Gerard Butler — Love Him or Leave Him?
Gerard Butler has had a rough couple of weeks — critics panned his film Law Abiding Citizen and his appearance on Saturday Night Live didn't win rave reviews either. On top of everything else, there are rumors about him and Jessica Simpson getting cozy floating around. There is some light at the end of the tunnel though: he just announced in an interview that he'd be joining Shakespeare's Coriolanus with Ralph Fiennes for his next film.
Law Abiding Citizen: Deserves a Death Sentence
Oh, Gerard Butler, what were you thinking? You might be able to forgive the 300 actor for starring in this horror flick disguised as a meaningful thriller, but he also served as producer to help finance the train wreck. Did he not even read the script?
Which SNL Host Are You Most Excited About?
Love her or hate her, Megan Fox is unavoidable these days, and we'll see her yet again tonight hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live. Most of you aren't that psyched to see her flex her comedic muscles, but the great thing about SNL is that there's always a new host just around the corner. Ryan Reynolds, Drew Barrymore, and Gerard Butler will follow Fox this season, so tell me — which of these hosts are you most excited about?
Movie Preview: Gerard Butler in Gamer
Labor Day weekend is still technically Summer, and Gamer, set for release September 4 and starring Gerard Butler, looks like a total Summer action flick. Its concept is kind of disturbing — set in the future, people play a video game called "Slayers" where they manipulate real-life prisoners in battle. Of course, the "soldiers," led by Butler, feel like slaves and it's clear that it's only a matter of time before they break out of the game.
Movie Preview: Foxx, Butler in Law Abiding Citizen
After starring in the romantic comedy The Ugly Truth this Summer, Gerard Butler is doing a complete about-face with Law Abiding Citizen. In the movie, Butler plays "a man who, 10 years after his wife and daughter are brutally murdered, returns to extract justice from the assistant district attorney [Foxx] who prosecuted the case against their killers. His vengeance threatens not only the man who allowed mercy to supersede justice, but also the system and the city that made it so."
The Ugly Truth: A Misogynistic Mess
When reviewing The Ugly Truth, it's impossible to ignore what Katherine Heigl had to say in 2007 about her film Knocked Up: "It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I’m playing such a b*tch; why is she being such a killjoy?
How Well Do You Know Gerard Butler?
Gerard Butler has quickly become one of Hollywood's rising stars, but he's more than just a pretty face. He's proved his range with the variety of characters he's portrayed over the years, trademarking that swoon-worthy smirk in the process. His new movie, The Ugly Truth, hits theaters today, and I thought it would be fun to gear up for the romantic comedy with a little quiz all about Gerard.
Watch, Pass, TiVo or Rent: The Ugly Truth
This Friday we'll see if Katherine Heigl can add another hit romantic comedy to an impressive resume (that already includes Knocked Up and 27 Dresses) when The Ugly Truth hits theaters. Heigl stars as a TV show producer who squares off against the network's hot new relationship correspondent (Gerard Butler). They squabble over courtship ideals — which of course only puts their obvious chemistry and attraction to each other on display.

Movie Preview: Gerard and Katherine in The Ugly Truth
As you can see from this helpful poster, men and women are different. So different that when a "romantically challenged" woman (Katherine Heigl) can't seem to find love, a chauvinistic (though incredibly handsome) buffoon (Gerard Butler) is just the person to instruct her on how to attract a man.
The trailer for The Ugly Truth, a romantic comedy (presumably) about opposites attracting, is actually more amusing than its flimsy premise would have you believe.
