'Made my entire year!' Selena Gomez gushes over Jenifer Aniston at a party to celebrate actress's new movie Cake


Selena Gomez may be one of the biggest household names in the world, but even she fangirls over her favourite actresses.
And she got to meet one of her heroes, Jennifer Aniston, 45, at a party to celebrate the Friends star's new film Cake in Los Angeles on Friday night.
Selena, 22, and Jennifer certainly seemed to get on well as they hugged in a photo taken after a special screening of the movie at Directors Guild Of America.

Besties: Selena and Jennifer certainly seemed to get on well together

Both actresses wore black to the party hosted by Perrier-Jouet And Cinelou Films at Chateau Marmont's Bar, and Selena made sure to get a picture for her Instagram account.
The Spring Breakers star wrote: 'I have not only been following her career as a fan since I was 8 and now get to watch her completely transform in her new movie CAKE, I have gotten to have real conversations with such a real heart, made my entire year. #cake #goseeit'
Aniston's new film has certainly drummed up some Oscar buzz for the actress known more for her comedy work than dramatic.

In the film she plays a woman who suffers from chronic pain and after seeing visions of a member of her support group who committed suicide, seeks out the dead woman's husband.
The film features a stellar ensemble cast including Anna Kendrick, Sam Worthington, William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman and Mamie Gummer (daughter of Meryl Streep).
The Oscar talk hasn't been too comfortable for Jennifer, who told the New York Post's Confidenti@l: that the praise is 'awkward and I'm flattered and humbled.'

Speaking of her transformation into the scarred Claire Simmons, the actress said: 'I gave myself about six weeks to really just disappear and connect with (the character) and this trauma, which is unthinkable.
'And I was just so excited and I ticked all the boxes in the actor dream role.'
Cake is out in US cinemas for a limited release this December but will go nationwide in January 2015 and in the UK on 20 February

She had her Cake, and she ate it, too! Jennifer Aniston on how she deliberately put on weight for new movie
She's known for her age defying looks and glossy appearance.
So Jennifer Aniston's dowdy appearance in her upcoming movie Cake has already got critics talking.
And now the actress has opened up about how she transformed herself into the dowdy Claire Simmons, a woman suffering chronic pain after a car accident.
Part of the change involved make-up - or the lack of it - darkening her hair and adding a few pounds to her usually slender body.

From frump to fab: Jennifer Aniston went to great lengths to play dowdy Claire Simmons in Cake, pictured left, piling on pounds for extra authenticity. She was back to her normal self at the New York premiere on Sunday

The 45-year-old was asked how she did it by a member of the audience during a Q&A session moderated by her Horrible Bosses 2 co-star, Jason Bateman, according to Us Magazine.
'I knew that was coming,' she replied. 'I basically just didn't work out for two-and-a-half months. I stopped working out and I stopped being as careful about my diet as I normally am. I was still healthy, but I'd allow more.'
Going without make-up, save for some dark rings added under eyes, was a plus for the Friends' alum, who looked her usual beautiful self, dressed in a black blouse and black skinny jeans for the event.

Nasty scar: She revealed It took a while to get it right

'I've said it before: It's very refreshing,' she told Jason.
However, she did have to wear a fake scar on her face supposedly sustained in the car accident, and getting that right was a problem.
'We did a lot of experimenting and we had an extraordinary makeup artist make these scars for us,' Jennifer said.
'We did some trials, some scar test days. Oh, if you could have seen some of the pictures, it looked like Chainsaw Massacre kind of stuff, you know? Like Freddy Kruger.
'By the end, I didn't even notice they were there,' she said. 'And I also thought they were...I don't know, I thought they were kind of beautiful.'
Talking about morphing into Claire, Jennifer said: 'First it was just understanding the logistics of what the accident was - where did the pain exist, what was the injury.
'There's a level of fearlessness.
' I think that you have to be able to sort of go, f**k it, I'm ready to just disappear.'

Cue all the naysayers and conspiracy theorists - Jen got a Golden Globe nom, while Angelina Jolie was completely shut out. They're already writing about it *SIGH* Are these two women ever going to stand separate without one affecting the other? Its really getting old. But I'm sure this is just beginning - its bound to continue throughout the entire awards season


I for one am happy for Jen - Congratulations! :tup:

(and if I'm being honest - I was VERY surprised to see Angelina's movie completely left out. I thought for sure it was gonna be among the nominees. And while these noms were decided long before the "Sony leak" it does make me wonder about those email messages that were leaked. Could there be a more dislike (and dare I say, hatred) for Angelina than we thought?)

