Jennifer Aniston hooking up with Gerard Butler, wants to move to Scotland

anistonbutlerheader

If Jennifer Aniston doesn’t get off Gerard Butler very, very soon, there will be scene. There will be a temper tantrum. There will be a hissy fit. There will be blood! Aniston, I drink your milkshake! I could totally kick her ass, too.

In the new In Touch Weekly, there’s an article about Gerry and Jennifer that has made me stabby. According to them, Jennifer and Gerard have developed a friendship since they first met at the Toronto Film Festival last September. At the time, there was some unfortunate reporting that Gerard had his hands on Jennifer’s thigh. Stabby. Since then, there have been on-and-off rumors that Gerard and Jennifer were going to be doing a film together – a musical, set in a prison.

Now it seems both Aniston and Gerard are looking for a little romance with each other. Jennifer is “very interested in making up for lost time with the actor” while Gerard is “very excited to see her again and wants to hook up with her again and hang out”. Friends of both Gerard and Jennifer are warning Jennifer that Gerry is a womanizer, though. Jennifer doesn’t care, because as In Touch Weekly says in a bold sub-headline, “She’s Lonely”:

It’s been less than a month sine Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer broke up – but she’s apparently already falling for another reputed womanizer. Jen, 40, recently had several secret meetings in a New York apartment with 300 star Gerard Butler, reveals a good friend of the actress.

As In Touch reported previously reported, Jen and Gerard were flirting at the Toronto International Film Festival last September where… they spent an evening “drinking champagne and talking.” At the time, Jen was with John Mayer, so she didn’t pursue things further. But now that she’s free, Jen is very interested in making up for lost time with the actor, with whom she’s planning two new movies, says the friend. “She said that in their film meetings, their chemistry was intense and physical,” the friend shares.

Gerard, 39, feels the same. “He’s very excited to see her again and wants to hook up with her again and hang out,” says one of his pals, who cautions that even though he’s “very attracted to her,” Jennifer should beware. “He’s a total player.”

She’s Lonely
At this point, Jennifer doesn’t seem to care. Shooting The Baster, a film about a single, 40-year-old woman’s desperate attempts to get pregnant, Jen’s finding that the material is cutting too close to home. “Jen’s been calling her friends and crying, saying that she can’t stand to be alone,” says a longtime pal.

The friend says that Jen can’t wait to get back to Los Angeles – and Gerard.

According to a confidante, Jen is envisioning a future together in Gerard’s native Scotland: “She has a thing about wanting to move there and get a little place in the countryside.”

But many worry that, as far as her emotions go, Jen may be traveling too far, too fast. If she doesn’t slow down, she’ll have another broken heart yet again – instead of finding the love she wants so badly.

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition April 27 2009]

How dare Aniston steal my dream of running away to Scotland with Gerard Butler! That’s actually the part of the story that is the least believable – that Jennifer would trade Malibu and Beverly Hills for a farmhouse in moors of Scotland. I would be at home in the moors (call me, Gerry!), but not Aniston. Not with her rigorous sunbathing schedule.

So is their chemistry “intense and physical”? Even though it pains me to say so, it probably is. Gerard Butler is so charming and sexy, he could have “intense and physical” chemistry with a wet noodle. And now I wish I were a wet noodle.

But there’s a part in In Touch’s report that seems to show off the “we’re just making this up as we go along” reporting: that Jennifer “can’t wait to get back to Los Angeles – and Gerard.” Gerry’s spent the last three months filming in Philadelphia, then he’s been staying in New York. This verifies the first part of the report, that the two might be meeting up in a New York apartment. But Gerry moves around a lot, and Los Angeles isn’t always his home base. So why would Jennifer be so eager to get back to LA? Oh, right. The sunbathing.

Jennifer Aniston is shown at the premiere of Management at the Toronto Film Festival on 9/7/08. Gerard Butler is shown at the Rocknrolla premiere on 9/1/08. Images thanks to WENN.com .

    That is a huge upgrade from John Meyer. I hope they hook up for serious in time for Jennifer to have his baby.

  2. meta says:

    wow that is a serious upgrade indeed, hope it’s true

  3. luckystar says:

    I think they would be cute together. He would definitely loosen her up and make her laugh.

  4. rbsesq says:

    Don’t worry Kaiser. I smell bullsh*t.

  5. kxx says:

    Er not sure if we want Jen here in Scotland….

