Gerard Butler

(BANG) -

Gerard Butler used to flash his butt on the set of 'The Bounty Hunter'.

The Scottish actor was a big practical joker while shooting the movie - in which he co-stars with Jennifer Aniston - and used to amuse the crew by baring his behind.

In a joint interview with 'Access Hollywood', Jennifer said: "You would moon the crew walking by the wardrobe trailer. That's how close our family got!"

Gerard then admitted: "Well, I like to moon."

During filming, Gerard - who has been romantically linked to his stunning co-star - admits he spent a lot of time in Jennifer's trailer because it was so much fun in there.

He said: "Jen has a great team of people around her and I had more fun hanging out at their trailer than I did in my own."

Jennifer - who has insisted her relationship with the heartthrob is purely platonic - enjoyed every moment of filming because Gerard is so funny.

"It was constant, constant laughter! Other past co-stars get grumpy and go to their trailer."

Jennifer and Gerard, 40, became so close during filming, he even organised her 41st birthday trip to Mexico last month.

She explained: "He said to me, 'You come to Mexico all the time and Mexico is really hurting right now because of the swine flu and the drug trafficking and all of this sort of stuff but it's not all of Mexico.'

"These people survive on us coming down and spending money and coming here to these beautiful places. It sort of made sense to say, 'Hey, let's help out Mexico.' Let's shout out to these kids in Tijuana at El Faro and have a good time. That's sort of our birthday celebration this year."

Kate Winslet

(BANG) -

Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes had a trial separation last year.

The couple - who announced yesterday (15.03.10) that their six-year marriage is over - reportedly split up temporarily in 2009 after falling out while working together on 'Revolutionary Road' with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2008, but reconciled after realising they were unhappy apart.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Working and living together was incredibly intense and basically overwhelmed their relationship.

"The pair have a very different work ethos - Sam wanted to switch off after a long day and Kate liked to analyse every nuance of her performance. It was just too much."

After filming ended, Sam flew out to Florida to work on new movie 'Away We Go' but, despite their troubles, the couple - who raise two children together, son Joe, six, and Kate's daughter Mia, nine, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton - struggled to cope with being apart and pledged to spend more time together.

The source added: "After being in each other's pockets for so long, this, ironically, also proved really difficult.

"So last year they both made a commitment to spend the year together and do less work. But it actually ended up with them going a bit stir crazy.

"They are both really driven and were arguing more than ever before. Kate even did a really small amount of filming to try and ease the pressure and tension that had built up but they had a series of rows over projects this year and that was the straw that broke the camel's back."

Despite only confirming their separation yesterday (15.03.10), rumours have surfaced that there were cracks in their marriage since January, which have been denied.

However, friends of the 34-year-old actress have revealed she and her 44-year-old spouse have been living apart for some time.

One pal said: "They have been living separately for a while. There had been some huge rows behind closed doors before they decided to formally separate."

The couple - who have not been seen together in public since last June - are hoping to keep their split amicable and are keen to avoid a court battle over custody of Joe and the splitting of their assets.

A source said: "Kate is devastated. She thought their marriage was forever."

Alex Reid with Katie Price

(BANG) -

Alex Reid wants Gerard Butler to play him in film about his wife Katie Price's life.

The cage fighter said he wanted 'The Bounty Hunter' actor to play him if a rumoured biopic of Katie's life is made - although he stipulated he would have to work out for the role though.

Alex said: "It has been reported Katie is going to do a film about her life. I think it's a brilliant idea - her life makes a great story.

"There's nothing definite on the table. If I could choose anyone to play my character I'd pick Gerard Butler - only when he's pumped up though."

He also said he'd like to make an appearance in the film, writing in his column for Britain's Star magazine: "Perhaps Katie and I can have cameo roles instead? We could be journalists!"

Alex - who is presently in Los Angeles training for a fight - also told how he is missing being with Katie, but enjoyed a visit with her to a lingerie shop last week.

He added: "We went to Trashy Lingerie in Los Angeles last week, a shop I love! Katie only bought some lingerie and a few wigs. No whips or handcuffs, even though I wanted to!

"Unfortunately she had to go back home ahead of me. It was hard to say goodbye again. We seem to be permanently in this cycle right now."

Peter Andre

(BANG) -

Peter Andre is terrified to look at women at the moment.

The 'Behind Closed Doors' is refusing to get romantically involved with any ladies after glamour model Maddy Ford sold a story about their brief fling, which began just eight days after his divorce form ex-wife Katie Price was finalised.

He said: "Maddy Ford sold her story again last week, but I haven't read it. I'm not interested in anything she has to say and don't even want to give her the publicity by talking about her. I want to draw a line under the whole thing. I tell you what, though, I'm scared to even so much as look at a woman these days! I feel like I've had my fingers burned there. I'm the luckiest man in the world in terms of my career and my fans, but when you're in the public eye, you really have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes."

Pete says he is putting all his attention on his career and his two children with Katie, Junior, four, and Princess Tiaamii, two.

He said in his column for new! magazine: "I've got the kids for a whole week again next week and I can't wait. I've got into the habit of getting into bed with Junior when I get back from my gigs so that when he wakes up I'm there. He loves it, bless him. We get to spend loads of time together before he goes off to school, and then Princess and I have the whole day together. I think it's so important for kids to have one-on-one time with their parents, as well as spending time together as a family."

Heather Mills

(BANG) -

Heather Mills was ordered to have her false leg searched for explosives.

The model-and-charity campaigner - who lost the lower part of her left leg after being hit by a police motorcycle in 1993 - sparked a security alert at London's Heathrow Airport after her false limb triggered alarms as she passed through checks on her way to a departure lounge for her flight to the US.

An onlooker said: "Heather was flabbergasted. There was a brief impasse but she said nothing, just staring in disbelief.

"She quietly went and sat down shaking her head, and pulled up her trouser leg for an official to hold up her false limb and swab it.

"Heather looked furious but bit her tongue. She appeared humiliated at having her prosthetic leg highlighted in front of other passengers."

Airport officials insisted the swab was standard procedure.

A spokesperson for Heathrow owners BAA said: "She was swabbed because something set off the alarm in the metal detector archway.

"Staff could not see inside the leg so it was swabbed instead. This would be the same protocol as if a passenger had a broken arm or leg."

Following her humiliating ordeal, Heather's experience worsened when she was refused access to the exclusive Concorde Lounge, which is reserved for first class passengers and guests and gives customers easy access to the flight gate.

After a row with receptionists - during which the 42-year-old star was apparently heard pleading "please let me through, I've had a bad day" - she was eventually allowed through.

Her spokesperson told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She was told she could use the special BA door to the Concorde Lounge. But for whatever reason the guy on the door did not have the list with her name on. Their staff did not have the correct information.

"She was finally allowed to use the door to the Concorde Lounge to access another BA lounge because otherwise it would have meant a long walk around the terminal building."
