Jason Merritt/Getty ImagesJust when Jennifer Aniston finally begins to shed of that good girl image with her raunchy role in Horrible Bosses comes word that she's looking to take a break from working.
Like a yearlong break!
US Weekly is reporting that the Friends star has purposely cleared her schedule except for the October release of Wanderlust so she can take some time to simply "enjoy herself."
Will we really not be seeing Ms. Aniston working on any new projects until next summer?
This rumor is...
So not accurate.
"She is not taking a year off. That is a huge exaggeration," Aniston's rep tells me. "She always intended to take a few months off after finishing Wanderlust and directing her short film [about breast cancer for an upcoming Lifetime special] since she has basically been working nonstop for a few years straight. She is looking at some projects that would start in the winter."
Have a great vacation, Jen. Don't forget to send us a postcard.