  6. PunkCountryFan says:

    ^^^That’s too bad, its your turn.

  7. lady garden says:

    i would really love to toss his caber

  8. Don'tStopBecause says:

    Hmmm, Kaiser I’m a little worried that you *like* Gerard just a little too much (so much stabby for JA!). You needn’t worry, because as you say, JA won’t give up her suncancerbathing regime anytime soon.

  9. Tintangel says:

    Well if she’s lonely now she’ll be even lonelier in Scotland. He hasn’t lived there in over 10 years. Maybe she can shack up with the Loch Ness monster.

  10. Wow says:

    This is more like it! Either him or John Stamos.

  11. Tintangel says:

    Forgot to add, her hair will really hate the Scottish climate.

  12. lisa says:

    He is too free spirited for her and she is too desperate and clingy for him. I just don’t see a long term coming out of this.

  13. geronimo says:

    LOL Tintangel, so right! I regularly enter Scotland with a smooth, shining head of hair and emerge days later with a lock-ness-monster-frightening furball of a frightwig where my hair used to be. Definitely not the climatic conditions for hair-sissies!

  14. kiki says:

    thats enough of Jennifer I’m sick and tired of seeing or hearing about her.

  15. Kaiser says:

    @Don’tStop – No, I like Gerard the appropriate amount. For a stalker.

    Why doesn’t he call? *sob*

  16. Eileen Yover says:

    I think this is false-or rather I want to think that. Plus who in their right mind would stay with Douchebag Meyer if there was even a tiny chance of meeting up with Gerard?? Or am I giving her too much credit expecting her to be in a “right mind?” Even if there was a chance of just bumping into him on the way to the toilet I’d dump Meyer, he’s not even in the same universe as Gerard. ***sigh****

  17. Ryo says:

    She will never move to Scotland. There are no paparazzi to follow her there – how would she keep herself in the news?

  18. Rose says:

    Jen may have been drinking champagne, but GB doesn’t drink alcohol so there’s the first factual error in the silly story. They’d make a good-looking couple, but I doubt it’s going to happen. I’m beginning to wonder if GB’s ever going to settle down, get married and have babies with some lucky girl. (Or manybe unlucky girl, because his rabid fans might hang her out to dry.) Anyway, he’s beautiful.

  19. Annie says:

    Agreed on the good-looking couple!

    Let’s face it, we’re not going to get our hands on Gerard, so you know, let her have her fun.

    Though, if I were to ever get the chance, you bet I’d be all over that like fat kids to a cupcake.

  20. HashBrowns says:

    I doubt any of it is true considering the myriad factual errors.

    @kikki: She’s a celebrity. She isn’t going away. Get over it and stop reading and commenting on her posts. I neither read nor comment on the idiocy that is Heidi and Spencer.

    I like Jennifer Aniston but I would totally drink her milkshake (LOL) if she tried messing with ChipmunkCheeks McButler. He may look like he’s storing up for winter but he’s sexy all the same.

  21. Jocelina says:

    I hope it’s true — he’d be a huge step up from John Mayer!

  22. Maritza says:

    She really knows how to keep herself busy, I don’t think he is marriage material but at least she’ll have fun while Mr. Right comes along.

  23. sue draper says:

    Aniston is known as a very high maintenance person in a relationship. No man can tolerate her for very long. I am so happy that Brad got away when he did. Please, please, please God. Let her move to Scotland. Anywhere as long as it’s far away from North America. Please?

  24. Jeanette says:

    I say u go girl! Do it till he cant walk anymore!

  25. Lady Death says:

    D E S P E R A T E is right! Jen’s been in a relentless pursuit to repair her image for years now. Afterall, she was the losing 1/2 of a breakup that will go down in Hollywood history. She lost one helluva prize to a competitor that outmatched her on every level. She should have taken a cue from JLo’s playbook post the Bennifer saga, and married a successful, stable man (only somewhat cause Marc Anthony pulled “a Brad” himself to be with JLo) and removed herself from the public eye. But these PR ploys with every co-star!? I’ll grant Butler a bit more of a concession because of his sexuality. Its understandable that his people would want to attach him to every actress in Tinsletown for a cover. But they should go the Hugh Jackman route and “marry” him off to a beard. The Playa routine is about as believable as Santa Claus.

  26. ChristinaT says:

    ok i didn’t care about JA one way or the other before, but NOW i hate her… grrrrr!

