For the most part, when everyone is going on and on about how great Jennifer Aniston looks, I truly feel a sense of mystery. Sure, she has a great figure, and her commitment to blowouts and blonde highlights are legendary. But her style can be hit-or-miss, and the combination of everything she puts together usually gives me a big “meh”. Now, all that being said, I LOVE the way she looked at last night’s Elle Magazine event. As you remember, Aniston was selected as the cover girl for their “Women In Hollywood” issue, and so she was one of the biggest names at the event.

Aniston selected this metallic gray Kaufmanfranco mini-dress which looks absolutely stunning on her. I’ve always said that she should try bolder colors, but now I’m saying that she should definitely wear more metallics and grays. I’m not even put off by the “look at my boobs” vibe of the dress – in fact, I rather like it. If you’re going to do a deep-V-neck, this is one of the best ways to do it – covered arms, a skirt the perfect length, and then hit ‘em with the cleavage. Basically, I would love to own this dress. It’s beautiful and sexy and perfect for her. And don’t even start with the pregnancy rumors, either. Those are her normal boobs. They are not pregnant-boobs. Basically, this is the best she’s looked in MONTHS.

Guess who else was at the Elle event? Chelsea Handler, Jennifer’s BFF. Chelsea is a “woman in Hollywood” now, because she’s an “actress” now! Chelsea looks okay (for her). The skirt doesn’t fit her, but the colors are pretty. And her face looks less busted too. Well done, Chelsea.

Last week, we covered the first excerpts from Jennifer Aniston’s Elle Magazine cover profile. It wasn’t a traditional cover story, though – Aniston was chosen as the cover girl for the “Women In Hollywood” issue, which… I disagree with. I disagree with using Aniston as the de facto poster girl for a successful women in Hollywood. It’s not that she’s NOT successful in a financial sense (she is), and she’s definitely one of the few women who producers consider “able to open” (although she has difficulties opening without a strong male lead). But in a magazine issue where you’re trying to celebrate the achievements of interesting, diverse, talented ladies, I just think there are much better potential cover girls to choose from. Think of the ladies who have turned in stunning, award-winning work this year. Kate Winslet. Mia Wasikowska. Viola Davis. Evan Rachel Wood. Claire Danes. But I digress…

So, Aniston and the excerpts. Everyone paid attention to her comments on babies – “There’s no desperation. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I’m at peace with whatever the plan is. But will you hate me if I say I don’t want to talk about my relationship?” But there are more gems in the print interview:

On the Horrible Bosses script and typecasting: “My jaw dropped. I thought ‘Wow. What took so long?’ I’ve been categorized as that rom-com girl-next-door thing. But we’re actors. If given the chance, we can pull some other stuff off.”

On the tabloids: “I remember being on the cover of Us Weekly – willingly! Not with my head stuck next to somebody else’s going, Jen Versus so-and-so! Rage! Scandal! Bullsh-t!”

Advice to her younger self: “Stop taking everything so seriously. Stop being so sensitive. [That changed for me] probably about six, seven years ago. It’s the moment you come from the ashes and go, This is nothing.”

On The Break-up: “It was summer in Chicago – happy, happy times. I look at this picture and think of marriage. How many times have you been in a relationship when nobody is budging?”

On her most surreal Hollywood moment: “I’ve had many. I’ve been lucky. But I would have to say it was meeting Sophia Loren backstage at the Oscars. That was a pretty good one. I was like Cindy Brady in that Brad Bunch episode where she was on the game show and she just stared at that red light.”

Was there a role she fought for but didn’t win? “I’ve lost all the battles that I fought for.”

Did she have regrets when she saw someone else in the role? “No, I sat there and went, ‘That actually was better that way.’”

On a time when she stood up to a male director: “I threw a chair at a director. It wasn’t my proudest moment. He was treating a script supervisor horribly… When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him. I missed, of course. I was like, ‘You can’t speak to people like that.’ I can’t tolerate it.”

I found her comments about Horrible Bosses interesting – “I’ve been categorized as that rom-com girl-next-door thing. But we’re actors. If given the chance, we can pull some other stuff off.” That’s always the hit against Aniston, that she rarely breaks out of the rom-com mold. On this, I’ll defend her slightly: Audiences tend to actively dislike films where she tries to do something different. Remember that one she did with Clive Owen, where she was, like, the femme fatale? Hardly anyone bought it. But Horrible Bosses did okay, and maybe she’ll be doing more of that.

