We’re so used to Hollywood trying to sell us MTV Movie Award nominee Jennifer Aniston as the girl next door or career woman looking for love, we forgot about the roles that really let her shine: total creeps. Even Friends’ Rachel was more of a flinty jerk than anything Jen has touched on the big screen. As the Horrible Bosses trailer demonstrates, Aniston steals the show as a perverted dentist out to sexually harass the scrubs off her dental assistant. Co-starring with Jamie Foxx, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and It’s Always Sunny‘s Charlie Day, Jen joins Kevin Spacey and a comb over-ed Colin Farrell to form a group of bosses you would kill to get away from…literally. Makes you think twice about getting all those wisdom teeth removed.

Anne Hathaway Goes Nerd Chic At Rio L.A Premiere
Apart from a few misses, we generally love Anne Hathaway’s (photos) sense of style, and her outfit at the L.A premiere for Rio on Sunday is probably going down as our favorite. Anne’s purple fringed Gucci dress and sexy gladiatrix stilettos have us drooling. We don’t exactly get the hipster glasses but she’s lovely enough to pull them off. But we’re counting on you to tell us whether we need to wear glasses for thinking they look good.
We’re also loving Will.I.Am‘s kicky sneakers with the inferno design. But more than anything else, we’re very grateful that Rodrigo Santoro showed up looking as drop-dead sexy as ever. Check out our gallery below for the low-down of celebrities who showed up for the event.

Jamie Foxx Brawls With Ex-Manager During Usher’s Grammy Show
We associate awards season with unflattering couture gowns more than hand-to-hand combat, but after Jamie Foxx got jumped at Usher’s pre-Grammy show last night, we aren’t quite so confident. According to RadarOnline, Foxx fought with his former manager, allegedly duking it out before Usher even finished performing. “Jamie and the other guy started fighting about half way through Usher’s set at around 11:30pm,” their source says. “The fight spilled to the outside area and I don’t think Usher even noticed because the place was so packed with people.” Said the eyewitness, “When they got outside security intervened and after some cops approached both men seemed to make-up with one another before they left.” But…but…but Jamie has an Oscar! We though for sure that guaranteed you’d never have to sucker-punch your way out of a street fight ever again!
MediaTakeOut claims two friends of Foxx’s ex-manager joined in the fight, but Damien Dante Wayans described it as “a little altercation … between two friends” when interviewed by TMZ immediately after the fact. Said MTO’s source, “They didn’t beat [Jamie] too bad, but he definitely got a bunch of fists to the head.” Seems like there are a number of better ways to get a slice of Foxx’s fame other beating him mercilessly. Then again, we’ve never worked with movie stars.

American Idol: Terrible Songs From The American Cinema
Yeeeeeesh. To hear the “Songs From Film” performed on American Idol last night, you’d think that the majority of movies contain really terrible music. And the songs that aren’t automatically terrible, like “Mrs. Robinson,” were somehow made terrible by the especially goat-like voice singing it. (Sorry, Casey James .)
For the second time in as many seasons, Jamie Foxx was on board to mentor and really, he did as well as a singer who relies on Autotune could. We got individual songs from all the contestants which, let’s be frank, were all crap, but we also got two duets (Lee and Crystal singing “Falling Slowly” and Mike and Casey singing “Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman”) that made up for them. For their solos, Lee DeWyze sang “A Kiss From A Rose,” Michael Lynche chose the Michael Jackson song from Free Willy, not to be confused with the SWV song from Free Willy (why did a whale movie have such a hit soundtrack?), Casey sang the aforementioned “Mrs. Robinson”, and Crystal Bowersox covered “I’m Alright” from Caddyshack, which wins points for originality if not for execution (it wasn’t bad, it was just…weird). It was a more entertaining show when we just ignored the singing and mentoring and watched Simon Cowell try to comprehend the state of American cinema and figure out why a movie like Free Willy exists.
Our prediction is that Casey gets eliminated this week. Jon Bon Jovi is performing tomorrow night, so no matter who goes home, we’re hoping he sings them off with “Blaze Of Glory”.
Justin Timberlake To Save Jamie Foxx’s Album
The suits at J Records/ RCA are apparently not too happy with Jamie Foxx‘s upcoming album, so they’ve called in music super hero Justin Timberlake for help. The Oscar-winning actor/singer’s latest musical venture has been delayed until July because the label wasn’t down with the early material and invited Timberlake on board to work his magic.
Page Six reports, “There were some issues with Jamie’s album. Bosses at the label were not happy with the initial tracks, so Justin was asked to help co-write and perform on more songs. They added, “Timberlake has collaborated on at least three tracks — including the first release, titled ‘Winner,’ which is now getting a good reaction on radio play.”
Of Timberlake’s S.W.A.T move, they said, “There was some worry that upping Justin’s input would upset Jamie’s famous ego, but so far it has gone well. But he was a little upset the label chiefs were insisting on changing his material to ensure there were more hits.” ”
A rep for J Records said, “Jamie started working on this album last November, and Justin was involved from the start. Jamie and Justin have completed three tracks. The album has been delayed to July 20, but everyone is happy with the material.”
Timberlake’s peeps confirmed the collaboration: “Justin’s production company, The Y’s, is working on tracks for Jamie’s upcoming album, and Justin is also featured on the current single.”

