Angelina and Jen share a record - Sept 27 2007
Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have more than Brad Pitt in common - they have scooped the joint title for Most Powerful Actress by the Guinness World Records.

Researchers for the 2008 edition of the book assessed the earnings and publicity surrounding several Hollywood stars during the last year to come up with the ranking.

Angelina, 32, is currently earning rave reviews and talk of an Oscar nomination for her leading role in A Mighty Heart, the tale of kidnapped and murdered US journalist Daniel Pearl.

Her ever-growing family and relationship with Jennifer’s ex-husband Brad, 43, has generated headlines around the world.

Jen’s rocky love life - falling for her co-star in The Break Up, Vince Vaughn, and a rumoured romance with Essex brickie turned model Paul Sculfor - has kept the 38-year-old in the public eye.

This year’s Guinness World Records book also sees Tom Cruise regain his crown as Most Powerful Actor, pushing Johnny Depp off the top spot.

Tom took the title thanks to his earnings from War Of The Worlds and the coverage of his marriage to Katie Holmes and the birth of their daughter Suri.

Samuel L Jackson is named the Highest Grossing Actor at the box office with 75 films taking more than £3.95 billion worldwide.

British Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson take the Highest Average Box-Office Gross Per Movie with £143.5 million each.

Brad’s mum visits Jennifer - June 21 2007
Most people struggle to get on with their in-laws but Jennifer Aniston apparently loves her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s family so much that she’s still hanging out with them.

The Friends actress may have moved on since her split from Brad more than two years ago but she’s still meeting up with his mum, according to People.com.

The website reports that last Sunday, on Father’s Day, Jen got a visit from Brad’s mum Jane who dropped by the star’s Malibu home for a quick chat.

His brother Doug is quoted as saying the family all remain close to Jen: "Jennifer is a friend of Brad’s, why wouldn’t she be a friend of ours?"

It’s not the first visit she’s received from her ex’s family.

While she was filming The Break-Up, with her then boyfriend Vince Vaughn back in 2005, Brad’s mum and sister Julie went to see her in Chicago.

The actress, who’s currently dating British model Paul Sculfor, has previously told Vanity Fair she keeps in regular touch with Brad’s mum.

Jennifer ’wants to adopt child’ - June 14 2007
Jennifer Aniston wants to adopt a child and has moved her British boyfriend into her home, according to US reports.

The former Friends star has been working with the same agency that handled Sheryl Crow’s recent adoption and she has started filling out the paperwork, an adoption agency source told OK! magazine.

Jen, 38, has moved her boyfriend, former Essex construction worker Paul Sculfor, into her new 15 million dollar home in Beverly Hills, the New York Daily News reported.

Biography

Jennifer Joanne Aniston was born on February 11th 1969 in Los Angeles, California to actor parents John and Nancy Dow, although she spent much of her childhood in New York city when her father was working in Soap Opera. In 1987 she attended New York’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she was a member of the drama club. Her drive for success and reputation as an actress was strengthened as she started working in Off-Broadway productions.

Recognised as a talented comedy actress, she began working on the Howard Stern Radio Show in the 80’s and 90’s, before moving to Hollywood and launching a career in television. There were several false starts as shows were cancelled, and her appearance in the horror movie ’Leprechaun’ attracted so much critical derision that she seriously considered giving up acting.

Cue Friends, for which she auditioned in 1994. The producers originally wanted her to audition for the role of Monica Geller, but she managed to persuade them that her talents would be far better used in the role of Rachel Green. She ended up playing the character for ten years, between 1994 and 2004. So successful was the show and so well loved was her character that during the final three seasons she commanded a fee of one million dollars per episode. The critics, once cruel, were now united in praise, and she was nominated five times for an Emmy award including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Since then she has been in several major Hollywood features, although she has not yet made a hit film.

Aniston’s acting talents rest upon an "everygirl" persona. This perhaps explains why the media has always taken an interest in her personal life. She previously dated Adam Duritz and actor Tate Donovan before beginning a long-term relationship with Brad Pitt. They were married in 2000. The pair divorced in spectacular fashion in 2005, with many in the press suspecting infidelity on Pitt’s part and Aniston’s refusal to have children as causes (She has since strongly denied that she doesn’t want children). She has remained tight lipped about her personal life ever since.
