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: WHAT WERE THE SAD MEMORIES THE FRIENDS REUNION BROUGHT BACK?

Jennifer Aniston surprised everyone when she revealed that filming the Friends Reunion was NOT EASY for her. She said it brought back a lot of memories that were not necessarily good. In fact it was the “hardest time of her life.” At one point she even had to walk off camera to compose herself. She explained that the reunion reminded her about what was going on in her life at that time. She didn’t explain- but we CAN. Jennifer’s marriage to Brad Pitt was unravelling and she desperately wanted it to work. (Brad has admitted he became a couch potato- smoking and drinking too much) Remember when Jennifer’s character Rachel on Friends became pregnant? That script was written because Jen WAS pregnant in real life -and eventually had a miscarriage. Being reminded of the loss of her marriage and child was not easy for Jennifer…

GWEN STEFANI AND HER MODERN FAMILY

Despite a few bumps in the road, Gwen Stefani’s marriage to Gavin Rossdale still seems almost ideal. The National Enquirer reported that she had a miscarriage a few months ago and she was hoping for a little girl. Judging by all their happy family outings, another child would have a great life. If Gwen doesn’t give birth, maybe the Rossdales will adopt. Above, the family plays in a Beverly Hills park and they take a look at puppies up for adoption.
