Once I saw the photos from the Berlin photo call of Just Go With It, I figured that we would be getting premiere pics today too. And how! I guess Jennifer Aniston deserves yet another slow clap for changing up her routine slightly with this dress. I mean, yes, it’s black and short, and she does black and/or short quite a lot. But this short, black Nina Ricci dress had some gunk on the shoulder, and Aniston did something slightly different with the flat iron. Slow clap. Although… when I saw the photo above, my first thought was Madame Butterfly. My second thought was Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. Not good references for Aniston.

Also… I guess Aniston went over to sign autographs and stuff, because the photographers got some extreme closeups of Aniston… and…um…there are pictures of me from my college days that look a lot like this. In college, I called it “maintainin’”. It meant that I found the just-right ratio of bong hits to vodka shots. That’s what Aniston looks like to me… drunk and stoned, and maintainin’.

I like Brooklyn Decker’s Max Mara dress a lot – the lilac color compliments her. That being said, she might be pretty when she gets to pose in a bikini, but the bitch needs some help working a red carpet. In most of the shots I’m looking at, her body looks really awkward. Also: with that rack, she might want to choose dresses that have a tad more support. I’m just sayin’. They aren’t going to be perky forever.

Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston and Brooklyn Decker are promoting Just Go With It in Germany today. The film is actually named “My Imaginary Wife” in Germany, which makes sense because the original English-release title was The Pretend Wife. Anyhoodle, I learned some new things about the cast of Just Go With It today. I learned that although Brooklyn Decker has a great figure and millions of young guys want to do her, Adam and Jennifer will pull rank and insist that they pose together, just the two of them, before Brooklyn is invited to join them. I also learned that Brooklyn has a pretty good bitchface.

As for the fashion faceoff… Team Aniston on this one. I like her little black dress (designer unknown), and I like the necklaces. My only complaint is that she stole this look completely from Reese Witherspoon’s recent Berlin photocall for How Do You Know?- go here to review Reese‘s identical ensemble, down to the long chain necklace. Perhaps this is all about Jake Gyllenhaal?!?

Meanwhile, Brooklyn Decker wore what I’m sure she thought was high-fashion. Maybe it is. It’s looks like the Marc Jacobs pajama-wear-as-high-fashion look from several years ago. But the real star was Brooklyn’s bitchface!

Ashton Kutcher has a new interview on UK’s Graham Norton show in which he reveals that he had a bet with a friend in high school for $1,000 that he would score a date with Jennifer Aniston. Apparently that bet had no time limit, because he’s still trying to win it after sixteen years. Does that mean that Demi was his second choice out of the famous women he lusted after during his formative years? As for his relationship with Demi, he says he’s proud of how long they’ve lasted, since “eight years which in Hollywood years is about 81.” Can we interpret that to mean he’s sick of her? Like Aniston, he’s not that skilled at expressing himself so maybe he just meant that they’re solid. He seems kind of perfect for Aniston in a way. He’s got the douche part down.

“I bet a high school buddy $1,000 that one day I would go on a date with Jennifer Aniston,” Ashton revealed on “The Graham Norton Show” in an episode which airs next week on BBC America. “I was 17 years old and she was on my screensaver.”

The “No Strings attached” star explained to the Irish comedian that when he finally got to Hollywood and had some success, he turned to Jennifer’s then-husband, Brad Pitt, for some help.

“Five years later I actually met her and I asked Brad Pitt’s permission to ask his wife out on a date. He was so cool and said ‘You go for it’ so I asked her and she turned me down,” Ashton said.

While he’s now married, Ashton said he still hopes to win his teenage bet.

“Now we’re friends so it might still happen, but now I have to ask Demi’s permission and I just don’t know how to broach that with the wife… but I do want to win the bet,” he said.

As for his life with Demi, Ashton told Graham he was proud that the two have spent nearly a decade together as a couple.

“It’s been eight years which in Hollywood years is about 81 so there’s extra points for that,” he said.

Their relationship, or at least their domestic bliss, didn’t start out very easy. Ashton admitted he was “extremely single” when he met Demi and it took a while for word to get around that he was taken.

“I was living with a buddy who refused to leave when Demi moved in,” Ashton said of his early household moments with his brunette bombshell, whom he eventually married in 2005.

