Jennifer Aniston meets the love of her…week

In news that will surprise practically no-one, it’s reported that Jennifer Aniston’s in love with her co-star…again.

The 40-year old actress, still best-known for her role in NBC’s ‘Friends,’ is reported to be getting up-close and personal with co-star, Gerard Butler, while filming ‘The Bounty’ in Atlantic City.

In the movie, Jen plays Gerard’s ex-wife, and his job as a bounty hunter requires him to arrest her. But the pair’s behavior, both on and off-set, has made people wonder if there’s something between them, and neither actor is exactly dispelling the talk.

“After they finish a scene, they stick around so they can hang out with each other,” says one source. “Neither is in any rush to leave.”

The two met at the Toronto Film Festival in September and the rumors were instant. Now their work on the set may have fanned all those sparks to a flame, “Jen and Gerard often practice kissing scenes – even after the cameras stop rolling. And Jen will say, ‘I think we need to do that again,’” a source told The Mail. “She says Gerard’s a great kisser.’

And 39-year old Gerard’s also said to be keen, “He’s been after Jen since Toronto!” says one insider. “He really has a thing for her and wants to date her – at least, that’s what he’s telling Jen.”

But this isn’t exactly Jen’s first movie fling — Right after her divorce from Brad Pitt in October ’05 she met Vince Vaughn on the set of her 2006 turkey, ‘The Break Up.’ That lasted a year. Next was male model, Paul Sculfor, then an on/off fling with John Meyer that kept us here at Hot Momma in headlines for months.

When that flamed-out in March, Jen was instantly smitten with her ‘Hangover’ co-star, Bradley Cooper – and was said to be ‘crushed’ when he told reporters the pair were ‘just friends.’

“It made her look desperate, which is the one thing she dreads,” says a friend. “She had no idea why Bradley denied they were dating – she just assumed he wanted things kept private. But when she confronted him, he let her down easy. Now she feels used and upset, and her dating life’s back at square one.”

But don’t fret for poor Jen — love’s not too far: With six films in development, her fondness for co-stars should keep her love-struck for days!
