Here are some photos of Gerard Butler and Miranda Kerr at the Met Gala on Monday night. They worked the carpet separately, of course. Although I don’t think either of their significant others were at the event. Gerard’s girlfriend, Romanian model/actress/whatever Madalina Ghenea, was not with him (more on that in a moment). And Miranda Kerr seemed to be without Orlando Bloom too. He’s probably in rehearsals for Romeo & Juliet, maybe. And what do we know about Miranda’s behavior when her husband isn’t around? OH RIGHT. So this little Page Six piece was especially interesting:

… At a Brooks Brothers and Town & Country-sponsored party for the film at the Lambs Club, Hollywood hunk Gerard Butler was seen chatting up Orlando Bloom’s wife, former Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr. But Butler was then spotted asking fotogs to erase any shots of them together, several spies told Page Six.

“When he approached one photographer to erase the photos, they high-fived and bro-hugged,” one source said, adding, Butler and Kerr “had been standing close in conversation for 20 minutes. She was smiling.”

[From Page Six]

Yeah. Miranda totally got Butler’d. I’m surprised there wasn’t a Porto-potty tryst. Or perhaps there was, and it just happened in the legitimate bathroom. I swear, I’m really beginning to believe that Miranda just compulsively cheats on Orlando. Poor Orly.

As for Gerard and Madalina, over the weekend she gave an interview to a Romanian talk show where she was singing Gerard’s praises while simultaneously using the past tense almost exclusively. When asked point-blank if she and Gerard would ever separate, she said: “If there is any possibility? It’s personal life, it is a very personal detail. But that’s how it is, unfortunately we live in a world where relationships end more quickly than they should.” You can read the interview here. A few days later, though, a source claimed Madalina’s “relationship with the actor is practically over, they rarely see each other…And on a professional level she’s not doing too great either.” Yeah. Sounds like Classic Butler. I’m surprised he was able to stay with one woman for as long as he did.

The Coachella festival raged on for a second weekend, and there are tons of new photos, but this was like Coachella reject weekend. In other words, there was no Alexander Skarsgard in attendance to double fist Viking beer and generally hang around looking hot. And there were no Robsten sightings to awkward up the place either. Instead, we’ve got Gerard Butler, who loves Coachella because it’s his very favorite place to enjoy porta potty sex with randoms. I think last year’s festival was the breaking point for Kaiser’s enduring crush on the dude, and I can’t blame her because that sh-t is nasty. My own, long-dead fascination with Gerard lasted about five minutes after watching 300, and then the guy tried to lazily pass off his Scottish brogue for an Irish accent in P.S. I Love You, and I was done with him for good. If that hadn’t done the trick, I’m sure porta potty sex would have sufficed to gross me out enough too.

Here are some more photos from Coachella, weekend deux. Courtney Love was there and was a total mess, of course. I imagine she plotted to accost Gerard in a porta potty before completely losing her train of thought.

Jessica Alba seems out of place at Coachella. She probably worried the entire time about all of the plastic bottles that were poisoning everyone at the festival.

Mischa Barton seemed really out of it and overdressed for an event where people lounge around on the grass.

I think Paris Hilton and River Viiperi are basically living at Coachella now. Man, Paris really needs a new shtick.

Hey, it’s Robert Ackroyd from Florence + the Machine. He and Katy Perry debuted their romance at last year’s festival, and now he’s but a distant memory in a douchecloud of John Mayer.

Remember the revolting Brandon Davis? He’s lost a lot of weight, but he still looks like a greasy bear.

Maybe it’s my old-school Gerard Butler fan-girl coming out, but I’ve been wary of Butler’s girlfriend Madalina Ghenea since they started dating last year. While I do like (appreciate?) the idea of Gerard having a steady girlfriend after bingeing on strange for YEARS, Madalina gives me weird vibes. She looks like a cross between Oksana Grigorieva and Elisabetta Canalis, and by that I mean she looks sort of drag-queeny and like she’s had a lot of work done. I have other derogatory things to say, but I’ll abstain lest I admit to myself that I still kind of care about Gerard despite my better judgment.

