Jennifer Aniston Watch

Just kidding! It’s just her “pure zen” Smartwater ad, which I snapped today at the intersection of Clark and Madison here in Chicago. Still gorgeous, don’t you think?

Anyway, Jen’s still in New York, filming The Bounty, although with Gerard’s duties promoting The Ugly Truth, now in theaters, he hasn’t been seen on the set this week. Prior to her late-night scene yesterday, Jen was snapped en route to the set in a more casual ensemble, with baggy boyfriend jeans and some cool Converse sneakers (available on Zappos). Photos are below. She was also snapped enjoying a salad on her way into her trailer - those pics are at I’m Not Obsessed. Her jeans may look distressed, but she sure doesn’t - she makes this relaxed ensemble look good!

In the middle of her very busy schedule, it appears that Jen had the day off from filming yesterday, so how did she spend her day? Shopping! Jen was snapped arriving at the Only Hearts boutique in SoHo, where she had a girls’ day out with a few friends, including her makeup artist Angela Levin.

Only Hearts specializes in “inner outerwear” - in addition to their fashion line, featuring feminine, form-fitting pieces (including a skirt very similar to one that Jen’s been seen in on the set), they carry beautiful intimates, and according to OK!, Jen thought it was all lovely as well and purchased several items. It sounds like she picked up some great finds and had some fun, too. More pictures of Jen arriving at Only Hearts under the jump!

In playing traveling saleswoman Sue Claussen, Jen played a character very different from herself, and with that, she also had to look different. Many of Sue’s wardrobe pieces are not quite what you would expect to see Jen in in real life, and for this role she also had to opt for a plainer hair and makeup look than usual. However, anyone can see why Steve Zahn’s Mike was attracted to her - even when she’s dressed down, Jen’s beauty shines through.

Wardrobe: Sue is a no-frills type, and for that reason, costume designer Christopher Lawrence maintained realism by shopping on a budget, at stores such as J.C. Penney. “We really tried to shop in places where Sue would shop, and then breaking that up and making it more soft, so that we sympathize with her, not resent her.” From suits to sweats, Sue’s clothes are plain and practical - but she makes it work. The designer says of Jen, “She’s very beautiful and has such inner charisma and great energy that all of that shines through, even in shabby clothes.”

Hair/makeup: When production began on this film, many fans were shocked to see Jen sporting a darker, shorter ‘do than usual. As we now know, the style was simply a very convincing wig - Jen later told Cojo that other filming commitments meant that she had to keep her own locks intact, and People reports that the wig was custom-made for her by none other than her good friend Chris. As for makeup? There wasn’t much. Jen wore very little makeup for a natural look.

Last night was the Cinema Society screening of Management, and Jen, along with the cast and crew of the movie, hit the red carpet at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in New York in support of the film. Jen looked gorgeous in a gray minidress - and if those shoes look familiar, it’s because they are! She wore them in Paris.

The entertainment shows were on hand as well - Entertainment Tonight caught up with Jen, who had great things to say about her costar Steve! Jen’s friend Molly Sims was there as well - she told ET, “I’ve come to support her tonight! Her girls are here!” Access Hollywood and Extra were also there - their videos are at the links. Meanwhile, check out a gallery of red carpet photos below!

Jen usually plays it safe with her fashion choices, but this week, she stepped out in bold bright red not once, but twice! On Tuesday, she was snapped wearing a sexy red dress on the set of The Baster. Even though it’s just for her role, there’s no denying that she looks stunning. She started out the day in flip-flops, and later changed into a pair of nude heels for filming. Pictures below and at PopSugar.

The next day, she was on the set again, this time in bright red cargo pants! She completed this more casual fashion statement with a pair of Havaianas flip-flops. She cleans up well, though, as we’ll soon see - according to Fashion Week Daily, the New York premiere of Management will be on Tuesday, May 5th.

Another day, and another day of filming! Jen was snapped on Tuesday on the set of The Baster. She started out wearing a black coat, and then she took off her outerwear to show off a casual jeans-and-tee ensemble - and once again, she’s wearing her cool Converse sneakers! Pictures are below; other pictures, taken earlier in the day prior to her arrival on the set, can be seen at X17 Online. Enjoy!

It was a chilly day in New York City yesterday - but Jen was prepared! Early in the day, she was snapped arriving on set for The Baster - although it’s hard to tell that it’s her under that giant hood! Not only did it keep her warm, but it served as a handy pap shield.

Later in the day, though, she showed that she’s got nothing to hide - she left the building with her hood down, looking fabulous as always (above, and at PopSugar). She smiled as she walked to a waiting car, wearing some sweet sneakers - Converse All Star Slips, available at Zappos. I am very excited for this project - at the very least, I’m glad to see her working alongside the talented and funny Jason Bateman once again!

Lights, camera, red carpet! Last night, Jen and Owen hit the red carpet at London’s Leicester Square for the UK premiere of Marley & Me. The costars braved a bracing London chill to greet their fans at the event - Jen wore a stunning blue Burberry dress and Azzedine Alaia sandals, although she eventually put on a black jacket to stay warm.

