Rejoice! Grown-Ups Officially Qualifies for Best Picture Campaign

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that 248 feature films have qualified for this year’s Best Picture Oscar race — a surprising downturn from recent years. (To wit, 274 films in 2009, and 281 in 2008.) But let’s face it: Like everything in Hollywood, we are dealing in quality, not quantity. With this in mind, let’s hear it for the official 2010 nomination ballot wherein the likes of Grown-Ups , The Bounty Hunter , Furry Vengeance and Hot Tub Time Machine will share space with The Social Network , The King’s Speech , Black Swan and the rest of the cognoscenti’s informally sanctioned seasonal darlings. They’re all after the jump if you want to see anything in particular you want to launch a dark-horse campaign for. [ Why Did I Get Married Too , FTW. ]

Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd Re-Team For ‘WanderLust’

The pair, who starred together in 1998’s ‘The Object of My Affection,’ will reunite for the Judd Apatow-produced comedy. By Jocelyn Vena Jennifer Aniston Photo: Andrew H. Walker/ Getty Images After working together in 1998’s “The Object of My Affection,” Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston will reunite onscreen for “WanderLust.” The film will be produced by Judd Apatow, and Rudd will also be onboard as writer and producer. David Wain, who worked with Rudd on “Role Models,” will direct the movie, which centers on a couple who take refuge at a commune after they lose all their money, according to Variety . Rudd will help with the script, which will be penned by Wain and Ken Marino. Apatow recently told MTV News about the project, saying, “I’m producing a movie that Paul Rudd’s in that’s shooting in the fall, which David Wain wrote with Ken Marino, and they’re going to announce that soon.” In other Aniston movie news, she will re-team with her “The Switch” co-star Jason Bateman for the movie “Horrible Bosses.” Also onboard for the film are Colin Farrell and Charlie Day. The film centers on “three friends who team up to murder their overbearing bosses with disastrous results.” Seth Gordon, who directed “Four Christmases,” will direct the movie. But that’s not all for the very busy Aniston. Next up, the actress, who appeared in “The Bounty Hunter” earlier this year and who is set to release the aforementioned “Switch” later this year, will stretch her singing muscles in the flick “Goree Girls.” “We’re still doing it, it’s going through a rewrite and it should be happening sometime next year,” Aniston told MTV News recently about the movie. Based on a true story, the film is about a group of 1940s female prison inmates who start a country-western band. “I’m still trying to figure out where in my schedule to find its little spot.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Actress Jennifer Aniston is to direct her first feature film, according to reports. British newspaper The Sun has reported that the former Friends star has a new directing project in development. The Bounty Hunter star, 41, said “I have a project in development I’m going to direct. After you get enough movies under your belt you sit back and go, ‘What’s next?

Jennifer Aniston Who? Gerard Butler, Laurie Cholewa Heat Up Paris

French TV journalist Laurie Cholewa, who interviewed Gerard Butler as he was promoting The Bounty Hunter in Paris, is really dating the hunky actor now. Somewhere, a lonely Jennifer Aniston is sobbing once again. Although Butler has been frequently linked romantically to Aniston, he met Cholewa in Paris recently, then returned back solo to spend more time with her. Gerard Butler and Laurie Cholewa were spotted admiring the art at the Louvre museum and dining together at two upscale eateries, reports an eyewitness. “They had some light salads and a bit of wine,” a waiter who served them said. “There was definitely a warmth and intimacy between them which suggested that they were getting on very well. They’re a very cute couple!” Has Laurie Cholewa snagged Gerard Butler? A source at Cholewa’s TV station Direct 8 says they “had a great time together and are keeping in touch via phone and email. There’s a real connection there. She thinks the relationship might be going somewhere, but we’ll have to wait and see.” Yes we will … unless he knocks up someone else we know. When contacted by Us Weekly , Cholewa laughed about her famous new boyfriend. “He’s a great guy, but you’ll have to ask him about this,” she demured. Does she want a serious relationship with Butler, 40? “He’s a bit far away!” Cholewa said. The Cholewa source says she is “smart and not at all star struck,” but thinks Butler is great and see looks like she wants to “talk about him all the time.” “She’s ambitious…she never stops working, so hasn’t had a great deal of time for romance recently. She’s extremely sexy though – Gerard is a very lucky.”

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler: Just Friends … with Benefits?

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler make a hot couple. But are they even a couple? Or just a rumored couple ? Or just a couple of friends … who get horizontal!? It’s obvious that their film, The Bounty Hunter, benefits greatly from speculation about the pair’s romantic involvement (and can use every bit of it, reviews say). But is it all for show, or is there something there? Rumors flew once again after Butler was caught playing grab-ass with Jen while greeting fans in Paris, France. In a Friday interview, Butler joked about his booty bust. “I’m a bit of a bad boy,” the notorious playboy actor admitted, before demurring, “by the way, I’m still not sure my hand was really on her butt. I think that’s just the way the camera was angled … I actually haven’t seen [the photo].” FRIENDS AND (MAYBE) THEN SOME : Are Jen and Gerry hooking up? “If I was going out with Jennifer, I’d be more than happy to say I’m going out with Jennifer, but it’s just not true,” he added after being pressed further on it. Yet a Butler pal counters that the flirty costars have been “hooking up for a while,” even if they’re not an official couple. So it’s that sort of arrangement. HOT! An Aniston pal confirms that they slept together in Mexico at her February birthday blowout: “She would like it to be more, [but] they’re friends with benefits.” Damn, Jen. You can’t give away the cow when … forget it. A rep for Aniston, meanwhile, says the “friends with benefits” label is “both crude and incorrect.” So basically … who knows. Long live the Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler tease!

Jen Flamenco’s!

Another day, another opportunity to promote The Bounty Hunter in Europe! After attending the Madrid premiere of the film, Jen Aniston and Gerard Butler went to a local flamenco room and boogied down.

Jennifer Aniston & Gerard Butler: What a Tease

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler sure have great chemistry. Or know how to make it look like they do so that you’ll go see their movie in theaters. At the most recent press event in Madrid, Spain, for The Bounty Hunter , Jen chose a sexy short black dress with leather, lace and beading to wear. It was a wise decision, we feel confident saying. By the look on Gerard Butler’s face, we can tell that he approves … then again, besides Brad Pitt, what sane man would possibly raise objections?! They are so the hottest rumored couple ever … Jen and Gerry heat up Spain … and romance rumors. While it sure beats the salmon-colored hideousness she rocked the other day, you have to wonder who wears a dress that resembles lingerie on the red carpet. Well, we suppose a lot of celebrities would. But we expect a little bit more from Jen. Maybe she’s just so smitten with Gerard Butler that she couldn’t resist …

Gerard Butler Confirms He’s Single

Gerard Butler may have reportedly dated his Bounty Hunter co-star Jennifer Aniston , but he has revealed that he is now single. The Scots actor donned a kilt imprinted with Ellen DeGeneres’ face as he appeared on the cheeky comedienne’s US talk show today and when asked by DeGeneres whether he is currently single, a smiling Butler, 40, simply replied, “Yes.” Um, that “smiling” confession doesn’t sound like he’s admitting anything.
