Jennifer Aniston’s two best friends are not getting along. Aniston asked both Courteney Cox and Chelsea Handler to be her bridesmaids…and they are fighting over how to celebrate Aniston’s bachelorette party – Chelsea wants to party… but Cox is not into that.

"Courteney thinks a stereotypical party is a bit crass. Jen's begged them to come together, but neither wants to budge,” “It's ridiculous. Chelsea and Courteney have never managed to bond, despite Jen's desperate attempts…It means a lot to her that they get along.

Some guys are all for meggings, saying they’re like skinny jeans, only more comfortable.  But others- probably, guys who weren’t thrilled about the whole skinny jeans thing either- aren’t feeling it.
