Fresh from being dumped by Bradley Cooper in favour of rival Renée Zellweger, an emotional Jen struggled to hold back tears amid a series of tense phone calls on the Manhattan set of her new movie The Bounty.
“She honestly feels screwed over,” a close friend told
Us Weekly magazine of Jen’s reaction to Bradley and Renée’s recent lovefest in Spain. But The Lowdown can reveal that Jen isn’t planning on letting Bradley and his new “low-maintenance” girlfriend score all the headlines at her expense.
The 40-year-old star has returned to her old tricks, orchestrating a very public date with her co-star Gerard Butler.
As if on cue, US magazine People — Jen’s long-time mouthpiece — then breathlessly reported all the intimate details of the date, after allegedly spotting them at New York hotel, The Jane.
“Jen and Gerry went out on Saturday night,” gushed a source, “They had cocktails and they were hand in hand.”
And just like her headline-grabbing reappearance on the celebrity dating scene, her latest choice in boyfriend is no accident either. “Jennifer won’t date a normal guy,” one well-placed source told Us Weekly.
“She goes after the hottest thing of the moment, what she knows will get her the most time in the spotlight.”
