When in Rome ... Gerard Butler dines like he's in Brooklyn!
Over the weekend, the actor was spotted checking out the original Antica Pesa outpost with girlfriend Madalina Ghenea. The couple enjoyed lunch on Saturday afternoon with Butler's Olympus Has Fallen costar Aaron Eckhart.
The actors were in Italy to promote their new flick, and they were were greeted personally by the restaurant's chef-owner Simone Panella, who prepared a selection of farm-to-table dishes for the stars. The two actors even posed with Panella and will join other celebrity guests on the wall of fame.
Their appetizers included artichoke and ricotta cheese pie; prosciutto and mozzarella cheese; octopus salad with Roman broccoli; grilled vegetables and a fresh vegetable followed by a small tasting of cacio e pepe pasta.
And for dessert they also indulged in tiramisu, white chocolate semifreddo and creme brulée – all while smoking Cohiba cigars.

Harley Pasternak Blogs: How Leading Actors Get Fit for Roles
Originally posted 10/17/2012 10:00AM
A few weeks ago, my wife and I watched Crazy Stupid Love (I know, I know, we're a little late to the party). In one scene, Ryan Gosling seduces Emma Stone by taking his shirt off.
I turned to my wife to see her reaction. She was beet red and had her jaw wide open. When I asked if she enjoyed the movie, she uttered, "Ryan Gosling really was … fit looking."
(I worked out twice as hard the subsequent day, by the way.)
The fact is, Ryan got in amazing shape for the film. He has become part of a long list of leading men who have exercised and dieted to make their on-screen performance more impactful.

Gerard Butler let loose during a recent meal outing in Shreveport, La., where he is currently filming Olympus Has Fallen.
"He can eat quite a lot," a waiter at Don Juan's tells PEOPLE of fitness aficionado Butler, who ordered – and consumed – fajitas and six tacos. "He ate it all, with all the trimmings."
Butler, an apparent regular at the eatery while he's in town, is, "Always really friendly and easy to talk to," says a different member of the staff.
Of this particular occasion, the source says Butler and the film crew he came with were "laughing and joking with each other throughout the meal."

Inside Seth MacFarlane's Star-Studded All-Night House Party
Originally posted 06/25/2012 06:00AM
There was no slowing down on Thursday night for Seth MacFarlane.
Fresh from the early evening premiere of his latest project, the comedy Ted, MacFarlane headed to his Beverly Hills mansion where he hosted a private afterparty that began late and went into the wee hours of the morning.
"The party started at 11 p.m. and was still going at 4a.m.," an attendee tells PEOPLE. "Seth had a whiskey bar and a guy rolling cigars for guests, which was pretty cool, and something he hasn't had at his parties in the past."
MacFarlane, who is known to host some of the most highly anticipated house parties in Hollywood, also managed to get some star power on stage during the fête.
"Rumer Willis got up and sang for a bit," the partygoer says of Demi Moore's daughter, who has been showing off her vocal chops lately at Jason Scoppa's Sayers Sessions. "She did a really good job!"
Also on hand was Gerard Butler, who was surrounded by ladies as usual.
"He was with two unrecognizable girls," the source says. "He was definitely acting flirty with them."
Angelina Jolie's dad Jon Voight also dropped by the bash, an appearance the source calls, "very random."

Rarely one to turn down a night out, Gerard Butler recently came out to Caulfield's restaurant in Beverly Hills to celebrate the joint birthday of the eatery's owner Ron Marino, Thompson Hotel owner Jason Pomeranc and Smallville star Tom Welling.
Stepping out solo, the ladies' man arrived shortly after Gabriel Aubry showed up. Both men were just in time for the dinner portion of the bash, which started around 8 p.m. and ended at 2 a.m.
The two men didn't sit together or interact much, but the 50-person party also included Entourage cast mates Jerry Ferrara and Emmanuelle Chriqui, along with Harry Morton and Peter Gallagher.
"Gabriel was looking pretty sharp in a suit," a partygoer tells PEOPLE. "The female guests were chit-chatting all night, trying to find out his [relationship] 'status.' "

Always the ladies man, Gerard Butler had no problem finding a woman to occupy his time on Tuesday when he headed out to Agency night club in Hollywood with two guy pals.
"I'm not sure where his friends wandered off to, but this mystery brunette definitely had his full attention as Gerard stayed by her side the entire time he was at his table," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "They were flirting and dancing to the DJs."
Although he appeared to be enjoying himself, he seemingly did so without alcohol.
"I don't think he was drinking," the source says. "He was carrying bottled water that he casually sipped."

Lindsay Lohan Giggles with Gerard Butler at Chateau Marmont
Originally posted 03/26/2012 06:00AM
It was a (typically) star-studded night at West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont.
Lindsay Lohan may have (mostly) been preoccupied with her cell phone during her evening out with friends – she was glued to it, constantly texting, as were her pals – but that didn't stop her entirely from taking notice of fellow celebs. The starlet jumped out of her chair and ran to give Emily Blunt a hug when she saw the British actress approaching. They shared some pleasant small talk – and smiles – before Blunt headed away with her friend.
Soon, though, Lohan had another visitor: Gerard Butler, who arrived on the patio after midnight and sauntered over to the garden bar near where Lindsay and her friends were seated. The two were laughing and telling jokes, and Butler kept his hands on both sides of her chair as he leaned in close to talk. She was soaking up the attention and even asked him to come closer so she could whisper in his ear.
