Alicia Keys, Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore are three of the most gorgeous directors in Hollywood! The threesome, who directed short films for Lifetime's Five, are gracing the cover of September's Glamour magazine.
Lifetime's Five is comprised of five short films about breast cancer directed by five different directors.
When asked about her involvement, Ms. Aniston tells the mag:
“We were intrigued by the challenge of creating short stories that would defy audiences’ expectation of the subject. We wanted to balance the drama with humor and irreverence because that’s what’s helped our friends who’ve faced this get through their treatment."
The Friends star, who is dating Justin Theroux, also address the tabloids:
“There’s not nearly as much stealing and obsessing and middle-of-the-night secret calls to ex-boyfriends and scheming and cheating [as they lead you to believe]. Most of it’s just bulls—, however entertaining.â€

Sinead O'Connor made headlines a few weeks ago when pics of her looking overweight surfaced. Now, those looks are affecting her sex life.
Sinead, 44, posted on her blog that she is looking for someone to have sex with -- a person who "must be blind enough to think I'm gorgeous." She writes:
"My sh-uation sexually/affectionately speaking is so dire that inanimate objects are starting to look good as are inappropriate and/or unavailable men and/or inappropriate and/or unavailable fruits and vegetables. ... I am in the peak of my sexual prime and way too lovely to be living like a nun. and it's VERY depressing."
The "Nothing Compares To You" songstress says she is "so desperate for sex" that she's taking applications, and provides e-mail addresses to which to send said apps.
"If u don't have both sweetness and filth don't apply. ... ALL applicants will receive replies ... there are literally hundreds of applicants ... "
And, women "will also be very much considered."
See the video below for a reminder of the Sinead of the '90s.

Lady Gaga is being accused of creative plagiarism again after her VMAs performance -- by Kelly Osbourne!
Osbourne Tweeted about Gaga doing the show as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone:
"i love lady gaga but i wish she would start giving credit where credit is due! example... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovHxAIPV078 1984 PEOPLE!"
Osbourne's link goes to the Eurythmics' 1984 Grammy performance -- when lead singer Annie Lennox performed as a very similar looking man (see video below.)
Earlier this year, Gaga was accused of ripping off her mermaid-in-a-wheelchair bit from another big star of the 80s -- Bette Midler. She's also come under fire for similarities to Madonna, and she was sued this month by a Chicago songwriter for plagiarism with her song "Judas."

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor has barred Dr. Conrad Murray's defense team from using allegations that Michael Jackson molested children in Murray's manslaughter trial.
The defense will also not be allowed to call Jackson's dermatologist to the witness stand.
Pastor said both the molestation trial talk and the dermatologist (Arnold Klein) would be distracting and misleading for the jury. The defense claims that Klein gave Jackson the painkiller Demerol and Jackson was withdrawing from it when he died in 2009.
Jackson died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol complicated by additional meds.
Meanwhile, Janet, Jermaine and Randy Jackson have confirmed that they will not attend an upcoming tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, later this year. Find out why after the jump.
