Machine Gun Preacher, which is currently in theaters, stars Gerard Butler as Sam Childers, a man who turned his life around and helped build an orphanage in Nimule, South Sudan.
13 years later, Sam's orphanage is going strong with more than 200 children calling it home, but there is still work to be done considering most people in the region don't have access to clean water, food, or medicine. ]]>
Add Gerard Butler to the list of the beautiful people celebrities who have spent the last week in the South of France. Butler got a little R & R in this weekend after spending much of last week at the Cannes Film Festival, airkissing actresses and slathering on suntan oil.
Thursday night, Gerry suited up for the annual amfAR Cinema Against Aids gala at the Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc in Cap Antibes, France, where Lady Gaga performed after her own romp on a yacht just off the coast. When asked about his lifestyle at the event, he relied, “I’m not exactly Mr. Values. Life is about enjoying yourself and that’s what I do.” We couldn't agree more! ]]>
It's the buttgrab felt 'round the world, as rumors of a romance between The Bounty Hunter co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler are fueled by a sneaky photographer who caught Butler alleging having some fun with Aniston during a film event. To their defense, it was a romantic evening, as the duo completed their press junket stop in Paris with a private yacht cruise on the Seine River.
Jennifer just can't catch a break with boys, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a similarly stimulating evening on the Seine. The yacht on which they floated, the ACTE III, is available for rent as an alternative to the tourist-cramped Bateaux-Mouches. The ACTE III can hold 2-40 people and trips begin at 150 Euro per person for an evening with an aperitif and dancing.

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler are getting cozy on the big screen in The Bounty Hunter, which opens nationwide today. Gerry and Jen filmed the movie in and around New York City last summer but instead using the typical midtown Manhattan locales, much of the movie was shot outside of the city, in Brooklyn or in the Bronx.
In the film, Gerard plays a bounty hunter hired to bring in his ex-wife, a reporter played by Jennifer Aniston. The action-packed chase scenes are the ones that drew Aniston the script. "It has a fun road-chase aspect. It's a fun action/comedy. It's not a traditional romantic comedy," she recently explained. ]]>
Today, we have an update on “Law Abiding Citizen” starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. They are currently filming at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware County, Penn. The prison plays a central role in the movie as the plot revolves around a D.A. (Foxx) who accepts a plea bargain to release the killers of another man’s family (Butler). After the murderers are released, Gerard Butler’s character seeks personal justice from the D.A. “Law Abiding Citizen” wraps up filming at the prison today.
On the west coast, “Numb3rs” is filming at the California Institute of Technology, 1200 California Blvd, Pasadena, Calif. Caltech is a private research university that also manages the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a NASA department overseeing several unnamed space probes. Caltech seems like a perfect location for the show’s resident geek, Charlie Eppes. If you want to visit the campus as a potential student or novice geek, you can take a tour each weekday during the school year at 11:15 a.m.

"Law Abiding Citizen", starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is filming in the courtyard of Philadelphia City Hall at 1600 Arch St today. The movie, which started shooting this week, is about a guy who decides to take justice into his own hands after his family’s killer is set free.
We have heard that so far only Jamie Foxx has been on set but he has been talking and posing with waiting fans. Props, plants, trucks and lights are set up on the lawn of City Hall, a sign they are planning on being there for a while. Local media outlets are reporting they will be at the location through at least the end of the week.
Philadelphia has been the backdrop for dozens of movies like "12 Monkeys", "National Treasure", "In Her Shoes", "Beloved" and of course, "Rocky". The city now offers a “Philadelphia In The Movies” Tour. Stops along the route include the Striped Bass Restaurant ("Sixth Sense"), the Philadelphia Museum of Art ("Rocky") and City Hall ("12 Monkeys"). It also provides riders with plenty of behind-the-scenes gossip, trivia and anecdotes. You can book a tour for any group through Philadelphia’s Convention and Visitors site.

More efficient than marching: "300"'s Gerard Butler was spotted yesterday hopping off an Amtrak train at Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. Toting his own rolling bag and laptop, the actor is in town to film a thriller with Michael Gambon and Jamie Foxx called "Law Abiding Citizen."
You don't have to be a celebrity to ride Amtrak, but you may have trouble getting a seat anyway: Amtrak reported in October that nearly 3 million more people climbed aboard in fiscal year 2008, the sixth straight year when ridership went up. The fastest growing train: The Maine-to-Boston Downeaster.
While the stats didn't break down by month, we're guessing the bulk of those riders were over the summer, when soaring gas prices forced Americans to contemplate a life with less driving. Thank goodness we'll never have to worry about that again!
