I love Tom Hanks and what lovely words he said last night about Jennifer.
I'm pretty sure, Holly girls, that he was at Jen's party since E said he was, but thanks for the quotes.

Tom Hanks Wishes Jennifer Aniston Happy Birthday
February 11, 2009
by: Ani Esmailian

When you're as popular as Jennifer Aniston, an invitation to your birthday is only extended to a select few.

Aniston's 40th birthday bash this last Saturday may have been the hottest ticket in town, but even some of the biggest names in the industry didn't get a chance to attend.

Hollyscoop caught up with Tom Hanks at the Saks Fifth Avenue "Unforgettable Evening" Benefiting EIF's Women's Cancer Research Fund where Gwyneth Paltrow and Courteney Cox were being honored to get his advice on turning 40.

Hanks said, �Life begins at 40. I don't think Jennifer needs any advice from me. I think she is the most lovely woman on the planet. She always has been.

"Sometimes I think the media makes it out to be something else. But I think that�s the story they are trying to sell to some magazines. But she is a beautiful person and she always has been. And I wish her a happy b-day,� Hanks told Hollyscoop.com exclusively.

Tom has looked the same for the last 15 years, so whatever he's doing is clearly working! Now that Jenn knows how fond of her he is, maybe he'll score an invite to her next birthday.

[Click to make Loukoumi bigger - awwwwwwwww]



My kids love when I read them books, so we were very excited to check out the new book featuring Loukoumi, a loveable, cuddly lamb. The book, third in the Loukoumi series, is titled Loukoumi�s Good Deeds and teaches kids the importance of doing good deeds and also includes a bonus CD narrated by Jennifer Aniston and her father, Days of Our Lives star John Aniston.

Loukoumi�s Good Deeds, by author Nick Katsoris, features Loukoumi and her adorable friends � Gus the Bear, Fistiki the Cat, Dean the Dog and Marika the Monkey. My kids loved hearing about Loukoumi�s adventures, and the message really seemed to resonate with them.

The accompanying CD features other famous celebrates in addition to the Anistons � Olympia Dukakis, Gloria Gaynor American Idol�s Constantine Maroulis, Guiding Light star Frank Dicopoulos and CBS News anchor Alexis Christoforous as the voice of Loukoumi. The CD also features a bonus story Loukoumi�s gift, as well as a previous Loukoumi title. A donation of $2 from each book will be made to St. Jude Children�s Research Hospital.

Thanks, Meg. That's really sweet and for a great cause!! Nice to see her doing this project with her father, as well.

^I think people are free to believe whatever they want to. Jen said something a few years back that if everyone out there wished each other well then we would be living in a boring world..lol! so why even focus on changing someone else's point of view of her you know? Her fans love her and I think one should concentrate on that instead of the the ones who don't but thats just me.

Thank you for posting the video. I have to be honest if I had that statue I would be having nightmares.
