Aniston to attend Oscars with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Jennifer Aniston will reportedly take centrestage at the Oscar ceremony, where her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Angelina Jolie will also be present as they have been nominated in the the best actor and actress category.

"Jen will own the night. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie might be nominated, but Los Angeles is Jen's town," said a friend in a press statement.

Pitt is nominated in the best actor category for his performance in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", while Jolie is nominated for the best actress for "Changeling".

And Aniston is invited to present an award at the gala event that will take place Feb 22.

"She was a good girl and pulled back during the Golden Globes even though she had the hottest movie out 'Marley and Me'. And at the time of the Oscars, the movie is likely to be at the top of the box office," added the friend.

The former "Friends" star had recently slammed Jolie by calling her "uncool" in an interview with Vogue.

Jennifer's boyfriend John Mayer has also been persuading her to take on Pitt and Jolie at Hollywood's hottest night of the year.

John reportedly said: "You've got to go. Why do you hide in this town? You have every reason to be there.

By presenting at the Oscars, you'll tell the world: 'I don't care about Brad and Angie. I belong here, too.'"

Jessica Alba lashes out at Bill O'Reilly

Jessica Alba took to her blog to defend herself after right-wing TV news pundit Bill O'Reilly suggested that the actress was “dumb”. The Sin City star used her MySpace.com blog to defend herself after O''Reilly called her "misguided" for poking fun at a journalist during an inauguration event last week, reports Us magazine.

The new mum asked the reporter what he liked most about new U.S. President Barack Obama, and when he refused to answer, she joked, "That's it, be neutral. Be Sweden about it." Following the comment, TMZ.com called her a "ditz" and an "arrogant buffoon" for saying Sweden instead of Switzerland when referring to the neutral country during WWII.

O'Reilly whom Alba had called an "a-hole" at the same event also called her "misguided" for mixing up the countries. But on her blog, Alba writes, "I find it depressing that, in the midst of perhaps the most salient time in our country's history, individuals are taking it upon themselves to encourage negativity and stupidity.

"Last week, Mr. Bill O'Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e. TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country. "I appreciate the fact that he is a news anchor and that gossip sites are inundated with intelligent reporting, but seriously people... it's so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland."

She then linked to a wikipedia article to prove Sweden was also a neutral country. Added Alba, "I appreciate the name calling and the accurate reporting. Keep it up!!"

Shahid Kapur gets too close to Priyanka Chopra

Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra has done a grave mistake by not making her relationship with actor Harman Baweja public. Now, rumourmongers are all out to link her to every man she meets. This time, it is actor Shahid Kapoor.

Shahid-Priyanka duo were in the news for their hot scenes in Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminay, including a kissing scene. Now, their off-screen closeness has made the unit of the film suspicious. It is said that they look more like lovers than just friends.

Well, we can't rule out the rumour because Priyanka has not admitted Harman as her boyfriend.
