Angelina goes cold on magazine cover
Angelina Jolie is so over all those Jennifer Aniston comparisons. The pair had avoided being pitted against each other for some time – that is, until November’s W magazine hit newsstands. Editors released nine versions of the issue, including one of Jolie as the cover girl and another of Aniston. “Why would I comment on that?” Jolie snapped when asked about it at a Beverly Hills press conference for her upcoming flick Beowulf. “That matters because…” Jolie was less guarded when it came to revealing her Thanksgiving plans with beau Brad Pitt and their four children on Good Morning America Monday. Her fixings this year? “Everything, but I’m not much of a cook, so we’ll see what happens,” she said. “We all chip in, but I…don’t think anybody in my family wants me to handle Thanksgiving dinner.” With her culturally diverse brood, she said it’s almost always a holiday at the Jolie-Pitt house. “We celebrate Moon Festival for my boys, who are from Asia, and Kwanzaa and things like that, so we certainly try to celebrate as many of those as we can and bring in all cultures.”
Jennifer opens up
If Jennifer Aniston could be anyone else, she knows exactly who she’d choose to be. “I would love to be Oprah – just for one day,” the actress tells Harper’s Bazaar in the magazine’s 140th anniversary issue. Aniston and Winfrey have been pals for some time, and last year the talk show host shot down rumors that she was planning a $1 million wedding for the actress and her then-boyfriend, Vince Vaughn. Continuing the line of questioning about Aniston’s fantasy life, she’s asked what she’d do if she worked for the government. “I’d be a spy. A very glamorous spy who plays poker and lives in Monaco,” she says. “And has affairs with Daniel Craig.” Talking more seriously about her life as one of the most recognizable faces in the world, Aniston, 38, recounts once walking 40 blocks in NYC without anyone noticing her. “If you can get away from the paparazzi and they don’t know where you are, you can actually walk, walk, walk,” Aniston says of the city where she is contemplating living again. “I don’t know, I’m just tired of Los Angeles,” she tells the magazine. “In New York, you’re not just in that same car, looking at that same dashboard, driving down the same street.” As for dealing with what both critics and the public think about her, she says she no longer pays attention to it. “I used to care a hell of a lot more about what people said or thought. But that had to change when my life was under a microscope being scrutinized and my personal life was being talked about,” she says. “You have to go, ‘This is not acceptable in any way,’ whether it’s about me personally or in business, success versus failure.” The actress, who is currently filming the comedy He’s Just Not That Into You, also defends her box office record, saying, “I’ve read things that said I wasn’t successful at the box office or that my big hit was The Break-Up. But I said, ‘Wait a minute. There was Along Came Polly, which did really well, and Bruce Almighty was a pretty big movie.’” Still, Aniston expresses surprise at her own massive success on television – and isn’t afraid to poke fun at it. “I don’t think anybody thought Friends would become what it did,” she says. “It’s all good, though. It’s nothing but blessings. But seriously, who actually dances in a fountain?”
Aniston signs on for Traveling
Jennifer Aniston will co-star with Aaron Eckhart in the Universal drama Traveling. According to Variety, Eckhart will play a widower who writes a book about his grief and becomes a self-help guru. When a new woman (Aniston) – a floral designer in a Seattle hotel – enters his life, he realizes he hasn’t put the past behind him. Production is set to begin early next year. It’s been a busy couple of months for Aniston. The Friends alum booked a lead in Management opposite Steve Zahn and joined the ensemble of He’s Just Not That Into You. She also snagged a lead in Marley & Me with Owen Wilson, but amid Wilson’s personal tumult, that project has reportedly been delayed.

Aniston helmed a romantic drama called Room 10, starring Robin Wright Penn and Kris Kristofferson. Spider-Man actress Bryce Dallas Howard will also make her directorial debut with Orchids. The festival runs August 23 – 29.
Celebs show political support through cash
A new database on the Huffington Post shows how much money celebs (and regular folk) have donated to candidates in the 2008 presidential race. Fundrace 2008 reveals Jennifer Aniston and Halle Berry donated $2,300 each to Barack Obama’s campaign (the max donation allowed for the Democratic primary, though supporters are allowed to give $4,600 total for both the primary and general elections). Obama’s other famous supporters include George Clooney, Will Smith, Tyra Banks and Jamie Foxx. Hilary Clinton has received $4,000 from Donald Trump Jr., plus $4,600 from Martha Stewart.