Anyway, after Madalina and Gerard seemed connected at the hip for a few months, she hasn’t been anywhere near Gerard as he promoted Olympus Has Fallen. Could it be that Gerard finally dumped her?

Gerard Butler won’t be hearing wedding bells anytime soon, because sources say the actor is growing tired of his current girlfriend, Madalina Ghenea! Butler, 43, thought he had found The One with the 24-year-old model, but he’s come to realize that he has an unquenchable thirst for women, and isn’t the type to settle down for good.

“He would like to have a family, but he loves women too much,” says a pal. While no breakup has been confirmed, Gerard was seen flirting up a storm while on his movie’s promotional tour.

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

“He has an unquenchable thirst for women, and isn’t the type to settle down for good” = “He has an unquenchable thirst for [randoms, strangers, anything with a pulse, Real Housewives, whoever he meets in a Porto-potty], and isn’t the type to [remember their names].” Fixed! Gerard does what he does and it is incredibly gross and he’s past the age where this womanizing shtick can be passed off as some kind of “phase”. This is who he is. He’s not even a serial monogamist like George Clooney. Gerard just loves strange. And being with the same woman (?) for months at a time is not part of his agenda.

Some photos of Gerard in England this week – he looks exhausted! He must be hittin’ it with strange women every single night.

Here are some assorted photos of Gerard Butler (and Aaron Eckhart) promoting Olympus Has Fallen in Russia (last week) and London (this week). Gerard not only stars in the film – about terrorists capturing the White House and the President – but he’s also a producer, which explains why he’s been front-and-center for all of the promotion. Still, it would have been nice to see him get a major magazine cover, right? For all of his faults and Porto-potty bangin’, Gerard is a good interview and a half-way interesting dude. During a Q&A session in London two nights ago, Gerry talked about how he needed to decompress after the grueling film schedule for Olympus:

Actor Gerard Butler says he felt so stressed out after filming new movie `Olympus Has Fallen` he stepped out of the spotlight and embarked on a round-the-world trip. The 43-year-old Scottish actor said that the pressure of producing and acting in the action-thriller got too much for him at times, and he felt overwhelmed, reported Daily Star.

“I have to tell you that sometimes, when you are producing and you feel that weight, it`s tough. A couple of people were reminding me while we were in the middle of making it of how crazy I got. They would tell me about how insane I got and things I was saying. I would go, `Oh yeah, so I did`,” he said.

“I`ve been making Olympus for a long time, so I thought it was time for a break. I decided to travel. In the past six or seven weeks, I have been to Scotland, England, Italy, Switzerland, Thailand, Mexico, Columbia – all for different reasons. But, mostly for travelling, just going to places and seeing friends… But, the real highlight for me was in Thailand, becoming a monk. I was hiding out in temples a lot,” Butler said.

[From Zee News]

He became a monk? Is that like an honorary thing? Because Gerard is NO MONK. Still, I’m sure he enjoyed his travels – it must have been like his International Tour of Strange. Gerard loves international booty calls. He must have ladies in every country. Except for maybe Thailand, which is why he became a “monk”.

As for Olympus Has Fallen – it got pretty crappy reviews (Rotten Tomatoes has it at 47%) but it’s making money. And Gerard’s career keeps limping along. Sigh… remember when he was supposed to be the next big thing? What happened? I actually have a theory! I think Hollywood didn’t know what to do with Gerard’s accent, and God knows, he’s incapable of doing any other accent besides Scottish. Only being able to play Scottish characters realistically has really hampered his career. Plus, you know… he’s not that great of an actor. Not that it stops other, more successful actors, I guess.

Here are some photos of Ashley Judd and Gerard Butler at last night’s LA premiere of Olympus Has Fallen, that stupid-looking movie where Gerry (I think?) plays a Secret Service agent trying to save the White House from an air assault or something. All I can remember from the trailer is that a plane takes out the Washington Monument, which is probably one of the most potent “Castrated America” images in the history of filmmaking.

