Although the two have been photographed getting cozy, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer went to their first public event together Thursday night.

They joined Courteney Cox and David Arquette — who celebrated their nine-year anniversary that night — at a humanitarian event at L.A. steakhouse STK.

The bash was in honor of Jeffrey Sachs — who is known for his charity work with Angelina Jolieand is pals with Aniston’s ex husband Brad Pitt.

I’m still waiting for the first time that Angelina and Jennifer meet publicly, if that ever happens. 

These two have a knack for sharing things, don’t they?

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are about to face off…on the big screen.

Jolie’s drama Changeling and Aniston’s romantic comedy He’s Just Not that Into You are both scheduled to be released October 24. Changeling will be out in limited release before going wide October 31.

Jolie — who earns $12-15 million a movie — is already generating Oscar buzz for her role a mother whose son is kidnapped (”her performance hits home,” a Variety critic wrote).

Meanwhile, Aniston — who rakes in an estimated $8 million a movie — plays Ben Affleck’s love interest in the adaptation of the best-selling relationship book.

So who’s the bigger box office draw?

Aniston, says Brandon Gray, the president and publisher of Box Office Mojo.

“Aniston is more relatable to moviegoers and can star in these romantic comedies or dramas more successfully than Jolie,” he says.

“Angelina has tried to have variety in her career, but time and time again, she goes back to these vixen or bad girl roles,” Gray adds. “She’s had some success in those, but when she’s strayed from it, she’s flopped.” (He cited 2003’s Beyond Borders and 2007’s A Mighty Heart as examples.)

The Friends curse continues.

Courteney Cox has revealed her FX series Dirt, in which she plays the editor of a weekly celebrity magazine, won’t be returning for a third season.

“It just got canceled,” Cox, 42, told TV Guide.

Season 2 of the series, was cut short by the writer’s strike.

But Cox won’t be sitting home bored. She and hubby David Arquette with whom she produced Dirt are already working on other projects.

“We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now. We’ll be producing more stuff together, for sure,” the actress says.

I guess I was one of the few watching Dirt. I liked it! Maybe there will be more double dates with Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer in the Arquette’s future since they have the Dirt void to fill.

John Mayer must be officially Jennifer Aniston’s boyfriend now.  He got the all-important invitation to the best friend’s house.  Yesterday, Mayer was with Aniston at Courteney Cox’s Malibu house. 

Aww!  New love is really sweet.  I like that Jennifer is rocking it with a younger guy.  You go, Jen!

Here are a couple more photos. (more…)

Owen who? Kate Hudson is cozying up to another famous Texan.

Fresh off her breakup with Owen Wilson, Kate spent the weekend with another celeb from the Lone Star State — seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.

Kate and Owen were seen together in his hometown of Austin on both Friday and Saturday nights. First, the pair dined at the high-end Eddie V’s restaurant, and the next night they hit the Hula Hut with Lance’s three children and a group of friends.

This hookup is truly a case of Six Degrees of Separation: Hollywood Edition. Kate’s frequent costar Matthew McConaughey is best buddies with Lance. Meanwhile, Kate’s ex, Owen, dated Lance’s former fiancé Sheryl Crow. Plus, Sheryl reportedly hooked up her friends John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, who is currently costarring with Owen in Marley and Me.

Whew!

Kate was previously married to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, with whom she has a son; Lance — who most recently dated Ashley Olsen —was married to writer Kristin Armstrong, with whom he has a son and twin daughters.

Who do you think Kate Hudson will hook up with next week? She is going through all of Hollywood’s men. She’d better pace herself, or she’ll run out.

Jessica Simpson is a bit of a hot mess these days.

Jessica Simpson got good and drunk as John Mayer, the guy who broke her heart, went public with his new relationship with Jennifer Aniston last week. As we reported earlier, Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are over. Supposedly, he dumped her because he didn’t believe that she ever really got over John Mayer breaking her heart. Interestingly, Simpson got smashed the same day that news leaked about John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston getting cozy together.

The 27-year-old singer was so out of it after a four-hour session of heavy drinking at L.A.’s Mexicali Cocina Cantina on May 10 – which started at the pre-happy hour of 4 p.m. with BFF CaCee Cobb and her beau Donald Faison – that she was reduced to leaving her Range Rover in the parking lot and calling her mom Tina for a ride home. CaCee was so hammered, she puked under the table where they were partying. Classy.

Adding insult to injury, on Saturday, Jess’s pregnant little sister, Ashlee, is scheduled to marry Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz.

They are definitely a celebrity couple!  For now, at least. Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer relaxed at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami Saturday, eating, chatting – and smooching – poolside.

Aniston, who is wrapping up the Miami portion of her new film Marley & Me with Owen Wilson, sat in side-by-side lounge chairs with Mayer, eating salads and talking softly with one another. At one point the singer, 30, whispered into Aniston’s ear, sparking a smile from the actress, 39.

Their quality time didn’t end there. (more…)

John Mayer had fresh flowers delivered to the hotel room he shared with Jennifer Aniston almost everyday for the five sexy days they spent together in Miami.

Mayer flew to Miami April 23 to see the 39-year-old actress during a break from shooting Marley & Me. The couple stayed at the Mandarin Oriental Miami before switching to the less public Conrad Miami.

“She just always seemed like a lot of fun to him,” a Mayer insider says.

Rumor is that one of Jen’s closest pals, Sheryl Crow, who is a mutual friend of John Mayer’s set the two up.

Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson shared a hug on the set of their comedy, Marley & Me, in Miami on April 2.

Jennifer Aniston’s making some big-screen moves: She and Kristin Hahn – both formerly part of Plan B films with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt – are forming their own production company, Echo.

“We’re drawn to stories about people finding their voice and finding their way because they help us … [make] sense of our lives through the stories of others,” Aniston said in a statement. “That’s why we chose the name Echo, to echo back an idea, a challenge, something that resonates through all of us.”

Echo will have a first-look deal with Universal Pictures.

The two have already reportedly acquired the rights to several projects – some designed as star vehicles for Aniston.

They include the rights to Jane Fallon’s U.K. bestseller Getting Rid of Matthew (in which a woman tries to manipulate her married lover into reconciling with his wife) and Laura Dave’s The Divorce Party (in which a couple celebrates their 35th wedding anniversary by announcing their breakup).

The duo are also tackling true-life stories, including Counter-Clockwise (about a Harvard aging study) and The Goree Girls (about a wrongly accused woman who starts an all-female band in prison).

Aniston is currently filming Marley & Me with Owen Wilson in Miami.

On March 20, Owen Wilson, who is shooting Marley & Me (co-starring Jennifer Aniston) in Miami, had a day off from filming, so he did what any other good boyfriend would do — he spent the day with his on-again squeeze Kate Hudson and her son, Ryder Russell.

The three relaxed at Owen’s rented Star Island home and, according to one eyewitness, “Ryder was running around naked,” the insider tells OK!. “He was laughing and playing around while Kate and Owen were inside.”

Two days later, on March 22, Kate, 28, Owen, 39, and Ryder, 4, all went for a bike ride through South Beach, stopping to hide in a Starbucks when it started to rain. Later, an eyewitness spotted Kate and Owen holding hands as they caught an afternoon movie.
