There is quite a few obvious reasons why half the world is in love with Jennifer Aniston, regardless of what John Mayer may think. Besides the fact that she is gorgeous, this girl is one cool chick, and she sets quite an example for us to follow. She takes life in stride and doesn’t seem to sweat the small, or the not so small stuff, and this all just makes her so damn likable. Here she is looking hot on the set of her latest film, The Baster, and it’s kind of cute how she is spotted carrying a copy of Preview Magazine with a picture of herself on the cover. Guess between takes Jennifer really DOES stop to see what we are thinking about her. And just recently Jennifer proved just how likable and cool she really is, as she was honoured with the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film at the recent Women in Film Awards. And since her love life has been such a fun topic to discuss, it even cropped up when she was accepting her award. Jennifer, who has had several failed relationships since her divorce from Brad Pitt, most recently with singer John Mayer – mocked her run of bad luck with men when she took to the stage to accept the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film. Host Chelsea Handler jokingly told her: “You have increased the visibility of women in film, and we thank you for that. You’ve recently decreased the visibility of John Mayer, so we thank you for that.” And Jennifer being the cool likable chick that she is, laughed hysterically and ran with it:

“I’m trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in. It’s funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that I have a strange parallel with movies I was doing and my life off screen. First, it was ‘The Good Girl’…which evolved into ‘Rumor Has It’, followed by ‘Derailed’. Then there was ‘The Break-up’. Followed by the lighter side, ‘Friends with Money’. If anyone has a movie called ‘Everlasting Love With an Adult Stable Man’, that would be great! I’m at table six, and my agents are at table 12.”

And cantcha just picture her wowing the crowd with her funny moments? What a girl. Yep, we should all be so lucky to find a director casting for a role in this movie as well. The Women in Film Awards took place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles last Friday. And until her next public mockery of herself, we certainly do hope for this sweet girl that she finds what she is looking for.

Sienna Miller is seen here leaving a bar on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles the other day, wearing one of her usual night out ensembles. This time it was a barely there green sequin mini dress by Swarovski, some snappy strappies and a stylish updo. And though she is hardly in the minority when it comes to dressing on the sexier side in L.A., she certainly has carved quite a name for herself in the sleaze department when it comes to her love life. And the really funny part of it all is that she’s confused about that fact. Despite the fact that she ran a very hot and heavy relationship with a married man and father of four last year, she doesn’t really *get* why the whole world thinks she’s a tramp and a homewrecker. She thinks she’s been “unfairly judged” and that the reaction from the public is a little heinous even. In an interview with Vogue, she said:

“Being the center of a lot of judgment and controversy while not feeling like a hurtful or conroversial person in my essence, I’m trying to understand what it is that makes me that way and what it is that makes people feel that way about me.”

Wouldn’t you have just LOVED to be the Vogue reporter on call that day? Because I have to wonder what it took for that interviewer to refrain themselves from smacking her across the face and shouting, “Well honey, it might be because they think you’re a homewrecking slut.” Maybe Rosetta Millington would be so kind as to give Sienna some insights. That’s the woman who was married to Brothers & Sisters star Balthazar Getty while he was sneaking out for quality topless sun-tanning time with Sienna. The ensuing affair led to someone spray-painting “slut” on the side of Sienna’s house, which just goes to show that Sienna really needs a hit movie soon so she can afford better/any security.

But no matter what you may have read on the side of Sienna’s house, she is really a tender-hearted romantic who never got over her first heartbreak at the hands of nanny-diddler Jude Law. She calls their split “a pivotal moment,” although she really would have rather not shared it with all of England. Or the world. Jude Law is aware of how Sienna feels. She said she talked about him in an interview recently, and he was like, ‘Please stop talking about it,’” she says. That sounds pretty clear. And yet here we are. Still talking about it. That’s why someone invented the phrase ‘get over it’.

