Here are some new photos of Jessica Biel in New York City over the weekend. The photo agency claims that she was going to “business meetings” so God knows – there were several costume changes involved, but we only have access to these grey coat photos. I dislike the coat, by the way. I’m not completely against the idea of a sweat coat or a coat with a sweater-like detail, but my big issue with this coat is the unflattering “shawl” style breast. It looks like an oversized single-breasted blazer and it’s just a bad look. I also think it’s weird to go to a “business meeting” with your hair done up in a baby rooster tail with an elastic band. That does not seem professional in the least.
We haven’t really talked about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Timberlake (ugh!) since their wedding and since that awful homeless video came to light. While Justin “apologized” in an open letter for the homeless video, I get the feeling that JT and Jessica are still on a lot of people’s sh-tlists. So maybe if they volunteer for Hurricane Sandy relief, maybe then people will like them again? That’s what happened over the weekend – Jessica and Justin volunteered in Rockaway, Queens. They passed out knapsacks full of supplies – you can read more about it here.
One last thing – remember last year when Justin and Jessica broke up and she immediately had her publicist try to make something happen with Gerard Butler? It lasted for about a minute and then both Gerard and Jessica moved on. Now Radar claims that Gerry hasn’t gotten over her!
When Gerard Butler’s new movie Playing for Keeps is released nationwide next month, it will be a bittersweet experience for the buff Scottish actor.
That’s because Butler dated his co-star Jessica Biel but now regrets the way he treated her and considers Jessica the “one that got away.” Gerard, 42, was scared off by Jessica wanting something more serious when they filmed the romantic comedy, so he bolted – a decision he now regrets.
“Gerard doesn’t have many regrets but not treating Jessica with the respect she deserved while they dated is one of them,” a source close to the 300 star revealed. “He genuinely believes she was the one that got away. Jessica liked Gerard a lot, she was into his boyish nature, but she wanted something more serious. She was ready to settle down. That’s why after getting close on the set of Playing for Keeps back in 2011, their relationship soon fizzled out.”
Butler is happy for the newly married Biel because he knows that Justin Timberlake was – and is – the love of her life, “but he still thinks he missed out. He just wasn’t man enough to admit the feelings he had for her at the time,” the source divulged.
After her summer fling with Gerard, Jessica rekindled her relationship with Justin, and he popped the question not long after.
They tied the knot in a lavish $6.5M ceremony in southern Italy and gushed about their happiness as newlyweds.
“It’s great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends,” Justin and Jessica said in a joint statement.
I can’t even work up a good conspiracy theory for this one. I really hope that Jessica’s people aren’t putting this out there, because this makes everyone look idiotic. Of course Gerard Butler does NOT consider Jessica “the one that got away.” He’s probably like “Who?” They maybe had a brief fling. And remember, that was back when he was downing painkillers like candy too. His back was probably killing him. And beyond that… Jessica Biel is oatmeal. Does she inspire such strong feelings in anyone?

Maybe it’s Gerard’s people putting this out. What better way to help change his boozing, womanizing image than to say that he regrets not getting into a serious relationship. Since the woman in question is married there’s no fear of having to actually ever have to in a relationship with her in the future. This way he comes off as looking like one of those romantic comedy character he’s always playing.
1. Can’t hate on the volunteer work in Queens good PR or not the help is much needed.
2. Gerard Butler is one of the few men that can make Justin Timberlake look like marriage material.
Agreed on both. I’m less than a fan (really I could care less about these two), but in this case, they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
1. Yep. I have to stick to my guns – I don’t care why someone is helping, only that they are helping.
2. HA! And you are right about that.
3. (Bonus) I kind of like the jacket but not the boots. I dislike a non-fitted boot with leggings.
1. Really? I can’t. They were obviously there to save their asses, which I find disgusting.
2. Haha! 🙂
I have to agree 100% with Liv on this one. Definitely an obvious PR stunt to try to get back into peoples good books. I’m not buying it and I still think they are disgusting.
Gotta go with Liv on this one as well. Had they contributed money and then handed out backpacks without calling the paps, then maybe I would say, hey they’re helping. Here, it’s so obvious who they were trying to help. Even the Shriners have come to the conclusion that JT is a fake. They dumped him as a celeb contributor because they said he couldn’t be bothered if TV cameras weren’t around.
These two are so obviously greedy, PR hungry whatever they are (I don’t consider either actors and JT is definitely not a musician!) that I Judy can’t find anything good to say about them so I’ll just SFU!
mln, ITA with both. So long as they weren’t acting like divas at the charity site, I think it’s all good.
More like PR relief….
I re-wrote the offending part. Sorry I said the girl is bland. But the girl is bland.
fair enuff
That Gerard Butler story makes Jessica Biel look sad and desperate.
I almost liked the grey coat until I saw the bottom of it. Ewwwww.
Kaiser, oatmeal is the perfect description for Jessica (gag) Timberlake (double gag). I always thought that Lainey’s description of Jennifer Garner as Taupe was hilariously spot on. She actually has kinda grown out of that. But Jessica will never outgrow being Oatmeal. She may digress to something even less bland than Oatmeal (though I can’t imagine what that could be) but she will never be any more than that. I don’t care what movie role you put her in, how many different styles of bangs you give her, or how much makeup you cake on her, it won’t change. On a side note, does else think that her voice relates a ‘not 100% female’ quality to her whole ‘vibe’ or whatever? I’ve always been bothered by her voice and can’t watch any of her movies for that reason.
*correction: something More Bland than Oatmeal.. Ugh.
This is obviously a PR clean up because of that homeless video. Thank God she’s finally growing that god awful fringe out, she’s such a boring person and I absolutely hate saying this about anybody’s marriage but I don’t see them lasting.
Maybe she is trying to grow out her bang trauma but that crap sitting on top of her head is not the way to go about it.
What is that thing on top of her head??????
Bangs trauma control.
She could use some split ends trauma control too.
The story about Gerard Butler being so regretful of the way he treated her, and that she’s the one who “got away” is pretty much the exact storyline of that stupid looking romcom they’re about to start promoting. The studio needs a far more creative marketing department.
With different styling this coat would be great. Plus a shower and hair washing always improves things – she looks like she smells. Pass for volunteering for Sandy relief.
Using people who’ve suffered a disaster to change their image is pretty disgusting, I think. I also think it’s despicable when celebrities use charities by making donations to whitewash their image as well. The motives do matter. This is another example of how people and charity are only there as props.
hope they made a big-a*s donation too.
Biel is a woman that climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for a cause she believed in; I highly doubt she’s spending 3.5 hours handing out backpacks for damage control. And how can you judge a couple for a video they had no part in making what-so-ever?
They hang out with the poor for a day… and then they returned to their rich fancy life style so proud of themselves. Thinking: “Well that was so good. Those poor people were glad to see us helping them. Now that we helped they will fell a little bit better. It feels so good to help. We should try this again”….
You want to help and not look so PR? Then stay there for a week. Don’t show up for 1 hours and put “I’m so serious and concerned” faces for press.
not sure who’s more desperate to over come bad press and do damage contol on their careers.
gerry, or the timberfakes
either way…..they are all superficial self serving douch/es
Nice try douchebag & blandest woman in the world. We still don’t like you.
My guess is that this was made up for publicity for the movie that Jessica and Gerard did that’s coming out now. From the previews, it looks like he’s the guy who messed up the good relationship the two of them have. Someone’s trying to make it look like what happens in the movie happened in real life too, to create intrigue.
