Anything you can do! Jennifer Aniston shows Angelina Jolie how to work a little black dress at the Directors Guild Awards in Hollywood

Last week Angelina Jolie stole the show at the Producers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills in a stunning floor-length black gown with cut-out lace panels.

She looked so unbelievably sensational that it was hard to imagine who could look better... until now.

Step forward the woman who will forever be pitched against her erstwhile love rival, an unbelievably sexy looking Jennifer Aniston.

 The 42-year-old stepped out to the Directors Guild Awards, yes directors probably do trump producers, at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in an beautiful beaded black minidress.

The bandeau style perfectly highlighted her dainty shoulders and toned arms, while the high hem displayed her excellently honed pins.

But the sexiest part of her lovely outfit could be found resting on the red carpet in the form of her barely there shoes, just two tiny straps set off with black toe polish - which boyfriend Justin Theroux, 40 , must surely adore. 

 He, as usual, was clad from head-to-toe in black, and interestingly, was wearing a tie exactly like the one Jennifer's former husband Brad Pitt was sporting last week.

The 40-year-old is naturally an edgy looking and alternative leaning artist, he is - in short - what blue-eyed, blonde haired boy next door has always yearned to be.

And it's hard to believe that this hasn't in some way ruffled the father-of-six's feathers.

Brad and Angelina looked incredible last week but Jennifer and Justin have scrubbed up even better

 It's been noted that it wasn't until Jennifer found what seems like long-lasting love with Wanderlust star and writer Therouz, that Brad made his now infamous comment to Parade magazine which seemed to suggest his life with the former Friends star was boring.

Now, in a fabulous paradox, he is talking about marrying long-term partner Angelina Jolie - who has been transformed from sex kitten to earth mother - and Jennifer is rubbishing marriage reports, raising her hem then jumping on Justin's motorbike.

Funny how life can change.

Whatever the leather... Rihanna appears to pay homage to the King Of Pop at the launch of the Michael Jackson The Immortal tour;

It's not quite the classic red leather number Michael Jackson wore in his infamous Thriller video, but perhaps the jacket Rihanna wore to the opening of the Immortal World Tour in LA.

The singer threw on the number for an appearance at the show opening at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles and looked every bit the wannabe rock chick.

Rihanna, 23, was the epitome of cool at the event and accompanied the late King Of Pop's children Paris, Prince and Blanket to the event.

Rihanna wore an over-the-top leather suit that Michael would surely have loved

 

She matched the leather jacket with a pair of leather trousers and heels, with a pair of shades rather unnecessarily attached to her face.

'Just call my name….and I’ll be there!!!' the 23-year-old singer tweeted after the show in homage to Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5′s famous song “I’ll Be There”.

Paris Jackson stole the singer's thunder last night with her incredibly striking aquamarine eyes.

The 13-year-old, who never got to see father Michael perform in concert, witnessed the next best thing last night at the Staples Centre in LA as she watched the premiere of The Immortal World Tour.

The masterpiece is talented contortionists Cirque Du Soleil's critically-acclaimed tribute to the icon.

Neither Paris - nor brothers Prince, 14, and nine-year-old Blanket - ever saw Michael on stage as his death in June 2009 came before he was scheduled to embark on a mammoth 50-date tour.

The trio already had a taster of last night's performance after seeing the company tease fans with a snippet at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday at a ceremony to remember their father.

He never got the chance to commit prints of his hands and feet to the cement outside the legendary venue for posterity, so his progeny did it for him.

Lead the way young man! Jennifer Lopez goes girly in a pretty maxi dress and Princess Leia plaits as her toyboy lover takes charge;

 Jennifer Lopez raised eyebrows when she started dating little known dancer Casper Smart.

But it seems her toyboy lover is not intimidated by the A-list diva, if photos of them together in Miami, Florida today are any guide.

Her beau was seen taking charge and leading her by the hand, seemingly in a rush to get her back to their hotel room.

Jennifer, 42, did not seem to mind that her young lover was taking charge, and followed dutifully as he led the way.

The American Idol judge looked girly in a flowing white striped maxi dress and cardigan, and also wore her hair in Princess Leia plaits.

Young Casper, 24, looked casual, showing off his bad-boy tattoos in a  a grey T-shirt paired with some jeans.

The duo appeared to be enjoying some quality time together after a busy day posing for a fashion photographer yesterday.

Gigli favourite J-Lo was spotted wearing a saucy swimsuit that showed off her stunning curves during the shoot.

However the lovestruck star also took the opportunity during some down time to whisper some sweet nothings in the dancer's ear whenever she got the chance

Jennifer only separated from her husband of seven years Marc Anthony in July, and their divorce is yet to be finalised.

She has since turned cougar by hooking up with the dancer, who has not been slow at talking about their relationship.

Earlier this month he tweeted: 'Our ages are mere reminders of the hours logged on this earth and the precious time remaining.

'We should all honour our time here by indulging our passion and dreams. So, close your ears and open your hearts; Love and be happy!'

The American Idol judge seemed to be enjoying showing off her age defying body during the photo shoot

  

Smoking: Marilyn star Michelle Williams likes it not;

Michelle Williams refused to smoke in every scene when filming My Week With Marilyn, fearing it would set a bad example to her daughter.

The 31-year-old Oscar-nominated star bleached her hair and piled on the pounds to play Marilyn Monroe. But she didn’t want Matilda, six, her daughter by late Dark Knight star Heath Ledger, to see her puffing on cigarettes.

‘Michelle smoked as little as she could even though Marilyn smoked a lot,’ says a movie mole.

‘Michelle used to smoke but is now fiercely against it and didn’t want to set a bad example to her daughter. It upset her when Heath was alive that he chain-smoked and she is obsessed with avoiding any bad habits that could affect Matilda.’

Ray Winstone wants his actress daughter Jaime, 26, to broaden her experience. ‘She needs to take a role in a period drama,’ the 54-year-old star told me at the launch of fashion designer Gresham Blake’s Shoreditch boutique. ‘She was in Poirot at Christmas and dressed up in Thirties gear – she needs to do more of that.’ Winstone also praised his handsome Great Expectations co-star Douglas Booth, 19. ‘He is a real pro – I’ve got more to learn from him than he has from me. When I was younger, only ugly lads could act. Now the good-looking ones can – blokes like me are finished.’

Madonna has stepped up her rivalry with Lady Gaga ahead of next month’s Oscars. The 53-year-old superstar has let it be known that if anyone wants her to attend their after-show party, Lady Gaga must not be on the same guest-list. ‘It’s unusual for Madonna to be so petty,’ says a Tinseltown spy. ‘She doesn’t usually act like this, even about bitter enemies such as Sean Penn and J-Lo. But she didn’t want to be forced into a photo-op with Gaga.’ Unsurprisingly, Madonna has not invited the young pretender to her own Oscars bash hosted with her manager Guy Oseary.

Pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor has been scathing about Simon Cowell and Will Smith’s upcoming series to find the world’s best DJ, which wags have dubbed the ‘Decks Factor’.

‘Surely that might be a bit boring. What will they do, 60-minute sets?’ said the singer, who occasionally DJs too, adding: ‘All DJs are very different.’

Speaking at fashionable Shoreditch House in East London, Sophie, 32, whose third child with musician husband Richard Jones is due in April, also announced she was taking a break from performing. ‘I’ll be having the baby so I am taking a bit of time off,’ she said.
