Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux were side by side as they returned to their car following dinner in LA yesterday. Jennifer wore a fitted skirt and tank for the date night, which comes after her new SmartWater ads were released last week. Aside from the fresh photos, Jennifer’s been lying low since the February release of Wanderlust . She has been busy with real estate, though, and sold her West Village apartments last month just a year after purchasing them. Instead, she and Justin have moved into a Beverly Hills rental while their Bel Air mansion is undergoing renovations. Jennifer bought the $21 million estate in January and is reportedly spending thousands more on fixtures and furniture. View Slideshow ›

Celebrities and good causes always seem to go together, and last night (May 17) some of Hollywood’s finest converged at the Heal the Bays Bring Back the Beach Fundraiser. “Pretty Woman” actress Julia Roberts showed up at the Santa Monica shindig with her hunky husband Danny Moder. Additionally, “Butterfly Effect” star Amy Smart was in the house, posing for the paparazzi in a gorgeous spring yellow dress. Meanwhile, Ali Larter , Rachelle Lefevre, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus were busy hobnobbing with guests and raising money for the environmental effort.

Jennifer Aniston is still the face of SmartWater. Us Weekly says that this is her “second” year as the face of the Glaceau brand, but I seem to remember her getting the contract… maybe back in 2009? That’s when her ad campaign seemed to have begun as well , which means this is her fourth year as the face of the brand. I seem to remember hearing that Aniston wasn’t just getting a standard payment for her modeling – she also gets stock in the company? Which is smart, especially because Aniston and SmartWater are such a great, compatible “fit” together – people associate her with exercise and gyms and eating healthy, so she works well with a bottled water brand. Anyway, these are the two new print ads. Almost all of them have been done in black-and-white , and the Photoshop quality usually varies to either extreme. There were some memorable ads two years ago where the Photoshop wizards made Aniston’s nose ridiculously upturned , like a snout. She’s usually scantily-clad too. So how do these ads stack up? Eh. The photo where she’s wearing the black t-shirt – that one is okay. I mean, it looks really retouched, but it still looks like HER. But the one with light-colored, half-buttoned blouse? It looks like they morphed her face with someone else. And her lips look kind of crazy in that one too. Last year she also did a commercial for the brand , although I think it was more of a would-be viral video that rarely (if ever) aired on TV. I wonder if she’ll do a commercial this year?

It’s the battle of the bombshells! We all know Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz really bring it when they hit the red carpet. So, of course when the stars arrived at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre for the Hollywood premiere of What to Expect When You’re Expecting, we were mighty impressed.  But while they are both considered sex symbols, the pair have very different looks.  The actresses each opted for sexy dresses but in entirely opposing ways, and it was J-Lo who came top of the style stakes looking like a Grecian goddess in a floor-sweeping blush-coloured gown.  Meanwhile Cameron went for a more overtly sexy look in a semi-sheer black knitted dress.  We guess being outshone is what to expect when you pose on the same red carpet as J-Lo!

Jennifer Aniston is always good for a real estate p0rn story, especially over the past few years when it seems like Aniston has really been getting into the real estate market in a big way. In the past year she bought two Manhattan condos worth millions, with the idea that she would make the condos into one huge super-apartment, only to end up selling the properties at a $500,000 loss . She also sold her one-bedroom Beverly Hills home – which she had spent YEARS renovating – last year. She sold that property at a massive profit. Anyway, when Justin Theroux and Jennifer decided to move back to LA, Aniston laid down some serious cash for a Bel Air mansion, which, as you can guess, is already being extensively renovated, which will probably add several million more to the cost . So what can Jen and Justin do while their new love nest is being fixed up into Aniston’s idealized shag-pad? Well, they could continue to shell out $20,000 a month in hotel bills … or they could just rent yet another house. Because why not? The Mail has photos of JustJen’s latest (temporary) real estate. Nice digs! As a place to live while your lavish estate is renovated, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux aren’t doing too badly. The loved up couple have just rented a gorgeous Beverly Hills home at a cost of $40,000 a month until their main house is ready. Their new mansion being an 8,500 square foot, $21 million palatial palace complete with a vineyard and views of the Pacific Ocean. But in the meantime they will have to settle for five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms in a somewhat smaller space. The Hal Levitt-designed exteriors have been masterfully updated as part of a meticulous renovation. This home also has the modern convenience of RTI Smart Home technology and state of the art home theater/entertainment system blends with the highest quality craftsmanship and materials. The Patrick Blanc living wall entices as you walk across the honed basalt entry, suspended above cascading water features, to approach the impressive hand-carved front door. The interiors and exteriors offer the best of California living: ocean and city views, entertainer-friendly layout with Lynx outdoor cooking area, zero-edge pool with 18 feet deep lounge area and spa. Rooms include stone-lined temperature controlled wine cellar; bar with custom cabinetry, walnut shelving and LED glass lighting installation. The Bulthaup kitchen has stunning Monobloc stainless steel island, floating appliance cubes, warm bronze and striped walnut cabinetry, and appliances by Miele and Leibherr. The master suite has custom walnut closets and is complete with his and hers baths featuring book-matched Calcutta Borghini marble, Ann Sacks tiles, heated flooring, steam shower, and private outdoor shower. [From The Mail ] That all sounds really amazing, doesn’t it? But can you even fathom RENTING a place for $40,000 a month? You can’t even rationalize that by saying, “Oh, it’s an investment.” It’s not an investment. You’re just renting. You’re just blowing through tens of thousands of dollars a month because your multi-million-dollar villa is facing extreme renovations. I mean… it’s her money, she can do whatever she wants with it and God bless. But it does seem very excessive. Photos courtesy of Fame/Flynet.

