The other weekend, Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl were at the Los Angeles Four Seasons Hotel where they had to evacuate because of a telephoned bomb threat.  I will be honest in that when I heard that, I had to wonder if it was a crazed fan hoping to catch a glimpse of him.  I can’t be the only one who thought that, right?

They were promoting The Ugly Truth which opens tomorrow.  Gerard sat down with the Los Angeles Times and gives advice to ‘pretty girls’:

“Pretty girls, lose the attitude,” “Who needs it? Life’s too short. You’re not a brain surgeon. In Los Angeles and New York, where there’s definitely a high concentration of beautiful women . . . a lot of them take themselves way too seriously. Their beauty feels like it’s become a weapon. There’s nothing more attractive to a guy than a beautiful woman who has her defenses down.”

On second thought:

“Well, maybe not that. That sounds animalistic, like you’re on the prowl.” He then clarifies.

The most alluring thing about a woman:

“a beautiful woman who seems unaware of it.”

When asked why he is often cast as a hero of yore:

“I think it’s because of my incredible power and charisma as a person.”  “I don’t know,” ”I’m fascinated with history in a dreamy way. . . . To take on these roles, when you dress up and go on these locations. . . . I find it exciting and incredibly profound.”

He admits to having met costar Katherine Heigl only two days before filming and was very impressed:

“From the second we met, I was bowled over. I always felt that Katie keeps me on my toes. I had to be on my game all the time. “Your nerve endings,” he says, relishing the memory, “they bristle a little more.”  “To be honest, I think I have chemistry with everybody,” 

Did you read that?  He has chemistry with everyone.  We all stand a chance, ladies.  Will you be seeing The Ugly Truth on Friday?
