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.

These are photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston in NYC last night. Apparently, they went to dinner and went to an art auction for “Artists for Haiti”. You can see additional photos of them here. To my eye, Justin seems to have a little bit of an odd look, right? I’m not talking about his only “fancy” outfit, basically the only thing he wears when he wants to “dress up” – black skinny jeans, white dress shirt, skinny tie. Seriously dude, you’re 40. It’s time to invest in some nicer “fancy clothes” – especially considering that you’re dating a woman who loves luxury. Why hasn’t Aniston bought him some better clothes? Instead, she seems to have changed her dress style to mimic his hipster threads. Anyway, the “odd look” I was talking about on Justin is the slowly-processing look of panic. Is he starting to feel like he’s in over his head? Come on, Justin! You’re the white knight for America’s Sweetheart! You’re one half of “Hollywood’s hottest couple” – no joke, that’s what Radar calls them:

Hollywood’s hottest couple, that’s Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux to you, got all gussied up and took New York City by storm Thursday, and RadarOnline.com has photos of the dashing duo.

It appears the couple has already started to dress alike, rocking his and her versions of minimalist chic as they headed out on the town.

The Friends beauty donned a clingy black jersey dress with her sleek blonde hair framing her face, while her hunky beau looked ever so dapper in an Italian cut black suit and what looked like freshly dyed black hair, slicked up and back.

Jen, a west coast transplant, seems to have already gotten the hang of dressing for the seasons, preparing for a chilly east coast Autumn night with a bulky grey sweater in her hands.

[From Radar]

Yeah, I actually like Aniston’s outfit, but I have literally no idea why Jennifer looks like the cat who got the cream. Yes, her dress is cute and the boots are especially good, but she’s still with a balding hipster who cheated with her when he had a girlfriend of 14 years. What’s that? Are you going to tell me that there’s no actual “proof” of that? There’s as much “proof” that Aniston is a homewrecker as there is with Angelina Jolie. And I will continue to point it out – she’s no victim. Stop treating her like one. Look at her – she’s fine. She’s happy. Stop making her into a relationship martyr.

First, let’s do all of the nice stuff. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are still getting pap’d on a daily basis in NYC, as they have been ever since Brad Pitt’s Parade interview dropped. You see, Jennifer is “flaunting” how “happy” she and Justin are, because she knows Brad is totally jealous. More on that in a moment.

So these are photos of Justin and Jen from yesterday. They got photographed all over the place – INF had photos (here) of Justin hogging the umbrella so as to not get his precious leather jacket wet, leaving Aniston to get her blowout damp. The photos in this post seem to be after the rain. I dislike Aniston’s casual outfit. The boots are fug, and those jeans aren’t flattering. I don’t really get the hat either, but I guess her hair didn’t look cute because Justin is an umbrella-hogger.

Hollywood Life also reports that Justin and Jennifer are very loved-up in New York, and they’re nesting. They just went shopping for kitchenware at Sur La Table, where Jen picked everything out and Justin paid. A source tells HL, “Jen and Justin went to Sur La Table in Soho. They went in and Justin picked out all [of the products]. He was protecting her almost by standing in front [of her]. She was quiet. They looked in love. And then they ran out and hopped into their SUV.” They spent $137.02, and Justin charged it.

Meanhwhile, you know how I just talked about OK! Magazine’s cover story, in which a “friend” of Jennifer’s threw a pity party about how Brad is vicious and jealous of Jennifer’s relationship with Justin? Well, Us Weekly got the same “tip” from Jennifer’s team, only the way Us Weekly reports it is kind of funny:

Brad Pitt made a big-time boo-boo. He’s garnering Oscar buzz for his role in Moneyball, but Angelina Jolie’s man sparked a public relations catastrophe last week — all for a Parade interview in which he casually slammed his five-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston, which ended in 2005.

(In the interview released Sept. 15, Pitt, 47, sniffed that he “wasn’t living an interesting life” before Jolie, and that he was “trying to pretend my marriage was something that it wasn’t.”)

