These are some more photos from Jennifer Aniston’s appearance at the Directors Guild Awards over the weekend – we discussed the photos and their significance on Sunday. While it was clear to me that the tabloids were full of it when they claimed Aniston was well into her second trimester, some of you second-guessed me. Some of you think that these photos – which do show Aniston with a slight weight gain – are proof positive that Aniston is either A) preggo or B) on fertility drugs to get preggo. You may be right – I think the fertility drug theory has legs. In any case, Us Weekly reports this week that Aniston is definitely On The Path To Babies. But first she and Justin Theroux have to settle into their new mansion.

Ever since she settled down with Justin Theroux, 40, Jennifer Aniston has had a one-track mind: “She is doing everything she can to have a baby,” a source says of the actress, who just turned 43. “That’s really what she and Justin want more than anything.”

The pair of eight months also want to be prepared – they recently snapped up an 8,500-square-foot mansion in LA’s Ble Air – and they’re eager to put their stamp on it.

“They’re going to do some work to it before moving in,” says the source. “It’s exciting because it will be a project they can do together.”

I go back and forth on Aniston and the state of her womb, obviously. I think Theroux is probably the “best” boyfriend she’s had in years, and he damn well makes a better candidate for “baby-daddy” than someone like John Mayer. But, do I really think Aniston even gives a crap about having babies? In the past, my answer was always “Hell no.” She likes her life – drinking, free time, dogs, vacations, working out. A baby might put a crimp in that. But I also think Theroux has changed Jennifer – and maybe babies are part of the plan now?

Jennifer Aniston is still on womb-watch, although I really thought most tabloids were on the same page about Aniston’s bump of mystery – most have been claiming that she’s already knocked up with Justin Theroux’s hipster baby. Some reports have Jennifer already well into her second trimester, and some reports have Justin dumping his pregnant girlfriend because she’s been nagging him constantly. Which makes this report from OK! Magazine (via Hollywood Life) kind of a buzz-kill, because they say Aniston is still in the “trying to get there” stages of bump-dom:

Jennifer Aniston thought that she would be engaged to her boyfriend Justin Theroux by now, but Justin has yet to get down on one knee. Now Jen is fearful that Justin isn’t the right man for her. But Justin is trying, and willing, to do anything to not lose her including desperately searching for a more than perfect ring.

“It’s been a nightmare few weeks for Jen,” an insider tells OK! magazine. “She is beside herself with disappointment. Not only did she not get a ring, she barely got anything [for Christmas]! Jen’s looking at the relationship with a lot more caution now.”

Justin’s moody behavior and controlling demeanor are only causing Jen to question him more. “He’s moody, he’s controlling and he’s uncommunicative,” explains the insider. “Jen was starting to feel like she’d been suckered again.”

But Justin swears he’s going to change so that Jen won’t leave him. “He’s freaked out — terrified that he’s going to lose her,” continues the insider. “Justin’s promised to not be so controlling of her, to give her space.”

And he’s also going to ask her to marry him as soon as possible. “Justin’s been to Tiffany’s, Cartier and Harry Winston trying to find the perfect [ring],” says the insider. “He’s not planning to just get down on one knee and say, ‘Will you marry me?’ He’s planning an epic showcase to make up for acting like such a jerk.”

“He’s promised to change and basically give her anything and everything she wants,” adds the insider.

But Jen isn’t convinced. “She doesn’t want a conciliatory proposal,” notes the insider. “She wants it done the right way, not as an apology.”

“Jen’s taking Justin back but doesn’t want to go through the same thing she did with Brad [Pitt] — stuck with an insensitive partner who’s just going through the motions until they drift apart,” says the insider. “Jen won’t stand for being messed around with anymore.”

OMG, Justin Theroux is missing a sensitivity chip! OMG, he’s UNCOOL. Whatever. I suspect that JustJen are fine, they’re still together, and they will be through the promotion of Wanderlust, perhaps even longer.

Incidentally, it seems like Aniston made a recent appearance to Chelsea Handler’s After Lately show. The “gag” of the bit is that as soon as Chelsea leaves the room, Jennifer starts talking smack about her. I don’t really find it funny though – because the “gag” criticisms Jennifer uses against Chelsea are true…? When Aniston is told that Chelsea has been really busy, Aniston says in part, “Doing what? I mean, gossiping about more successful people that are better looking than her? Or putting her name on another dumb book to make the world a dumber place? I mean, just ridiculous. ‘Hi, I’m Chelsea. I really think that everything I say is funny.’ You know what I mean? It’s a shock that she really still has her own show.” Seriously – is that funny? Or is it just a moment of truth?