Oh, by the way – she’s not pregnant. Us Weekly had a story yesterday about Aniston and Theroux partying with the SNL cast over the weekend, and they said that Jennifer was drinking Grey Goose. So… she’s still getting her drink on, and there’s no BABY. You can read the piece here – there’s a mention of how “cute” she and Justin are together, and how he’s a “complete gentleman”. Because those are the new keywords that her publicist drops into every report these days.

Throughout this whole Jennifer Aniston-Justin Theroux “romance (from behind) for the ages,” Justin’s ex-girlfriend Heidi Bivens has stayed quiet. The closest she came to telling her story is when one of her “friends” went to Page Six in June to confirm that Heidi and Justin had just broken up after 14 years together – putting the date of their official breakup as the second week of June.

Now, Justin and Jennifer had been seen together in public several times before the second week of June, and as one of Aniston’s Five coworkers said in an interview to People, Justin was hanging around the Five set and being introduced as Jennifer’s “boyfriend” back in April. There’s also the hair conspiracy with the first batch of Terry Richardson photos, as well as unnamed-source-driven stories in Us Weekly, claiming that Justin and Jennifer had an affair last year while they worked on Wanderlust. So… I don’t know, I think it’s pretty clear that Jennifer and Justin started (at some point) BEFORE he had ended things with Heidi, and definitely before Heidi moved out of the NYC apartment they shared.

And now another “friend” of Heidi’s has gone to the press to talk about how much Heidi hates Jennifer and Justin’s New York lovefest:

Justin Theroux’s ex would like Manhattan all to herself!

New York City stylist Heidi Bivens — whom Theroux left after 14 years to take up with Jennifer Aniston, sources say — “has stopped talking to Justin,” a pal tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now).

“She doesn’t want to know anything about him and Jen,” the pal adds, “though she’d like a heads-up on any marriage or baby news.”

The insider adds that Bivens, 35, “wishes they’d leave NYC already. It’s hard to move on, knowing they’re in the same city.”

Theroux, 40, and Aniston, 42, arrived in NYC in mid-September. They are currently cohabiting at the Horrible Bosses star’s West Village apartment and have often been spotted looking at home good together.

[From Us Weekly]

Is it just me, or is Heidi a truly sympathetic figure in this whole mess? When Justin dumped her, Heidi really wasn’t left with much. She had to move out of the apartment they shared, she (likely) didn’t have much of a savings and Justin wasn’t legally obligated to pay her any alimony because they weren’t married… although if Heidi wanted to fight that, I’m sure she could have made a case for common-law marriage. After all, they were together for 14 years. I’m also sympathetic towards her because she hasn’t personally come out and said anything, and even on the rare occasion when her “friends” say something, they’re not doing a hatchet-job on Justin or Jennifer. It seems like Heidi is just hurt and struggling with the fact that her ex screwed around on her and is now acting like a D-Bag Supreme all around NYC, HER city. Poor girl.

True and funny story: People Magazine’s online excerpt of this Jennifer Aniston Elle Mag profile was tagged “Naomi Watts” at first. I guess because the photo looks kind of like Naomi? Jennifer was profiled for Elle Magazine’s “Women In Hollywood” annual issue. I feel like Jennifer was just on the cover of Elle – the editors over there love her and put her on at least one cover a year. As for the cover shot… I don’t have any strong opinions about it one way or the other. The skirt is fug and Jennifer’s hair is in her face too much, but it’s a more interesting photo than just a typical smiley head shot. Enough about the photo, though. Because Aniston is talking ‘bout babies (and no, she‘s not confirming or denying that OK! Mag story). Here are the two quotes that Elle has released:

On the baby rumors: “But it’s not what you read. There’s no desperation. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I’m at peace with whatever the plan is. But will you hate me if I say I don’t want to talk about my relationship?”

On a time when she stood up to a male director: “I threw a chair at a director. It wasn’t my proudest moment. He was treating a script supervisor horribly… When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him. I missed, of course. I was like, ‘You can’t speak to people like that.’ I can’t tolerate it.”

