Here's the Scoop...

So it's back to work and back to a regular schedule! I don't know about you, but I think it will be hard to get back to working five days a week.

Every year it takes me a week or two to get back into a routine.

Speaking of that... let's get to today's Nooz!

Be Well,

Jennifer Aniston on Brad Pitt Divorce: 'I don't find it painful'

Jennifer Aniston addressed the never-ending gossip that follows her ever since she split from actor Brad Pitt in 2005 and said stories about her old relationship are not really "painful."

The 45-year-old actress opened up about the tabloid rumors during an interview with CBS's Lee Cowan that aired Sunday. When asked if she understood "the appetite" for gossip about her life, the former Friends star said she did not.

"The fact that it still follows you around -- I mean, I'm divorced. It's gotta be painful. I mean, I don't like it when people bring it up. But people still do, right?"

"I don't find it painful, though," added Aniston. "I think it's a narrative that follows you because it's an interesting headline. It's more of a media-driven topic."

Asked if she remained in contact with Pitt, the actress said they speak, but not on a daily basis.

"We've exchanged good wishes and all that sort of stuff to each other, but not a constant thing," she said. "I mean, do you talk to your ex-wife?"

Amal Clooney Risked Arrest for Egyptian Court Reporter...
George Clooney's new wife Amal risked arrest in Egypt last year when she agreed to represent an Al Jazeera journalist, who is currently behind bars in Cairo.

The human rights lawyer was recently in the Middle East tackling Egypt's judiciary system while representing her client and was told she would be watched closely and if she slipped up, she'd be arrested.

Amal Clooney tells The Guardian, "When I went to launch the report, first of all they stopped us from doing it in Cairo. They said, 'Does the report criticize the army, the judiciary, or the government?' We said, 'Well, yes.' They said, 'Well then, you're risking arrest.'"

In the report, Amal suggested that Egyptian officials should not be allowed to hand-select judges for specific cases.

She says, "That recommendation wasn't followed, and we've seen the results of that in this particular case, where you had a handpicked panel led by a judge who is known for dispensing brutal verdicts. And this one was no different.

"Unfortunately we have to conclude that we can't rely on these Egyptian court processes to achieve a fair or swift result."

Gwyneth Paltrow Says She 'hit a wall' with Chris Martin
Gwyneth Paltrow continues to open up about her "conscious uncoupling" from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

The 37-year-old actress and Marie Claire cover girl recently told the magazine that she simply "hit a wall" with her husband of 11 years.

"There was nothing dramatic or anything," Paltrow said.

"I had built my life on trying to be all things to all people," she added. "And I just couldn't do it anymore, and I really had the sense that I wasn't allowed to have needs, and I had to prove my specialness or self-worth by doing all this stuff and taking care of everybody else, and I just sort of hit a wall."

Paltrow added that she and Martin remain "very close."

"We've worked really f***ing hard to get to [this] point. But we're very, very close, and it's so nice. I feel like it's, in a way, the relationship we were meant to have," she said.

Paltrow, who is promoting her upcoming comedy, Mordecai, also discussed the split with Harper's Bazaar.

"Of course, there are times when I think it would have been better if we had stayed married, which is always what your children want," she said.

The album would be Clarkson's first since 2013's Wrapper in Red, and according to another tweet it might include a duet with a singer she's already worked with. Many are assuming she's referring to singer/songwriter Sia.

Oh and people also keep asking about the duet on the record. Here's a hint ....this wasn't our first time to sing together :)-
