Aniston dating Gerard Butler?
By Ruth Doherty on Thursday 18 September 2008
Jennifer Aniston, it seems, likes swapping boyfriends with another hot hollywood singleton: Cameron Diaz. This time? It's Gerard Butler, according to US reports.
After splitting with her boyfriend of four months, John Mayer - who previously dated Diaz after she split from Justin Timberlake - insiders say Jen is back in the dating game, and has set her sights on 300 hunk Gerard, who also recently enjoyed a few dates with Cameron.
Jen and Gerard were seen flirting at a bar during the Toronto Film Festival, where Aniston was promoting her new movie, Management, and Butler was there for the world premiere of his new Guy Ritchie film, RocknRolla.
And an onlooker spotted the pair enjoying each other's company at the Park Hyatt Roof Lounge after the screening of Aniston's movie. The source told InTouch Weekly: 'They immediately made eye contact. They had instant chemistry.'
Another partygoer said: 'It didn’t take Gerard and Jen long to gravitate to one another. When they came together, it was all hugs and smiles.
'She was playing with her hair and acting coy.
'At one point, Gerard had his hand on her thigh and was whispering in her ear.'
Then, according to the Daily Mail, after spending most of the evening together, the pair left at the same time, with Butler rubbing Jen's shoulders and kissing her on the head.
Jen's possible new love interest comes just weeks after splitting from musician John Mayer, who spoke about his split from Jen in a video interview, saying: 'Have me as a man who ended a relationship stand here and write some truth.
'Have me stand up for somebody and write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest, most sophisticated person I think I've ever met.
'She's one of the most lovely people I've ever met in my life and I'm going through something that's a very personal thing and you have to give that up...
'There's no lying, there's no cheating. There's no nothing. People are different, they have different chemistry, they have different lives.
'I ended a relationship because there is no lying. I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right. I don't waste people's time.'
How noble. Looks like Jen's moving onwards and upwards with buff Butler, anyway.
Meanwhile, Cameron Diaz is happily enjoying a new relationship with Brit model, Paul Sculfor who, last year, funnily enough, enjoyed a series of dates with, yes, you guessed it, Jennifer Aniston.
It's a small world...

Both have said that there is NOTHING going on between them. He is interested in possibly working together nothing more.

I hope Jennifer Aniston has finally found her true love. John Mayer was too young and childish. Gerard Butler is more her age and much better looking than Brad. Go Jen! Gerard don't break her heart!!!

How long is this rumor going to fly around and how many sites/mags, etc. are going to print it before someone decides to be a real reporter and attempts to actually substantiate it? Everyone knows it isn't true, but it seems only MSNBC and US Magazine (of all the publications . . .) decided to make an attempt at real journalism with the following:
"It was the thigh touch heard ’round the world. Gerard Butler allegedly had his hand on Jennifer Aniston’s thigh during a Sept. 7 party at the Toronto International Film Festival, and the alleged grazing sparked rumors the two are dating. But a source says the relationship is all business for now. Butler, who’s been linked to Cameron Diaz, is interested in “working with Jen, but nothing more,†Us Weekly reports. An Aniston source confirms a similar sentiment to Us. “She and Gerard met for two minutes in Toronto. It was just a brief hello.â€
And btw, Butler has said many times in the press that he never dated Diaz either, and yet even a "legit" news source (I use the phrase loosely) made the decision to link him with her yet again in the above piece.
It goes to show, lies are more interesting than the truth. Don't believe anything you read.

I agree with Lisa, both have said there is nothing going on. Gerry is a very friendly guy who loves touch and put people at ease.
