- Ryder Says Aniston Is A Good Kisser
Winona Ryder is disappointed with the on-screen presentation
of her lesbian kiss with Jennifer Aniston earlier this month.
The 29-year-old Ryder thoroughly enjoyed her same-sex clinch
with Aniston on the TV show Friends, but is upset that viewers
missed out on all of the real passion that took place. She
explains, "When I saw the episode, all you see is hair
and you don't see lips. I was kind of bummed out because we
got a couple of chances to do some pretty nice kisses. She's
a very good kisser."

2001 - Jennifer Aniston Set To Be Cyberbabe
Jennifer Aniston is to star in a brand new sitcom - on the
internet. Jen has signed a deal with American teen website
Voxxy to appear in and produce a 13-part comedy called "Jen
XX". Each episode will be half-an-hour long and will
include an 'interactive' element where the actress chats online
with her adoring fans - three of whom will even get a chance
to meet and star alongside Jennifer on the show, as the winners
of a competition run by Voxxy. Jennifer gushes, "I'm
looking forward to interacting directly with the audience
and getting to say things I can't say on network TV. It'll
provide a platform which cuts through the hype and allows
me to speak honestly with teenagers about anything from self-image
and social politics to family and friends." Hollywood
heavyweight Jennifer agreed to appear in the rather low-profile
project as a favor to the website's co-founder Maxine Lapidus,
who is a close personal friend.

2001 - Aniston Banned From Brad's Set
Lovesick stunner Jennifer Aniston was banned from the set
of husband Brad Pitt's Spy Game, The (2001) in case she distracted
the heart- throb during his scenes. Jen flew to London in
November in response to Brad telling pals he missed her. She
then flew on with him to Budapest, Hungary where filming continued.
But to her amazement, she was barred from the strictly closed
set due to the pressing schedule and need to get things right
first time. Universal spokesman Patrick Scott explains, "She
flew out for a couple of weeks to keep Brad company. Brad's
got a really tight schedule at the moment because he's filming
another film as well. So there's a real pressure to get things
right first time and we're working very long days. Jennifer
was not allowed on set. Absolutely not."

2000 - Hell's Angels Role For Rachel
Jennifer Aniston is set to show a different side to her personality
- when she plays a detective in a new Hollywood drama. Jen

a police cadet who goes undercover to expose drug dealing

Pitt may be right when he claimed she is far more talented

2000 - Jennifer Aniston Loses The Hair
Jennifer Aniston has chopped off her famous long blonde hair
- but the actress is insisting her new hair style must not
take centre stage. Millions of American women have been copying
Jen's hair styles as each premiered on her hit sitcom, "Friends"
(1994). But, after growing her locks long, Aniston stunned
Hollywood by turning up at this weekend's American Cinematheque
awards with short hair. And Aniston is hoping people will
ignore her new crop, saying, "you don't want to be associated
with a hair cut. It is just a stigma I don't want to have."

- Aniston To Sue Over Nude Pics
Jennifer Aniston is to sue a publishing company over a topless
picture printed in Celebrity Skin magazine. The actress just
married to Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt, alleges the photographer
who took the saucy snap climbed over a wall at the back of
her house while she was sunbathing nude. Aniston fears the
shots of her bronzed bust could damage her image. The star's
lawyers are now determined to make the magazines pay. A 17
page submission to a court in Los Angeles says, "The
`stalkerazzi' saw Aniston topless in her backyard wearing
only her panties, climbed her wall, trespassed and took pictures
without her consent." Her lawyers claim the photographs
destroyed her respectable reputation, adding, "She has
suffered shame, hurt, embarrassment and distress."