  27. daniel says:

    she should date some younger good looking guy that isn’t in HollowWood and works some low-paying job. That way the guy will be nice to her and appreciate her.

  28. Elanenergy says:

    Lady Death, are you kidding?! Jennifer Anniston (whom I have no real opinion about) should have got married following her divorce. What is this, the middle ages? You seem to be saying that a woman MUST get married following a break up, just like JLO? That’s just insane and archaic. Alone time is not an unhealthy state of being. On the contrary.

  29. HashBrowns says:

    @Lady Death: Brad Pitt is a prize???

    You must be a transplant from a bygone era, honey because men and women these days can be alone and not be “desperate”. You Brangeloonies have been trying to stick Jennifer Aniston with that crap for 5 years but its not working. She doesn’t have to be married, she doesn’t have to have children and that doesn’t make her selfish, superficial or desperate.

    By the way, wasn’t Kaiser supposed to refrain from writing about Jennifer Aniston considering the obvious negative bias? (Just in reference to the constant sunbathing nonsense, I get that Kaiser was joking about the Gerard Butler stuff)

  30. Casey says:

    The media likes to portray her as pathetic because it sells magazines. If she’s seeing him or having fun, good for her. She’s single and should see whoever she wants to.

  31. becca says:

    InTouch has an epic factcheck fail. Gerard doesn’t drink. At all. He’s a former alcoholic. He avoids alcohol religiously.

    InTouch are a bunch of idiots. *eyeroll. Don’t worry Kaiser, if there’s that big hole in the story, there is probably at least one other.

  32. Lem says:

    whew. Paul Bettany scores again 😉

  33. DD says:

    wait I thought Jennifer was hooking up with Jon Voight from the other thread?
    Gerard Butler wow! way to go girl. Who cares if he’s a womaizer, he’s uber sexy. Let the girl have some fun.

  34. cherie says:

    lighten up hashbrowns, I think Aniston does a very good job of making herself look bad. She dated JOHN MAYER! Then, went back to him after humiliated her. And, the Oscars? Sorry, that’s sad. I didn’t feel sorry for Jessica Simpson and I don’t for Aniston either.

  35. judy says:

    If it is true I give it 3 months like all the toher ones.

  36. lisa says:

    Has anyone informed Gerard that he is in a relationship with Jen. Has anyone told him that he is moving back to Scotland with her. Does he know any of this. Because I saw as pick recently with him and a woman.. Oh she was not Jen. Maybe Jennifer or one of her “close friends” should call him and let him know. It would really help the relationship if all parties involved were aware that a relationship exists.

    Oh and no Jennifer does not need to be with a man. No she does not need to be a Mom. Most of the criticism comes because she keeps changing her stance.. In 5 years I will have a baby.. I believe the man of my dream is walking the streets somewhere.. I do and will have kids..

    See confusing. I wish she would just say I don’t want to be a Mom and enjoy living my life single and free. Nothing wrong with that at all.

  37. HashBrowns says:

    There isn’t anything wrong with it, but just because you say you want something doesn’t mean you’ll ever get it. And meeting the right guy is a difficult task. She hasn’t done it yet and some people never do. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t think the “man of her dreams is walking around somewhere”. Just because she doesn’t have a child right now, doesn’t mean she never wants them or never has wanted them.

    I could tell people that I want to be married and have kids and have it never happen just because I never found the right guy or felt it was right to have/adopt children. It doesn’t mean I’m being disingenuous.

    If you had to do everything you had said you’d wanted in the past (multiple times even), I’d need to have a pool filled with pudding (childhood dream for about 7 years) and marry the “love of my life” Dylan (loved from 6th grade to 8th grade). Am I being disingenuous by not having a pool full of pudding?

    I guess the point is, all of you naysayers are out there saying that Jennifer Aniston cannot express that she wants something. Um, what? Do you understand how that makes zero sense?

    So she changes her mind. Three years ago I wanted to be a professional go-go dancer. Today I want kids, about a year ago I didn’t want to be bothered with them at all.

    “Changing your stance” is normal. Very normal. Especially with things you can’t really control i.e. finding a good relationship and a healthy situation for kids to be brought into.

  38. Casey says:

    That was a good post Hashbrowns.

    I’m not a big Aniston fan, but find myself sticking up for her just because she gets bashed no matter what she does.

    How about she’s just living her life? People read soooooooooooo much into everything she does.

