PopEater’s gossip guy is at it again, this time theorizing what went down at Jennifer Aniston’s asstastic Cabo vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday. We already know that Aniston invited several of her friends to spend the holiday at Joe Francis’s mansion, and that one of those friends was Chelsea Handler. Well, Rob Shuter claims that Chelsea got her invite because she doesn’t molly-coddle Aniston – allegedly, Chelsea encourages Aniston to “meet new men” and stop with the “quiet nights” with Courteney Cox. And in return, Aniston supplied Chelsea with the motherload of vodka (my guess: those weren’t the only party supplies). Also: Chelsea wants Aniston to cut her hair. NOO! How would Aniston be able to survive?!?
Call them the new odd couple. America’s sweetheart Jennifer Aniston and sassy-pants comedienne Chelsea Handler are new best friends!
“Jennifer wanted to get away for Thanksgiving and hired two private planes to bring a bunch of friends to celebrate with her at a private home in Cabo San Lucas,” an insider tells me. “Jen has more money than she will ever be able to spend in her lifetime, so she decided Thanksgiving was the perfect time to splurge on the most important people in her life.”
And showing just how caring and thoughtful she can be, my source reveals that Jen “made sure Chelsea had plenty of vodka.”
Chelsea and Jennifer are not an obvious fit, but that’s what makes this friendship so exciting. Sources tell me that unlike Jennifer’s old pals, Chelsea isn’t afraid of telling Jen she needs to get out more and meet new people, especially new men.
“Many of Jen’s closest friends were with her when Brad broke her heart and have discouraged her from spreading her wings too quickly for fear she will get hurt again,” a source close to the actress tells me. “Chelsea is the opposite. She believes Jen is fabulous in her 40s and needs to paint the town red. No more sitting at home alone with her dogs. No more quiet dinners out with Courteney Cox and the girls.”
It looks like Jen is being encouraged to let her hair down, a bit of advice that Chelsea is taking literally. “She’s trying to convince Jen it’s finally time to cut off all that hair and start over.”
[From PopEater]
Even though I can’t stand Chelsea, if she’s giving Aniston that advice, it’s not bad. Of course, now I have an image of Aniston and Handler trolling Mexico for lithe young whippersnappers to pleasure their cougar needs. Also – who buys that Chelsea is six years younger than Aniston? Right?
Ok, who else thinks the bottom pic of JA with the braid is hysterical?
I think she looks much better with long hair than short. Remember when she cut it all off back in the Friends days? People always tell me that I should cut my hair for a change and when I finally did they all told they like it better long…
Brad broke Jen heart, now how in the world did he do that
“Many of Jen’s closest friends were with her when Brad broke her heart and have discouraged her from spreading her wings too quickly for fear she will get hurt again.”
Lord, it’s been 5 years. When is the woman going to ‘spread her wings’ for chrissakes. Does she think if she keeps everything exactly as it was when they broke up he’ll eventually come back? Jen, turn off the porch light, he ain’t coming back. Start swilling from one of those bottles of vodka and make an appointment at the salon.
Only really pretty people can get away with short hair. Aniston would be so fug
@ stronzilla — too effin funny!
Anniston is & has been batting for the home team. I think.
This is a woman who admits to eating the same salad everyday for the run of Friends I doubt that her inner circle encouraged to her to stay the same. I think she just didn’t listen to their subtle hints. Since Handler is about as subtle as a sledgehammer maybe she is getting through. I guess that part is good. I just don’t think Handler is proving her friendship by making racist jokes about 9 year olds.
I seriously don’t think Jennifer should cut her hair. That would be a big mistake.
Also a mistake . . . listening to anything Chelsea Handler says!!
@Ursaline I starred at it for 5 mins. All those pics were pretty bad, if you wanna find a bad pic of a celeb this is the place to go. LOL
UGH Can’t stand either one of them. Even though I can’t stand JA, she definitely needs a change of something…hair, men, career, face, SOMETHING! Srsly, is she gonna still be whining about Brad 20 years from now? It’s old and it’s stale and it’s sad.
Short hair and greek face not together go.
@stronzilla: LMAO at you today, liked your Kate basement remark too. hahahaha
“She decided Thanksgiving was the perfect time to splurge on the most important people in her life”?