Kristen Stewart is the cover girl for the June issue of American Elle – she was also the cover girl for the June issue of Elle UK too , for what it’s worth. There are two distinctly different photo shoots and interviews, so just pretend for a second that Team K-Stew hasn’t completely taken over Elle and all of the international editions of the publication. The photo shoot seems very Victor/Victoria – Kristen is doing some menswear/drag-king-inspired looks, and then she goes sort of gothy-glam for other shots. I’m reminded of how beautiful she is, and how she has the figure to be an excellent “clothes hanger” for designers. Unfortunately, Kristen often seems kind of dead-eyed in pictorials, and her posture is still atrocious. As for the new Elle interview, well… God bless the Twihards. They’ve already transcribed the whole thing from the early scans – you can read the full piece here . Here are some highlights… the whole thing takes place in a bookstore (just an FYI for why the conversation is so book-intensive): She loves William Styron’s Lie Down in Darkness : “Have you ever read Lie Down in Darkness?” Stewart asks excitedly. “I want to play Peyton more than anything I can possibly taste or touch in my life. I want to play her so bad. Peyton is bright, beautiful, suicidal narcissist, preyed upon by her father. But Stewart, 22, sees it as more complicated than that. “Oh, dude, she f–kin’ loves it! She’s in love with him. I mean, I think she’s in love with him. It’s not his fault. They’re the most f–ked-up family!… There’s a script adaptation I’ve read and it’s good,” she says, continuing down the aisle. “Two people vying for the part of the father are Daniel Day-Lewis and Colin Firth. Daniel would be perfect.” Stewart stops suddenly and smiles, picking up an autobiography. “Let’s not be pretentious – let’s buy Snooki.” (She doesn’t.) She calls Robert Pattinson her “f–king boyfriend”: “Oooh, Martin Amis.” Stewart plucks Money from the shelf. “My copy just got soaked – my toilet overflowed.” And then, “Oh my God, my f–king boyfriend just did this movie,” she says, referring to Robert Pattinson while pulling down a copy of Bel Ami. “The French, they’re up in arms that he did it.” The brown contact lenses she wears to play Bella: “It’s like I always have sunglasses on – soulless, googly-eyed sunglasses. You can’t feel your eyeballs. They ruined me.” Working with William Hurt in 2008’s The Yellow Hankerchief: “He was the first guy I ever saw take a script and f–king turn it on its head. He threw us all up into the air,” Stewart says fondly. “It was so cool working with him. He is so beat – he’s like, On the Road. Incredibly intense. Dude!” The book Black Hole: “This f–king store is like kismet!” she says. “I want to do this movie!” The book, about a sexually transmitted plague, “is disgusting, so gross,” Stewart enthuses. “I love the first image” – she turns to a completely black page with a white vagina-shape opening in the center – “a slit. You just grow, like, holes in your body. The imagery is so weird. See” – she flips to another page – “he’s looking at her hand and soon there’s gonna be a little mouth in there. It’s so sexual the desire is so f–king palpable, but it feels so dirty, like [the characters] are so ashamed because they’re diseased, they’re literally getting these holes.” Riding horses and leading the charge in Snow White and the Huntsman: Despite being terrified of horses, Stewart saddled up to lead an army of 250 mounted men charging down a beach in the rain. “I hated it,” she admits of riding. “I didn’t take to the whole mentality of f–king ordering that thing around – ‘Go now!’ You have to be an a–hole, basically. Not to say that horse people are a–holes to their horses. But you have to basically tell that thing who’s boss, and I didn’t want to do that. I was like, ‘No, do your thing. I don’t even want to be up here.’” Child-acting and home-schooling: One role begot the next, and from seventh grade on Stewart was homeschooled, something she regrets, in a way. “Because I didn’t go to f–king school, I feel I would have had a bit something extra if I had,” she says. “Maybe because my life is so perfect, when I see the other side of life, it just seems like, almost like I want…” Stewart struggles for words. “You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can’t wait for something crazy to f–king happen to me. Just life. I want someone to f–k me over! Do you know what I mean?” That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger? “Exactly. It’s one of the reasons I want to act. I love living in different worlds, because a lot of times mine is pretty nice and easy.” She still smokes, and her car is gross: She unlocks a nondescript rental car (she can’t drive her Mini Cooper without being followed by paparazzi), drops the books in back, slides into the driver’s seat, starts the engine and offers up a Camel. Pushing the cigarette-lighter button, she says, laughing, “I went for the high-class rental. This car’s got all the fixin’s!” Scattered on the passenger side floor are a pair of plaid Van sneakers, an empty protein drink, a Coca-Cola can, and a plastic to-go container with a half eaten sandwich covered in mold. A nearly empty Snapple sits in the cup holder, cigarette buds floating in it. She wears a mysterious ring : Stewart taps her hands on the steering wheel, her short nails lacquered in bloodred. On her thumb is a silver spoon ring. “All four of my brothers and my mom and dad have these,” she says. “My mom went and got them for Christmas.” And the gold ring circling her index finger? “Everyone wants to know,” Stewart says slyly. She shakes her head. “Everyone knows already – it’s ridiculous.” As painful as it is to be so publicly pushed and prodded, how does she square wanting to be projected on a 40-foot screen? “Laurence Olivier was asked, ‘Actors, what’s the impulse? Why?’ And he was just like, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, …’ That was his answer. But at the same time, it’s like, ‘Nooo, don’t look at me. Look at some version that I’m going to present to you. Let me control it.” [Elle excerpts via Strictly Robsten’s transcript ] The cursing is getting kind of ridiculous. She wasn’t always this foul-mouthed, it’s something that’s happened over the past year, where every interview is laden with f-bombs. The article also quotes extensively from people who have worked with Kristen over the years, and an unsettling theme arises, although I don’t know if that was Elle’s intention. While Kristen’s directors and costars all had nice things to say about her, there seems to be a theme of Kristen not having much respect for the script of whatever film she’s doing. Everyone says that she constantly going off script, constantly changing lines, constantly trying to make the characters sound more “authentic”. Which… maybe that only bothers me. I understand going off script when it’s something like Twilight, but it really feels like Kristen never bothers to learn her lines for any given film. As for the mysterious ring thing – I anxiously await the Twihards’ explanation. Did her “f–king boyfriend” Rob give her the gold ring? Is it a promise ring? A wedding ring?!?!