We haven’t had new photos of Jennifer Aniston in more than two months. Throughout September and October of last year, Aniston and Justin Theroux were photographed a lot in New York City, but over the past two months, they’ve been traveling back and forth from LA to NYC, plus they were on vacation, and for whatever reason, the photo ops dried up. There were some exclusive pics of Aniston a few weeks ago – which you can see here – but we didn’t have access to them. I’m bringing this up because it seems Aniston is “in hiding” because she’s got a severe case of the preggos. According to random British reports, Aniston is SIX MONTHS along:

JENNIFER Aniston has a bun in the oven — according to a new report.

Britain’s Look magazine claims the actress is six months pregnant with her first child.
The star, who has spoken frequently of her desire for children, was seen last week with a noticeable bump which she tried to conceal under a wide coat.

“She wouldn’t have wanted to make a big deal but she must be so excited,” a source said.

“If anyone ever asked if she was worried about running out of time, she’d reply, ‘I’m absolutely having kids there’s not one doubt in my mind’.”

[From Look via Showbiz Spy]

Go back and look at that photo of Aniston from a few weeks ago – there does seem to be something weird happening with her long coat, right? So is she really pregnant? The last time anyone bothered to ask Huvane, it was because the tabloids claimed Aniston was knocked up with twins. Huvane “joked” that it was actually triplets, a decent deflection if she really is knocked up.

So now that I’m actually on board with Aniston’s bump of mystery, what’s going on with Justin Theroux? Last week, the tabs claimed that Theroux had “stormed out” after Aniston picked a fight with him about how he should propose to her. Star Mag’s story this week picks up where that left off – Aniston is alone and depressed, so of course, she called Brad Pitt:

Jen is reportedly pregnant with her first child but is on the verge of a split with live-in beau Justin Theroux and she fears she’ll have to raise her child alone so she’s asking for Brad’s help!

Jennifer Aniston wants her old life back — including her ex-husband Brad Pitt! Star claims Jen is “shaken up” because Justin Theroux stormed out on her during their holiday vacation to Colorado. The two were reportedly fighting because Justin didn’t propose to Jen over Christmas — Jen turned to Brad in desperation and told her he’s also having problems with Angelina Jolie!

“Jen impulsively called Brad’s cell. She didn’t expect him to answer, but he did.” the source says. “He was curt and said he was busy, but then he asked her what was up. Jen started crying and pouring out her heart about her problems with Justin. She finally blurted out: ‘I miss you. I want you back.’”

Jen, 42, is reportedly waiting to announce her pregnancy when she reaches her second trimester, but she’s worried she’ll have to announce a split too.

“Jen feels like a fool,” the source adds. “The last thing she wants is to have to make a joint announcement — that she is pregnant and that she and the father have broken up.”

But what did Brad do that was so bad? He gave her “false hope” in a possible reconciliation!

“Brad can be really stupid in not considering that these conversations leave her with the falso hope that maybe they could have a future together,” the source says. “Brad tried to soothe Jen by confessing that he and Angie were also having problems. He thought it would help Jen see that all couples have ups and downs, but now she’s thinking he’ll leave Angie for her!”

Do you really think Jen is that delusional? Brad and Angie have six kids together!

[From Hollywood Life]

LOL at “Do you really think Jen is that delusional?” Dude, don’t even get me started. While I always thought that Jennifer would probably NOT end up ever becoming a mom, she’s made some big changes in her life over the past year, and her weight gain has been noticeable over the past few months. So, is she knocked up or what? And is she hoping that Brad will return to her at long last?

A few days ago, we had a slow-burning and ultimately “controversial” post about how Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux spent their holidays. Apparently, they were together in Telluride, Colorado, where they took ski lessons every day and had a low-key and enjoyable time. I actually praised Jennifer for mixing it up – her holidays are usually spent on the beach, and I think it’s nice that she can change it up for her new boyfriend. However, in the lead-up to the holidays, the tabloids were all focused on how Jennifer and Justin were totally going to get engaged and/or elope. According to a new report, even Jennifer was expecting a proposal from Justin over Christmas. But she didn’t get one – he gave her a purse!!!

Jennifer Aniston is absolutely devastated and humiliated! Her boyfriend Justin Theroux reportedly walked out on her over the holidays — all because of a Christmas gift, InTouch claims.

Jen thought Justin was going to propose on Christmas but instead he gave her a purse!

“She was all set to say ‘yes,’” a source says. “She was stunned. She started fighting with Justin, and the fight lasted for days.”