Supposedly she is reconciled with her family. Was there no room in either of those chartered jets to share Thanksgiving with her parents? Or are they just not that important to her?
@mslewis: I agree. Her face is too long and angular for a short cut. But that Rachel style played out years ago. So what should she do with it? I dunno…
How about Chelsea cuts hers instead.
She just needs some updated bangs(much shorter) and layers into the long hair
Normades is right, only a true beauty can pull off short hair. Many women look fabulous with short hair, beauties or not, but a little length usually looks better.
Linda Evangelista and Halle Berry are great examples. Look amazing with short hair…but then they are true beauties
Secretly Chelsea wants to be the prettier one and if Jen cuts her hair off….*evil laugh” *rubs hands together*
Oh, I think she’s spread her wings a couple of times already.
@kiska…lol!!!!
She’s friends with Joe Francis. I just lost what little respect I had left for her. Who would own up to having that disgusting slimy woman beating sorry excuse for a human being as a “friend”? Maybe she needs to change her circle of friends before she cuts her hair.
Her hair is her whole identity . . .she basically acts with her hair, and everything revolves around her hair.
Handler’s right that — whether it looks better or worse — just getting rid of all that hair and trying something different would be a good thing. Just to get out from that security blanket of hair.
whatever,
she does need a new style. I’m tired of the same old role, same ol style.
I’m a fan but damn.
@Crash —
Funny. That’s exactly what I was thinking!
this article made me laugh sooo hard..
Chelsea should talk where has any of her own advice gotten her..
don’t listen Jen, Chelsea let a married man boink her for yrs and by the look of Chelsea’s horse face. she doesn’t hold the key to happiness.
look at that haggard face, she smells miserable..anytime, you’re using 50 cent for publicity–things are not as golden as they seem.
normades is totally right,
jennifers features are too harsh, too masculine to look good with short hair.
although in my head im thinking of shaved heads maybe she’d be ok with like a bob? actually no she wouldnt.
demi moore, natalie portman and angelina jolie still looked beautiful with shaved heads
ITA a short cut like Halle would never work but she could rock a modified bob.I guess Jen is a forgiving person because Chealsea has said some horrible things about her as late as 2009.
Surely she’s not friends with THE Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild? Different Joe Francis? That needs to be clarified quickly, because that guy is a scumbag.
I don’t know Chey!! Jennifer needs some sort of change to her look but I don’t know what it should be. Definitely not short hair though.
Here’s a suggestion . . . it doesn’t look like Jennifer has any movies lined up after the one she’s shooting now. Maybe she could do something to her hair/change her makeup/whatever during this downtime. She would have to do the promo work for the several movies she has in the can with the new look but that would be a great way to test the look, to see if people like it. I mean, the woman could have another “Rachel” look that people love and it just might get a few more butts in the seat to watch her movies.
@stronzilla, my thoughts exactly! It’s easy for Chelsea to come in the opposite advice, as you point out it’s been five years so the wings spreading is way past due. Any other friends want to point out the obvious?
I believe Chelsea is her age, she’s just a HARD 35/36. Jennifer’s a young 40/41, I mean she works really hard on it. I think Chelsea only found out this year she has to give a f**k but obviously genetics is not her friend, at least facially.
I don’t know about the hair. But what’s the worst that could happen? She could get together with buddy Oprah and make a huge stink about giving it to one of the ‘hair’ charities, she’d be lauded, she’d love it.
Joe Francis rents out this mansion to anyone who has the $$$$. They may not even know each other personally.
Ummm I havent heard her say anything about brad unless it was a prompted response to a direct question..the only folks who wont let it go is umm..us.
jen does need to cut her hair. maybe shoulder length with layers and soft bangs? maybe a few shades darker? she isn’t the only actress to act with her hair or need an update: angelina, goop, julia, etc. could all use a change. i’m not sure why only jennifer gets singled out for that.
Stronzilla: if she wanted Brad back, she’d be all up in his business 24-7 or talking about how much she misses him and that kind of stuff. I don’t recall her doing any of that.
She seems perfectly happy with the life she has now. I really do not understand this tag of “desperation” that she gets.
She hangs out, makes movies and hangs out. What is desperate about that?