These are some new photos of Matt Bomer and his family at Saturday’s Revlon Run-Walk in LA. Bomer has been in a relationship with his partner, Simon Hall, for years and years – that‘s Simon in the navy windbreaker. Doesn’t Simon look a bit like Tim DeKay ? I actually thought it was Tim DeKay for a moment. Anyway, Simon and Matt have three children together, and the little blonde boy is their son Kit. Before Bomer got White Collar, he was an openly gay actor, but for the first few years of White Collar, Bomer seemed to go into “the glass closet,” never speaking about his long-term partner (who is also his publicist) or their family. But! Back in February of this year, Bomer did make a public speech in which he spoke about his partner and their family, and after that, every media outlet was running “Matt Bomer comes out of the closet” stories. Anyway, I just liked these photos. I like that Matt Bomer is participating in a celebrity run-walk for a women’s cancer research and awareness – he’s doing it for the sisters! And I like that Matt’s partner and son came out too, and that no one felt weird about being photographed. How cute is Kit, by the way? That boy is going to grow up to be a heartbreaker.

As expected, The Avengers ruled the weekend at the box office, which was the only natural result for the most-anticipated film of the summer . What wasn’t expected, however, is that this movie would break the record for the all-time domestic opening weekend of all time with an estimated $200.3 three-day take. Considering that the movie’s worldwide total has now reached $641.8 million, the movie’s $220 million budget (plus all of its advertising expenses) has already easily been recouped. Part of this massive success has been due to word-of-mouth by those who saw advanced previews, for director Joss Whedon honed in on his own inner fanboy to make the film that comic junkies truly wanted to see. Whedon knows the hell out of these characters and used all of their respectives strengths, weaknesses, and neuroses to the greatest advantage. It also comes as no surprise that putting so many superheroes into one movie would best the individual efforts of Thor’s abs and Captain America’s waxed nips (plus those of Iron Man, The Hulk, Loki, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury). In this instance, the sum is greater than the whole of the parts because Avengers has not only smashed sales records but also achieved quality: It’s been clear for a while that The Avengers would be a box office success, though few people could have foreseen this opening. The superhero team-up got off to an unprecedented $200.3 million start this weekend, which obliterates the previous all-time weekend record set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last Summer ($169.2 million). While it fell short of setting a new opening day record (that still belongs to Potter ), The Avengers was responsible for new high marks in most other major categories. It was the fastest movie ever to reach $100 million, $150 million, and $200 million, and it set new records for Saturday ($69.7 million) and Sunday ($50.1 million) grosses. It also had the highest per-theater average ever for a nationwide release with $46,057. Through its first three days, The Avengers has already grossed more than Thor ($181 million), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176.6 million) and The Incredible Hulk ($134.8 million). It’s still behind Iron Man and Iron Man 2 ($318.4 million and $312.4 million, respectively), though it should pass those movies next weekend. The incredible opening weekend gross for The Avengers is mostly the result of a lengthy, extremely effective marketing effort which began all the way back in 2008 when Nick Fury made his first appearance after the credits in the original Iron Man . By the time Thor and Captain America opened last year, it became clear that these movies existed in equal parts to make money and to serve as advertisements for The Avengers . The movie went on to receive strong reviews (94 