[From Elle]

On one side, I admire Aniston’s laissez faire attitude about babies, especially in the face of a decade and a half of wild speculation about her womb (even though some of the womb speculation was self-inflicted by Aniston). On the other side, the attitude of “There’s no desperation. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be” seems strangely aloof for such an important decision in a person’s life. I mean, it’s whether or not you become a parent, not whether or not you should order Chinese food. Shouldn’t you have strong feelings about it? Shouldn’t you accept some responsibility in the decision-making process instead of throwing your lot to the Fates?

Aniston’s decision-making process, also known as her publicist, does involve Justin Theroux for the foreseeable future. People Magazine ran a very “cute” story about Justin and Jennifer in Washington, D.C.:

At least one thing is working right in Washington, D.C.: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s hot new romance The new couple got cozy over dinner Monday night at Fiola, a restaurant on Pennsylvania Avenue, where the pair were “very, very cute together,” a source tells PEOPLE.

And Jen and Justin were not alone. They were joined for the meal by a Lifetime executive, as well as Jeanne Tripplehorn and Patricia Clarkson, all of whom were involved with the TV channel’s film anthology, Five (premiering Oct. 10), for which Aniston directed one of the segments.

Calling Aniston, 42, and Theroux, 40, “very cutesy,” the witness also says, “They were paying attention to each other. They ate the same thing.”

Their dinner order? A salad, plus the tagliatelle with Alba white truffle, a $65 pasta entrée. For dessert, they ordered the bonboloni pastry made with ricotta cheese.

“They loved those,” says the source, who was “surprised – in a good way – they would eat all that.”

As for the dinner party, which went on until about 11 p.m., “They had a great time, all of them. They were laughing. It was like a group of friends,” says the source.

But most eyes in the place were focused on Jen and Justin, who had been “talking and smiling to each other, like any couple would do,” says the source.

[From People]

Ugh, I hate cheesy desserts. I’m not a cheese person, though. I prefer desserts with chocolate or some kind of ice cream. But you did get the “cute” memo, right? Jennifer and Justin are “cute” now. “Cute” is the new “hugging him from behind.” I do wonder what Justin is feeling right now – where’s his hipster cred? He’s no longer hardcore. He no longer gets to front like he’s 1970s-Al-Pacino-cool. He’s just “cute”. Almost sexless, right?

Speaking of Justin’s transformation, Life & Style (via Jezebel) has a story about how Jennifer gave Justin a makeover. Even though Aniston “fell for him right away” (last year, when he was with Heidi, I’m assuming), she still felt “he needed some fixing up.” She made him get a haircut, shave his beard, and get a spray tan. An acquaintance of Justin’s tells L&S: “He used to be kind of negative, just critical and down on life. Now he’s totally positive. Than God he met Jennifer!” WTF? Spray tans = positive energy?

With that title I don’t mean to say that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant again, but that OK! is calling her pregnant again when that might not be the case. Their last “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” cover, or at least the last one that we bothered to talk about, was in March of this year. At that time I did a composite of OK! Magazine covers declaring Aniston pregnant, and there were three others that I could find from 2010 and 2009. It’s been a whole six months since we ran that story, so I may as well include those older covers here again. They range in veracity from deliberately misleading to entirely made up, and include keywords like “exclusive,” “confirmed” and “revealed.” At least in this case they’re admitting pretty much on the cover (above) that the story is based on photo assumptions. They could be right too, as a lot of you have been wondering the same thing. I doubt it, though. Here’s more.

Living in NYC with Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston can’t stop smiling – and seems to be showing a bump

As fall begins chilling the New York City air, freshly minted Manhattanite Jennifer Aniston has swapped her tank tops for jackets, scarves and peacoats as she walks hand in hand — while smiling ear to ear — with beau Justin Theroux along the winding streets of their West Village neighborhood. But outerwear can’t cover up an obvious change in her svelte physique — a curvier, more buxom shape — and the suggestion of a bulge around the belly.

And so tongues are wagging: Is Jen pregnant at 42?

“She hasn’t announced it, but all of her friends seem to think it’s finally happened,” an insider tells OK!. “Whenever anyone hints around the question, Jen gets really giggly and shy. It certainly has all of her friends buzzing, and Jen seems to be loving it!”

If Jen is with child, it wouldn’t be surprising. As one close pal notes, she and Justin share a desire to start a family “immediately.”