She doesn’t need to cut her hair-her hair isn’t ratty or tangled or a hot mess like Britney’s weave. It looks fine. She looks better with longer hair-she’s found a style and a color that works for her and she’s sticking with it. Geez.
Anyway, not everyone spends Thanksgiving with their families, reconciled or not. I didn’t spend Thanksgiving with my family and we all get along great.
JA at scumbag Joe Francis mansion AND hanging out with Chelsea Handler? Gross! That’s quite the downward spiral. Wonder what’s next? A Hillbilly Barbecue with Jessica Simpson?
Imagine a drunk/normal Chelsea giving JA a ‘bowl’ haircut at Girls Gone Wild Mansion while a coked-out/normal 50 cent watches on, sends faux texts about how much fun he’s having with 2 ho’s.
@wunderkindt, Thank you for the vision and for the laugh!!!
She would look horrible with short hair and probably knows it. It helps deflect attention away from her face.
I think she’s been friends with Joe Francis for awhile. I recall in his Rolling Stone profile reading about the two of them (not romantically) flying around in his private jet. Not something I’d want to brag about.
I lost respect for Chelsea when she broke up with her bf as soon as she signed her contract. I could never understand a woman who is with someone just for economic interest. Disgusting.
I thought she looked great with the bob length cut she did back in the friends days. Her face is heart shaped, not long, she could get away with that cut very well.
Ok I will admit for about two years post breakup that I felt bad for this woman. I remember something my parents told me growing up along the lines of that you are who your friends are. I’m seeing the people that she’s surrounded herself with John Mayer, Chelsea, etc that aren’t the best people to hang with. I see now Jen can’t grow personally or professionally, (same salad, crappy movies, same old maid act) she’s boring. Angelina was an upgrade -let the shit storm begin. I don’t expect Jen to run around adopting kids or meddle in geopolitical matters. FFS though, find some passion and do some soul searching if that’s what it takes to GTFO of the same Cobb salad.
Jen, Don’t listen to anything Chessire Handman says.
She DOES NOT like you, she’s SOOOO jealous & wants to “ugly you up.”
She hates that you are an authentic star & she’s NOT.
She has a mean, dark, soul & she is NOT your friend. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
Spinner: She has “more money than she’ll ever be able to spend”? Spend it on someone else’s mansion then. Or rent a WHOLE hotel for the weekend. whatever. I wouldn’t even give him the revenue. She certainly doesn’t need her name linked with his. Not exactly good for the ‘ol image, yeah? She has enough problems. Like Chelsea Handler as her new BFF! And if they ARE friends? UGH!! I wouldn’t even rent a movie of hers from Redbox
Aniston is friends w/Joe Francis. Acc. to E!, when he was going on trial, he was planning to call her as his material witness. But then the case was settled out of court. So, yes they do know each other. Why anyone on this planet would be friends with this guy is beyond me??? But, I think he lets her stay at his gorgeous house–so she gets benefits out of it. They’re friends with benefits. 🙂
Aniston has gorgeous hair and she knows it. And anyone telling her she needs to go short… is full of sh*t.
She is not a naturally beauty… but she is a cute girl with a great look. And screwing with it will end badly.
And the last person who should be handing out advice about hair is Chelsea. Never trust a woman with a awful cut/look…. telling you what looks best. 🙂
Not to defend Aniston but Francis has ALOT of famous hollywood friends his recent wedding was a who’s who of Hollywood power players. Money always overcomes sleaze in Hollywood.
@mln. This.
Hollywood sucks ass–it amazes me that anyone can support that sleezebag.
Maybe she could try a different hair colour..Brown or Black…
Nahh, it will never happen
@bite me: He didn’t break her heart, he hurt her pride.
Everyone with dough parties at Joe Francis’ mansion. St Brad Pitt was the one who introduced them, he was friends w/ Joe first.
Joe Francis rents out this mansion to anyone who has the $$$$. They may not even know each other personally.
——————————————————
That’s what I thought also. He rents out his beautiful beach house to anybody who can afford it the same way Richard Branson rents out that island he owns in the Bahamas. And since Francis owes the government a sh!tload of money for back taxes, he needs all the revenue he can get.
SAD
this is sad– thanksgiving is about being with family
sad that she has no family to be together with—(as past holidays have also shown)—really really sad that she has no one and no thing but her body and money and buying friends trips to Cobo.
