Yesterday we published the story that Aniston was partying it up in Los Cabos, Mexico with Courteney Cox, Sheryl Crow and Courteney’s family for the holiday. Flynet online has some pictures of the group out to dinner, and it looks like Los Cabos is a favorite with celebrities this season. Apprentice winner Bill Rancic and his girlfriend E! star Giuliana DiPandi were there along with Nicollette Sheridan and Michael Bolton. Flynet reports that they all ate together at the same restaurant on New Year’s eve. Adam Sandler and his wife were also seen out in Los Cabos that day.

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and her family spent the week between Christmas and News Years at an exclusive resort in Los Cabos , Mexico. The former stars of Friends and the pop music singer spent a relaxing week in the sun along with Courteney’s husband, David Arquette, and their two and half year old daughter, Coco:

Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox enjoyed a tropical holiday in Mexico during the week between Christmas and New Years, Star has learned. Singer Sheryl Crow went along with the two BFFs, as well as Courteney’s husband David Arquette and their daughter Coco, who’s now 2 and a half years old. “They flew into the Los Cabos airport on Dec. 27,” an insider tells Star. “They were shuttled to their resort in a new, luxuriously Chevrolet Suburban. They stayed at the posh, five-star resort, Esperanza.” The resort is a luxurious, top-of-the-line Auberge hotel, known for its plush amenities, fantastic location on the gorgeous turquoise Sea of Cortez, and high level of guest security. Both Jennifer and Courteney have vacationed in Los Cabos before.

Aniston recently beat out her nemesis, Angelina Jolie, in a Parade magazine poll of best celebrity bodies. Aniston came in second to Jessica Alba, with Beyonce in third. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were voted top celebrity mother and father.

Advance buzz on Cox’s new show on the FX Network, Dirt, is mixed. Cox plays a ruthless tabloid editor with conspirators that include a schizophrenic paparazzo. Some reviewers claim the show isn’t fun enough and can drag at times. Dirt premieres Tuesday night at 9:00 PM.

Star magazine is reporting the unsurprising news that Jennifer Aniston has no intention of sitting down with Angelina Jolie for a little heart to heart. Angelina mentioned in a recent interview that she would love to have a little chat with Aniston. She claimed that nothing happened between her and Brad while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but her comments that Brad was married to his “best friend” must have seemed like a backhanded dig to Aniston, who is said to have tried to get over the onslaught of news about her ex and his gorgeous fertile partner by doing yoga and bawling.

Now Star points out that Angelina requested several meetings with Aniston before that were all turned down. They quote a psychologist who says that Angelina is just trying to get over her man-stealing guilt by extending a PR olive branch to Aniston.

They’re really just stating the obvious, and might not have any insider information:

Apparently Angelina’s comments were particularly infuriating because the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star had forgotten to mention that Jen had already rebuffed several previous attempts at reconciliation! “Jen says Angelina could have told Vogue that she had already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her,” says the source.

Angelina’s comments, including her claim that she and Brad Pitt, 43, were just “very, very good friends” during filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and only became lovers after he and Jen had separated, have put Aniston in a funk as the holidays approach, the source tells Star. “Angelina has opened up some old wounds with Jen, wounds she thought had healed,” the source tells Star. “It seems like revisionist history to her to paint this picture of how Angelina and Brad got together. Jen says a lot of it is plain bull!”

The article goes on to say that Aniston is perplexed that Angelina is bringing up all this old shit. They quote a psychologist who says that “There is a manipulative aspect on Angelina’s part in requesting this sit-down. Angelina wants to alleviate her guilt. It’s better for Jen to move on than to forgive this person. A sit-down isn’t going to help Jen at all.”

Jen is said to be “in a fragile state” now that she’s alone for the holidays. There was speculation that she almost ran into her more recent ex Vince Vaughn at the Beverly Hills Hotel over Christmas, but only Courteney Cox and David Arquette were at the hotel at the same time as Vaughn. Aniston was nowhere to be found.

It does seem really rude of Angelina to request a sit down with Aniston. If my husband left me for someone else unexpectedly I’d steer clear of her too.

