Rare glimpse inside Jennifer Aniston's home life
Taking to Instagram, the 'Friends' star posted a series of photos taken in her two California properties.
The 56-year-old actress shared several shots of herself spending time with her celebrity pals, while wishing her 44.5 million followers a 'happy Monday', Realtor reports.
Among the A-listers featured in the images were Aniston's close friend — and former co-star — Courteney Cox, as well as 'Will & Grace' actor Sean Hayes.
The Golden Globe winner also posted a snap of her dog, Lord Chesterfield.
In the photo, the star lounged on an outdoor couch with her pup, whom she rescued in October 2020.
Aniston is currently the proud owner of two California dwellings: a midcentury modern property in Bel-Air, which she purchased for $US20.1 million ($A30.5 million) in 2012.

The other is a Mediterranean-style farmhouse in Montecito, which she bought from fellow A-lister Oprah Winfrey for $US10.5 million ($A15.9 million) in 2021.
Images obtained by Realtor in March revealed that 'The Switch' actress was carrying out extensive renovations on her farmhouse property.
Photos showed that the dwelling had undergone a stunning overhaul, which included the addition of a new pool area.
Those images revealed that construction was very near completion, suggesting that Aniston might have since moved into the dwelling.
Although, she has not yet revealed whether she plans to use the Montecito abode as a full-time residence or a weekend getaway.
It appears that at least one of the photos featured in Aniston's Instagram post might have been taken at her newly renovated dwelling.
The image shows the actress' pet dog Clyde lounging in the entryway to a property, which features the same heavy-set wooden door as Aniston's Montecito property.
The pup can be seen lying next to a hedgehog toy behind a welcome mat that reads: 'The babe cave.'
Aniston also reminded fans of her close bond with Cox in the images, with one snap showing the longtime friends hugging while donning matching loungewear and standing together in what appears to be a kitchen.
Other photos saw Aniston posing along with producer Kristin Hahn in front of her cozy fireplace, and hanging out with her friend Andrea Bendewald in a beautifully decorated living room.
Meanwhile, Aniston's candid selfie with close friend Hayes appears to have been taken during an evening on the town — and saw a third person carefully blurred out by the actress to protect the anonymous pal's privacy.
Lastly, Aniston showed a picture of the gorgeous sunset over the water.
The candid into her personal life comes nearly two months after an elderly man was arrested after intentionally crashing through the gates of Aniston's Bel-Air property while she was home.
Police were called to the star's Los Angeles home around 12pm on May 5 for a possible burglary, according to local news channel KTLA.
The 'Horrible Bosses' actress was at home at the time of the shocking incident, and the intruder has been identified only as a white male in his 70s, TMZ reports.
The Los Angeles Police Department revealed that a security guard on-site held down the elderly man until they arrived.
TMZ reported that Aniston's security team rushed over to the driver and restrained him at gunpoint immediately following the incident.
Upon arrival, police officers took the man, who has a minor criminal history, into custody without any issues.
According to ABC News, the incident was not an accident. However, it doesn't appear that Aniston was targeted.
The LAPD's Threat Management Unit has taken over the case to err on the side of caution.
According to KTLA, the retractable arm on Aniston's gate was broken off as a result of the crash.
Following the incident, the LAPD revealed that 'there was a victim who was home at the time, who was not injured.'
Aniston has been very discreet about her personal residence, a 10,186-square-foot, midcentury modern mansion on a 3.27-acre lot in L.A.'s Bel-Air neighbourhood.
The prestigious estate, built in 1968 and designed by architect A. Quincy Jones, is hidden behind tall hedges and high gates, ensuring maximum privacy for Aniston, who used the home as the location for her 2015 wedding to Justin Theroux.
The couple divorced in 2018. Realtor.com records indicate she paid $US20,970,000 ($A31,875,000) for the marvellous manse and estimates it's now worth anywhere from about $US18 million ($A27.3 million) to $27 million ($A41 million).

