Sunday, July 31, 2011 Jennifer Aniston says NO to Cartier's £150k Jennifer Aniston in Horrible Bosses Just ask Jennifer Aniston, who turned down £150,000 from upmarket jewellers Cartier to attend last weekend’s Cartier International Polo at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor. My source tells me Cartier had been trying to bag the Hollywood actress for months, but Jennifer passed on the offer. Advertisement >> Cartier settled for models Christie Brinkley and Petra Nemcova.

Jennifer Aniston looked sexy and low-key as she stepped out in the perfect pair of Daisy Dukes and a simple white tee, while on her way to the Magic Box Studios in LA, on Wednesday. Aniston has had quite a busy summer promoting her new film, Horrible Bosses, and spending all her free time with new man, Justin Theroux. But after just a few short months, could the pair be talking marriage already? It's been reported Jen and Justin are planning a relaxed wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico that will take place later this year, with just a few close friends in attendance. Could Aniston beat ex-hubby Brad Pitt to the alter? Thursday, July 28, 2011 From Rachel in Friends to a nympho dentist in her new film, Jennifer Aniston tells us why she's having the time of her life. It might be seven years since Jennifer Aniston last enjoyed a cup of coffee with Friends in Central Perk, but the actress is still struggling to get out from underneath the shadow of Rachel Green. “I get people still referring to me as Rachel,” the star says with a shrug, before pointing out that she also still harbours a lot of love for her famous alter-ego. “I look back at Rachel fondly. She was a lot of fun.” Fun or not, the star is seemingly hell-bent on shaking the restrictive girly-girl image that people associate with Rachel Green. The outfit she is wearing today – a figure-hugging leather dress – is a statement in itself. Then there’s her latest film, comedy Horrible Bosses, in which the actress plays a character so raunchy, it will change the way you look at her. Aniston stars as Dr Julia Harris, a nymphomaniac dentist who will do everything to get her assistant (played by Charlie Day) into the sack – including spraying his crotch with water to try and see his equipment. For Aniston, playing Julia was clearly a liberating experience. “I thought it would be a fun challenge to step out of that thing, what people usually like to see me play,” she explains. “I have never come across anyone like Julia, so it was pretty much just kind of going into my dark imagination and seeing what I could come up with. It’s so outrageous and it’s limitless and you don’t worry whether you are being inappropriate at all. I loved that.” Aniston admits that shooting some of the more racy scenes had her blushing. “It was embarrassing for me too, having met Charlie Day for one day, to then straddle him in underwear,” she says with a smile. “I was embarrassed for myself.” Aniston certainly has nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to revealing her figure on screen. The 42-year-old actress has never been in better shape. “For the age of sixty I'm doing pretty good,” she chuckles “No, I think that I absolutely get more comfortable in my body and who I am as I get older, way more than when I was in my twenties. I was just so awkward and uncomfortable.” And the secret behind her fantastic figure? Lots of yoga and the drive to work out as much as possible.  “I try and keep fit regularly,” she says. “Keep in good health and in good shape and those [revealing] scenes don’t terrify you as much. I think it’s better to consistently stay in good shape so that you don’t have to go crazy [in the lead up to a film].” Julia Harris is such a departure for Aniston you have to wonder whether her hardcore fans will be shocked by her change in direction. The actress is confident she hasn’t lost any support. “Are people upset that I abandoned Rachel?” she says pondering the question. “No, nobody is upset about this. I certainly didn’t worry about doing the part at all. That was the fun of it – how far it went. I really went for it. The entire movie went for it. It’s not ‘Sort-of Horrible Bosses' – they are really horrible.” Playing against type has paid off handsomely for Aniston, with many critics praising her outrageous turn. Gettingthe thumbs-up from the press is somewhat of a new experience for an actress who has been savaged for her performances in turkeys like The Bounty Hunter and Just Go With It. Clearly, Aniston has been stung by some of the things that have been written about her. “Critics are so inconsistent,” she sighs. “It really feels like it's personal digs as opposed to constructive critiques of performances. It’s very personal.” Despite what critics say, Aniston has made her mark as an actress – quite literally. Recently she was invited to leave her handprints in wet cement outside the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where she was honoured for her accomplishments – an experience the star describes as: “Wonderful, surreal and a complete honour.”  