Damn.. a bird can fly in a minute. Don’t you think after 6 years and a number of relationships between her DIVORCE Aniston knows how to fly.
I don’t get the mention of Brad and his life at all in reference to her. I like many women that have had a break up when you move on you move on. 6 years is a long time.
Anyway.. she has not changed her hairstyle in YEARS. doubt she would do it. She doesn’t really do it in her movies either.. So there you go.. Handler is the last person to give anyone advise.
I’ve always liked Jennifer with her hair a little beyond shoulder length but not as long as it is now.
Not “short” short but shorter. I agree with Chelsea here. A little change would be good.
It amazes me how some can be such authorities on Jolie and Aniston! They seem to know everything about each one…..what they think, feel, who they know, don’t know. Amazing how total strangers can know someones most intimate feelings!
Short hair and greek face not together go.
*********
You got that right. I cut my hair short when I was in school and man, did I look like some scary thing. I’m half greek and half italian.
I thought Joe Francis’ place was in Puerto Vallarta?
She wouldn’t have to have short hair to change her look–there’s a lot of room between her current style and short hair. But I do think her look is kind of tired, and that she should change it up. And maybe stop wearing black to every awards show she attends, because it’s just kind of boring.
I think she needs to do something different with her hair, and her style in general. It looks good, but it’s getting boring-fast. God, I get bored having the same hairstyle/colour for 6 months, I don’t understand how she can handle 6 YEARS of the same.
JA looks perfectly fine with her long hair, besides men love long hair. I do think she loves her routines she needs to get out of her comfort zone and do something different.
@original kate: I agree with your first 2 sentences.
A change is as good as a holiday, so they say. A new, softer look wouldn’t hurt her or her image.
@Hautie: She doesn’t need to go short; she just needs to do something different. She’s been wearing the same hairstyle and hair color for 15 years now and frankly, it’s past old.
@Stronzilla LOL at “turn off the porch light.” Too funny.
It is unfortunate that she is buddies with Chelsea Handler. It is what it is. Shame.
She may/may not talk to the press anymore about Brad (thank God!), but she has no problem allowing her friends to continue to publicly weigh in on Brad/Angie. It was on Chelsea Handler’s show this year in August, where Aniston was the guest star, that Chelsea made a comment on behalf of her new “friend.” She barked that Angelina was evil, and then sweetly introduced Aniston to come onto the stage to join her. Now she’s hanging out with the same woman a few months later in Mexico over Thanskgiving holiday? Seriously? How’s that for moving on?
When all the snarky and cattiness completely stops from either her or her “friends” — that’s when we’ll know that she is truly over him. I am not holding my breath on this one.
How long is this woman and her friends going to use Brad for attention? Just this year, she had People magazine come to her birthday party and take pictures for a story. THEN, the cover comes out and says: “Jen: 5 Years After Brad: Fun, Flirty, and 41!”
IT’S been 5 fricking years!!! She and her Pr team need to STOP. It’s absolutely mad. She’s like one of the crazy fruit flies that absolutely refuses to go away. Just a complete cling-on. It actually makes me feel sorry for Brad and I hate that guy, his ratty-ass beard.
What IS IT with the hair thing??? Christ, it’s like half the women on this planet would commit suicide if something happened to theirs!
Everyone should impulsively shave their heads at least ONCE in their lifetime. It’s fabulous, ugly, confronting and incredibly liberating, and the air never stops touching your scalp! Suddenly you find other things to give a shit about and stop with the mind-f*cking vanity thing. JA is pathetically attached to the dead goddamn keratin on her head and nothing looks more desperate, more needy or more middle-age-crazy. LET IT GO!
🙂
Agree with the other posters.
A short bob she did in Friends way back when was nice.
She could do that.
I used to volunteer in a cancer centre and for most of the patients(men and women)losing their hair was tramatic. Almost worse than the diagnosis itself. The nastiness towards this woman is disgusting.
yeah, take beauty tips from Chelsea Handler.
I saw CH at my dermatologist getting her botox and God knows what else done.
I think I MAY have gone back one more time, but I haven’t been back after that. If the “35” year old STILL looks like that after seeing MY doc, then…. damn…. .
