I just read another story about Gerry and Jen supposed romance and how awkward their chemistry was. To tell you the truth I wouldn't doubt if these two aren't really crazy about each other as friends either. I bet they are on an "Oh hi..." relationship.... they see each other and they have to say a few words and its awkward and its like ok I did my duty. As charming as we think Gerry is somewhere out there there is a personality type he clashes with and he may have found it in Jen. To tell you the truth I saw a pic with him and Jen Garner and although that Jen is married you could picture J Garner and Gerry having more in common. I think Jen would be to high maintenance and I can't see him with that type of woman.

Chemistry is an odd thing, David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson did not like each other at all and yet they had something on screen. So who knows? The folks who don't like JA are claiming no chemistry while those who do are claiming they have it. For the record I think Gerry likes her fine, that doesn't mean he wants to bed her or wed her. And the same for her.I didn't get the feeling he was faking anything, he's been as pleasant and affectionate with her as he was with his other female costars like Katherine Heigl or Hillary Swank. But they don't have the baggage that JA has, nor are their motives endlessly questioned or analyzed by the press and blogs in the way JA is. All this by virtue the fact she had a high profile divorce that has forever branded her and clings to her image.
And they have no choice but to promote this film. And they have both denied being involved with one another. The smartest thing that both Gerry and Jennifer can do is take a page from George Clooney and refuse to discuss or comment on their personal lives. Just let the gossip ebb and flow. After a while the fact they are not together except for promotional reasons will put a stop to all of it.

JA is the kiss of death for movies!!! Has she really ever had one that did well? Marly was ok. There are for her some die hard she is a fox fans but she really lacks talent and dosen't come across on film well. I wonder why G even agreed to the Bounty.

A paycheck!! Sometimes actors work for money too! It may of been the best offer on the table for him at that time. I doubt he passed up Avatar to do The Bounty Hunter. The worse movie so far of Gerry's' is Gamer- that blew big time. And I'm not adding the DVD to my collection. Maybe Bounty Hunter will suck too. Or maybe not. I think I will actually go see the movie before I make up my mind on that. I'm not crazy about JA or her rival Ms Jolie-Pitt, but sometimes I will watch their movies if I'm interested in the other actors or the director.

I am intrigued though that people who are into that whole world of gaming seem to love that movie Gamer anyway - I have a feeling it was always going to appeal to a certain niche and let's face it, it's not necessarily Gerry's usual demographic, the gamers are going to be mostly guys in their teens and early twenties who are likely not 300 fans so in a way if he can bring those fans along to the next action movie or somethink like Machine Gun Preacher, maybe it was worth the risk. The problem however is this is the same group of kids who don't pay for anything, they burned and download everything so the movie was likely never going to make a huge amout of money but be curious to see how it does in rentals and sales.....

Very true sophiero, on screen chemistry is a very different beast than actual. Sometimes that love-hate thing can burn hot. How many times do we found years later that people who had great chemistry on a TV show or in a movie hated each other but we would never had known unless someone spilled the beans later. Other times though you can tell. I always analyse the kiss. It's hard to kiss someone you hate or worse despise or are repulsed by unless you are a porn star or really good actor/actress. You always hear stories that when the actors hate each other they will purposely make sure they have foul breath for the love scenes.
If you believe the goss from Ted Casablanca and I think Lainey and a few others back him up, Jennifer Garner is apparently uh not the nicest person to actually work with, which is very contrary to her public persona, and there are rumblings about trouble between her and Ben, which as we know from seeing what goes on in Gerry's world, may not be true, but I would not put it past Jennifer to just make sure there were some great shots of her and Gerard together just to piss Ben off. I wonder where he was - looking after the kids, shooting a movie.
Now I could be completely wrong but poor Gerard, just being passed around like a boy toy. Do these women have no respect. Maria and Shawn fighting over him, I saw a picture and I think Courtney Cox Arquette had to check out the abs herself, it's OK David was there, Niecy Nash just drooling all over him, does it never end? Oh like he would want it to!!!!!!!!

