In other news, Jen has been chosen as the Sexiest Woman of All Time, rightfully so in our opinion, of course, by Men’s Health magazine.
You can read their criteria (as sexiness is subjective) as well as a short interview with Jen at the link.
If you could name one woman the sexiest of all-time, who would you have picked?
It’s a tie between Bridgette Bardot and Gloria Steinem. But if I had to choose one, I’d say Gloria because, well, she’s the full package. That’s sexy.
Looking back, who is the least sexy character you’ve ever played?
The least sexy character was Jeannie Bueller on the TV version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
You’re one of few celebrities out there without a Twitter or Facebook account. If we gave you the reigns to both of ours for a single post, what would you want our readers to know?
One single post… what would I want readers to know… I really shouldn’t be holding these reigns.
Most of our guys are funny and fit. Besides six-pack abs and the ability to make you laugh, what’s the next-sexiest quality that a guy can have?
Sexiest thing about a man—other than abs—is if he can make me laugh, has compassion, kindness, and an accurately sized ego.
You’ve given dozens of interviews to men’s magazines over the years. What’s something surprising that most men still don’t know about you?
What readers don’t know: I can breakdance. No, that’s a lie. But wouldn’t that be cool?
She is also in the January edition of InStyle magazine, sharing some beauty tips, so check it out!
Watch Jen interact with the adorable Hayli and her mom in this year’s PSA for St. Jude’s Thanks & Giving campaign here.
Jennifer has also written a post for The Huffington Post with Marlo Thomas to bring awareness to St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital. You can read their post here.
“Hi, Marlo and Jennifer here-posting together!
For a few years, we had a great time playing mother and daughter on Friends. Not only did we share tons of laughs together (and who couldn’t laugh on the set of Friends?), but we also discovered that our most famous TV characters had a shared legacy as women. In a way, Friends’ Rachel Green was not all that different from That Girl’s Ann Marie — they were both independent, strong-minded and funny. So I guess you could say that, in the annals of TV history, we’re cross-generational soul-sisters!

Since 2006, Jen has donated her time and talent by filming spots for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, sharing the screen with one or more of our adorable St. Jude kids. You’ve probably seen the spots on TV (or in movie theaters, or even on airplanes). One mother did, and it changed her life. She had a very sick little girl named McKenna, whose symptoms — chronic headaches — persisted, even after several consultations with the family doctor. Then the mom saw one of Jen’s St. Jude spots, featuring a child with brain cancer, who had suffered the same symptoms. Empowered by what she saw, she rushed her daughter to St. Jude for treatment. That little girl is alive today.
McKenna’s mom wrote Jennifer a touching letter, thanking her for guiding her to St. Jude — and for Jen, the experience was profoundly moving. Can you imagine anything more rewarding than knowing that you somehow helped save a child’s life?”
It’s that time of the year again. St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and Jennifer, alongside Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, George Lopez, Shaun White, Dwyane Wade, singer Luis Fonsi and St. Jude National Outreach Director Marlo Thomas, are teaming up with the patients of St. Jude to tell us about their mission of saving these adorable children.
Check out the trailer and look forward to a special TV spot with Jennifer and Hayli, which is supposed to debut on November 22.
Jennifer is nominated at the 2012′s People’s Choice Awards in the categories Favorite Comedic Movie Actress and Favorite Movie Actress. You can vote for her here (Comedic Actress) and here (Movie Actress).
Two of Jennifer’s close friends are also nominated. Courteney Cox for Favorite TV Comedy Actress and Ellen DeGeneres for Favorite Day Time Host.
Tonight, the 2011′s Glamour Women of the Year awards will be held at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Jennifer will present Chelsea Handler with The Queen of the Night award. We don’t have any details other than that for now. But you can follow Glamour on Twitter for some live-tweeting.
Here we go, people! Check it out! And count the days until February 24, 2012…
Jennifer has been a longtime supporter of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. According to a recent press release, she will be in their annual Thanks & Giving campaign again this year.
“Starting this November, Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Morgan Freeman, George Lopez, Shaun White, Dwyane Wade and singer Luis Fonsi will join Marlo Thomas in helping raise awareness and funds for St. Jude, one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly childhood diseases.

All the spots, as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, will debut at www.stjude.org on Nov. 22.

‘It’s always so inspiring to meet the St. Jude patients and their families each year,” said Jennifer Aniston, who appears alongside St. Jude patient Hayli in one of this year’s television spots. “They have this incredible strength and spirit that remind you that although they are just kids they are fighting for their lives against a very adult disease.’”