These old pictures of Brad and Jen in June 2000 show how much alike they once were. Thanks to SimplyBrad for these pics.

I read a quote from George Clooney that was sourced to a Newsweek interview in which he completely ripped on Jennifer Aniston’s prolonged non-relationship with Vince Vaughn. It sounded really harsh to me and I assumed it was a fake quote that was attributed to a source to make it seem real.

It began on the set of a film called “the break-up,” so let’s face it: the Vince Vaughn-Jennifer Aniston romance was doomed. It met its official, flack-certified demise last week, but it sounded over many times before.

The interview is easy to find on Newsweek’s website, and it’s basically a fluff piece in which Clooney talks about the frequent rumors that stars are getting married on his estate and reveals that his beauty routine consists of washing his face with plain soap and cutting his own hair. There’s nothing about Jennifer Aniston in the current article.

When I searched on some phrases from the quote I thought was fake, that same article came up in the Google cache with the statements about Aniston. The article was titled differently before the quote was removed, and was called “Newsmakers: George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston.” Now it’s just called “Newsmakers: George Clooney.”

At first I thought “Holy crap, George Clooney really hates Jennifer Aniston and tried to cover it up,” but it just looks like Newsweek had some trouble translating a print page to the web. That quote is not from Clooney at all, it’s a brief entertainment blurb that was tacked onto the end of the Clooney Q&A. The bold part is not worded like a question, and given the old title “Newsmakers: George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston,” it seems like it’s just another part of this entertainment section and was probably designed in the magazine with an inset box or put off to the side so you can tell it’s not part of the Clooney interview.

Here’s the cached Google version. There’s also a screenshot of it, because I’m ocd that way.
Here’s the actual version on Newsweek’s website, without that bit about Aniston.

You may read that quote around the web, and Clooney just didn’t say it. (Of course I was hoping Clooney really did say this, and had his people request that it be deleted from the article, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the case.)

Jennifer Aniston’s rep sent a pretty thoughtful letter to Perez Hilton about his attacks on Jen for acting like she was still with Vince for all this time. (Word is they were just friends with benefits and split up months ago.) He said he gets that Perez is mean like that, but doesn’t understand why he goes after Aniston and babycorn-mouth Dunst when they’re such nice people. (Dunst is kind of growing on me after she hosted an art benefit for children and didn’t get a lot of publicity for it.)

The most telling thing about the letter to Perez is that Aniston’s rep says that he never claimed that Aniston and Vaughn were together all this time - he just said that they weren’t engaged. In fact he kind of admits that they’ve been apart for a while and is careful to say he never claimed otherwise:

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted an item accusing Aniston and her rep Stephen Huvane of lying about the split for months (Huvane called reports of a break-up “rubbish,” while Aniston appeared on the cover of People magazine under the headline “Defending Their Love” and went on The Oprah Winfrey Show to insist she and Vaughn were still going strong).

Within hours, Huvane emailed Perez in response and asked for him to lighten up on Aniston, and even brought his other client Kirsten Dunst into the mix. He wrote:

Hey there.

Just saw your item and wanted to correct you. I understand that being mean is your thing and honestly I am not trying to convince you to be any other way. If that’s what makes you happy then by all means go ahead and be mean. It’s just that if you are going to be mean then try being right. We never told People magazine that Jennifer and Vince were still together. Just do a little research and you will find that we told People.com that Jennifer was not engaged, had not been proposed to, and had no ring.

Your venom towards Jennifer and Kirsten [Dunst] is something I will never quite understand because if you actually knew these two ladies you would really like them.

I hope you will fix your item but my expectations are really low.

Stephen Huvane

Perez then vehemently points out that Aniston and her rep did lie to People and that Aniston told Oprah in October she was still with Vince. Her half-whispered “yeah” response wasn’t that convincing though and no one bought it. He notes that Aniston’s rep also called reports of their split “rubbish,” but it’s possible the publicist is splitting hairs and that it was rubbish that they broke up at that time. Guess it depends on what your definition of a breakup is, since a couple can’t split up if they’re never together.

Update:
Old picture, new story. At the end of the story it’s pretty clearly stated that this picture is old and that this news was circulating before.

