Jennifer Aniston Snags Gerard Butler For ‘Goree Girls’

Jennifer Aniston Snags Gerard Butler For ‘Goree Girls’

Romance rumors began to swirl this summer when Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler started meeting.

Turns out Jen was interested in… Gerard’s acting!

Life & Style has learned that Jen, 39, has nabbed the 300 star, 39, for a role in The Goree Girls, a woman’s prison saga she’s set to produce and star in next year.

“The thing that really blew her away was P.S. I Love You,” says a Jen insider. “Gerard’s performance made her laugh and cry.”

Should Jen’s on-again boyfriend, John Mayer, be worried about the Scottish stud?

“She’ll get a kick out of having romantic scenes with Gerard,” the insider says. “But she wants to go home at the end of the day with someone like John.”

Geez Jared. I didn’t think or gas m is a no-no word. Kill joy :)

# 7

Gerard is better looking than John in my opinion, but equally if not more likely to have an STD. LOL.

# 8

What I like most of her is how lovely she is, always smiling, nice to everybody…You don´t see her crying on interviews, trying to make a scene…

Way it go JEN!!!!

# 9

Love her cant wait to see it.

Hello…who cares about Gerry or John. THE GOREE GIRL!??!?!? What kind of fcukery is that????

Don’t make that movie, Gerry. You are better than that!

u go jen. get ur flirt on. aniston mostly likely said i sh~g u if you’ll be in my movie. go jen. u ****

If you don’t like the girl, stop posting hateful things. It’s funny to me that all you haters take your time and post ridiculous comments.

I love Jen! This should be a good film! :)

another box-office BOMB. my god aniston is ugly

bye, bye gerard @ 11/19/2008 at 1:20 pm

If you do this movie with Jennifer Aniston it will be the end of your career.

not interested @ 11/19/2008 at 1:24 pm

I rather watch a dead fish in a fish bowl turned upside down, than see Jennifer Boriston do a love scene yet I wouldn’t pay .02 to see any of her snoozefest movies.

Spicylily THAILAND @ 11/19/2008 at 1:26 pm

Whatever……….

Jennifer Aniston can not act apart from being Rachel Green.

It’s painful to watch her trying to seduce and completely failed
in ‘ Derailed’ and even more painful to see her brief appearance and singing ‘ Happy Birthday’ to Alec Balwind in ‘ 30 Rock’

Well, Jen got money so she can produce, act and do whatever she
want in her own movies, otherwise who will take a chance ?

‘ Managment ‘ and ‘ The Traveller’ are still hanging on the shelf,
no distributor after all.

Though I really like Gerard and see almost all of his movie but I will not want to see you with or in a plain Jen movie.

I think Jen has more motives than just got Gerard in her film.
Come on………………Jen
Please go back to your small screen already.

gerry in texas? @ 11/19/2008 at 1:27 pm

I do not know much about this movie or the role that gerry will play. Apparently, the prison is in texas? Please god, gerry, do not attempt a southern accent!!!! I love you and you are hot, but you cannot pull off an american accent, much less a southern one. Hopefully, he is playing a prison guard of Scottish decent?? Ugh.

Sounds good to me. I can’t wait to see Marley and Me.

BECKY SMITH @ 11/19/2008 at 1:30 pm

Why not have a new movie set romance…Since that is how Angie and
Brad met… It would be fun ….John is sooo boring … and it is time that
Jen shows the world that she does not care about her ex husband..

Gerard was great in PS I Love You. He was so sweet and then he had to die! I also laughed and cried when I saw this movie.

Gerard baby you are totally a Scottish Stud.

Well at least this one won’t pee on her…

Actually, I think Jen and Gerry will hit it off. He’s a good actor. Did you see him in the Scottish movie Dear Frankie, about the little deaf boy? It is different from anything else he ever did. He is very sweet in it.

Tintangel @ 11/19/2008 at 1:40 pm

OMG! It gets worse! It’s a f*****g musical!

… but as a career move for him, it will be the kiss of death. Run Gerard, run!

John and Jen are not a couple.

YAY for Gerry :)

I think that people need to keep their mouths shut, try being in the movies yourself and see how good you are .All these people are jealous over the stars. I have learned if you don’t have anything good to say keep your mouths shut.

Great!

Another failed film for Aniston, that no one will watch. This time, she gets to add “failed producer” to her credits.

Oh geez. Watching Derailed was extraordinarily painful as she was so bad in it. Tell me she isn’t going to attempt another drama. The last scene in Derailed where she is shot, she is so bad you just had to laugh as she falls dead.

andamentothat @ 11/19/2008 at 2:05 pm

This should be fun to watch.. JJ will have posts liek 10x a day when this starts filming.. ooj new love for Jen around March when Mayer is released from his contract..