Stacey Dash Accuses Husband Of Abuse
Stacey Dash looked happy hopping around the Oscar afterparties with Jamie Foxx last month, but things haven’t been all that great for the Clueless star in recent years. In a restraining order found by TMZ, Dash accused her estranged husband, actor Emmanuel Xuereb, of physical abuse, referring to violent episodes as far back as 2007. “In the past, [he] hit me in the head, face and on my body. I was afraid to report it to the police,” she claimed in the report. It wasn’t until the beginning of this year, when a drunken Xuereb allegedly held her down on a bed and threatened it would be “the worst of night of my life,” that Dash finally sought to separate. In accordance with the order, Xuereb has had to stay away from Dash, their home and her two children from previous marriages (this was her third marriage). The pair will return to court in June.
Foxx and Dash have been rumored to be dating since last month’s Oscars appearance. See photos of the alleged couple together in the gallery below.

Howard Stern Prank Interrupts Mine Disaster Coverage, “Jamie Foxx Is A C—”
Jamie Foxx, you’ve released the fury! A feud between the Oscar winner and Howard Stern, initially over Stern’s mockery of Gabourey Sidibe, has blown so out of control it’s taking time away from disaster coverage on Fox News—not that the channel meant to let it. In the above clip, anchor Shepard Smith introduces an energy company spokesperson to talk about Monday’s coal mine explosion in West Virginia, only to be told “we’ve learned Jamie Foxx is a c— and Howard Stern rules.” Unsurprisingly, Smith was not impressed by the latest prank call from Stern accomplice Captain Janks. “It’s always distressing when there are six people killed at a mine disaster and we’re waiting for 21 others to find out whether they are alive or dead and something like that sneaks by our screeners. Disgusting.” As opposed to stopping all news coverage to hover like vultures whenever someone dies in a grotesque way.
This blast of poor taste follows a stream of gay-baiting from Stern towards his fellow Sirius employee. “He seems to be in some bizarre thing where he wants to start in with me so that he can get some attention for his channel on the Foxxhole, which is an interesting name too. The hole. I wonder which hole they’re referring to?” “I’m not gay,” responded Foxx. “A lot of people say that I’m gay and that doesn’t bother me, because I could eat a pizza in a male shower and not feel anything because I’m secure with myself. And I’m not gonna take that, Coward Stern. I’m not gonna take that from a person who has chronic gonorrhea.” This is all well and good, guys, but keep it off the cable news deathwatch, OK?
Hilary Swank Vs. Christina Hendricks: Oscar After Party Hotties
Thanks to dramatic displays of decolletage, Christina Hendricks and Hilary Swank made big impressions at the Elton John AIDS Foundation and Vanity Fair after parties, respectively. Both bashes were booming with celebs, with some surprise revelers—folks like Heidi Klum, Apolo Ohno and The Jonas Brothers—hopping between the two. See shots from the shindigs below and let us know which woman looked more striking in our TheFABLife poll.
Kelly Osbourne: Oldest Lady At Pre-Oscar Cocktails
Don’t get us wrong, we love Kelly Osbourne—Shut Up! is an underrated album, for real—but we’re counting the minutes before she gets tired of dressing like a stylish golden girl. That purple-platinum hair dye must be seeping into her scalp and telling her raid her mom’s wardrobe—a 25-year-old should not look “Martha Stewart sexy.” Kelly showed off her white, shoulder-padded jacket (very “dragon lady”!) at the Montblanc Charity Cocktail in Hollywood Saturday, a Weinstein-sponsored soiree full of reveling nominees like Gabourey Sidibe, Christoph Waltz, Carey Mulligan and Quentin Tarantino, as well as plain ol’ partiers like Nicole Richie, Jamie Foxx, Russell Brand and Gwen Stefani. See what they wore in the gallery below.

Keri Hilson Blows Away The NAACP Image Awards
No, that’s not the breeze—Keri Hilson‘s dress at the NAACP Image Awards Saturday just looked permanently windswept. The uninhibited singer not only performed at the ceremony but won Best New Artist, with Maxwell, Mary J. Blige and the Black Eyed Peas also taking home honors. In the cinematic categories, Precious, director Lee Daniels and stars Gabby Sidibe and Mo’Nique unsurprisingly snabbed trophies while Morgan Freeman won Best Actor for Invictus. See these stars and more in the red carpet gallery below.
