BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON HAD A VERY CIVILIZED DIVORCE

Need more proof that there’s no bad blood between exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? well then here you go: Brad recently introduced Jen to his current girlfriend, aspiring jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, and the gals hit it off so well that Jen has offered to help Ines get publicity for her jewelry line! It’s common knowledge that having a celebrity wear or endorse something is a huge deal, and let’s face it, Jen is on Hollywood’s A-list. She’s agreed to wear a few of the jewelry items from Ines’ label (she’s an executive and also designed a few pieces). And that’s not all, Jen also taught Ines how to make Brad’s favorite banana smoothie. My source says that Brad and Jen remain wonderful friends but neither has any interest in getting back together.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW…

Desperate times call for desperate measures, just ask Donald Trump. We just heard that Donald is freaking out now that Kamala Harris and not President Joe Biden is who he’s running against. Reports just circulated that Trump is looking for black surrogates to take to the airwaves and sing his praises. He’s SO desperate that he even reached out to his former friend, Kanye West, and asked the troubled rapper if he would appear on his behalf. Kayne hasn’t agreed yet, but my source says the attention seeking Kanye will likely do it just to stay in the limelight.

Record-breaking gold Olympic medalist, Simone Biles has big plans once she retires from gymnastics. We just heard that Simone is set to host her own sports related talk show on ESPN and none other than her pal Magic Johnson will be producing! Details are just trickling out, but expect to see Simone’s show in 2025.

It was just announced that Britney Spears inked a deal with Universal Studios to turn her autobiography, The Woman In Me, into a big screen movie. As we previously reported, Britney also wants to turn it into a Broadway musical. We just heard that as part of her seven figure deal Britney has the right to not only approve casting of the movie, but also to launch the musical. A worldwide search is underway for an undiscovered singer with real chops who can portray Britney.

In sad news this week, Taylor Swift was devastated that three innocent girls were stabbed to death in the UK at a dance studio featuring her music. Taylor does not want any publicity for this, but we just heard that she is picking up the tab for all of the funeral arrangements and anonymously made huge contributions to the Go Fund Me pages launched to help the victims’ families.

Jennifer Aniston was photographed this week filming her popular series, The Morning Show. Photographers caught Jen filming one scene where she was splattered in oil and another where she’s having a breakdown. We just heard that Jen has a big surprise for viewers. She persuaded her ex-husband and still good friend Brad Pitt to appear in upcoming episode. Brad hasn’t filmed his spot yet, but it will likely air later in the year or even as the season finale.

Finally, the biggest news of the week is who will current Vice President Kamala Harris pick for her own vice presidential running mate. While our secret political source has a few theories, we do know is that Kamala just filmed various television commercials touting her choice. She was proactive enough to film different variations of the commercial featuring the top three contenders for her running mate. No one knows who she’s going to pick, but Kamala wanted to be ready to blast the airwaves with television commercials once she makes her choice. For what it’s worth, my political source says Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona seems to be the front runner but Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro is a very close second.

FRIENDS CAST IS COMMITTED TO UBER

 

Here’s an interesting gossip update.  Back in November we told you that the cast of Friends were secretly uniting for a Super Bowl ad, but the idea got scrapped after the unexpected passing of Matthew Perry.   The ad agency still liked the idea of a reunion commercial, but felt it would be too sad if the remaining cast were  all featured without Matthew. After much brainstorming, they decided to tweak the reunion idea and only feature two of the remaining Friends cast – Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer.  The concept got green-lit for an Uber Eats commercial  and our source says expect to see the other three remaining Friends in a future Uber spot, most likely to air this spring.

JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX WANT TO BUY MATTHEW PERRY’S HOUSE

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are teaming up to buy the $6 million home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles where their Friends costar, Matthew Perry died. According to an insider, the gals  know that Matthew loved the house and don’t want it turned into an Airbnb for morbid looky-loos, because Matthew drowned in the pool. Since money is no object, they’re hoping to purchase the house,  redo the pool and  refurbish the outside.  Both girls have made renovating homes their side hustle, so this could be a lucrative project – they plan to donate any profits to the foundation in Matthew’s name. Since pulling permits from the city can be cumbersome, Jen and Courteney are trying to buy the home from Matthew’s estate ASAP so they can start the process. Smart move – the home has already been added to one of those celebrity bus tours and tourists have been seen snapping photos of the property.

