Here are some new photos of Jennifer Aniston in LA, where she was filming scenes for her small indie film (and Oscar hopeful!!) Cake. She was also spotted leaving the LA set with Justin Theroux, so just FYI: they’re still making it work. I guess he’s finished filming his HBO series in New York for now? I think he’s been in LA for about a month with Jennifer, so it’s nice that they’re getting some time together after spending much of January and February apart.
As we’ve already said, Jennifer is playing a character who is dealing with chronic pain. She’s supposed to look sort of rundown and “uglied up,” which is a break from Aniston’s usual roles where she always gets to look cute and wear wedges and scarves. But here’s my question: is Jennifer wearing padding to make the character look heavier? I think she is. Either that of we need to start the millionth round of baby bump rumors. In the photos where Jennifer is (presumably) out of costume with Justin, she looks basically the same as always (the clothes are just very baggy). But in costume, filming, she looks heavier. I bet she’s wearing padding.
Several days ago, Radar claimed that Justin Theroux was getting super-involved with Jennifer’s money management. Ruh-roh!
“Justin knows exactly how much money Jennifer has right now, and he’s actively trying to help her double it, and turn her into a shrewder businesswoman,” an insider told Radar.
This is likely the ultimate precursor to a marriage between the pair, who have said they’re planning to tie the knot at some point. According to the insider, Aniston’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, wanted as little as possible to do with Jen’s business life “because he was always afraid that if he gave her bad advice, he would be blamed for it. “ However, that’s not the case with her current beau.
“Justin is regularly pitching ideas for how Jen can expand her business empire,” the source told Radar. “They’re working on projects that they can collaborate on and which can make them both a lot of money.”
Known for her Aveeno and Smartwater endorsement deals, the source said Theroux is pushing to increase her already substantial fortune, and she’s on board with the plan.
“That’s Justin’s goal, and Jen is ‘letting him’ get ambitious about this.”
Love and money are usually a toxic mix. And to give Jennifer some credit, with or without Justin, she’s always been good with her money and good at making smart business decisions. She’s richer than most A-list women in Hollywood. Which is why Justin needs to shut his pretty mouth, take off his shirt and bring his sugar mama another margarita. “Don’t worry your pretty head over it,” Jennifer whispered to Justin as she chucked a Rolex at him. “Mama will take care of you no matter what.”

So THAT’s where my 10 year old son’s favorite white T-shirt ended up!
I was sure we lost it forever to the dryer gremlins (pesky little things)… but glad to see it ended up in Theroux’s dryer.
At least it’s getting put to use.
ha ha, it’s ridiculous.
Beyond ridiculous. Not just the thinness, or the shortness or the distressed-ness, but that wee little pocket, too, wtf.
@Esmom
It’s just that his clothes are so tight. I mean, even if I were as skinny as Justin, I wouldn’t want to move one way, and have to worry if my stomach or butt crack was showing…..
And I wish skinny jeans would die a horrible death.
Wee Little Pocket Justin, sounds like his action figure (motorcycle not included).
that thing is TINY!
ETA: lmao at “wee little pocket”
maybe he keeps his BALLS in there.
ha, those are some itty bitty balls
It’s Simon Cowell’s little brother.
I like Justin but damn I can’t take the skinny jeans. He must be walking around with a 24 hour a day erection due to his balls being squeezed so tight by those jeans.
Come on @doofus, everyone knows he keeps his BALLS in Jen’s purse.
I made this forever ago, but I’ve been too busy ballin’ to post. (SFW)

Tom Ford BALLS????
ha ha mimi, she doesn’t seem to like your balls.
@JPT – Perfect! Tom Ford Balls.
So funny!
mimi, that’s awesome!
Yes..all my Ballers are here.
Mimif-that is AMAZING! LOL
And so are the BALL Busters, TOK. 🙁
She is not being “uglied up”, this is how she just naturally looks without makeup, good hair, & photoshop. This is her natural face, there is no makeup involved to make her plain like her fans are claiming.
You would not look twice at her if you saw her walking down the street.
She is boring, but harmless. I find him totally unattractive.
