Charity Founder Award

Gerard Butler his the red carpet at the 2010 CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute held at The Shrine Auditorium on Saturday (November 20) in Los Angeles. He presented an award to the founder of a Scottish charity for his work feeding hungry children.

Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow flew to LA to pick up the prize of £16,000 for the charity Mary's Meals which he founded in 1992. The former salmon-farmer from Argyll shared the stage with Gerard Butler at a ceremony in Hollywood on Saturday.

Mr MacFarlane-Barrow was the only British nominee selected for the CNN Hollywood Heroes show, an award scheme which recognises "ordinary people having an extraordinary impact".

Butler said: "I'm proud because he's a fellow Scot. Every day Magnus lets children know that they matter, that someone thousands of miles away cares about them."

Butler described the founding of Mary's Meals, which happened when Magnus and his brother Fergus made a plan to deliver aid to Bosnia while having a drink at their local pub.

He said: "Whenever a story starts like this: 'two brothers walk into a bar', it doesn't end well but this story is different.

"Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow walked into a bar with his brother. They were having a drink and talked about the heart-wrenching images of the Bosnian war they'd just seen on the TV. So they made an extraordinary decision that most of us don't make. They decided to help."

Mary's Meals provides a school meal a day for almost 460,000 children in 16 countries. The prize money will be spent on school-feeding projects in Malawi, where the charity supports more than 12% of primary school children.

Mr Macfarlane-Barrow said: "It's wonderful to be able to receive this award on behalf of the thousands of people who are working to realise the vision we have that every child in the world will be able to receive at least one meal every day in a place of education."

A Soccer Dad

The LA Times reports that Gerard Butler is in talks to star in “Slide,” a movie about a dad coaching his son’s soccer team. Gabriele Muccino (responsible for Will Smith’s “Seven Pounds” and “Pursuit of Happyness”) is supposed to be interested in directing, although there may be schedule conflicts. Robbie Fox wrote the screenplay.

The project was originally conceived as a baseball movie, but the immense worldwide interest in this year's World Cup has producers rethinking which sport they'll focus on.

Originally titled "Confessions of a Little League Coach," the comedy concerns a father with a dubious past who tries to make up for lost time by coaching his son's Little League teams. He finds himself in hot water after some of the local mothers show a romantic interest in him, which he no doubt reciprocates.

Butler was originally only on board as a producer and now it seems Butler will star in the film as well. Butler will produce the film alongside Kevin Misher and Surrogates director Jonathan Mostow.

Slide comes to theaters in 2012.

Hottest Male Vampires

Here's the list of our favorite vamps from the big and small screens. The 10 guys we'd let suck our blood any day or night.

1. Gerard Butler in Dracula 2000 - As quite possibly the sexiest Dracula ever to hit the silver screen, Gerard entranced us with his intense stare, usually-open shirt, clean-shaven face and a beautifully tousled head of curly hair. Now he just entrances nearly every single actress in Hollywood.

2. Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula - Even with that hard-to-understand accent and his ugly, wrinkled old man mode, we would definitely cross "oceans of time" to share some everlasting love with this Count.And we'd kind of like to see him duke it out with Gerard Butler for the "Sexiest Dracula" title. Shirtless, of course.

3. Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood - Maybe you don't find Eric Northman's stunning Nordic features all that interesting? OK, so maybe you're not that superficial. But not too many women can resist a strong man with some authority. Well, Eric is not only the sheriff of his district, but also a Viking warrior. Chew on that.

4. Billy Wirth in The Lost Boys - So technically, Jason Patric was the hottest thing in this movie. However, since his character was only a HALF vampire, we can't include him on this list. And Kiefer Sutherland's David just didn't do it for us. But—in the unfairly short amount of screen time he got—Billy's vampire Dwayne (best remembered as "death by stereo" guy) really got our blood pumping.

5. Alex O'Loughlin in Moonlight - Although the this one-season series may not have always been that enjoyable to watch, Alex's gentlemanly, lovelorn vampire P.I., Mick St. John, was always easy on the eyes.

6. Brad Pitt in Interview With The Vampire - If you saw Louis de Pointe du Lac's mouth coming at you, don't tell us you could turn away. Sure, it's full of sharp teeth that are going to sink into your jugular, but look at those lips! Those lips have to make even Angelina Jolie jealous.

7. Ian Somerhalder in Vampire Diaries - OK, so Damon is the bad seed of the undead Salvatore clan. Doesn't that just make him all the more irresistible? Not to mention he's got some of the most beautiful blue eyes this world (or the underworld) has ever seen.

8. Robert Pattinson in The Twilight Saga - Well, Edward Cullen sure does have nice hair. And he sure can sparkle. Still, not all of us can really see what the big deal is. At least not when he's all pasty-faced and brooding. But hey, he's on our list, so don't send us hate mail.

