These are some new and newish photos of Jennifer Aniston on the Hawaii set of Just Go With It, that film she’s doing with Adam Sandler, Nicole Kidman and Brooklyn Decker. She’s been in Hawaii for a while… is the whole film set there? I don’t know. In any case, it’s another romantic comedy, and with Sandler helming it, I bet it will be a hit. So, good career move for Jennifer. But should we give her credit for making a wise career decision? In Touch Weekly says “no” – because apparently Jennifer has hired one of her friends as a “life coach”. This woman tells Jennifer what films to do, how to decorate, and who not to pretend-date. Seriously! In Touch’s source claims: “Leigh advised Jen to abandon her ‘just for show’ relationship with Gerard Butler.” When was that again? When Gerard skipped out the European Bounty Hunter tour to bone a random French chick? Sounds like he was a step ahead of the life coach!
Jennifer Aniston’s longtime acting coach is now her life coach, too. Leigh Kilton-Smith, who has worked with Jen for 20 years, is now advising the star on all personal and career matters: She vets prospective boyfriends, helps her practice feng shui on her home and even helps choose acting projects, hoping to pull Jen out of her current career slump, according to an insider.
Though Jen’s rep denies Leigh is an official life coach, she says, “They have been close friends for years — and as friends, they give each other advice.”
“Leigh advised Jen to abandon her ‘just for show’ relationship with Gerard Butler, and Jen tells friends that she won’t make any life or work decisions without consulting Leigh first,” says the insider.
“She was the one who convinced Jen to break up with John Mayer and to get involved with the charity Friends of El Faro.”

If I wanted to be mean (and how), I would say that Leigh has a horrible, thankless job, and she does it poorly. But honestly, the job seems like it could be fun for a few weeks, and then it would get terribly boring. It would quickly go from “Another vacation to Mexico? Hurray!” to “No, Jennifer, you shouldn’t be dating that racist, homophobic, sexist douche John Mayer.” And then, “Yes, Jennifer, wear your hair in your face again today.” “Another romantic comedy? Why not!” “Chicken salad? Of course.” Rinse and repeat.
Of course I’m open to the possibility that Jennifer does not employ a life coach (sidenote: I keep typing “life couch” which is my new career path). But, in my opinion, having a life coach would be totally in character for her. She’s such a self-help-book, New Age-y, let’s-put-a-fern-in-my-relationship-corner type of woman. A life coach would fit right in. As would a life couch. Sigh… dream job!
This was funny.
And yeah life coach? Why not! If idiots like Tracy (fraudulent claims of fitness expertise) Anderson could fleece celebs with ‘advice’ why not? Still… I am bossy enough i think this would be fun. But w/ Aniston as a client i think it’s a 24/7 on call gig and um…no thanks.
Totally!! with some nice cushions and a good blanket. A nice persian underfoot… Good books nearby.
She looks adorable in the first picture … as for the “life coach”, I’m not buying it.
I love her! Like, really! I also am a life coach for several people and while it’s a lot deeper than those simple thing you quoted sometimes, at other times I do feel like “Hey, we’ve covered this before.” But I have to remind myself that I am not a Life Teacher – then I could get mad at my peeps for not listening and moving on. I am a life coach, I am there to be a sound board with an opinion, to guide and to try to influence. Not to dictate. If they are not ready to change I wind up saying the same thing a billion times until they are.
Look! She can raise her eyebrows! Bravo.
Aren’t all friends life coaches? Bogus story, shock, shock. It’s not like anyone actually believed she was in a relashionship with Gerard. She may have had flaming hot sex with him, but I don’t think either one of them thought they were a couple.
Anyone that advised her to get away from Mayer is an awesome friend.
I think she looks really cute in these photos! Real natural and sweet!
Nottoo surprised, she never seems sure of anything, she should listen to herself. Her friend shouldn’t even have to tell her to dump Mayer, or get involved in El Faro. She should be able to make such decisions for herself.
Well, that woman is a really bad acting coach so moving on to being a life coach seems about right!!

