• Jennifer Aniston Has Hired Lisa Taback to Spearhead Her Oscar Push

    We have been talking a lot about Jennifer Aniston's role in the much-anticipated Indie flick, "Cake." When it first premiered last September, there was seemingly bizarre buzz attached to it -- in that insiders were really loving her performance enough to say that she might actually be in award contention. That caused the studio to bump up the release date to make sure that Aniston could be on the ballot this award season. The buzz became real last week when Aniston was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a SAG, but what started off as a shot in the dark has turned into a focused campaign to win with her hiring a top notch strategist, Lisa Taback.

  • Jennifer Aniston Wants to Direct, Produce, Be a 'Superhero'

    Jennifer Aniston has been promoting the heck out of her indie film "Cake," and it seems that with every stop she makes the buzz gets a little bit stronger. Earlier this week, Aniston sat for a Lincoln Center screening of the flick and then attended a Q&A session afterword with costar Anna Kendrick. The ladies took a bunch of questions and Kendrick admitted that the fact that Aniston was producing and acting in "Cake" played a major part in her deciding to do the film. It likely will not be the last time Aniston has more say in her films, either. According to "The Hollywood Reporter," Aniston has only just begun to get her feet wet in the role of producing and it is a process that excites her, possibly more than acting. "That's a bug that gets you once you do it. We're just waiting for the proper window of time and the proper piece of material. There has been a beautiful project that was about to happen that ended up falling apart for all sorts of reasons. ... Maybe it's being a control freak, I don't know, but wanting to be a part of a seed and seeing it turn into something wonderful is exciting. It's fun to explore other areas of our industry other than being an actor-for-hire. It's quite fulfilling," explained Aniston.
