There were lots of little pieces of Gerard Butler news and quotes, so I’m just putting it all together for all of us Butler-holics. Over the winter, Gerard filmed Law Abiding Citizen with Jamie Foxx in Philadelphia. At the time, Philadelphia went a little loony for Gerry, especially when it came to those reports that he was wandering around town naked, which still gives me a hot flash. The film is due out in October, and the director just released the teaser posters. They’re pretty hot. You know it’s going to be a good movie when the poster is just Gerry’s big head. According to Cinema Blend, the film is about: “An everyday guy decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets his family’s killers free. His target: The district attorney who orchestrated the deal. Judging from the posters looks like Gerard Butler is the everyday guy and Jamie Foxx the DA he’s after.” Sweet. Lets keep our fingers crossed that there’s a lot of nudity.
Meanwhile, Gerard’s promotional duties for The Ugly Truth have pretty much come to a close. He and Katherine Heigl were all over the place for that film, and it’s paid off. The film is a solid success in America, and it’s beating out G.I. Joe in Europe. E! also reported that Butler and Heigl have a fan in Bill Clinton, who asked the studio to deliver a copy of the film, which he got. Bubba’s a closet Heigl fan, I bet. Either that or he totally relates to Gerry’s womanizing character.
Last week, Gerry gave a really unfortunate quote to Fox News. I’m still upset about it actually, because it makes Gerry sound like a tool. When asked what he was looking for in a lady, Gerry said, “I couldn’t actually tell you because it’s different in each woman, but by the way part of it is being smart and part of it is being dumb… Sometimes along the way in my life I don’t want a smart woman right now, I want a dumb woman. But then you think, that doesn’t work, now I want a smart woman. Then you get a smart woman and you go no, that doesn’t work so it’s just killing me right now.” Gah! I hate this so much, because Gerry is verbalizing something I fear most men think – something along the lines of “Smart women are a challenge to my masculinity, and they’re not worth the effort.” Of course, Gerry is also verbalizing something I fear about him all the time – that he’s an idiot. He also spoke to Red Magazine about his dreams for settling down:
Scottish actor Gerard Butler longs to get married and have children – but fears he has left it too late to settle down.
The 300 star turns 40 in November and is currently single. Butler recently admitted his love life is “pretty miserable” because he has problems finding a suitable mate. And he is convinced he needs to sort his relationship issues out soon – before misses his chance at marriage.
He tells Britain’s Red magazine, “I would love to have a wife and kids, but you can’t magic them out of thin air. I’ve never been that ‘seven-year relationship’ kind of guy. (But I’m ready) for the big relationship. I guess I’ve got to settle down soon, but I’m nervous to say it out loud because it might not happen.”

So maybe he’s not an idiot. Maybe he’s just waiting to find me! I’m equal parts dumb and smart, and as I’ve previously stated, I would marry him and get pregnant in a raunchy Scottish second.
In the last piece of Gerard news (and I realize this is an exhaustive, but really, there were many little pieces of news), Gerry was talking more about his dating history. I think these quotes might be from that same Red magazine interview, because they came out the same day. Gerry is discussing some of his more disastrous dates, and he says: “I’ve had some terrible dates. I had a girl throw up once – I’m from Glasgow, people like to get smashed. I went on another date and I ended up getting so drunk that I smashed a glass on my head as a joke and didn’t realise my head was bleeding. Those were my crazy days. I also went on a date once and at the end the girl went to the toilet, so I went to the toilet too but when she came out she thought I’d left and went. That was a pretty abrupt end to a date.” I’m starting to understand a bit more about why Gerry is still single. If these are what his dates are like, he needs me!
