Jen gets a nose job - Jan 25 2007
Jennifer Aniston’s rep has confirmed that the star went under the knife for some work on her nose on Monday, but claims that the op was for medical - not cosmetic - reasons.

"Jennifer had a procedure done to correct a deviated septum that was incorrectly done over 12 years ago," the spokesman told Us Weekly magazine.

The star was spotted being dropped off at the office of LA surgeon Dr Raj Kanodia - the man behind Ashlee Simpson and Cameron Diaz’s new konks - during the early hours of January 20.

Emerging four hours later, the star reportedly sported bruises along her right eyebrow and across the tip of her nose and upper lip, according to the magazine.

Despite her rep’s claims, a source told Us Weekly magazine that the 37-year-old actress "has hated her nose ever since her first nose job".

The source added: "She always said how lousy it was and that her nose was still too wide."

Biography

Jennifer Joanne Aniston was born on February 11th 1969 in Los Angeles, California to actor parents John and Nancy Dow, although she spent much of her childhood in New York city when her father was working in Soap Opera. In 1987 she attended New York’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, where she was a member of the drama club. Her drive for success and reputation as an actress was strengthened as she started working in Off-Broadway productions.

Recognised as a talented comedy actress, she began working on the Howard Stern Radio Show in the 80’s and 90’s, before moving to Hollywood and launching a career in television. There were several false starts as shows were cancelled, and her appearance in the horror movie ’Leprechaun’ attracted so much critical derision that she seriously considered giving up acting.

Cue Friends, for which she auditioned in 1994. The producers originally wanted her to audition for the role of Monica Geller, but she managed to persuade them that her talents would be far better used in the role of Rachel Green. She ended up playing the character for ten years, between 1994 and 2004. So successful was the show and so well loved was her character that during the final three seasons she commanded a fee of one million dollars per episode. The critics, once cruel, were now united in praise, and she was nominated five times for an Emmy award including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Since then she has been in several major Hollywood features, although she has not yet made a hit film.

Aniston’s acting talents rest upon an "everygirl" persona. This perhaps explains why the media has always taken an interest in her personal life. She previously dated Adam Duritz and actor Tate Donovan before beginning a long-term relationship with Brad Pitt. They were married in 2000. The pair divorced in spectacular fashion in 2005, with many in the press suspecting infidelity on Pitt’s part and Aniston’s refusal to have children as causes (She has since strongly denied that she doesn’t want children). She has remained tight lipped about her personal life ever since.