Justin was so disgusted with the way Jen reacted that he hopped on his motorcycle and went to stay a friends apartment in NYC’s Lower East Side.

“He need space,” the source continues. “Jen feels she’s putting so much into the relationship and Justin should commit to her, but she should be careful about putting him under too much pressure.”

Regardless, the couple headed to Colorado but Justin stayed in their luxury rental while Jen skied alone and hung with bestie Chelsea Handler.

A source close to Justin says that the actor is starting to resent Jen for trying to mold him into the man she always wanted — by getting him new clothes, facials, haircuts, and trips all over the world.

“She doesn’t want a boyfriend,” the source says. “Jen wants a husband.”

[From Hollywood Life]

Ah, I see. They spent Christmas in NYC and then went to Telluride after Christmas. And someone saw Justin leave Aniston’s apartment for a brief moment, thus “Justin was so disgusted with the way Jen reacted that he hopped on his motorcycle and went to stay a friends apartment in NYC’s Lower East Side.” Look, I’m guessing they’re fine. Maybe they did have a fight – everybody fights during the holidays. Always. And while I would love to receive a purse as a gift, you probably shouldn’t give your lover (the woman who you left your girlfriend of 14 years for) a purse for Christmas. It should at least be some kind of jewelry. Just to play devil’s advocate on Justin’s side though – I could totally see him struggling against Jennifer’s makeover. All the men that she gets serious with struggle against her makeovers. She treats boyfriends like Barbie dolls.

Justin and Jennifer were out together last night too, so I doubt they’re having huge problems or anything. You can see a photo here.

Throughout last fall, the tabloids were constantly full of speculation that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were totally going to get married over the holidays. Some said it would be a beach wedding in Cabo with Chelsea Handler as the maid of honor or something. Some said it would be a beach wedding in Hawaii, with a pig on a spit taking the place of Chelsea, I guess. Some said it would even be a beachy shindig in LA, or perhaps even a beach-themed NYC wedding. Well, none of it came to pass. The surprising part is that it doesn’t even seem like Aniston and Theroux were anywhere near a beach over the holidays! What’s going on with Jen? That bitch has changed! And I kind of like it.

Baby, it’s cold outside!

Despite the chilly temps, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux kept things hot in Colorado for the first week of 2012! A source tells Us Weekly the duo vacationed in a 13,300 square foot private residence in the Mountain Village outside the town of Telluride — where they were first spotted Dec. 31.

“They had a group of friends [that left] Monday,” the source tells Us. “Justin and Jen [stayed] until Thursday. They had a ski instructor every day.”

“[Jennifer] gets up [and] goes skiing,” adds the source. “Pretty much [she's] camped out at the house, keeping a low profile.”

Another source tells Us that Aniston, 42, and pal Chelsea Handler took a ski lesson together.

Jennifer Aniston?!? SKIING?!? Wonders never cease. As much as I think the circumstances surrounding their coupling were sketchy, I think that Justin might end up being a good influence on Jennifer. He gets her out of comfort zone, she’s trying new things, she’s mixing it up, and she seems like a different (less pity-party-having) woman these days. I’ve also extended my timeline for them as a couple. Five months ago, I was thinking that JustJen wouldn’t make it much further than this Spring. Now I’m thinking that they may make it all the way through 2012. Justin is definitely playing a different game than Jennifer’s usual boyfriends.

Last week, there was yet another sketchy story about Jennifer Aniston and her womb. It was from OK! Magazine, and it was full of quotes from a “neighbor” of Aniston’s in NYC. Now, I didn’t really think that one of Aniston’s actual neighbors was talking about Aniston’s fertility treatments and such – I thought it was just random tabloid BS, which Aniston’s rep first denied and then “joked” about, thus adding fuel to the pregnancy fires. Anyway, I’m starting to wonder about the report and that sketchy, Peeping Tom neighbor. The Mail’s Katie Nicholl claims that Aniston isn’t happy with how much attention she and Justin Theroux draw when they’re in NYC.

Jennifer Aniston shot to fame playing flatmate Rachel in the New York sitcom Friends. But now the 42-year-old is not finding Big Apple apartment life quite so funny – she is being hounded out of her Manhattan home by the fans.

Only last April the actress, left, splashed out £3.8 million on two luxury flats in New York’s trendy West Village after deciding to quit Los Angeles.

She planned to knock the two together to create a dream home with her new actor boyfriend, Justin Theroux, 40, a cousin of British documentary maker Louis Theroux. But after months of being besieged by photographers, she now wants to relocate to a more private neighbourhood.

