The actress – who plays singleton Kassie who decides to use a friend as a sperm donor to have a baby in new movie “The Switch” – would prefer to conceive a child in the traditional way.

When quizzed by talk show host Jay Leno on whether she would undergo artificial insemination on “The Tonight Show,” she replied: “I’d wanna know the guy!”

Jay continued to tease the 41-year-old Hollywood star actress about the embarrassing subject matter putting her on the spot about how a sperm bank works.

She said: “Well, you go to the bank and you have a card… I honestly don’t know exactly.”

Although she isn’t interested in visiting a sperm bank, Jennifer was recently reported to be visiting a life coach to make her baby dream come true.

The actress – who divorced husband Brad Pitt in 2005, following a five-year marriage – has reportedly been having meetings with Hollywood life strategist Suzannah Galland in a bid to make the right decisions in her life, and fulfill her wish to become a mother.

Suzannah – whose clients reportedly include Naomi Campbell, Demi Moore and Gwyneth Paltrow – said: “So many of my clients are walking around with a big hole in their hearts if they don’t have a family. Many of them think that because they can’t have a family the traditional way it won’t ever happen to them – they don’t consider other viable means, firstly, adoption.”

The “Bounty Hunter” star’s lawyers obtained a temporary restraining order yesterday (July 20, 2010) at a court in Santa Monica to protect her from Jason R. Peyton, who was arrested after spending days trying to find the actress on Sunset Boulevard, California.

In a signed court declaration the actress revealed that “delusional” Peyton had made her fear for her safety.

She stated: “Mr. Peyton has aggressively sought to have personal contact with me and integrate himself into my life. Due to Mr. Peyton’s delusional compulsion and increasingly harassing, stalking and threatening conduct, I have been subjected to a course of conduct which has and is seriously alarming, annoying and harassing me.”

“Mr. Peyton’s ongoing, ever-increasing, aggressive and harassing conduct are extremely distressing. I fear for my personal safety and that of those around me.”

Court documents filed on Tuesday reveal police detained the 24-year-old man – who traveled cross-country in a delusional attempt to marry the former “Friends” star – last week after finding him with a sharp object, duct tape and love notes to her.

Among the messages he had written to himself were brief notes reading “Jen told me she wants me to be the father of her children” and “Call Jen,” as well a s a list of potential baby names.

The filings state Peyton – who had scratched “I love Jennifer Aniston” onto his car – has been accused of stalking others and is disobeying court orders that he must take anti-psychotic medications.

Police reports say he has “a history of violence and criminal stalking.”

The man – who has been diagnosed as a delusional and paranoid schizophrenic was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold by Los Angeles police.

According to court documents, Peyton has said he “won’t stop” his pursuit of the 41-year-old actress.

Under the terms of the restraining order Peyton must stay 100 yards away from the actress’ home, places of work and vehicles. He must also not approach her staff, agents, managers and other representatives.

The 41-year-old actress was reportedly so concerned about looking her age in the Josh Gordon-directed comedy she asked for parts of her body to be changed in the editing process.

A source told UsMagazine.com: “She thought she looked rough – especially in the daytime scenes.”

“She wanted them retouched further, but the studio had already spent its post-production budget. The studio discussed making her foot the bill for any enhancements.”

A representative for the star – who was previously married to Brad Pitt – said: “All films go through print adjustments, and this is no different from the rest.”

Even while filming the movie alongside co-stars Jason Bateman and Patrick Wilson, Jennifer was said to be so concerned about her looks she pulled her hair over her face to cover up lines.

Recently, the leading lady revealed she would like to release a whole range of cosmetics alongside her new perfume Lolavie.

She said: “Anything’s possible. I would hope we get to do many things together. But for the moment I’ll stick with Lolavie and we’ll see how it slides up the flagpole.”

The “Bounty Hunter” star was reported earlier this month to have taken up the Baby Food Cleanse diet- which involves eating 14 portions of pureed food a day followed by a healthy adult dinner – to lose weight, but Jennifer insists she likes to chew her food.

The 41-year-old actress told People magazine: “I’ve been on solids for about 40 years now. Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was one.”

Jennifer was said to have decided to go on the extreme diet, on the recommendation of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, because she wants to look her best for new movie “Just Go With It” – which she is shooting in Hawaii with Adam Sandler and stunning Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker.

