JENNIFER Aniston shares a smooch with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

The Friends star puckered up after being teased by lesbian Ellen for not rememberin­g the last time she had kissed a girl on the lips.

Jennifer, 50, said: “I don’t kiss girls on the lips, no…” prompting Ellen, 61, to lean in for the kill. After the peck, the A-list actress told her: “You have very soft lips.” PUB chain JD Wetherspoo­n has been blasted for removing history books about Hitler, the Nazis and Italian dictator Mussolini.

A shelf at one of its boozers had been filled with 12 books for drinkers and diners to browse.

But after a horrified customer of The Mary Shelley pub in Bournemout­h spotted them, they wrote a letter of complaint.

A spokesman for the pubs, run by Tim Martin, inset, said the books were bought wholesale and not checked before they were put on the shelf.

The move has divided opinion. One social media post said: “Why not just fill the shelves with more mundane material?” But Broken record wrote: “Education is the best way to prevent history from repeating itself.

“Getting rid of books. Do you know who else did that? That’s right, Hitler. Stand up for yourself Wetherspoo­ns.” Another posted: “It’s history simple as that. If we ignore history we are doomed to repeat it. I have many books on this subject at home.” JD Wetherspoo­n spokesman Eddie Gershon said: “A customer left a note explaining they were not suitable, which we agreed with. The books were disposed of.”