‘Jennifer is not dealing well with having the photographers loiter outside her building,’ says a spy. ‘There are also always lots of fans and she feels vulnerable every time she steps out. She’s finding she’s just too famous to live where she wanted.’

Jennifer may now move to the city’s Upper East or Upper West Side, where Ben Affleck and Madonna live.

‘Jen wants a place with more anonymity, security and privacy,’ adds the source. ‘She and Justin will probably keep a small place in LA but the focus for them is living in New York.’

[From The Mail]

From what I’ve seen, looking through photos over the past few months, Justin and Jennifer have learned to avoid the paparazzi when they want. They travel back and forth from LA often enough, and it seems like they do have more privacy in LA, but they’ve figured out a system in NYC too – either that, or they just aren’t leaving the apartment anymore.

Also – I do wonder about Heidi Bivens. Allegedly, she was (allegedly) really peeved that Aniston and Theroux were acting so loved up all around her (Heidi’s) hometown, and it seemed like Justin and Jennifer were walking on eggshells trying to avoid pissing Heidi off to the point where Heidi would give some sordid tell-all interview. Of course, that was before Jennifer Aniston met Heidi face-to-face to tell Heidi that she (Jennifer) has had a really hard time with all of the homewrecking. Maybe Heidi is over it now? Or maybe Heidi got paid.

This week is going to be all about Angelina Jolie as she appears on television show after red carpet after magazine and on and on, all to promote In the Land of Blood and Honey. And whenever Angelina is promoting something big, Jennifer Aniston comes out to play. Incidentally, I’m not denying that the reverse happens too – when Aniston is promoting one of her films, Angelina will magically appear for a candid photo op too. Will this week be any different now that Aniston is all loved up with Justin Theroux? Well… I don’t know. Do you want to build a conspiracy theory around Jennifer’s father saying nice things about Justin?

Justin Theroux got the thumbs up from the guy who matters most: Jennifer Aniston’s dad!

Days of Our Lives actor John Aniston turned up at Sunday’s Loukoumi’s Celebrity Cookbook launch (his cinnamon toast recipe is included) at L.A.’s Treehouse Social Club — and dished just a tad on his very famous daughter’s latest man.

“He’s a charming young man,” the soap veteran, 78, told Us Weekly of Theroux, 40.

Aniston, 42, and her Wanderlust costar have been dating since the spring, and now live together in NYC and L.A.

“I think they make a wonderful couple,” her dad added, explaining that he and his wife “get together whenever we can” with the cute couple.

[From Us Weekly]

So, dad gives Justin the thumb’s up, even though Justin isn’t Greek. John Aniston has said before that he’d love Jennifer to find a nice Greek guy, but she keeps avoiding John Stamos like the plague, and now she’s loved up with Justin. I wonder what her dad says about how much money Jennifer is shelling out to keep this romance afloat? My father would have a lot to say about the money part of it.

Anyhoodle… what’s the over-under on at least two big candid photo-ops with Aniston this week? That’s my guess – one solo photo op with tweaked nipples, and a photo op with Justin, looking especially lovey-dovey. Maybe this is the week for yet another Terry Richardson photo shoot?

This week’s tabloids are actually all over the place on the state of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s relationship. OK! Magazine claims they’re totally headed for a Cabo wedding on New Year’s Eve. Star Magazine claims that Justin is picking out rings RIGHT NOW and that he could propose any minute. And In Touch Weekly, usually one of Jennifer Aniston’s biggest cheerleaders, has a story this week about what a narcissistic, high-maintenance (boozehound?) monster she is, and how her bad habits are driving Justin away. Oh, speak to me, In Touch.

Free spirit Justin Theroux has started to see how high-maintenance Jennifer Aniston can be. Case in point: her obsession with being thin. The actress, 42, recently quit smoking in hopes of getting pregnant, but it caused her to gain 10 pounds, so now she “complains nonstop about how fat she is,” a source tells In Touch. “Justin really can’t believe how vain Jennifer is. He will want to go to a restaurant and Jen will say that the food’s too fattening or that she can’t stay up late because she’s getting up at 6 a.m. to go to a workout.”

Despite her exercise compulsion, Jen isn’t breaking a sweat in the bedroom. Desperate to conceive, the actress has instituted a sex ban, insisting to Justin, 40, that they should only have sex during her most fertile days each month. As a result, “Justin has been saying that their love life is more like a science experiment and he’s really fed up with it,” says the source. “It’s hard to deal with her neurotic side.”

After all the drama, Jen may in fact be flying solo soon — at least for the holidays. Jen made plans with Courteney Cox for Christmas Eve, but Justin “flat out said no,” says an insider. Although a rep insists they’re fine, the friend says Justin had finally had enough.