9. Chris Sarandon in Fright Night - We wouldn't mind living next door to Jerry Dandridge. Aside from his creepy "roommate," he's well-groomed, handsome and educated. He's also one of those polite, old-World vamps who still asks for permission to come in your house and kill you. (Whatever happened to that rule?)

10. James Marsters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (series) - We know David Boreanaz's Angel was supposed to be "the hot one" on Buffy, but he didn't have nearly the appeal of rival vampire Spike. Plus, he had the whole Billy Idol thing going on. And hey, he died to save the world! (Of course, he didn't stay dead, but that's not his fault.)

Here's what the site says:

Gerard Butler was admitted in the private clinic "Ristic" in Belgrade Monday evening. "Press" learned that the actor who is in the Serbian capital for two weeks for the filming of Coriolanus, was taken to the clinic by the producers of the film. He was immediately admitted by the doctor on duty and after a thorough examination was found out that he had very high blood pressure.
"The actor came to the clinic around 6pm and after being examined and had a blood test, had blood transfusion. The doctors found out the elevated blood pressure was due to the consumption of large quantities of food and drinks, which led to mild poisoning, because he is not used to our kitchen. He was very tired because during the last few days, along with the shooting of the movie, he enjoy the charm of the Belgrade nightlife. Butler made a good impression on the clinic staff and did not behave like a star. After he felt better, he was taken to his apartment in hotel "Hyatt" and he continued shooting the next day, " a spokesman of "Press" said. The "Ristic"'s department of Public Relations refused to comment. Sanya Mardanov, head of the department neither confirmed nor denied whether or not Butler was admitted by them.
"The position of our institution is clear - we respect the privacy of all our patients, no matter if they are ordinary citizens or famous celebrities," Sanya Mardanov said.

Up In The Sky

Gerard Butler is planning to train as a pilot so he can fly away from fame. He admitted the pressures of showbusiness makes him want to leave and just get away from it all.
He said: 'I often finish work and feel the need to leave town. I'm like, 'I have to go now. I have to go to Iceland or go to India, go somewhere. When you are going through places like Jaipur, nobody cares who you are. I was in the country for about five weeks, but in the three weeks I was away from the big cities I don't think I was recognised once. That makes life a lot easier.'

Heartbreakers

Gerard Butler has revealed the names of women who have dumped him.

The actor first screamed out "Carol-Ann Nicole Clinton - b**ch!", when comedian Jimmy Kimmel on late-night show asked the star if he had ever been dumped. The girl had apparently ditched the '300' star, during his teenage years.

"She flirted outrageously with me, always pretending that we were boyfriend/girlfriend, until I made my huge attraction to her clear - at which point she said, "I'm not the slightest bit interested," and it killed me".

However it wasn't the only name Butler revealed. He added: "This girl, Julie Morrison, was the one you'd end up round the back of the bike sheds with. I’ll never forget her walking up the stairs, and I said something to her and then I gave her a long, lingering look, and she looked at me and gave me these come-to-bed eyes."
Caroline McLaughlin and Tracy Turner were the other names he disclosed.

The next day, Gerry called his old classmate Julie Morrison to apologize. Julie was stunned after hearing what Butler had said during the interview but that this was just the type of cheeky remark she would expect from him.

The Bounty Hunter Box Office Update

The Bounty Hunter made $7.6 million on its opening day (3/19/2010), for a total of $21-22 million weekend. "The Ugly Truth" opened to $27 million and eventually hit $88 million.

Concent to Kill

Colin Farrell and Gerard Butler may be about to square off to land the role of a CIA counter terrorism agent in a new movie called "Consent to Kill"

The film is an adaptation of a book by crime novelist Vince Flynn, the first of eleven books that will be made into a kind of 'Bourne Identity" series of movies by CBS Films.

Butler is the current front runner but Farrell wowed CBS Films CEO Amy Baer as the star of S.W.A.T., a project she oversaw as a Columbia Pictures executive.

Butler is still considered a bigger box office bet because of the huge success of 300, but insiders say Farrell may get the movie role which could catapult him into the type of fame that Mat Damon has enjoyed as Bourne.

Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is set to direct "Consent to Kill."

Jennifer says Gerard wasn’t afraid to do gruelling workouts with his personal trainers each day, but just couldn’t stick to his strict diet.
"It’s sort of interesting, he loves sweets! I guess he was on a strict diet shooting this even though the guy is supposed to be kind of down and out and frumpy, but he had trainers on set and I would bust him in corners with cupcakes," Jennifer told Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show.

"I was at Gerry Butler's premiere in Glasgow. At party, Gerry told me he loved me and had me on his iPod. I stayed in the background but felt bad because so many people were talking to him. He had the premiere here because he wanted his family to come and was trying to talk to them while other people were hounding him. He must have posed for 100 photos and it made me realise I want to hold on to my ordinary life."
