Gerald Butler Flashes Butt on The Bounty Hunter Set


Gerard Butler used to flash his butt on the set of ‘The Bounty Hunter’.

The Scottish actor was a big practical joker while shooting the movie, in which he co-stars with Jennifer Aniston, and used to amuse the crew by baring his behind.

In a joint interview with ‘Access Hollywood’, Jennifer said, “You would moon the crew walking by the wardrobe trailer. That’s how close our family got!”

Gerard then admitted, “Well, I like to moon.”

During filming, Gerard, who has been romantically linked to his stunning co-star, admits he spent a lot of time in Jennifer’s trailer because it was so much fun in there.

He said, “Jen has a great team of people around her and I had more fun hanging out at their trailer than I did in my own.”

Jennifer, who has insisted her relationship with the heartthrob is purely platonic, enjoyed every moment of filming because Gerard is so funny.

“It was constant, constant laughter! Other past co-stars get grumpy and go to their trailer.”

Jennifer and Gerard, 40, became so close during filming, he even organized her 41st birthday trip to Mexico last month.

She explained, “He said to me, ‘You come to Mexico all the time and Mexico is really hurting right now because of the swine flu and the drug trafficking and all of this sort of stuff but it’s not all of Mexico.’

“These people survive on us coming down and spending money and coming here to these beautiful places. It sort of made sense to say, ‘Hey, let’s help out Mexico.’ Let’s shout out to these kids in Tijuana at El Faro and have a good time. That’s sort of our birthday celebration this year.”



Anne Hathaway To Adopt Dog


Anne Hathaway is adopting another dog.

The ‘Alice in Wonderland’ actress, who already has a much-loved chocolate Labrador called Esmeralda, went to Molly’s Mutts and Meows volunteer animal rescue center in West Hollywood on Saturday, March 13, with her partner Adam Schulman where they were seen looking at a number of mutts, including a medium-sized terrier mix named Chuck.

A source revealed, “She said she had one dog and was looking to adopt a second one. Most of the conversation was about Chuck, and whether he’s good with other dogs, house-trained, mellow, things like that.”

The 27-year-old star, who has been dating Adam since November 2008, took down information regarding the purchase of Chuck before leaving, and seemed keen on giving the pooch a home.

The rescue center has refused to comment or confirm the adoption of Chuck.

Anne has previously credited Esmeralda for helping her land the part of classic English novelist Jane Austen in ‘Becoming Jane’, because she hardly slept a wink the night before her audition because her dog was so ill.

She said, “I slept maybe an hour. When I arrived at the interview, I was tired and wasn’t in a very good mood. I guess Julian Jarrold realized that I wasn’t the bright, happy, smiley, untroubled girl from ‘The Princess Diaries’. He offered me the role after that.”



Tiger Woods To Make Golf Comeback At The Masters

Five months after his infamous “car crash” outside his home and the stories that broke after that (you all know the ehmm details), Tiger Woods is again ready to swing the club. Tiger Woods will tee of at Augusta National in Florida on April 8.

Many people have speculated when he will return, some though it would be next week at the Tavistock Cup or Arnold Palmer Invitational, but in a statement Woods has confirmed his comeback will be at The Masters.

“When I finally got into a position to think about competitive golf again, it became apparent to me that The Masters would be the earliest I could play,” said Woods in a statement. “I called both Joe Lewis and Arnold Palmer and expressed my regrets for not attending the Tavistock Cup (next Monday and Tuesday) and the Arnold Palmer Invitational (from March 25-28).

“I again want to thank them both for their support and their understanding. Those are fantastic tournaments and I look forward to competing in them again.

“I would also like to thank the Augusta National members and staff for their support. I have deep appreciation for everything that they do to create a wonderful event for the benefit of the game.”

Of course the good people at Augusta weren’t late to release a statement as well. (This will probably break all visitor records). The Augusta chaiman says: “We support Tiger’s decision to return to competitive golf beginning at this year’s Masters tournament.”

“Additionally, we support and encourage his stated commitment to continue the significant work required to rebuild his personal and professional life.”

Best of luck Tiger and to the guys playing against him at The Masters. He won’t win the tournament, but he’ll make an impact.

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes Trial Separation


Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes had a trial separation last year.

The couple, who announced yesterday, March 15, that their six-year marriage is over, reportedly split up while working together on ‘Revolutionary Road’ with Leonardo DiCaprio last year, but reconciled after realizing they were unhappy apart.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Working and living together was incredibly intense and basically overwhelmed their relationship.

“The pair have a very different work ethos, Sam wanted to switch off after a long day and Kate liked to analyze every nuance of her performance. It was just too much.”

After filming ended, Sam flew out to Florida to work on new movie ‘Away We Go’ but, despite their troubles, the couple – who raise two children together, son Joe, six, and Kate’s daughter Mia, nine, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton – struggled to cope with being apart and pledged to spend more time together.

The source added, “After being in each other’s pockets for so long, this, ironically, also proved really difficult.

“So last year they both made a commitment to spend the year together and do less work. But it actually ended up with them going a bit stir crazy.

“They are both really driven and were arguing more than ever before. Kate even did a really small amount of filming to try and ease the pressure and tension that had built up but they had a series of rows over projects this year and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

Despite only confirming their separation yesterday, March 15, rumors have surfaced that there were cracks in their marriage since January, which have been denied.

However, friends of the 34-year-old actress have revealed she and her 44-year-old spouse have been living apart for some time.

One pal said, “They have been living separately for a while. There had been some huge rows behind closed doors before they decided to formally separate.”