A source said: “While in Europe last month, Jennifer relaxed her usually strict diet regime. She knew she had been indulging, and seeing as her upcoming role required her to wear lots of little dresses, she wanted to be at her physical peak.”

Since the reports broke, the former “Friends” star admits she has been left confused by different people asking her about baby food.

She said: “I’ve been asked lately, ‘Jen, what’s this baby food diet all about?’ I kept thinking, ‘That’s the strangest question ever.’”

The actor – who has been repeatedly romantically linked to his “Bounty Hunter” co-star Jennifer Aniston – was spotted looking loved-up with the brunette beauty in Paris as he took her out for dinner and held her hand during a romantic walk along the Champs Elysees earlier this week.

Gerard has apparently been left smitten with Laurie since they met while he was promoting “The Bounty Hunter” in the French capital two weeks ago.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Sparks flew immediately.”

The 29-year-old presenter – who works for French television channel Direct 8 – was seen smiling lovingly at the 40-year-old hunk as they embraced on the street.

After Gerard and Jennifer visited France, they went to publicize the movie in Berlin and Madrid, before the dark-haired hunk seemingly returned to Paris to spend more time with Laurie.

Gerard and Jennifer have always been adamant they are just good friends, however, they sent tongues wagging again last week when he was photographed with his hand on the former “Friends” actress’ butt.

The former “Friends” actress was completely surprised when her pal and co-star bared all for her latest drama series “Cougar Town,” where she plays a woman who embarks on a series of romances with younger men.

Despite her insecurities, Courteney – who has a five-year-old daughter Coco with her husband David Arquette – wanted to shoot the scenes because she felt it was important to show what real women look like.

She said: “I think it was an important thing to do. This show talks about real things and real experiences, so I think I had to. I know my friend Jennifer Aniston was shocked I did it. Some people may not want to show parts of them that are not the very best and that’s alright. I decided to show, and I don’t care. It was important to show the real side of being 40.”

While she was happy to expose her body on screen including flaws, Courteney tries hard to minimize her imperfections with a strict exercise regime.

She explained: “I try really hard. I walk, I run, I do elliptical, I do band work, weights and dance aerobics. I play tennis and I eat really well… But I was also lit very well. Don’t mistake Hollywood lighting for reality!”

“The Bounty Hunter” star Gerard – who is rumored to be romantically linked with his co-star – said his mother got on so well with Jennifer at the premiere of their latest film, she challenged her to a golfing match.

Gerard – whose home country, Scotland is famed for its golf courses – said: “At the premiere, my mom just couldn’t wait to meet Jen. They got on so well that they want to do everything together now.”

“My mom is a golfer and so is Jen and they’re going to play together. And she wants her to come to Scotland so she can show her the sights.”

He also told how his parent managed to interrupt filming of a crucial scene by calling him, but former “Friends” actress Jennifer, 41, was so eager to speak to her she insisted on chatting, rather than going straight for a re-take.

Gerard, 40, added: “In ‘The Bounty Hunter,’ there’s a scene where Jen and I are getting married. I happened to have my cellphone with me and at a crucial moment in the vows my mother actually called me.”

“So I fished it out of the pocket of my tuxedo and I was like, ‘Hello, Mom. Listen, I’m a bit busy. I’m marrying Jennifer Aniston right now.’”

“But Jen took the phone and insisted on talking to her, which was very funny. It was a great way for my mom to meet and have a chat with Jen and they really bonded. And they we were like, ‘We have to hang out.’”

The 41-year-old actress – who is rumored to be dating her “Bounty Hunter” co-star Gerard Butler – has admitted her main goal in life now is to settle down and become a mother.

She said: “I’ve had some wonderful experiences. I hope I’ve reached a point where I’m ready to enjoy being with a great man and having a family together. That’s always been my dream.”

Jennifer has dated several famous hunks since she split from her ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2005, including John Mayer, Vince Vaughn and Paul Sculfor.

The screen beauty believes romances don’t always work because people are too “demanding” and have such “high expectations” about new relationships.

She mused in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: “We’re all a lot more complicated. We’ve also become more wary and more demanding, maybe.”

“Men and women are developing higher expectations and sometimes that creates too much pressure because your partner is not always going to be everything you want.”