This is funny - I am a fan of reading body language, I think I am pretty good at it myself and love the show with Tim Roth Lie to Me where he plays an expert in telling whether people are lying based on a real life expert so someone had an expert analyse the Jen-Ger press photos from GG But it wasn't just at the awards show that Aniston attempted to appear extra cozy with the actor. Paparazzi photos taken during their film shoot showed the actress snuggled constantly with him, while Butler looked like he was just being an affectionate gentleman.*
Body language expert Dr. Lilian Glass told Hollywoodlife.com that the co-stars not only lacked physical chemistry, they also appeared exactly how Aniston and ex-husband Brad Pitt did in 2005, just before they divorced.
She said, "The photos are identical. It was [Aniston and Pitt's] last chance before Angelina Jolie, and it's the exact same story playing it out again. [Butler] is not physically or emotionally attracted."
"[Aniston] is very needy, she's grabbing Gerard at the stomach," the expert, referring to their photo on set. "Not a lot of passion from his end. Gerard is not leaning into her, he's looking down. It's a bad sign that means you are not like minded, not in sync as a couple."
"She's leaning into him, but he's not leaning into her. It doesn't show a lot of sexual intimacy."Read more: www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7017574190?Jennifer%20Aniston%20Looking%20A%20Bit%20Desperate%20For%20Romance%20With%20Gerard%20Butler#ixzz0dB6iJBNc* I mean Gerry gives men bearhugs . I love the photos of him giving Robert Downey Jr a big old bear hug and apparently RDJ is a hugger because Jude Law was saying he was a bit thrown off at first at how much of a hugger RDJ is but he got used to it. I was watching video footage of Gerry arriving at the CAA party the night before the Globes at the Buffalo Club and he knew the bouncer or greeter and gave HIM a big old bear hug. I want a Gerbear Hug.. A paycheck!! Sometimes actors work for money too! It may of been the best offer on the table for him at that time. I doubt he passed up Avatar to do The Bounty Hunter. The worse movie so far of Gerry's' is Gamer- that blew big time. And I'm not adding the DVD to my collection. Maybe Bounty Hunter will suck too. Or maybe not. I think I will actually go see the movie before I make up my mind on that. I'm not crazy about JA or her rival Ms Jolie-Pitt, but sometimes I will watch their movies if I'm interested in the other actors or the director. The worst movies of his, for me, was Shooters, that one tanked IMHO. Gamer was okay, not great, but he looked damn hot in that film.

It's only a job and they're not even happy to do it, not at all ! They didn't seem to be into each other at all. Just to see them on the stage at the GG, when he was trying to start the presenting by saying that they were honored to be there, she was like: "Yep" The look he made after she said that...You could tell he was thinking:"thanks for making me look like an idiot." I will be happy when this movie comes out, mostly because Gerry's in it, and I think he is very good in Rom Coms, and I will definitely go see it, but also because we won't have to hear about them dating anymore. They are obviously doing it for the publicity, it's a job for them. But seriously though, as much as I like Gerry in comedies, I can't wait for him to move on to bigger and better things...Coriolanus, The Machine Gun Preacher, Burns...need I say more?

Gals, it's not the women we see him with that we should be worried about, it's the one's we DON'T see. Gerry always said he was rumored to be dating with these actresses and during that time he had managed to have two relationships that the paps (and fans) had no idea of. He's really good at keeping these things underwraps, the woman he dates will NOT be seen with him in the public eye, but behind the scenes.

Yeah I have read that and thought about hat but what kind of self respecting woman would be content constantly in the background? Shoot if I were DATING GB I would be hard press to not shout it from the roof top. But then again I am 7 almost 8 years older and fat well beyond fluffly. It sounds like a perpetual booty call? Doesn't sound much like a fulfilling relationship.

I don't see that. I would actually get the feeling he would be trying to protect her. The paps are jackals and if you don't have a pretty damn tough skin, they'll rip you to shreds. If I was his woman, I would understand his wishes to keep it under wraps. He deserves some privacy to enjoy those feelings and not bare them to the world. Now I will say, that if it was fairly serious, it would probably be quite difficult to keep people from finally figuring it out. You know how it is when you first get those lovey-dovey feelings -- you want to be with the other person 24/7/365. It will happen, but I hope he can hide it as long as possible. In my imagination, his flame (me ) has a unimportant job on the set, goes through the motions, but is always in the right place at the right time for a clandestine snog session. Because I'm just average looking, I can fly under the radar for a long time. You know how much fun "secret" sex would be?

You are a hoot Oakie!! you are average looking then I am butt ugly but then again I cropped my face into a Gerry pic and someone who shall remain nameless said Who is that she is Ugly I'd have a real chance. Yep it is posted in favorite picks.
Secret sex is exhilarating for sure. The dating days when hubby lived at home and I had a roomy. The places we found. But Damn having him around and not being able to reach out and touch him would kill me and he does seem to be a touchy feely fella despite What they say about Scorps and pda.

Much as I love Gerry, hiding the girlfriends is also very convenient - it does not therefore cramp his style. Protecting them is obstensibly noble and yet just about every other actor that is single and is not considered openly gay, and many are bigger names than Gerry, see George Clooney for example, have no problem being seen in public with their dates or girlfriends, famous and non-famous, and those women are subject to the same scrutiny if not more.
I suspect if there are "girlfriends" they are friends with benefits, limited term of engagement, who fully understand their role.
If and when he goes public with a girlfriend, then you know it's something he considers as serious. And more than just a date to one or two events though he hasn't even done that lately. Except his mom.
[Good lord according to Ted Casablanca, many of the closeted gay actors are out there with fake girlfriends and wives - now what kind of self respect do you have to date or worse marry a gay man and knowingly be his beard - the reasons stated are money, PR being associated with said actor and/or the women are also gay as well so it's a win win, and I suppose there may be some women who don't realize they are a beard, if the man is bisexual I guess - that is just about as sad to me as being the hidden girlfriend, and many of these closeted gay actors are not being discreet apparently about their activities so that's gotta be tough for those women but I digress. ]