And, yes, his 42-year-old ex-wife got wind of the catty comment. “She was annoyed,” a pal close to the Horrible Bosses actress tells the new Us Weekly, out now. “She thought it was rude and inappropriate.”

Team Aniston — her agent and publicists — “went ballistic,” a Pitt insider reveals, and angrily reached out to Pitt’s camp.

“They got his team involved and Brad was read the riot act — the only way you can read the riot act to Brad Pitt,” the source says.

Within 24 hours, Pitt had surprisingly released a statement lamenting that his words were misinterpreted, and that his former love “is an incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman.”

Still, the Pitt source says, “no one believes his words were taken out of context — he said what he said. I do hear that he’s remorseful.”

And although Pitt is clearly blissed out with Jolie, 36, and their six kids, “We think he’s jealous she’s in love,” the source says.

Indeed, Aniston hasn’t let her ex’s harsh words get in the way of her hot romance with Justin Theroux, with whom she’s now spending time with in NYC. “Justin’s The One!” an Aniston pal says.

For much more on Pitt and Aniston’s unexpected new war — and how Pitt and Jolie “make fun of” her — pick up the new Us Weekly, out now!

[From Us Weekly]

There’s so much gold in that one, I can’t even start. Aniston’s PR team reacted the same way her super-defensive fanbase reacted: they lashed out, blew it out of proportion, and then claimed that Brad was just jealous. The problem is that Brad is still represented by CAA, right? He and Aniston both have the same agency, so I can believe that their joined representation was pissed off that he “went off the reservation” so to speak. Maybe if he got a new agent, he wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around Aniston seven years later.

As for Justin being “the one” – I hope he is. I’m being genuine. I hope he doesn’t dump her. I hope he sticks around. I hope he isn’t too bored.

These are some photos of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux in NYC – some are from Friday night, when they left “their apartment” to go out to dinner, and the photos where they’re wearing sunglasses are from Saturday. We have about a million photos from their Saturday outing – apparently, Justin and Jennifer “went for a walk” in the city, and about a hundred photographers managed to get photos of them. I’m not saying that Aniston called the paps. I’m saying that in the wake of Brad Pitt’s comments about their marriage, Aniston was like, “Hey, Justin, we should go for a walk and in case we get photographed, we should look really lovey-dovey.” It helps that I think they are in fact pretty lovey-dovey. I buy them as a couple. Justin seems comfortable in his own skin, and he’s not freaked out by the media intrusion into his life. It’s all very interesting…

According to Radar, JustJen went to the West Village, where they ate at a Japanese restaurant, EN Shochu Bar. Radar also says that Justin went with Jennifer to the Beverly Hills hospital where her mom, Nancy Dow, is recovering after a stroke. As to why Aniston and Theroux have made the move to NYC right now – well, it might have something to do with the paparazzi swarm outside of their new Hollywood Hills rental. TMZ reports that Aniston’s new neighborhood has been thrown into chaos since she and Justin moved in. The paparazzi are blocking driveways, creating traffic hazards, and generally being nuisances.

Just to play devil’s advocate (haha), I can’t believe they’re walking around, out in the open, being SO DISRESPECTFUL to Heidi Bivens, Justin’s girlfriend of 14 years, who he dumped for Jennifer. Since there’s as much “evidence” to suggest that Justin Theroux did the exact same thing that Brad Pitt allegedly did with Angelina Jolie, how is it that Aniston is forever the victim again? Look at her – she’s fine. She’s got a boyfriend that she loves, and she’s happy. Stop throwing pity parties for her.

Oh, and do her hips look bigger to anyone else? And her boobs look bigger too. I’m not ruling out the idea that she’s preggo.

COINCIDENCE?!?

