In 2006's graphic-novel adaptation "300," Gerard Butler was a loincloth-wearing, six-pack-baring Spartan king of blood-spilling domination. In the years since, the Scottish actor has largely opted for far less gory fare, like the rom-coms "P.S. I Love You" and "The Ugly Truth."
The futuristic sci-fi flick "Gamer" (out Friday) places Butler squarely back in the high-adrenaline, kill-or-be-violently-killed territory of popcorn action flicks. And once again, Butler is looking seriously pumped up.
"On set, he had a little Radio Flyer wagon with weights on it," co-star Milo Ventimiglia told MTV News. "So in between takes, he's working out, and I'm like, 'Uh, all right.' He'd go around the corner, and I'd sneak in, do a couple dumbbells."

Step aside, Z and Vielpunkt.
You too, lesbian seagull from South Park.
There is a new out and proud critter in town.
This week, Jessica Simpson outed her maltipoo, Daisy, on Twitter.
After a quick scan of the accompanying photo, we have concluded that, yes, Daisy and Bella do appear to be an old grumpy lesbian couple.
Neither were reachable for comment, although Daisy's publicist, Bruiser from Legally Blonde (who is also out), indicated that Daisy hopes to be a positive role model for all pooches who are still afraid to "come out" from under the bed. Bruiser took aim at the Re-pug-lican party, who is seeking to re-criminalize same sex humping and butt-sniffing.
"It's not just indiscriminate leg humping, you know. Just look at Daisy and Bella. This is real love," Bruiser said. "Those Re-pugs need to get a life."
The last we heard, the maltipoo had rented a

Transitioning from babyhood to toddlerhood is no easy feat. Among potty training, bottle weaning and beginning preschool, children also tend to change their taste in toys, with many graduating from their ride-on cars to the toddler-friendly tricycle. That said, while independence is generally encouraged, occasionally a little help — or push! — from mom and dad goes a long way!
In addition to parents having the ability to semi-steer with a push trike, the consistent motion of the turning pedals also assists kids in understanding the connection between their feet and the forward motion. An added bonus? For those little legs that are low in muscle tone, a push tricycle is a great — and fun! — tool to strengthen their lower limbs.
When Geri Halliwell stepped out last week in London with 3-year-old Bluebell Madonna, they made quite the determined-looking duo! The former Spice Girls songstress helped her daughter maneuver her way down the sidewalk with ease.

Call in the moving trucks! Actress Melissa Joan Hart and her husband Mark Wilkerson are packing up and heading to the east coast, where they plan to settle down and raise Mason Walter, 3 ½, and Braydon ‘Brady’ Hart, 16 ½ months. With the big moving date drawing near, Melissa is hoping to unload some of the family’s belongings and has turned to handmedowns.com for help!
Melissa is no stranger to hand-me-downs; she received many of Mason’s toys from a friend of hers, only to pass them on to another friend, before getting them back for Brady!
