14 DAY TRIAL // Ever since she split from husband Brad Pitt, former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston has frequently held the headlines for her personal life or what was her supposed personal life, better said. The actress is now filming “The Bounty” with Gerard Butler and, as expected, the tabloid media has linked her romantically with him since day one of shooting. According to insiders, it’s all just a ploy to keep Aniston’s name in the papers.
Sources close to Jennifer tell Us Magazine that, while the dating-Gerard part is definitely true, it’s not necessarily because she’s head over heels in love with him, but rather because she always seeks out the most famous male celebrities to date. This helps keep her profile up as well, spies claim, which means it’s the perfect way to keep her relevant with the glossy magazines and the tabloid media.
“Jennifer won’t date a normal guy. She goes after the hottest thing of the moment, what she knows will get her the most time in the spotlight.” the insider explains for the aforementioned magazine. More time in the spotlight, even for such insignificant reasons as aspects of her personal life, also means more publicity for whatever film she’s promoting or making at the moment, speculation also has it. At the same time, it also offers Jennifer some form of assurance that she won’t slip off the celebrity map anytime soon.
Of course, if the above report is accurate, it would also mean that the one that has Jennifer dating co-star Gerard is also true and, so far, no confirmation has been made in this sense. Reports of the two actors getting very cozy on the set of the film when the cameras were not rolling and even stepping out on a semi-date have, indeed, been making the rounds on the Internet, but they have never been officially confirmed by none of the parties involved.
Quite on the contrary, Butler himself rubbished all speculation of romantic involvement with Aniston a while back, when he joked on Conan O’Brian about their marriage plans. “We’re very much in love. Especially her [Aniston]. We’re actually going to tie the knot next Tuesday. And then on Saturday, I’m marrying Cameron Diaz. Joan Rivers will be the next weekend.” Gerard joked back then, as we also informed you at the time.
