The release of the highly-anticipated 300 sequel has been pushed back until 2014.

300: Rise of an Empire, the follow-up to Gerard Butler's 2007 comic book epic, was set to hit cinemas in August (13), but chiefs at Warner Bros. studios have decided to stall the release by seven months.

The film will now be shown next spring, at the same time of year as the release of the original, which proved a surprise hit for the company.

Warners' president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman explains the decision, saying, "Moving 300: Rise of an Empire to March 7 continues in the tradition of the fir...

While filming new action movie Olympus Has Fallen, Gerard Butler broke two bones in his neck without even knowing it. The actor performed most of the stunts in the film and recently admitted the project was very difficult on his body.

He told Jay Leno, "I was hit with a bullet casing in the eye, I ripped off a fingernail, banged up my knee... I used to sing, well that's debatable, but I lost my high notes and I went to the doctor and he said I had a serrated voice box... That was about a year ago. So I went back about a month ago and he looked down again and he said, 'You got a growth in y...

You'd have to be living under a rock to not know about Olympus Has Fallen, between its big-name cast and the huge promotional campaign that's been everywhere for the last month. This, though, is one of those rare cases where the hype is justified, because this is one of those big pictures - in every sense of the word - that we go to the movies for.

Olympus does not reinvent the action movie. It is not going to make you think too much about it after it's over. This isn't one of those flicks, but it doesn't claim to be one, either. It's a massive, violent, loud, unflinching one-man-wrecking-...

Gerard Butler did indeed fool around with reality TV star Brandi Glanville, even though he once claimed he didn't know who she was.

Glanville, who was once married to Eddie Cibrian and has famously butted heads with his wife LeAnn Rimes, told Howard Stern last year that Butler was an 11 out of 10 in bed.

The actor has since come forward to confess he hooked up with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star during a beach party. However, she didn't tell him what she did for a living, and he didn't know her last name.

Butler, 43, recalled, "We hung out, we had a bit of fun and then sudde...

Gerard Butler is suing producers behind his ill-fated film Motor City over allegations he wasn't paid for the failed project.

The thriller, which was set to co-star Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke, was called off by executives two weeks before the shoot was due to begin last year.

Butler's lawyers have now filed suit against production companies Emmett/Furla Films and Motor City Productions, claiming the actor is owed $5.1 million.

The 300 hunk allegedly signed a 'pay-or-play' contract, which meant he would be paid even if the movie didn't get made, according to his lawsuit obtained by...

With “Playing for Keeps” ready to hit theaters on December 7, we thought it would be a great time to bask in the sexy glow of Scottish star Gerard Butler.

Jessica Biel, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Uma Thurman also star, but we’re all about Mr. Butler – and here’s five fun reasons why.

Jessica Biel and Gerard Butler have a new movie coming out. But allegedly, the two actors were more than just co-workers while shooting the film.

According to RadarOnline, the two reportedly had a relationship during filming of Playing for Keeps. Since Biel just married Justin Timberlake, the timeline doesn't seem to work out at first glance, but filming happened while Biel and Timberlake were broken up in 2011.

It looks like the 42-year-old Butler may be having regrets about splitting with the actress.

"Gerard doesn't have many regrets, but not treating Jessica with the respect she dese...

Gerard Butler has spoken out for the first time about his period in rehab earlier this year, insisting he is "glad" he sought help to kick his prescription drug habit.

The Scottish actor enrolled at the Betty Ford Center in California back in February after developing a dependence on pain pills following a surfing accident on the set of his movie Chasing Mavericks.

Butler spent several weeks in treatment and now admits he learned a lot from the experience, including how to manage pain properly.

He tells Men's Journal magazine, "Maybe a stronger person wouldn't have needed to go... Whe...

If you ask us, if Movie 43 is just half as funny as the trailer, it's destined to be a classic. We have no idea what it's about, other than it's actually 25 short films helmed by several different directors including Peter Farrelly, Elizabeth Banks, Bob Odenkirk, Brett Ratner and Griffin Dunne, and it features a huge, HUGE cast of A-list stars.

