Jennifer Aniston planning to have baby

Jennifer Aniston is apparently planning to start a family.

The former 'Friends' star reportedly told friends she is going "full steam ahead" to have a baby this year, reports Stuff.co.nz.

It has been claimed the 41-year-old star - who is currently single - is considering either adoption or using a surrogate mother, after the processes proved successful for other famous faces.

"Jen has been weighing up all her options, everything from using a surrogate to finding a suitable sperm donor. She's determined to go full steam ahead with becoming a mum," a source told National Enquirer.

"Jen sees this as the perfect time in her life to have a child. Right now, she prefers the idea of adoption, but using a surrogate like Sarah Jessica Parker did is also a possibility.

"And single mom Sandra Bullock has become a kind of role model for Jen since she adopted her baby a year ago," the source said.

Jennifer has been spending increasing amounts of time with Courteney and her 6-year-old daughter Coco since Courteney announced a trial separation from her husband David Arquette.

The former 'Friends' co-stars are believed to have celebrated Christmas together and being around a child over the holiday season made Jennifer realize she is ready to have one of her own.

"Jen was overwhelmed by the love shared between mom and daughter - and it brought out all her maternal instincts," the source said.

"She loved hanging out with Coco, playing with her and chatting to her. It just emphasised to her how much she needs to be a mom herself," added the source.

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

When Aniston got a letter from Jolie

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston was shocked when she once received a letter from actress Angelina Jolie. According to reports, Jolie, who raises six children with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, decided to reach out to her in an attempt to put an end to their long-running feud.


"Angelina doesn’t want any more bad energy in her life and she hates the hostility that exists between her and Jen," showbizspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying.


"It’s taken her a very long time to work up the courage, but she’s coming from a good place and genuinely wants to put the past behind them," the source said.


"It may seem crazy, but for those of us who actually know Angelina, it really isn’t all that surprising. She’s an unpredictable character, so for her to reach out to Jen like this is just the sort of behavior she’s known for."


"In the note, Angie tells Jen that she would make a wonderful mother and that she’s at the perfect age and time of her life to have her first child. What’s more, Brad is fully behind her. He’s so proud of Angie for reaching out to Jen," the source added.


The source further said that when Aniston opened Jolie's note, she was "beyond shocked. I think she suspected at first that it must have been sent as some kind of a prank."


"Still, when Jen realised Angie’s letter was sincere and genuine, she actually went from shocked to being impressed. Being a mature person, Jen must have recognized how much of an effort it was on Angie’s part to have gone through with the letter," the source added.

Ageing beauty Jennifer Aniston wouldn't ever have a baby via artificial insemination

Ageing beauty Jennifer Aniston says she wouldn't ever have a baby via artificial insemination.

The actress, who plays singleton Kassie who decides to use a friend as a sperm donor to have a baby in new movie "The Switch" would prefer to conceive a child in the traditional way, reports contactmusic.com.

When quizzed by talk show host Jay Leno on whether she would undergo artificial insemination, she replied: "I'd wanna know the guy!"

Leno continued to tease the 41-year-old Hollywood star actress about the embarrassing subject matter putting her on the spot about how a sperm bank works.

"Well, you go to the bank and you have a card... I honestly don't know exactly," she said.

New Perfume ad launched Jennifer Aniston goes topless

"Friends" star Jennifer Aniston has bared all in a series of promotional shots for her new perfume line and she looks fit and fabulous in them.

Aniston, 41, posed topless with only a white skirt positioned low on her hips and the photographs were taken at her favourite holiday getaway spot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, reports dailymail.co.uk

Her debut perfume line is called Lolavie, which means "laughing at life". She will be launching it Wednesday at luxury departmental store Harrods where the perfume will be sold exclusively.

Aniston will be at the department store herself, signing bottles for customers.

She says she has been involved with every step of developing the fragrance.

"It wasn't just about showing up for a shoot and putting my name on the bottle. I felt like a little chemist. It's turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something," said Aniston.

She says her scent will smell "sexy and clean...floral but not too flowery".

"I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan. I want people to go 'what is that? You smell great!' But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural," she added.

Jennifer Anisten nipple look like fake nipples

Jennifer Aniston’s boobs are looking perkier than ever, sparking rumours that the actress is fighting nature with a little 15-pound silicone fashion accessory called Bodyperks - false nipples.

The former Friends star has always refused to enhance her breasts through surgery but she seems to be following in the footsteps of growing numbers of Hollywood celebs using fake nipples.

