a donation for a HIV/AIDS clinic in Ethiopia. May I add Burn after reading came out this weekend? How predictable. 🙄

  54. me says:

    right on lola right on

  55. Mairead says:

    Lola – Surely you’re not complaining that they are proving that you are never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever wrong? Ever! 😉

  56. geronimo says:

    Yeah, lola, those Coen Bros. need all the help they can get.

    It would be different if they were, let’s say, one of the most reveered film-making duos both within and outside the industry or had a shitload of international awards and one of the most enviable film-making CVs around. But since they aren’t and don’t (in lola world), they obviously need AJ’s golden touch to try and scrape a few dollars at the box office in the hope that it might help launch their directing career. 😉

    You truly are obsessed.

  57. Emily says:

    I noticed the donation and the cynic in me thought that too. It may however be innocent with no connection to Brad’s movie. Just too coincidental that these donations come when a Brad or Angelina movie is being promoted. They should be more tactful. They are getting transparent.

  58. Bodhi says:

    Who is being transparent? Aniston & Butler? I thought we were talking about them.

    I’m sure there will be a whole nother post about the Jolie-Pitts for Lola to pee on

  59. Lola says:

    Calm down Geronimo, I am after all pointing out something obvious. Have I fabricated anything? There is a donation and Brad’s movie came out. It is not rocket science.

    It helps the numbers at the box office I guess. After all, why would their camps keep doing it movie after movie. It must work.

    Coen brothers are good, but have never conquered the box office. Isn’t that the reason why movies are made. To make money, not collect awards. Not that the $20 million BAR brought in this weekend is huge any way. But it is decent for autum. I guess they were not expecting much from the movie, hence the autum release.

    I will keep preaching. Brangelina charity= fakeness= selfserving PR.

  60. geronimo says:

    Oh stick a sock in it, lola. You’re like a malfunctioning wind-up toy.

  61. Lola says:

    LOL…Geronimo, why do you let self be wound up? These people are strangers. You have your opinion of them. I have mine. I respect every one’s opinion. Have you ever seen any of my posts insulting any of you for your views? Or getting wound up by your blind devotion to this fake couple? I realise that there are very different people in this world. If you want every one to have your opinion, then with all due respect you shouldn’t be blogging. Better still advise your camp to be a bit more subtle (Though I doubt Brangelina and subtle can fit in the same capsule.).

  62. geronimo says:

    Lol! You really don’t get it. It’s not your OPINIONS, it’s the foolishness and total lack of logic that forms your opinions that gets me! I’m not the one obsessively tracking the J-P’s charitable giving or making ludicrously clueless comments about the Coens to back up my argument. That’d be you. I am allergic to your illogic.

  63. anon says:

    I’m in danger of being put off sex, reading the tripe about these two.

  64. lala says:

    Hate to burst your bubbles. Looks to me like John Mayer is the one crying in his beer. Jen could care less about either one of them….I bet you Jen DUMPED John Mayer. She needs a man NOT a BOY.

  65. mom says:

    Any part of the thigh that Gerard Butler touches is “the sexy part of the thigh”

  66. Cheyenne says:

    Oh dear God, not again. Watch the tabloids bring out cover stories next week about JEN’S!!! HOT!!! NEW!!! MAN!!! and her fan base will go into spasms of joy about how much HOTTER this guy is than Brad Pitt. Just as they did with Mayer, and Sculfor, and Vince Vaughn, and whoever came in between. And the beat goes on, and on, and on…

  67. Lee says:

    Oh come on!!!! She is cute, and she has her own life going on, if she is or not dating the handsome and sexy Gerard so what???????? Let it goes….they actually will be perfect match… fingers crossed for you Jen, that’s the best choice so far………..Best wishes…go for it!!!!!!!!

  68. Thyna says:

    The story that Star Magazine reported talks about them both drinking red wine that night. Gerry has said several times in interviews he doesn’t drink and he hasn’t had one in years (somewhere near a decade). That alone says it’s a bunch of hooey.

  69. Stan says:

    Gerard and Jennifer are friends, just like all of Gerard’s women. It is all a front … the man is definitely gay.

  70. Fianna says:

    Ok, here’s my take. Based on what we can determine from interviews and the like, Gerry is an insatiable flirt. He loves women and he loves to get a reaction from women. He’s a touchy feely kind of guy and he’s a ham. In my opinion, I feel that this is a Cameron Diaz situation. They were seen together, he was doing what he does and the gossip hounds want to make a story out of it.
    If it ends up that they are in fact interested in each other on a more personal level…I say good luck to them!
    Both Gerry and Jennifer deserve the best that life has to offer. (Don’t we all)? I wish it for both of them.

  71. AnnaSofia Garro says:

    They do make a sexy couple, but I saw Friday’s Ellen deGeneris show and Shamar Moore (Hunka Hunka burning flesh) put out an invitation to Jennifer. I cannot remember exactly what he said, but he intimated that he has a big time crush on that lady.

  72. responder27 says:

    you folks are seriously funny. thanks for the midnight laugh. Poor Jennifer Ashton..oops. am I getting my celeb’s mixed…Aniston ANISTON, YEAH, that funny girl from Friends, ‘Troy’s ex’…yeah. Leave Jennifer be, ladies! If for some wonderful reason Jennifer and Gerard actually hook up..fun time for them! Gorgeous peeps they deserve each other. But, can hunky dude Butler realistically persuade cuty girl to love again? ‘For Whom the Bell tolls?’

  73. responder27 says:

    ooops again..I retract the reference to ‘whom the bell tolls’ erh just wikied this reference nothing to do with hemmingways book….(sorry) i meant to reference perhaps…wedding bells for these two folks?

  74. colleen says:

    I absolutely love Jen….I say go girl. She doesn’t ask for all this publicity..it just seems to find her…that must suck! The poor girl can’t pick her nose without someone noticing. As for the whole brad and Angie thing..yuck is all I can say. Jen did nothing wrong..and if you don’t like her..THEN WHy do u keep commenting on her and reading up on her. Hmmmmm you must not have a life…unlike jen..she has a life and doesnt seem to care what anyone else thinks…she ROCKS!

  75. Skye says:

    I say let him have his fun. I mean he isn’t married and if I had a one nighter or more with gerry do be it call me a slut if ya want I would totally do it! hahahah

  76. Lona says:

    HE IS TOOOOOOOOO HOT FOR HER!SHE’S UGLY!!JUST ANOTHER SIMPLE GIRL PUSHED BY THE MEDIA!!!
    I HOPE THEY ARE NOT TOGETHER!HE CAN DO BETTER!

  77. Crystal67 says:

    Gerard is wayy too hot for the “Angelina” wannabe…Jennifer really should get over Brad and Angelina..and move on without wishing she can end up with Gerard.

    Hes way too good for her..and hes sexy as hell!! Yummies!!:)
