More heart break for 'unlucky in love' Aniston

It looks like fresh heartbreak for Friends star Jennifer Aniston. Reports are coming through that she has split from her latest Beau, musician John Mayer.

Having recently turned 40 Aniston's latest relationship breakdown must leave her wondering if she is ever going to find true happiness. It must also be particularly galling when she looks over her shoulder and sees former love Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie playing happy families with their myriad of kids.

Aniston and Mayer hooked up last April and their relationship has been bit rocky but their appearance together at the Oscars seemed to be a sign of it getting on the right track, sadly it is not to be.

OSCARS : The Brits came, saw and conquered

What a night for Brits at the Oscars. Kate Winslet wins the Best Actress award for The Reader, and SlumDog Millionaire lives up to the hype as it sweeps the board with eight Oscars including Best film.

As usual Kate Winslet was emotional, but not a patch on her over top performance at the Golden Globes.


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on the other hand did not have a such good night as despite 13 nomination it went home with 'only' three wins, all in the somewhat unglamorous categories of Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effect and Best Make Up.

In other words awards for technical input rather than acting. In particular it must have been galling for Brad Pitt as this was his big chance to grab an Oscar, sadly it was not to be.

Having seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button I am not surprised though, I though it was too very similar to Forrest Gump, with a weaker story albeit more visually stunning.
