US WEEKLY THINKS JENNIFER ANISTON IS TURNING INTO DORIS DAY

Us Weekly is picking on Jennifer Aniston again. They insist she requested to have her close-ups retouched in her movie coming out in August, “The Switch.” They say she’s terrified of ageing and as a consequence she has a grueling exercise regimen and is always on a starvation diet. NEWSFLASH: what actress in Hollywood DOESN’T want to look youthful and employable as long as possible? Jennifer does a great job of maintaining her looks and she can’t help it if the only job offers she gets are for romantic comedies. Back in the 60’s, Doris Day was in the same “romantic comedy” rut and her movie close-ups were soft and blurry so she wouldn’t look her age. We think Jennifer’s perfectly normal and wonder why magazines want to make her appear to be love-starved and despondent about her looks.

WAS DORIS DAY'S CRUSH ON STEPHEN BOYD UNREQUITED?

We happen to love Doris Day movies – she’s always so cheerful. She might not be so happy to learn that there’s a new biography coming out about her sexy private life. “Doris Day: The Reluctant Star,” written by David Bret, will be released in the UK this summer and early leaks reveal some tantalizing assertions. We were floored when the author casually remarked that Doris had crushes on gay men like Rock Hudson and Stephen Boyd. We had no idea Stephen Boyd (really handsome in “Ben Hur” and that New York career girl movie “The Best of Everything”) was GAY! Is this common knowledge, or pure conjecture? Any experts out there?