The couple, who have not been seen together in public since last June, are hoping to keep their split amicable and are keen to avoid a court battle over custody of Joe and the splitting of their assets.

A source said, “Kate is devastated. She thought their marriage was forever.”



Alex Reid Wants Gerald Butler To Play Him On The Big Screen


Alex Reid wants Gerard Butler to play him in film about his wife Katie Price’s life.

The cage-fighter thinks his spouse’s experiences would make a great “story” and has already decided he wants the ‘Bounty Hunter’ star to portray him, but only if he works hard in the gym.

Alex said, “It has been reported Katie is going to do a film about her life. I think it’s a brilliant idea – her life makes a great story.

“There’s nothing definite on the table. If I could choose anyone to play my character I’d pick Gerard Butler – only when he’s pumped up though.”

While Alex, who married Katie in a surprise low-key Las Vegas ceremony last month, wants Gerard to play him, he would still like to make some sort of appearance in the movie.

He added in his column for Britain’s Star magazine, “Perhaps Katie and I can have cameo roles instead? We could be journalists!”

Alex is currently in Los Angeles preparing for a mixed martial arts fight and is finding being away from his wife difficult, though he was cheered when she made a brief visit last week and they went on a shopping spree to a lingerie store.

He said, “We went to Trashy Lingerie in Los Angeles last week, a shop I love! Katie only bought some lingerie and a few wigs. No whips or handcuffs, even though I wanted to!

“Unfortunately she had to go back home ahead of me. It was hard to say goodbye again. We seem to be permanently in this cycle right now.”



Peter Andre Scared of Woman


Peter Andre is scared to look at women.

The ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer is reluctant to get romantically involved with anyone since glamourr model Maddy Ford went public about their fling, which began just eight days after his divorce form ex-wife Katie Price was finalized.

He said, “Maddy Ford sold her story again last week, but I haven’t read it. I’m not interested in anything she has to say and don’t even want to give her the publicity by talking about her. I want to draw a line under the whole thing.

“I tell you what, though, I’m scared to even so much as look at a woman these days! I feel like I’ve had my fingers burned there. I’m the luckiest man in the world in terms of my career and my fans, but when you’re in the public eye, you really have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes.”

Peter says he is putting all his attention and efforts into his career and his two children with Katie, Junior, four, and Princess Tiaamii, two.

He wrote in his column for new! magazine, “I’ve got the kids for a whole week again next week and I can’t wait. I’ve got into the habit of getting into bed with Junior when I get back from my gigs so that when he wakes up I’m there. He loves it, bless him. We get to spend loads of time together before he goes off to school, and then Princess and I have the whole day together. I think it’s so important for kids to have one-on-one time with their parents, as well as spending time together as a family.”



Gisele Bundchen Changed By Son


Gisele Bundchen has “changed” since having her first child.

The 29-year-old model had baby Benjamin, her first child with husband Tom Brady, in November 2009, and admits she found it hard to get back to work.

She said, “I got to the studio and I felt like I was E.T. – whoa, what’s going on? Hair and makeup?

“I’d been in my house, in a cocoon with my kids, my husband, my dogs. Usually, as I walk through the door into that atmosphere, I already feel different. There’s a button that goes On and I’m On.

“This time it wasn’t like that. I’ve been really inside with my husband and my baby, and everything is changed. But the client still deserves respect and professionalism, and I got a little bit concerned because I wasn’t feeling it.”

However, the Brazilian-born beauty claims she did look after her body while she was pregnant.

She said to Vogue magazine, “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week.

“I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.”



Jessica Simpson Embarrased by John Mayer


Jessica Simpson has been left “embarrassed” after John Mayer said she was “sexual napalm” in bed.

The 29-year-old singer and actress admits the situation left her questioning why men were looking at her when she was out and about.

She said, “My phone has been ringing. It’s more embarrassing. I’ll walk into a restaurant or something. I’ll walk and feel like men are looking at me – but I feel like they’re undressing me.”

Jessica also claims she thinks 32-year-old Mayer was “stupid” to break up with her in 2007.

Speaking on US TV programme ‘The View’, she said, “He did apologize, but I mean, at this point it doesn’t really matter. I mean, I only thought he was stupid for breaking up with me.”

Earlier this month Jessica admitted she would always care for the ‘Gravity’ singer, despite his comments to Playboy magazine.

She said, “I will always care about him. I think he’s a great person, a great musician, but I was very disappointed by the article.”



Ben Stiller’s Successful Relationship


Ben Stiller claims laughter is the best way to a successful relationship.

The 44-year-old actor admits his relationship with wife of nine years Christine Taylor works because the pair share a sense of humor.

He said, “For me, laughter is such a huge part of a relationship. My wife has a great sense of humor. What I like is to try to make her laugh.

“Sometimes she laughs at things that I take too seriously, which I find helpful in keeping me grounded. I used to be a workaholic, but now I’m happy at home. For the first time I’m beginning to feel grown up.”

Ben also admits the follow-up to comedy movie ‘Zoolander’ has been worked on for some time because he wants to make sure the sequel is as funny as the first film.

According to Parade.com, he said, “We’ve been working on it on and off over the last six or seven years. The biggest hurdle for me personally was that Drake Sather, who created the character, passed away. He was a good friend and the lump for me was it’s hard to imagine doing it without him.

“Now my buddy, Justin Thoreau, has committed to directing and writing it. So I’m excited and I think it’s going to happen. I want to be able to do something that lives up to the first one. That’s the challenge.”