“But it was kind of a good thing,” Ashton added. “It would be the middle of the night and there would be visitors and he would do a lot of intercepting for me! I wanted to keep the relationship private so [I] didn’t put the word out and its pretty hard to slow that train down.”

After watching the video (above) I think it’s most telling that he prefaced his story about the bet by saying he was 17 when he made it and “I’m living on a farm in the middle of America, [Iowa] really having no chance at having a happy life.” I get it – we don’t want to end up like our parents, but it comes across as callous, like only people in big cities are happy. As far as being offensive it’s very minor, though. It’s not like using the “r” word.

Last year around this time, Jennifer Aniston threw on a pair of yoga pants and did some stretchy poses for Architectural Digest as they tried to take photos of her remodeled Beverly Hills home. These are the photos from the shoot. She bought the home in 2006, and spent two years renovating it until it was a dark, womb-like space full of purples, rock walls, shag carpets and wood. While some people love that, I thought the place looked kind of dated, rather 1970s, Ron Burgundy-inspired. Anyway, People Magazine is announcing that Aniston is selling her dark little castle. Official reason: because she wants to “simplify”. Real reason: because the whole place reeks of booze, reefer, John Mayer spooge and eau d’Chelsea Handler vom. Oh, and she bought the place in 2006 for $13.5 million and now she’s selling it for $42 million! In this market?!?

Jennifer Aniston is ready to “simplify” her life – and is getting started by quietly putting her Beverly Hills home on sale to the tune of $42 million.

The actress, who just celebrated her 42nd birthday, told PEOPLE recently that despite dedicating more than two years of her life to renovating the Zen-influenced retreat, she feels the need to let go of it.

But window shoppers beware: The home will not be listed officially and only an elite group of realtors will have access to the property, real estate sources tell PEOPLE. The sources confirmed the selling price.

The Just Go with It star bought the home she calls “Ohana” – a reference to the Hawaiian idea of extended family – for $13.5 million in 2006. She and her team tore it apart and spent more than two years renovating it, and she moved in just before her 40th birthday in 2009.

Built on a hillside in 1970 with sweeping views of Los Angeles, Aniston told Architectural Digest the single-level home feels “like a hug” and “vibrates with the love that created it.”

So why does she want to move? Her epiphany came, she says, in a moment where she woke up in London and thought, “my life felt really cluttered.”

“I couldn’t sleep and I sort of had one of those moments where I went, I really need to simplify,” PEOPLE’s recent cover girl said. “My life needs to be simplified and clear out the clutter. And along with that thought came, ‘I should sell my house.’ … I had the realization that this is just too much for me. I’m not this person.”

Though Aniston has another smaller home in L.A., she may end up living far, far away from Beverly Hills. “I don’t know, I’m looking for little spots in New York City to go back home,” she said. “There are all sorts of things that are going to be happening in the near future so I’m excited. I don’t know what they are, but that’s the fun part.”

Well, I guess we should give Aniston a slow clap. She never changes anything, so it’s good to see she’s going to give up her Den of Tequila (for a nearly $30 million mark-up). Do you think she’ll ever really move to New York? She has plenty of money, so I wouldn’t be shocked if she kept a place in LA, and one in NYC. Even though she’s giving up this Beverly Hills home, I think she still owns at least one other property in LA too.

For whatever reason, I don’t see her in NYC. I think she should buy a beach house. She belongs at the beach, right? She should invest in a Malibu property.

Jennifer Aniston was on the Rachael Ray show yesterday and I finally got a chance to see it. We heard some advance details, that she said it was “weird’ to be over 40 and be forever labeled as such. She said a few more things that I found interesting. First off, when asked about her resolutions she said she’d like to travel. I was going to say that’s rich coming from a woman who goes to the same resort in Cabo San Lucas year after year, but maybe it’s a resolution for her because she would find it a challenge. Like to me losing 10 pounds is a resolution and I could travel any day, but I’m not a creature of habit like Aniston, who finds comfort in the familiar and keeps healthy habits.

On her resolution this year.
“For instance, I want to travel for fun, and I’ve been saying that for years. I’ve made room for it this year.”

On who she is rooting for at the Oscars
“David Fincher, Social Network. That’s just a brilliant movie. [Alan Sorkin] Imagine that brain to write that.”

