JENNIFER ANISTON
So Jennifer Aniston, after months of passively sitting by while Angelina Jolie waxed poetic about domestic bliss with Brad Pitt, has finally spoken out about the other woman's comments. In response to Jolie's remarks about falling in love with Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Aniston told Vogue: "That was really uncool." Really? That's the best you've got, Jen? Wow. Way to show her. I'm sure she's just bawling her eyes out in her giant château.
RIO DE JANEIRO
Here in North America, we help less-fortunate folk out with food banks. In Brazil, they do things differently. The Brazilian Society of Esthetic Medicine gives free Botox injections and other beauty treatments to low-income women (the program is mainly to let student doctors practise technique). Shh ... don't tell Tara Reid.
$1,000 CHICKEN
Oh, those zany Japanese. For Christmas, the Takashimaya Co. department store is selling truffle-stuffed roast chickens (capons, actually) for 84,000 yen apiece (that's just over $1,000). Each of the birds, which are flown in from France, serves six to eight people. "People may think it's expensive, but it would be perfect for a party," a spokeswoman told Reuters. Yes, a party in fantasyland.
