Jennifer Aniston Reveals What She Is (And Isn’t) Looking For In Her Next Relationship: ‘Humour Please, I Beg Of You’

Jennifer Aniston is ready to find love again.

The former Friends star, who split from ex-husband Justin Theroux in 2017 and was previously married to Brad Pitt between 2000 and 2005, has revealed she is ready to resume dating.

And the 52-year-old knows exactly what she is – and isn’t – looking for.

“No-one of importance has hit my radar yet but I think it’s time,” Jen said on the Lunch With Bruce podcast. “I think I’m ready to share myself with another.”

The actor said she had been in relationships for the best part of 30 years and had enjoyed time on her own in recent years.

“I didn’t want to for a long time and I loved really being my own woman without being a part of a couple,” she said.

“I’ve been part of a couple since I was 20 so there was something really nice about taking the time.”

However, you won’t be seeing Jen pop up on any dating apps anytime soon, because she’s “an old school girl”.

“No Tinders and no Rayas please,” she told said. 

“People don’t come up to people anymore,” she added. “People don’t do that. It’s weird.”

And if you fancy your chances with one of the most famous women on the planet, Jennifer has given potential partners some tips on what she looks for in a significant other, including a quality first kiss. “It’s pretty important,” she said.

“That, and also the ease at which the conversation flows the first time. That’s kind of a good indicator. Confidence, but not a cockiness. Humour, please I beg of you, beg of you. Generous. Kind to people.”

Oh, and couch potatoes move to the back.

“Fitness is important and not just about like how you look,” she noted. “I want to be around here for a long time and not be in a wheelchair when I’m 80.”

Britney Spears Unimpressed By Wave Of New Documentaries About Her Private Life: ‘That’s The Past’

Britney Spears has spoken out about the release of several new films documenting her personal life.

The singer, who is currently embroiled in a legal battle to bring an end to the conservatorship she has been under for the last 13 years, has been the subject of several documentaries in recent times, put together by media outlets like the New York Times and the BBC.

With a hearing about the legal arrangement scheduled for Wednesday, two more docs about Britney have arrived, including the Netflix offering Britney vs. Spears.

Controlling Britney Spears – a sequel to Framing Britney Spears, which sparked a lot of conversation earlier this year – was also released in the last week, with CNN recently unveiling their own project titled Toxic: Britney Spears’ Battle For Freedom.

In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Britney shared her thoughts on one of the documentaries after claiming she’d sat down to watch it, although she did not specify which.

“It’s really crazy guys,” she wrote on Instagram. “I watched a little bit of the last documentary and I must say I scratched my head a couple of times!!!

“I really try to disassociate myself from the drama!!! Number one… that’s the past!!! Number two… can the dialogue get any classier??? Number three … wow they used the most beautiful footage of me in the world !!! What can I say… the EFFORT on their part!!!”

Back in May, Britney voiced her upset at being the subject of so many recent documentaries, branding the producers behind them “hypocritical” and accusing them of “criticising the media and then doing the same thing”.

“2021 is definitely way better than 2020 but I never knew it was gonna be like THIS!!!!” she wrote. “So many documentaries about me this year with other people’s takes on my life… what can I say… I’m deeply flattered!!!!”

Britney continued: “These documentaries are so hypocritical… they criticise the media and then do the same thing?????

“Damn… I don’t know y’all but I’m thrilled to remind you all that although I’ve had some pretty tough times in my life… I’ve had waaaayyyy more amazing times in my life and unfortunately my friends… I think the world is more interested in the negative!!!!”

The Womanizer singer added: “I mean… isn’t this supposed to be a business and society about THE FUTURE???? Why highlight the most negative and traumatising times in my life from forever ago???? I mean DAMN…”

She previously said of Framing Britney Spears: “I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in… I cried for two weeks and well… I still cry sometimes!!!!”

According to The Sun, this was done to allow the police more time to continue their investigation and decide how it would be best to proceed.

Katie previously told the tabloid the day after the alleged incident: “I’ve got a big bruise, my face is all puffy, and I went to hospital. I’m still all dazed. I’m devastated. I’ve told police that I was assaulted, and am in shock that this happened.”

