Last week the National Enquirer and In Touch Weekly threw a little party over what appeared to them as the rotting corpse of Jennifer Aniston’s love life. After going on one date with Bradley Cooper, Bradley totally pulled a “just friends” in the press, which was viewed by some as a humiliating public denial of a perfectly good made-for-tabloid romance. The Enquirer claimed it was Aniston’s “Love Implosion” and created a story about Jennifer giving Bradley a “relationship timeline” in which he was to provide her babies and marriage within a year. Meanwhile, In Touch had some “insider” quotes about how Jennifer is needy, clingy, and how she scares men away.
So Aniston was due a nicer portrayal of what exactly is happening in her love life. This version comes via Life & Style, and it definitely shows the past two weeks’ events in better light. They’re basically saying that Jennifer has to choose between Bradley Cooper (who, I guess, still wants to date her in this version) and Gerard Butler. Apparently, Aniston and Butler have been flirting up a storm while shooting Bounty Hunter. An insider claims that Aniston says she and Gerard “have a strong physical attraction.” Uh… yeah, he’s Gerard Butler. He could have a strong physical attraction with a mailbox. He’s that sexy.
“Between takes, Jen and Gerard were definitely flirting with each other,” says an eyewitness on the Atlantic City, NJ set of Bounty Hunter. “She was rubbing his face, touching his arm and laughing.”
[During] a late night shoot in the Trump Taj Mahal casino, “Jen was very chatty with Gerard during the breaks,” another onlooker said. “Gerard was getting really close to her on the escalator. You could definitely notice a connection between them.”
Jen’s flirtation with Gerard came less than a week after [she went to dinner with Bradley Cooper]. “They were very flirty and taken with each other,” a witness says.
In other words, Jen appears to have her pick of two of Hollywood’s hottest stars.
“I’m having a great time working with her,” Gerard told Life & Style on June 16 at the beginning of filming. “She’s a lot of fun to be with.”
But nearly four years after her split with Brad Pitt, Jen isn’t in any rush to walk down the aisle. She’s determined not to commit to a serious relationship unless she’s sure it’s worth her time, according to an insider. In the meantime, she’s just having fun.
“She has strong and sincere feelings for Gerard, and she’s very curious about what’s going to happen between them on set,” the insider says. “She says they have a strong physical attraction.”
Confirms an insider close to the Scottish actor, “She’s always liked Gerard, and now he likes her.”
As for Bradley, [Jennifer] is interested in going out with him to see how their relationship develops. But for now, they’re just friends, Bradley insists. And Jen’s not choosing either guy. She’s keeping her options open.
[From Life & Style, print edition, July 13 2009]
As much as I want to shake Aniston and use any and all negative reinforcement to dissuade her from ever, ever flipping her hair in Gerard’s direction, I have a feeling that it’s on. I think Aniston will get into Gerard’s pants – if she hasn’t already. They will make the sexy time. But I do seriously doubt that Gerard will become some tabloid-friendly romance for her. Gerard doesn’t seem to go in for those clever little “insider” quotes about how he’s just looking for a nice girl (like Aniston!) to settle down with (and get Aniston pregnant!). The last time he was rumored to be romancing some Hollywood lady, it was Cameron Diaz, and Gerard shot that down with this rude/hilarious comment: “So if I take my dog for a walk apparently I’m f—ing my dog? No, it’s not true!” So, will there be another denial?

Good, who gives a sh*t anymore about Jennifer Aniston and her love life. It is like an annoying tune that keeps on playing.
i love jen…she can have anyone she wants
and by the way, the opposite of anonymous is eponymous
Well DUH, who didn’t see this headline coming?
Does she really have her pick of these ‘hot hollywood stars’ if neither is interested?
The tabloids really do her a disservice with their constant attempts to either show her as a femme fatale or a hopeless loser in love. I know that her PR person has pushed these stories, but that strategy is pathetic. What’s next, Butler and Cooper releasing joint statements decrying any interest in Aniston?
Wow, they are both not interested! I know Gerard gets around, but after the bad media Vince Vaughn, Paul Scuffor (the model now dating Cameron Diaz), and John Mayer recieved after “breaking” Aniston’s heart — I don’t see it happening.
