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?

Co-stars Gerard Butler and Jame Foxx were in attendance at the LA premiere of their new film Law Abiding Citizen at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA last night and were each lookin’ fly on the red carpet. Talking to Extra! TV before the premiere, Butler revealed that he shows a bit of nekkid flesh in this new thriller about a man who takes revenge on the murderer of his family. According to Butler, he will be showing off his bare ass … and he sees nothing wrong with doing so:

Here’s a look we like! Gerard Butler tells “Extra” he didn’t mind completely stripping down in the new thriller “Law Abiding Citizen”! “It’s always nice to show a bit of butt,” the handsome actor joked with “Extra’s” Jerry Penacoli at the Hollywood premiere of the film on Tuesday. When Butler’s character is arrested in the flick, he welcomes the cops… with no clothes on. He adds, “I don’t think it was gratuitous. I think there is a good reason for my nakedness in this movie.” If you have been missing Gerard’s abs from “300,” don’t worry. They also make an appearance in “Law Abiding Citizen.” Gerard’s co-star Jamie Foxx praises Butler’s “butt-scene,” saying, “He has to do his whole thing for the ladies, which is great. But that’s when we men go to the concession stand.”

Oh yeah … this is exactly the sort of info I needed to know. I saw the trailer for the film a few times and thought it looked kinda good … I’m not a big Jamie Foxx fan but I love Gerard Butler. Now that we know that he will be strippin’ down in this flick, I know that my interest level has just gone up. In all honesty, Butler is a great actor who can play funny (P.S. I Love You), serious (300) and sexy. It just sounds like this time around he’ll be playing the seriously sexy role … and I can’t wait to see his law abiding buns in action ;)

Here are a few photos of Jennifer Aniston getting busted, handcuffs and all, on the NYC set of her new film The Bounty which is currently in production:

As you can see, it is actor Gerard Butler doing the honors of taking Jen’s character into custody. In The Bounty, Butler plays a bounty hunter named Milo who finds out that his new mission is to apprehend his ex-wife Cassidy (played by Aniston) … well, you can imagine the hilarity that might ensue from such a comical circumstance. Production on the film will continue for some time, here’s hoping we get to see other photos of this pair engaged in various acts of law and disorder.

Stars of the new comedy The Hangover, including Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha, were joined by a few celebrity friends at a screening event for their new movie at the Tribeca Grand Screening Room in NYC last night … an event that was hosted by Details magazine and The Cinema Society. Here are a few photos from the red carpet arrivals last night:

I can’t even express how excited I am to see this movie, which opens in theaters TODAY. I’m not usually a sucker for the obvious comedy movie (you know, the ones that try too hard like anything Will Ferrell puts out) but from the first time I saw this movie trailer in theaters, I knew I wanted to see this flick. Yes it looks like it’s chock full of dumb humor (like those obvious movies I tend to hate) but there seems to be a bit of charm to this one. I continue to laugh out loud every time I see the commercials for this film … it’s bound to be a good time. Because of our traveling today and our commitments tomorrow night, I hoping to see this movie on Sunday. If any of y’all see The Hangover before I do, please let me know what you think. I’m hoping the movie will be as funny as the trailers make it seem.

In the wake of the miraculous survival of Travis Barker (and DJ AM) from a fiery plane crash that claimed the lives of four people, there was much discussion about ex-wife Shanna Moakler’s undying devotion to her injured ex-husband. There were reports that Shanna vowed to “not leave” Travis Barker’s side and that she was “totally devoted” to him. Travis, himself, has taken to his official My Space profile blog to refute those claims just days before Shanna was photographed putting the moves on actor Gerard Butler at Shin nightclub:

New couple alert? Shanna Moakler and Gerard Butler were photographed getting cozy at the Hollywood opening of Shin nightclub on Monday. Throughout the night, Butler also served guests drinks behind the bar. At one point, a patron told him, “Thanks,” and he said, “I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing.” Both did not talk to press.

But Travis Barker is talking, specifically about the fact that his ex-wife was not keeping vigil by his side while he recuperated from his injuries as has been widely reported:

Travis Barker may be in the hospital – but he’s got a bone to pick with his ex-wife. The Blink-182 drummer expressed his “deepest thanks” to fans via his MySpace page for their support during his recovery from a deadly plane crash in September. But the 32-year-old also took a brief time-out to jab at ex-wife Shanna Moakler, who reportedly has been by his side since the ordeal. “Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, I’ve been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and an Georgia,” Barker wrote … Moakler was photographed in tears – and oddly wearing a ring on that special finger – outside Barker’s Augusta, Ga., hospital on Sept. 22 … Barker, who says he’s now able to move his fingers on his right hand, later deleted the diss from his MySpace Celebrity blog, but left the message up on his actual MySpace page.

You know, I’ve never been a big Shanna Moakler fan and this sorta seals the deal for me. There was never any expectation that Shanna should be faithfully by Travis’s side in the wake of his accident but I was impressed that she was there … at least, that was what we were led to believe. I recall seeing photos of Shanna flashing her ring and I thought, how nice that she is there and still seems devoted to him. Hearing from Travis himself that it was all a sham, most likely to make her look better, is pretty disgusting to me. Why in the world would she choose to exploit such a horrible tragedy just to make herself look good? Seeing these new photos of Shanna trying to mack on Gerard Butler really shows how her “devotion” to Travis seems to have waned … if it existed at all. I am very heartened to hear from Travis that he is doing better and is recovering well. I don’t think I need to hear anything from or about Shanna Moakler ever again.

Here are a few pics from the UK premiere of Guy Ritchie’s new movie RocknRolla which stars Gerard Butler and Thandie Newton (among others) and which premiered at the Odeon West End in London, England last night:

The way I understand it, the movie involves a bunch of shady folk trying to get their hands on some money put up for grabs by a Russian mobster or some such nonsense. As usual, it sounds like a Ritchie original. I will say this for the man, he really knows how to create interesting characters in his movies. The movies themselves don’t always have the kind of cohesiveness that make them great but they are generally worth seeing … well, except for his movie Swept Away, which starred his wife Madonna. That movie should not be seen by anyone, under any circumstances. And speaking of Madge, I think it was quite sporting of her to take a break from her Sticky & Sweet World Tour to come out for the movie premiere last night. She is such a good wife. Makes you feel kinda silly if you believed any of those break-up rumors, right? RocknRolla opens in theaters in early October.

Here are a couple pics of Hottie McHotster Gerard Butler walking the streets of SoHo in NYC yesterday afternoon givin’ the world a peek of his fuzzy belly:

Yeah, that’s all I got … he’s a big hunk of sexy man. Ain’t it wonderful what a small gust of wind can do for one’s disposition? Er, I’m talking about my happy disposition, not Gerard’s seemingly grumpy one. Yummo!