Oh yes, we had to know this day was coming. Oh wait, we DID know this day was coming, we just didn’t know exactly when, right? Here is Paris Hilton in Los Angeles California as she treats herself to her standard girls night out that comes after every breakup she’s ever had. And it’s not just you wondering if she has this girls night out on a weekly basis. But now she is using it to celebrate her most recent breakup, that with The Hills hottie Doug Reinhardt. Oh yes, these two were quite the couple for all of the last, what, 4 minutes? No, 6 months actually, but in Paris time that’s like, forever, like seriously a really long time. And no, from the sounds of it this is just one couple that got tired of each other, and it all ended after a massive fight the other night. And you have to know that this was something *big* because even the REPS are coming out and speaking on this one.

“In response to inquiries on whether Paris Hilton has split with Doug Reinhardt, we can confirm this is true. They are no longer together. They remain friends and we ask that you please respect their privacy. Paris will not discuss the relationship further.”

Phew boy, and here I thought they were going to give us the runaround. And what with all of the emotional upheaval and trauma that comes with a breakup after 5 minutes, it is only right that we respect their privacy. And as you can imagine, this is not a story that is going to go away too quickly, because it sounds like Doug was really hung up on her and wants her back. In a devastated plea to get her back, Doug showed up at her house the other night but was refused by her. He tried to get into her gated community, and nobody would let him, and they ended up calling the police. But if you ask anyone that Paris knows, they seem a little relieved. Her friends and family thought he was kind of a jerk and was only using her for her ‘celebrity status’. Oh yes, this story is getting old already. It was just a few weeks ago when she said he was the love of her life and her future husband. *sigh* I wonder who Paris’s next future husband will be.

Unlike Lindsay Lohan’s hair color changes, this is one story out of Hollywood that the world has been waiting to hear. And while many stories in Hollywood aren’t often remembered even moments after the instance, the moments of abuse between Chris Brown and Rihanna have not been, nor will they for some time. And for those that were concerned that Chris Brown was going to get off easy, put those worries to bed for at least a little while, as it looks like his troubles with Rihanna are finally getting managed from a justice perspective. Rihanna has finally received the long awaited subpoena to testify against Chris Brown in the assault case against him.

This was one of those issues back when it first happened that many in the legal world, the D.A.s office included, weren’t sure was going to happen. And there was even some talk of Rihanna ending up with charges if she didn’t testify against Chris. And while we still don’t know if she will or won’t, at least we have some peace that the case against Chris Brown is moving forward. As it stands now, his hearing has been set for June 22, and Rihanna was served in person on Tuesday with a subpoena to appear in court in relation to this “alleged” assault. Rihanna’s lawyer Donald Etra confirmed:

“Rihanna was served at my office by Los Angeles District Attorney investigators. If the preliminary hearing indeed goes forward, she is now legally required to be there, she will be there and will answer all questions truthfully.”

The upcoming hearing is taking place to find out whether there is enough evidence to take Chris – who has pleaded not guilty to felony assault and making criminal threats – to trial. It is expected that she will be cross-examined by Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos. Her testimony is of course the most highly anticipated testimony, as even Brown’s own lawyer says her testimony will make or break the case. Of course what the defense team is hoping to attain from this is that the prosecution will fail to present a case and it will be dismissed on the spot.

So we will see what Rihanna has to say when the time comes. And defense team have been pulling out all the stops to try and keep these charges at bay. They’ve even filed a request to have the hearing postponed, and this too was denied. Gregaros had argued Chris – who is accused of punching, biting and choking Rihanna until she was unconscious in his rented silver Lamborghini – would not be able to get a fair trial due to the pictures allegedly showing Rihanna’s facial injuries which were leaked to a US gossip website. But you know how it is, lawyers will say anything and everything when they get the chance. And men who hit women, will do just about anything to get away with it. I don’t know about you, but I am very excited about seeing what happens come June 22, you?