The film's greenband trailer (e.g.: approved-for-all-audiences) premiered during Tuesday night's episode of Tosh.0 on Comedy Central; and on Wednesday the very not-safe-for-work (NSFW) red-band trailer debuted on the network's website (according to...

Scottish movie star Gerard Butler has found love with Romanian model/actress Madalina Ghenea, according to a report.

The 300 hunk reportedly fell for the European beauty when she was hired to help Butler promote a new razor for the Dubai-based Super Max brand this spring.

The couple was first rumored to be romantically involved in May, but Ghenea played down the claims at the time, stating, "Gerard is a friend of mine. We are friends and nothing more."

However, the New York Daily News reports the relationship has since developed into something more intimate, with a source telling the ...

Ralph Fiennes' directorial debut, "Coriolanus," scripted by John Logan, updates one of William Shakespeare's more difficult plays without sacrificing the Bard's original dialogue.

Set in modern times, the movie stars Fiennes as the title character, a fierce General able to fight Rome's most dreaded enemies as well as quell civil unrest from a lack of food. When politicians convince Coriolanus to become a political leader, his natural fierceness and lack of political instincts lead to him being disgraced by other politicians and eventually forced to leave Rome after being branded a ...

Sacha Baron Cohen brings his trademark ridicu-shock humor to his new film "The Dictator," but it may be his beard that steals the show.

He plays Admiral General Aladeen, deposed dictator of the (fictional) Republic of Wadiya, who flees to the U.S. when his country converts to democracy. As a dictator, he's used to ruling with an iron fist, an incorrigible sense of righteous cruelty, and a thick, bushy beard that could house several terrified baby sparrows.

Aladeen may feel like a fish out of water in New York City, but he'd feel right at home among Hollywood's most magnificent beards of a...

The web has been buzzing since yesterday after the Fox network announced it was launching a new dating show with celebrities in spinning chairs.

"The Choice" will feature stars going on blind dates and choosing their partners by listening to them with their backs turned towards them. It's a take on NBC's popular singing competition "The Voice." It's also reminiscient of "The Dating Game," which ran from 1965-86 on ABC.

A celebrity will pull on a "love handle" to turn arouond and and come face-to-face with his date. If more than one star turns, the contestant chooses who to go on a dat...

Katy Perry attended the Coachella festival on Saturday wearing a transparent 60s style dress, combat boots and sunglasses. The pop star didn't seem to care that fans could see her black bra and grandma underwear.

A bunch of celebrities attended the event this weekend. Reality star and socialite Paris Hilton wore a white bikini top as she walked around the grounds. She attended the festival with Dutch DJ boyfriend Afrojack and friend Brandon Davis.

Adrien Brody is still waiting to take tea with Gerard Butler after winning the "date" at a charity auction.

Brody bid $15,000 for the odd item last year at a fundraiser to build a school in Haiti - and he's still waiting for a call from the 300 star.

Brody says, "I attended a charity function for Artists for Peace & Justice and one of the things they were auctioning off was tea with Gerry Butler, which I thought was really interesting, so I thought, 'Why not?' I had the winning bid and I've yet to have tea with Gerry Butler. He has not fulfilled his obligation... I paid thousands and thou...

Gerard Butler's acting career appears to be back on track after his recent rehab stint - he will replace Eric Bana in diamond heist thriller "Brilliant."

Butler began 2012 battling a painkiller addiction, but he recently checked out of a treatment facility and is now keen to get back to work.

He'll team up with his "Ugly Truth" director Robert Luketic to headline the new movie, according to Variety.

Filming is set to start in Massachusetts in May.

Gerard Butler returned to the party circuit in Hollywood on Saturday night just days after news of his recent rehab stint became public.

The Scot recently completed a three-week program at California's Betty Ford Center for a prescription drug issue, but he wasn't about to avoid the pre-Oscars celebrations completely, and showed up solo at The Weinstein Company's SoHo House bash in West Hollywood.

