This is a well over due break in fairness.
America's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston is said to be taking a 12-month break from acting, as she plans on focusing on her directing career and her new relationship with Justin Theroux.
The 42-year-old actress is currently promoting Horrible Bosses and has two more movies coming out this year. But once she is finished travelling the world to promote her upcoming films, Jen will be laying low for a while.
An insider revealed that Jen is really looking forward to some time off: "Jen's taking a year off from work to enjoy herself."
A second source confirmed that after Horrible Bosses and the October release of Wanderlust, the only thing on her schedule is developing The Goree Girls. The movie is her production company's project about singers in a women's prison.
And apparently Jen wants new boyfriend Justin (39) to help out on the set of the new movie. Insiders say she is keen for the Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 screenwriter to collaborate on the script with her.
A friend of the star said: "She's impressed by his ability to find humour in dry material."
Although Justin didn't appear on the red carpet at last Thursday's Horrible Bosses premiere in LA, he did sneak into to the after party and was spotted enjoying drinks with his gorgeous girlfriend.
The couple then headed to the Chateau Marmont to meet friends, including her best friend Courteney Cox.
An onlooker said the couple were adorable to watchL
"They were super cute. He had his arm around her and kissed her on her cheek. They were whispering in each other's ears."
