Jennifer Aniston Beats Marilyn Monroe In The Style Stakes

The glamour of Miss Monroe may have been unrivalled for years as women worldwide try to emulate her look, but now it appears that British women have moved on to the girl-next-door look.

Hollywood beauties such as Winslet, Aniston, Cameron Diaz and Rachel McAdams beat the classical ladies like Elizabeth Taylor and Monroe in a poll carried out by Venus Embrace.

According to the findings, women find it easier to copy the look of modern-day actresses over the unobtainable glamour of previous beauty sirens.

Rather than bold red lips and immaculately groomed hair that used to be the true signs of glamour, now hair-free legs and a toned body are the necessary ingredients.

Speaking on behalf of Venus Embrace’s research, make-up artist to the stars, Tina Earnshaw, says that this shift in icon following is because of technology.

‘The challenge with this understated look is with the advancement of cinematic technologies such as high-definition, every detail is visible on screen which means fine flaws such as smudged make-up or rogue hairs are easily detected.’

The Top 10 goddesses according to the Venus Embrace poll are:

1 Jennifer Aniston

2 Kate Winslet

3 Sophia Loren

4 Marilyn Monroe

5 Cameron Diaz

6 Rachel McAdams

7 Elizabeth Taylor

8 Julie Christie

9 Kate Bosworth

10 Raquel Welsh

Christine Baranski Still Wants To Meet Jennifer Aniston

Actress Christine Baranski has been around (professionally, that is), but one place she hasn’t been is in the same room with Jennifer Aniston, even though the two had scenes together in the current release, “The Bounty Hunter.”

“This is funny — all I did with Jennifer Aniston is talk to her over the phone,” she told “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. “I have never met her. I never got to meet her. We did phone scenes … I still cannot wait to meet Jennifer Aniston.”

Baranski’s legal drama “The Good Wife,” starring Julianna Margulies, is getting a reputation for being pleasantly unpredictable — and real-life events apparently will continue to fuel the stories.

“It’s been incredible, it’s the gift that keeps giving,” Baranski said, referring to a spate of men fallen from grace.

“When we shot the pilot it was just kind of Elliot Spitzer and then it was just kind of one guy after another. … Spitzer is going to be getting back into the game apparently, and, that’s what next season’s about.”

“It’s a very pertinent show.”

Jennifer Aniston Repairs Strained Relationship With Hospitalized Mom

The former “Friends” star, 41, cut her mom, Nancy, a retired actress, out of her life in 1996 when she revealed all about her famous daughter’s private life on an entertainment TV show.

They patched up their differences following Aniston’s split from ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2005 but their relationship reportedly remained strained.

However, Aniston has stepped up to help cover her mom’s medical bills after learning Nancy had to undergo surgery when she tripped and fell as she left a church in Northridge, Calif., earlier this month.

Nancy suffered a fractured hip and femur and is now recovering in a rehabilitation center, according to the National Enquirer.

A source tells the tabloid, “When Jen got word of her mom’s catastrophic fall, she contacted Nancy’s doctors and made sure all of her medical costs were taken care of.”

The insider admits Aniston and her mom are still working on mending their relationship: “There are unresolved issues, but Jen loves her mom. She wants a healthy relationship and felt the least she could do was help Nancy in her time of need.”

Ennifer Aniston: Go Directly To Cougar Town!

“I hope she comes on,” Philipps told us at this weekend’s 31st Annual College Television Awards in Hollywood. “She’s lovely. I’ve hung out with her with Courteney. She seems adorable.”

And what kind of role would Philipps like to see Aniston tackle?

“I think it would be fun to see her be really mean,” Philipps said. “That was what Lisa Kudrow did a little bit. She was mean to Courteney, and it was fun for me to see because I’m a huge Friends fan. Anything [Aniston] would want to do I think would be great.”

Hey, if another Friends reunion doesn’t work out on Cougar Town, how about inviting someone from Dawson’s Creek? Philipps, who played Audrey Liddell on Dawson’s, says she recently spoke to former costar James Van Der Beek. “I just talked to him!” she said. “He called me to tell he’s having a baby…He’s going to be an amazing dad. I’m really happy for him.”
