Just before Christmas, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux made their annual pilgrimage to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Cabo is Aniston’s favorite (and one of her few) vacation hot spots. This year’s Cabo trip seemed slightly different though – in years past, the paparazzi have gotten tons of varying-quality photos of Aniston lounging around in bikinis (while Justin wanders around in jorts), but this year there aren’t that many photos. Hm. I don’t really have a conspiracy about that, I’m just pointing it out.
Justin and Jennifer have been vacationing with the same couple-friends they always spend time with: Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly, Howard & Beth Stern, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Interestingly enough, George and Amal Clooney are also in Cabo with the Gerbers. So… both vacationing groups ended up meeting and partying together. According to Us Weekly, everybody went to George’s house for dinner on Sunday and “George’s chef cooked for everyone and they had a ton of wine and tequila.” Obviously. And a source couldn’t wait to drop this to Us Weekly: George and Jennifer “are talking about making a movie in Cabo. Jennifer is really excited about it and wants to do it. They stayed for hours and didn’t get back to their house until very late.” A movie in Cabo? The Days of Tequila & Jorts.
Meanwhile, Jennifer gave an interview to CBS’s Sunday Morning (which will air on January 4). She was asked about her tabloid queen status and all of the pregnancy/wedding/breakup rumors that constantly swirl in the tabloids. She told CBS that she deals with the rumors by not paying attention:
“Just don’t pay attention. I think I used to really, there was a period where I was hell bent on saying, ‘That’s not true, that’s not right, that’s not fair.’ And now I just think you have to let it roll off your back and you realize, I think everyone knows it’s all B.S. and like a soap opera on paper. The main thing is to try to just keep refocusing back on what you know is true and what makes you guys happy. We know what our truth is. That’s all just static.”
Yeah… I mean, some of the tabloid stuff is just straight-up nonsense, obviously, but Aniston and her publicist do so much work to keep her position as the #1 Tabloid Queen (see the Us Weekly story about Jennifer and George Clooney, above). And her publicist is always directly commenting on all of the “rumors” too, so it’s not like “oh, I’m not even paying attention.” She’s paying attention. As is her publicist.
Aniston also sort of pretends like she’s not waging one of the most aggressive Oscar campaigns in recent memory by pretending all of her nominations came out of nowhere. She told CBS: “We were a little teeny weensy movie made for four dollars and we poured our hearts into it and everyone worked so hard, so that this is happening on top of that, it’s just like a huge giant juicy cherry on top.” She was asked if Cake proves she’s more than just a rom-com star and she said: “A little part of me saying, ‘I told you so?’ Maybe a teensy one.”