. . . with Sandler helming it, I bet it will be a hit.

Have you checked out Adam Sandler’s last few movies? I think, maybe you should look into that before you declare this a “good career move” for Jennifer.
I like her, but wish she’d do different types of movies.
I usually don’t believe tabloid stories but I believe this one. Not because it’s a type of thing Jennifer would do but because of her publicists’ statement. She could have said not true they’re just friends but adding in the friends give advice didn’t seem necessary.
All she does is work, vacation, yoga, and eat cobb salad, she doesn’t need any coach to do the same thing she has been doing for years.
If at her age she can’t figure out NOT to date men like Mayer/Butler, then she needs a shrink. Even Jessica Simpson didn’t go back for douchebag seconds.
And, Zohan kissing Rachel? That would have been cute . . . in 1996. They look a little awkward to still be doing this cutesy, teenager schtick. whatever
Another comedy and I am sorry Adam Sandler is a nice guy but aromantic comedy lead?? I think not one I want to see. Bet there won’t be any hook up rumors for Jen on this one.
The only two movies I have enjoyed Jen in were Office Space and Bruce Almighty.
She played very likable characters that had a cuteness, a very appealing sweetness.
But the rest of the dreck she associates herself with…..blah.
Sounds more like a “girlfriend” (romantically) then a life coach….
Why would someone who is so successful need a life coach? She’s already a top 10 wage earner, has plenty of friends, hot boyfriends, a beautiful new $15M house…but wait! She doesn’t have a baby yet. That must be it.
Life Couch! That is awesome hahaha! I either want one of those, or need to BE the life couch
starts to meditate and do a complicated yoga pose to achieve new agey manifestation of the life couch in my life
Agreed PJ – this is ridiculous. Just because Jennifer seems “New-agey” or into self-help books does not mean she isn’t a shrewd and astute business woman – this is L&S for *** sakes! For all the crap that’s written and thrown at her, people seem to forget that she’s managed 20 years in the entertainment business as a successful actress, producer and director and is one of the top 10 female earners and bankable actresses – something you don’t get by being someone in need of other’s to make all life’s decisions, including the mundane ridiculous ones put forth by L&S. This Leigh woman has been a friend of Jennifer’s for many years and also often works with her as an acting coach (she’s also worked with many other celebs). I’m sure in all that time she has offered Jennifer advice on life, and vice versa. But for L&S (and some on here) to turn that into this life coach story – pure fiction. Not to mention they give this away by the Butler comment.
And FYI: Jennifer is doing just fine career-wise: that “flop” Bounty Hunter has already tripled its production budget, so it shouldn’t be any wonder to people why she is so in demand. This film looks like it will be a success as well given the cast, release date, and what is apparently a funny story.
There were far more interesting and truthful stories that could have gone with these cute pics – like some of the quotes from the cast’s Entertainment Tonight interview where she and Sandler discussed their over 20-year friendship and how he has wanted to work with Jennifer for a long time. Or how close they have all become on set – like the Radar Online reports and photos of Jennifer and Nicole hugging and hanging out between takes. Not sure why those real stories were ignored in favor of this garbage tabloid crap.
Leigh is a good friend. My good friends give me advice, which I eventually follow. Why shouldn’t Jen take her “friend’s” advice? I’m guessing this post was the bitchy in Celebitchy.
I would love for some stupid-can’t-think-for-themselves celebrity to pay me to tell them how to live their life (sigh)
What friend goes everywhere and I mean everywhere with you? besides what the heck is Aniston doing having an acting coach who actually comes with her the whole duration for a movie? her fans don’t want to believe that Aniston is programmed both in her personal and professional life, people tell her who to date, not to date, how to act, how to look. She is incapable of thinking for herself unless it passes the filter of her friends. We all know people like that you need to dissect something to be able to finally make a decision and sadly that decision is not theirs. Sad actually. The minute she starts listening and more important believing in herself and making her decisions whether bad or good, is that time she will be most content. Her ex-husband something in one of those interviews after the divorce. He said “one has got to know themselves” Brad knew what he wanted and went for it full speed, he wanted a family and look at him now. Jennifer has somehow not been able to get off her feet, 5yrs after the divorce all she can come up with as an accomplishment is she finally managed to build her house really!!!
shaark, if accomplishment by your standards is simply getting married and having kids than yes she hasn’t accomplished much. Simple standards for simple people I guess.