On if she can go incognito
“If you can get away from those photographers, the shutterbugs, you can go anywhere, people are lovely. Fans are great, and I think it’s dying down a little bit. I’m gonna just put that out there. In hoping that… what is that book.. positive thinking? Yeah.”

On being over 40
Ray said that people bug her about being over 40 and asking her whether she’s going to have kids. Aniston said “You’re a label when you’re 40… All of a sudden it’s like ‘Wow, for your age, not so bad.’”

On her costars
“[Brooklyn Decker] really held her own. She was adorable. [Nicole Kidman] is such a laugh riot. Nobody expected it.”

On thinking about her diet and exercise
“It’s a really balanced diet. I’m not a sweets person… I don’t work out very day but I will try to do something [like] stretching.”

On what she’s self conscious about
My tush has been an extra area that I’d love to work on. Isn’t that everybody’s?

Her favorite shows on TV now
“Intervention” and “Heavy”

On what she’d do if she wasn’t an actress
“A doctor of some sort… I was always very into medical shows and stuff like that. I was fascinated with the body, I excelled in that. [in school]”

[From The Rachael Ray show, aired 2-16-11]

She came off pretty well on Rachael Ray, except for the part where she couldn’t figure out which new age concept she was referencing by saying she was putting something “out there.” Maybe because that refers to just about every self help book in the world. She still stumbles over her words a lot, but as I’ve said before she’s been that way for a while. A friend of mine had that problem when she switched to a new antidepressant so something like that could be Jennifer’s problem. Or… she could be drunk. Who knows?

Jennifer Aniston had her first number one movie in a while! I don’t know when she’s last had a number one debut… Marley & Me, maybe? No, probably He’s Just Not That Into You. So… it’s been a little while. (Just so I’m fair to the Jenloonies, it’s been an even longer time since Angelina has had a number one movie too, it’s just that her movies make more money in their total run.) It’s especially good news for Aniston because many box-office watchers thought that Justin Bieber’s docu-whatever Never Say Never was going to be a resounding champion. In the end, only about $500,000 separated Just Go With It and Never Say Never.

What does this say about Aniston’s draw specifically? Well, it shows that people still actively want to see her in a movie, and that her contributions towards selling and promoting a movie are still a net plus. It means that she can still make bank, especially when she’s paired with a leading man that everyone loves, like Adam Sandler. It means that no matter the horrible reviews, Aniston still has a significant fan base. Although, as Gawker suggests, the film might have done so well because of irresistible 1990s-nostalia with the pairing of Sandler and Aniston. Plus, Brooklyn Decker in a bikini, splashed over every trailer probably didn’t hurt either.

Also – what does it say about Justin Bieber’s popularity that enough of his fans couldn’t get out to support Never Say Never enough to beat one of the most poorly-reviewed films of the year thus far? Oh, the movie was 3D. And it didn’t play on as many screens. That makes sense. A little bit. And if it helps Bieber out a little bit, in a few years, he’s going to be Aniston’s birthday present to herself. I say… probably her 48th birthday. We’ll get a report about Aniston “having an intimate dinner” with her new young cub, The Bieb.

Rounding out the top five this weekend: Gnomeo and Juliet at number three, making $25.5 million for its debut (yay!), The Eagle at number four with $8.6 million, and The King’s Speech at number five with $7.4 million. Sigh… I wish everyone that went to see Just Go With It and Never Say Never had gone to see The King’s Speech. It seriously is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

Last month, I wrote a post called “Taylor Swift is the new Jennifer Aniston”. There was a report floating around that Aniston sauntered over to Taylor Swift at the People’s Choice Awards and told Taylor to “hang in there” after Jake Gyllenhaal had dumped Swift over the phone. This struck me as funny/interesting because if you really give the personal lives/publicity campaigns around Swifty and Aniston a cursory look, they are strikingly similar these days. You might even say Swifty is the younger, twangier Aniston. Aniston Lite, if you will. Anyway, Life & Style reports that Jake is all over Aniston Classic – the two apparently spent Jennifer’s birthday (yesterday) by having an “intimate dinner”. In my mind, “intimate dinner” equals “Aniston getting hammered on 42 tequila shots and trying to make out with Jake while he gives the waiter the sexy side-eye.”

