OlderJennifer Aniston’s Christmas Eve Tradition: Dinner With Courteney Cox
Jennifer Aniston continued her annual Christmas Eve tradition by having dinner on Wednesday at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills with pals David and Courteney Cox Arquette and their 4-year-old daughter Coco. (Aniston is called “nouna” by Coco.)
Here’s what a source told People about the evening: “Jen and Courteney chatted non-stop Jen was also very sweet to Coco and the two giggled together… Jen usually gets steak, but she asked for fish instead and she ended up getting the sole and vegetables. Jen also had some white wine with her fish, while the rest of the table enjoyed steak. Courtney and David were also in a great mood and they acted very sweet to each other… Coco was walking around the restaurant without any shoes and when Courteney asked her where her shoes were, Coco said they were too tight and that she had to take them off. Both Jen and Courteney were smiling at her. Jen and Coco seem to have a very special bond and it was cute to watch Jen dote on Coco.”
Aniston’s musician boyfriend John Mayer was MIA.

I don’t have a problem with them not being together. They are after all just dating. I don’t know how serious they really are. My problem is the death grip on poor Courtney. She looks like she is saying please let me go.. too tight. Time will tell about she and John. If it ends, get ready for a month of headlines.. Jen dumped again.. No babies in the future.. etc.. Just to keep her off the covers, I will pray for a long and happy association. I saw TCCoBB today… Excellent, Excellent, Excellent movie.. cried and laughed.. Just beautiful.. Brad was to die for. and Cate too. A classic in the making.
Dana, how do you know John spent today(Christmas) with Jennifer? And, how do you know about their plans to go to Mexico together?
i like Courtney, she seems genuine, she is beautiful, and talented, now this woman is someone i can get behind, she became a movie star on her own hard work and merits, the old fashion way, hard work, Courtney is the type of beauty i thought all Hollywood actresses use to look like, now…they are letting all kinds of frogs in, with no talent, it’s just does not seem fair for true beauty,talented women with substance. i don’t want to pay my hard earned money to look at an ugly face on screen, i see that every day. Jen on the other hand, it’s a shame what she get away with because of being dumped by brad Pitt and her ugly, fat, middle aged fans, with low I Q, feel the need to score one for the ugly girl.
aww the BOTOX sisters.
bothe these women want their late 20’s back.
So pathetic.
Not attractive or smart. Inject that poison ladies,
they’ll discover some terrible side effect in a few yrs.
morons
OK, I already said that I will not have an argument with you ANONYMOUS = Insider anymore because you are rude and behaving like spoiled child when people don’t agree with you. Do you ever respect other’s people opinion? For your information, when I said “blogs” I meant web pages where respectable critics are putting reveiws for movies! I am not a fan of Aniston but I am also not a bad person so I wouldn’t wrote lies! Also, The Dog movie will be here in cinema in the same week as Benjamin Button - I checked! And yet there are lots of great reviews for Benjamin Button! Also, you should know, when you claim that you know so much about Aniston, that she here in Europe is not that famous, or better to say she is famous only as ex wife of Brad Pitt, sad I know …
Also I looked for reviews on web pages (at least in my opinion) and here is what I have found out (short version)!
From Rolling Stone:
From John Grogan’s bestseller comes a film about an untrainable Lab, named after Bob Marley, who teaches Grogan (Owen Wilson) and his wife (Jennifer Aniston) what matters in life. Watching the stars try to out-cutesy the mutt is one for the puke bucket.
From Hollywood reporter:
“Marley & Me” is a warm and fuzzy family movie, but you do wish that at least once someone would upstage the dog.
From Screen:
I mean during the entire movie I’ll bet if you combined all the time that the dog was actually shown to be doing something that endeared it to the audience, it would total MAYBE two minutes. I kept waiting for something to happen that would make me care about the dog - hell, I thought maybe it would get shot by a burglar, having alerted and saved the family. But no - nothing like that. It’s just an incorrigible dog owned by a couple too weak or lazy to discipline it. Heck, they painted such a bad picture of Marley at one point I was in fear that it was going to hurt one of the babies in the film.
Beyond that, sexual references to the dog “losing its balls,” the beginnings of a sex scene (sure, they’re fully clothed, but my daughter next to me was visibly uncomfortable), an obvious skinny dipping scene (again nothing shown, sorry guys, but a couple skinny dipping in a PG movie?) and a number of “B-level” curse words don’t exactly add up to a movie I’d recommend to my friends with children.
For me the best thing in the movie was Alan Arkin - the man is hysterical and I only wish he had more screen time. Really, this felt like a Lifetime Channel TV movie… some day I’d love to see Jennifer Aniston in something really GOOD.
……
OK, now please leave me alone, you only know how to have a monologe! I dislike Aniston because she is all fake, and a bad actress! I don’t hate her because I really don’t need to hate someone famous, that would be sad! I don’t have anything against her fans because they all are normal people, but sometimes there are people like you that are behaving like spoiled children and are lying and I have no need for conversation with that kind of people! Look, I really don’t care for that movie because I really, really think that Aniston is bad actress, always Rachel Green, and that is why I never go to see her movies - the end!
Glad you carried on your tradition on Christmas eve with your BFF. That what friends are for..
Hope you all Had a merry x-mas, I’m so full i still can’t move..