Is Justin wearing a band on his left hand~third finger? Maybe i am hallucinating. He has a toned physique, so I don’t mind the tight clothes. Jen looks frightening. Yikes.
Yes, she’s a hideous creature, unworthy of a career or a boyfriend or anything.
Also, balls.
Yep…unbelievaBALLS.
How do you get that from this comment?
People are allowed to think she is plain and amp; average. Especially when her pr team shoves down our throats how she is the most beautiful woman to ever live and no one can compare!
The fact is that without all the make up, she is average looking and nothing special.
@gie – Especially when her pr team shoves down our throats how she is the most beautiful woman to ever live and no one can compare!
——————————————————————————-
Exactly. Here is a woman who is obsessed with her looks, who gets her PR people to buy her awards as the ‘most beautiful creature who ever existed’, but you don’t expect people to comment about the fact that when all of the smoke and mirrors are taken away, all you see is a very average looking woman. Which I have no problem with it’s just (as I said before) her whole raison d’etre is about convincing people about how stunning she is.
Well I don’t find her that attractive but at least she’s got Justiin by the BALLS.
I hope that makes those ball busters happy.
@Gie exactly!
And to think esmom, cecilia and their likes always attack the jolie pitt fans of the same thing! Hyprocrisy at its fullest. They also try to save face with the Balls thing how ridiculous!
gie, You might think this is an innocuous comment and of course people are entitled to their opinions, but come on. Harping on Jen’s “plain” looks and claiming she’s trying to shove her non-existent beauty down our throats has become code for how awful she is, hence my throwing out some balls to take the edge off. Peace.
Ridicolous Balls, yep some balls can be ridiculous.
YOU ANISTANS!!!! OVER HERE WITH THE BALLS THIS BALLS THAT!!! THE HYPOCRISY AND DELUSION IS ASTOUNDING!!! YOU ARE NOT FOOLING ME!!!! WHY DON”T YOU EVER WRITE BALLS ON THE ANISTON POSTS WHY ONLY ON THE JOLIE-PITT POSTS?!?!?!?!?
Oh wait.
You actually DO do that on the Aniston posts…my bad..I mean….I was just kidding….
Oh, BALLS 🙁
Oh dear balls.. If I put balls here and balls there with the Jolie-Pitts then what does it all mean?!? Don’t you know BALLS can’t fit in triangles?!?
Trianguballs?
I like where you’re going with this mimi but will they be bouncy balls? Or just balls that poke you in the eye?
Or poke you in the (wait for it) balls?! 😳
T his is really ridiculous, of course she is being uglyed up,that is what movies do. Everyone always is wearing makeup to look how the movie wants them to look. Men, women and children in makeup.
And I do think she is average looking. But the idea that she isn’t wearing makeup for the role is just bizarre.
No joke, when I first saw these photos I thought she was Norman Reedus from The Walking Dead.
The 1 thing Aniston knows if how to stay wealthy. And she surrounds herself with a strong financial team. Business ventures, investing, properties.
Justin absolutely needs to know better.
And love and money is enough to end lots of relationships. Money is a top issue that ends relationships.
I’ve heard a variation of this story at least three different times–that we know of–I’m inclined to think that it’s somewhat true. Maybe Justin’s one of those guys who thinks he knows how to spend money, period–and is always trying to get Jennifer to invest in something stupid. Like a hipster keychain store.
I don’t think that weight is prosthetic. I saw an interview of her in Popsugar promoting Aveeno and her face was bloated just like in that set pics. Anyway, I don’t think she needs his advice when it comes to financial decisions. She’s doing just great – endorsement and investment wise.
she def looks padded…and it looks like they also maybe added prosthetics to her face to make it look chubbier?…along with the scars, I mean. her jawline looks more defined in the “not-on-set” pics.
I saw a promo for The Leftovers the other day and it looks kinda creepy and good.
re: the business advice…not sure she needs it…she’s parlayed an OK rom-com career into several endorsements and I really don’t think she’s hurting for money. seems like she’s shrewd enough already. of course, this IS Radar, and aren’t they just Star Mag’s online version, essentially?…
Maybe some people get all puffy from the pain meds/steroids that they take for chronic pain…and that’s why her face is all puffy.