Aniston is also committed to growing as an actress, saying she would be happy to step on to the stage. “I started in bad theatre in New York, public theatre and things that aren’t remembered," she says. "I love the theatre and I would love to go back to it if the right thing presented itself. I just have to learn to sing which would piss you off.” Whatever she tries next in her career, Aniston’s every move will be followed by a legion of female fans, who really identify with her. The actress seems to be at a loss as to why she is such a female icon. “I never know how to answer that question – they like my shoes and they like my hand-me-downs? No, I don’t know. I love girls,” Aniston says, only to instantly realise it’s the sort of comment that could be twisted into a sensationalist tabloid headline. “Oh great. Yep, I said it. I love the girls.” You can understand why Aniston is so bemused when it comes to the media. This, after all, is a woman who has been hounded and dissected for 17 years – from her hairstyles and clothes to her failed marriage to Brad Pitt and apparent inability to stay in a relationship for any great length of time. It is perhaps why Aniston – who is currently dating actor Justin Theroux – comes across as guarded, if very friendly, and why she has recently decided to step out of the limelight and a take a break from acting. “I want to travel and live a little,” Aniston, who reportedly could be taking as long as a year off, shrugs. “I’m just going to take a break and sort of not know what I’m going to do. Which is the fun part.” lifetime's "Five" to explore humor in breast cancerThe "Friends" creator was among the participants in the Lifetime Networks' panel for the upcoming movie "Five" at the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour at the Beverly Hilton on Friday. Kauffman promised that the Lifetime original movie -- which comprises five short films about breast cancer directed by five different directors -- isn't without its chuckles. "When we're in the most extreme circumstances, we tend to do one of two things: we either completely freak out, or go to humor," Kauffman posited. "And when you raise the stakes enough, the results can be funny. It can be funny when a woman who's been diagnosed with breast cancer still has to deal with her mother." Kauffman added, "We were always given the freedom to make it as funny as we wanted to." A project of ambitious scope, the "Five" anthology is co-directed by Kauffman's former "Friends" colleague Jennifer Aniston, singer Alicia Keys, Demi Moore, "Monster" director Patty Jenkins, and Penelope Spheeris, director of the 1979 punk-rock documentary "The Decline of Western Civilization." The expansive cast includes Patricia Clarkson, Ginnifer Goodwin, Tony Shalhoub, Jeffrey Tambor and "Big Love" star Jeanne Tripplehorn, whose character, "Pearl," provides a common thread through the five segments. Though the five segments share the commonality of breast cancer, Kauffman insisted that "Five" won't be about the disease itself, but rather about how the characters react to it. "The idea was to do something that uses breast cancer as a backdrop," Kauffman offered. "It's not about breast cancer; we've already seen that." So how did Aniston handle her duties behind the camera? According to "Shutter Island" actress Patricia Clarkson, who stars in Aniston's segment "Mia," the "Horrible Bosses" actresses turned out to be not so terrible to work under. "She mixed the light and the dark, on camera and off," Clarkson recalled. "It was so brutal for me at times, and I'd look at her, and there was such compassion. I wouldn't want to have done this with anyone else directing." And despite the claims of levity around the project, Clarkson says that the very serious business of raising awareness about the disease is very much a goal of the project. "We have to keep the dialogue going," Clarkson said. "It's in all of our lives -- men, women and children. It's rare to have someone who hasn't been affected by the disease." "Five" premieres on Lifetime on October 10.