‘Marley & Me’ is no hair-raising film

A writer and his family deal with the world’s worst dog. With Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson. Director: David Frankel (2:05). PG: Sexuality. At area theaters.
What kind of a mutt is “Marley & Me”?
Adapted from John Grogan’s best-selling memoir, it’s not a family film, as there’s too much sexy talk and careerism in it. But there’s also not enough Oh-yesss-you-are! for puppy-loving kids.
It’s not truly a “dog” movie, since Marley is really just trotted out to chew the scenery - a couch here, a garage there. And it’s not a good relationship movie, since John and wife Jen’s lives seem pasted together from the ghosts of date movies past. What are you left with?
Well, Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson and Marley all appear to go to the same groomer, so there’s that.
Marley misbehaves, John (Wilson) and Jen (Aniston) react. It must be said that I haven’t read Grogan’s book, so the saga of American everydog Marley does not automatically provoke a drool of appreciation.
Other uninitiateds may find this J. Crew catalogue of a film alternately manic and too hungry for affection, much like the title pooch. When the Labrador retriever is given as a gift from John to Jen, they’re both reporters job-hunting in Florida.
He gets a column, she gets pregnant and soon they have a house and three kids. John goes through so much “wacky” material, he gives Dave Barry a run for his money.
His biggest treasure-trove is Marley. What a dog he is! Rambunctious, slobbery, untrainable. Cue the raucous canine chase music!
As the family moves from sunny Florida to autumnal Pennsylvania, John gets moody about turning 40, the kids grow up, and Marley gets a case of cinema sickitis as telling as Clint Eastwood’s cough in “Gran Torino.”
There is so little truth, not to mention plot, in “Marley & Me” that it starts to feel like animal cruelty because of how much director David Frankel relies on the dog.
Grogan may have had a wonderful life but it’s hard to appreciate it when Don Roos and Scott Frank’s script depicts him, over the course of 15 years, as an amiable family man but an underachieving, blank goof-off. Wilson, a normally subversive presence, seems to be the one neutered here, despite a comical scene involving the dog.
He just seems to be waiting for Aniston to say her lines sitcom-perkily while smirking cutely (circa 1995 Jennifer Aniston).
If characters talking to dogs, and dog- reaction shots, are a few of your favorite things, add some stars to this review. The actors don’t seem to mind that they’re being upstaged, even though “Marley & Me” doesn’t give the dog much to do, either.

Marley & Me
A film review by Bill Gibron - Copyright © 2008 Filmcritic.com
-
Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families.
-
Marley and Me is mush. If the orphans in Oliver Twist were served this particular brand of syrupy slop, they’d refuse seconds and secretly discard the portion they already had. This is warm and fuzzy as crass and calculated.
-
Are we supposed to find the endless arguments between Wilson and the certified entertainment void Aniston interesting or compelling?
-
Brian’s Song didn’t have this protracted of a sendoff for James Caan. Overlong and overwrought, Marley and Me doesn’t do its source material justice. Instead of being heartwarming, it’s soul crushing.

