How to Cast: Jennifer Aniston

jennifer_anistonIn yet ANOTHER romantic comedy, what else? Aniston’s set to star in Pumas, a story which, Variety reports, centers on two 30+ women (one being Jen, of course) who like to go cougaring for young guys and take a French skiing vacation to explore this habit — except it doesn’t quite go as planned. What, they end up marrying 70-year-old men instead?  Jen, please make it stop.

Then there’s Charlize Theron. She’s going out there to right the wrongs done to women in the Middle East. According to Variety, Theron will produce and star in Florence of Arabia, playing a State Dept. worker who — after her friend marries a prince and gets beheaded — fights for women’s rights in a fictional Middle Eastern country by creating a women’s TV network. Apparently this is based on a book that is far more satirical than serious. I’d be into that.