I’m really excited to watch The Leftovers. I’m a fan of HBO programming, the program concept is eerie &interesting and I liked Theroux in Six Feet Under. I hope this show is good.
And once again–Justin is in LA, after he’s finished filming, with Jennifer….not Jennifer (while she’s not filming) in NY with Justin while he’s been filming on and off since last summer. It’s a strange way to be with your fiance, I think.
If I ever get my hands on Justin when he’s in NY I would snacth his balls right out of Jen’s vice grip. He would be dressing like Jay-Z before I’m done with him as oppose to dressing like the fourth Jonas Brother.
It feels good to let those balls breathe and dangle a bit doesn’t it Justin.
The skinny jeans on dudes is just…I just can’t.
I saw a guy in Copley yesterday wearing skinny jeans, an old lady cardigan and what looked like women’s sandals.
He had long hair and I thought he was a middle-aged woman at first..then saw the beard 🙁
TOK, sounds like your garden variety hipster to me (except maybe the sandals, lol). The funny thing is these skinny jeans guys think they are being so edgy when in reality they’re just conforming to a major stereotype.
Me too, Kitten. I can tolerate it on a girl, but a dude? NOOO. Especially if said dude wears big boots to go along with it.
ha ha OKitt, that description is killing me. I’ve been fooled by many a hipster in an old lay cardigan. what is up with the skinny belts? I hate those things
Hmmm…….skinny belts……….they make BALLS look bigger?
haha
BALLS….don’t mind me, I responded in the wrong spot. 🙁
She’s following the Halle Berry route: gotta go ugly (or play a prostitute) for that Oscar nomination. The Oscar folks are so caught up in giving awards out when pretty people play ugly it’s not even funny anymore.
She is just playing her natural self. She is not actually that pretty without make up & photoshop.
You actually need some talent first of all. Ugly does not equal Oscar.
If you notice quite a few Oscar winning actresses didn’t get an oscar until they went ugly; Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman. Halle didn’t go ugly, they just toned down her looks to make her look average but she was still quite attractive in Monster’s Ball. She still had her figure and it just looks like she wasn’t wearing make-up.
Not too many actresses haven’t had to do that recently. Winslet was made to look dowdy for most of “The Reader”, Meryl had to be Thatcher. I personally thought Sandra looked terrible with that hair in “the Blind Side”. Marion was under all that makeup to age her to play Piaf.
I don’t think she needs his help managing her money, she’s done quite fine for all of these years. Seems like just another rumor for Radar.
Agreed, I thought the whole story read like BS.
So. Anyone who’s not in full on glamour drag is uglified?
I don’t believe that Justin is trying to manage her money, either.
Why the shade towards him?
He’s done okay for himself behind the scenes writing/producing wise. .he doesn’t need her money or a sugar mama.
I doubt this story is true but he’s not exactly new the scene, the man knows his way around Hollywood, just not in front of the camera (not a bad thing).
/I wish he dressed his age and dropped the hipster routine
I think Justin is a good actor, and an okay writer/producer/director. For all of his Hollywood friendships, with talented and important people–he sure hasn’t had any of that. I mean, it’s not like Jennifer hooked up with someone who was a powerful or talented writer/producer/director, who was known more for his acting, than his behind the scenes stuff that he had going on i.e. just wasn’t a celebrity (how many of the average movie goers do you think knows what Harvey Weinstein looks like?)—-he was someone who was known for his good acting in supporting roles, and as the person who ruined Ironman 2 (seriously, I will never get over it, as my nephew LOVES that movie, and I watched it with him a ton of times–it never failed to make me cringe–the script).
I don’t think he needs her money (like he can support himself)–but he got a huge boost in publicity, that up until now, he has done nothing about. I think after Wanderlust came out, he had that Tom Cruise Rockstar movie come out (can’t remember the name) that he wrote, but other than that? He didn’t do anything for two years. And being that he’s doing a tv show, I can safely guess that he didn’t spend those two years writing a script for his next movie, to follow up his directorial debut–that came out seven years ago.
Anyway, if there is any using–I think it’s mutual/understood.