AND ALSO:
“Listening to the comedically neutered Wilson and dramatically incapable Aniston ***** and moan about their chosen circumstances is enough to make one sprint to the exit, but doing so would mean missing what may be the year’s most shameless and appalling sequence, in which—spoilers ahead!—Frankel cuts back and forth between the misty-eyed oldest Grogan son watching home movies of himself with Marley, and John standing at Marley’s doctor’s-office deathbed, the lethal injection IV tubes rammed right up into the frame’s foreground. The indecency doesn’t stop there, however, since Marley & Me then concludes with a front-yard funeral in which the three Grogan kids read letters to their deceased pet and then throw them on his blanket-wrapped, grave-encased corpse, a bit of vomitous melodrama to cap off an exploitative tearjerker that runs 125 minutes but, in Marley years, feels like an agonizing eternity.”
Courtney and her husband are stuck with her. There is no getting rid of her, remember that friend you can’t shake off no matter what you do, or how hard you try they hang around whether you want them or not — sad. All her fans try to convince us she is a good friend but not friendly enough to be with her own family. She loves her dad but can’t spend time with him, loves her brother can’t spend time with him either, at least we all know how she feels about her mom, too much of a disease to spend time with. Ahaa! I almost forgot her pee pee boyfriend, they adore each other but need to spend the holiday apart until the next film premiere comes up.
Aniston’s publicist is working overtime. “Source” to People, my foot! Whoever is this “source” if not Aniston’s publicist feeding the tabloids stories of her child-friendliness.
As to Mayer, well promotion work for Marley and Me is over so Mayer’s contract is also over. How stupid does she and her team think the public is? They did it with Vince Vaughn for the Break Up and now tried the same old trick for this film. Hmm. They may recycle it again and again as long as the tabloids make money out of these photoops and the public buys it. Oh does the public really care? It is just the tabloids and Hollywood forcing it down the public’s throat, as is all celeb stories these days.
can any one answer me this one question? how many times before the other day have we seen or heard about Jen’s relationship with coco,? why now? she should not be using that little cute girl for publicity, Courtney needs to stop Jen from using her family, Jen could have had her own family with brad, but her shallowness ambition, ruined not only her career, but her real life too, look at brad, he has accomplished a lot since dropping Jen like a bad habit, he finally has his beautiful family and a beautiful,intelligent,talented,caring,giving,selfless woman, brad has much respect from a lot people who really know what real life is all about, thank god brad left this pathetic loser and her phony life style. you go brad, what a real man he is, to see pass Hollywood’s fake phonies,
Wow, what’s with the death grip on Courtney? She’s got the poor woman in a headlock and she won’t let go.
Thats why Aniston is such a boring person, she goes to Cabos all the time for vacay, she goes to Sunset Towers for drinks all the time, she goes to Il sole all the time to eat out, she goes to Courtney’s house every sunday to hang out with her, she goes to have her christmas dinner with Courtney every year, she eats the same lunch in Friends set for 10 years, etc, etc.
And where ist he Peeboy? They were not together thanksgiving and not together Christmas, so its true, their relationship is just for publicity and booty calls, nothing more than that. Jennifer is desperate!
about how would I feel about my best bud’s “might as well be naked” body plastered in my man’s head. David is still a dude, and that GQ with Jennifer’s legs spread wide as possible, and tits saluting has gotta be hard to forget about when you see that person all the damn time.
FYI: I think this is an old picture, from about a year ago.
Wow.The first 15 or 20 posts were Vampelina Lovers. Wonder why Angelina never spends Christmas with her Father? OR why her Father has never met her Children Collection?
omg, this is just sad, for who benefit are they posing and telling their business too? brad has a fabulous life, 4 yrs. later and look at how he has moved on, also look at how fast has he moved on, it’s evident Jen was holding that man back, now look at Jens life 4 yrs. later, how sad, posing with no clothes on a magazine for a dog movie, faking relationships, basically doing the same things she did when brad left her, does any one have a friend who are still in the same place 10 years later?, even with all Jens money, money does not buy happiness, or talent or boyfriends,or friends or children or beautiful looks etc. maybe fake body parts, but even that doesn’t last, so fans, keep talking about her great body, because she will lose that too.
WOW I hope that “source” got paid good. Are you source the source isn’t the X?
MARLEY AND ME IS #1!!!!!
MARLEY AND ME IS #1!!!!!
MARLEY AND ME IS #1!!!!!
my goodness..commentators..SHUT UP!! mind your business. you DO NOT know the circumstances for every decision she makes. GET OVER IT! why don’t you put your life under a microscope and pick at it. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? and really….family?? wow, if each and everyone of you are so fortunate to spend the holidays with your nuclear family and give each other hugs and kisses 24/7 then good for you but guess what?? NOT everyone in this country has that. divorce rate? very high. family goes beyond DNA matching so STFU and GET OVER IT!! And if Marley & Me doesn’t Top in the Box Office, mind you more than a handful of movies came out on Christmas AND she is not the only well-known celebrity in the freaking film so stop putting all on her. GROW UP!! I’m so sick of coming here and having to read all you idiots’ comments.
“Sources are telling me that very early box office grosses based on Christmas Day matinee and late afternoon sales show that 20th Century Fox’s Marley And Me based on the bestselling book is beating the competition “by a mile”"
SUCK IT BRAD!!!
Yeah #70 because I’m sure your “sources” are really reliable. They released Marley & Me in about 3,500 theaters. Benjamin Button only about 2,900 so we’ll see how it all plays out. If Marley & Me doesn’t do well this weekend, it will tank next weekend. Once people figure out it’s not the happy, family movie they thought, it will go right into the tank. Now that all the promo hoopla has died out, Jen’s “Boyfriend” is no where to be found. How sad for her that she can’t even get a real date to her own movie premiere.
lol, what’s with the family issue? I think she grow up spending christmas with her family all those years but now, she’s old and in her right mind. she can spend christmas alone (or whatever she wants) and still be happy.
The dog movie will do well this weekend and tank once the holidays are over. After this weekend CCOBB will blow it away because it will develop legs due to the Oscar buzz and the multiple GG nominations. Ditto Doubt. Valkyrie may do okay for a week or two and after that, bye-bye.
see that’s where Jen is putting her whole life on, her movie doing good, brad on the other hand will get more movie roles even if this movie is not #1, not fair but true, but he is a great actor and people want him in there movies, also he didn’t have to lose is dignity promoting his movie like Jen did, how embarrassing for her, naked? oh god, also if you don’t want to read the truth about your idol, don’t click on, brad is not even worried, he is with his large and beautiful family that Angie gave him, Jen on the other hand….well, you know already, i won’t rub it in your face, trust me, brad will be working for a long time to come, huh, what about jenny poo?
Angelina doesn’t have any female friends. At least Jen has one.