Gossiping about baldies on Lisa Snowdon’s Capital FM show, she said: “I love them. I don’t know why they comb over.” Advertisement >> She said: “I think he should just let whatever is happening, happen. If we see him with hair we’re going to be like: ‘Oh, he had a hair transplant.’ Look at Ed Harris. Come on... gorgeous!” So you don’t think our picture of Wills with a Rachel works then?

Click here for more information Sunday, July 24, 2011 Celebrity godfathers and godmothers 0MICHAEL RECHTSHAFFEN, QMI Agency  HOLLYWOOD -- There was once a time when being named a godparent carried with it a fair amount of responsibility, including playing a role in the child's religious education and taking over full parental duties should the child ever become orphaned. To be honest, that honoured tradition sort of lost a chunk of respectability a couple of months ago when Elton John chose Lady Gaga to be son Zachary's godmother. Gaga? Really? Tell us, Sir Elton, what part of meat dress makes you think she'd be the ideal candidate? But then we got to thinking: Here in Hollywood, there's been a long history of, um, inspired godmothers and godfathers, going back years before Lady Gaga was even born (this way). Let's start with Nicole Richie, whose dad, Lionel, selected We Are the World collaborator Michael Jackson as her godfather. Years later, when it came time for Jackson to name suitable godparents for Prince and Paris, he had no trouble coming up with the logical combo of Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin. You think that's an odd couple? Well, when Brangelina welcomed Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt into the fold, they apparently chose as their godparents, none other than Bono and Mindy Cohn, fondly remembered as Natalie on The Facts of Life, although recently she's been keeping busy voicing Velma on a bunch of Scooby-Doo projects. Back when she was youngster herself, Angelina called Jacqueline Bisset "Godmother." As for hubby Brad's exes, Jennifer Aniston was "Friend-ed" by old cast mate Courteney Cox when choosing a godmother for daughter Coco Cox-Arquette. Don't know if Aniston's own godfather ever greeted her with "Who loves ya, baby?" but he could have, since it was Telly Savalas. Fellow former Pitt fling Gwyneth Paltrow's godfather is none other than Steven Spielberg -- he gave her away at her wedding to Chris Martin. Spielberg also assumed the title of Drew Barrymore's godfather after he cast her in E.T., and Barrymore has frequently been quoted as referring to him as "the dad I never had." Her godmother is Sophia Loren. For her part, Drew is godmother to Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. Frances' godfather is REM front man Michael Stipe. Then there's Jake Gyllenhaal, who's godfather to Matilda Ledger, daughter of his late Brokeback Mountain co-star, Heath, and Michelle Williams. You may not have known that Jake's own godparents were Paul Newman and Jamie Lee Curtis. Here and there, Bridget Fonda's godfather is Larry Hagman and Khloe Kardashian's godfather is boxing great Sugar Ray Leonard. Getting a little trippier, Wynona Ryder's godfather was '60s countercultural personality Timothy Leary and Bijou Phillips' godfather was Andy Warhol. Making more sense, Miley Cyrus' godmother is Dolly Parton, although she prefers to think of herself as Miley's "fairy godmother." Finally, returning to little Zachary Furnish-John, his dads Sir Elton and David Furnish happen to be godfathers to Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham (their godmother is Elizabeth Hurley). Which begs the question, who'll be asked to assume the honour for newborn Harper Seven Beckham? If you believe the rumours, then Prince William and his bride Kate could soon find themselves in some pretty colourful company. Call them goldparents. Jennifer Aniston insists reports on her personal life don’t bother her – unless her mother phones to get involved.  Jennifer Aniston The Hollywood actress has been in the glare of the spotlight since her high-profile divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005. The stunning star has recently started dating Justin Theroux, and a barrage of reports about the romance have ensued. Jennifer insists she doesn’t let her personal life get in the way of her illustrious Hollywood career, although she does become concerned when her family gets involved. “The comments about my personal life don’t affect my career. The only thing that bothers me is when there’s a rumour about me and my mum starts ringing or texting to get the latest on me!” she explained in an interview with Look magazine. “I don’t like responding to my family about every rumour.” Jennifer insists she is feels confident about growing older. The 42-year-old star says there is lots of unnecessary pressure on actors in Hollywood to maintain their youthful looks, which she regards as unhealthy. “I’m OK with it, but call me in ten years!” she smiled when asked about her thoughts on ageing. “There’s lots of pressure on men and women to remain youthful. I really don’t know the reason. Unfortunately, people in general don’t like ageing. So some women go to extremes – more so in this industry.” Friday, July 22, 2011 Jennifer Aniston - Jennifer Aniston Meets Justin's Family22 July 2011 09:15:23 AM
