Jennifer Aniston is returning to television!!! In her first role since her Emmy-winning turn on 'Friends', the actress is teaming up with Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon for a morning show drama series, which has received a two-season order from Apple.

DEADLINE: Apple is making an official entry into the scripted series arena under Jamie Erlicht & Zack Van Amburg, heads of the recently formed worldwide video programming division. In a competitive situation, with multiple networks pursuing, Apple has landed the hot morning show drama series project, executive produced by and starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, with a two-season, straight-to-series order. It is one of the first two original scripted series at Apple, along with Amazing Stories, a reimagining of the anthology from Steven Spielberg and Bryan Fuller, which has closed a deal for a straight-to-series order.

Apple is believed to be employing a model similar to Netflix’s, with straight-to-series orders and premiums over cost, which vary from show to show. Coincidentally, Netflix also made a splash in the original scripted series space by outbidding traditional networks with a two-season straight-to-series order for a hotly pursued drama package that had a big star attached, House Of Cards.

The morning show series, which will produce 10 episodes a season, comes from studio Media Res, with founder Michael Ellenberg also executive producing. Based on an original idea by Ellenberg, the series is written and executive produced by Jay Carson (House of Cards), who will serve as showrunner. It is described as an inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning, exploring the unique challenges faced by the women (and men) who carry out this daily televised ritual.

The drama marks the return to TV for former Friends star Aniston and a followup to the Emmy-winning first installment of HBO limited series Big Little Lies for Witherspoon. (A second installment is in the works.) The series also reunites the duo after Witherspoon’s guest star turn as Aniston’s sister on Friends.

Aniston executive produces through her Echo Films banner; Witherspoon through her Hello Sunshine production company, and Ellenberg through Media Res. Under the model employed by Media Res, Witherspoon and Aniston will have ownership in the series.

Blake Lively, Chris Evans, Ciara, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Ryan Reynolds, Taylor Lautner and Zendaya are featured on the second part of our ninth annual list of the 50 Most Beautiful People of 2016, which will continually be revealed throughout the day and conclude with the unveiling of our Most Beautiful Man and Woman of 2016.

With her new movie 'Office Christmas Party' in theaters on December 9th, Jennifer Aniston graces the December issue of Marie Claire and in the issue, the 47-year-old actress sounds off on her husband Justin Theroux, being shamed for her body and divorce from Brad Pitt, how she picks her acting roles and what is next for her. Read excerpts from the interview beneath:

On Justin Theroux: "Why is he the right person for me? All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state. There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much. And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him."

On Her Huffington Post Op-Ed: "My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed. It's like, Why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it? I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."

On Picking Acting Roles: "You have to be so madly in love with it and think, I will be so upset if I don't go and play this person...Especially these days, with Justin in Melbourne. It has to be worth it."

On What's Next: "This is a time when I'm not completely sure what I'm doing. I'm at this sort of crossroads trying to figure out what inspires me deep in my core. What used to make me tick is not necessarily making me tick any- more ... The most challenging thing right now is trying to find what it is that makes my heart sing."

Jennifer Aniston, who will next be seen in the comedy 'Office Christmas Party' in December, rarely responds to rumors about her life, but she has finally had enough and speaks out about body shaming and the pressures put on women in a powerful op-ed piece for The Huffington Post, which is simply entitled "For the Record". Read her spot-on article and sound off below:

For The Record

Let me start by saying that addressing gossip is something I have never done. I don’t like to give energy to the business of lies, but I wanted to participate in a larger conversation that has already begun and needs to continue. Since I’m not on social media, I decided to put my thoughts here in writing.

For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of “journalism,” the “First Amendment” and “celebrity news.”

Every day my husband and I are harassed by dozens of aggressive photographers staked outside our home who will go to shocking lengths to obtain any kind of photo, even if it means endangering us or the unlucky pedestrians who happen to be nearby. But setting aside the public safety aspect, I want to focus on the bigger picture of what this insane tabloid ritual represents to all of us.

If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then clearly I am an example of the lens through which we, as a society, view our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues. The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing. The way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, measured against some warped standard of beauty. Sometimes cultural standards just need a different perspective so we can see them for what they really are — a collective acceptance... a subconscious agreement. We are in charge of our agreement. Little girls everywhere are absorbing our agreement, passive or otherwise. And it begins early. The message that girls are not pretty unless they’re incredibly thin, that they’re not worthy of our attention unless they look like a supermodel or an actress on the cover of a magazine is something we’re all willingly buying into. This conditioning is something girls then carry into womanhood. We use celebrity “news” to perpetuate this dehumanizing view of females, focused solely on one’s physical appearance, which tabloids turn into a sporting event of speculation. Is she pregnant? Is she eating too much? Has she let herself go? Is her marriage on the rocks because the camera detects some physical “imperfection”?

I used to tell myself that tabloids were like comic books, not to be taken seriously, just a soap opera for people to follow when they need a distraction. But I really can’t tell myself that anymore because the reality is the stalking and objectification I’ve experienced first-hand, going on decades now, reflects the warped way we calculate a woman’s worth.

This past month in particular has illuminated for me how much we define a woman’s value based on her marital and maternal status. The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time... but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children. In this last boring news cycle about my personal life there have been mass shootings, wildfires, major decisions by the Supreme Court, an upcoming election, and any number of more newsworthy issues that “journalists” could dedicate their resources towards.

Here’s where I come out on this topic: we are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. Let’s make that decision consciously, outside of the tabloid noise. We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own “happily ever after” for ourselves.