  39. HashBrowns says:

    And, not to belabor the point, she isn’t changing a political stance or her stance on really important issues like abortion or gun control or taxes or childhood obesity. She’s changing her stance on something that is very personal that none of us have any right to say that she has no right to change her mind about.

    Sorry to rant a bit, but it boggles my mind.

    She can change her mind about her personal matters. It’s as simple as that. Criticizing someone for changing their mind in personal matters that in no way affect anyone else….weird.

  40. lucky star says:

    Then, why did she marry a man who CLEARLY wanted a litter of kiddies?
    Many of us don’t believe Aniston ever wanted kids that badly, and she is only stuck with saying she wants them now, because she would be seen as a total hypocrite. She basically doesn’t want to look bad, etc. Nothing wrong with wanting kids or not; that’s not really the issue at all. I just feel that she’s dishonest and probably a faker. Now, I don’t know her personally, but that’s my perception of the whole situation.

  41. whatever says:

    Poor hashbrowns. Thank God, I’ve Never felt the need to defend Jennifer Aniston. That would take an entire lifetime. Aniston seems nutty & neuroticc.

  42. HashBrowns says:

    Look, I’ll defend anyone who I feel is getting the sh*t end of the stick for no real reason. And I hate it when people are accused of being dishonest when they aren’t. I had to deal with this type of thing with one of my students being bullied and this reminds me of that exact situation.

    @luckystar: She doesn’t seem to have ever been dishonest about her marriage or wanting kids. You don’t know her personally so you have no idea what was really going on between her and Brad. I don’t know either so all I can go on are her statements to the media. To me, her statements indicate that she changes her mind a lot. And there is nothing wrong with that.

    And not to mention, there are tons of celebrities who have a “media persona” so that they can protect their real personalities and who they really are. You may call it being a “faker” but to them it’s a way of protecting their privacy and not sharing the “real” them with the world.

    I don’t know if she does that or not though, but perhaps that is what you are picking up on.

    I recall reading a comment on some site about her where someone said something to the effect of: it’s like picking on the boring girl in class just because she’s boring.

    She does absolutely nothing that is even remotely weird or off or strange so you attack her for merely being boring. When that gets used up, you go for the one thing that is “odd” about her and that is that she seems to change her mind about things happening in her personal life. Which is yet another boring thing.

    It’s an odd bullying tactic, but I see it in my classroom and it disgusts me, to be honest. And here I see supposed “adults” doing it and it’s just odd.

  43. Andrew says:

    She’ll have fun but he won’t so he’ll drop her off like every man that once he gets to know her realizes there’s nothing under the skin.

  44. JaundiceMachine says:

    Aniston, I drink your milkshake!
    I didn’t read too much beyond this line. Love it!

  45. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    @hashbrowns – you rock.

    Upgrade Jen, nice move!

  46. lucky star says:

    “Shit end of the stick for no reason”? OMG seriously. The girl is such a media hog with her endless paparazzi, look at me pics, pda with Mayer, nude pics to promote a family movie?, all her interviews, magazine covers. I don’t subscribe to the Aniston-innocent-victim-bs that her fans want people to believe. She pays big bucks to the best PR team in town to keep her in the presses. She’s in the tabloids because she wants it that way. Showing up at the Oscars w/ mayer was proof positive to me that she uses her relationships to fuel her career.

    And, making her detractors out to be bullies is really sad on your part. Bullying is about power and intimidation. Anonymous nobodies on the internet have no power or ability to intimidate others. There’s no “bullying” in not liking an actress. The comparison just doesn’t make sense.

    And, Aniston is no innocent child. She lives off the media perception of her. She’s a 40 yr. old woman who plots to keep herself in the limelight like other stars. It’s my right to like/not like them, too. I can’t stand Gwyneth/Angelina because I think they both seem smug. I may be wrong about that, but that’s my feelings.

  47. vee says:

    “She does absolutely nothing that is even remotely weird or off or strange” What!? She dated John Mayer! That’s all kinds of strange. So, if she was weird or strange, then it’s ok to make fun of her? Isn’t that what bullies do? I don’t think you can compare innocent little kids bullied in your school to a 40 years old media-savy actress, currently sitting on a 100 million fortune in her 15 million dollar house high up in Beverly Hills with mega body guards, servants, personal trainers, hairdressers on call, and adoring fans like yourself. I’m sure she gives two shits about lame-o people on the internet as she’s counting up her mega fortune.

