We were triple smiley-faced over rumors that Gerard and Cameron were a couple, but before we could even mash their names together TomKat-style, the two were already reported as split. To our horror, Gerard was suddenly love-linked to DWTS lifer Cheryl Burke, after the two were spotted kissing at an Us Weekly event at Beso restaurant in LA.

We’re sorry, who??...and what??...and why?! Trading in Cameron Diaz for Cheryl Burke? That one smells like a Pop Fiction to us.

Fortunately Gerard’s latest love connection might actually be false, with Burke denying the relationship on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. “He actually lives in my apartment building,” she explained of her connection to Gerard. “And we’ve been friends for, you know, a few months.” She claims the kisses were just friendship kisses, saying “Everyone says hello and goodbye and kisses each other. Don’t you Ryan?”

Hmm, kissing Gerard Butler just as a friend? That cover is even worse than Nick Zano’s paparazzi pizza box. Although we’ve got our fingers crossed that Gerard isn’t with Cheryl and will find his way back to our beloved Cameron (otherwise our desktop collage of the two will just go to waste!), we’re not convinced that there isn’t more to the Cheryl Burke story.

We’ll keep you updated on any developments between the two, but in the meantime – Gerardiaz? Camerutler? We’ll keep working on it.
