Gerard Butler is determined not to fall in love with movie co-stars after his previous on-set dalliances ended in "disaster".

The Scottish hunk has been linked to a string of Hollywood beauties, including his The Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz.

But Butler has ruled out dating a fellow star during filming ever again, insisting it's too easy to become infatuated with an actress while at work.

He says, "That's a dangerous path. When you're making a film with someone, you get to know them very well indeed and it's too easy to develop a sort of obsession with them tha...

Fans are having interesting reactions to People Magazine's selection of Bradley Cooper as Sexiest Man Alive. Some good and some confused. I'm hearing talk of a facebook group requesting a recall of the winner. Some actors have having their fans go into overdrive posting on the internet how People got it wrong. Here are some possible candidates should People do a California recall on Bradley Cooper:

Michael Fassbender: Cooper is cute but Fassbender is like Adonis! Ironically, they got the wrong Cooper. Fassbender is Cooper in German. Maybe its a mix up?

Gerard Butler: This is Scotland's ...

You awaken to a rabid 8 year old viciously chewing on your husband’s neck. A dark army, more than a million strong, bears down upon you and your kingdom. A masked man breaks in during the night and throws you out a window. A giant samurai statue engages you in battle, all the while feathery, cartoon owls fly around you. You are in the strange and violent world of Zack Snyder. Hang on; you’re in for a wild ride.

Zack Snyder, the director of the upcoming Superman reboot Man of Steel, has had the strangest start to a career of any director in recent memory. Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen, Le...

Gerard Butler was spurred on to lose weight after unflattering pictures of him relaxing on vacation hit the headlines.

The Scottish star, who famously bulked up to play a Spartan warrior in 300, stunned film fans recently by sporting a slender new look to portray surfing icon Rick 'Frosty' Hesson in new film Mavericks - but Butler admits he had another motive to drop the weight.

He tells CNN talk show host Piers Morgan, "I saw those photos and that changed me. I changed my life actually. I was on holiday with a buddy down in Barbados... I was taking some time off and I was eating more and...

I respect this film. I respect this film so much; I will not go on one of my idiotic rants or raves like I normally do. It’s not to say I don’t respect other films I’ve watched and/or reviewed, I do… It’s just from the start, Director, Marc Forster engages the audience within a realm I imagine most of us are familiar with, yet, not too in-tune when it comes to the realities which are going on, as we speak, on the other side of this big blue marble we share. The opening scene commands a large degree of respect, and what ties in after, takes us on such a deep, depressing, ride of realities… A...

Gerard Butler is tired of defending his weight gain and loss for film roles, insisting critics should appreciate his dedication.

The Scottish star famously bulked up to play a Spartan warrior in "300" and he stunned film fans recently by sporting a slender new look to portray surfing icon Rick 'Frosty' Hesson in new film "Mavericks."

But he wishes everyone was more focused on his performances than his physique.

Butler tells HollyScoop.com, "They (critics and gossips) love to get involved in things like that. It would be nice if they appreciated it.

"I go through all that work and do it ...

Adrenalin junkie Gerard Butler has spent the summer learning how to surf and fly a helicopter.

The 300 star took off in a paraglider during a holiday in the Swiss Alps and that appears to have fuelled his love for adventure.

He has now taken to the surf and the skies for new heart-pounding challenges, He says, "This has actually been the summer of adventure. I've been learning to fly a helicopter. Learning to surf. You should see me trying to fly a helicopter; I mean that feels pretty dangerous."

Gerard Butler had a sobering experience filming new action movie Machine Gun Preacher in South Africa - two crew members were killed during the shoot.

The star plays a reformed drug dealer who starts an orphanage for war-torn kids in Sudan, and he admits the entire cast put their lives at risk to film on location.

The Scottish actor tells the New York Post, "I'm from Glasgow, a tough city. I've been in Africa before. Kenya. We filmed in South Africa not the Sudan, which isn't safe. Two of our people died there while filming. We had carjackings, accidents."

Gerard Butler has laughed off concerns over his recent weight loss, revealing he has been on a strict diet in preparation to play a surfer.

The hunky 300 star has been shedding pounds from his muscular figure in recent months, sparking upset among his female fans, but the Scottish actor is adamant there is no need to worry about his health, putting his new lean look down to a vigorous pre-filming routine.

He tells EOnline.com, "If I wear a long shirt, everyone says 'Oh my God, he lost so much weight!' But this is how I look. I just used to be a lot bigger. But now I'm surfing. I'm doing...

We spotted Gerard Butler at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association annual installation luncheon in Beverly Hills yesterday. The "300" star is slightly thinner than we've seen him in recent years, and his hair is also noticeably lighter.

The actor has reportedly slimmed down (as if he was big in the first place!) for his role in surfer flick "Mavericks." Based on a true story, Butler plays the mentor to soul surfer Jay Moriarity, who died at age 23 in 2001 from an apparent free-diving accident.

When Gerard Butler wants to kick butt, he's fully capable of doing so. The proof's in the pudding: "300," "RocknRolla," "Gamer" - all prime examples of the man's innate action star qualities.

But when he wants to get cuddly-wuddly and romance beautiful women, he makes it happen. Thus, his double life as a rom-com star, appearing in movies like "P.S. I Love You," "The Ugly Truth," "The Bounty Hunter" and now "Playing the Field," which Variety has announced will co-star the beautiful Jessica Biel and Uma Thurman.

Gerard Butler has less luck with the ladies now he's a celebrity - because he's more "paranoid" and less sociable than he was pre-fame.

The 300 hunk has been linked to a number of Hollywood beauties over the years, including his The Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston and troubled actress Lindsay Lohan.

However, despite his reputation as a Lothario, the Scot insists he gets less action now he's well known, because he drinks less and doesn't trust women not to kiss and tell.

Hit animated children's film "How to Train Your Dragon" is roaring back to the big screen - movie executives are planning a 3-D sequel for 2013.

The DreamWorks picture, which featured characters voiced by Gerard Butler, Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera, fired up the worldwide box office when it was released earlier this year, banking almost $500 million globally.

And studio bosses are hoping to take another swing at the box office takings when the second installment of the Viking tale hits cinemas in three years' time.

Tomb Raider model Alison Carroll showed quite a bit of leg at the premiere of "The Kid" in London on Wednesday. In fact, the headline shouldn't read 'hot legs,' it should read hottest legs! The thigh-high slit on her blue dress was so steep, it had to be held together with safety pins!

Despite Alison being the real-life model that represents the video game heroine, it seems like each year there's a new rumor of who will take over the role from Angelina Jolie, who starred as the sexy Brit in the 2001 feature and it's sequel in 2003, "Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life."

In 2009 it was Megan ...