Jennifer Aniston Meets Justin's Family Jennifer Aniston has met Justin Theroux's family. The actress - who began dating the actor earlier this year - was introduced to Justin's documentarian cousin Louis Theroux at exclusive London venue Shoreditch House on Wednesday (20.07.11), following the UK premiere of her new film 'Horrible Bosses'. A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Louis obviously approved of Jennifer. It looked like they were having a great time, and they all seemed instantly at ease with each other. Justin looked proud of Jen and seemed quite manly and protective." The trio enjoyed dinner and drinks and another onlooker said the former 'Friends' star "was really chilled out and seemed blissfully happy". Louis is best known for his Gonzo style journalism on the British television series 'Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends' and 'When Louis Met...'. Things seem to be getting serious between Jennifer and Justin as the couple are reported to be house-hunting together and have been looking around several Beverly Hills homes. According to sources, the pair are visiting up to six mansions a day and have even looked at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's home, which has been on the market since June for a reported $60 million. Jennifer, 42, recently sold her Beverly Hills mansion for $38 million and is apparently in a "rush to buy" because she has to be out of the property by the end of the month. Thursday, July 21, 2011 Jennifer Aniston didn't disappoint her legion of fans as she stepped out in a stunning grey dress for the premiere of Horrible Bosses in London.

What IS your secret Miss Aniston?Way back in 1998, Jennifer Aniston had a fresh face, honey-coloured bob and sparkling smile. Thirteen years later she still does. In the two decades since she first appeared in Friends as Rachel Green, the 42-year-old actress has hardly changed. Some might suggest her devotion to yoga workouts could be paying off - or her careful diet.   How does she do it? Miss Aniston (left) at 42 and (right) as Rachel in her Friends days during her 20s ‘I absolutely get more comfortable in my body and in who I am as I get older,’ she has said.   Broadcast beauties: Jameela Jamil (L) and Edith Bowman (R) had both donned their glad rags to rub shoulders with Jennifer Aniston on the blue carpet ‘You feel totally uninhibited and get to explore your weirdest and kinkiest psychological quirks and just exaggerate all the kinds of flirtatious ideas and fantasies you've ever had. ‘You get to enjoy being fearless when you play a character that is so brazen and domineering.’   Ways and means: Made In Chelsea stars Milli Mackintosh, Hugo Taylor and Frederik Ferrier and friend all managed to get on the guest list for the Horrible Bosses London premiere    South Bank blue: MIC's Francis Boulle (L) and Gabriella Ellis were also at the movie premiere as well as TV presenter Zara Martin (R) Earlier this month Jennifer was inducted into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and her new boyfriend Justin Theroux was front row to support his leading lady. Although she kept him hidden while she walked the red carpet at last Thursday's Horrible Bosses premiere in Los Angeles, Justin was pride of place at the drinks later that night. After meeting up inside the premiere, the couple spent an hour and a half at the after-party before heading to the Chateau Marmont to meet friends, including Friends co-star Courteney Cox. An onlooker told People magazine: 'They were super cute. He had his arm around her and kissed her on her cheek. They were whispering in each other's ears.'   Making a statement: The simple but seductive dress showed off the actress's amazing figure and her deep tan U.S. magazine Life & Style says Jennifer introduced her father, John Aniston, to her new beau at Delmonico’s Steak and Lobster House in Los Angeles earlier this month. An onlooker told them: 'She was smiling a lot, but you could tell this was a special event for her.' The magazine said the party enjoyed a long lunch, sharing lobster bisque, Manhattan clam chowder, a crab dish and a four pound lobster washed down with a bottle of red wine.  