Gerard Butler Parties Oscars-Style

#23 You seem to be the loser here and not #21… you know nothing about Gerry…
And about Hugh… he was cool that night…. But Hugh is Hugh and Gerry is Gerry!
Gerry’s voice is very sexy!

Actually, how about Hugh and Gerry together (singing of course)….now I just might be interested in that!

But I don’t know Hugh has children and Gerry dates…sorry one nighters…with them. :)

@wha!
Take your Valium, I’m a Jackman fan as well.

As for your vocabulary, everyone knows “ain’t” is redneck for “isn’t”.
Head on back to English 101.

32# You are rigth about his eyes, but the body and how it looks in a suit.. nice..

@UGH et al

I agree. something about these pictures seems a bit off. GB looks good and on the whole I think he looks better as he ages than he did as a young man. But in these pics he does appear kind of tired, jaded and uncomfortable. He seemed the same when he presented at what? Golden Globes was it? I’ve already forgotten. Of course, these are the usual H-wood party pics, very stilted, posed against ad backgrounds and such. He looks as if he is just going through the motions…yet again. As someone commented earlier here, GB seems to spend an awful lot of his time gallivanting around to celebrity events and his social life has stimulated much more attention than his acting for some time now. Since he made Hollywood his home in fact. Since 300. Makes you wonder how happy he really is and who he really is and whether he will accomplish what some of us thought he would after that blockbuster success. Almost overnight, he went from being labeled “Scottish actor” (a very respectable term) to Hollywood hunk, hottie, stud, beefcake, heartthrob, etc. I missed the Oscars, damn it; my TV wasn’t operational. I like Hugh Jackman very much, have never seen him sing or dance, am told he is very talented, think he is very handsome and sexy, and he seems to have a stable marriage and personal life (in spite of some past tragedies. ) Maybe that really does make a difference. As to whether #21 works for GB’s publicist or not, or would comment if s/he did, I don’t know. If you know a star personally and see a lot of false gossip being bandied around, it must be tempting to try to set the record straight anonymously even if it’s NOT strictly professional to comment on a client. Hell, I don’t think GB OR his publicity people are doing such a bang-up job with his image anyway judging by some of the truly awful rumors about him.

I wonder why Gerry didn’t go to the actual Oscars. Does anyone know the format, like, do you get invited to go or is there a ballot system etc. Anyway I have a dream, that one day Gerry will win himself an Oscar, he needs to get himself that special movie role, like why did Sean Penn win it, because he played a real person, I’m noticing that the movies and roles that are making it, are based on real people, true stories, Gerry needs a real story, hopefully its “Burns”. Anyway, about the Oscars……… Hugh Jackman, what a guy…..did a fab job on the Oscars and he’s an aussie and the musical dance routine with Beyonce was done by Baz Luhrman, who’s also an aussie, Nicole Kidman was one of the 5 women to present the Best Actress Oscar and she’s an aussie, maybe it should have been called Auscar Night.

Persephone and Jillyroo - great posts. I believe a lot of us were really hoping for something substantial with LAC, but he seems to have spent all his time at fashion shows and parties the last 2 weeks. Can’t imagine why a person would not want to be more involved in the day-to-day of a film shoot. especially if it is your first venture with your own production company.

But then - what do I know of the film biz - not a thing.

He sings? Maybe he should just stick to standing there anf looking fine!!

#42 so sad, but a valid observation. He’s spending his cachet’ and whor*ng himself out in the tabloids… what awful judgment from someone who has been around Hollywood for a while. I’m hoping that he soon will be off to Scotland to film the Burns project and he’ll be out of the public eye for a good long while.

Gerry is not a mediocre actor. That would be someone like Brendon Frazer. Gerry has given some very fine, nuanced performances, and I believe his best work is ahead of him.

@ pafan If you think Butler is that accomplished a singer you don’t know singing, sorry. I’ve had family involved in opera and his ill-trained voice hit some terrible raw notes. But he also hit some good ones, and he tried, and sang with passion we could respect and admire. cubedweller I agree with you. He’s become a party boy. I don’t know whether this is his desire or his advice from his publicist to get out there and known. He admitted he was shaking in his shoes about doing the Phantom role, but he DID IT. I admire him for that. That kind of moxie was was what attracted me in the first place. If I had that kind of gumption I would be way ahead of where I am in my own career, which is not acting btw, So he became, for awhile, a role model on my inspiration bulletin board, along with others. Don”t think I am completely down on him. He’s a human being not a god. He just seemed to be such a powerful man after 300, to have so much to build on, but seems to be throwing away the advantage as amen seems to agree. Jackman has a better singing voice, and a more confident presence, and I don’t think he looks wizened. He looks younger and much less “wizened” than Butler, Jackman is more handsome and they are roughly the same age. Jackman seems to have it together personally and professionally. He was very impressive at the Oscars. Has anyone noticed that the hottest male stars around are all around 40 or pushing it? The female hot stars seem to be mostly in their 20s. I don’t know where they come from, these girls. I’m older and not in the business and Hollywood seems to me insane. The smartest stars seem to be the ones who stay out of sight of the paparazzi and live in other places. So my sympathy for Butler’s complaints about paparazzi is very limited. When he flips the finger at a paparozzo ( please note the singular and plural in Italian here) it looks as if he is giving the bird to the entire American country that has embraced him and made him rich and famous. I dislike him for that. He could stay off the radar if he really wanted to. Note that #21 if you are indeed part of his publicity staff. There are some very nasty, ugly rumors about GB that I would not repeat. He seems to want to present the image of a “bad boy.” Number one, at close to 40, he’s a bit old for this gambit, number two, my personal experience as a woman with self-styled “bad boys” is that they are full of bullshit, not the man in bed or anywhere else that the real men are. Mostly “bad boys” are covering up their inadequacy. So I am skeptical. That’s all.

If Gerry’s voice is pleasure to my ears, than he can sing.. if he expresses himself singing and he touchs my heart, then he can sing……and I love it.
The problem with some people is that they can’t live and let live… always trying to control other’s people life. Gerry has his way to live and he’s not supposed to live Hugh Jackman’s life or any other star.
I live my life the way I want and let my neighbour lives his life just the way he wants.
Why can’t Gerry go to the places he enjoys? What make people think that only the very young people have the right to party?
Gerry is constantly invited to the parties because he’s kind, funny, well mannered and gorgeous.
Why would he stay at home when he has beautiful places to go? And he goes to the events, etc , because he is invited, right? …
About his work… he never neglects it and he’s a great professional…
He has the time for parties and the time for work…
And the finger to a paparazzo (not paparozzo) or paparazzi (plural)…
they deserve it… and has nothing to do with USA, the country that he loves and respects…
You admire Hugh Jackman and I admire and love Mr. Gerard Butler…
So…LIVE AND LET LIVE!!!