Probably. On the same day that Brad Pitt’s “OMG, Jennifer Aniston is such a dull bitch” comments (except he didn’t really say that, but whatevs), Jennifer Aniston stepped out with her man friend Justin Theroux in New York City, headed out to eat at Il Mulino. Pacific Coast News notes that they were “spotted leaving their apartment in NYC.” Hm, THEIR apartment? You mean the apartment that Jennifer Aniston bought when Justin was still with his girlfriend of 14 years? That apartment?

Whether this coupled-up outing was a strategic photo op or whether they just got pap’d as they were going about their business, I don’t know. I have noticed that the photo-ops with Jen and Justin have simmered down in the past month or so – they’ve still been photographed together, but it hasn’t been happening with such frequency. So… I don’t know. I think they’re for real, though. I think Jennifer and Justin are loved up, and they seem happy.

Should I say anything about Jennifer’s outfit? No. I should not. I will say that it looks like she might need to go up a size in bras…? I feel like her boobs are exploding out of that see-through blouse.

Also: Aniston was at Bloomingdale’s last night to support twin sisters Nina and Clare Hallworth, who were launching their Hoyle Jackson line. According to USA Today, “The twins have styled the actress for more than 15 years.” Seriously? Like, styled her… wardrobes for film and television? Because on the red carpet, I don’t think she’s ever worn their stuff. Maybe they’re costumers, though.

PS… You know how I have a thing for great profiles? Justin Theroux has a GREAT profile. His profile is better than his full-on face.

I just got finished writing about that incredibly stupid OK! Magazine “Bride Wars” cover story, which pitted Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston against each other because SEVEN YEARS LATER it’s still happening every damn week. So I thought I would take one for the team and pit the boys against each other. Justin Theroux and Brad Pitt have dueling interviews/photo shoots today. First, Justin Theroux appears in a GQ feature in which his chest hair is rippling in the wind because he’s channeling Al Pacino in Serpico. Er… thoughts? I know some of you like Theroux, and he’s definitely better than many of Jennifer’s boyfriends, but DO NOT date a guy who would ever channel Al Pacino in a photo shoot unless you are actually dating Al Pacino. I don’t care if it’s for GQ. I don’t care if the guy is totally super-cool. It’s really UNcool, okay? You can read Justin’s GQ interview here and an excerpt is below.

Justin Theroux on European roads: “it’s great, it’s like riding on carpet… Asphalt carpet.”

-He has a “dork voice”: He drops words like “funnily” and “oomph” and “beeswax figurines.” He talks about his personal soundtrack—”If I’m in scenic country, a little Nouvelle Vague on the iPod.”

On his beard: “You establish all sorts of mannerisms with [a beard]. Like when you’re bored, you can feather your mustache.” And how did women respond to it? Women such as Aniston? “Certain chicks dig it; certain chicks don’t.” A few days after our photo shoot, the beard is gone.

[From GQ]

Hipster douche. That’s what he seems like to me. Like he’s trying too hard, like he’s desperate to keep his hipster cred while dating tabloid-darling and publicist-maintained Jennifer Aniston. Now I’m also starting to wonder if he’s dating Jennifer for some kind of ironic, hipster reason. Like, this relationship might be a James Franco-esque art project for Theroux.

On to Brad Pitt – he covers the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, and here are some highlights:

On producers wanting him to start in TV: “You know, when I first started, they were trying to get me into sitcoms — I think because I had that kind of Wonder Bread look and my hair always went into place. I kept saying, ‘I’m not good at sitcoms. I don’t know how to do that. . . . But that [his Friends cameo] was a little bit later, and I like those guys. They’re a great bunch of guys. The movies I loved were a complete 180 from situation comedy, and that’s what I wanted to head towards.”

On winning Sexiest Man Alive: “Well, they’re not saying you’re the Biggest A–hole, you know? When you get older, you realize it’s just for fun. Clooney and I were able to have fun with it later. But in some ways, I’m still a kid from Missouri and Oklahoma, and I’m trying to find my way. By the way, we’re only talking about a blip. I didn’t spend much time thinking about it.”

