--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerry's interview on The Today Show this morning was very good. I had to force myself to watch The Today Show, as I am a GMA junkie, but I made it up to and through his portion, which came around 8:45. He was gorgeous in a bluish-gray suit (hard to tell if it had blue in it, but I think it may have had), a white shirt and gorgeous tie. Matt Lauer interviewed him, and I was glad for that, as I was afraid that Kathy Lee and Hoda would get hold of him and if they had, they would have put him on all kinds of spots personally. Matt did not ask any personal questions at all. It was all about the movie. The only disturbing thing about the interview was Matt asked him what he had coming up next? Gerry said that he didn't have anything coming up, that he was going to take some time off. So, by that, I guess Thunder Run is either not going to happen, or maybe Gerry is not attached to that one anymore.
Then they had a pie eating/identifying contest, and Gerry took part in that, which was really funny. They had the panel, which included Gerry blindfolded, and they had to identify these weird and strange pies that had been made. One was mac and cheese with bacon, one was made with Reeses pieces and one with strawberries and some summer vegetable, that I couldn't catch the name of. Gerry frowned really bad on the second one, was not sure on the other two, but he was cute doing it.
All in all, it was a good show with him and he did very well. I'm sure someone will have recorded it, or it will be on the FB page or Twitter to download and watch. YouTube as well maybe. I just hope the Letterman interview goes as well.

todayentertainment.today.com/_news/2013/03/14/17310122-gerard-butler-friends-say-my-american-accent-makes-me-sound-like-an-idiot?liteSlipping into an American accent may be second nature now for Scotland-born Gerard Butler, but it "didn't come easy," he told TODAY's Matt Lauer Thursday. The star of the new film "Olympus Has Fallen" puts on that foreign accent for his new role, saying he only was able to master sounding like he was from the U.S. after "about 1,000 dialect sessions." "There came a point when I realized I have to just walk around speaking like an American, and my friends would be like, 'You sound like an idiot.' I said, 'It doesn't matter.'" But when Butler returns home, it just takes one quick stop at the coffee shop to restore his home-grown Scottish burr (one Lauer called "gorgeous"): "I always go to the Starbucks at the Glasgow airport and say, 'I'll have a cafe latte, please' to kind of click me back into that thick Scottish accent," he grinned. "Olympus" is no laughing matter, however: It's about how Butler's character and his team try to save the president of the United States after he is taken hostage. "It's very provocative," he said. "We live with this threat of terrorism, what it would look like.... What we really wanted to do was get the substance and meaning and humanize it." Later, things took on a lighter tone when Butler joined the TODAY anchors for a blindfolded pie tasting session (to time out with "Pi" day on March 14), not that he got to do much talking at all -- everyone kept announcing what the secret pie was before he could guess! Fortunately, there's always his day job to fall back on. "Olympus Has Fallen" opens in theaters March 22.

bites.today.com/_news/2013/03/14/17311833-going-in-blind-gerard-butler-doubles-as-pie-tester?liteWhen actor Gerard Butler sat down Thursday morning to talk with Matt about his new movie, "Olympus Has Fallen," chances are he didn't think he'd be wearing a blindfold moments later. No, it wasn't at the request of Savannah Guthrie, who admits to a bit of a crush on the actor. It was actually because Butler agreed to serve as a blind taste-tester for a set of peculiar pies. BuzzFeed's Emily Fleischaker created the unique recipes in honor of Pi Day, which celebrates the mathematical constant pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. (Thursday was March 14 -- 3-14 -- and pi rounded off to two decimals is 3.14.) The pies had everything from bacon and mac n' cheese to candy bar ingredients. The TODAY taste testers' challenge: to guess which flavors they were eating. Butler was more than willing to get in on the tasting action, and just minutes after his interview, he was blindfolded and ready for his first bite. TODAY "The first one I was actually pretty convinced was rat poison," Butler told TODAY.com. However, on the second pie, he correctly guessed the ingredients: chocolate and peanut butter. The last one ... I thought I had an inspired guess, which was pineapple, but they said strawberry, so I felt like an idiot," Butler said. "But Tamron thought it was lettuce, which definitely mitigated my embarrassment." Al had a few bites of the quirky pies, too. It seemed the dizzying array of flavors may have left him a bit... disoriented.

Did I miss something on the Today Show? On the Russian site they have pictures of Gerry with Hoda and Kathy Lee and I did not see that? Also, Zhanna had a picture of Gerry in flight, does anyone know if he was coming or going?

