So, just WHO is Hollywood’s hottest confirmed bachelor, Gerard Butler, taking as his plus one to the Academy Awards?

“I’m not taking a date — unless I have a serious girlfriend, which probably a lot of people know is very rare,”

“There are enough rumors about what’s going on in my life without sparking another one.”[via OK!]

Ahhh, so no cuddling with Jennifer Aniston like at the Golden Globes? That’s fine. I wonder if he’ll be shaving that beard, though, before he steps out on the red carpet.

The gunman who opened fire at the Metro entrance to the Pentagon has been identified as John Patrick Bedell. But authorities are checking into whether there was a second gunman.

The man was calm as he approached the officers at the main entrance around 6:40 p.m., Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevil said at a news conference. The officers asked to see his pass to enter the building; he started shooting without saying a word.

“He reached into his pocket and they assumed he was going to get out his pass and he just started shooting,” Keevil said. The officers were only “grazed” and immediately fired back.

Keevil declined to [identify] the suspect or the officers, whose injuries aren’t life-threatening.

The gunman’s injuries are more serious, but Keevil wouldn’t elaborate. A Pentagon source told Fox News the gunman was shot in the head.

I was looking at all my available pics to share with my lovely readers, and I was laughing at all the celebs caught on the phone. It’s a common tactic used to get past the paparazzi, and to (kind of) get them to back off, but it rarely works.

More as we get it

The fragrance counter at Macy’s may already be overloaded with celebrity perfumes, but they’re just going to have to make room for one more. Jennifer Aniston is said to be throwing her hat into the licensing ring!

But the only sticking point is what to call it. Names like Aniston, and Echo have been offered up then shot down.

“It’s all about capturing the idea of romance and freedom at any age, but it’s hard to do that in just one word,” says the source.

“Jen wants to unleash some really glamorous commercials on TV,” once her perfume is named, the source says.[OK!]

When I heard that Jennifer Aniston has been designing her won signature fragrance, I immediately thought, I would probably buy that. It will probably be a clean, fun, beachy scent.
