Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are still together. And they had a date night on Wednesday – a double date night! Who were JustJen’s couple-friends? Chelsea Handler and Andre Balazs (they’re back together, you know)? Courteney Cox and [random Cougartown costar]? Who was it? Why, it was Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. And they were conveniently pap’d coming out of the restaurant too! You can see the photos here at X17. Imagine that.
Talk about a power-foursome! While Jennifer Aniston has been keeping a low-profile and spending time getting her new Los Angeles home move-in ready, the actress and her beau of nearly one year, Justin Theroux, hit the town Wednesday night for dinner with Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson.
The group dined at trendy westside eatery Katsuya Brentwood, staying for over two hours. “They all appeared to be really enjoying each other’s company and sat at a private booth,” says a source. “It was a fun sake and sushi double-date between two super power couples.”
As for Aniston, 43, and Theroux, 40, who have been the subject of recent wedding chatter, “Jen and Justin are both doing great,” says a source. “They have both been working on upcoming movie projects.”
I didn’t really know that any of these people knew each other. I’m kind of disappointed in Rita and Tom – usually, they’re socializing with Ron Howard and his wife or Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. It feels like JustJen are trying to social-climb, rather than “a fun sake and sushi double-date between two super power couples.” Too obvious, Huvane. I don’t think anyone refers to (or even thinks of) Justin and Jennifer as a “power couple” (much less a “super power couple” – LOL) Especially considering their last film earned a whopping $6.6 million on its opening weekend. Tom Hanks makes that much in a few minutes of voiceover work. In his pajamas.
In other JustJen news, The Enquirer has a lengthy story about their alleged wedding plans. Allegedly, the wedding is planned for this summer in Greece, specifically the island of Crete. Aniston wants her goddaughter Coco Arquette to be the flower girl, and Chelsea Handler will be the cocaine-soaked maid of (dis)honor. Aniston wants it to be intimate – just friends and family, except for her mother, of course, whom Aniston refuses to invite. Blah, blah. This isn’t happening. But it does remind me of one connection that Aniston has with Rita Wilson – they’re both Greek girls. But that seems like a weird basis for a “super power couple” friendship, right?

Thats nice
LOL… exactly!
well damn..
I think Aniston and Rita have been friends for years. She was at some dinner party a time ago when they hosted Paul McCartney. And funny how Aniston and Rita look a bit a like to me.
But the funny thing to me is you become a power couple because you are seen with another couple. Doubt Rita Wilson has that much power in Hollywood. or maybe it came by association with her husband.
and why is it even news.
Because Kaiser is a self-confessed Brangeloonie, LOL.
She’ll be on Aniston whenever possible!
hahahaahahaha, SO TRUE!
possibly because both of their fathers are Greek?
(Yeah I watched her Who Do You Think You Are? Her dad sounded fascinating)
I wonder if he had the balls to say this to his face 😉
It’s like, once you’ve seen Tom Hanks win the Golden Globes, the Oscars, you’ve seen his wife, what kind of car he drives, when you watch his movies, you can’t fully get really lost in them. I watched the movie Cast Away (2000). It’s a perfectly fine movie. But you can never fully believe that movie. How can we believe this man is being cast away? We know it’s Tom Hanks and we know the color of his couch in his house in L.A. because we saw a picture of it in People magazine. His celebrity has corrupted his art form.”
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0857620/bio#quotes
It’s funny that Justin criticized Tom Hanks for being “corrupted,” or too big of a “celebrity,” and not an “artist.” Yet, years later, here they are doing “super power-couple” (possible PR?) dates together. What a hypocrite poseur.
This guy sounds like a dirtbag–from the way he lied to his long-time girlfriend to get with Aniston–to jumping on Aniston’s PR train with both feet. Too bad their last movie tanked so badly. And, he even break-danced on Ellen to promote it! 😉 Yep, cheating and social-climbing has taken him real far.
That was terrible of him to say and now he is eating his words. We all know where Tom was in his career at 40 and this jackass doesn’t come close to having that kind of a career.