Brad Pitt's $2 million ‘green flex'
Brad Pitt isn't just portraying a Formula 1 driver in films — he's also a true car enthusiast in real life. The Hollywood star's collection features a roaring V12 Lamborghini, sleek electric Porsches, luxurious 4x4s and one of the world's rarest cars. His car collection itself is estimated to be worth approximately $6.3 million. Here's a look inside his extraordinary car collection. Lamborghini Aventador One of the most impressive vehicles in his collection is the Lamborghini Aventador, a V12-powered machine capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately three seconds. It's unclear which specific version he owns, but with any Aventador, the screaming V-12 engine can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3 seconds. Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition Another head-turner in his collection is the Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition, a 2015 model gifted to him by his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Audi R8 Spyder There's also an Audi R8 Spyder, and it's pretty easy to see why Brad Pitt owns it. Packing over 600 horsepower and capable of speeds beyond 320 km/h, it's a fitting match for someone chasing the F1 thrill even off-set. Bentley Continental GT For a touch of British luxury, Pitt has a Bentley Continental GT. While he's rarely seen in it, the car is believed to be reserved for special events and award nights. Porsche Taycan Brad Pitt has been seen cruising around Hollywood in his 2023 Porsche Taycan. Depending on the model, the Taycan can have a dual-motor all-wheel drive that's capable of producing up to 751hp and can accelerate from 0 to 100 in 2.4 seconds. While it's unclear which Taycan Pitt owns, photos of him driving it around Los Angeles suggest it could be his new daily vehicle. Two Tesla Model S There's some bad history with one of his two Tesla Model S. In 2018, one of his two Teslas was involved in a three-car crash in Los Angeles. The Tesla Model S produces 670HP and has a top speed of around 320 km/h. It can also accelerate from 0 to 100 in just over three seconds. Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG Pitt is often seen driving his 2008 Mercedes G-Wagon. It's a black Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG SUV that's fitted with a 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine that can do 0-100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Audi Q7 Brad Pitt has chosen the Audi Q7 as his go-to vehicle for picking up his kids and everyday tasks. It's a popular choice among many celebrities and can do 0-100 in 7.7 seconds with its 280hp engine. BMW Hydrogen 7 This could be Pitt's rarest car in his collection. The BMW Hydrogen 7 has a unique engine, allowing drivers to switch between hydrogen gas and petrol. These were built between 2005 and 2007 as part of BMW's exploration of hydrogen-powered vehicles, and only 100 were ever produced. The car has been described as a 'green flex' given it's astronomical price tag. It's said to be worth around $2m. He was last seen driving this car while attending the premiere of Ocean's 13. 'HIGHEST OF HIGHS' A month on from the release of his F1 film, Brad Pitt has opened up about his behind-the-scenes racing experience, sharing which legendary Formula One circuit left him 'breathless'. While reviews of the movie have been mixed, it's clear that Pitt received a front-row seat to one of the world's most prestigious motorsport events. While filming the F1 movie, he drove on various race tracks that comprise the Formula 1 calendar. And now Brad Pitt has opened up and shared his experience on which Formula 1 track left him feeling the 'highest of highs'. During a recent podcast interview with Tom Clarkson on Beyond The Grid, Pitt opened up about his new-found appreciation for the world's most iconic circuits like Silverstone and Abu Dhabi. However, there was one track that made him feel completely different from the rest. And that crown belongs to Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps, commonly referred to as Spa. 'But the high of highs? Spa. Oh my god! 4.3 miles, 100-metre elevation … It's such a smooth, graceful feeling,' Brad Pitt said. 'And then of course, Eau Rouge, we went to the bottom of Eau Rouge, turned behind, looked up the hill and waited. 'Fernando Alonso went by, and it literally sucks the air out of your lungs. It is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. 'That was that same weekend we were driving, I'd been out, but I wasn't doing what Fernando was doing!'

From debate class to erotica: Where the Clueless cast is now will have you saying ‘As if!'