I did not see him with Hoda and Kathy Lee either, it was not announced that he would be there for their segment. Wonder why? I can imagine what went on with Kathy Lee, she would really put him on the spot. Guess he talked about the movie with Matt and his personal life with Hoda and Kathy Lee. If anyone has that segment, hopefully they will put it up.

I saw it too. Poor Gerry saw all those beautiful pies and they gave him crap to eat. Was he on Hoda and Kathy? Turned off Today after his segment not a fan of Today. JMO, but he said that he was taking time off. If this movie is the hit it seems to be and he is talking to big exec in the movie busniess as reported he maybe waiting for something better to come along. Thunder Run is OK if there is nothing else, but it has been done already. Maybe there is something in the pipe line. Doesn't it take a while from story to script? I am glad he spoke about MG in the Howard Stern interview. Looks like she is not the dumb bunny people think. I don't think he would fall for someone stupid. I personally thought it was strange that she was on top of a elephant in Thailand alone. Maybe that is the time there was a break. He did mentioned there were a couple of riffs in their relationship. Are we still not mentioning her I don't know where we stand on that subject. Think she is part of his life and should not be ignored. If I was not suppose to mention her sorry. Looks like our guy is on his way. I hope so and wish him the best. Can't wait to see the movie and told everyone I know how I am going to the movie on Fri to see it. Had wrong week that how much I can't wait.

What I wore TODAY: Gerard Butler Stylish guests are sharing their outfit inspiration for a new series, What I wore TODAY. Gerard Butler may have played a tough and rugged secret service agent in his new movie "Olympus Has Fallen," but he certainly cleaned up well for TODAY Thursday morning. While he was still sporting his trademark stubble, Butler's tailored suit and slim tie allowed for a classic look. Do you like a cleaned up Gerard Butler? Here's what he was wearing: •Z Zegna suit •Roger Dubuis watch •Lanvin shoes •Jil Sander tie Butler, who is a spokesperson for watch brand Roger DuBois, said he had the opportunity to see the process that goes into making the watches when he visited the company's headquarters in Geneva. "I went in and actually worked there one day and learned how they carve things down to like a thousandth of a millimeter as they carve out each piece," Butler told TODAY.com. "So when I look at the time, I appreciate it now." Butler said the Lanvins are his go-to shoes. "These are my favorite shoes, by the way. Look at them, they're just so classic," he explained. Butler said he enjoys incorporating multiple brands into his wardrobe, rather than committing to just a few. "(My outfit) is a bit of a mix," Butler said. "I'm a bit of a hybrid today. I feel stylin'."  |

Had wrong week that how much I can't wait. LOL todays my day with gerry fandom ! xoxo i do not believe the segement with kathy & hooda & gerry was aired. how did someone here at wogb see there was a meeting between the three? just curious. esp. if it did not air. hmmm. anyway, i could take a good guess why it may NOT have...kathy & hooda are hysterical together. very funny girls, very entertainining LOL BUT....kathy, dear kathy, as we are all aware sometimes catches a wee bit too much vino (as does hooda ~ ; ) plus gets that odd ball virus....footinmouth disease. yep...can you imagine honest abe gerry and inquisitive kathy yaking it up? LOL but maybe kathy & gerry would indeed have a good interview on air.... and florida, i hear you. i know we're not publicity writing about gerry's personal love affair and all. i do agree we are a gerry fanspot and this is part of his life but sometimes some ladies have a lot of angst considering his personal life. so..out of sight ~ out of mind. its healthier. |

If she is in the picture fine or mentioned in a interview but drop the rest. I have to agree too many conflicting opinions. I, myself, am still laughing at the fact after 10 months of dating, he is only in "deep like"! What a joke! |

G's TS's appearance was great. I love seeing him look so handsome and sexy. I think the pie part was funny. It sure didn't appeal to him - feeding some odd pie. He loves his sweets. Sorry he was disappointed. I would have taken a pie if I was him that tasted good and left. LOL. I love seeing him.

Janet, I read and understood it. Don't agree about not mentioning her, though. What I personally was objecting to was all the negative & yes, hateful stuff said about her. But that's just me! Anyway you are right it is Gerry's site. However if he mentions her in an interview that we are discussing then what?
"deep like" that's an interesting way to say he has feelings for her. I truly believe that "I love her/you" who ever she is, will be a hard thing for him to own up to until he is really, really, really sure. I bet money when he does say it. it won't be on national TV. However with the way his unfiltered mouth works there is no telling what he will say. LOL!

I have been a fan for 13 years and I have heard him say about past girlfriends that it was great to be in love. With all the personal stuff he said about her especially the part about them not having sex the first night, I don't know why he would be shy about that. I don't know her so I can't say I don't like her but she sure gives me a bad vibe! |