Jen can’t have anyone she wants,, her track record proves that. How many guys have walked away since Brad? She is too needy, whinny and she compairs everyone to her ex.
Yep, and I have to choose between Johnny Depp and Billy Armstrong.
The next move is to have the two guys duke it out over Aniston’s affections. Sure, Cooper is slight compared to Butler, but he looks agile and quick. I’ve always regretted that two guys never fought over me, so I propose this scenario on her behalf. A real ego-booster, I’d bet.
I thought Cooper was fucking Zellweger.
I have to laugh at the “Jennifer can get any man she wants” comments considering her big conquests after Brad Pitt are Vince Vaughn and John Mayer. They are not exactly Hollywood’s hottest stars. I can’t believe that people are so gullible about this story. Cooper is the “it” guy of the moment and is getting the most attention he’s ever had, especially from groupies. Gerard is one of the biggest players in Hollywood. Yet people are supposed to believe they are waiting by the telephone desperately hoping Jennifer wants a relationship with them? Before anybody says that Jennifer is beautiful, rich, and successful, that describes thousands of women in Hollywood. Not just actresses, but also singers, models, etc.
Why do tabloids make her look like the most sought after actress when her movies barely make a profit. Also every time she comes out in a movie they are always pairing her off with whoever the actor of the day at that moment. I wish they would stop doing this it’s so annoying.
Im a Jen fan, and I don’t think she wants either one of these men, shes friends with both..but thats it..The media likes to make up stories, and some haters believe everything they read about her.
Sylvia:
because that is the strategy… that is the hole she dug for herself. If the conversation is not about her “supposed wonderful” love life then it is about Brad/Angelina.. Take those elements away and what do you have.. Nothing. She is the one that paraded John Mayer around. Telling the world how protective she was of him.. How wonderful he was.. then he had a “press conference” telling the world He was just not into her.. Then her “friends” came out as per usual and trashed him calling him cheap and more names then I can remember.. Then.. yeah she went back to him and dragged him to the Oscars where she should have just said no. Causing more Tab headlines about the big show down.. Then what did John do again. tell the world that he was just there for support and to meet other celebs.. Yeah she can get any man she wants. I don’t feel sorry for her. This is a 40 year old woman successful and rich. Problem she acts like a 19 year old. Now she has run the Brad left me play book to the end and she has to come up with something else. People are tired of the connection that does not exist. She got a divorce. Her x moved on first. Life.. nothing more. So now the new tale is these 2 men are fighting over her. Fighting over Jennifer Aniston. OK.. Both have said in loud and clear terms they are “just friends”..
These are the kind of stories that make her look like a loser. You expect this crap from a Heidi, Lindsey, Kristen and so. but a 40 year old mature woman. These are stories that you hear about tweens and twenty somethings. Drew Berrymore, Cameron D, even Kate H.(who goes through men like tissue) date a lot.. do we hear this kind of crap about them. NO just her. These women are in charge. Strong and Single. They control their lives and breakups. Never playing the poor me.. card.. Never worrying about who their x’s are with.
she made her bed so she can lay in it..
I wish I was in that predicament…
blablablablabla
Has it ever occured to you that the tabs make the stories up?
No i quess you are to stupid because if you believe everything that is written about her then you have no brains in your head.
Then you believe also all the stupid stories about brangelina, no because then you say no it is all made up and bullshit.
But is there anything written about jen then it is her pr team doing it.
Come on think and get a life because i cannot believe that someone believes all this stuff.
First the tabbs make the story up about jen and brad why? because they were in the same place at the same time. Have you never thought about that before the shooting began of both that movies that they are going to say something like that. No then you are stupid.
Second the tabbs see jen and bradley cooper at a restaurant having dinner, she can go out with a friend, she does not have to stay at home because of the tabbs, the tabbs make the story up there on. Then cooper comes out and says we are friends what do the tabbs do, he dumped her, then they say jen goes out with him because she wants to make brad pitt jealous. Then the story changes and they say she gave him a timeline for the relationship. You believe this then you are stupid.