Gerard also made an official post-rehab public appearance on Sunday by attending the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles.

Last week, a representative for Butler confirmed reports the ...

Scottish actor Gerard Butler has spent the last three weeks in rehab to address substance abuse issues, according to a report.

The star allegedly started struggling with pain medication as he battled to recover from injuries he suffered on the set of 2006 movie 300 and his problems were exacerbated after he was hurt in a surfing accident during filming of his latest project, Of Men and Mavericks.

He checked himself into the Betty Ford clinic in California three weeks ago to address his addiction issues, according to TMZ.com, and is now due to be released.

Gerard Butler once caused an airport security scare after officials flagged up special shoes he had worn for his Tomb Raider audition.

The Scottish actor was stopped by security guards who were suspicious of the boots he wore when he tried out for his role alongside Angelina Jolie in the 2003 blockbuster Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.

He tells Shortlist magazine, "Just after the shoe bomber plot in 2001, I flew to London from Montreal to do a screen test for Lara Croft. They'd built this caged floor for the set but they couldn't hear my dialogue properly so they put felt on...

Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville has confessed to enjoying a "week of fun" with hunk Gerard Butler last summer.

The reality TV star was quizzed about her love life during an appearance on talk show "Watch What Happens Live!" on Monday night - and confirmed reports she dated Scottish actor Butler.

She said, "It wasn't a one-nighter, it was just a week of fun... It was over the summer."

And Glanville didn't stop there - after some prompting by host Andy Cohen, she went on to rate Butler's performance in the bedroom an impressive 11 out of 10.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"...

The Golden Globes are the first big awards show of the season, and the stars came out in colorful ensembles to attend one of Hollywood's most prestigious events leading up to the Academy Awards.

There were very few fashion missteps at this year's event. "Homeland" actress Morena Baccarin wore a daring black dress that showed quite a bit of cleavage (is that appropriate?), while "Ringer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar took a chance with a blue and white tie-dyed gown (too bohemian?).

There wasn't a lot of flash on the red carpet. Few stars wore sequins (Laura Dern, Madonna, Diane Lane and did)...

Australian actor Sam Worthington has defended his recent weight gain, insisting his paunch is "healthy" and "human".

The Avatar star was photographed earlier this week on a beach in Hawaii sporting a fuller figure and the pictures were published with a headline containing the phrase "Clash of the Xmas puddings," a reference to his role in action movie Clash of the Titans.

However, Worthington is adamant he is proud of his bulging belly, as he "hates" working out at a gym and is happy to have normal body issues.

He tells News.com.au, "Clash of the Xmas puddings, that's good. I like it....

Gerard Butler was left blushing at his sister's wedding after accidentally flashing his manhood while wearing a traditional Scottish kilt.

The star performed a reading at his sibling's marriage ceremony and he accidentally diverted the attention away from the bride by revealing all.

He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I wore a kilt in my sister's wedding in Paisley, Scotland and I had to go up and do a reading and my mother and family were in the front row.

"As you know in Scotland there's a certain rule to wear a kilt so I'm sitting like this (legs open) and everyone's leaning ...

Gerard Butler attempted to avoid hospital treatment after an on-set surfing accident last month so he could continue filming his new movie.

The star was shooting "Of Men And Mavericks" in northern California when a large wave brought him crashing down, leaving him struggling to keep his head above the water.

Butler was taken to Stanford University Medical Center, but he had to be convinced by movie bosses to seek medical assistance.

He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "I was going to go back that day. I was actually in the ambulance and wanted to go back, which was a little crazy...

Actor Gerard Butler was hospitalized over the weekend when a surfing stunt for upcoming movie Of Men And Mavericks went wrong.

The 300 star was filming in northern California when a large wave brought him crashing down, leaving him struggling to keep his head above the water.

Surfer Frank Quirarte writes in a post on his ESPN Action Sports blog, "Butler was held down for a solid two-waves and took four or five more waves on the head. He was then washed through the rocks on the inside before he was finally able to be plucked out."

"When they brought Butler in he had that 100-yard stare ...