The Celebrity Big Brother winner’s fiancé, car dealer and former Love Island contestant Carl Woods, subsequently insisted that he has “never and never would do anything to hurt Katie”.

“Anybody who thinks I hit Katie, you’re completely delusional and have no idea of the reality of the situation

Following this, Katie insisted that she and Carl are still together.

While Dan said that a CT scan confirmed he was OK, he has been instructed to rest for a couple of days, meaning he risks falling behind his fellow Strictly competitors as they prepare for the first live show next Saturday.

Sharing photos on himself in hospital, Dan wrote on Instagram: “Bit of head-based drama today! After whacking my noggin on the big glass window yesterday I got sent to A & E today because I was feeling a little wobbly.

He continued: “I’ve got to rest for a couple of days – so I’ll be a bit behind – but ready to dig in again next week.”

“Whatever happens on the telly… she has a friend for life,” he added.

Twitter Responds To Nicki Minaj’s Claims Her Infamous Vaccine Posts Landed Her In ‘Twitter Jail’

Nicki Minaj has claimed she’s in “Twitter jail” after she posted a string of infamous posts about the Covid-19 vaccine – and the social media site has something to say about it.

Earlier this week, the rapper raised eyebrows when she claimed that she would not be attending the Met Gala as organisers were requiring guests to be vaccinated.

In a tweet that has since been widely debunked, she wrote: “My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen.

“His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied.”

Since then, Nicki has doubled down on her views, particularly after she was criticised by prime minister Boris Johnson and chief medical officer Chris Whitty during a press conference earlier this week.

However, on Wednesday night, Nicki claimed she was in “Twitter jail” as a result of her tweets.

“I’m in Twitter jail y’all,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “They didn’t like what I was saying over there on that block, I guess.”

She added that she’d planned to post a Twitter poll with the options “asking questions is OK” and “I like being fking dumb” only to find “boom – can’t tweet”.

A spokesperson for Twitter has denied taking action on Nicki’s account, saying (via The Daily Beast): “Twitter did not take any enforcement action on the account referenced.”

Prior to this, Nicki also claimed she’d been invited to discuss her views at the White House, tweeting: “The White House has invited me & I think it’s a step in the right direction. Yes, I’m going.

“I’ll be dressed in all pink like Legally Blonde so they know I mean business. I’ll ask questions on behalf of the ppl who have been made fun of for simply being human.”

A White House spokesperson later insisted they’d actually only offered Nicki the chance to speak to their medical officials over the phone.

“As we have with others, we offered a call with Nicki Minaj and one of our doctors to answer questions she has about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine,” they added.

Before her Twitter exit, Nicki came under fire when she shared a clip of Fox News presenter Tucker Carlson praising her vaccine stance, alongside a bullseye emoji.

Earlier this week, she got into a Twitter row with Piers Morgan, after he branded her a “rude little madame” following her posts about the Covid vaccine.

Gogglebox Confirms Five Show Favourites Have Left The Channel 4 Series

Gogglebox producers have confirmed that five of the show’s most-loved stars have left the popular Channel 4 series.

Their departure comes after three of the show’s stars died in recent months.

In June, Pete McGarry, who appeared on the show with his wife Linda, died at the age of 71.

Then last month, Mary Cook, who appeared alongside her best friend Marina, passed away at the age of 91.

Shortly after the news of Mary’s death was confirmed, it was announced that Andy Michael had also died following a short illness at the age of 61.

Andy had appeared on the show since the very first series, alongside his wife Carolyne and their children Alex and Louis, with their two other children Katy and Pascal also making occasional appearances over the years.

It’s now been confirmed that Carolyne, Alex, Louis, Marina and Linda have all decided not to return to Gogglebox.

Executive producer Victoria Ray told The Sun: “We have had people from the show pass away recently.

“We lost Mary and Andy, and a little while ago we lost Pete. Their loved ones won’t be taking part in the show for the moment. Understandably, they want their privacy.”

She added to Daily Star that all five of the stars have the option to return to Gogglebox in the future if they would like to.

Last week, Gogglebox triumphed at the National Television Awards in the Factual category, the fifth time the show has won the award.