Third the tabbs come out and say she has to choose between buttler and cooper, but they said a story back that cooper dumped her and she was only professionaly interested in buttler, so how come in a few days after being so called dumped by cooper and only interested in buttler in a professionaly way she now has to choose between them.
You seriously don’t believe all this made up stories do you? I can’t believe that somebody is believing this and also says that her pr team does this. This is all in a week time.
Both Jennifer and Gerard want publicity for their movie, so I’d take anything they do/say with a grain of salt.
Everybody who works with Jennifer always says how much fun she is on a movie set. She really seems to enjoy it!
i love the ‘quotes’ from these tabloids-they always sound like High School…so and so thinks she’s ‘alot of fun to be with’…she’d like x,but so and so isn’t sure of his feelings…
i’m waiting for the ‘he signed her yearbook,don’t change jen,have a great summer,stay in touch,luv U’…
I too believe Gerard and Jennifer will have something going between them but as soon as the movie is over it will end. Gerard will just take advantage of the her neediness and move on just like all the rest have.
Player or not, it would be very hard to say no to Gerard Butler.
I’m cracking up over here. How do you choose between two guys who don’t want you?
This seems contrived. Lainey gossip predicted this on her site a few weeks ago. Jen knows the public is getting tired of the old triangle so she has to start a new triangle. And what better to start a new traingle than to put herself in the middle with two guys fighting over her. ha
Bradely declared very vocally she’s just a friend and Gerard is just too busy chasing models.
From NyPost Pagesix:
Further east, “300” star Gerard Butler turned out at the Montauk Yacht Club’s models-strewn July 4th bash thrown by photographer Ben Watts, the brother of Naomi Watts. “He was there with about a million girls,” one attendee laughed.
Jennifer might as well pick Gerard because last I heard, Bradley Cooper was seen on a date with Renee Zellweger.
On another note, I was in Atlantic City a couple weeks ago for my honeymoon. I think I passed by where they were filming! I wish I had known, I would have loved to have met Jennifer Aniston.
blah, blah, blah. miss jennifer, news alert. they’re just not into you. 😉
I love how when a story about Brad and Angie comes out that their fans don’t like they say it’s made up by the tabloids, but if a story comes out about Jennifer Aniston that is not complimentary it’s considered to be gospel and 100% true.
Not that this story is in anyway true, but “why can’t this happen to meee??”
This is awesome. This is totally what used to happen to Angelina when she was single. She was rumoured to have hooked up with every male co-star of every movie she was in…
Remember Taking Lives. In the same movie the tabs had her hooking up with Ethan Hawke and Olivier Martinez. Then Colin Farrel and Val Kilmer in Alexander… I could go on, I wonder if that was her PR team spreading those rumours though but I’m sure the brangelunatics will say no. The same rules of logic never apply both ways do they.
Naturally I have to throw my “Defend Jennifer like she’s my sister” hat in the ring.
It’s almost useless to defend her on this site since so many of the people who comment here think she’s a desperate, pathetic, needy HAG who can’t keep a man.
As long as they are here, I will be here to say that in all likelihood she’s having a lot of fun just being a free woman since dudes can be really really annoying.
A week ago I wrote that Jen was not needy in the romance department. She is, however, needy in the acting department. To team up with a solid actor as Gerard Butler in a film is a blessing and I think that once he sees that she is truly in need of honing her acting skills, he will step in and help. And the real winner here is the audience.
Leave Her Alone!!!
Of course she wants to find Mr. Right again. What the hell is wrong with that? That makes her desperate? It’s totally natural and feminine.
Desperate is chasing men and debasing yourself to try to win a man’s favor, all the while seriously lowering your standards because you want so very much to be with someone, anyone.
That is clearly NOT what she has done. She has conducted her very public life with as much dignity as anyone could muster.
You may not like her acting, her career, or the personality you imagine she has, but give her some credit where credit is due.
All of you who hate her (or who hate Angelina) are simply projecting your own fears and insecurities onto these “characters”.
Those of you who were dumped are either siding with Jen or absolutely denigrate her because you can’t accept your own vulnerability, your own rejection — and so you heap all of your self-hatred onto this poor woman.
Examine your own motivations, please.