A 41 year old woman needs a “life coach” to make her decisions for her?
How come she is so pretty?
She looks like a pretty young girl!
Oh of cooourse!
A story of her in a stupid/negative light from InTouch (which is known for making up bullsh-t stories) and there isn’t an undertone of “This is such crap.” And of course it may be true because “that’s the sort of person she is.”
And that gives free reign to write and make her out to be someone who does nothing more than yoga or diet. (I wonder if her “Life Coach” was the one who suggested she donate half a mil to Haiti. She couldn’t possibly have made that choice on her own. She was too busy tanning in Mexico, getting pedicures and dieting….) And everyone buys it.
Good to know. InTouch stories about everyone else = Horsesh-t. InTouch stories about JA = Could Toootally buy it!!!
@Anon
Completely agree with you.
Life coach: euphemism for “annoying yenta.”
I dont even think of Jennifer Aniston as a real actress considering shes always the same person in every role she s ever played. like really, change it up a bit! No wonder why guys get bored of her all the time, She does nt have any depth in her acting and im pretty sure she does nt have any depth in person either.
Didn´t Rachel Green hire Phoebe as a life-coach in some episode of Friends?
Couldn´t it be just false and based on that episode?
Just asking, I don´t know the woman and I don´t even watch her movies, but I enjoyed every season of Friends!
OMG she looks so Gorgeous in the first picture! Again i don’t believe this crap! even tho it’s not offensive in any way..but wtf? life coach? seriously?
She should trade her life coach for a life couch and shtump a hot guy on it that can actually stick around a treat her with devotion and respect.
You don’t get a hot guy to stick around and treat you with devotion and respect by shtumping him on a couch. She’s probably learned that the hard way by now. 🙄
Yeah Chey, because it is not enough to be happy and healthy and working, you gotta have a MAAANNNN on your couch and popping babies out every year and a half. You know, I used to like Wyoming.
Isn’t that what this annoying hag wants us to believe? She’s made a million statements about wanting “babies” and “there is some guy out there who will be the future father of my kids,” and I’m getting my kid fix, etc. If people are saying things about her wanting babies, it’s ONLY because this stupid twit is feeding it. She’s been saying the same crap for 10 yrs now. She doesn’t have an honest bone in her body. Media ho
She looks so young and pretty. Wow!
@Melanie: you totally missed the point, but since your emotional maturity is about four and a half, why would I be surprised?
@Cheyenne
What was the point exactly?
@Cheyenne
What was the point exactly? And because I’m never really sure which story you believe, can you please elaborate?
When rumours came out of GB and JA dating, your response was “PR” “Dread Pirate Huvane” “Fake!” “Desperate woman” “Not real” blah blah blah. So from there, I surmised that you didn’t believe it was real.
Then it comes out that GB is “shtumping” some reporter in France (Germany?) or banging someone else and your response is then “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Even a slammin body is not enough to keep a man.” So from there, I guess, you did believe that they were dating and now, he moved on to greener pastures…?
OR
You just switch your opinions to whichever makes her look more negative. Either she’s really not dating anyone and it’s just a farce OR she’s not able to “keep” :l a man. Or maybe when she says she’s not dating them, she telling the truth and the tabloids are just willing to pair her up with anyone she stands next to by default.
So you see, maybe your flip-flopping is what makes people NOT get your point.
I didn’t believe they were dating then and I don’t believe it now. But if she’s looking for a long-term relationship, she won’t find it by screwing some guy on the couch. A hot body may be enough to attract a man but it’s not enough to keep him.
Now do you get it?
Jennifer Aniston is amazing she has made it big since FRIENDS and she has no luck in love but she will find Mr. Right someday she needs her luck to change!