“Jen would be an adoring mother,” her best friend, Kristen Hahn (a bridesmaid at Jen’s wedding to Brad Pitt) tells OK!.

“She would have boundaries, but the adoration would be big, big, big.” And solid, unpretentious Justin seems like excellent daddy material. “He’s a really good guy,” the friend says. “He makes Jen really happy and brings out the best in her. Justin’s down to earth and doesn’t handle fake people or situations. And he isn’t put off by Jen’s fame. He loves her and everything about her, and that includes that his life is now public.”

Also public are the couple’s displays of affection — unusual for Jen. She was never the clingy, hand-holding type, but with Justin she’s as demonstrative and dreamy-eyed as a sophomore dating the star quarterback.

“She’s glowing; every time you ask how she’s doing, she gets a schoolgirl smile and laughs,” another good friend tells OK!. “She hasn’t been this happy in a long, long time. You can really see what a difference Justin has made in her.

Aniston moved to New York, she’s in a new relationship, and she’s eating out a lot. Her routine is probably different, and maybe she doesn’t have time to work out like she used to. She looks fabulous as always, but she may have gained a little weight that we can barely notice, it happens. Those comments from Aniston’s BFF Kristen Hahn about what a great mother she would be came out over a week ago, and I’m pretty sure she was asked that question directly. It’s not like Hahn is the source for this article or anything. That said, I would love to see Aniston have a baby. I know it sounds cheesy, but she seems solid in her relationship and I think she would make a good mom. She’s always said she wants kids too, so I would bet she’s happily trying. Plus it was like a month ago that US ran their “Jennifer Aniston: Baby Countdown” cover story. That sounded to me like it was from her publicist. This story, not so much.

And here are some of the older OK covers calling Aniston pregnant.

March 21, 2011 “A Baby On My Own”

July 5, 2010: “Yes! I am Having a Baby”

April 19, 2010 “Confirmed: Finally, a Baby for Jen!”

October 5, 2009 “Exclusive: Pregnant at 40!”

9/26/11. Not looking pregnant at all.

Here are some new photos of Jennifer Aniston and some of the other ladies involved in Lifetime’s Five, at the premiere in Washington, D.C. last night. Aniston didn’t get dressed up to the nines – she just wore a simple blazer and a great pair of black boots – I think those boots are the same ones she’s been wearing all over NYC. She looks nice.

Before the D.C. premiere, Aniston did a breast cancer awareness event with Jill Biden, wife of VPOTUS, in Alexandria, Virginia:

It’s not often you hear the names “Jill Biden” and “Jennifer Aniston” in the same sentence. But the two women came together today in support of breast cancer research, visiting the the Breast Care Center at the Inova Alexandria Hospital at Mark Center in Virginia.

The two chic blondes were joined by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius and Kristin Hahn, co-producer of Aniston’s newest film project, “Five.” The Lifetime film series, composed of five short movies, chronicles different women’s experiences with breast cancer.

The four women toured the center and met with doctors, who listened to the group talk about their own experiences with cancer.

Biden said that her “personal involvement with breast cancer started 20 years ago when several of my friends got breast cancer,” compelling her to create a program in Delaware that invites doctors educate on the subject in classrooms.

Aniston, pool reports wrote, was particularly affected by nurse Ami Bhavsar, who spoke about the difficulties of helping patients without insurance.

The women’s outfits did not distract from the experience, as Biden wore a very SLOTUS-esque ensemble consisting of a purple jersey dress, nude pumps and a long, silver necklace. Aniston kept it cool in jeans and a black sweater.

One unexpected accessory? A heart-shaped ring on the movie star’s left hand, which had the press room buzzing after the event.

[From HuffPo]

You can see the photos from that event here, at the Mail, but there are also some shots where you can see Aniston’s rings in these premiere photos too.

In other Aniston news, do remember that she did a “Between Two Ferns” bit with Zach Galifianakis? Here’s the video:

Well, Zach discussed the behind-the-scenes story during a recent interview, and it’s just…weird:

Jennifer Aniston is long over her split from Brad Pitt — and according to Zach Galifianakis, she has no interest in taking a walk down memory lane. During the New Yorker Festival in New York City Saturday, the Hangover star revealed that the 42-year-old actress wasn’t keen on his idea to use a Pitt look-alike for his Between Two Ferns comedy segment on Funny or Die.

