Jennifer Aniston seems to have found love again with Justin Theroux — but back in 2005, she was still smarting from her devastating divorce from Brad Pitt.

She dusted herself off by signing on for, ironically, The Break Up, the hit 2006 romantic comedy costarrng Vince Vaughn.

“It was a beautiful human story about a couple breaking up…You know, I was slightly familiar on the topic and the issue,” Aniston, 42, confessed during her chat with James Lipton for her Inside the Actor’s Studio appearance.

“I honestly felt like, what a great way to sort of exorcise some of that,” she said of doing the film after the end of her five-year marriage to Pitt, 47, who famously paired up with Angelina Jolie afterwards.

Even The Break Up’s producers balked at asking Aniston to sign on for the flick given its sensitive subject matter, she revealed.

“I was like, why not? Turn the page, let’s move on.”

Her romantic heartache made the role “easier” to do, she said. “I enjoyed it! You’d think otherwise.”

Aniston remarks that she can’t just tell people how great her product is —she has to go viral, which apparently includes animals, dancing babies and double rainbow guy.

She ends by asking her video helpers, “What are we going to call this video?”

“Jen Aniston’s sex tape?” they say.

Aniston’s response: “I love it.”

Making the possibility even more interesting, Jason Bateman has professed his desire to bring former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston on board with a cast that includes Michael Cera, Will Arnett and Portia de Rossi.

Speaking about the matter, Miss Aniston told MTV News, “I love it. I actually think I might have asked [Bateman] … if that was possible. Anything to work with Jason.”

Meanwhile, Bateman said that a big issue will be squeezing time out of Jen’s always-busy schedule.

He tells, “I don’t know, we’ll see if she’s available. She’s busy. She’s pretty famous; I don’t know if you’ve heard of her. Hopefully the guy who’s in charge will like her for that part because I’m going to suggest her.”

According to the docs, Jason Peyton was found on July 15, “laying-in-wait in a location he believes she frequents with a ’sharp object, a bag, a roll of duct tape and written messages about [Aniston].”

Aniston’s lawyer says in the docs … Peyton spent 8 days trying to find her and when he was taken into custody cops found carved messages in the paint of his car saying, “I LOVE YOU JENNIFER ANISTON.”

Jennifer Aniston just got a restraining order against a man who was arrested after prowling around her Hollywood Hills house last week — a man who had a sharp object, duct tape and is considered violent, TMZ has learned.

Jennifer Aniston headed to one of her favorite getaway spots, Los Cabos, Mexico, where the actress is getting a jump start celebrating her 41st birthday – Aniston’s big day is actually Feb. 11 – with a group of friends. But this year, she had a surprise birthday guest: Gerard Butler, her costar in the upcoming comedy, The Bounty Hunter. Last month, the two were spotted laughing and spending a lot of time together at the Golden Globes.

Aniston flew a large group of pals including Butler, Courteney Cox, her husband David Arquette and Sheryl Crow, whose birthday is also Feb. 11, to the One & Only Palmilla resort Thursday evening where the group is staying in a beautiful waterfront villa.

Aniston also seemed a little bit loopy during her onstage presentation. Was it butterflies? The alcohol they actually serve there? Or is she just smitten with Butler?

Jen spent much of the evening chatting with Gerard, her co-star in The Bounty Hunter, due out in March. But he wasn’t the only fella who caught our girl’s eye.

The actress kicked off Friday night at a pre-Golden Globes party at the Buffalo Club in Santa Monica, where she ran into another rumored flame, Bradley Cooper.

“Jen looked amazing in a short, black dress,” says an observer last night. “She was also in a great mood, a social butterfly and mingled for almost three hours.”

“Jen kept giggling like she always does with Gerard.”

Aniston – all smiles and as bubbly as ever – spent quality time with Butler on Sunday night, too, as they attended the Golden Globes at the Beverly Hilton.

Could she be trying to make Angelina Jolie jealous? Or is she legitimately falling for Gerard? Or neither of the two? As always, it’s anybody’s guess with her.

“Oh my God, it’s hysterical,” she says in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly about speculation that she is carrying current beau John Mayer’s baby.

“It’s almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, ‘I’m pregnant!’”

Jennifer added that while we won’t be seeing it anytime soon, she does feel motherhood is in her future…

“My favorite move is when people pretend that they’re on the phone,” Aniston, 39, says in next Sunday’s The New York Times Magazine, “and they kind of dial and take the picture at the same time. You hope they’re doing it for themselves – that they’re not thinking, ‘I’m going to dine out on you.’”

Yet the actress also admits to being in awe of the tech-savvy. “I’m really computer illiterate,” she says. “When I see people on their BlackBerrys, working them like some girls work a hairdryer, I’m just stunned. People have sent me clips from FunnyOrDie.com or YouTube, but I never seek it out.”

According to an eyewitness, “They were positively glowing in the candlelight.  You could see her classic ‘Aniston smile’ on her face.  They were very happy and goofy.  They seemed to revel in their privacy.”

John and Jen also bumped into anther celebrity couple,Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, at the dinner.  “There was a lot of excited talk between the two girls, with Nicole’s head bobbing up and down as she talked to Jen.”
