Jennifer Aniston has enjoyed a date with Gerard Butler - at the same venue she was seen dining with John Mayer days earlier.

The former "Friends" actress - who recently fuelled rumours she had reconciled with the "Gravity" singer after they were seen together several times - dined at the Tower Bar with the "300" actor, less than a week after she was seen "being intimate" at the Los Angeles venue with ex-boyfriend John.

A source revealed to the New York Post newspaper: "Jennifer and Gerard were very affectionate to each other. There was another man at the table, but he looked like he was a chaperone - or just there to stop tongues wagging. They basically ignored him."

Gerard, 38, recently denied he was dating the 39-year-old actress, saying: "This came from a seven-minute conversation that we had at the Toronto Film Festival at a big party. And the next minute it's in all the papers."
