Is Reese Witherspoon treating Gerard Butler like a piece of meat?

On Tuesday, we had a little preview from Lainey Gossip about Star Magazine’s shocking hookup allegation. The hookup? Gerard Butler and Reese Witherspoon. Scandal! Considering no one else is really running with this alleged hookup, and because it’s Star Magazine, and because it’s Gerard “I’ll Bone Anything” Butler and Reese “Prim & Proper” Witherspoon, I was very wary. But, still, it’s fun gossip, and I’d like to think that Reese does have a side of herself that’s fun-loving and willing to bang a dirty Scotsman. In any case, Star Magazine put their story online, and it’s pretty funny. Star leaves the vague impression that Gerard is Reese’s shamef-ck. As in, “I’ll let you bone me, but please don’t tell anyone about it, okay?” Which I can totally picture Reese saying:

Reese Witherspoon has been having a little fun with Hollywood’s playboy du jour, Gerard Butler.

“Reese’s friends are giggling about her secretly meeting up with Gerard. She thinks he’s superhot!” a friend of the actress told Star. “Reese is just having a good time with him. They’ve hung out a few times, mostly at his place in L.A.”

The two showed an interest in each other after producers at New Line Cinema approached them a few months ago to read scripts together for a new movie. “New Line thought Reese and Gerard would make a hot on-screen couple,” said the friend.

“They got very chatty while reading the scripts, and there was noticeable chemistry. After that reading, they started talking and hanging out.”

They most recently met up on Jan. 22 at an after party for the Hope for Haiti Now fund-raiser at L.A.’s Sunset Tower Hotel. But the friend says that Reese, 33, isn’t looking for anything serious with the 40-year-old actor, especially since she still cares for ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

“Reese doesn’t want to hurt Jake’s feelings and doesn’t want him to know about her and Gerard. She’s not interested in taking it a step further with Gerard — and that’s how she wants to keep it.”

Now, Reese and Gerard might be sort of hot in real life, but I have to smack the producer who wants to put them together for a film. What the hell? Reese does not work well with guys who smell bad. Or look like they smell bad. Need I remind Hollywood producers what happened when they paired Vince Vaughn with Reese? They fought constantly, refused to touch each other, and Vince couldn’t even “act” his way through doing the publicity rounds with Reese when the film was released. But maybe the producers are counting on Gerard’s charm offensive. Remember how well he got along with Katherine Heigl? And she’s another tight-ass, but she adored The Butler. Meh. It could work.

  2. Essie says:

    Right, Reese did marry Ryan P. but Ryan WAS NOT FILTHY and he didn’t look like he never bathe!!

    There is no way Reese would hook up with Butler and nobody could convince me otherwise.

  3. nona says:

    She looks like a white RuPaul in that picture

  4. clare says:

    Gerard will probably run when Reese dons her dominatrix garb.

  5. Phowie says:

    This gives a whole new meaning to Reese’s pieces.

  6. Lenore says:

    Surely the correct response to that headline is “Yes, if she’s lucky”?

    I mean, unwashed manwhore he may be, but he’s not a shameful or disgusting one (a la John Mayer). No silent treatment or making you feel dirty about your little hookup. Butler would probably call you afterwards and stay friendly and tell you exactly how great your boobs were and how lucky your new guy is to be nailing you.

    Gerard Butler should be every woman’s breakup present to herself.

  7. snowball says:

    @Lenore – “Gerard Butler should be every woman’s breakup present to herself.”

    That seriously is something to embroider on a pillow! LMAO It doesn’t hurt that he wouldn’t mind either. If he can semi-hookup with some stranger playing a violin on the street, we’re all his type. 🙂

    Every kitty needs a scratch pole.

  9. Maritza says:

    Oh please, there’s nothing going on with these two. It’s obvious they are only planning on doing a movie together.

  10. Alecto says:

    I’D HIT IT!!

  11. irishserra says:

    Is it me or does Reese look old and haggard of late?

  12. Camille says:

    She’s to good for him.

  13. Cheyenne says:

    I’d only hit it if he took a long shower first. He looks moldy.
