She's sick of everyone's opinions.
Jennifer Aniston has endured endless bullying in the press for decades, and she still doesn't see an end in sight. The actress, however, has learned to come to terms with it and not give it much power.
“I don’t think it’s getting much better. I think the problem is the tabloids and the gossip columns taking the human body and putting it in a category. They’re either fat-shaming, or body-shaming, or childless-shaming. I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human,†she recently told Vogue.
She's genuinely confused about the fascination with her personal life and individual choices.
"It’s a weird obsession that people have and I don’t understand exactly why they need to take people who are out there to entertain you, and rip them apart and bully them? I couldn’t hear this narrative anymore about being pregnant or not pregnant; you have no idea what is going on personally in our lives and why that is or is not happening and it feels … In my own brain, I’ve shifted my perspective, so who gives a s—?!†she continued.
Same goes for all that body shaming!
"If you’re going to walk out and have your nipples showing, or your belly is a little bloated, or you’re not at the weight you want to be — you are perfect no matter what you are and no matter where you are and who cares!†she added.

For the first time that we've seen, since Ben Affleck went public with his new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus, the actor reunited with estranged wife Jennifer Garner and his kids Sunday night for dinner in Brentwood and we've got the EXCLUSIVE pix!
Ben looked a little tired and a little uninvolved as Jen and the couple's three children Violet, Seraphina and Samuel met up for dinner at new pizza hotspot Pizzana, owned by Jen's pal, NCIS star Chris O'Donnell.
And while family dinners and co-parenting are certainly a good thing, our photographer on the scene says it wasn't perfect: "Ben was checking his phone and had a smug look on his face. You couldn't tell if he was annoyed at having to do family dinner or if he was uncomfortable with his kids after having officially jumped ship on the family."
As the fivesome waited for the car at the valet, Ben looked unengaged and even annoyed. Bookworm Violet -- who brought her favorite read to dinner -- had something important to tell her parents about the book's plotline and Ben looked ... uninterested. Little Samuel appeared to vie for his dad's attention and jumped into his arms at one point. It's gotta make Ben melt, right?! But we never saw Ben crack a smile :(

Kate Hudson has no shame! And why should she? The gorgeous actress exposed her shaved head as she headed to a party in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles with boyfriend Danny Fujikawa. And not only did she show off her shorn head, she puckered and primped in the mirror as her boyfriend chauffeured her across town for the get-together.
The pair was dressed in their hipster finest and Kate donned a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a scarf as she got out of the car and headed into the house party in the rock-n-roll residential area.
As we all know by now, Kate's new look is for a super-secret film project directed by the singer Sia. The entire production has been silent on deets about the project so we're dying to know ... what's it about, Kate?

John Legend isn't afraid of speaking his mind! The Grammy-winning singer took to Twitter to slam President Donald Trump's insufficient response to the Charlottesville attack and demonstration and the Senate's silence following the horrible events that unfolded on the University of Virginia campus yesterday.
But first, lemme take a selfie! We caught up with John and wife Chrissy Teigen posing with fans the other day before the couple, along with the rest of the nation, watched in awe and disgust as demonstrators clashed at UVA and, eventually, a psycho idiot rammed his car into a crowd of protestors speaking about against the racists who were there spewing hate. John was fed up by the time he took to Twitter to call out Speaker of the House Paul Ryan ...
He replaied to Speaker Ryan's Tweet that said "hate and its terrorism must be confronted and defeated," by writing, "Impeach the white supremacist in the White House or STFU." Uh, yeah. Sounds about right!
Meanwhile, lots of other celebs weighed in on the tragedy that left Heather Heyer, 32, dead from the insane attack-by-car of a 20-year-old dumbass. Miley Cyrus Tweeted, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." Ellen DeGeneres wrote: "Is this America now? We cannot let this sand. #Charlottesville" Madonna -- always slightly incorrect in her political attacks -- seemed to question the 1st Amendment: "Why is this happening ?? Why is our government protecting these people??? This is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!" Well, yes it is, Madge, but we always have freedom of speech. That said, why'd police let this get so out of hand?!
Lady Gaga Tweeted at the President and encouraged others to do the same: "Tweet @realDonaldTrump & tell him how you think he could #BeKind and be a better leader. #ThisIsNotUS #BeKind #Charlottesville #POTUS"

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are still going strong!
If anyone doubted, these two are still together and laughing it up ... spending Friday evening at LA's The Laugh Factory taking in some hilarious stand-up.
Perhaps comedy clubbing is the new nightclubbing, as Ben Affleck and lady love Lindsay Shookus also recently spent date night at an LA-area comedy club.
Gomez, 25, and her singer beau, 27, were featured on the club's social media accounts in a pic showing the couple cuddling in the balcony of the club, laughing. The evening's lineup included Jonathan Kite of 2 Broke Girls fame, among others -- most of whom Selena indulged in selfies after the show.
The infamously low-profile couple was last seen July 25th, out and about in LA, grabbing coffee on Gomez's birthday.

The single life does a body good! At least for Ben Affleck, it does. Check out that HUGE smile on Batman's face! We caught up with Ben at the Brentwood Country Mart where he bought a gift for someone at the book store. Hmm ... coffee table hardcover for Lindsay, perhaps?
Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner, as usual, was on mommy duty with daughters Violet and Seraphina as she ran errands in the Palisades, stopping by the pharmacy for the necessities. The whole family's back in LA together ... but apart. Ben's in his Brentwood bachelor pad, which happens to be a 9000-square-foot mansion, and Jen's holding down the fort at the family home.
Sure seems like Ben's made peace with his impending divorce from Garner -- perhaps having girlfriend Lindsay to lean on has softened the blow of the separation. Jen, however, seems to be handling this new life with a business-as-usual approach, keeping her chin up for the sake of her three children.
Cute thing to note: Seraphina's paying tribute to her dad's upcoming turn as Batman with her Justice League T-shirt. Who doesn't love a superhero dad -- adorable!

Who knows what to believe these days!
Bella Thorne squeezed in a workout in Hollywood yesterday, and she wasn't her usually chatty self when our videographer asked her about Scott Disick! We wonder why?
The actress is now dating rapper Blackbear after months of a secret hookups with The Lord, and although she says she was never "sexual" with Kourtney Kardashian's ex, we think she's lying. According to a new report from Star, the pink haired beauty and LD got it on during her shoot for Liam Payne's music video!
"He arrived halfway through and Bella said she needed ‘a break. Then they locked themselves in her trailer! She told everyone to go away and carried on fooling around with Scott. It was rude, crude and lewd," a source dished to the mag.
The 19-year-old wild child sounds like she doesn't know what she wants! Blackbear might want to think twice before assuming they're in an exclusive relationship.
"She’s still single as far as she is concerned. She’s just having fun and dating around. She doesn’t want to make anything serious with anyone right now. Anyone who likes her shouldn’t get the wrong idea," a source told Hollywood Life.