I didn’t even know Ashley Judd was in the movie, so this is a bit of a shock. She plays the fictional FLOTUS apparently. Ashley looked pretty good on the carpet – I can’t find the designer ID, but I’m assuming it’s Herve Leger because it looks exactly like a Herve Leger dress. It’s a pretty color on her, and I like her hair length these days.

Ashley is the reason I wanted to cover these photos – I know most of you don’t care, but I’ve been following Ashley’s movements to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for the 2014 Senate race in Kentucky. She still hasn’t announced, although she does seem to be making all the right motions – she’s meeting with DNC people, she’s gauging the interest level within Kentucky, and I think she’s probably cleaning up whatever chaos and drama remains in her personal life. I still think Ashley would be a trainwreck as a candidate for state-wide office. The issue isn’t that she’s a Hollywood actress (although that won’t help in Kentucky) – the issue is that I feel strongly that she has some mental health issues. But regardless of my concerns, it does seem like Ashley is going to do it, and as such, the right-wing media machine has already spun into action to mock her. Here’s what happened at CPAC a few days ago:

Fox News contributor and comedian Steven Crowder mocked liberal actress Ashley Judd on Saturday during a conservative gathering, claiming she was strangely fixated on rape.

“By the way, in breaking news, Ashley Judd just tweeted that buying Apple products, again, is akin to rape,” he said at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “From her iPhone. Rape — now she knows how my brain felt after Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Oh, she said it. What is this obsession with Ashley Judd and rape? It’s pretty unnerving.”

As Mother Jones noted, Judd was sexually abused as a young girl.

Crowder was referring to an opinion piece Judd wrote in 2010, in which the actress lamented she was inadvertently supporting rape by purchasing Apple products and other electronics. The mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo frequently employs violence, including rape, to coerce workers into producing the materials needed to manufacture electronics.

“My electronics, received as gifts or purchased, profit armed militias and support slavery,” Judd wrote. “I am financing mass rape as I enjoy these ridiculously Global North ultra-efficiencies and conveniences, for large scale rape is the preferred predation mining interests use to humiliate and terrify local populations, in order to control resource areas.”

Judd is rumored to be considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Kentucky. She would face Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

[From Raw Story]

Yeah. This douche is just some Fox News “comedian” (who has a history of saying really “funny” misogynistic stuff), so it’s not like this is coming out of Mitch McConnell’s mouth. But if Ashley gets into the race and she ends up going head-to-head with McConnell… oh, God. It’s going to be so much worse for her.

As we discussed yesterday, Gerard Butler finally got around to admitting that he and Brandi Glanville hooked up at some point… I think 2011. Brandi admitted it in 2012, then Gerard kind of denied it (“Who’s Brandi Glanville?”) and now Gerry is all “Yeah we hooked up but it’s not like I knew her full name or anything.” So now we have to hear Brandi’s reaction to Gerard finally admitting that they boned:

Brandi Glanville has had her share of public embarrassments — Eddie Cibrian’s affair with LeAnn Rimes, anyone? — but she’s learned how to shrug them off effortlessly! Speaking to Andy Cohen at Watch What Happens Live! in Austin, Tex. — where WWHL is filming all week for SXSW — the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was noticeably chill about her former fling Gerard Butler’s recent admission.

Glanville, 40, told Cohen that she felt “vindicated” by the actor’s confessional chat with Howard Stern — in which the Olympus Has Fallen star admitted that he and Glanville slept together for a “one-afternooner,” but then forgot the reality star’s name during a quick chat with a photographer.

“We had a little texting today, and I think he’s a doll and I feel bad for what I said,” Glanville told Cohen – who previously over shared with the Bravo emcee about her fling with Butler, praising his talents as a lover.

“He is lovely and I appreciate him making it right,” the Drinking and Tweeting author continued.

Butler himself confirmed that he and Glanville reconnected. “I said one, ‘I’m not very happy you did that because there are certain things you keep a little private.’ And two, ‘I’m sorry I said I didn’t know who you were!’” recalled Butler, whose previous hookups include Jessica Biel and Jennifer Aniston.