“I had found this guy [in our hotel] who looked exactly like Brad Pitt. I wanted to use that in some way,” Galifianakis, 42, recalled. “I said, ‘Jennifer, I have this guy who looks like Brad Pitt. I want to make it seem like I think it’s him.’”

“She looked at me like, ‘What the f–k?’” an embarrassed Galifianakis admitted. “And I totally agreed with her. How rude of me to do that! Why would she want to talk about that? She get inundated with that sh-t all the time. I totally understood.”

A dejected Galifianakis then met with the look-alike to “tell him sorry that we couldn’t do the bit.”

“People are pretty game, usually,” Galifianakis said of his guests on Between Two Ferns. “It’s a fun, stupid thing to do.”

After Aniston nixed his original idea, Galifianakis enlisted former MTV reality star Tila Tequila, 29, to appear in the skit. During the four-minute clip, Galifianakis made it clear that he favored Tequila, prompting Aniston to (jokingly) storm off.

[From Us Weekly]

So instead of a Brad Pitt look-alike, Aniston opted for Tila Tequila? That’s like Sophie’s Choice, dude. And I’m kind of surprised that Zach is so nice about the whole thing – this is the guy who will talk sh-t about any celebrity. But not Jennifer. Probably because she was game for pretty much anything – anything besides a Brad Pitt look-alike.

Back in June, photographer and pervert Terry Richardson released some photos of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux looking especially loved up. They were interesting pics because of the conspiracies going around (the length of Aniston’s hair suggested that the photos were taken months before, back when Justin was “with” Heidi Bivens), and because Justin and Jennifer really did look cute together in the pics. So JustJen decided to pose for Creepy Uncle Terry again. Judging from Aniston’s ensemble, I guess these photos were taken just before she walked the red carpet for Five, two days ago.

I like all of the photos, really and truly. I like them on a superficial level because both Justin and Jennifer look nice, and their body chemistry together is cute. I also like them on a gossip/conspiracy level because there’s still other stuff going on. Justin’s in his hipster leather, Jennifer is in recycled Dolce & Gabbana. She’s just had a blowout and Justin probably hasn’t bathed. Still, they sort of work together. I told you, months ago, that I didn’t know if she and Justin would end up getting married, but I knew at one look that Justin would be her Oscar date. That still stands.

Speaking of marriage, OK! Magazine has this story:

The past few weeks have been a real test for Jennifer Aniston: Has she moved on at last? After six years of romantic misfires, is the actress so crazy in love — giddily planning a wedding with beau Justin Theroux — that she’s finally over her painful divorce from Brad Pitt?

Jen’s trial by fire has been Brad’s September media tour. Supposedly promoting his film, Moneyball, which is generating Oscars buzz, he has also repeatedly invoked their failed marriage. It began with a now-infamous Parade magazine interview in which Brad extolled Angelina Jolie as a partner and mother — and by contrast, seemed to call his years with Jen soul-crushingly dull. Next came Brad’s backpedaling, insisting his ex-wife is “an incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman who remains my friend.” Then Brad hit the talk show circuit and tossed Jen more faint praise — he told Today’s Matt Lauer, “She’s a valuable person” — while admitting he should be more discreet: “I have a knack for stepping into s***.” For Jen, all of Brad’s chatter — apologies included — only dredged up bad memories and picked at old wounds.

JUSTIN’S ‘THE ONE’

Her response? Maybe she’ll send Brad a postcard from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where insiders say she and Justin will marry before year’s end.

“Why should she let stupid gossip get in the way when she’s finally met a guy who’s better than Brad?” one source tells OK!. “It’s true that she was knocked sideways when Brad’s interview first came out — who wouldn’t have been? He said some horribly insensitive things. But Jen is convinced that Justin is the love of her life. That’s her focus, not wallowing in the past. That’s Brad’s problem — he made an idiot of himself.”

Indeed, while Brad spills all over morning TV, Jen and Justin have been settling into her new penthouse duplex in NYC’s West Village — and fast becoming fixtures in the quaint neighborhood, cuddling and handholding in their jackets and jeans.