Collecting the award on behalf of the hit show were the Malone and Sandiford families, who have been presenting their commentary on Gogglebox for the past seven and four years, respectively.

During the Malones’ acceptance speech, mum Julie took a moment to pay her respects to members of the Gogglebox family who had recently died.

“On a sad note, I’d like to [dedicate] this award to all the people we’ve lost in the past 18 months,” she said.

The new series of Gogglebox kicks off on Channel 4 at 9pm on Friday 17 September.

Britney Spears Reassures Concerned Fans After Her Instagram Page Is Deleted

Britney Spears has put fans’ minds at ease when many grew concerned after her Instagram page had seemingly been deactivated.

On Tuesday night, many Britney fans noticed that her Instagram page had been wiped, which swiftly generated a lot of conversation online.

The fact that the chart-topping singer’s Instagram has been the primary way she’s communicated with fans during her recent legal battles added to people’s worries, but a post on her Twitter page has reassured her followers that it was Britney’s decision to remove the page.

In fact, she has apparently only disabled her Instagram page on a temporary basis so she can fully celebrate her engagement to her partner of five years, Sam Asghari.

The tweet on Britney’s page insisted: “Don’t worry folks… just taking a little break from social media to celebrate my engagement.”

She added: “I’ll be back soon.” 

Britney and Sam announced their engagement last week, which the singer later teased him about on Instagram, suggesting his proposal was “way overdue”.

In response for calls for the Everytime star to make her new fiancé sign a prenuptial agreement, Sam later joked: “Thank you everyone who is concerned about the prenup.

“Of course we’re getting an iron clad prenup to protect my jeep and shoe collection in case she dumps me one day.”

Met Gala 2021: 18 Must-See Looks Including Billie Eilish, Rihanna And Lil Nas X

After a year out, the Met Gala was back with a bang on Monday night.

While the annual A-list event is famously held on the first Monday in May, organisers clearly felt that this would simply be too long to make us wait in 2021, so decided to throw together a little something for September.

This year, the event was chaired by singer Billie Eilish, Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet, poet Amanda Gorman and tennis pro Naomi Osaka, with the theme being “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion”.

As ever, some of the stars in attendance understood the assignment completely, and others missed the mark somewhat.

Here are 18 of the must-see looks from the 2021 Met Ball…

Katie Price Sets The Record Straight Amid Reports Of Split From Fiancé Carl Woods

Katie Price has shut down media speculation about her relationship with fiancé Carl Woods.

Over the weekend, The Sun published an article claiming that the reality star had been overheard at the National Television Awards saying she’d ended things with Carl.

However, posting on her Instagram story on Sunday, Katie insisted that this was not the case.

Alongside a screenshot of the tabloid’s headline “Katie Price dumped fiancé Carl Woods and went on booze bender at the NTAs”, she wrote: “It’s such a shame having such a good night these awful stories about me coming out.”

“In fact, I never went out and said I’ve dumped Carl,” Katie continued. “This is not true, I was actually proud to be with my son Harvey. I wish people would leave me [and] Carl alone.”

Katie attended the NTAs with her 19-year-old son Harvey on Thursday night, where their documentary Katie Price: Harvey & Me had been nominated for an award.

Earlier that week, Carl spoke out to insist that he had never hit Katie, after a man was arrested for physically assaulting her the previous month.

Back in September, the former glamour model was taken to hospital with facial injuries after an alleged physical assault.

A “short time later”, a 32-year-old man was arrested “on suspicion of assault, theft and coercive and controlling behaviour”. The man was later released on bail.

Dismissing rumours about the incident, Carl insisted: “I have remained quiet until now due to the investigation being carried out by the police. However, I have found it so difficult to keep quiet on social media due to the speculation and shocking abuse that I have received.

“Anybody who thinks I hit Katie, you’re completely delusional and have no idea of the reality of the situation. I have never and never would do anything to hurt Katie. The truth will be told.” 

Katie is mother to five children, from previous relationships with footballer Dwight Yorke and her ex-husbands Peter Andre and Kieran Hayler.

She and Carl, a car dealer and former Love Island participant, announced their engagement in April 2021, after just under a year of dating.