But as her acting slowed down, Dash made a move no Clueless fan had on their bingo card. She entered the world of political commentary and joined Fox News as a contributor. Her conservative views shocked many of her fans, sparking headlines and controversies that quickly eclipsed her acting. A quick search on TikTok reveals she's the one castmate the younger generations can't get behind. Stacy went from Clueless to cancelled. Photo: Fox News Mel Horowitz might've been a gruff, workaholic lawyer, but his love for his daughter was higher than his cholesterol count. Played by Dan Hedaya, Mel was the perfect foil to Cher's extravagance, full of blunt advice and tough love. Whether he was barking at Josh or grilling Christian, Mel delivered punchlines that still land today. For a character who rarely left the house, he definitely left an impression. Photo: Paramount Dan Hedaya kept the no-nonsense energy going well after Clueless. You've probably seen him pop up in shows like ER, Monk, and Gotham, and in films like The Hurrican e and The Usual Suspects. With that trademark scowl and unmistakeable voice, he carved out a niche as Hollywood's go-to grumpy guy. Photo: Warner Bros Now in his 80s, Hedaya has stepped back from acting. I bet his character would get a kick out of the Apple Watch girlies. 'Do you know what time it is?' 'A watch doesn't really go with this outfit, Daddy.' A Cher line they definitely can't relate to. Photo: Paramount Who could forget Mr Hall? Played by Wallace Shawn, he was grumpy, disorganised, and forever battling the tardy slips. But under all that chaos was a big softie. Thanks to Cher and Dionne's matchmaking scheme, he ended up with Miss Geist and became significantly more mellow. Photo: Paramount Dare I say, this might be the greatest Cupid's play lore in cinematic history. Photo: Paramount Wallace Shawn is basically Hollywood's favourite intellectual and loveable weirdo. Before and after Clueless, he was everywhere, from The Princess Bride to voicing Rex in Toy Story. He's a writer, essayist, theatre legend, and an unmistakably unique character actor. Photo: Pixar You'll find him turning up in sitcoms like Young Sheldon, indie films, voice roles, and political interviews where he casually drops Marxist theory between takes. Honestly, Mr Hall might have been the most on-brand casting decision in the entire movie. Photo: CBS Miss Geist, our awkward, soft-spoken queen. She was composting before it was cool to be kind to the environment. Twink Caplan brought her to life with a nervous sweetness that made you want to give her a hug, and maybe also a hairbrush. Her romance with Mr Hall was one of the most wholesome arcs in Clueless. Photo: Paramount Twink Caplan has mostly stayed behind the scenes, but her legacy is solid. She was a producer on both the Clueless film and TV series, and later worked on the Look Who's Talking franchise and Loser with Jason Biggs. While she hasn't been in the public eye much, she's been spotted at nostalgic fan events, often delightfully on-theme. Photo: Sony Christian was hot, mysterious, fashion-forward, and completely unavailable. Cher fell hard, and honestly, who could blame her? Played by Justin Walker, he swept in with old-Hollywood charm and took Cher on the most stylish non-dates ever. It wasn't until he turned down her 'Betty' energy that she realised he was gay. Photo: Paramount Justin Walker's Hollywood run was short but memorable. After Clueles s, he appeared in a few small roles before stepping away from acting altogether. He reportedly moved into the business world, running restaurants and keeping a very low profile. Photo: LinkedIn Christian may have left Hollywood, but his legacy lives on. He taught an entire generation that having a weak gaydar can lead to some of your most devastating heartbreaks. Photo: Paramount Clueless is about to be more than just a nostalgic rewatch. Cher is coming back. Alicia Silverstone is confirmed to reprise her role in a new Clueless series for Peacock, and she's also stepping in as a producer. While most details are still under wraps, insiders say the show will reflect Gen Z culture while keeping the same biting humour and heart. No word yet on whether Dionne, Josh, or Murray will return, but one thing's for sure … that group chat would be LIT. Photo: Paramount

Internet shocked after robot built for fighting flips out and thrashes about on factory floor