  48. CB Rawks says:

    “Anonymous nobodies on the internet have no power or ability to intimidate others.”

    That’s not true and you must surely know it.
    The internet is actually the perfect place for gutless bullies to attack from. It’s well known as a way to start nasty rumours and destroy reputations. Schoolkids do it and sadly so do supposed *adults*.
    And people can gang up on others and run them out of places online. I for one used to read a fun website that reviewed movies, until it was taken over by creeps, then it was no fun to read there anymore.

  49. becca says:

    lucky star: Gwyneth doesn’t seem smug. She IS smug. She’s smug and a pretentious little you-know-what. I mean GOOP? Seriously?

    Anyway, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that this turned into a I love/hate Jennifer Aniston catfight. My only issue with her is that she’s making WAY too much money as a subpar actress. But then again, many of those Hollywood people are.

    Bottom line is, I have a very strong feeling this is fake, since InTouch made an epic fail when reporting about Butler: HE DOESN’T DRINK.

  50. ok says:

    CB Rawkes, no one here behaves like that. We are tame compared to US Weekly, Perez, Dlisted and other nastier sites. People there curse at each other, but it never stops anyone from posting if they want. I’m curious as to what movie site you are talking about? I go to rotten tomatoes and a few others, and most people are tame.

    And, lucky star was talking about people bullying Jennifer Aniston. I mean a big-time actress being “bullied” by people on the internet is really ridiculous. Just because some people are not fans, doesn’t make them bullies.
    I don’t agree with the people calling her nasty names, but lucky star called her “fake and dishonest.” That’s not bullying in the least. It’s someone’s opinions based on how they interpret her behavior. We do that to all the stars, basically.

  51. ok says:

    Oops, I almost forgot. I don’t think Butler would date Aniston. He seems like a womanizer type who only dates models, like Leonardo Di Capprio. Aniston should avoid. He’s probably not worth the heartache.

  52. AG says:

    i agree becca. When it comes to Aniston, never has so much been made over so little. I don’t get it.

  53. Rosalee says:

    Hashbrowns – you got it.
    Too bad so many others miss the obvious, Jennifer Aniston is a breathing living human being, she does not owe anyone on this site or other sites an explaination or apology for her choices. It is deplorable that so many you post comments bashing her it appears many of you take these posting personally and become so enraged with a person none of you know or will ever know.

  54. shawnamarieanne says:

    The only way a blogger can bully Jen is if jen is dumb enough to read the stuff that’s written about her and take it seriously.

    Of course a young teenager may be subject to bullying, but not someone like Jennifer.

  55. Sam says:

    @Lady Death

    Are you saying Butler is not into women?
    Where have you got that from?

  56. HashBrowns says:

    I said that picking on someone for being boring was a bullying tactic, and it is. For all intents and purposes, we can say whatever we like about celebrities as we have freedom of speech and of the press and our opinions are just that: opinions.

    I just feel that Celebitchy is NOT like some other sites that are purely “I’m going to be a jerk because I can” sites. It’s called Celebitchy but it isn’t a bunch of immature rantings about celebrities that the writers dislike. It’s actually pretty much a celebrity news site with some writer commentary which is either funny or somewhat neutral. And I like that about this site.

    If you want to rant about a celebrity you don’t like, do it on the sites where it’ll be appreciated and welcomed. I’ve been reading this site for awhile now and the only real hatred from people I’ve seen is on either side of the Jennifer Aniston-Brangelina Trifecta of Stupid. Why is that?

  57. PJ says:

    Bravo, HashBrowns! Thanks for your insightful comments and ideas.

    As you said, it’s easy to be a bully when you’re on the Internet, not face to face with a real person. On the JustJared site, which is famous for its Brangeloonies, I once made a neutral-to-positive comment about Jennifer Aniston and several other posters called me names and ordered me to get off the site and never come back.

    I’ve always liked JA but found myself starting to defend her because so many people were attacking her in a manner that was way out of proportion to anything she’d said or done. It’s disturbing that a well-behaved person who has never done anything controversial is the subject of so much venom. I think it’s coming from Angelina fans who see JA as a threat to their fantasy of Brad & Angie.

  58. Jeanette says:

    Cant a girl just get it on with a hot guy-perhaps to wash the skeezy mayerness off of her without it being her next great heartbreak??? Why cant she just be out to have a little fun???

  59. pumak says:

    shes gorgeous!! a definite upgrade not only from mayer but from pitt too!!!