On Mr. & Mrs. Smith: “A husband and wife who actually want to kill each other — I thought that was a launching pad for something really fun and vibrant. Again, that was something we were developing as we were going along, and Angie’s a great partner in that. We work really well together. We had some good workshops beforehand. Had some good laughs and ideas. That was just a great collaboration that turned into a greater collaboration.”

On his and Angelina’s rule not to work while the other is: “We should be doing them together — that’s what we should be doing. We should be doing everything together, and then we could work less. We could have more time off.”

Now, there’s some douche in this one too, trust me. But I think Brad has come a long way, and during most interviews, I get the feeling that Brad just flips on his “Brad the Professional” switch and does his shtick. Basically, I find Brad WAY hotter. His hair, though… it’s grown out from the “hot” phase and now he just reminds me of Tom Brady.

Oh, and I can’t find Brad’s Parade interview anywhere. It’s possible Wonderwall just jumped the gun and released their excerpts too early. I’ll post it when the story comes out.

The tabloids are full of Jennifer Aniston-Justin Theroux (JustJen) relationship news this week, and it’s almost like the hysteria surrounding Aniston’s womb are completely forgotten. Maybe the ‘bloids didn’t feel like running yet another story about Jennifer “preparing for baby” by renting a cottage and doing yoga. Which is weird, because there were new exclusive photos of Jennifer and Justin leaving a medical building just a few days ago – that would have made a good “Are they checking their fertility?” story. Alas.

Anyway, on to this week’s stories. According to In Touch Weekly, Jennifer is making Justin see a couples therapist. Wait, have we already heard this? Sort of – last month, sources claimed Aniston was seeing a therapist on her own to deal with her trust issues – because she got dumped by Brad six years ago. This new story is about Justin and Jennifer doing therapy together so that they can maintain their relationship – because Jennifer worries that Justin will leave JUST LIKE BRAD.

You know things are super-serious when a couple heads to counseling to make sure they stay on the right track – and that’s just what Jennifer Aniston is doing with new love Justin Theroux.

Although her rep denies it, a pal says she is determined to make things work after her devastating split from Brad Pitt, and she has turned to a therapist to make sure she and Justin continue to sail smoothly on the sea of love!

[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]

Eh. I think it’s well-documented that Jennifer loves therapy and that she believes that it helps her. I don’t have any problem believing that she’s still seeing a therapist (although her original therapist died on her, for which she probably has additional abandonment issues). But I doubt Justin is all “Yes, we should do couples counseling because our love needs to be maintained, like a garden.” He just doesn’t seem the type.

But Justin does seem like the type to do some pruning amongst Jennifer’s coked-up Goddess Circle. According to Star Magazine, Justin has “ordered” Jennifer to stop spending time with Chelsea Handler. Well done, Justin.

Justin Theroux is ordering his love to stop spending time with her BFF Chelsea Handler. Despite his bad-boy image, Justin “cannot stand” Chelsea and he wants Jennifer Aniston to end their friendship.

“Justin thinks Chelsea is crass and a terrible influence on Jen,” an insider tells Star. “He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to spend any time with Chelsea.”

But Jen is left wondering if Justin is nothing more than a hypocrite.

“Justin is this motorcycle-riding, anti-establishment type of guy – but he expects Jen to be conservative! She’s not even allowed to hang out with someone with a dirty mouth?” So even though Jen and Chelsea has had fights in the past, Jen is now digging in her heels to prove a point.

“No one tells her what to do,” fumes the insider. “She wants to hang out with Chelsea just to show Justin he can’t control her. She wants to make that clear before things go any further. As much as she adores Justin, she shouldn’t have to be with a guy who makes her feel like she always has to be watching what she does.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Jennifer really missed the point if she thinks the only reason Justin doesn’t like Chelsea is that Chelsea has a dirty mouth. The problem is that Chelsea clings to Jennifer Aniston, worships the ground she walks on, and is probably in the midst of some sketchy Single White Female situation. Plus, Chelsea is just toxic. When she goes down, all of her “friends” are going to be tainted too.

