Courteney Cox to host dinner for Jennifer Aniston’s new boyfriend, John Mayer


Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have managed to keep their burning love under wraps for nearly two weeks. They may be staying in and spending time with friends instead of flaunting it poolside at a resort. This week’s National Enquirer reports that Aniston’s close friend Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette are hosting a dinner at their place to welcome Mayer to their circle. He is said to be a little wary of the whole thing and hopes Jen’s friends will accept him:

Courtney and husband David Arquette are hosting a dinner for the pair at their Malibu home, says a friend, and “John’s a bit uneasy about it – it’s like meeting your lover’s mom for the first time. Jen laughs and tells him Courtney just wants to pinch and poke the product.” Courteney wants a first-hand look at Mayer because she “never hit it off with Vince Vaughn, and John and Vince have similar reputations,” said the friend. “Courtney guards Jen like a mother hen. Jen just smiles and reminds her pal she’s met John on several occasions – but Courteney comes right back with: ‘Yeah, but you weren’t sleeping with him then!'”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, Mike Walker’s column, June 2, 2007]

If it’s true that Courteney didn’t really connect with Aniston’s ex, Vince Vaughn, that’s probably because Vince was conflicted about the relationship and seemed reluctant to even be seen out with her. Mayer on the other hand is anxious to make it known that he’s with the hot older woman, and doesn’t seem to mind when the photos get printed in the glossies. As long as he doesn’t run at the mouth too much during dinner, he’ll do fine.

And kudos to Aniston and Mayer for staying under the radar for two weeks – if they’re still seeing each other, that is.

    She’s going to host a dinner party? More like, let’s all get together and smoke pot, then we’ll have the maid order/make food…lol

    This story amuses me.

  2. Devilgirl says:

    Who cares. He is a douchebag and Aniston will be crying the blues in another month or two. Like John Mayer would be on pins and needles, worrying about what Cox-Arquette is thinking. That should be obvious, because it is what we are all thinking, HE IS A DOUCHE! :mrgreen:

  3. Sandy says:

    Who is taking notes of these conversations word for word?? A pal Close TO Jen? I hope this “PAL” of Jen’s will be at the party. I would love to hear about the results. 1. Handsome — check; 2. Nice body — double check; 3. will leave Jen for someone younger — triple check.

  4. AC says:

    i don’t like them as couple.

    but who am i?

  5. Kiara says:

    I can’t believe how desperate Jen is!
    To have leak out all this and all the other garbage. She believes she has caught the catch of a life time and all she has is a douche bag.
    I can’t believe how desperate Mayer is. This shows he has’nt made it no where. I’ve lost respect for him. He is a total hypocrite.
    This old chick has used him like a tool but he is doing the same to her. He wants to stop the gay rumors this bad. It just tells me that there is some truth to them.
    I will not be at his concerts any more.
    She can forget about that movie it will always remind me of how desperate she was in 2008 before the cannes festival.
    In fact all of Hollywood has gotten so desperate these days.

    I think they are PERFECT for each other. And I agree, they’ll prolly take bong hits & order pizza. Which sounds like fun to me!

  7. Kiara says:

    I don’t like them as a couple either Both are douche bags and still trying to play a busted publicity stunt game.

  8. oh please says:

    klara right on da money!

    he’s trying to cover up the gay rumors, and aniston is trying to cover up the gay rumors.

    there’s no relationship.

    this mysterious “PAL” is huvane. leak, deny, leak, deny.

    I used to love courteney, but she’s aniston’s best buddy so she keeps losing MAJOR points in my book.

    yuck!

  9. mmkey says:

    I don’t think bong hits would cut it for jen aniston.

    and she wouldn’t touch pizza with a ten feet pole.

  10. Kaiser says:

    Whenever I hear stories like this, I always feel bad for David Arquette. It must suck to have a 40-something wife who still plays these bullshit high-school games with her best friend.

  11. someone says:

    Why would anyone believe a story out of the National Enquirer? Its one of the sleaziest rag mags around. Along with Star, its a great bird cage liner.

  12. vdantev says:

    They are still hot couple news? I thought the polish had come off this apple last week.

  13. Love Jen says:

    Jen is amazing, John is a lucky guy if she’s dating him.

  14. Cynic says:

    Can somebody please explain why supposedly privacy-loving celebrities, wanting to “stay under the radar” choose to sunbathe and canoodle poolside in public? Surely Aniston has a very nice pool in her own private backyard? I’m sure he does, too. 🙄

  15. Guest says:

    You guys honestly believe that Jen leaks out stuff to the National Enquirer that Courtney is giving a party for John. Oh my get a life! And now when she is filming a movie in Miami she is suppose to fly back to California in the middle of the shot to sunbath and get in the water at her own private pool. You guys really are over the top with your trying to make jennifer look bad. And a 40 year old cannot have girlfriends now – or she is stilll in high school. Really you guys are over the top. Are you all from some weird religion or something?

  16. mmkey says:

    14 guest, I guess you’re new in the hollywood gossip scene.

    jennifer aniston and her PR monster is the biggest famehos of all times.

    they are known to leak stories, set up staged photo shoots (see above pics)

    tabs have been making fun of this duo for the last three years.

    jen sunbathes almost naked in public beaches every other day, so much for a privacy loving celeb.

  17. Anon says:

    Yeah they totally suck as a couple. Won’t last, she’ll bore him. He likes brains.

  18. Judy Watson says:

    Leave Jennifer alone. Can’t believe the sick comments your readers make about Jennifer. Most sound totally uneducated, lowlifes with nothing going on in their own lives.

    P.S. Enough about Brangelina, they are not the King and Queen of anything!