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), which made anticipation reach even higher levels. It also helped that April’s releases were anemic, so The Avengers was able to play on more screens than it would have if another major movie was in the market (like when Thor had to face Fast Five last year). The big question now is how high The Avengers can go–it will obviously hit $400 million, and with exceptional word-of-mouth (rare “A+” CinemaScore) the movie could even be in line for a $500 million total. [From Box Office Mojo ] SOME SPOILERS AHEAD! Even though I tried to avoid seeing this movie until next weekend weekend, I ended up braving the crowds and catching a Sunday matinee showing that was (inevitably) filled with a vast geek squad who were probably already on their 2nd or 3rd viewings of the movie. Overall though, The Avengers was a really great time. The dialogue was snappy (both in regard to one-liners and monologues), the plot was well thought out and contained no visible holes, and the special effects weren’t cheesy or overdone. While I wasn’t blown away by the action and didn’t enjoy the infighting (particularly the encounter between Iron Man and Thor over Loki) nearly as much as I expected to, the smart script made up for these slight shortcomings. Now let’s talk about how well the abundant eye candy fared because, ultimately, this is a summer blockbuster and, action aside, the movie was intentionally filled to the brim with a large number of attractive, strapping actors. Between Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans, I was personally well sated, and Robert Downey Jr. pulled off his usual charming a-hole in Tony Stark quite well. If one adds in Jeremy Renner’s effortless tough-guy aura as Hawkeye and the mesmerizing performance of Tom Hiddleston as Loki, then it comes as no surprise to learn that this movie pulled in an impressive 40% female audience, which is pretty amazing for a superhero movie. Even more boastworthy is that Scarlett Johansson’s contributions went well past her famous jiggle . Don’t get me wrong though, for those boobs jiggled plenty, but Scarlett also held her own (far better than she did in Iron Man 2 ) and didn’t embarrass herself at all. Character development, which is a rare entity to behold in the blockbuster world, was also a major strength of The Avengers . Thor and Iron Man both had to do away with their own respective bits of snobbery (fighting alongside mortals and getting along with others, respectively) for the united cause, and the Hulk also learned to cope with his (for lack of a better descriptor) dual personality. Oddly enough, I think that last aspect was the most thrilling part of the movie for me even though I went in thinking that this incarnation of the Hulk was “fluffier” than usual and nearly as brawny as he’s previously been. I now stand corrected, for both Ruffalo and the CGI department won me over — not enough to throw away my allegance to Thor, but close. Indeed, I enjoyed this movie like I love The Dirty Dozen , and Whedon did an amazing job of integrating a bunch of mismatched parts into one impressive superhero tapestry.

She’s dedicated to her craft, and Anne Hathaway has taken drastic means to get into her character while filming “Les Miserables.” The “Get Smart” actress, who was spotted alongside co-star Hugh Jackman on the set on Wednesday (April 18), plays doomed prostitute Fantine in the flick and has survived on just 500 calories a day since pre-production to really look authentically frail. An insider told press, “Anne is playing a destitute factory worker-come-lady of the night. Unfortunately, she only has 15 to 20 days to lose as much weight as possible – up to a stone-and-a-half – because she’s been filming the scenes showing her fit and healthy, almost slightly chubby.” “It’s not ideal but, as with any high-budget movie, there are strict time constraints. Producers have assigned her a personal trainer and she is literally eating nothing more than a couple of apples a day, and some protein – mainly in the form of a shake.”
