(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Gerard Butler has reportedly got close to Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife.

The Scottish actor is rumoured to have had a steamy make-out session with new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Brandi Glanville.

Life & Style say the pair got cosy on the beach in Malibu on Saturday in full view of a crowd.

"They were at a private beach party, drinks were flowing and one thing led to another," an eyewitness told the magazine.

"Next thing you know they're dancing together to some music, hands started getting frisky and it was a full-on make out!

"Everyone saw it. One girl tried to snap a photo of it on her phone but Gerard politely asked for privacy."

Gerard has been linked with a long list of women including Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Biel and Naomi Campbell.

Meanwhile, Brandi and Eddie split in 2009 after eight years of marriage and the former couple have two children together, Mason and Jake.

Eddie married country singer LeAnn Rimes earlier this year. (C) Cover Media
