hey hey! oh i know everyone who is a member of team jennifer aniston is going to love the latest cover of life and style magazine which shows off ms. aniston looking gorgeous (that sexy slit goes on forever!) at this past sunday's golden globes along with her date - the oh so handsome and dapper gerard butler - they sure do make a great looking couple! the magazine claims that jen decided to wear angelina jolie's signature color 'black' because ms. jolie wasn't planning on attending the ceremonies - which jen must have been extra excited about because angelina always manages to upstage her! as an added bonus for those of you who can't stand ms. jolie - the magazine refers to angelina as 'tired and bony' - ha! (that picture doesn't even look like her - it really does look like a wax figure!) i do happen to like both ladies but i'm thrilled jen was able to make such a nice splash on the (wet) red carpet without having to watch her back! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

She wasn't nominated for a Golden Globe, but a stunning Jennifer Aniston definitely took home the award for sexiest appearance at the Jan. 17 ceremony. Wearing a black Valentino gown with a mile-high slit on the side, the screen siren took a page out of her rival Angelina Jolie's style book. And while Angelina and Brad Pitt decided not to attend the awards, their absence actually inspired Jen. "Jennifer decided to go for black and sexy for the awards only when she discovered that Angelina wasn't attending," an insider tells Life & Style. "An earlier choice had been a white asymmetrical Stella McCartney, since she didn't want to go head-to-head with Angelina and her trademark black."

Jen, 40, has been proudly showing off some killer curves -- while Angelina, 34, has looked worn out and nearly skeletal. Unlike Angelina, Jen has taken a balanced approach to maintaining -- and even improving -- her figure. Jen has done away with a regimented diet to maintain her fat-free form and is enjoying her food. "Jennifer was happy to emphasize her curves in direct contrast to Angie's skeletal look," says the insider. READ MORE