“We have to learn to appreciate our differences and enjoy the fact that we all evolve differently over time.”

“If you’re open to that, it can be interesting and you can make that part of your journey together. Relationships are not static things. You have to keep communicating and trying to understand your partner.”

For Jennifer, a successful relationship relies heavily on the ability to work through problems together.

She explained: “Love is the beginning of the process that draws you together, but the intensity and the nature of love is something that evolves as well.”

“We all know that things change over time and you’re constantly dealing with different issues and conflicts. You have to be willing to work things out and try to do it as harmoniously as possible. That’s the tough part.”

“We all come across obstacles and it’s how you deal with conflicts that is probably the most critical part of staying together and focusing on all the things you love about the other person.”

“The biggest thing is being able to face up to all the changes and challenges. It’s hard.”

The actress is godmother to five-year-old Coco – her former “Friends” co-star’s only child with husband David Arquette – and says she is a regular visitor at their house because she wants to spend as much time as she can with her.

She said: “Coco calls me Nuna. I see her almost every weekend and she’s really turning into such a lovely little girl. She’s sweet, funny, and creative and we just sit there in awe of her.”

As well as enjoying time with her goddaughter, Jennifer – who has been romantically linked with her “Bounty Hunter” co-star Gerard Butler – says she is leading a very happy life.

She said: “I’m extremely happy. I have a very simple life. I have great friends and a happy and fulfilling career, I feel very lucky.”

Jennifer loves seeing her girlfriends and has regular nights out with them.

She said: “We always used to meet on a Tuesday and go for Mexican food – Taco Tuesdays, which were great fun.”

The screen beauty – who plays Nicole Hurly, a bail-jumping reporter being pursued by her bounty hunter ex-husband Milo Boyd, portrayed by Gerard, in the movie – insists being chained to one of Hollywood’s biggest hunks has its drawbacks.

When quizzed about what it was like to be handcuffed to the heartthrob, a smiling Jennifer told BANG Showbiz: “It was terrible. No really, it hurt. It was painful, they really cut into my wrists.”

Jennifer was speaking at the gala premiere of the film at the Vue cinema in London’s Leicester Square last night (March 11, 2010), and both she and Gerard braved the cold to meet fans.

Both stars praised everyone for turning out in the freezing temperatures as they addressed the crowd from a stage, although at one point the 41-year-old actress was visibly shivering in her Valentino couture dress and a black jacket designed by the late Alexander McQueen.

Gerard – who has been romantically linked to Jennifer since they met on the set of “The Bounty Hunter” – was greeted by hundreds of screaming female fans but admits he finds it hard to comprehend his sex symbol status.

The 40-year-old Scottish star said: “I’ve always seen myself as a guy who struggles through life, and now everyday people go, ‘What’s it like to be a sex symbol.’”

The “Bounty Hunter” star – who was famously married to Brad Pitt and previously dated Vince Vaughn and John Mayer – says she would consider rekindling an old romance as people can change.

When asked if she would get back with a former lover, Jennifer replied: “Absolutely. When you dated before maybe you were at a time in your life when you’re not ready and not mature enough to make a big commitment. But people change and you learn to accept the good and the bad.”

The 41-year-old screen beauty has been constantly linked to her “Bounty Hunter” co-star Gerard Butler and while she says he’s “lovely,” she insists they’re just good friends.

She said in an interview with UK television program “GMTV”: “Gerry is lovely, he’s a real nice guy. But it seems I get linked to all my co-stars.”

“There seems to be a formula – if you make a movie together, then you must be dating in real life. I don’t know who starts those rumors but I’m learning to ignore them.”

Jennifer and Gerard braved the cold to meet fans at the gala premiere of “The Bounty Hunter” in London’s Leicester Square last night (March 11, 2010).

We loved Jennifer Aniston on Friends. We love her in movies, even ones we aren’t supposed to love. (Rumor Has It…? Not so bad!) But most of all, we love to feel sorry for her.

Is this because she’s pitiable? Or because she is, by her own admission, a “dirty fight[er]“?

See, when Aniston made that recent revelation to Parade our suspicious minds knew exactly what she meant and exactly what she’s done: She’s been “dirty fighting” with our hearts and making us feel bad for her!

