Senator (VP?) Jim Webb on TMZ

The fact that he doesn't tee off against the paparazzi should help alleviate the bad temper rumors.

Gerard Butler Not Into the Whole Celebrity Gossip Thing

Back when I was at the point with the Maroon where I was being flown to LA, I had the privilege of interviewing Gerard Butler—and saw the Maroon Voices blog's traffic reach unprecedented levels with the subsequent podcast. After that, I was never one to question the force of Gerard Butler fan girls. Now, it seems that the man who defined manhood in 300 after making girls swoon in Phantom of the Opera is encountering the plights of fame--being tailed by TMZ and screaming girls wanting to get into his pants. Sure enough, he's not too thrilled with it.

Based on my grand total of 15 minutes interacting with the man, I'm not all that surprised he'd see himself as above this. Before the Gerard Butler fan girls out there renounce their online fan club membership, keep in mind that as far as celebrity paparazzi rebuttals go, this is pretty benign. Also keep in mind that when a male is at a point where he can land pretty much any woman in the English-speaking world, you're going to have to do a lot better than scream how hot he is on the L.A strip.