Life & Style’s Scene Queens can exclusively reveal that Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 42nd birthday on Feb. 11 by having an intimate dinner with Jake Gyllenhaal in NYC.

The startlet took a break from her whirlwind promotional tour for her new film Just Go With It and made her way to The Spotted Pig restaurant where she dined in a private room with a group of friends and her former hunky co-star.

“Jake and Jen looked really happy and really seemed to be enjoying themselves,” an eyewitness tells the Scene Queens. “They looked like they were strategizing a way to exit the restaurant probably because they didn’t want to be photographed together.”

Shortly after their discussion Jen exited the restaurant with her friends in tow. Though Jake was not in the group, it is possible he could have snuck out the back door while no one was looking.

This romantic birthday dinner only adds fuel to the fire that Jen and Jake’s longtime friendship could be something more. The duo was spotted just weeks ago at a pre Golden Globes party in L.A where they were flirty. Despite their 11-year age difference, Jen and Jake have had a strong bond since they filmed The Good Girl in 2002.

“We took care of each other,” Jen has said about Jake. While the timing may have been off in the past, both Jake and Jen are currently single.

“Jen and Jake looked very comfortable with each other,” the eyewitness tells us. “They were glowing.”

[From Life & Style]

My only problem with this is the identification of Aniston as a “starlet”. Forty-two is too old to be a “starlet”. Just call her an actress or a star. But yes, Jake and Jennifer, making sweet, sweet love. This isn’t the first time there have been rumors about the two of them. I remember an incident, I believe in 2007, back when Jake was dating Reese Witherspoon. Jake presented an award to Jennifer at some event for… GLAAD, I want to say. And Jennifer basically dry humped him on the stage and people were all “Jennifer is trying to steal Jake from Reese!” Honestly, though, Jake and Jennifer aren’t the worst idea. His image took a hit with the Swifty stuff, so now he’s trying to butch it up with Madame Cougar/Miss People Magazine. Aniston’s fan base will embrace him once again and next week we’ll have stories about how Jake is “hotter” than Brad Pitt and how Brad is texting Jennifer because he’s so worried that Jake will break her heart. Good stuff.

Also – these photos are from 2005. Look how different both of them look!

It was just about a year ago that US Weekly claimed that Jennifer Aniston “stole” Angelina Jolie’s look because she dared to wear a dress of a completely different fabric, color and cut that just happened to have a sexy thigh high slit, a designer gown feature that has been popular for years.

Aniston recently wore a strapless black dress with a long sheer skirt, somewhat similar but in no way identical to Angelina’s strapless Elie Saab from the 2009 Oscars. This is not even close to a “who wore it best?” moment, as Aniston’s Dolce & Gabbana dress has a different bodice, neckline, design and fit than Angelina’s. They’re both black dresses with some superficially similar details though, so US is going to go there. Their headline reads “Jennifer Aniston copies Angelina Jolie’s style.” As wrong as they are, I admire that they’re one of the last mainstream celebrity outlets that is willing to be so provocative and bitchy. They sure have it out for Aniston, though, and that’s been true for some time.

Aniston is not my favorite person because I like my celebrities to be able to string a sentence together, but even I will admit that this is a cheap shot. Is she supposed to have her people review all of Angelina’s outfits for the past several years to ensure that she choses something that’s radically different for every event? If Aniston starts wearing shapeless boat neck dresses (and you know that’s not going to happen) then they can make a comparison. She should do it just to get people talking smack, since they’re going to do it anyway.

In related news about Aniston and the Just Go With It premiere, Heidi Montag has backtracked on her comments that Aniston had her banned from the red carpet. The way Heidi explained her gaffe makes it sound like she made up the story.

Oh and it’s also Aniston’s 42nd birthday today! Hope it’s a good one with lots of sun and plenty of margaritas. Or, you know, like any other day for her. Must be nice.

As slurry as Jennifer Aniston may come across in interviews, she can be cunning like a fox. Plastic surgery victim Heidi Montag whined to US Weekly that she was banned from the premiere of Just Go With It, in which she has some kind of cameo featuring her tits and ass, due to the 41 year-old divorcee’s influence. From what Heidi said, Aniston pulled rank and made sure that Montag wasn’t able to walk the red carpet. Given the way that Heidi and Spencer work the media I wouldn’t be surprised if Heidi made this whole thing up for publicity after realizing she’d gained five pounds and could no longer fit into the skintight dress she picked out for the premiere. Aniston’s publicist suggested as much.

