Jennifer Aniston Watch

This week, according to People, Jen was spotted dining out with Jamie and Jools Oliver:

Jennifer Aniston, laughing over dinner with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jools at the Cut, the Wolfgang Puck-owned steakhouse in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Simply chic in a short leather jacket and jeans, the actress sipped on red wine and nibbled on French fries. After their meal, the group went over to greet the executive chef and Puck himself.

Also, Jen was spotted at the Tower Bar last Friday:

Another Friday night of strong cocktails at the Tower Bar. Tonight, the view from the stool is enhanced by a casually-dressed Jennifer Aniston celebrating something with The Gays, a somewhat dumpy female manager/publicist type and (what looked like) Orlando Bloom (no promise there). Lots of red wine, lots of gift bags, lots of attention from Dimitri and really frequent and long ciggie breaks on the patio (like the whole table smoked).

From the sounds of it, she has a lot of business to discuss and/or a lot to celebrate. Here’s hoping it’s some of both!

Just a reminder: Jen will be at the L.A. GLAAD Media Awards on April 14th to receive the Vanguard Award for her efforts in promoting equality. Also, my research for yesterday’s entry tells me that Jen’s class at LaGuardia is holding a reunion in June, so work and other circumstances permitting, her travels may take her to New York soon!

The occurrence of children’s cancer in the US is increasing annually; in fact, the rate of cancer in teens is increasing at a greater rate than other cancers, including breast, prostrate, and lung. More children are diagnosed with cancer than with AIDS, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies COMBINED. Children’s cancer has no known cause, and its diagnosis is a shock to the family. Treatment will cost the family approximately 53% of their annual gross income. One-third of the children diagnosed will die from their cancer. Most people are unaware that children get cancer, believing it reserved for those over 21. Treatment and trials for children’s cancer lead to improved treatment for adult cancers, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many other diseases.

The Luke Neuhedel Foundation is a 501c3 charity dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with cancer through grants and family fun events. Established in 2002 in memory of Luke Neuhedel, who died of hepatoblastoma at age 3, LNF begins its 5th year providing aid and support to children with cancer and their families. LNF is staffed entirely by volunteers, thus all donations go to those who need it most — the kids and their families. Find out more at www.lukefund.org, or write LNF at PO Box 137, Massapequa Park NY 11762.
