Gerard Butler now linked with Nicole Scherzinger  

I have always said Scottish actor Gerard Butler seems to be a man happy to play the field. He has been recently romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston for a while and a recent trip to Mexico with the Friends star for her 41st birthday seemed to confirm they were an item. Which could be true I suppose, but Gerard seems to have several coals in the fire.

Gerard yesterday was seen hanging out with sexy Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger (photos here) on a beach in Rio, where they are both currently celebrating the annual Carnival. He certainly didn’t seem to want the publicity. As soon as the 300 actor spotted photographers descending in on them as they were taking a stroll on Copacabana beach, he marched on ahead of Nicole, trying to pretend they weren’t together.

Oh and on the Gerard and Jen supposed romance, OK! Magazine, claims Aniston flew the film crew down with her to capture the pictures of them together. Just weeks before the release of their new film The Bounty Hunter, Jen wanted to capitalize on rumors of a fling with Butler and made sure every bikini shot was showing off her best angle, the magazine reported.