MATTHEW PERRY’S DEATH CAUSED JENNIFER ANISTON TO RETHINK HER LIFE

Just a few years ago, Jennifer Aniston revealed she had NO plans anytime soon to write her memoir, but Matthew Perry’s unexpected death has made Jen rethink this. Jen is obviously devastated and still in shock over the loss of her Friends costar, but she’s found some comfort in knowing Matthew was able to share his story – including his struggles with addictions – with the world before passing. According to a friend, Jen has had a change of heart at writing her own story so she’s quietly working on a manuscript. From her challenging relationship with her mom, to her time on Friends, and of course her failed marriage to Brad Pitt, Jen is ready to tell her story. My source says that well-mannered Jen won’t throw anyone under the bus, and is already reaching out to get permission from anyone she plans to mention.

WHY MATTHEW PERRY’S COSTARS ON FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SILENT

Countless celebrities have taken to social media to memorialize Matthew Perry after his unexpected death at 54 on October 28. His 5 Friends costars, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer have remained silent. According to my source the tight knit group is debating whether to issue a joint statement or individual ones. My source says that the group wants to schedule their statements so they are released at the same time. It’s likely to be the SAME statement but they’re all in such a state of shock and mourning that they’re changing their plans by the moment. My source expects something will be released today…

REESE WITHERSPOON HAS PLANS FOR HER THREE BEST FRIENDS

It’s cute to imagine Laura Dern, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Reese Witherspoon all living together like a modern day version of The Golden Girls -and it just might happen in real life and onscreen. The girls, all currently single, (Courteney’s boyfriend lives in the UK) have made a pact that if they all wind up alone in their golden years, they’re going to move in together. They’ve become one of the closest foursomes in Hollywood both professionally and personally. But that’s not all! Reese wants to produce a revamped and updated version of The Golden Girls series, starring her and her three best friends. It’s in the very early development stages, but given her success with The Morning Show on Apple TV, it’s likely to wind up there.

JENNIFER ANISTON AND BRAD PITT WILL REUNITE ONSCREEN

 No grudges here. Exes Jennifer  Aniston and Brad Pitt are getting remarried, but ONLY on the big screen. Early in their marriage, Brad guest-starred on Friends and he and Jen hoped to eventually costar in a movie, but they divorced in 2005 before it happened. The closest they came to becoming costars was in 2020 during a Covid 19 fundraiser where they joined other celebrities in an online read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Nice to see that this pair had a civilized divorce and have morphed into fabulous friends. Brad decided the time was right to finally do a movie together which his company, Plan B, will produce. He and Jen will play an unhappily divorced couple in the rom-com who are forced to remarry in order to inherit a fortune. The script is being tweaked and they hope to begin filming this summer.

WHAT JENNIFER ANISTON IS NOT TALKING ABOUT

We happen to have a high opinion of Jennifer Aniston and think she’s one of the most decent, down to earth, and amiable women in Hollywood. Her interview in Allure covered a lot of her feelings about intrusive media, and her frustrating attempts to get pregnant. She DID leave out one important fact. Jen actually DID get pregnant (with husband Brad Pitt) before the 8th episode of Friends. Writers hastily wrote a pregnancy into the plot for Rachel (Ross was the “dad”) as Jennifer’s tummy grew. But months later, Rachel’s tummy disappeared for a Halloween show, and the tummy came and went for the next 12 months. What happened was, Jennifer had a heartbreaking MISCARRIAGE after just a few months and because of that, writers had continuity problems – frantically trying to patch together storylines. It was a VERY sad time for Jen, but she went on with the series for two more seasons. After that, she and Brad split up.

JENNIFER ANISTON

Jennifer Aniston reported back to work on the New York set of The Morning Show looking as fresh as ever. We love the fact that even though she’s on camera, Jennifer never overdoes it in the makeup department. She’s never seen in those thick and heavy false eyelashes and she still has natural lips – so many actresses have those gigantic lips dripping with gloss. She might be just the right person to come out with a line of natural looking makeup- the exact opposite of the Kardashian collection. Jen already has Lolavie hair products, so it wouldn’t be a stretch.