And onto a lighter subject, I hope she’s having great orgasms with GB. He’s a fine piece of asiago.
As for the other guy, Bradley C, I think they’re just friends. He’s too geeky for her.
Seriously, this is Aniston’s wet dream that two hot actors are fighting over her. More than likely, her PR man is making up stories so that she will look uber desirable. She needs the attention and a hit film. Her last film, Management, flopped big time. It’s the Aniston go-to career strategy. Sadly, it’s worked so far.
This is all a media ploy to increase her “exposure”. She used her interactions with bradley cooper to increase her fame, and saw the potential to create a triangle that the media would love when she began working with gerard butler. She may be a pathetic mess, but she still knows how to work the media in her favour. This is the reason that I hate Jennifer Aniston so much. She is a bland, irritating, unremarkable actress, yet people still love her. I do not understand this at all.
sarah, hate is a strong word. i can never understand either how come you people have the ability to HATE someone who never comes near your hair, nor even knows you’re existed. try put that massive energy on something else positive. you’ll feel better.
pukea, this is a gossip blog. Sarah is in the right place. Shouldn’t you be on a different kind of blog spewing your advice? You will feel better. Nice choice of name you’ve chosen for yourself, BTW. Speaks volumes.
actualy the nickname is to honor your dear idol
Choose Gerald Jen. Pleeeeeeeeeese. I hope she ends up happy. She does seem like a happy nice girl. No need to hate her because her husband run off with your saint. After all, she is the one whose husband cheated on. What has she ever done wrong? If she is miserable, does that increase Brad’s ‘love’ for Ange? I doubt. Go Jen.
LMAO at Jen can get any man she wants…correction that should be “any douche bag she wants” but we all know she really can’t get any d-b.
Jen really needs to fire her pr team but I have a feeling these pr tricks are leaking from her own 16 year old brain. Her pr team should have come up with a new trick instead of a juvenile triangle. I don’t care who they triangle her with she comes out the desperate pathetic one and this is just so high school. B Cooper already denied her and then went out with RZ.
I agree with the poster that said ” knew this was coming.” Jen is so pathetic and desperate that
her every move is so predictable.
So agree with the poster that said “She made her bed so she can lay in it.”
I think her mental growth stopped at the age of 16. If she where more mature and actully had talent then they could make better pr choices for her.
Um, Ursula… whoever she “chooses” is a moot point since neither of them want her anyway.
If you seriously want her to get involved with Gerard Butler, you have lost the few marbles you have left. The guy is an inveterate womanizer. He makes John Mayer look like a choir boy. He’ll hump her and dump her and leave her flat on her face. She’s been down that route too often already, don’t you think?
Big surprise! Called it a month ago! Does anyone actually believe this? We knew this headline was coming! Next week Bradley and Gerard are going to get into a fist fight over who gets to take her out, she ends up with a bloody nose, and now they are both wife beaters!!
whoa….such a tough stressful choice….
life must be good.
@BlueSkies: “Spewing” tends to have negative connotations. Giving sound advice is not negative.
Spending your time actually hating someone you’ve never met is a waste, even on a gossip site. You don’t have to fawn over the person whose behavior you dislike but actually taking the time out to say you literally hate someone who you will never come in contact with seems over the top and like a waste of time and energy.
Adoondee: “Leave Her Alone!!!

*********************************************
Oh honey, please. “Poor woman” my ass. The woman needs a good hard dose of tough love. Shit happens. There is no guarantee it won’t happen to you. If it does, you can either get through it and get over it, or you can wallow in your own misery for umpteen years. The latter course seems like a waste of time and energy, but hey, if it floats your boat, go to it. Just don’t expect the rest of the world to wallow with you. Misery may love company, but company don’t love misery.
It’s funny reading all the crAzy “Jen can do no wrong” fan spewage. These people don’t work in Hollywood and have no idea how things really work. They believe in sad little fairy tales. These people are just as nuts as the Angelina is a saint people. Celebs are nothing but ego-maniacs who love attention–the more, the better. It’s all about me, all the time. If it’s not about ego, then it’s about money. Everything else is bs they use to fool you into liking them.
