Little ditty about Jen and Diane

With the paps on her tail lately, we’ve come to know what Jen’s dinner plans have been on almost a nightly basis for the past few weeks. However, her dinner companion on Saturday night wasn’t John, Courteney, or any of the other usual suspects. It was Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton, perhaps best known for her phenomenal turn in Annie Hall. Check out Faded Youth for pictures of Jen arriving at Madeo, looking fabulous and carrying her favorite Bottega Veneta bag; remember when she carried that bag on the set of The Break-Up? I sure do. Madeo seems to be a favorite spot for Jen lately - during the week, she was there with John, Courteney, and Jennifer Meyer.
So what could Jen have been discussing with the ever-talented Ms. Keaton? One idea is the possibility that Diane might appear in a project for Echo Films, the production that Jen co-owns with her friend Kristin Hahn. This article from Variety discusses possible projects that Jen and Kristin have acquired rights to. One project that stands out is The Divorce Party, based on a novel of the same title by author Laura Dave. It is a story of commitment as viewed through the lens of one marriage ending and another anticipated to soon begin. A key role is that of society matriarch Gwyn Huntington, who uses her lavish anniversary soirée to announce her divorce - just as her son brings Maggie, his fiancee, to meet the family. It is not hard to imagine Diane playing the part of Gwyn to perfection - and Jen would make a lovely Maggie, should she choose to take on the role alongside her producing responsibilities.
As always, time will tell whether a collaboration between these two talented ladies comes to fruition, but I, for one, hope that it does.

This would definitely be awesome if Diane Keaton was to do a project with Jennifer. I also admire Diane Keaton as an actress as well as Jen.
A side bar –They are featuring one of Jen’s movie on lifetime this month Derailed.