I have grown tired of being part of this narrative. Yes, I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know. But I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way, as our celebrity news culture would lead us all to believe. I resent being made to feel “less than” because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: “pregnant” or “fat.” Not to mention the painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated by friends, coworkers and strangers alike on one’s fictional pregnancy (often a dozen times in a single day).

From years of experience, I’ve learned tabloid practices, however dangerous, will not change, at least not any time soon. What can change is our awareness and reaction to the toxic messages buried within these seemingly harmless stories served up as truth and shaping our ideas of who we are. We get to decide how much we buy into what’s being served up, and maybe some day the tabloids will be forced to see the world through a different, more humanized lens because consumers have just stopped buying the bullshit.

Jennifer Aniston, who stars in the forthcoming movie 'Mother's Day', has been named the World's Most Beautiful Woman by PEOPLE magazine, and the Emmy winner reveals that she was "very, very flattered" when she first heard the big news.

"I thought, 'Oh my God,'" the 47-year-old actress tells the publication in this week's cover story. "There was this sort of very excited, teenage-y kind of moment."

Other beauties featured on the annual list include Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara, KeKe Palmer, Selena Gomez, Meagan Good, Carrie Underwood, Christina Milan and more.

With her new film 'Mother's Day' set for a April 29th release, Jennifer Aniston graces the April issue of Harper's Bazaar, where she dishes on her normal marriage to actor Justin Theroux, being a little embarrassed by some of her films and taking control by embracing her age.

On Her Normal Marriage:
"Married life is so normal and fun and not much different. We felt married for so long."

On Being Embarrassed Of Some Of Her Films:
"There was a time when I worked and worked and worked. I loved it. I'm trying to be better at that. I'm a bit of a people pleaser. I've got to stop. Some of the movies I've made, I bow my head in slight shame over."

On Embracing Her Age:
"I feel better in my 40s. Not only do you feel better in your body physically, but you're mentally better. Because, say, in your 20s, you didn't know s--it. For me, in my 30s I was just trying to figure it all out. Then when you hit 40, you're like, 'Oh, okay. I got this."

Jennifer Aniston has been holding screenings left and right for 'Cake', the tiny little film that has thrust her into the conversation to possibly land a Best Actress nomination at the 2015 Academy Awards, and now the first full-length trailer has emerged.

In the forthcoming film, which co-stars Sam Worthington, Felicity Huffman and Anna Kendrick, Aniston plays Claire Bennett, a woman who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife. Watch the trailer beneath:

Halle Berry did it with 'Monster's Ball', Charlize Theron did it with 'Monster' and now, Jennifer Aniston is shedding her glamorous image in hopes of securing an Academy Award for Best Actress or at the least, a nomination for her performance in 'Cake'.

In the film, which will see a one-week qualifying run in December, Aniston plays Claire Bennett, a woman who initiates a dubious relationship with a widower while confronting fantastical hallucinations of his dead wife. The film itself got so-so reviews, but Aniston was praised and even though she has lots of competition (Reese Witherspoon, Rosamund Pike and Julianne Moore), she just might pull off a nomination. Watch the entire cast talk about the film beneath:

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis are back in action for 'Horrible Bosses 2', the sequel to the 2010 hit that $209 million worldwide, and before you ask, yes Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and a sex-crazed/scen-stealing Jennifer Aniston also return.

In this film, which hits theaters during Thanksgiving week, the three guys decide to start their own business but things don't go as planned and they are forced to try to pull off a misguided kidnapping scheme. Watch the trailer for the Sean Anders-directed film beneath:

Jennifer Aniston, who will next be seen in the comedy 'We Are the Millers' on August 7th, get dressed up and shows off her gorgeous legs for the September 2013 issue of Glamour magazine, which hits newsstands on Tuesday, August 6th.

For the interview, the 44-year-old beauty participates in a Q&A session with her co-star Jason Sudeikis and opens up about her fiance Justin Theroux, his paternal instincts and why she now believes that happiness is a choice. Read some excerpts beneath:

On Happiness:
"You can undo a lot of things. If you're not happy, you can become happy. Happiness is a choice. That the thing I really feel."

On Her Fiance, Justin Theroux, & His Paternal Instincts:
"Justin has extremely amazing paternal instincts. Because [growing up] he had to sort of become the parent. I think when you have to become a parent when you're a younger person, you learn those instincts."

Jennifer Aniston is finally getting her happily ever after. The 43-year-old movie actress and her 'Wanderlust' co-star beau Justin Theroux are engaged, after he popped the big question at his 41st birthday gathering on Friday, August 10th.

Her rep confirmed the engagement to US Weekly and Justin's rep added that her acceptance was an "extraordinary gift".  The pair has been dating for 18 months.

On Thursday (February 16th), Jennifer Aniston was the center of attention at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film 'Wanderlust', which took place at the Mann Village Westwood Theatre. The movie will hit in theaters on February 24th.

The beautiful actress was joined by her beau Justin Theroux (not shown) and the film's leading man Paul Rudd, whom she greeted with a hug and posed with on the red carpet. I am loving her black-and-white patterned Tom Ford creation.

Actress Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, who star together in the new feature film 'Wanderlust', jointly grace the March 2012 cover of GQ, in fun photo shoot.

The 43-year-old star puts the baby rumors to rest by showing off her incredibly toned stomach and body in an array of revealing outfits. She looks G-R-E-A-T!!