Jen and Owen showed their mutual admiration for one another, as they told MTV UK how much fun they had filming together. Jen said of her rapport with Owen, “We are friends and we had a really great time from the beginning to the end.” Owen echoed the sentiment: “It was easy and it was fun to film. It was one of those movies where everyone hit it off.” Jen also had wonderful things to say about playing the Grogans - she told the Daily Mail that “the characters that are portrayed are beautiful.”

See below for more photos from the premiere!

It seems like just yesterday that Jen and Owen were in Rome - well, it was yesterday. However, the costars have already moved on - to Germany! Jen and Owen are pictured above at a photo call for Marley & Me - or should I say, Marley & Ich - in Cologne. Owen looked dapper in a suit, and Jen was stunning in an all-black ensemble - black shoes, black tights, and a tiny black dress.

They quickly moved on to Dusseldorf for an appearance on the German TV show Wetten dass?, where the hosts make bets with the guests - with often hilarious results. Jen and Owen’s appearance was no exception - when Owen lost one bet, he and Jen ate dog biscuits! Despite the rather unpleasant taste of the biscuits, it seems that Jen and Owen handled the bet with good humor. Their next stop is the United Kingdom, where they will attend a premiere on Monday night. Meanwhile, click the thumbnails below for pictures from the photo call and from Wetten dass?.

That was quick! Just yesterday, Jen and Owen were in Paris, promoting Marley & Me - today, they’re promoting the flick in Rome, after a quick flight last night. The costars were snapped at a photocall in Rome - this one was outdoors, and quite lovely. After rocking a floral frock yesterday, Jen is back in black - she sported an LBD for the photocall, and completed the look with a perky ponytail. Isn’t she gorgeous?

So where to next? Jen and Owen are still scheduled for appearances in Germany and the United Kingdom, so they’ve still got a way to go on their whirlwind tour of Europe - after that, Jen is headed to New York to begin production on Baster. I can’t wait to see more from these adorable costars! More photocall pics are below.

As previously mentioned, Jen has begun the European leg of Marley & Me promotion, and it all started in Paris! With that, she and Owen were snapped yesterday at a Paris photocall for Marley & Moi, as it is known en France, and the adorable costars looked terrific! Jen branched out from her typical neutrals - she wore a floral minidress with dark tights and insanely high Christian Louboutin heels. Some have been torn on the look, but I like it! It is definitely different for Jen, and the blue in the floral print brings out her beautiful blue eyes.

So what’s next for the jet-setting costars? After an appearance on French TV, they got on a plane to Rome (pictures at Gossip Girls)! Meanwhile, enjoy more pictures of the Paris photocall below.

After the Oscars, the stars hit the afterparties, and in my admittedly biased opinion, Jen and John were the cutest couple of the night. The pair showed up at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking adorable and affectionate as they mingled with the elite crowd. Other stars in attendance (and pictured with Jen below) included Meryl Streep, Gerard Butler, Christina Applegate, Megan Mullally, and Gwen Stefani. However, as the pictures below show, Jen spent much of the evening with her beau, looking very much in love. In fact, John recently told Ryan Seacrest that he had attended as support for Jen - but she ended up being his support!

So where to next for Jen? Europe! She has promotional duties in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom for Marley & Me, and she was recently snapped at LAX (pics at PopSugar). Pictures from the Vanity Fair party are below - enjoy!

Continuing my game of catch-up after technological snafus earlier in the week, here are pictures of Jen in the Academy Awards press room with Jack Black and two new Academy Award winners. On the Oscar stage, they presented awards in the animation categories; Wall-E, directed by Andrew Stanton, won for Best Animated Feature, while La Maison en Petit Cubes, directed by Kunio Kato, won for Best Animated Short Film. Fitting his short film, Kato gave a short speech as well, saying very simply “Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto” in a nod to Styx.

After the presentation of the awards, Jen, Jack, and the winners were photographed in the press room - check out the photos below! I still cannot get over how gorgeous Jen looked in her Valentino gown - she was easily one of the evening’s best dressed!

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the delay in my Oscar reporting - on Sunday of all days, I had some computer woes that still have not entirely resolved themselves. So I’m playing catch-up the best I can. Anyway, Jen was a presenter at Sunday’s Academy Awards - she and Jack Black presented the awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Animated Short. Despite what many perceived to be nerves, Jen did very well, showing grace and good humor throughout the presentation. She looked terrific as well - she deviated from her usual basic black with a sparkly white Valentino, and her hair, accented with a delicate braid in front, looked beautiful as always (check out Jen and other Oscar beauties at Hot or Not Beauty). A video from the show is below, along with a photo gallery. Enjoy!

The premiere was on Monday night, and I’m still just that into Jen and her costars! Here are some moments from the red carpet:

- Jen talks to The Insider about “40 freakout moments” - and gray hair!

- Hollywood.tv shows the rather enthusiastic reaction to Jen’s arrival!

- USA Today asks the cast about their own dating stories.

- People Style Watch puts the question to the readers - was Jen’s look on the red carpet a hit or a miss? Vote early, vote often.

- Jen tells Entertainment Tonight the story behind her stunning look.

- Finally, Jen’s a co-cover girl! Marie Claire interviews Jennifer, Ginnifer, and Drew in the upcoming issue. The interview, along with some gorgeous pictures, can be found at the magazine’s website - the ladies are all funny and sweet, and the interview is entertaining and relatable.

More pictures can be found below - enjoy!