Holy Moley, a weekly British gossip e-mail service that is similar to popbitch, is reporting that Jennifer Aniston has been visiting Vince Vaughn on the London set of his new film, and that she’s quite obviously pregnant. I thought these two were broken up a long time ago, and if Aniston is in London why haven’t we seen pictures? Oh, that’s right, no one gives a shit about her any more.

Also, the power-players on the set (we all know it’s the drivers) report than Jennifer Aniston has been dragging her huge chin there to watch her beau spin out strands of comedy magic, and she’s quite obviously lugging a mini-Vince around in her womb as she’s sweating for two.

The poor sods who have to do the real acting (learning words and not just standing there with a quizzical look and gurning), Paul Giametti and John Michael Higgins, are described as “lovely”.

[From the Holy Moley weekly e-mail newsletter]

Holy Moley also reports that Vaughn is rewriting the script of his new film between takes, delaying production and probably costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I thought Aniston was pregnant when she looked a bit paunchy at the premieres of “The Break Up,” back in June but that turned out not to be true. If she’s pregnant now it might be just what she needs to get some publicity and get her career back on track. She most likely realizes this. I’m not saying she convinced Vince to leave the condom off or anything, but it seems possible to me - if this suspect gossip is even true. Life & Style was also calling her pregnant in June. It’s possible she is visiting Vince and she just has a little bitty tummy.

Jennifer Aniston acted on Broadway for the first time yesterday in the 6th Annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway benefit, with proceeds to go toward arts education for needy NY city children. She joined Rosie Perez, Nia Vardalos, Anna Paquin and Liev Schrieber in lending her time and talent to the project, which involved six 10-minute plays written and performed within a day.

Actors had to bring their own props and clothing, and Aniston brought along a chef’s jacket. Her coworkers for the day praised her professionalism. Her quick performance as a single woman who has trouble dating was said to be quite convincing.

This is Aniston’s first well publicized charity stint. She quipped during a press conference this summer that “No, I’m not interested in any of that” when asked if she was curious about the war in Iraq or environmental causes, concluding “I like to just focus on me and my tabloid career.” Some people praised her self-depricating humor while others noted that it was quite revealing of Aniston’s true nature.

Last week the former Friends star purchased a $15 million home in LA right next to Courteney Cox and David Arquette’s house. It was designed in the 1970s by architect Hal Levitt and is being rebuilt. As you can see in the gallery it’s a stunning modern mansion. Aniston has been renting a two bedroom house on the beach in Malibu this summer. It is thought that she paid upwards of $30,000 a month rent.

Here are pictures of Aniston’s new home and some candids of her out in NY on 10/19. [via] and [via]

Is everyone else as over Jennifer Aniston as I am? These shots of her walking a bunch of dogs on the beach kind of capture it all for me. It’s the end of summer and she’s got a great body but is otherwise forgettable in a white tank top and old cut off shorts.

She was ranked number one in People’s best dressed list, but it must have been judged by Simon Cowell because all she ever wears is drab black.

Next month she’s going to appear with other stars in a one-day Broadway benefit with the proceeds to go to bringing the arts to underprivileged NY City kids. Despite what some commentors claim, this is the first I’ve heard of her doing charity work.

What is with all the dogs here? Are they all hers or is she puppy-sitting? She got a new dog just a few weeks ago, and it looks like she has added to the pack.

I got this caption idea from Hot Momma Drama, and the pictures are from Lime-Light.

The NY Post’s Cindy Adams reports that a long-rumored “Friends” reunion is now in the works, and that holdout Jennifer Aniston finally agreed to it:

A while ago it was rumored that Lisa Kudrow said that “one of the guys” was holding up the reunion after Kathleen Turner let it slip that she was approached to reprise her role as Chandler’s mom, but then Kudrow denied that a reunion was in the works.

Now that Cindy Adams has reported it, it’s probably true, and I can’t wait! I love that show, although it’s hard to watch now that I have such a poor opinion of Aniston. She must have realized how much she owes to “Friends” and maybe she’ll be grateful to the show for making her famous.