We’ve heard that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have moved in together, and this is the first time I’ve seen clear photos taken inside their new cozy digs in the Hollywood Hills. Kaiser tells me that these came out for the first time a while ago, and that they were in the Daily Mail last week. There are more pictures here I wanted to show, though.

This move to cohabitate with her lovah represents a significant downsizing for Aniston. She moved from a huge estate that she just sold for $38 million to this relatively small two bedroom 1,760-square-foot home that rents for $17,500 a month. Don’t feel sorry for Aniston for living like a super wealthy commoner, though. She’s just in this place temporarily while she’s looking for yet another lavish mansion to decorate like a 70s porn palace.

As temporary accommodation while house hunting goes, this is better than most.

It was reported recently that Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux have leased this cosy two-bedroom home while searching for a more luxurious house.

The 1,761 square foot bungalow is nestled high up in the Hollywood Hills with spectacular views over the city, providing a private little love nest for the couple…

The couple are shelling out $17,500 a month for the property, but that is small change compared to the $38million Aniston pocketed from the sale of her 10,000 square foot Beverly Hills mansion.

The couple rented the house on August 1, several months after Aniston decided that her Architectural Digest-featured was ‘too much’ for her and she wanted to simplify her life.

[From The Daily Mail]

The design of this place is not to my taste at all, but this is how it was staged to rent, and it’s not like Aniston is responsible for it. Plus it’s better than the heavy dark wood, shag carpeting and Ron Burgundy styles of her last place. If you’re going to chose a (relatively, given their wealth) small house to live in, it’s best to do so when the relationship is new. When the afterglow wears off and you’re stuck with dealing with someone’s messes and now annoying habits, that’s when the super wealthy can retreat to their own wing of the mansion and not have to deal with the other person’s sh*t at all. For us commoners, some of us would just be grateful to have our own bathrooms.

The kitchen is gorgeous. I love kitchens and bathrooms.

It is absolutely nonsensical to me why both Us Weekly and People Magazine got official leaks about this on Friday. Perhaps it was just the kind of filler-gossip that perfectly capped off a pretty boring gossip week, or perhaps there are still people invested in Jennifer Aniston’s love life that they really, really needed to know this. Anyway, both People and Us Weekly got the same leak – Aniston and Justin Theroux are now officially living together. What was your first thought? “I thought we already knew that”? Or “Didn’t we already hear that two months ago”? Right on both counts. Back in June, Justin moved into Jennifer’s Beverly Hills home, just before she sold it. Then she sold it, and she and Justin were house-hunting together in Beverly Hills, and now they’ve moved into a rental in the Hollywood Hills.

Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Justin Theroux have taken the plunge – the pair have officially moved in together, a source tells PEOPLE.

“They decided to rent a house together while they keep searching for the perfect [one] to buy,” says the source. “Jen and Justin are very excited about living together in their new home.”

As PEOPLE reported in July, the couple have been house-hunting for a while, but decided to settle into a two-bedroom rental in the Hollywood Hills until they find a permanent haven.

Aniston, 42, moved out of her Beverly Hills spread in July after deciding the home was “too much” for her and it was time to “simplify.” It sold for $38 million.

The actress rented the Hollywood Hills house on Aug. 1, a real estate source tells PEOPLE. The house provides the couple with privacy, hardwood floors, a new ozone pool, spa and viewing deck. The master suite features vaulted ceilings and French doors leading to the yard.

Since returning from a romantic Hawaiian getaway, the couple has been enjoying time together with friends. On Aug. 24, Aniston and Theroux, 40, shared a long dinner with George Lopez at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, and a source tells PEOPLE the couple looked comfortable – and affectionate – together.

“She and Justin looked very happy together,” says the source, “and even kissed at the table.”

