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.”

… 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.
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..

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.
======================================================
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).
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.
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.