“Justin’s getting ring ideas from Jen’s friends,” a Jen pal tells OK!. Adds the first source: “His total love and support made it possible for her to move on from Brad — and she’s losing herself in wedding plans.”

Jen and Justin considered a number of nuptial sites — from the roof of their new Village digs to Kauai, Hawaii, where the pair recently vacationed. But in the end it came down to one of Jen’s favorite places on earth: Cabo.

“They were seriously considering Hawaii, but Cabo is winning,” the first source explains. “It’s tropical and it’s only a 90-minute flight from L.A., which will make it easier on friends [like Courteney Cox and Sheryl Crow].”

[From OK! Magazine]

In Touch agrees – their cover is all about how Justin is going to propose. Something about a long drive to Santa Barbara (where Brad and Angelina have a home, btw). Oh, and Justin doesn’t want to give her a diamond ring – apparently, he’s looking at rubies and amethysts. There’s also something about how Justin wants to make sure that his proposal isn’t “cheesy”. Ummm…. LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS.

There are twenty-million new Jennifer Aniston stories, but none of them are very significant. Meaning she’s not gushing about Justin or bitching about Brad or saying anything huge. I think most of the interviews are from the Five red carpet two nights ago, and must have been quick little soundbyte interviews Aniston did on the carpet. People Magazine had an interesting piece, only because someone else mentions that Justin was on the set while Aniston directed her part of Five… which makes me wonder when Aniston shot her part? Was it when Justin was still technically “with” his girlfriend of 14 years? Does anyone know when Five filmed?

Jennifer Aniston says her directing debut was “a challenge,” but she was able to turn to her beau Justin Theroux for moral support on the set of the Lifetime movie Five.

Though Theroux shied away from walking the red carpet at Skylight Soho with Aniston Monday night at the New York premiere of Five – a collection of five short films about breast cancer by female directors including Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys – he spent a lot of time hanging around the set of the movie, according to Penelope Spheeris, one of Aniston’s co-directors.

Spheeris, who also directed Wayne’s World, said the couple were “lovey-dovey” on set – though she still didn’t know who Theroux was until they were officially introduced.

“She introduced [Justin] to me and I’m like, ‘Who?’,” Spheeris recalled. “Someone was like, ‘That was her boyfriend!’ ”

Walking the red carpet after Theroux went straight into the event space Monday night, Aniston, 41, was asked what she loved most about her life now. Her answer? “Everything!”

Despite its difficulties, Aniston said directing was a wonderful experience nonetheless.

“There’s not one thing I didn’t love about it,” she told reporters.

At the afterparty, where Aniston chatted and took photos with fans, Theroux, 40, brought her a drink before the pair left together through a back door, stopping for a fan’s cell phone snapshot on their way out, according to an onlooker.

[From People]

“She introduced [Justin] to me and I’m like, ‘Who?’ And she got a little bit hysterical and she was like, ‘OMG, he’s only the most famous, attractive, gentlemanly artist/screenwriter/actor out there, I can’t believe you don’t know his name by now!’ And I was like, ‘Oh, that dude who played the premature ejaculator on Sex and the City. That dude.’ And then Aniston hugged him from behind.”

Let’s see, more stuff…Aniston said directing again was “like a dream come true, honestly, and such an important piece that we all were invested in. It was like working with, not only our best friends, but they’re also incredible producers, and all of us coming together. We just can’t believe that we’re actually here. It’s amazing.” She also said that she “hopes” to direct more: “That’s the plan. I’m not sure what or when or where, but yes.” Oh, Aniston told Access Hollywood that her move to NYC is only temporary: “It’s literally like a month or two, just bits and pieces here. LA is really where work is. But I just had to have a little place to lay my head.” And regarding Brad Pitt’s Parade comments, Jennifer said, “Oh, lord, it’s not even worth discussing on a night like this.” Meaning that she will discuss it, but she’ll wait a few months until she’s promoting Wanderlust, I guess.

Meanwhile, Jennifer’s BFF (and longtime hachetwoman – Aniston sends her out to do a lot of dirty work in the press) Kristin Hahn went to In Touch Weekly to discuss Aniston and BABIES. Of course. Hahn says, apropo of nothing, “She’ll be an adoring mom… She’s very big on boundaries with kids, and respect. She would have boundaries, but the adoration would be big!” Hahn also “likes” Justin “very, very much” and when ITW asked about Aniston’s alleged plans to marry at the beach, Hahn said, “She loves the sun and moisture and heat. That’s her element. And she looks great in a bikini!” Well done, Kristin Hahn.