======================================================

OMG! I love that movie, I just wished that him and the mom would got together, it would def. made that little boy happy.

Um, not to take the wind out of anyone’s sails that thinks aniston can act, let alone get this stupid movie brought to screen and have a box office hit - but reality check: this bit of rumor is from Life & Style. A tabloid. It appears no where else online.

Why people are swallowing it - may give you an idea of who’s behind it - aniston’s PR flack, Huvane.

It wouldn’t surprise me though if (Huvane) who regularly leaks to tabloids, is floating this in the hopes she can scare up some funding - she is close to persona non grata.

It tells you just how desperate she is, if she even has to lie about someone like butler who is almost 40 and still hasn’t arrived, to get greenlit. hahaha.

gerard ‘ps I love you,’ butler is not exactly gold - plus his fat chipmunk cheeks make him look bloated 24/7. Call me if he makes a musical ‘300,’ ..but a craptastic musical starring jen aniston about priosners, female - excuse me, but roflmao.

So far. this butler rumor appears nowhere else.

If Butler values having a legit career - he’ll treat desperate maniston like the TV bad luck she is, and run far far far away….then he’ll ring up Brad Pitt and ask for a role in The Departed sequel, World War Z, or any number of big projects Plan B is working on. Hahaha

….last thing I read, butler was very eager to quickly issue a press release saying he had nothing to do with her in Toronto. LOL

Let’s see how long it takes him this time to disassociate himself….lol

Yes, she wants to go home to someone she can manipulate.

I hope this one is successful for her.

I think if she got a big movie behind her a lot of this ‘love triangle’ crap would stop.

But she is a little all american looking for a prisoner (if that is what she will be playing).

Independant Thinker @ 11/19/2008 at 2:49 pm

I’m looking forward to this new movie. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of the many movies Jen has made in the last three years….especially memorable was Derailed….such a twist at the end! 300 was an awesome movie, so Geradrd should be great in this movie. Remember Gerard DePardeu?….same strong, cute, funny type of acting. With the economy situation, job situation , etc in the world now, it’s great to have two hours of feeling good and laughing….thanks Jen! Ever gracious, charasmatic, and such a lady! I have to admire her for many reasons, life isn’t easy for any one of us, but she seems to have a calm that allows her to get throug any of the deep chyt that tries to stick to her….gotta admire her for that…

And to all you Jen haters: ANGELINA JOLIE CAN’T ACT…she is VERY lucky to have her beauty because that’s what sells in Hollywood. Her films focus only her, her looks and her body -that is NOT acting!

Best wishes for Jen and Gerry!!! I think they will have a great chemistry together. All the best to Goree Girls!!!

i am stoopid moron anyway.

Why do I keep seeing these remarks about John and Jen are not a couple. They’re under contract…It is an act…They are with other people…Is she with Gerard? Brad? Is there some game to free him? Somehow I do suspect that there is some kind of staging going on to throw the people and paps off but what it is exactly I don’t know. Please someone who does, tell us the truth.

so uncool @ 11/19/2008 at 3:34 pm

Hey #38, who was mentioning Angelina here? Just because some people consider JA a bad actress (and producer), you assume they are AJ fans and you must attack her?

Well here, darling: At 33 years old, 3 Golden Globe Awards, 2 Screen Actors Guild Awards and 1 Academy Award achieved… yup , that definitely sounds like the profile of a terrible actress! Or maybe NOT?

Maybe we should also quote Just Jared, for a little extra fun “It was recently reported that Angie’s 2008 gross total in box office revenue has reached over $1 billion, according to BoxOfficeMojo. Angie, our billion dollar box office champ!”. I mean, if someone who achieves ALL that “can’t act”, what can we say of some other actress whose movies have always bombed big time, and whose appearance in 30 Rock gave the show its lowest rating of the season? I guess Angelina is not the “uncool” one when it comes to movie biz!

so uncool ita and didnt gorgeous gerard act with Ange and say the most amazing things abt her…biting much douchifer

Sorry, she is Box Office Poison

I haven’t seen any confirmation of this posted by Gerard or Jennifer’s management people as yet. Shouldn’t we wait and see if it’s a done deal? I am a little worried about Gerry signing on to do a movie with her. She isn’t exactly box office magic despite all the publicity she gets in magazines and online.Maybe Marley and Me willl be a hit for her. Gerry’s got so many projects in the fire right now, I wonder when they’d film this? No contest between John/Gerry. Gerry’s hot, John’s not. In fact, there’s something kind of icky about John.

Great, now if she gets along with him, has a drink after work or decides to practice lines in his trailer we’ll be treated to screaming headlines about their secret affair.

MMMM….sounds interesting. Jen, you are on a roll lately :)

I think this is another failed film too. The douche bag she is with is not going to be able to help drum up attention for Jen. If any thing he is bringing her down.

