Jennifer Aniston's Weekly Celeb Dinner Guest Details
And a recent Vanity Fair profile lifted the lid on Jennifer's iconic dinner gatherings, which are hosted weekly and attended by a heap of stars.
The author of the piece, Julie Miller, writes, 'Every Sunday, Aniston gathers 10 to 15 people for dinner,' and that 'everyone sits at the same seat, with Aniston at the head.'
These celebrity guests include Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearney, as well as Jason Bateman, his wife, Amanda Anka, and their daughters: 18-year-old Francesca and 13-year-old Maple.
Gushing about the food served at the dinners, Jason hilariously revealed that the group had to encourage Jen to diversify her menus, which seemingly largely consisted of Mexican dishes. 'She stumbled upon a burger that is almost identical to the In-N-Out burger,' he shared. 'She actually found some company to print up a bunch of the papers that are wrapped around the burgers with 'Jen-N-Out' on it. It looks exactly like the logo. You can either have the beef or chicken, the lettuce or a bun around it. Then usually one of us will bring dessert.'
Elsewhere in the profile, Jason opened up about Jen's close relationship with his and Amanda's daughters.
'She almost makes us parents look bad because she's so incredibly attentive and consistent with her curiosity and warmth,' he said. 'She's the first one to call or text about big dates in the girls' lives. She has questions about boyfriends.'
'She's almost closer to a co-mom with Amanda. She's been a part of their lives from the moment they were born,' he said before adding, 'It is odd for them to even understand the public Jennifer Aniston.'

Jennifer Aniston's Romance With ‘Sexy' Jim Curtis Is ‘Moving Pretty Fast': Friend
Jennifer Aniston's romance with Jim Curtis is already getting hot and heavy. "It's new, but things are moving pretty fast," a close friend of the actress exclusively tells Us Weekly. "They just get along so well." It helps that Curtis, 49, is into health and fitness like Aniston, 56, who told in April that she is "the strongest" and "the most in shape" that she has "ever been" in her life. "She thinks he is sexy and takes care of his body. That's important to her," the friend shares. "She works out daily and takes such good care of her body. It's great he does too." Inside Jennifer Aniston's 'Serious' Romance With Jim Curtis — And What They've 'Bonded Over' After Aniston and Curtis were photographed together for the first time over the 4th of July weekend, Us broke the news that they are officially dating. "Jen is so happy right now, and Jim is part of the reason," the pal says. "He's like a breath of fresh air, and all her close friends are 1,000 percent loving them together." While Curtis is not an A-list celebrity like Aniston's exes, who include Brad Pitt, John Mayer and Justin Theroux, the hypnotist is no stranger to Hollywood, having worked with Chrissy Teigen, Miranda Kerr and Julianne Hough, among other stars, in the past. "Jim is so cool, laid-back and smart and doesn't try to compete with Jen in any way," the friend tells Us. "He comes from his own world and is successful, so he fits in Jen's world well." Jennifer Aniston's Dating History: A Complete Timeline of Her Exes and Flings Jason Bateman, who has been close with Aniston for years and worked with her on films including 2010's The Switch and 2011's Horrible Bosses, is particularly fond of Curtis after joining the new couple on their PDA-filled holiday vacation to Mallorca, Spain. "Jason Bateman and his wife [Amanda Anka] love him," the pal reveals. "Jim and Jason are friends, and Jim thinks Jason is hilarious." Like Bateman, Aniston is "constantly making [Curtis] laugh," according to the confidant, who says the Friends alum "can relax around Jim and be herself." "Jim is no drama and a grounded guy who has his life together. It is casual, but she really likes him and is very open to a serious thing," the friend tells Us. "We think he may be the perfect guy for her. She deserves all the happiness and love from a good guy, and so far he is checking all the boxes." Everything Jennifer Aniston Has Said About Love, Relationships, Heartbreak and More Us Weekly has reached out to Aniston's rep, Bateman's rep and Curtis for comment. Multiple sources previously told Us that mutual friends introduced the Morning Show star and the life coach, who started out as friends themselves before their relationship turned romantic.