[From People]

You know what I always find funny about Aniston selling that Beverly Hills property that she spent years redoing? It only had one bedroom, and the property was less than an acre. Basically, it was a really, really fancy Beverly Hills starter home that was drastically marked up because Jennifer redid it to look like a 1970s shag-pad. LA real estate makes no sense.

Anyway, Us Weekly says that Aniston and Theroux’s new place is “a really romantic house with great views and a warm feeling in every room. If they decide they like it, it’s also for sale.” They’re using the second bedroom as a guest room, not a nursery, but a “source” tells Us Weekly, “He’d make an excellent father. Since he’s a screenwriter, he could work from home and take care of a kid.” Good luck with that, Justin. If you’d like to see their new place, go here.

By the way, In Touch Weekly had a story in last week’s issue in which “friends” of Aniston claimed that Jennifer was going around to everybody and bragging about her sex life with Justin. A source says, “She says sex with Justin is the best she’s ever had in her life… she and Brad had a vanilla sex life – it’s Justin who has awakened her innermost passions… Jen’s totally let loose with Justin and the sex is amazing. She is walking around with a constant glow and can’t help bragging about how good he is under the sheets.” I feel like there were very similar stories about Jennifer and Vince Vaughn and Jennifer and John Mayer. Whatever. Good luck to Justin.

I get that you guys think that I’m jumping to spurious conclusions or whatever by assuming that Aniston’s rep plants or at least signs off on a lot of these stories about her. When that junk is in US Weekly, though, it makes me wonder. They’ve run a ton of very in depth Aniston-friendly stories lately. US has even been touting the Aniston-camp version of the timeline of her relationship with Justin Theroux too, and at least at one point was trying to smooth over those homewrecking rumors that his ex girlfriend mom’s pretty much confirmed.

So two weeks ago US ran a cover story about how Aniston and Theroux were trying for a baby. That must have been a good seller for them because they have a very similar story this week about Jen’s Baby Countdown. It’s kind of ridiculous to me, but it’s standard tabloid fare. Here’s a little of US’ story.

Jennifer Aniston – in attendance [at an anniversary party for Ellen and Portia] “wasn’t drinking alcohol,” says one partygoer of the star, who is usually spotted at parties clutching a cocktail. “And she looked pregnant. People were noticing and talking about it like it was a fact.”

If the actress has her way, it will be soon. After six years of broken relationships, the star knows she’s found The One…

“She has been telling those close to her that this is the year she’s going to get pregnant,” says a friend of the 42-year-old actress…

“The plan is to get pregnant this summer, said the friend…”

“[Theroux] is 100 percent on board – the last few months they have been in baby-making mode.”

[From US Weekly, print edition, September 5, 2011]

Then they go on to give circumstantial evidence that Jen is either pregnant or really close to being pregnant. She slept late on her Hawaiian vacation, she skipped breakfast once “because just the thought of food turned her stomach,” and she quit smoking and drinking. Plus she’s supposedly gained a little weight. Then the article mentioned that she’s moving into a new home with Theroux in L.A. that they just bought. It’s all very Aniston-friendly and touts how great and perfect her relationship is.

Life & Style has another Aniston pregnancy story. They’re claiming “It’s Twins!” Only as Jezebel explains, the real article is all about how Aniston wants to get pregnant with twins. Typical, and very familiar.

In March I did a recap of past Aniston fake pregnancy cover stories, so given the latest rumors I would recommend that you revisit those for some sh*ts and giggles. (I would include them here but with the other two recent tabloid covers it could get confusing.) The Aniston pregancy rumors go way back, and she’s been pregnant or adopting or rumored to be pregnant ever since the triangle started.

So is this US Weekly thing a kind of nod to those covers, like an acknowledgement that the rumors only help Aniston’s career? She’ll tell you in interviews how much she wants kids, so I think the answer is “yes.” There are a couple of other possibilities. Either US is making this story up because Aniston pregnancy covers sell or she really is pregnant and her people are trying to prepare us. That would be a shocker after all the years of tabloids crying wolf.
