According to Star, Reese Witherspoon and Gerard Butler might be having “secret hookups”:
“Reese’s friends are giggling about her secretly meeting up with Gerard. She thinks he’s superhot!” a friend of the actress told Star. “Reese is just having a good time with him. They’ve hung out a few times, mostly at his place in L.A.”
The two showed an interest in each other after producers at New Line Cinema approached them a few months ago to read scripts together for a new movie. “New Line thought Reese and Gerard would make a hot on-screen couple,” said the friend.
“They got very chatty while reading the scripts, and there was noticeable chemistry. After that reading, they started talking and hanging out.”
They most recently met up on Jan. 22 at an after party for the Hope for Haiti Now fund-raiser at L.A.’s Sunset Tower Hotel. But the friend says that Reese, 33, isn’t looking for anything serious with the 40-year-old actor, especially since she still cares for ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.
“Reese doesn’t want to hurt Jake’s feelings and doesn’t want him to know about her and Gerard. She’s not interested in taking it a step further with Gerard — and that’s how she wants to keep it.”
Keep in mind that this rumour is from Star, so it’s probably somewhere between a bald-faced lie and a blatant fabrication. It’d be pretty funny if it were true, though. I like Reese Witherspoon, but she’s long been rumoured to be a notoriously tight-ass control freak, whereas Gerard Butler is a total whore. But hey, after a breakup, what girl doesn’t want a meaningless fling with a guy who’ll screw her eyeballs right out of her head? Go nuts, Reese. Just make sure he double bags it. I mean, that dude’s been everywhere.
