Jennifer Aniston resumed clinging to Gerard Butler’s thigh like a three-year old who doesn’t want to go to bed at the New York premiere of the “The Bounty Hunter” last night. The Daily Mail says

There was an element to the night which was far more predictable – her over-the-top display of friendly affection with co-star Gerrard Butler.

It’s a familiar sight for seasoned red carpet watchers, who have seen [her] put on similar displays at the U.K. premiere in London last week and as far back as the Golden Globes in January.

It has lead skeptics to brand the union a ‘showmance’ – a fake romance designed to generate buzz about the movie, which by early accounts, needs all the help it can get to achieve box office success.

I, for one, don’t think Jen is staging these pics to heighten interest in her predictably shitty movie. Not at all. I think she’s staging these pics for maximum photoshop-potential later on, like in the header, where she could easily photoshop a wedding dress on herself and icing and cake crumbs around her mouth, and Gerard could be holding a piece of wedding cake that he just shoved in her mouth, and she could caption it, “Ooh, this guy right here!” and put little hearts and wedding bell stickers all around it. Most of us don’t scrapbook our imaginary weddings, so we really can’t be expected understand how it works.
