GOING SOLO

Jennifer Aniston ate the same lunch every single day for the 10 years Friends filmed. There is a certain kind of person who will roll their eyes and find that completely tedious... and a different kind of person who will find it utterly endearing, and be genuinely interested in what that lunch was. To the former, get lost, Team Angelinas. To the latter, hello lovely Team Anistons.

And also – a Cobb salad. Jen is celebrating her 50th birthday today and I bet her real-life mates – as opposed to the rest of the world who just feel like we know her – struggled to find the perfect present. Not because she is probably the personification of the woman who has everything, plus presumably has extremely high-end, aka high-budget, taste. But the main reason it would be hard to get Jennifer Aniston the ideal gift is because it’s not available in stores, or online, or anywhere.

It’s obvious what Jen would like most, at this stage in her life. The best thing you could give her is for no one in the world to ever feel sorry for her again just because she’s not married with chil- dren. So simple, yet apparently unattainable.

Because it’s not like she hasn’t come right out and asked for it.

Time and time again, she has reminded us she’s happy, healthy and in a great place. She has pointed out the truth that it’s insulting to insinuate