I thought he was good, but I am SORELY disappointed in you, Dr. R.
What is with the hair obsession on Jen? Some women find a good length and stick with it. I’ve had short, medium, and long hair and I like my hair long the best. Jen is in her 40’s. She knows what looks good on her and what doesn’t. Having short hair puts the focus more on her nose and chin a lot. Her hair right now is perfect. Why would she change it?
Why not suggest she wear something other than black and gray? Maybe a printed shirt or something? Or perhaps a new style other than a plain shirt and jeans? That would be a heck of a lot more different than cutting her hair.
I am getting a “Paris Hilton and any female celebrity” vibe from this friendship between Jennifer Aniston and Chelsea Handler. Paris Hilton tends to be a toxic influence(or dump depending on who you ask)with with any new “bff” she happens to be hanging out with. I see Chelsea Handler doing the same thing with Jennifer. This friendship will not last long, once it starts to affect Jennifer’s reputation as America’s Sweetheart, Jennifer will end the friendship.
@ Josephina (#63) and Lauren (#64): my thoughts exactly.
i think she has beautiful hair, i like it how it is, but i do think it was really cute on friends around the time of the cheesecake episode – where she and chandler are stealing them, her hair’s really cute then too
skibunny: Excellent post, and I totally agree. The hate for this relatively benign person seems pathological with some of these posters. You’d think she was a child molester by the way these people go on (and on and on). And before I’m accused of being a “hen” or whatever the foolish term is, I could care less about JA or her movies. I just don’t understand why her very existence seems to get people whipped into such a seething frenzy.
That pic with her eyes rolled up calls to mind a group of people that she recently made fun of…Tragic.
Ummmmm 73, you’re on CELEB BITCHY. What part of BITCH do you not understand? 😉 Why don’t you go to Pop SUGAR or Jen’s asskissers.com or an ILOVEJEN! fan site, if you want everyone to have the same opinion as you?
And, isn’t it funny that you make fun of all the other celebs, along with everyone else, BUT nobody can say anything bad about POOR ANISTON. Hypocrites.
I love Anne Hathaway but someone here said they want to punch her in the face. DO you see me crying over it like some whiny child? NO. Grow up–NOT everyone is in love with Jen freakin’ Aniston. Geez. 🙂
“You’d think she was a child molester by the way these people go on (and on and on). And before I’m accused of being a “hen” or whatever the foolish term is, I could care less about JA or her movies.”
Oh my god. Overreact much? People don’t like her hair, think she’s dull, and suddenly we’re “pathological,” hounding her like a child molester? I think you need help.
Suuure you’re not a fan. That’s why you and skibun go to every single Jen write-up and lecture everyone on how bad they are for not liking Jennifer Aniston. Spare us. I agree with Maria. Go to a fan site.
Wow, riled a few crazies up, did I? I wasn’t referring to people not liking her hair, ladies. I was making a broader statement about the intense hatred for this woman that rears its head on every single thread. And frankly, I don’t understand how not despising someone automatically makes me a mega fan, but it’s clear that neither reading comprehension nor logic factor into your “thinking,” so carry on, LOL.
Maria and Cherise: you are exactly the kind of poster I am referring to. I would say this if it were “any woman” not just Jennifer Aniston. What you just wrote tells me something about yourselves. Low IQ and no class.
@Skibunny/Majosha. Wow. Are you both 5yrs old. Name-calling is very immature. Saying that someone is crazy, has a low IQ, and no class b/c they don’t share your opinion on some silly celeb is way overboard. Take a break and find some fresh air or something. I don’t see that Maria’s post was offensive. She made a valid point. And the other poster, while rude, is right–you’re on a site called Cele-bitchy not Celeb-nicey. Everyone says a lot of none too nice things. And yet, only Aniston gets you both riled up. Which begs the question–why are you here?
@Lauren: read all the posts before you make a comment. This isnt about JA and whether you like or dislike her. It’s about women in general. I shouldn’t have to explain this to you. Figure it out for yourself.
@skibunny: No sense in trying to reason with these people. They’ll keep falling back on the “you’re just a couple of hens who worship Aniston” argument because they can’t come up with any reasonable explanation for their behavior. It’s sad, really.
Oh well, this thread is played out. Catch you later.