[From Us Weekly]

Oh, so they still have each other’s numbers? I bet Gerard’s girlfriend isn’t happy about that. But that’s what she gets for dating Gerard Butler. There’s always going to be some Real Housewife or Porto-potty tramp waiting in the wings! I don’t really understand why people are judging either Gerard or Brandi for hooking up – they were both adults, they were both single at the time, they had a quickie or whatever and the only drama that came out of it was whether Gerard remembered her name. And I don’t even think Brandi was that upset about it, you know? They’re both a little long in the tooth for these kinds of shenanigans, but whatever. Let them have their fun.

Back in 2011, Gerard Butler and Brandi Glanville hooked up. I don’t know if the hookup was just one night or one hour or one week, but it began and ended pretty quickly and Gerard barely got her name. When the tabloids began repeating the rumor that they hooked up, Brandi ended up confirming it. And then a paparazzo ran into Gerry and asked him if her hooked up with Brandi and Gerry’s reply was, “Who’s Brandi Glanville?” Brandi had to do some damage control and she later said that Gerry had called her to apologize and admonish her for kissing and telling.

Yesterday, Gerry appeared on Howard Stern’s show and Stern ended up asking him about the Brandi situation. I can’t help it – I thought Gerry was incredibly funny describing what went down. Is he sleazy? Of course. But I feel like he isn’t pretending to be anything other than a dude who will literally bang a lady for a week without bothering to find out her last name or her occupation.

Gerard Butler, speaking with Howard Stern Monday, acknowledged making love to Brandi Glanville, and he clarified his earlier confusion when asked about the celebrity hook-up. Stern brought up the Brandi tryst to the dreamy Scotsman, who explained the circumstances behind his roll-in-the-hay with the Real Housewife, which she rated “11 out of 10.”

He said he crossed paths with Brandi “at a beach party,” and “had a little bit of fun” with the mother-of-two. He said in casual conversation, he asked her what she did for a living, but she changed the subject in the heat of the moment.

The 300 star said his “Who’s Brandi Glanville?” comment came when a pap ambushed him and asked him about the hook-up after she publicly bragged about it.

“You know what I said — ‘Who’s Brandi Glanville?’ — because I didn’t know her last name, didn’t know she was a celebrity, didn’t know she was going to run out and f*cking tell everyone about it!”

[From Radar]

My favorite part is Gerry asking Brandi what she does for a living and she’s like, “nevermind, don’t worry about it.” As in, “I know you don’t even care, so I won’t even bother describing it. Let’s do this. Take off your pants.” So, does everyone believe Brandi now? Gerry confirms it – they made sweet, sweaty, Scottish love. And he sort of remembers her.

I never really understood the Jonah Hill backlash last year. He was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar (for Moneyball), and no one really thought he had a shot at it, but I really liked that he got nominated and that he started rolling with the big boys – there were always lots of photos of Jonah hanging out with Brad Pitt and George Clooney last year. Then Jonah got cast in a Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street), and Jonah began running with Leo’s crowd. And now he’s one of Leo’s boys. Jonah has been inducted into the P-ssy Posse. And I’m starting to worry! Page Six claims that Leo and Jonah were down in Miami and they were hanging out with Mel Gibson and Gerard Butler. NO JONAH NO.

Jonah Hill and Gerard Butler made it rain, literally, at Miami club Story on Friday. The pair — along with Leonardo DiCaprio, Mel Gibson and Bradley Cooper — rolled in with three guards, spies said, and then grabbed a 4-foot water gun in the DJ booth to “take turns shooting water over the dance floor” as Erick Morillo spun.

The gang of five stars has been spotted together hitting venues in Miami, including Villa Azur, co-owned by Halle Berry’s fiancé, Olivier Martinez. On Saturday, Berry and Martinez even joined Hill and Butler’s dude posse, and they all hit LIV at Fontainebleau, where a spy says Berry tried to convince Martinez to join her on the dance floor, and finally gave up.