Jessica Alba is seen here out and about with her daughter Honor Marie and is looking so fabulous just a year after having her baby you almost want to hate her. But the word on the street is that Jessica may not be as innocent as you think. Though she is seen here having a standard mommy and me day with little Honor as they have breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien on Melrose, she’s been acting out in a very public manner recently that has left people saying “Jessica did WHAT?” Yes, it sounds like our little Jessica has recently been caught committing the crime of vandalism of all things, and it has raised more than a few eyebrows. But this was not some common every day spray painting the underpass, no, Jessica’s vandalism of course came from the biggest of hearts. She just wanted to save a few sharks, folks.

That’s right, Jessica’s outrageous act came from her big old heart. The situation occurred in Oklahoma City, where photos have surfaced that appear to show her defacing Oklahoma City property with posters of a great white shark. It’s gotten so heated, that even the police are involved. Police discovered the posters – aimed at raising awareness about the species’ declining numbers – glued to a downtown bridge and elsewhere, including a billboard displaying a United Way advertisement. Police Sgt. Gary Knight said that investigators have not interviewed Alba just yet, and it doesn’t sound like they are about to.

If you are wondering what the plausibility of Jessica even being in Oklahoma City could even be, it’s because she’s currently filming ‘The Killer Inside Me with co-stars Casey Affleck and Kate Hudson. As to what the real story is, hard to say on this one. Of course ‘her people’ aren’t returning anyone’s calls on the matter, so Jessica kind of took it into her own hands and actually released a public statement on the matter.

“I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment, and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.”

Photos that apparently show Alba gluing posters and posing before the defaced billboard were posted to the site of blogger White Mike, but later removed. According to the site, the posters are designed to raise awareness of the dwindling population of great white sharks. An official with the city’s Parks and Recreation Department reported the incident to police Monday after spotting the posters and the photos on the Internet. Alba’s name is redacted from the police report because she has not been arrested or charged with any crime, as it seems all of Oklahoma has officially accepted her apology.

Under Oklahoma law, maliciously defacing property can be a felony punishable by prison time if the value of the damage exceeds $1,000 or more. So, while it appeared to be a big thing, Jessica being charged with vandalism, at the end of the day, the mountain shrunk back down in size as quickly as it came. Which is the believable part of the story. I mean, we ARE talking about Jessica Alba here.

Jennifer Hudson has certainly been under the microscope this year with all of the press that has surrounded her and her family following the double murder that occurred with the Hudson’s earlier this year. And yet despite the fact that all eyes have been on her all year long, Jennifer has still managed to keep her private life private and has even been keeping a few juicy tidbits from her adoring fans. It sounds like Jennifer Hudson is in fact about to be a mommy, as a baby shower that was held quietly in Chicago this past weekend ended up being not so quiet with the cat coming out of the proverbial bag on this one. So Jennifer can add mommy to her resume, and will probably place that as a prize role over her Grammy and Oscar wins as well. One of Jennifer’s longest friends, Felicia Fields confirmed to the Chicago Tribune this weekend that Jennifer is about 7 months pregnant and a shower was held for her with just friends and family to celebrate. 7 months?! Wow, that’s got to be a record for keeping baby a secret in Hollywood, even Jessica Alba couldn’t go that long. Nonetheless, Jennifer is looking radiant as ever, and whether she will have a boy or a girl remains to be seen. Good chum Felicia was keeping that all mum and said most gifts at the shower were neither pink nor blue, but mostly yellow. We do know that Jennifer is engaged to long time beau and Harvard-educated-lawyer-turned-wrestler David Otunga, and surprise surprise, they have also kept mum about her upcoming wedding date. If you are waiting for more Jennifer juice, it shouldn’t be too long now, particularly if she really is at the 7 month mark. No sooner will we announce her pregnancy than we will announce the birth as well. We wish both David and Jennifer many congratulations as they count down the days to their pending arrival, and can’t wait to hear wedding details as soon as they are ready to spill!
