I just hope that those two don't get together although it would be great Karma if they did. It would be pay back to Bradjelina. I think Gerry is way better looking than Brad. Plus I heard in the tabloids that Brad and Angelina were beginning to have some problems.

Is it terrible for me to admit that I have SERIOUS RESERVATIONS about this film? LOL!
It sounds God awful. I hope I'm wrong.

I do not have high hopes for this film! I was hoping GB would walk from this and hoping it was just a rumor. Oh well...I am curious about some of his choices since 300.
I think she is an absolutely terrible actress. She cannot carry a film to save her life. It amazes me that she still gets these huge picture. Now even at 40 there has been no Jennifer 'girl next door' Anniston replacement in Hollywood. How can that be!?

Is it terrible for me to admit that I have SERIOUS RESERVATIONS about this film? LOL! It sounds God awful. I hope I'm wrong. Honestly.... I wish he's put this one on hold too. I heard rumors a while back that they were going to make the first Janet Evanovich book, "One For the Money" into a movie. I heard they were going to get Reese Witherspoon to play the lead female named Stephanie Plum....These novels are a riot... Stephanie is a laid-off gal who used to work in New York as a buyer of lingerie for a department store. Out of desperation (she's about ready to get kicked out of her apartment) she becomes a bounty hunter and knows about as much about it as you or I would, half the time she forgets her gun. The situations she gets herself in are hilarious. In the first book she is on the tail of a cop gone bad ( Morelli, a ruggedly handsome, sexy Italian guy) perfect role for Gerry, if he could do a Jersey accent that is. The sexual tension between Morelli and Stephanie is unbelievable... Now this would be a great movie!!!! I for one would love a Butler/Witherspoon coupling. Another fun thing about this is there is another male lead a Cuban American named Ranger who is Stephanie's mentor. This character is another incredibly sexy guy rumored to be played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Morelli and Ranger both fall for Stephanie and she just can't decide which one of these alpha males she likes better. If this film is done right it will be loads of fun! I would love for Gerry to do this film.

I'm not so sure about this one either. I once thought that Jennifer would be great for Gerry, but I have changed my mind. I don't see them together anymore. Although, if he does star in this, I will obviously go and see it no matter how bad it may end up being... I could be shocked and it will be a good movie. Who knows?

You know its funny, in the last article, actually the India article he said he's not even close to having an affair with her. You know if I was Aniston I would be a little embarrassed that a guy would deny these rumors so emphatically. Although it may not be her fault. I heard rumors that her camp is the one to leak the rumors. People say she is a media whore and any kind of gossip is okay with her. Especially if it involves her and a hunk.
Is it normal for Gerry to be rumored to have an affair with all his co-stars, I didn't hear anything about the last gal in Rock-n-Rolla.

The last gal in Rocknrolla, i think was married with children, so..... I never thought Jennifer Aniston to be a great actress, and she's absolutely stereotyped in a certain persona - yet..... I wouldn't have want being in her shoes even when she was married to Brad-jerk-Pitt. I guess it was the biggest mistake of her life. Married to the absolute sexy hunk of Hollywood and then not only getting cheated and abandoned for a most gorgeous female of Hollywood, yet being continuously gossiped and people accusing her of practically lost her DH for she didn't want children or couldn't have children and so on.... Five years later and the speculation is still "How's Aniston doing after Brad Pitt"
I guess the poor woman has regret ever laid eyes on him.....

I feel bad for her. Brad is a dickhead and I dont even find him remotely good looking. I think Brad fucked it up bad when he dumped Jen. She is a good girl (it seems) and just wants to be married. Nothing wrong with that...EXCEPT she is looking for this in ALL the wrong men. I feel she doesnt mind having rumors about her...it makes her all the more popular when her movies come out. But if I was in her shoes..no I would not want to be her.....the media portrays her as a weirdo who cant let go of Brad. Still hanging on to his love notes when they were dating...still calles him her husband...I dont know how true any of this is, but I would crack under all that pressure.

I feel for the poor girl and I agree that Brad is not all that good looking. Gerry is totally wrong for her; she is looking for another commitment and Gerry is the last person she should be looking to. If she were to go after him, he would only pull further away and that would really humiliate her... AND publically... again. Stay away, Jen, for your own good and well-being. I love Gerry, but she needs someone who is thinking along the same lines as her.

UPDATE!!!www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/339941/jennifer-aniston-i-can-t-move-on/1/Jennifer Aniston: I can't move on Embarrassed Jennifer's fed-up and desperately searching for love Friday, 1 May 2009 After her humiliating break-up with John Mayer, 30, Jennifer Aniston appeared to throw herself into her work. Long hours on the New York set of her latest movie The Baster, which is all about an unmarried 40-year-old woman who turns to a turkey baster to get pregnant, have left her exhausted, with little time to socialise. And friends say Jen’s mood is now alarmingly low, despite her flying close friends in for weekend stays. ‘With a few exceptions, they’re not going out,’ a source tells . ‘They sit around Jen’s suite and listen to her mope. ‘Jen’s main problem is her inability to move on after her break-up. She knows she needs to find a guy, but she’s so badly hung up on the way things have gone in the past couple of months that she’s too scared to start dating again. 'John humiliated her and knocked her confidence. And it doesn’t help that she keeps getting rejected by the guys she goes after.’ Attempts to attract sports stars, including hockey player Sean Avery, 29, didn’t work and handsome Scottish actor Gerard Butler, 39, has told Jen he doesn’t want relationship with her. Despite reports linking the pair, who are set to star in an action movie together later this year, he’s not interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Poor girl. Now theyre making her look desperate. Anyhow, these rumors are apparently dust now too...which is good. I didnt really believe this one since Jen is SO not his type.