Here’s how we suspect she did it:

The Aniston may wield all sorts of clout in this country—but it’s a studio, not a star, that usually dictates when you get to see a film.

And that includes Love Happens, the Aniston-Aaron Eckhart flick that Universal is trying to release, despite an 11th-hour lawsuit from two writers who say the studio stole their script. The writers want a federal judge to halt the release or just, you know, maybe give them $100 million.

If that demand sounds like a joke, wait till you hear what my lawyer friends are saying about the rest of the suit…

Jennifer Aniston looked amazing in her super sexy short dress posing with Aaron Eckhart at the LA premiere of Love Happens last night.

Jennifer was all legs right down to her strappy silver sandals, but the long sleeved top is a bit of a departure from her usual look, which is fun to see.

The movie hits theaters this Friday but is also dealing with some legal issues up to the last minute. While promoting it, Jennifer has been asked a bit about, surprise surprise, her love life, and her fighting style when it comes to relationships, but once the film comes out it’s time for a few deserved months off for the hardworking actress.

Poor Jennifer Aniston. She gets crap no matter what she wears.

When she sports her usual tank-and-loose-pants uniform, she’s a bore.

But when she tries to sex it up, she’s called a slut. But it looks like she finally found a healthy medium with this boho-chic outfit.

Gerard Butler clearly is a fan. They were snapped holding hands after the cameras stopped rolling when Jen wore this dress on set.

If you want to nab your own Scottish hottie, shop the actress’s look for less:

The blue and cream print on Haven’s Capri maxi dress ($113 $79) makes it anything but boring. So people will get distracted when you go on and on about your ex.

Jennifer Aniston joined Gerard Butler for a calm-looking afternoon of filming The Bounty in NYC Wednesday after some recent drama between security and photographers.

Neither Jen nor Gerard seemed to mind joining the ranks of wet celebs while shooting scenes.

Their relationship appears to be strictly professional, but Très wants to know if you think he’s dating material. Another of Jen’s rumored flames appears to be moving on, but she’s got more than enough to keep herself busy.

Oh, don’t stop there. Let’s not forget the corpuscle-strangling dresses Jennifer Aniston wore in The Break-Up or that painted-on tank top she sports in The Bounty, currently in production.

Not everything Aniston wears in mags and movies is tight, of course.

And Aniston wears big overalls in Marley & Me, but under them? Yes! There it is!

A tiny tank!

No, costume designers and wardrobe people tell me, tank tops don’t generally appear in a star’s contracts. But that isn’t to say that stars can’t be total clothing divas. Blind item, anyone?

Gerard Butler wrapped up his time promoting The Ugly Truth in the UK and was back to work on The Bounty yesterday in NYC.

He and Jennifer Aniston were in their familiar blue car, and a suspicious-looking red mark on Gerard’s neck suggests it’s time for the kissing scenes he was so looking forward to.

Meanwhile, Jennifer received an award for narrating a children’s book with her father, though she probably won’t be celebrating in her favorite spot.

The actress considers her house the best restaurant in LA thanks to her chefs, and her friends have nothing but rave reviews for her hosting skills.

Desirable young guys, beware. You are the prey.

And Jennifer Aniston is the hunter, slinking into a role as an older—think thirtysomething—sexpot in the romantic comedy Pumas, reports Variety.

Like fellow Friend Courteney Cox, who’s got her own upcoming animal-themed TV series called Cougar Town, Aniston will play a character who likes youthful beaus.

Look, if Aniston—who looks younger and better than most people half her age—wants to stretch her acting chops like this, we won’t argue. Playing the age card is a good way to get nominated for an Oscar—her ex Brad Pitt did that in Benjamin Button—and we’re sure she’ll be great.

But still, let’s not be sexist: Isn’t it time we see a film about men who chase younger women? It’s time, Hollywood.

You could just call it…Men.

Jennifer Aniston was holding down the fort Friday on the NYC set of The Bounty.

Gerard Butler was elsewhere, but Jennifer had the company of another important male: her dog Norman.

It looks like she’s ready to let him step into the spotlight a little after jokingly saying he needed to keep a low profile following his appearance in Vogue last year.

If Norman sticks around the production site longer, he might be able to celebrate The Ugly Truth’s big weekend at the box office with Gerard.