"Jen has always made it clear she loves the natural look and doesn’t want implants,” News of the World quoted a friend as saying.

"But she loves to feel confident going out wearing tight tops so this is a perfect way for her to defy her age without having to go under the knife," the friend added.

The ex-wife of actor Brad Pitt has always been keen for those vital parts of her figure to stand out in the crowd.

And she’s been particularly concerned since she started shooting for the new Adam Sandler movie ‘Just Go With It’ in Hawaii with gorgeous Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker, who’s just 23.

"Jen’s not someone to get paranoid about younger women. But she and Brooklyn are spending a lot of time in the heat wearing bikinis,” a source said.

"And that 18-year age gap between them is quite significant so Jennifer wants to look her best," the source added.

Aniston, Butler in a raunchy photoshoot

After sparking rumours of revived romance, Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston and Scottish actor Gerard Butler have set tongues wagging with a raunchy photo-shoot together.

The pair will appear on the cover of US fashion magazine W in its future edition. The pics, taken in the desert outside LA, reveal slender Aniston in skimpy underwear while burly Butler poses as a leather-clad New York policeman.

The 40-year-old former Friends star and The Ugly Truth star Gerard, also 40, put on a flirty display at the Golden Globes last weekend, fuelling speculation that time spent filming upcoming thriller The Bounty Hunter together has led to an off-screen affair.

And the images are sure to provoke yet more comparisons between Aniston and Jolie, who posed with Brad Pitt for the magazine in 2008.

“For two days Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were in the desert outside LA ­creating these really hot pictures. The result is the raciest cover in the history of W. Those pictures of Brad and Angelina? Forget it,” the Daily Express quoted a source at the magazine as saying.

“Jen has a natural and effortless sexiness compared to Angelina’s very stylised look. And you have Gerry who is just the epitome of a manly man, dressed in a cop uniform. These photos will do nothing to quell the rumours of their romance – quite the opposite in fact,” the source added.

Jennifer Aniston cries thinking about Brad Pitt

It seems Jennifer Aniston still has feelings for ex-hubby Brad Pitt as she burst into tears in her trailer while filming in New York, telling an assistant that a scene 'reminded her of him,' a source said.

The former Friends star, who was shooting for The Bounty with Gerard Butler, was reportedly spotted in tears.

According to a source, an assistant saw Aniston in tears inside the trailer when he went to call her, reports the New York Post.

The source said Aniston told the assistant: "I need a moment. This scene reminds me of Brad and me".

Aniston had gathered her calm when she came out from her trailer. "While she enjoyed flirting with Gerard on set and put a brave face on every day, privately she is still very fragile," added the source.

However, Aniston's rep has rubbished the story and said it is 'ridiculous . . it never happened.' Pitt and Aniston had separated in January 2005.

Jennifer Aniston Eyes A Music Career

Jennifer Aniston might be one of the most beautiful actresses on the plant, but she could be eyeing up a music career after belting out a tune on the Ellen DeGeneres show this week.

The poor star is appearing as a singer in her forthcoming movie The Goree Girls, so good old Ellen decided she had to prove her worth before she could actually play the part of a musician.

So, in the spirit of American TV, Ellen pulled out a mic and get Jen to serenade her with a few lines from the song, I’ve Got A Crush On You, can’t say we’ve ever heard it before, but nevertheless, we’re definitely going to find it on iTunes now.

But don’t take our word for it, have a listen below and tell us what you think? Is she the new Britney? Or should she stick to the day job?

What the Kiwi gossip mags say

Starving for food, hungry for love and desperate for fame, the heavyweights of the Kiwi gossip trade have gone all Hollywood.

New Zealand's tabloid magazines have opted for celebrity fodder from further afield this week with an emaciated Victoria Beckham, eternal singleton Jennifer Aniston and irritating earth mother Angelina Jolie taking centre stage.

Woman's Day posts a skeletal Beckham cloaked in a purple sheath on its front cover. Praying mantis-like Posh has apparently shocked onlookers - yet again - with her frighteningly thin frame.

But don't worry, Beckham reveals she doesn't really have a eating disorder.

"I was never anorexic, I was never bulimic, but I was probably very close to it.

"I could tell you the fat content and calorie content of absolutely anything. I was obsessed. I began living on vegetables and nothing else. I used to chop up bowls of spinach and carrots and steam them or I'd just eat peas."

Phew, as long as you're eating peas you must be doing okay.