How long before his comment gets scrubbed from the internet?
aniston has been friends with hanks and rita for years now it seems.
there are old pic of her going to a party at their house,

another article of him talking about her
http://www.hollyscoop.com/jennifer-aniston/tom-hanks-wishes-jennifer-aniston-happy-birthday.html
Wow, Tom has aged….not seeing the super power couple label.
am actually surprised about some of the people she friends with.
i remember seeing an article about paul mccartney and his wife leaving aniston’s house after lunch.
very odd combination lol
and according to lainey aniston and paltrow are now apparently even friends
thats the thing about hollywood u never can predict who and who would be friends
In order to be a power couple in Hollywood I would think both parties of the couple have to be powerful. So now Justin is a power player in Hollywood. He is the “it” guy for major motion pictures. I also saw on another gossip site that named Stacy Keibler and George Clooney as a Hollywood power couple – not. I wonder what is the criteria for becoming a power couple?
I think the media needs so bad for there to be another IT couple. But the thing is there are only a few REAL IT couples. And try as the media does to elevate a couple to that status it is not sticking. YOU either have IT together or you DON’T.
Tom is only one out of the four that has IT.. and it was earned. Didn’t come because he was seen having dinner with someone or had his picture taken with them.
but maybe the criteria has been lowered now for POWER COUPLES.
Agreed! Ooooh, let’s make our own list of power couples. Both have to possess power in Hollywood as individuals; enough power to wield some influence and let’s stick with the living….(no Tracy and Hepburn):
Pitt and Jolie
…i like this game.
how about RDJ and his wife Susan.
she’s produced/is a producer on many of his recent films, and others without him.
?? I can’t think of anyone else but Pitt and Jolie. Jay-Z/Beyonce, Gisele/ Tom Brady, but they’re not in the film industry.
Jennifer and Rita almost looks like they could be related. Same hair style, cousins maybe.
i hope that this was a business meeting – otherwise i am disappointed in rita and tom. they’re slumming by hanging out with aniston and her man toy.
climber justin must have loved this.
another perk of dating jennifer aniston. heidi could have never gotten him a dinner date with tom hanks.
you work it, justin.
HA!
Super power couple. LOOOOOOOOOOOL
Why is Tom Hanks friends with this D-List Couple? I know that Aniston loves to be friends with them thats her way to stay relevant and get jobs.
i always loved Tom Hanks but he realy lost with this friendship for me. His last movie was lame! Anistons bad influence could be the reason for it hahaha she has bad moviekarma LOL
I’d imagine that Aniston and Smilin’ Bob Enzyte were shocked at the turnout for Wanderlust. Because everyone wants to see those two on screen.
why are some people acting like theroux didnt know some alist people before he met aniston???
this is a man that is close friends with ben stiller,philip seymour hoffman and Sam Rockwell.
they might no be alist in terms of tab covers like aniston
but in terms of talent and the industry they are bigger than her.
he doesnt need her to meet people, he works in the indusrty for years and seems to know some people
I know, a lot of people act like this guy came out of nowhere, but that’s not really the case. He wasn’t tabloid famous like he is now, but that’s hardly a barometer to measure someone’s actual status in the industry.
His status isn’t as high as some would claim either. His acting career hit it’s peak around SATC, Charlie’s Angels and SFU and since then it’s been on decline. Quite honestly I think that hooking up with Aniston has hurt his chances at getting work as a character actor ESPECIALLY if things don’t end well and her fan base goes on the attack.
He has screenwriting credits sure but screenwriters in general are considered low men on the studio assembly line and can be dismissed at the will of all the other egos in the room.
he doesnt want to be an alist actor either
he has always said in interview over he years that he pefers writing to acting, and that it gives him more satisfaction than acting.
according to him acting pays the bill that allows him to have time to write
he said the same thing recently in an interview
He may prefer writing sure but screenwriting in Hollywood is mostly about kissing ass and pleasing the people with power(studio heads, A-list actors) so they don’t fire you and re-work the script.
Because you’ve worked in the industry and know this?
@Betty one doesn’t have to work in the industry to know that very basic fact about Hollywood. Read any ‘industry’ non gossip source about the film industry. Studios and Upper echelon stars are constantly asking for re-writes the majority of films don’t have one or two writers but dozens if not scores the only people who (usually)get credited are the ones who come up with the idea and the ones who write the final draft. There are very few screenwriters who have any real power in the industry Aaron Sorkin comes to mind but that’s about it. Sadly writers are peons in Hollywood its part of what has eroded the quality of films over the last few years. Very few new ideas mostly reworking of old scripts to make the suits happy.
So, you don’t work in the industry and you’re working on assumptions then. Thank you for the response.