Comic cast: Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey all took part in the photocall at the Dorchester Hotel ahead of the premiere   Racy: Aniston in a scene from the film Jennifer Aniston: I love the girls, tooJennifer Aniston has hinted that she may have her eyes on women as well as men after she was asked about being a female icon. Glowing: Jennifer Aniston at last night’s premiere of Horrible Bosses at the BFI in London (Picture: Getty) If you heard a thudding sound yesterday afternoon, it well may have been the thump of a few blokes’ jaws dropping to the floor after an inadvertent confession from Jennifer Aniston. ‘I love girls!’ the 42-year-old revealed. ‘Yep, I said it. I love the girls!’ In London to promote her latest role as a sex-crazed dentist in Horrible Bosses, she happily continued the saucy talk. She claimed her co-star Charlie Day had an eventful first day of filming. ‘Within 20 minutes, I was straddling him in lingerie,’ Just Go With It star Aniston revealed. In more toe-curling bedroom chat, she admitted she loved playing a dominatrix. ‘I think it’s nice, we haven’t seen that very often. It’s nice,’ she said. Lucky fans will see her perform a series of eye-watering moves in the film, including gobbling a banana while wearing nothing but her underwear and tugging on a frankfurter with her teeth. ‘I really went for it the whole movie,’ she boasted during her chat inside London’s Dorchester Hotel. And her character, Dr Julia Harris, was something of a novelty for Aniston. ‘I have never come across anyone like her,’ she admitted. ‘So it was pretty much going in to my own dark imagination to see what I could come up with. It’s so outrageous. You can have complete abandonment and have no worries if you are being inappropriate. I like that.’ As for showing off her body at the age of 42, she insisted it was no sweat. ‘I try to keep fit regularly and I just keep in good health and good shape and then those scenes don’t terrify you so much,’ said the unlucky-in-love star. ‘I think it’s better to keep in shape so you don’t have to go crazy.’ You can see Jen in all her saucy glory when Horrible Bosses hits cinemas tomorrow.

Her reputation for playing goody-two-shoes characters in safe romcoms is set to crumble. For in her new comedy, Horrible Bosses, she turns sinister - hamming it up as a dastardly dentist who sexually harasses her assistant. And Jennifer admits she dipped into her own fantasies to make her man-eating character believable. Talking about playing Dr Julia Harris, who blackmails her male assistant, she says: "It was great fun and very liberating to throw myself into this character. "You feel totally uninhibited and get to explore your weirdest and kinkiest psychological quirks and just exaggerate all the kinds of flirtatious ideas and fantasies you've ever had. "You get to enjoy being fearless when you play a character that is so brazen and domineering." "Brazen" and "domineering" are not words normally used to describe the former Friends actress. Until now she has maintained a safe image, most often sparking media interest for nothing more controversial than her haircut or for advertising hair products. But in Horrible Bosses she swears, tells dirty jokes and tries to blackmail her colleague into sleeping with her. The risqué language has even seeped into real life too. It is a surprise to hear swearing from Jennifer - now 42 and as stunning as ever. But discussing how she has gained the confidence to take on risky roles, she says: "Getting older, you get more comfortable in your body and in your skin and who you are, and you have more of a f***-it attitude. "You're so careful and controlled in your twenties and you're just more aware of your every move. "Now, I think there's more of a freedom and a comfort and none of it really matters, as long as you are enjoying yourself and having a really good time. "Not hurting other people - of course, that goes without saying." Letting it all hang out ... Jennifer shows raunchy side in comedy Letting it all hang out ... Jennifer shows raunchy side in comedy Ah, and there the nice Jennifer we all know shows herself again. There is clearly a limit to her darker side. One moment she talks about ceasing to worry about offending people and the next she says she doesn't like to provoke a reaction. She admits: "In my twenties I was blocking myself with a lot of doubts and complex feelings about many different things and it wasn't a pleasant time for me. How a-peel-ing ... Jen strips down to undies in Horrible Bosses How a-peel-ing ... Jen strips down to undies in Horrible Bosses "But I eventually freed myself from that kind of thinking. So when you play a character who is very uninhibited it