Jennifer Aniston, Yoko Ono & Cameron Diaz

Aniston intimidates dirt crew

Actress Courtney Cox revealed that the cast and crew were a bit intimidated by pal Jennifer Aniston when the star first stepped onto the sets of Cox’s new show Dirt.

Aniston is getting set to guest-star in Cox’s FX show Dirt as her archenemy Tina Harrod who also happens to be a rival tabloid editor, as well as a lesbian in the show’s season finale.

Cox revealed that it had taken the cast and the crew a day or two before they “loosened up” in Aniston’s presence.

“When she first arrived everyone was really quiet. It was like they were giving her respect and I was like, ‘This is my bud Jen. Come on people, let’s have some fun.’ And by day two everyone was more loose, and by day three we were having a ball,” People quoted her, as saying.

Cox added that everyone involved with the show had come to admire and love not only Aniston’s goofiness, but also her sense of humour.


Yoko regrets lennon affair

Yoko Ono, the widow of late Beatle John Lennon, at times regretted falling in love with him because they had to make a lot of sacrifices for it.

The 73-year-old says that romance with her late husband was still the best thing that had happened to her.

Ono, however, feels that it was all due to their love that Lennon was mocked for his feeling for her, and she was discredited as an artist.

She also had to bear the accusations of pushing Lennon into splitting from The Beatles in 1970.

“But you know, I sometimes regretted that I fell in love, because we sacrificed a lot for it. John was laughed at for being in love with me. And I think I was discredited as an artist,” she said.


Cameron diaz goes green

Cameron Diaz has joined forces with former US vice president Al Gore to promote a new environmental awareness initiative. A 24-hour global event, Live Earth, will start on July 7 and will be similar to Bob Geldof’s Live 8 concert. Massive concerts will be held on every continent — yes, even Antarctica — with Snoop Dogg, Kelly Clarkson and Lenny Kravitz already confirmed to play at the super-gigs.

The In Her Shoes star told the audience at the California Science Centre: “This is the only issue in the history of mankind that affects every single one of us — our planet is in danger. But at least someone is doing something about it.”

Speaking at the announcement’s press conference, the blonde-bombshell was keen to promote a more eco-friendly approach to life in Hollywood: “I’ve been driving a Prius since they came out. I carbon neutralise when I travel. I