I personally think Aniston’s PR team sits up late at night thinking of ways to get her into the tabloids. That’s how celebs w/out talent stay famous these days. Instead of the casting couch, we now have the celeb hook-ups/PR game. It’s another version of f-ing your way to the top.
Of course, Jen dating Brad was her first and best PR move. She thought she would be the next Nicole Kidman. No wonder Brad called their relationship a “dead end.” She would never get what she wanted (an Oscar) just by dating A-listers. Now, she’s floundering around trying to nail the next best thing, while making one crappy movie after another. You can just smell the desperation. No credible, talented director wants to take a chance on her yet.
I seriously don’t get the love for this woman? These fans think Jen is some kind of saint for surviving a divorce which millions of women go through on a daily basis (only with little money or sympathy). Donate your time to a battered woman’s shelter or a woman’s group, not to this attention-seeking, untalented ego-driven mess. I don’t get the fan mentality at all.
Well said LA girl and all actors suck, couldn’t have said it better myself.
I wish I could choose between these two!
Go for Butler, girl!
Pathetic?
Jen’s not withering away her days getting all emotional about celeb gossip blogs. Now, that’s pathetic!
Good grief! About 98% of most Hollywood stories are made up. The sensational headlines help sell the rags for people that believe all the trash. The only people who really know what is going on with Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler are them. I suspect they keep their true feelings private. We don’t need to know everything about their private lives.
Um, Angelina probably DID hook-up with “nearly every male co-star of every movie she was ever in.”..
Most of the stories in these rags are MADE UP. It must be hard being her – with every move she makes documented, (along with an “inside story”, whether factual – or not).
Given she’s so famous, though, you would think that she’d meet people privately, first, to get to know them outside of the public eye, before being seen in public.
Yeah, I’d F–k her and I am a lipstick lesbian who happens to think that she is full of sex appeal!!:)
Its amazing to me that some of you actually think all of these headlines are true! Do you seriously think every actor & actress hooks up when they film a movie together!? A lot do, yes, but not every single one of them. Is it so hard to believe that maybe they are just hanging out as friends!? Honestly, who cares? They’re all single adults free to date whomever they wish.
what ever the dissing blog article every time – JEN ROCKS- bottom line
So is there ANYONE who didn’t see this “triangle” coming? What a load of BS.Butler is into 20-something models not middle-aged fame whores.
This is ridiculous already.. LOl like the girl can not even talk to a guy and shes already in a soap opera romance ,, she def doesnt look like the type that begs to men, sorry.
Dream on, Jen. I’m sure Jen or her pr team wrote this headline herself. I’m sure she would just love to think men are fighting over her (take that BRad!) I remember reading a quote where she talked about how eligible men are everywhere looking at her. Ok.
so high, dont just spread hatred like that. now please give me link where exactly she said that. in my opinion, Ms. aniston is not the type of person who says the such thing. she’s no saint, but not that narcissist. she can make joke about herself and doesn’t take herself so seriously. I would instantly believe if that kind of words come from Paris hilton.
Pukealina, you should scold people about
hatred you hypocrite with that screen name. Here’s the article from Celebitchy,
“Aniston now says that she’s feeling better and is recovering from the crippling depression that plagued her after her husband of four and a half years, Brad Pitt, left her for screen siren Angelina Jolie:
“I danced more and played more in the last two months than in the last 10 years. One day it’s like a switch went off – and all of a sudden it was like, ‘Men! Everywhere!’ The cloud is lifting. I’m starting to see the light and it’s good.”
She goes on about cheating men, saying “It’s men who usually do the cheating.”
The media takes just about everything out of context… so what, leave the woman alone. I,myself love Angelina Jo but it seems that Jen Ani doesn’t get a break with her love life. I mean do we really know what goes on with her in private? Except for what National Enquirer, Star,In touch etc(who of course have the inside scoop)I don’t think we really know
gerard Butler had a girlfriend while he was working with Aniston,and he wasn’t interested because he liked his girlfriend.Jennifer Aniston tried everything to get him,but it didn’t work.To bad Jennifer,time to look elewhere.She was to plain for him.He likes women that are beautiful