makes you realise that sometimes it's so much easier to just let go with your thoughts and feelings and not always worry that you might offend someone. "Although obviously I'm not inclined to be provocative and outrageous the way my character thinks she's entitled to behave." The despicable Dr Harris is one of a trio of mean managers in the movie. Another, Dave Harken, is played by Kevin Spacey. But Jennifer insists her screen character is not inspired by any terrible boss she has had in real life. Instead she says the demonic dentist was drawn from brazen women she has known. She says: "She's a product of all of that, although I drew a lot on my observation of some women over the years and how they've behaved towards men. "We've all known men and women who can be outrageous and over-the-top and do things that surprise or shock the more timid among us. The human personality has a very wide range of emotions and behaviours." Jennifer herself has gone through a rollercoaster of emotions in her personal life. She divorced Brad Pitt in 2005 after five years of marriage and since then she has been linked to various leading men, including former co-stars Gerard Butler and Vince Vaughn. Sex-crazed ... Jen and Charlie Day in scene from new movie Sex-crazed ... Jen and Charlie Day in scene from new movie Now she is dating actor Justin Theroux, an American cousin of British TV host Louis Theroux. Justin, 39, who stars alongside Jennifer in the forthcoming film Wanderlust, is also a scriptwriter, with screenplays for Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 to his credit. Jennifer's parents - actor John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow - split up when she was nine, so she has had to figure out for herself how to make relationships work. She says: "I think women's roles in marriage or relationships have definitely changed and that's why we're still searching for a new set of rules or expectations about what all our roles are in a relationship. "The problem is that each couple has to make it up as they go along. You can't necessarily rely on what your parents said or did because you know that doesn't work. Friends ... Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and Rachel Green in hit American sitcom Friends ... Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) and Rachel Green in hit American sitcom "You have to try to find a comfortable way of being with another person and hope you can evolve with that person over the years. "It's easy to fall in love and just enjoy that euphoric sense you get from that. But as you get older you understand that a relationship is much more complex than that and you have to think a lot more about who you are and what you want as well as what your partner expects from you. "But if you can have those kinds of conversations, you're already way ahead of the game." However any man wishing to become a part of Jennifer's life had better not hope to be the dominant figure in the relationship. She clearly has no intention of becoming a housewife. She says: "Women are just becoming stronger and being given more power. Filling bad ... Jennifer Aniston plays maneater dentist Dr Harris Filling bad ... Jennifer Aniston plays maneater dentist Dr Harris "They're not barefoot and pregnant in the kitchens any more. "I think it's been a progression of women empowering themselves. "I don't know if it's called aggressive, because that has a negative connotation to it. "I think women are just strong. I'm sure there are men that may have a problem with that who are still of that time but I think we're all becoming very equal." Horrible Bosses, which opens here next Friday, has a great cast. Completing the trio of mean managers with Jennifer and Kevin Spacey is Colin Farrell. The three are so awful that their employees - played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis - plot to have them bumped off. Bateman is a long-time friend of Jennifer's and she says: "I enjoy having great friendships with men like Jason, who is so adorable. "That's why I'm so happy to have had the chance to work with him lately and see how much his career has taken off again." Horrible Bosses has been both a critical and box office success in the States - and that means directors are more likely to consider Jennifer for non-romcom roles. And she is open to offers. She says: "I don't know what's ahead of me. I would like to do a few dramas along the way, like I did in Derailed, or independent films, but those films are more complicated to finance and I'm not necessarily the first choice. "But I want to do interesting work and get the chance to work with creative and talented people because it truly brings so much to you to have those experiences."