[From Page Six]

It’s weird that Bradley Cooper was there too, right? It takes the whole “bromance” to another level. In my mind, Jonah Hill is the Joe Pesci to Leo’s Bob DeNiro, but Bradley Cooper just seems like the guy who tries too hard to fit in with the dudes. Do you think Leo’s crowd rolls their eyes at Bradley’s try-hard? Or do you think Bradley is probably cooler than I’m giving him credit for? As for the Mel Gibson and Gerard Butler inclusion… dear God. I feel like Jonah needs an intervention. Come back to us Jonah!!

I’m not sure what’s going on in these photos. My gut is telling me that this isn’t some kind of “Oh, Mel Gibson and Gerard Butler just ran into each other at some restaurant” thing. Fame/Flynet describes the pics as “Actors Mel Gibson and Gerard Butler enjoy some time together in Miami Beach, FL on February 2nd, 2013. After lunching with a beautiful lady, Gibson stepped out with Butler and joked with each other as they move through the crowds.” ??????

So what does this mean? My first gross thought was that they like the same kind of women – Mel’s post-divorce ladies have been leggy brunettes with wide mouths (better for Jucuzzi beejs?) and Gerard definitely shares that type too. So is this a “like-minds” thing about their ladies? Is that enough to build a friendship with a violent, woman-beating anti-Semite?

What worries is me is that it seems like Mel and Gerard are partying together often enough nowadays – TMZ had photos of the two of them a few nights before, just two dudes hanging out in Miami, eating steaks and cavier and drinking sake. Which is still alcoholic, right? Both Gerard and Mel should not be drinking sake. At all. You know what really worries me? The idea that Mel Gibson may have reached out to Gerard Butler to try to “sober-coach” him and help him out, like Mel did with Robert Downey Jr. And Lindsay Lohan. Mel as a sober-coach? With sake? Ugh.

Did you know that Gerard Butler has been with the same woman for something like four months? It might even be longer than that! This from the man who never met a random chick that he couldn’t quickly nail in a Porto-potty then immediately forget. And that was just at last year’s Coachella! So, at some point last fall (Fall 2012), Gerard began dating “Romanian model” Madalina Ghenea. This is Madalina:

She looks like a cross between Elisabetta Canalis and Mel Gibson’s baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, right? It’s a good cross – and I can see how she’s Gerry’s type. He loves darker women, he loves leggy girls, he loves that haughty, model-y look. And yes, she does have the same kind of transvestite vibe that Elisabetta Canalis had, but whatever. Gerry is IN LOVE. He wants to marry her. He wants to get her pregnant. For real!

Gerard Butler is about to go from ladies’ man to family man. Star has learned that the notorious Hollywood bachelor, 43, is gunning to settle down with his girlfriend of eight months, Romanian model Madalina Ghenea. He’s whisking the 24-year-old off to his home country of Scotland, where he plans to not only pop the question but work on getting her pregnant as well!

“Gerard is crazy about Madalina,” says a pal, “and he really wants a baby as soon as possible.”

While filming Playing for Keeps, Gerard became close to the kids in the movie, and realized that the clock is ticking to have his own.

“He’s scared of getting any older before having a baby – he knows time isn’t on his side.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

I’m not completely rejecting the notion that some men have biological clocks, and that the desire to procreate and have babies at a certain time in one’s life is only a “chick thing.” I’m not saying that at all! There are some men who have urgent, pounding biological clocks, and there are dudes who really, really cannot wait to become fathers. Maybe Gerard is one of them. But given how he’s lived his life over the past, say, six years… probably not. Still, I’m impressed that he’s lasted so long with Madalina. This just shows that not everything that came out of Sex & the City was wrong – there was always SATC anecdote that I thought was dead-on: when a man is ready to settle down, his light is on and he ends up marrying the first woman he “picks up” after that. Maybe Gerry got tired of bangin’ random, nameless chicks or maybe he just got it out of system. Maybe his light is on. We’ll see.