Uh…probably because none of those people are A-list. Not even Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman. He’s a great actor, but hardly A-list. Ben Stiller USED to be A-list, but now it’s more like B+ list. And Sam Rockwell, another good actor, but he’s NEVER has been A-list. He’s B list on his best days. What’s really funny is that Sam Rockwell is good friends with Brad and has been since the mid-90s. Aniston claims she’d known Theroux for a while before she stole him from his girlfriend and since Bivens is good friends with Laura Dern and Pitt and Aniston were friends with both Dern and Ben Stiller, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Brad knew or knew of Theroux as well. When he heard that Aniston had stolen Theroux from his long-time girlfriend, pulled the old “I like whatever, you like – until you move in with me and make it official” switcheroo I bet Pitt laughed his ass off. He knows how Jenny rolls better than anyone.
pls this isnt about the triangle
some of us dont care about it
why bring brad pitt into this???
Mmmm Aniston would. Riticize the uncoolness and missing sensitivity chips when related to her, but can happily be friends with not only Laura Dern or CCox but also,with Hanks and Wilson who got together due to blatant adultery???? Not that noone cared at the moment but seems a bit hypocrite due to the pedestal where she put herself after the divorce.
With friends like Chelsea handler, it’s a bad idea to make your wedding party fly anywhere for your ceremony. Unless she already has a coke connection in Greece.
Rita’s outfit in the last picture, plus the straight hair, reminds me of one of Jen’s recent outfits.
Rita and Jennifer have that Greek connection if I remember corectly and have been friends for years.
According to other sites, they were at a party together and decided to go have dinner. Eh, who knows. LOL at the power couple stuff. Please.
As usual, every A-lister Aniston knows has a connection to her time with Brad Pitt. Aniston has been friends with Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks since Brad Pitt introduced her to them way back in the late 1990s. She’s dined at there house a number of times since Pitt dumped her. If she took her employee along on a “double date” then it’s probably because she’s hitting up Hanks in an effort to jump-start both of their careers – meaning her’s and the employee. Aniston is about as useful to Hanks’ career as boobs on a boar hog. You have to admit that nobody looks exactly thrilled with the way dinner went and since Hanks realized that Aniston set them up for a photo op he’s probably doubly pissed off.
yeah right lol
u just had to drag brad pitt into this lol
i have never seen that story anywhere.
anyways even if it true, is she supposed to stop being friends with them cos she met them through her ex???
cos i dont get this…..
isnt aniston supposed to not have any friends??? she is damned when she has friends like handler and now cos she is friends with tom hanks and his wife : wow
So true.
Yeah, so how come we’ve never seen Pitt out for dinner or invited for a party at Hank’s? If they’re such good friends.
There are people who is “friend” of everyone …. I think Jennifer is one of those she barely knew Chelsea Handler and already were “best friends” for life, traveling together she should be a very sociable person who likes to party. Like Gwyneth Paltrow who is friends with everybody, everybody knows … kkkkk … even the people hating it, has great friendships.
LOL 😆
I know you’re probably gonna get flamed but I thought ur post was epic! Haha.
Justin had a role in John Adams, which was produced by Tom Hanks.
Guess that’s where the connection comes from.
Power couple is a cliché the tabloids love to use that is rather meaningless. Both couples are successful in a tough industry and that is very nice for them.
F Them! She is starting to look like a duck too!
Oh pulease! You people are so ridiculous in your irrational dislike of Aniston. Get a grip! Curse on her for having the gall to marry Pitt.
beards are the in-thing now?
goodness hank, Y U H8 DA SEXY?
everyone’s got beards now. well, almost everyone.
maybe it’s the winter? i hope these h-wood guys lose the beards come summer.
Am I seeing things, or in the third picture does it look like Aniston has done something unnatural to her lips?
I dont know that shes done anything, but, she has this awful habit of making this really ugly duck face. NOT attractive. Duck, duck, duck face. Really fugly. Plus, with the ridiculous fedora. Ugh.
Maybe they were comparing “overlapping relationships” that they have in common.
Replying to mystified,
I know, right? She’s giving off a strong Alexis Bellino Beverly Hills Housewife vibe in that picture.
Huvane works hard for his money.
The thought of these four narcissists having a conversation is pretty funny. First Chelsea Handler, now Rita Wilson. Aniston feels comfortable with catty bitches.
So Rita is called Leona (as in Helmsley) for her attitude and shopaholic ways in the shops ? blindgossip hints so.
I always had the impression that Rita Wilson is like Jerry Seinfeld’s wife Jessica …. kind of bitch ….