Jennifer Aniston Says Filming 2006's ‘The Break Up' Was ‘Kind Of Cathartic' After Brad Pitt Divorce
Jennifer Aniston knows The Break Up was a case of art imitating life. '[When making the movie], I might have just gone through a separation [that] I'm sure nobody remembers,' Aniston, 56, quipped to Vanity Fair in a YouTube video posted on Monday, August 11, referring to her divorce from Brad Pitt. 'It was kind of cathartic to go right from that [into shooting].' She added, 'When they came to me with the offer, they were a little nervous about making the offer 'cause they thought, 'Is it insensitive? Is it inappropriate?' But, I actually thought [it] was a great opportunity. I knew it would actually benefit me emotionally just as a human being and also serve the script and the character pretty well.' Aniston and Pitt, now 61, were married from 2000 to 2005. The next year, Aniston starred opposite Vince Vaughn in The Break Up, a film following a former couple trying to get the other to move out of their dreamy, shared apartment via outlandish antics. Jennifer Aniston Addresses Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie 'Love Triangle' 'We had one of the best summers shooting this movie,' Aniston recalled to Vanity Fair. 'A lot of this movie was Vince and I, we spent two weeks with the writers … and we would read through the scene, and we would improv the scene. Then, they would just write as fast as they could. This whole movie was a result of those two weeks.' She continued, 'It also allowed for a lot of real conversations that couples have, which I think is why [the movie] hit home for so many people.' After Aniston and Pitt's divorce, they each got remarried. The Morning Show star wed Justin Theroux in 2015, three years before they separated. Pitt, meanwhile, was married to Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2019. Aniston and Pitt are now dating Jim Curtis and Ines de Ramon, respectively. Everything Jennifer Aniston Has Said About Love, Relationships, Heartbreak and More Speaking about Aniston and Curtis, a source told Us last month: 'They are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together. They are happy and really into each other.' According to the insider, Aniston and hypnotherapist Curtis met through mutual friends and 'really hit it off.' 'They've been hanging out a lot, but very much on the DL at her home in L.A.,' the source added to Us. 'It's very Zen, and she has always been very much into that. They're a good match.' Aniston and Curtis have both remained coy about their blossoming romance, though the actress has 'liked' several of Curtis' Instagram uploads and even posted a copy of his 2024 book, Shift: Quantum Manifestation Guide, in an Instagram carousel earlier this summer. 'I have a real struggle, truthfully, about what to and not to share,' Aniston quipped to Vanity Fair about keeping her love life private. 'And also, social media is a constant struggle for me.'

Kim Kardashian declares Kanye West's personality has ‘changed' in trailer for intimate new documentary
Kanye West is offering an intimate glimpse into his life, amid growing psychological struggles, in a new documentary titled In Whose Name?. The film, from 18-year-old filmmaker Nico Ballesteros, features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of West — now known as Ye — captured by Ballesteros across six years. The documentary's first trailer, released Wednesday, opens with the rapper declaring in a voiceover: 'I'm off my meds for five months now.' 'Your personality was not like this a few years ago,' West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, responds, audibly distressed. 'It's a calling by the universe,' the 'Flashing Lights' artist's voice continues over a montage of him in an open flatland and riding in a car next to his and Kardashian's eldest daughter, North. 'Never tell me one day I'm gonna wake up with nothing,' he adds. An additional sequence of clips follows, showing West hosting one of his infamous Sunday Service events, visiting a prison, holding up a homemade 'Ye4President' poster, and telling a crowd at a 2020 rally that he 'almost' had his daughter aborted. 'I would rather be dead than be on medication…' he vows. 'Either they destroy me or I destroy it.. I'm almost like a masochist… I write whatever I want when I want! It's words!' The teaser concludes with West noting that 'the best thing about being an artist and bipolar' is 'anything you do and say is an art piece.' West — who in recent years has suffered a public downfall over shocking antisemitic and racist social media rants — first spoke about his 'mental condition' when promoting his 2018 album Ye. In the song 'Yikes,' he described his bipolar disorder as a 'superpower.' He has since insisted that the previous bipolar diagnosis was inaccurate and that his erratic behavior is due to autism. In Whose Name? 'reveals a side of Ye the world was never meant to see — raw, unfiltered, and suspended in the complexity of fame, faith, mental health, and power,' an official description reads. 'What began as a silent observation evolved into a profound journey of artistic and personal growth,' it adds. 'Immersed in Ye's world of extremes, [Ballesteros] bore witness to brilliance and breakdowns, triumphs and turmoil, but also observed the paranoia and intensity that increasingly shaped Ye's world.' In Whose Name? is set to release in select theaters September 19.