“He sort of rebelled and said he wasn’t sure about going,” the insider says. “He’s starting to feel like Jen is scheduling all of his time up so that he won’t be able to see his friends,” says another pal.

Jen also thinks it’s “unhealthy” that he still talks to his ex, Heidi Bivens, says her friend. Indeed, if Jen doesn’t loosen up the reigns on their relationship — stat — the pal adds, “They may end up spending time apart.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

I know I said yesterday that I wished Justin and Jennifer well, but g–damn, this is a fun story. Every now and then, there will be a tabloid report about just how high-maintenance Jennifer really is. On one side, I don’t blame her at all – she’s rich as hell, and that money buys a lot of sycophantic flattery to counterbalance her neuroses (“I want an Us Weekly report laden with anonymously-sourced quotes about my beauty! STAT!”). On the other side, it’s funny because she puts herself out there as Ms. Easy-Breezy-Yoga-Girl. What will happen when Justin realizes just how much hipster-street-cred he’s lost by getting his nails done with his girlfriend, America’s Neurotic Sweetheart? And how bad will the freakout be if Justin continues to take Heidi Bivens’ calls?

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux seemed to be loved up for the long haul. I’ve actually wondered recently if Justin is as “into” this Aniston-level celebrity extravaganza, or whether he’d rather be sitting in a dank bar, getting hammered with his hipster friends. Right now, though, and for the foreseeable future, Justin and Jennifer seem tight. Justin’s partner of 14 years has been effectively jettisoned, and perhaps even paid off by Team Aniston. Justin’s getting better paychecks, he made People Mag’s Sexiest Man Alive list, and whatever whim he has, his rich sugar mama buys it for him. It works for them. So is it any surprise that a new round of “wedding” rumors has started up again?

Don’t be surprised if Jennifer Aniston’s a barefoot bride before the clock strikes 2012!

Jennifer Aniston has weathered more than her share of romantic disappointments after her devastating 2005 divorce from Brad Pitt — from Vince Vaughn to John Mayer to fleeting flings with Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper. But friends of the actress agree that Justin Theroux is a keeper, the real deal.

As the pair settles into their new penthouse in NYC’s Greenwich Village, you can tell by the gleam in Jen’s eye, the uncharacteristic PDA and Justin’s unfailing tenderness. And soon, according to sources, the couple will head south of the border to elope.

“Jen is talking about a beach wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, at the end of December,” a source close to the romantic-comedy queen confides to OK!. “It’s definitely going to happen, and right now it’s looking like sooner rather than later.”

When Jen married Brad in 2000, the wedding was a $1 million beachside spectacular in Malibu, complete with 200 guests, a 40-piece gospel choir and a fireworks display. This time around she’ll still have sea and sand — but it won’t have the grand production values.

“Jen loves the idea of just taking off to Cabo and getting married in a sundress barefoot on the beach,” the insider explains. “She wants it to be as spontaneous as possible, and she doesn’t want it to be all fancy and complicated like her wedding to Brad. This wedding will not be for show. This is about two people who love each other making a commitment for life. They don’t need all the bells and whistles.”

Jen and Justin spent Thanksgiving in NYC, then headed to L.A. for a week, where Jen has business meetings. Then it’s back to the Big Apple in early December.

“After that, they’re heading to Europe for a romantic vacation,” says the source. “Jen and Justin will be also promoting their film Wanderlust, but friends are guessing that may end up being their honeymoon.”

[From OK! Magazine]

If it’s true, I’m happy for her. I don’t even think this is the product of the overactive imagination of Aniston’s publicist – if this was an Aniston plant, I think she would have asked for the cover all to herself, instead of having to share it with Kourtney Kardashian, making it seem like Kourtney and Aniston ARE THE SAME. I think this is just the tabloids wanting their perpetual victim to get her “happy ending.” I will say this too – out of all of the dudes that Aniston has dated after her divorce, I think Justin is the one most likely to get Aniston down the aisle again.

Also – Page Six had a blurb this morning which I do think is the product of Aniston’s publicist:

Jennifer Aniston shared a romantic dinner with Justin Theroux on Monday in Hollywood. The pair, both casually dressed, looked cozy as they dined at the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Tower Bar.

A witness in the restaurant said, “They sat in a corner table overlooking the city, deep in conversation and holding hands under the table. It was very sweet: They looked the image of happiness.”

[From Page Six]

Yeah, we get it. Justin Theroux has a rainbow coming out of his ass now that he’s dating Jennifer Aniston. She is the gift that keeps on giving!