Welcome to this week's episode of 'man-made horrors beyond human comprehension'. A humanoid robot named DeREK had what you might call a 'moment' on the floor of a San Francisco robotics lab this week, putting a fright up millions of viewers. The now-viral clip shows the mechanical humanoid suspended from a crane, flailing like a drunk before causing the crane to collapse. Nearby, a man freezes in shock, hands on his head like he just realised he was standing in the prologue of a cautionary sci-fi movie. 'Oh my god, what the f*** was that?' a female voice gasps. 'I'm so sorry.' From off-camera, company REK's self-described 'chief robot fighter' Cix Liv replies: 'What the f*** did you guys run?' Whether this was a meticulously planned PR stunt or just an accident that doubled as great marketing is unclear. Either way, it's a solid preview of what REK is selling, which is humanoid robots punching each other in the face for your entertainment. Think UFC, but with slightly fewer concussions. 'Please make this go viral so I can pay for repairs,' Mr Liv wrote on X under the video. 'Our humanoid robot boy DeREK completely lost his mind.' According to Mr Liv, the meltdown was not DeREK going rogue but a 'human error'. 'The technical reason is we ran a full body policy while the feet weren't touching the ground. Don't do that,' he wrote, explaining that the emergency stop takes five seconds and that the robot did not stop flailing until its connection to the internet was physically unplugged. 'Honestly everything happened so fast (we're) still trying to figure it out. 'First the policy wasn't supposed to do this, even in documentation it could be run while suspended. The issue was that the end state was back into walking mode. 'Killing it through netcode didn't work, the radio based (emergency) stop they give you takes five seconds to complete now. 'When the ethernet cable finally dislodged it finally stopped.' Mr Liv, a decade deep in the VR gaming world, is now working on ways for humans to pilot these robot brawlers remotely via VR headsets. DeREK himself is a G1 model from Chinese robotics company Unitree, a machine so nimble it's been filmed pulling off Kung fu moves and chatting to West Hollywood pedestrians in Gen Alpha slang. The same technology that can bow politely can now also swing a high kick like Bruce Lee, all in the name of 'innovation'. Very comforting. And despite the impromptu demolition job, DeREK lived to fight another day. 'Surprisingly, he still walks,' Liv confirmed when asked if anything was permanently broken. He described the video as 'pure cinema' and attempted to play down the scene. 'He's growing up to be a strong boy,' he joked. Chinese robot 'gets aggressive' at festival There are more and more videos like DeREK's meltdown emerging as robotics development steams ahead. People across the globe are now questioning whether we're a still able put the AI genie back in the bottle after viewing one too many malfunction videos. While warnings from AI pioneers may influence some, the reality is that the freight train of innovation will stop for nobody. In China, it appears to be pedal to the metal when it comes to the robotics industry. Earlier this year, a video surfaced appearing to show a robot 'getting aggressive' with a human at a festival in the highly-developed nation. The viral clip, shared by X user Ben Geskin, sparked a wave of speculation online, with the world's most popular podcast host suggesting it was the latest glimpse into our dystopian near-future. 'An AI robot attacked a human at a mass event in China; is this the beginning?' Mr Geskin wrote in his post. Popular podcaster Joe Rogan reported the footage on his Instagram and set off a snowball. 'An AI robot got aggressive with spectators in China. The way it did it was eerily human. I don't like this at all,' Rogan wrote. The clip in question is startling at first glance, with the robot clearly lunging towards a person behind a barricade. The event's security quickly grabbed the bipedal contraption and the situation looked a little tense for a fleeting moment. The problem is, the camera angle obscured the robot's legs and from there the debate raged. Those who want to believe we are hurtling towards a sci-fi future where robots roam the planet exterminating every human in sight had a field day, claiming the clip was irrefutable evidence that humanoid robots had achieved consciousness and were already annoyed at humans enough to attack one. But others were a bit less dramatic and said the robot clearly tripped forward and gave the illusion it was shaping up for a drunken hook. Commenters pointed out that the robot appeared to 'trip and fall against the barricade,' with one claiming 'it's clear as day that it tripped FFS'. It does highlight a genuine issue in robotics. Boston Dynamics, one of the companies at the forefront of humanoid robot development, has been uploading videos for years showcasing their dexterity, with some able to perform backflips and complete manual labour tasks with relative ease. But there's still a long way to go in developing how AI handles unexpected situations. Robots are typically designed for stability, but when they do fall, their attempts to regain balance can appear erratic or even aggressive. Rogan has long voiced his concern over the rapid expansion of advanced AI. A famous episode with Elon Musk in 2018 saw the world's richest man declare we were already past the tipping point of AI capabilities, claiming he 'tried to warn them' and had now adopted an 'if you can't beat it, join it' approach.