“he was someone who was known for his good acting in supporting roles, and as the person who ruined Ironman 2 (seriously, I will never get over it, as my nephew LOVES that movie, and I watched it with him a ton of times–it never failed to make me cringe–the script).”
I don’t know how he and RDJ remained friends after that one. It might have been a bit better if the final fight scene lasted for more than 5 seconds. They could have done so much more with Rourke’s character. One of the good things I can say about it is that they touched on Tony Stark’s alcoholism a bit. In the comics he was an alcoholic.
I just found the script juvenile–the jokes weren’t good. Justin Hammer’s lines were HORRIBLE.
And ooh–I don’t know how he and RDJ were friends after that one either. I think I would’ve taken it personally, especially since the film didn’t do as good (financially OR critically) because of the script.
Lol, if she is padded indeed to make her heavier for the role, why is she dressed covered in that big long sweater/cardigan, loose shirt and pants. Might as well dressed just tight shirt and pants to show that she is playing a little heavy woman (even fake with fake weight) .
I think she really gained weight. Yeah had small scars on her face, other than it looks her ordinary normal self without eye make up and mascara.
Agreed. It looks like she’s wearing the same top and pants in the picture with Justin that she’s wearing in the top picture on set, just with the sweater. Otherwise, she’s just her normal stumpy self in flat shoes.
“Mama will take care of you no matter what.” LOL
Jennifer already seems rather shrewd when it comes to investing her money. If Justin was so great at it I’d assume that he would be much wealthier by now.
I think we are getting to see what Jennifer looks like when she wakes up every morning…before all the beautifying stuff happens. She’s less than average looking here…down right not even all that average. Is that a scar on her chin running from the corner of her mouth…that’s real or just showing without tons of cover-up on?
She is in character for her movie. The scars, padding & overall blah have been added for affect.
Actually, there is no “blah” added. She is blah all by herself. Her fans are living in a world of delusion, refusing to see this is how she really looks.
And I see no padding. She has been like this over a year.
@ Dee
Balls!
Actually, that should be “BALH” not “blah”. 🙂
Pictures don’t lie, but photoshopping does.
Come into the light and see her in all her glory.
Behold! Aniston pictures above au naturelle! Quelle surprise!
She looks…AMAZING…
Scars have been added too so I assume that there has to be quite a bit of make-up work to make that look realistic and it does, to me.
I’m gonna leave now in case I get hit by flying BALLS!!
@ Dee, who wrote: “Actually, there is no “blah” added. She is blah all by herself. Her fans are living in a world of delusion, refusing to see this is how she really looks.

Agreed.
I dont think anyone wakes up in the morning looking beautiful and gorgeous. Most I think appear average at best. She does clean up well though. I don’t believe this story. She does well enough on her own.
There are actually MANY naturally beautiful people that do wake up Gorgeous.
Well I don’t know about you, but I wake up as fresh as a daisy, in full make up with my hair beautifully tustled. Same with you, I assume.
Jennifer should tell him how to manage money – she is worth 150 million last I checked. She herself might not be intelligent enough to handle money but she sure hires people who do.
I am sorry but there is a bigger chance of Lindsey Lohan to get an Oscar than Jennifer. You need talent above everything and while Jennifer is good in comedy she is crap in dramas.
PS: the leftovers trailer was one of the most boring trailers I have seen. I was going to see it because of Liv Tyler but now I won’t.
Agreed. Justin needs to sit in the front row seat with a pen and paper in hand… to listen to her management team.
Why in the world would she take advice from him? She’s been on her own, taking care of her own finances for years. She’s not broke, so she must be doing something right.
Why do stars insist on wearing big floppy hats in public? It doesn’t shield them or hide their identities. In fact, it draws attention to them. Sorry, pet peeve.
I wonder what Justin would think of the Huvane PR fees Aniston pays for her career over the years. That alone must run in the millions.
And to add, here’s a thought:
Try to imagine where Aniston would be had she NOT spent the money and been represented by Huvane over the last 10 years.
She has been assigned to many film projects that have never seen the light of day or failed to get financing or dropped due to lack of support (stronger film star drops out).
