Nice to hear that he bought a house in Shreveport. He must know that he will be working there a lot . I think it will be a much needed breathe of fresh air from LA. Sounds like the locals pretty much respect his privacy and the paps don't follow him everywhere. Plus he seems to invest in proprieties and I am sure a house on the lake will be a nice addition to his portfolio.

Dianne thanks sweetie for sharing. I'm glad you had fun. I love your hair sweetie that's one of the things about you I adore, when I saw it I knew you were going to be fun. Whoever doesn't like it must be really dull. I love the wee bandana you got for his 'love of his life' she looks to be a wee darling. Speaking of darlings your wee girl is some much like you. I'm glad you both had a good time. Oh and although I miss his long hair Gerry looks grand too. Thanks again sweetie.

Paisley, he smalls clean and he hugs really tight. He is just a lovable guy. Maggie has a right to be proud of her boy.
Also the Soccerball is one of the charity things, I will post the pictures of the charity items in the next day or so. One is the whistle he blew in and it hung around his neck in playing the field.... Playing For Keeps. I have been very careful not to contaminate that whistle with any pf my DNA. Gerry's dry spit likely lingers inside of it soooooooo... if any of you have a working knowledge of science, all you'd need is a healthy ovum and you could make your own Gerard Butler!
PS: Got that joke from The Big Bang Theory.
OMG!!! I remembered something else. I can't find the picture but it was one of them I took when I was in Detroit while filming MGP. He was standing, talking to fans and he saw the picture I took when he was leaning with his arm on a table. The muscle in the back of his arm by his arm pit was bulging. He stops and points at the picture.
"Wow, I didn't know that my arms looked that good in that movie..." I loved that comment! He is such a normal guy.

Heathly ovum, no problem. Mad scientist with the necessary equipment may be bit hard to come by... Did you get a signed napkin too? (love The Big Bang Theory...)

oh my God, dianne. i can't stop smiling. sincerely. i've been packing, moving,scouting, finishing up college, running around with a teen, yedda yedda, very distracted/busy .....oh yeah, enduring the heat blast upstate new york...but, lo & behold what do i catch last week...you're heading to shreveport? NOW today, i take a quick gander on facebook and HO!...oh my loving God...YOU with GErRY?! it was so nice that you & daughter had some time with little lolita? that was very sweet gesture of gifting scarf for little poochie! verra fun to read all about your adventures here. gerry is awesome guy, all around! so proud girl. you did 'it'! cant wait to hear more about the campaign for Kids Kicking Cancer. so awesome!! ((as an aside, your comments re: 'parasites surrounding' gerry sounds rather nasty for sure. I HOPE that if there are any leeches attempting to suck-up, saddle-up, latch-on and hitch-a -ride....they'll go piss off and take a leap off the deep end sooner than later. but, y'know in entertainment business when you get to a certain level of fame there's probably are plenty of lost souls who want to 'covet' whatever shine they can glean. meanwhile, i 'm sure you conveyed to gerry that even though we're fans - yes, but also friends to gerry

Hi, I'm not going to go into the details yet because I'm on my phone, but will tell you a little. First of all about my hair style if a regular person can have a trademark mine is my hair. It totally fits my personality and has become as important to me s one of my hands it has become my identity. Everywhere I go I get at least one compliment, usually from gay men. Some women love it some women dont like it but people who know me can all agree it suits my personality. I like to stand out in a crowd and I really don't give a flying fart about those who don't like it. Straight men usually like it but more than not they tease me about it. This was the case with Gerry. & soon as I walked into his trailer I said, I don't know if you remember mre but.... He stopped me right there and said, How could I forget you with THAT hair! Dianne I can’t get over your beautiful adventure. I knew he would remember you. I heard he has an impeccable memory. I heard from a fan that met him once that he remembered her 3 years later. He remembered when he met her for the first time. That is absolutely incredible given the number of people he meets a week let alone a year. Also, your hair is definitely memorable. I think it suits you perfectly. I don’t know you in person but just from reading your stuff I get a sense of the type of wonderful woman you are, and that hair matches your bubbliness. I am also assuming he remembered you working on MGP and that you are the inventor of WO GB fan site because of that hair. Millennium and he wanted you to have his memorabilia so that you can auction it for charity and help needy children. I think he knew you would carry it out faithfully and that’s why you got the chance to do it. DO NOT get upset by the snarky comments on JJ. These are very unhappy people who are upset they don’t have the same opportunity as you. Well, by the way they have been badmouthing him, I don’t think he would ever want to meet anyone form JJ. You have been nothing but respectful to him, and you didn’t push him too much which I am sure he appreciated. You and your beautiful daughter will have more opportunities in the future to meet him again because of your considerate nature. Three things I wanted to ask you. 1) Did he smell good? Like what sent was it? 2) Is he really 6-2, or is he actually a bit shorter or a bit taller in person? What do you think? 3) You know what it is. It’s on everyone’s mind. Did you see any evidence in his trailer or elsewhere in the vicinity there is a guest there? Soooo curious. lol.

Regarding Gerry's height, Dianne is a fairly tall lady. So Gerry being still a lot taller than her... More proof he really is about 6' 2".

Ladies I'm still speechless. This whole "Dianne-meeting-Gerry" experience has me truly at a loss for words. It was such a wonderful thing for him to do that I feel I need to be as respectful as possible for a while. I don't want to tread on hallowed ground with nasty thoughts. Or mess up a wonderful experience with trashy language.
Okay ...time's up ... back to perverted and proud. Gerry is WAAAAAY TOOOO LICKABLE in those pictures from Dianne's visit. And from her description ... hugging tight ... smelling good ... oh dayum ... makes me feel like I was right there with her and Callie.
Dianne must still be shaking and trembling ... and floating on Cloud Nine. I know I am!!!!!

Gerry is the only actor I have seen in person who looks taller in person rather than shorter. The screen [even the stage] makes you look larger than life that is why actresses fret about their weight and such. The camera adds 10 pounds and apparently a couple of inches in height if you are a man. I realize now that most of the time the actors are short and the actresses are even shorter, in part because they don't want taller women than the male lead etc. Signourney Weaver is very tall and it is a testament to her talent that she has succeeded as she has. A lot of the guys in rock bands - even if you've had front row seats to a concert when you see them standing beside you you are like wow short or what.