Skibunny–really? I’m laughing so hard>> I didn’t know gossiping is about women’s rights. YES, coming to a gossip site and defending Aniston is the same as defending ALL women in general. Because Aniston represents us all! Sisterhood unite! I think you’re a little mixed up. 🙂 Why don’t you go to National Organization for Women and donate your time, rather than taking some ladies to task for their opinions on a smutty gossip site. No one really cares what I, or anyone else, thinks about Aniston in the long run. I’m sure MS Aniston will survive with her gazillions of dollars, her successful career, and friends to tan with, and whatnot. What a joke.
Majosha–you haven’t begun to “reason” with anyone because you haven’t addressed a single valid point others have made. Why are you on a site called celeb-bitchy? I don’t get it. It makes no sense that you would be here and expect everyone to conform to some sort of civil behavior that you have in mind.
Majosha: you’re right,it’s pointless.
Here’s an idea Chelsea, encourage JA to also move overseas after she cuts her hair, and hopefully we’ll hear less about her. Yes she has great hair, and yes a great body, and yes she’s cute, etc. etc. But how much longer can she exist on a career of comedies that fall flat, eliciting pity from obsessed fans that want to elevate her to sainthood, losing a gorgeous hubby to a gorgeous movie star, not a sitcom star and being known for having a great ass and legs? She needs a new manager and a new PR person. Oh and dump Courtney Cox too.And please for the love of everything holy do not give JA a reality show. I agree it is Celebitchy. That’s why we’re all here, to bitch not lecture. We ladies know we’re the hardest on each other and the majority of us love to gossip, bitch, boss, criticize, it’s how we release tension coming on here. Skibunny and Majosha would you rather we take to the streets and beat some ass?
There should be a serious discussion on celebrity bullying online in depth. Jennifer Aniston gets it big time as do many other celebrities. I went on a pro-Jolie site and tried to explain that the cruel words used against Jen would be hurtful. I went on to say that it was okay to love Jolie but why bring Aniston into it at all? The consequences of my question resulted in me getting dozens upon dozens of comments. They called me a hag, a troll, fat, ugly, a paid employee, stupid and a bitch. They told me to S T F U and that I should get a disease and die. They then went on to abuse Jennifer in the most hideous way possible. I felt bad for bringing this on by the mere mentioning of her name. For the rest of the day I felt sick. I still feel sick and sad that this goes on and that hateful people can’t be reasoned with. Although it made me want to retaliate in kind, I resisted and tried to have reasonable dialogue. It didn’t work. It is a vicious circle that goes on and on. Just a day of it made me sick. I can’t even image what it is like to be Aniston and have this kind of talk going on. You know it’s there and try not to look or think about it I guess. It is much too easy to hate on line. Something must be done, more discussion needs to happen and blog rules set.
I love that picture of her with a braid. Her jaw line looks so cute and her expression is priceless.
@ Fanny:
It’s interesting that you’re so concerned about websites trashing Aniston but forgot to mention the really crazy ones that say the nastiest things about Jolie. Really nasty or downright insane! There’s one which has more than 1800 pages (first and last time I checked), each page with something around 10 topics (and each topic can reach more than a 100 pages) ENTIRELY dedicated to trash Jolie, Pitt and yes, even the kids. It was the weirdest thing I had ever seen.
The cyberbullying, as you say, against Aniston is nothing compared to what’s done to the Jolie-Pitts.
I’m telling you, if some of the posters from that website meets Jolie, I firmly believe they’re capable of physically attacking her.
My tip: don’t visit these sites, the only person who’ll be upset and disgusted is you, because Aniston probably has no idea these blogs exist — or she knows but probably doesn’t care. Just like I don’t waste my time trying to defend Angelina Jolie against those who will hate her forever no matter what she does.
Fanny stop torturing yourself by visiting those websites. Maybe you would feel better and you could channel your energies by getting involved in stopping cyber-bullying to our young people. We have had kids commit suicide over it. As far as I know there have been no reported celebrity deaths over so called cyper-bullying on a celeb website. Mostly we’re just people letting off steam and probably frustrated writers and comedians. It’s human nature when feeling attacked to fight back. If you really feel threatned why would you expose yourself to that time after time just to stick up for someone you don’t even know?