There isn’t much to say here, but there are lots and lots of new photos. Included in this post are photos of Jennifer Aniston entering and leaving the ABC Studios, on the set at Good Morning America, at the premiere of Five (that Lifetime movie about breast cancer), and leaving the premiere with Justin Theroux. She’s wearing all black in all of the photos, so it’s not like this is some major fashion post, although I do like her boots in the GMA photos, and I don’t really dislike her red carpet outfit – black vest and black slacks, with some kind of black lace something peeking out of the vest. Apparently, this is the same Dolce & Gabbana outfit that she wore when she was drunk at the People’s Choice Awards in January.

I feel like the black lace thing is her bra or a camisole, and I really don’t think we should be seeing so much of it, right? But the outfit does convince me that Aniston’s boobs really aren’t bigger, as I thought last week. She must be wearing padded bras lately, but not last night. She also isn’t looking so pregnant to me now.

Here’s a dumb story – both Aniston and Angelina Jolie are carrying very similar Tom Ford purses. Below I’ve included a photo of Angelina carrying the “Carine” purse in London a few weeks ago, and Aniston seems to be using the purse from day to night yesterday, because it was with her throughout her GMA performance and then at the Five screening. Black leather (maybe lambskin?), gold chain – I think Angelina’s is bigger. Us Weekly has a better comparison here.

As I mentioned last week, on Thursday night, Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston (JustJen) went to a charity auction of artwork donated to benefit Haiti. As it turns out, it was actually a double-date for JustJen, as they seemed to spend the evening with Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor. Ben and Jennifer know each other from Along Came Polly – and Ben and Justin know each other from Tropic Thunder. Basically, everybody has been friends for years. So, this is what went down at the auction: Justin Theroux “bought” Jennifer a piece of art that she wanted. Only he didn’t buy anything. He just made a huge bid on a (probably already over-valued) painting, and Jennifer had to pay. But here’s how that story gets twisted into “Justin is such a gentleman, he bid on a painting for his lady!”

He bids, she buys! Jennifer Aniston was the winning buyer at Christie’s glitzy “Artists for Haiti” auction in NYC on Thursday — where beau Justin Theroux did the bidding on her behalf.

Actor-screenwriter Theroux, 40, helped his love, 42, snag American artist Glenn Ligon’s “Stranger #44,” an abstract 2011 work of oil, charcoal and graphite on canvas that seems to match his downtown hipster tastes.

At the auction, “Stranger #44″ (pictured with artist Glenn Ligon and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem) was estimated at $150,000 to $200,000.

But Aniston helped shatter the record for sales of Ligon’s work, spending a whopping $450,000 on the 72″ by 60″ painting, an Artists for Haiti rep confirms to Us.

Reports Artinfo.com: “Aniston, who was in the room, clapped enthusiastically after [Theroux's] winning bid.”

Benefiting health and education initiatives for Haiti, The “Artists for Haiti” auction — artists donated their works for the cause — was co-organized by Ben Stiller, and raised $13,662,000.

After the auction, Stiller, 40, and his wife Christine Taylor hung out with Theroux and Aniston for a late dinner at Il Cantinori. “They seemed to be having a lot of fun with Ben and his wife, like old friends,” a witness said. “Ben paid for everyone,” the witness adds.

Stiller co-starred in Along Came Polly with Aniston and co-wrote Tropic Thunder with Theroux.

I guess we should assume that Jennifer really wanted this piece of art, and that she was simply too much of a poor little VICTIM to bid on it herself? Because I imagine the fun of bidding on a piece of art is really stressful and victim-making, and that’s why Justin had to ride in on his stead and raise his hand over and over for the painting, like a gentleman? I don’t even know. Maybe she bought it for him, and she just let her boy-toy pick out the piece that he wanted and she got it for him like an attentive sugar-mama? I’m not trying to say Justin isn’t successful – he is. He does very well for himself as a character actor and screenwriter. But I doubt he has $450K to blow on a piece of art, which is why Aniston was there to purchase it. I guess what I’m saying is… he must be great in bed.