Although Heidi Montag had a cameo in the star’s comedy, Just Go With It, she claims she wasn’t allowed to walk the carpet at the flick’s NYC premiere Tuesday.

“I’m so upset,” the former reality star, 24, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now). “I was so excited! This is the first movie I’ve ever been in and I can’t walk the red carpet because Jennifer Aniston decided I was ‘too polarizing.’”

Montag, who renewed her vows with husband Spencer Pratt, 27, in November after their very public split adds that she had already designed her own dress for the event and made a deal with producers not to go to any events beforehand.

“I’ve been such a huge Jennifer Aniston fan my entire life and it’s just really upsetting that she would do this to me,” says Montag. “She should know how hard it is to make a career for yourself and to have someone like Jennifer Aniston go out of her way to make things hard for me is really disheartening.”

However a rep for Aniston, 41, claims she has no issues with the reality star. “This is absolutely false. Jennifer has nothing to do with who was or was not invited,” her rep tells Us

[From US Weekly]

If this is true, points to Aniston! Heidi said Aniston’s full name too many times though, it’s like a tell that she’s making this up. “Jennifer Aniston said I was polarizing… I’m a Jennifer Aniston fan… Jennifer Aniston went out of her way for me,” etc. She’s really saying “If I say her name enough times like Candyman I’ll magically appear in a story alongside her.” “Vowla” (as Heidi spells it) her wish came true! Let me try the magic formula – “Jennifer Aniston told Kaiser she’s not an alcoholic… Jennifer Aniston said she’s telling the truth about wanting babies sometime far off in the future… Jennifer Aniston said she still talks to Brad.” Now all I have to do is wait. It worked for Perez Hilton!

Aniston was on Good Morning America today and you can watch her interview below. She said it was really fun working with Adam Sandler and that they were dying laughing when they saw the final movie at the premiere. The clip they showed wasn’t that funny though. She also said she’s looking for a place to live in New York City.

This is the weirdest story. Life & Style has an interview with Perez Hilton in which he discusses in detail his conversation/confrontation with Jennifer Aniston. As you may remember, when Aniston was on Ellen last week, she told a story about how she saw Perez out in public somewhere, and she went over to him and asked “Why are you so mean?” They had a conversation about bullying, I guess, or at least that was Aniston’s version of it. But according to Perez, he had some questions for Aniston too. Like, “Do you hate Angelina Jolie?” And according to Perez, Aniston had an answer.

For the first time, Jen Aniston opens up about her feelings toward Angelina Jolie–to famous gossip blogger Perez Hilton! Jen recently told Ellen DeGeneres about her August run in with Perez in an LA parking garage and now, he’s finally revealing the details of their conversation including what she now thinks of Angelina Jolie –exclusively to Life & Style.

When Perez asked Jen point-blank if she hates Angelina, “Jen said, ‘Look, that was so long ago, and we’ve moved on and we’re all adults,’” Perez tells Life & Style. And Perez believes Jen. “I believe what she has to say. I think she really has moved on.”

Jen is even in touch with ex Brad Pitt. In his conversation with Jen, Perez tells Life & Style, she reaffirmed, “I still talk to Brad and everything’s fine.” But it seems Jen is more than just fine. In fact, when he asked her about dating, she revealed that people who assume she’s lonely have it wrong.

“She told me that she dates a lot,” Perez tells the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now. “And just makes sure not to go anywhere public.”

[From Life & Style]

Here’s my question: this is a decent scoop, and God knows that Bermuda Triangle stories sell, so why didn’t Perez use this “interview” with Jennifer Aniston on his site? The only possible answer I can come up with is that stuff Perez said about how it was a “private” conversation between he and Aniston, and he wasn’t going to reveal anything, except that Aniston revealed it to Ellen. Whatever.

As for Aniston (allegedly) saying that she’s moved on… well… it was a yes or no question, and Aniston didn’t give a simple yes or a no. So there’s that. But sure, for this post only, and for argument’s sake, I’ll buy that Aniston has “moved on” and that they’re “all adults.” Why not? Oh wait… her People Magazine article has her drunkenly discussing her exes. Nevermind.
