Gerard Butler pulled a little prank in Berlin, Germany this week in what appears to be an homage to the late Michael Jackson. As you can see from the photos below, Butler wrapped up a potted plant in a hotel towel to make it look like a baby which he, then, dangled outside his hotel window above the street below … just like MJ did with his own son Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket in his own hotel in Berlin many years ago:

Gerard Butler paid tribute to Michael Jackson yesterday by dangling a fake baby out the window of his London hotel room. Aw, remember when M.J. did that with a real baby in Berlin? Memories… Anyway, Gerry’s fake baby is actually a plant wrapped in a towel, and he looks a little too pleased with himself. You can just tell he’s high-fiving himself in his head for coming up with such an epically funny stunt that’s actually pretty lame. And that is what we find amusing.

Yeah … I dunno if Gerard was going for funny or if he was just lookin’ for attention but it seems so odd that he would do this. I, personally, think the joke would’ve been funnier if it had been executed while MJ was still alive … cuz, let’s be honest, MJ‘s decision to dangle his baby outside a hotel window was NOT one of the high points of his career. But now that MJ is gone, well, I don’t think the joke is funny anymore. That is not to say that I am offended by this little gag … it’s just … weird. What to y’all think … funny?