On another website, a blogger broke down the number of pilot projects she has been associated with versus the number of films that are actually produced and the ratio is just astounding.
Yeap, good for her for knowing where to lay her eggs on. Some people bash her and the way Huvane manages her — but their partnership has proven to withstand time and turn out to be benefiting to both of them. Kudos!
Well, that partnership is benefiting Huvane more than Aniston, in my opinion. He has half her fortune. She has a laundry list of films she’s been attached to that have failed to get studio financing, a green light or a big name producer/writer/director on board. She’s had success in ensemble films, but those could’ve been successes with just about anyone else playing her part. She’s never been able to open a film on her name alone. And by Hollywood standards, that’s the definition of A-list.
Right now, she’s filming a movie in LA with a $7 million budget financed by the Chinese. They’ll still need to find a distributor to get it in theaters. The film, Miss You Already, didn’t moved for over a year when her name was attached to it. The entertainment trade press has just announced that the film once again has momentum….with new talent attached (Rachel Weisz joins Toni Collette in the film with Weisz replacing Aniston).
If that’s a mutually beneficially partnership in your eyes, then okay. But I beg to differ.
It looks like she has padding in the boob area and the belly in picture 3 versus picture 4 with Justin. I do not get Justin’s style. Those jeans and shirt look stupid on a 40+ year old man. Well, they’d pretty much look stupid on any man.
Has anyone here read The Leftovers? I loved the premiss of the book but thought the ending was blah. Was it me or did the book end abruptly with no wrap up? No real explanation of how and why it all happened. Kinda like the ending of “The Returned” which just became a tv show.
She’s playing a person with chronic pain? I have chronic, sometimes debilitating back pain, but I have managed to survive and stay off narcotics. That wincing look in the pic I recognize (see also George Clooney!). I’ll skip my current regimen but I will say that things got weird when the pain from my back started generating all over my body. Max dose Relafen (a long acting anti-inflammatory) would just take the edge off my pain; basically, I was constantly cranky or worse. After some crazy workups-I had blood drawn for the Rheumatoid Panel three times!- we stumbled on the diagnosis serendipitously.
[Retired health care provider speak]… The problem with chronic pain is it defies all the rules of acute pain. You can’t treat it as you would acute pain, so sometimes it can be hard to diagnose. Once a chronic pain patient is diagnosed, things can improve based on how knowledgable the chronic pain team is in developing an individualized treatment plan AND how motivated the patient herself is in staying involved in the plan. For example, one of the best non-pharmacological treatments for chronic (or acute) back pain is walking at a moderate pace. That is something a patient has to do every day, and many patients just don’t have the motivation.
So you have the pain itself and all the stigmas around pain treatment (some patients do need narcotics, and they can be prescribed at conservative levels without addiction issues), and the psychological effect of realizing that because a part of your nervous system is forever changed you will always have to accommodate this very debilitating condition-chronic pain. As a result, most chronic pain patients suffer from at least moderate depression.
I’m not sure I would want to watch a drama about someone with chronic pain. It’s a chronic illness that, even if treated, rarely yields a dramatic improvement in terms of the patient’s quality of life. Basically, it is what it is and it’s depressing, both for the patient and the treating practitioners.
Hmmm….she has a lot of people to answer to in this role. Most people don’t have personal experience with being Virginia Woolf or a female serial killer or a crazed ballerina. But there are lots and lots of people, including people in the academy (George Clooney!), that have or know people who have chronic pain. The character and the story have to come off as being realistic, or a lot of people will be angry, frankly.
I think Jen Jen took on more than she realized. Let’s just sit back and see what happens…
” In the photos where Jennifer is (presumably) out of costume with Justin, she looks basically the same as always (the clothes are just very baggy). But in costume, filming, she looks heavier. I bet she’s wearing padding.”
Nope … she’s just wearing layers. Those are the same pants and top she’s wearing in the top picture as she’s wearing in the picture with Justin. She just has the sweater on top of the outfit. This is just how she looks in flat shoes … kind of ‘stumpy.’ I first noticed it when she and Justin went to Hawaii the August after they got together.
