Thanks to sanmarco1992 (Sandra) for a 2005 photo of Gerard at the Wedding Crashers premiere, but the big question is, who’s the guy with him?? Sandra wants to know and hopes Gerry’s fans can help! Leave us a comment if you think you know the mystery mans identity, or give us a tweet!

In more LAC news, actor Jamie Foxx was injured while playing basketball in Philadelphia.  While the injury was not as serious as the article makes it out to be (it was only a sprain), it reportedly did cut short filming at Holmesburg Prison yesterday, but the film is still on schedule.  Read more…

Thanks once again to HughE over at Philly Chit Chat for sharing photos of Gerard from New York Fashion Week.

Check out HughE’s blog for what he had to say about his short conversation with Gerry about working in Philadelphia.  One small note about Hugh’s blog and his reference to Gerard on Twitter. We checked with Alan Siegel and the person on Twitter is NOT Gerard Butler.  Gerry doesn’t even know what Twitter is!  

KIDS KICKING CANCER DONATION

Michael Klein over at The Philadelphia Inquirer also provides some details on where the steak for the film originates.  You read that right, we said “steak.”  Read more…

WEBSITE UPDATES

The February issue of the Gerard Butler Dot Net Monthly Newsletter went out this morning.  Thanks once again to Julianna for all her hard work each month!  Thanks also to Sharon for proofreading this month’s issue.  For those who have not subscribed, but still like to browse previous newsletters, the January 2009 newsletter is now in the archives.  You may also subscribe to the newsletter on that page.  The once-a-month email is sent out on or before the 10th of every month.

All the career achievements have now been transferred to the new platform.  Most can be rated and reviewed right on their individual pages.  We didn’t include the ratings/reviews option for the stage work or some of the minor films in which Gerard appeared.

Finally, GB.Net’s 8th Anniversary is coming up this week, but we don’t want to forget founding admin K’s BIG 4-0 Birthday, which was yesterday, February 7!  This site is all YOUR fault, but we love you anyway!  Hope you had a fabulous day!!