John is not worried because as he said “he only shags stupid women” Jen is stupid that why she is with Mayer.

Jen is so desperatly trying to get people to notice her-it will not work her dog movie will flop.

Gerry’s got so many projects in the fire right now, I wonder when they’d film this?
***************************************
Well, there’s Law Abiding Citizen in Philly next month….then I think he has some voice over work with Zack Snyder and a kid’s dragon film - after that I have not heard a thing. Gosh I hope he’s not desperate.

I disappointed that Jen feels she has to stir up trouble with her ex just so she could get notice. You don’t get attention that way, you make a good movie then let that stand on it’s own. Jen has turned into a sad person these days.
All this running around town for a publicity stunt is humiliating.
If any thing she is losing fans because of these low tactics.

This guy is 100x better than that douche bag Mayer.

Baby girl @ 11/19/2008 at 5:41 pm

This b!tch Jen is ’bout it, ’bout it!! She’s making more money than the law should allow ($27 mil in 2007), she’s bumping uglies with baby boy, John Mayer, and now she’s going to be locking lips with “Leonidas”. …no rugrats, brand new digs ($12 mil palace I hear), her own production company, 2 movies coming up, and a body that won’t quit. F@ck Brandgelina, I want to be this b!tch.

This woman is damn ugly! That chin freaks me out.

Plain JANEnifer Maniston USED BY DATE is pass the over due date !
give it up HOniston you are F*CKING UGLY TALLENTLESS DESPERATE BARREN PEEWOMEN !

I don’t know…..her movies are not doing so well, and his are even worse . Apart from 300 and RnR that is.
I thought Ps I love you was crap with a capital C.

She does make a better looking couple with Gerard Butler than he who shall remain nameless. But, geez, what a very unflattering photo of her. She does have some masucline traits, doesn’t she?

There is no doubt in my mind that I will see this movie and unlike others who have condemed the movie before it even starts, I will support the movie because Jen is a wonderful person and Gerry is a consumate actor and he can pull this off pretty well!!! The man is the sexiest man on two feet for me!!! I know there are a hell of a lot of awesomely gorgeous men out there, but Gerry is ALL for me. He is a real stunner!!!

Love Ya G-Man!!!
Your Lil’ Joanie

Just kill me now... @ 11/19/2008 at 9:18 pm

Please don’t let this be true. Jen is box office and TV death. I have seen two of her movies and she sucked in both. She only plays Rachel, or is she really just Rachel!?! Much! Definitely a one trick pony. When this one bombs whose career will be her next target? I hate to see those who are making their way in Hollywood get hit with such bad luck as being in a movie with Loser Maniston. Good luck Owen Wilson. Run for your very life, I mean career, Gerry. It isn’t worth it to be associated with the next Maniston flop. As for Maniston, I wonder how long her flops will be bankrolled? At the rate she is going, maybe we only have to wait another year or two for the money men to pull the plug. Let’s hope!

Jen you looks beautiful

Voice of reason @ 11/20/2008 at 4:11 am

He’s a twat.

And she’s a *****.

This movie will suck donkey b@lls.

cj ..........peace to all @ 11/20/2008 at 5:18 am

what a loooonnng chin. eeeerkk! ugly!!

Why does Jen always have the same never ending hairstyle.If you want people to notice you change your style,do something wicked with that hair, cut it, dye it ,but please anything then this.
Gerard just needs a clean shave and loose his chubby cheeks.
Maybe, and i say MAYBE then i would take one glimps of this movie

MImi, LOOK IN THE MIRROR LATELY….DON”T BREAK IT ugly

reality speaking @ 11/20/2008 at 4:12 pm

this is the same movie Meryl Streep signed up for along with Jen but then decided to move on to ther projects cause she couldn’t get it off the fround and in production phase.

He will probably do the same if Jen cant find backers and the people along with the money to get the movie made.

“What I like most of her is how lovely she is, always smiling, nice to everybody…You don´t see her crying on interviews, trying to make a scene…

Way it go JEN!!!!


No of course not, Huvaniston plant (you think we can’t tell who youa re?) I mean, its not like manipulative Jen burst into tears on cue in the 2005 Vanity Fair interview, is it? its not the the very SECOND the reporter entered the room, she cried for sympathy and her little pity party. Its not like she isn’t a nasty person, who back-stabs her ex-husband in the same interview, later calling Angelina “uncool” yet praising her (apparent) cheating ex-husband for his achievements (which have ALL been the result of and thanks to ANGELINA, might I add!).

Its not like she gets her friends to bad-mouth John mayer to the press because he told the TRUTH about their breakup.

Last, but certainly not least, its not like the ungrateful and cruel ice queen called her own mother a DISEASE.

