Is Jennifer Aniston dating a hypnotist named Jim?
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: an actress jets off with her hypnotist, another actress drives around with a comedian, and Justin Bieber pays his debts.
The last time we heard about Jennifer Aniston’s love life, she was allegedly having an affair with former President Barack Obama. I guess that’s over, because the Daily Mail reports that her new boyfriend is a hypnotist named Jim Curtis.
Aniston, 56, and Curtis, age undeclared, were photographed arriving in Mallorca for a vacation with Aniston’s buddies Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka over the 4th of July. According to Page Six, the actress and the self-described “wellness pioneer” were also spotted together at the Ventana Big Sur in June. We don’t have People confirmation yet (Aniston’s tabloid of choice), but a source talked to Us Weekly about this new, capital Z-Zen relationship.
“They’ve been hanging out a lot, but very much on the DL at her home in LA,” the source claimed. “It’s very Zen, and she has always been very much into that. They’re a good match.”
I guess she has always been very much into that.
Aniston has also been “liking” Curtis’s posts on Instagram (like the one above), and she talked about how hypnosis cured her fear of flying in an interview with Travel & Leisure back in April. I don’t know. I think it’s possible that Aniston is dating this guy and equally possible that she is just the kind of the celebrity who travels with her personal hypnotist. My best to them either way.
Also maybe dating: Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara. Page Six reports that the two connected after meeting on the big celebrity brand trip on the new Ritz-Carlton cruise line (Martha Stewart, Colman Domingo, Kate Hudson, Tobey Maguire, and Alix Earle were also there). Brady, 47, “asked to switch seats” to sit next to Vergara, 53, at dinner on the cruise, a source told the gossip site. Vergara posted a photo of them together in an Instagram carousel from the trip:
Congrats to Ritz-Carlton.
Officially dating for real and they want you to know it: Alex Edelman and Anna Kendrick. I first heard this rumor back in March, when Edelman, the 36-year-old comedian, was photographed giving Jessica Alba his jacket on the way out of the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Apparently, those two are just friends (?), and he’s been dating Kendrick, 39, this whole time. Edelman and Kendrick went public this week with a Backgrid paparazzi photoshoot and an exclusive People report.
The couple has been dating for “several months,” a source told the tabloid. “It doesn’t seem casual. Anna’s very private, though. They enjoy date night at lowkey restaurants that are not your typical celeb hangouts.”
Uh huh. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the first promo for Edelman’s new sitcom The Paper (a spinoff of The Office) also came out this week.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: Hilary Duff lives life on the edge. Probably because she has a Sagittarius moon.
Finally, I’ll leave you with the news that Justin Bieber is no longer in debt to Scooter Braun:
According to People, Bieber, who released his seventh album, SWAG, today, reached a deal to pay his former manager $31.5 million to settle his debts. This is mostly related to money Braun and his company advanced Bieber when he cancelled his 2022 tour as well as some unpaid comissions. I hope Justin is being very nice to his new-billionaire wife right now.
Thanks so much for opening this email. And thank you especially to paid subscribers! Your contributions keep this operation running, and I love you.
So… Is Backgrid the celebrity sanctioned pap agency? Like People, but make it paparazzi?
The hypnotist is hot tho
