Jennifer Aniston using hypnosis to cure ‘extreme fear of flying'
Jennifer Aniston has been undergoing hypnosis in a bid to cure her 'extreme fear of flying'. The 'Friends' star, 55, has been battling the phobia for years and developed a superstition which involved tapping the outside of the plane with her right hand and stepping onboard with her right foot, but she's now managed to put the ritual to rest.
She told Travel and Leisure magazine: 'I have an extreme fear of flying. But I have been doing some hypnosis lately, and one of the requirements is to remove all of those superstitions. 'I have not been doing the right hand, right foot - and now it's shockingly good!' Jennifer went on to reveal she uses meditation to calm her anxiety during the flight, adding: 'Plugging into a good meditation can get you through.' She also told the publication she's been trying to split down her suitcase recently because she's always over-packing.
The actress explained: 'I've been trying so hard to become an under-packer because I am notoriously an over-packer. You just don't know where you're going to be on a certain day, or what mood you're going to be in. 'My girlfriends really appreciate me because they can usually borrow all of my things that they have forgotten - I'm providing a service! ... 'I put all my T-shirts in, then all my underwear, bras, socks, workout stuff, and they just stack on top of each other, which really helps you out.'
It comes after Jennifer recently admitted she has learned that she 'doesn't need to beat [herself ] up' over health and fitness. The actress has tried everything to stay in shape through her decades in Hollywood and since taking up a low-impact regime with resistance-based equipment through her partnership with Pvovle, she has realised that she could have been too hard on herself in the past. She told People: 'I know more, because I've tried it all. And my big takeaway is, 'Boy, you didn't have to hurt your body so much back then. You didn't need to beat yourself up.

Seth Rogen loves The 40-Year-Old Virgin's ‘filthiness'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Seth Rogen loved cinemagoers embracing the 'filthiness' of 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin'. The 43-year-old actor starred alongside Paul Rudd and Steve Carell in the 2005 comedy film, and Seth still has fond memories of making the movie. He told People: 'It was the first movie I made where I feel like … I was a co-producer on the movie and I helped write a lot of it with Steve Carell and Judd [Apatow].' Seth had a big role in creating the movie's tone and he loves that it was so warmly received by film fans. He said: 'It was the first movie that I was a part of that I really had a creative voice in, and a lot of the R-rated humor and tone came from me really advocating for that. 'And so it was really rewarding when it came out and people really responded to both the heart and the filthiness of it.' Seth and his writing partner, Evan Goldberg, now have their own production company, and the comedy star previously reflected on his changing status in Hollywood. Speaking to Sharp magazine, Seth explained: 'There was a meeting with an executive who was giving us notes when we were young who said, 'I got into this because I love movies and now it's my job to ruin them.' 'That one sentence really resonated heavily with us. Most importantly, we started to view it as being very comedic, like, it's a very funny dynamic if you love movies and the people associated with them. 'A lot of these people who work at studios just want to be liked by the filmmakers and the actors and the writers, and they just want to feel as though they're part of the creative side of things. But at the same time, they're constantly having to do things for their own self-preservation.'
