Biography
Jennifer Aniston was born in Sherman Oaks, California on February 11, 1969. She is the daughter of Greek-American actor John Aniston and actress Nancy Dow. She spent most of her childhood in Greece with her family, but then moved to New York City. In 1989, Aniston moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue an acting career.

The votes are in! Tulisa has been named the Sexiest Woman in the World 2012 by readers of FHM magazine in the 18th year of the annual contest, snatching the title from Cheryl Cole’s and Rihanna’s grasp. Cheryl had to settle for second, and Rihanna took third for the second year in a row.

First off, just who the heck is Tulisa? In case you haven’t been paying attention because you were waiting on Jessica Simpson’s baby to arrive, the 23-year-old British hottie, born Tulisa Contostavlos, is a judge on the “X Factor UK”. More importantly, yes, the former N Dubz singer does have a sex tape controversy of an act with a previous boyfriend. (She now dates 21-year-old actor Jack O’Connell.)
John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston may have split three years ago, but according to the rumor mill he’s giving her the ultimate breakup gift: a hit single.

Remember when his song, “Your Body Is A Wonderland” was supposedly inspired by his ex Jennifer Love Hewitt? He nixed that on "VH1 Storytellers," saying he wrote it about his first girlfriend when he was 14.

Well his new song “Shadow Days” off his ‘Born and Raised’ album may be about another famous ex—Jennifer Aniston.

With all the Brangelina wedding hype hitting the press lately, it’s easy to lose track of the ex that Brad left behind.

We didn’t forget you Jennifer. We’ll hype your big day too! (Even if it’s far less interesting and unconfirmed)

Jennifer Aniston just jetted off to Europe with her boyfriend Justin Theroux. The couple has reportedly been scoping out Elouda Beach for a possible spot for their “I do's.”
Jennifer Aniston says that her boyfriend Justin Theroux is her “protector”, which makes him sound like he’s a police trained German Shepherd.

Aniston opened up to Marie Claire Australia about her relationship, something she rarely does!

“He’s a good protector, for sure,” she says of Theroux, “He’s just a good human being, and so funny.”

True, that guy was hysterical in “Wanderlust.”
Role of a lifetime.

Jennifer Aniston has long played the quirky girl next door. I don’t want to say it hasn’t worked out well for her, but I’ll let ‘Just Go with It’ speak for itself.

‘Just what with who?’ Exactly.

But anyway, she stepped out of her comfort zone in Horrible Bosses, when she played a sex-obsessed dentist. And now, Aniston is set to take on another out of the ordinary role: prostitute.
When you look like Jennifer Aniston, who cares how old you are?

Jennifer's been thoroughly enjoying her bi-coastal life with boyfriend Justin Theroux, calling it “joyful and peaceful.” But the 43 year-old admits lately, she's been reminded of her age.

“You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are twentysomething, or the new crop of actresses and think, 'Aren't we kind of the same age?' You
It pays to date Jennifer Aniston.

Justin Theroux must be a damn good boyfriend, because Jennifer Aniston reportedly spent $500,000 on gifts for him.

The actress, who I feel compelled to tell you is worth around $120 million, has bought Justin several over-the-top presents since they started dating last year.

Some of those gifts include: a $12,000 leather jacket (once owned by James Dean!), a $450,000 Glenn Ligon painting, and two motorcycles
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are reportedly telling friends they’re ready to start a family, and it’s been at least a month since the last baby bump rumors, so we’re kind of overdue.

According to Life & Style, Hollywood knows that Aniston is hiding a suspicious-looking bump, and witnesses say Jennifer, who usually loves her booze, avoided alcohol during all the Oscar festivities.
Who do you think of when you hear the word, “comedy?” Wait, let’s say it at the same time…1, 2, 3… Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston! They are definitely the funniest women in Hollywood. DUH.

They are so much funnier than Sofia Vergara, Kristen Wiig and the entire cast of “Bridesmaids” combined. Man, those girls are…Okay I can’t keep up this charade, but for whatever reasons, Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz are going head-to-head as the Best Comedy Actress in a movie category at the Second Annual Comedy Awards.
Well, consider my feelings hurt.

We've been trying to get Jennifer Aniston married and pregnant for years now. I mean, we've done everything but pin her down and put a Vera Wang wedding veil on her face.

The actress says it's “very narrow-minded” for people to assume that she's unhappy without having a baby to take care of.