Yeah, can you imagine what is going on in Justin’s mind? Yesterday he was nobody. Some c-list supporting actor. And now he is dining with Tom Hanks. He is talking and joking with Tom like they are equal… No wonder he dumped his girlfriend right after Aniston put her eye on him. Who wouldn’t.
I still laugh how he was “promoting” that Wanderlast movie and since he is Jennifer Anistion’s boyfriend so they arranged him interview with Ellen and somebody else. And he was jumping out of his as, doing all those parodies on Oscar movies. Like he is some legit and adored movie star.
It’s been a year since Aniston presented him as her boyfriend and he doesn’t have ANY lined up movie on IMDB. He can’t even find some small supporting role somewhere. It’s really embarrassing. Because more and more he looks like some poor ordinary person who was suddenly allowed to walk and talk with rich royals because some lonely royal lady put her eye on him.
He is nothing more then her personal toy. He lives in her house, she probably pays everywhere they go. Like they go every second day to some expensive rich restaurant and obviously he won’t have money to pay for it every time. Because he was some c-list supporting actor. And they don’t get enough money to live rich life. Or they travel somewhere to Paris. And fly first class. And stay in 5 star hotel. And then go to expensive restaurant in Paris. His supporting actor money are not enough for that kind of lifestyle.
For woman it’s kind of O’k. Every poor girl dreams to meet rich prince. But it must be really embarrassing for men.
…you dont know Ms. Aniston that well dearie. Ms. Aniston is nowhere near interesting enough to go to Paris…….or ANYWHERE interesting….except, of course,…………Cabo. Pfft.
Haha was thinking the same thing aniston in Paris puleeze.
I thought they were in Paris a while back.. or maybe it was London.
oh well..
they’re no super power couple-but two extra try hards. she has been trying to make this a list movie star thing happen since forever. and he’s basically a nobody. a hipster who now sold out in hopes of making it big-only thing hipster has always been lame and for posers and yes i know he had a couple of forgettable roles and some small hand in a bad movie script-omg how dare i forget! i duly apologize to everyone who has been claiming he is “sexy” with that unproportional body? mascara? terrible hair piece? ok, i’m more than done
omg, this!! LOL
I think it’s his sell out that bugs me he seemed so anti hollywood & now he is hollywood. makes me feel bad for his longtime ex-gf who must be thinking who the bleep did I live with all those years.
Oh Please. He was in his 20s when he said a majority of those quotes. Especially since he went and did Charlie’s Angels,did a disney flick, and has writing credits for some major mainstream Hwood productions. Your indignation is late and only really coming up because he’s with Aniston.
LORD.
Yes, apparently only Angelina Jolie is allowed to go from “rebel who doesn’t give an eff” to “mainstream Hollywood”. She probably invented it, just like she did adoption.
Justin and Jennifer has more in common, do not because know why some people think him as “different” he is a friend of all these comedians who worked with Jennifer Paul Rud, Adan Sandler, Ben Stiller …. they have the same friends in common, I think Jennifer is really helping his career, because once they started dating he signed with the same agency CAA, and like it or not is easier to get work when you belonging to an big agency. And this group of actors comedians has a lot work , the films are cheap and even if these actors have always failed projects still have many films a year look at Adan Sandler as bad as his movies, the people paid to watch crap. They are the ones who make movies (every year a lot of junk). And he can do very well at that. If this is for interest dating Aniston …. I do not know … I think if you have a girlfriend and friends willing to help you professionally and financially, nobody will say no.
Rita Wilson is famous for being an incredibly nasty person. A total bitch. Weird, right?
But Aniston is known for being a really great person if you know her personally so I’m not surprised that Hanks (and Paul McCartney) are friends with her. She is nutty & awful w/ men but aside from that she’s supposed to be an unusually cool person.
My “Super Power Couple” friends name suggestion:
Rin Tin Ton
You know the problem with all this rhetoric is that it just doesn’t jive. He’s not a JLO back-up dancer or a federline. This guy didn’t need any help doing work in hollywood, seems to have PLENTY of connections in the business,and is respected. All this has done is increased his tabloid profile. And well – GREAT! He deserves it.
And he’s definitely not insulting Hanks in that quote – he’s talking about the celebrity corrupting the art form, which all these movie stars face. And given he ended up working for one of Tom’s productions, I’m thinking Tom doesn’t care.