Elsewhere, the picture editor at New Idea must have shrieked with glee when she first spied this week's cover shot: Everyone's favourite girl next door, Jennifer Aniston, is spotted crying in public.

Luckily NI is here to tell us what prompted the outburst. Evidently Aniston has now reached "the lowest point in her personal life" and is struggling after being left on the shelf by legions of leading men.

"I'm not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room. If I'm the emblem for 'This is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life'', so be it", Aniston said.

The mag reveals that in 2005 Aniston said: "There's an amazing man wandering the streets right now who's the father of my children. In five years time, I'd hope to be married and have a kid."

NI brings her crashing back to earth. "Sadly, four years on, the dream is still eluding her", the magazine intones.

The mag sounds like a grandmother in a bad mood.

Over at Woman's Weekly Aniston's famous foe Angelina Jolie is "starved for love". She's probably just starving for some carbohydrates.

This perpetual hunger has allegedly been kick-started by her man hunk Brad Pitt's waning love for her.

Pitt told reporters that "children ... wasn't really what I was seeking" and his life with Jolie had its "aggravations and irritations".

And this week's local cringe inducing story has to go to NI's exclusive "shock confession" from TVNZ broadcaster Paul Henry.

Henry confesses his "love" for former adversary, ex-Prime Minister Helen Clark, and shares the romantic details of the day he and Clark spent together in the Big Apple.

The pair went to the Statue of Liberty, wore matching foam hats, shared burgers at a diner and went to an off-Broadway play before devouring a pizza over a "few bottles" of red wine, Henry told NI.

"She bought me a ticket to the play and we had most extraordinary conversations during the intermission, and then over pizza afterwards. It was a wonderful night"

Um does Clark's hubby Peter know about this?

Finally, the quote of the week comes from former Spice Girl turned aerobics instructor Mel B.

The mother of two began slimming down for the US Dancing with the Stars show which somehow led to her releasing a range of exercise videos.

But Mel B says her "amazing shape" is due to another kind of workout - having sex with her husband Stephen Belafonte five times a day.

"I'm a nymphomaniac. It's all-over body conditioning, after all."

There is such a thing as TMI, Mel.

Metallic Beauty Britney Spears

Britney Spears' beauty secret is aluminium foil.

The 'Womanizer' singer reportedly uses cool strips of the metallic cooking aid to give her lips an instant pick-me-up when she is feeling tired.

A source said: "To keep her lips looking perky and fresh, her make-up artist takes a sheet from a stockpile of frozen foil in his freezer, pokes a hole in it so Britney can breath through her mouth and smoothes it over her face."

To keep her lips looking perky and fresh, her make-up artist takes a sheet from a stockpile of frozen foil in his freezer, pokes a hole in it so Britney can breath through her mouth and smoothes it over her face.

The regime apparently helps reduce puffiness and swelling, leaving Britney with a perfect pout.

Britney, 27, is not the only star with an unusual oral beauty regime.

Jennifer Aniston apparently uses a homemade lip scrub containing sugar and water to banish flaky skin, while Angelina Jolie swears by a $4 lip balm.

A source said of the 'Tomb Raider' beauty: "Angelina stockpiles the lip butter to preserve her to-die-for pout. She likes it because it also helps to freshen your breath and Angelina hates chewing gum"

Jennifer Aniston is Perky Pretty

A perky-looking Jennifer Aniston steps out in a pair of straw wedges as she arrives to the set of her new movie The Bounty in New York City on Thursday (July 30).

It’s been recently revealed that the 40-year-old actress allows herself a nightly cigarette before heading off to bed. She does this while taking in the skyline of her favorite city on Earth — The Big Apple.

Megan Fox tops Most Envied Bodies

Actress Megan Fox has topped Heat magazine's ‘Most Envied Bodies 2009’ list. The Transformers star was followed by Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, who came second.

"We've always known that Megan Fox is a hit with men, but we were surprised at how quickly she has made an impact on women- they consider her to have the most covetable celebrity body,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Julian Linley, editor of the magazine, as saying.

But despite having the most desired body, Megan apparently has a phobia of looking at herself, telling Film.com, "I usually don't watch myself, I don't watch playback, I don't look at still photos, I have a phobia of it."

Julian Linley added, "It's really refreshing to see Cheryl Cole beating curvy bikini goddess Kelly Brook to second place, and for the Brits to make the top ten, alongside Jennifer, Angelina, Beyonce and co."
