Yesterday we caught LeAnn Rimes at the grocery store in Calabasas, and the country singer was spotted with a copy of The Ugly Truth in her shopping bag. Aww, who knew this homewrecking hottie was such a fan of…

Katherine and her boyfriends (including BFF/Grey's co-star T.R. Knight) were spotted at the Arclight in Hollywood on Sunday, and we're not sure if they caught a screening of Kat's latest flick, but we're hoping they went to celebrate afterwards!…

First off, I should be fair and post a classy publicity still that’s fair to Katherine Heigl , but I feel the girls need something to balance out this week’s Megan Fox overload. So, here’s a solo Gerard Butler . Pretend he’s holding that heart out while saying “I could never love Optimus Prime or Megan Fox as much as I love you .” (Not that I’m implying Transformers is just for the boys. I’d never do that. If you like, you can reverse it to have him begging for you to love him more than Shia LaBeouf and Optimus.) If you want to hold onto that lovey-dovey image, you might not want to watch this Red-Band clip from The Ugly Truth . But if you’re feeling in the mood for some raunchy, naughty talk from Butler (be sure to listen for a slip of that Scottish accent), then go right ahead and click. In this very NSFW clip, Butler’s boorish Mike offers Heigl’s highstrung Abby some helpful tips on how to really attract and please a man. Surprise! It’s all cosmetic, ranging from short skirts to push up bras, and just what she can do with her ponytail. Could all this R-rated dialogue mean The Ugly Truth is destined to be July’s Hangover ? Or will the romance drive away the ones looking for raunch? As I wait for your comments (please come back to post one after you watch the clip) I’m off to go hate on myself because I fail all of The Ugly Truth rules. I live in jeans and a ponytail … oh, who am I kidding. I’ve gone beyond Heigl’s “comfort and efficiency” into fashion evocative of Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski . Butler will never love me.

Oh, Gerard Butler . How do I reconcile my feelings towards you? I go from crushing hard on you to wanting to smack you in the face when you show up in the tabloids and TMZ. (I miss the days when I knew you only as “that Scottish dude from the Tomb Raider sequel.”) But don’t take that too personally Mr. Butler, because it’s also how I feel about the trailer for The Ugly Truth . (I miss the days when I knew you only as Pillow Talk .) I mean, it looks funny. I laugh and yet it also causes me to wince, not only at its predictability, but at what it might really be saying about men, women, and dating. Even knowing how it must happily turn out, it’s still the kind of story that makes me feel all squirmy and insecure, and tempted to join a nunnery lest I encounter “hilarious” situations like this. So, without further whining, here’s the latest trailer for The Ugly Truth , courtesy of MySpace’s Trailer Park. You might remember that the raunchy romantic comedy was supposed to be released this month, but was pushed back to compete with Judd Apatow. Some scenes were played at ShoWest last week to a lot of laughs and thumbs-up, which made Sony very confident in that July 24 date. See what you think.

Okay, for those of you who haven’t been keeping track at home, here’s a quick recap of the most recent release date changes: The Ugly Truth moves TO July 2012 moves FROM July and now Bruno moves TO July, if BOM is to be believed This leaves the tepid-seeming Truth firmly wedged between the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen ’s R-rated comedic drawing power and Judd Apatow ’s (both Universal titles, to boot), so if Sony did indeed tuck tail and return to the April safe spot, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least. It also wouldn’t surprise me if the Bruno move was made for any of the following three reasons: to give the film a longer lead with which to promote itself ( Borat popped up at Cannes in May of that year and proceeded to be screened excessively for its eventually successful word-of-mouth campaign), to give the filmmakers more time to shoot, and to give them more time to cut what they already have (again, Borat had something like 400 hours of footage to whittle down to feature length). In silver lining news, this takes a wee bit of pressure off of Summit’s May-scheduled bow of The Brothers Bloom , but that’s a whole other story … Filed under: Comedy , Documentary , Sony , Universal , RumorMonger , Distribution , Exhibition Permalink | Email this | Comments