Case in point . . .




Brange: a double shutout

SAG nominations yesterday, no Unbroken.
Golden Globe nominations today….

NO UNBROKEN.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association SHUT OUT Brange. They SHUT OUT Angelina Jolie.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
They nominated her for The Tourist!

And they SHUT DOWN Unbroken!

ANNNNNND…

They nominated Jennifer Aniston!

It’s her greatest victory over them. It took her almost 10 years to get here but it’s her greatest victory. Not only because she knows – we all knew – that the Jolie wants it so badly but because it was a come-from-behind.

Six weeks ago, Jennifer Aniston had no chance. Remember, Cake was nothing coming out of TIFF. Nothing. No one wanted it. No wanted to distribute it. October, silence. Then she and her producers decide to creatively do it themselves and suddenly, in a short five weeks, she delivers an award season campaign that lands her with both a SAG and a Golden Globe nomination. Without Harvey Weinstein. Without a major studio behind her.

Like I said yesterday, you gotta give her some credit for that. But I don’t think even she would have predicted that she’d get into the Globes and not the Brange.

Those starf-ckers at the HFPA are all about putting together the best guest list. Leaving out Brange was not a possibility that anyone would have considered. Are they actually trying to increase their credibility?

Or…

Was there a bigger promise on the table for them in exchange for slamming the door in Angelina Jolie’s face?

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks there was a deal on the table. Perhaps a Team Aniston celebrity conglomerate that mobilised at exactly the right time. Jennifer Aniston just flexed her power. Turns out she has a lot more of it than she ever let on. Good game, Jennifer Aniston. Good f-cking game.

And . . .

Jennifer Aniston Gets Golden Globe Nomination & Angelina Jolie Doesn't? Let's Take The High Road, Team Jen

From the time Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston first announced their divorce, I was Team Jen all the way. As a diehard Friends fan (then and now), I even had a Team Jen baseball tee that I wore to school on a regular basis back when the Aniston vs. Angelina Jolie drama was at its height. And after Thursday morning’s Golden Globes nominations, it seems their rivalry will never end. Jennifer Aniston was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Cake, but Jolie was nowhere to be found on the list for her work in Unbroken. And obviously, fans of Aniston have immediately taken this as an opportunity to settle the score.

“My fave was nominated and yours wasn’t,” is a normal reaction for any serious fan or Hollywood devotee, right? But in this case, I don’t think we should go there. As much as I’d love to hold a grudge with Jolie for something that happened almost ten years ago — and, all things considered, probably wasn’t even her fault — I simply can’t. She’s an awesome mom and made a great Maleficent. And where Golden Globes nominations are concerned, she totally deserved one. Not because Aniston didn’t, but because they’re both supremely talented actresses who should be honored for that talent.

To say that there isn’t a competition between Aniston and Jolie would be wrong, because there is — it just doesn’t stem from the fact that they have been married to the same man. It’s because they’re both in the same field of work, and that competition doesn’t mean we should gloat when one of them receives a Golden Globes nomination. It should mean that Jolie and Aniston should both work hard for meaningful roles and let the competition drive them — and we, as fans, should continue to support any female who’s kicking *** in the entertainment industry or any other industry for that matter, despite the fact that they’re rumored to have fought over a man. In fact, that silly, most likely fabricated fight should be the farthest thing from our minds

So while it would be super easy to tweet things like this:

ViDevi @ViDevi2
Jennifer Aniston gets at least momentary revenge on Angelina Jolie.
#Cake - 1. #Unbroken - 0.
2:23 AM - 11 Dec 2014

It would actually be way more satisfying to congratulate Aniston without shaming Jolie in the same breath and then enjoy the incredible movies both of them brought us this year. I will always be Team Jen at heart, just like I was in tenth grade — but the feud is over. Time to let it go.

Golden Globe nominations are often bought. All it takes is a gold Rolex, but heaven knows, those Hollywood Foreign Press people, comprised of 81 journalists and critics, must have so many already. (Pia Zadora, The Tourist, etc.)

Jen put up her own money to finance and distribute this film (according to the Hollywood Reporter) because the producers didn't have any of their own and no studio wanted to distribute it. Another few Rolexes mean nothing, in term of her initial investment.

And don't anyone yell at me, it's the way Hollowed often works. It must also mean she truly believed in her project. Or that she wants an award, one or the other.