Aniston is the epitome of evil, cruelty, dramatic publicity stunts, crying in interviews on cue for maxim affect, and manipulation and self-serving take no prisoners sacrifice anyone and who cares how much blood she has on her hands.

No wonder bad karma has really dealt her a bad serve. She deserves it.

Agreed Mimi. She has all that money, why doesn’t she get 4 5ths of that chin cut off? She is very scary, in a Michael Jackson way. Only he didn’t need surgery, but she does.

MBtree, agreed about the hair. I know someone who said to me recently that at 22, Aniston still has the EXACT SAME hairstyle as when they were a young child. Its a straggly rats nest that never looks brushed, it hangs in her face and certainly doesn’t flatter her facial structure at all. Have a bob cut, razor cut your hair, do a pink mohawk. I don’t give a flying ****, just DO something with it!!!!

Man, everyone has made very interesting comments, its amazing to me that you all feel you can stand in judgment of everyone in the public eye. It makes me wonder exactly what your lives would be reviewed as, if you were in the public eye. I mean these posts have everything from bashing of Jennifer to chubby cheeks on Gerard to Angelina and Brad and even poor John. Why can’t you just let the relationships of stars be their relationships, because they certainly have nothing to do with anyone else but themselves, it is their lives, let them solve their issues on their own, because in order to be in the public eye, they had to have learned how to handle their lives on their own by now.I mean come on. Jennifer has said that her and John are back together, (so she’s not with anyone else and neither is he) Angelina and Brad are very much with each other (she’s even talking about maybe not acting anymore just so she can give more time to her children, which I think is admirable, not many people think children over money these days)and as for Gerard, he is still out there doing what he likes when he likes to do it and personally not caring what people’s opinions of him is (nor is there anything written anywhere that says he has to care) so comment if you need to, but keep in mind what you would like people to say about you if you were out there in the public eye, and show these stars the same kind of courtesy.

Hey! Gerard is 100000000x hotter than John. Oh Jen, you’re making a real mistake!

reality speaks @ 11/28/2008 at 7:29 pm

this story is totally false… there is nothing posted anywhere even on the actual producttion sites that put movies that are being considered. Not one mention of this movie.. not one..

Huvane set this lie up…

you know how I know its a lie

cause gerard is booked solid for five movies all the way thru 2010! non of which are goree girls…

EASY TO SAY. BUT MARRIAGE IS SACRED. SEX IS SACRED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF MARRIAGE. SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE IS A SIN OR ADULTERY IF YOUR HUSBAND IS STILL ALIVE. PRINCE CHARLES MARRIED TO CAMILLA IS STILL GUILTY OF ADULTERY, WHY? BECAUSE CAMILLA`S FORMER HUSBAND IS STILL ALIVE.

#72 Gosh I wish it were true that Gerry had movies all the way thru 2010.
All I can see is Law Abiding Citizen…the Dragon one is a voice over
and Ugly Truth and Game are completed… I just don’t see what he’s working on past LAC. But I never did think the Aniston project was real.
I am losing hope for the RockNRolla Sequel… I dunno….

Gerard is booked solid thru 2010.
Check the other sites. remember he has to promote the films as well.

Gorre Girls is a film Jen has had since 2004 and has not been able to get off the ground. Meryl Streep did sign on back in 2005 but droppped out b/c the project did not come to fruition. She moved on to make other films.
It was under a different title. Its one of the movies she got from the divorce deal.

She has not been able to find any backers for the film and shes not willing to put her own money into it. It has no director assigned even after all this time.

This movie may take up to ten years to make and may end up with a totally different cast

how hollywoood works @ 12/08/2008 at 10:27 am

Gerard is now promoting the Ugly Truth…
has just wrapped filming the game
has signed on to Tales of Black Freighter
has signed on to do “Law Abiding Citizen”-
He has also signed on to another film “How to train Your Dragon” in 2010

BTW he has not been signed on nor is rumored to be on Goree Girls.
He may agreed to meet with Jen and said he will talk it over with his agent but no deal has been struck. there is still his salary in which Jen would have to pay.

Great Couple… !!!! He’s so handsome and she’s so pretty!!! I like this better and Brad!!! Go Aheaddddddd

just a girl @ 05/05/2009 at 3:08 pm

I think its funny how some still want to compare the two ( jen and angie), first of all, jen is a comedic character when playing roles, and everyone is still trying to put her into that stereotype when we see her playing more dramatic roles. I will admit, angie does have definite sex appeal and does a fantastic job in playing the more “daring” roles, however, with that being said, her sex appeal would be a lot more appealing if she used a little more tact in “snagging” her babys daddys. I think everyone would be able to get over this little Jen/Angie drama, had Jen and Brad at least had the ink drying on the divorce papers before we see Brad and Angie romping in the sun with her kid in tow? I dont know.. merely my opinion, and we know where opinions stand
