HOLLYWOOD stunner Jennifer Aniston hits 40 this week and today she kicks off the celebrations with a string of revelations on all the men in her life.

In a sensational interview the Friends legend shares her dreams of having babies soon with her new love rockstar JOHN MAYER—who finally helped mend her broken heart after her failed marriage to BRAD PITT.

Before an early birthday party yesterday Jennifer admitted: “My split with Brad was the hardest thing I ever went through. But it made me strong, superhuman. Now I’m turning 40 and I’m very excited. When they say youth is wasted on the young, it’s so true.

“Oh my God, what I wish I’d known when I was 30!”

And Jennifer openly admitted that when it comes to men she has been right through the catalogue.

“Over the years I’ve gone for each type of man,” she said.

“The rough guy, the nerdy, sweet, lovable type, the slick guy. Men in general are a good thing, I think—as long as they’re not crazy!”

Eager to share her joy at finding new love with John, nine years her junior, Jennifer added: “Being in love makes you happy. Definitely. I deeply, deeply care about John. We talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.

Children

“Do I want to have children? I do, and I will. The women who inspire me are the ones who have families and children. Why would I want to limit myself? I want to have it all.

“I hope to be on the road to having a family and settling down. Ideally, I’d like a couple of kids, but who knows? I feel like that’s in my future and I’m on the verge of it in some way. I’m going to have children. I just know it.”

Not only was John at her side yesterday for the birthday bash behind the giant bronze doors of Jennifer’s Thai-inspired Beverly Hills mansion, she was joined by her closest friends including Friends co-star Courteney Cox, 44, and 46-year-old singer Sheryl Crow.

On the big day itself— Wednesday—Jennifer and John will be away on a romantic break. But she splashed a fortune to make the party a success with thousands of white flowers plus special plates and crystal glasses jokily engraved ‘40 is the new 30’!

And Jennifer means it. She revealed the milestone age holds no dread for her and explained: “I had more of a panic going into 30. You realise that it just gets better. I have my health, I have my friends, I have my loved ones. I’m extremely lucky.

“I’m not saying I’m 40. I’m thirty-ten! I don’t feel 40. I don’t know what it means. At this stage my life doesn’t have the traditional framework—the husband, the two kids and the house in Connecticut. It’s MY experience. I feel good. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along. . . I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”

And she insists that place is right alongside hunky ‘Your Body Is A Wonderland’ singer John, despite his reputation as something of a womaniser. The couple were first linked last April and rumours are rife John may even use Jennnifer’s birthday to propose.

But she coyly refuses to comment on that. Instead she said of her unlikely romance with John: “People need to mind their own business. Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Did Susan Anton and Dudley Moore make sense?“Love isn’t designed. Love just shows up and you go, ‘Wow, this is going to be a ride and a half!’

Loved

“In a man I look for a friend, someone who is an equal and with whom I’m comfortable. I want to be loved, happy and not settle for something less.

“We only have one life and we’re here for such a short time, so you’d better have a blast with the person you’re with. I’m a very lucky girl and I like to seize my moments.

“But I feel seriously protective of John and us. He’s a wonderful guy. We care about each other.

“And I had no idea what an extraordinary musician he is. It’s just great to sit and be witness to that.

“He’s a rare one. He is extraordinary and it’s wonderful to watch him. . . beautiful. We love just being able to go to a great restaurant, have a great conversation and walk on a beach”

Glowing Jennifer’s newfound joy for life comes after years of heartache.

In January 2005 her world came crashing round her when her marriage to movie heart-throb Brad, now 45, ended after he met Angelina Jolie, with whom he now has six children.

Jennifer and Brad had been considered a rare Hollywood success story when they married with a lavish ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000. Their wedding vows even included a pledge from Jennifer to always make her husband’s favourite banana milkshake.

Love

When it all fell apart it was a dark period which for a long time Jennifer was unable to discuss. But now she feels comfortable enough to look back and recall: “We had so much fun falling in love. It was so private. We kept it to ourselves for so long.

“It was something we were really proud of. We were put on a pedestal, but we were just a couple like anybody else. I really thought I’d be with him for the rest of my life.

“It was a beautiful, complicated relationship. The sad thing, for me, is the way it’s been reduced to a Hollywood cliché. But I don’t regret any of it.

“The marriage didn’t work out but pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation and said a lot of things.

“And ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.

“Whoever said everything has to be forever? That’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure. I still feel so lucky to have experienced it. I wouldn’t know what I know now if I hadn’t been married to Brad.

“I love Brad. I really love him and I will love him for the rest of my life.

“We’ve exchanged a few very kind ‘hellos’ and ‘wishing you wells’ and ‘love and congratulations on your babies’. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and I’m proud of him. I think he’s really done some amazing things.”

Date

Jennifer went on to date funnyman actor VINCE VAUGHN, 38, in the summer of 2005.

They fell in love on the set of The Break-Up and were together for a year.

But Jennifer remains positive about that failed romance too. “I call Vince my defibrillator,” she said. “He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh. It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. I needed that. And it sort of ran its course.”

Now three years on, it seems Jennifer is finally lucky in love, although she has her own take on that, too.

She insisted: “This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably LUCKY in love. I feel good. At the moment, I think I’m doing really well. There were times when I had a little ‘pity party’ for myself, sure there were. Absolutely. Who wouldn’t?

“When your parents split up like mine did, it’s impossible to delude yourself about a fairy tale romance and happy endings.

“Divorce is hard and you deal with your parents fighting through you. I want to do it differently from my parents. I think that taught me that life isn’t always perfect and gave me a realistic approach to life and marriage, which I value.

“I learned what not to do by watching my parents. I watched my mother be very bitter and angry throughout a divorce, never let it go and waste the whole second half of her life.

“It’s easy to blame and be victimised, but that’s just a waste of time.

“So every day I just concentrate on being the happiest I can possibly be.”

JENNIFER Hudson’s fiancé, David Otunga - also known as “Punk” from “I Love New York” - has figured out how to keep his beloved in the style to which she’s accustomed. The Harvard-schooled ex-lawyer is, a pal says, “training to become a WWE Superstar wrestler, and is now working at . . . WWE’s developmental territory in Tampa.”

A stunning-looking and strong-sounding Whitney Houston made a triumphant return to the stage at a pre-Grammy party honoring her mentor, music mogul Clive Davis.

“I’ve got it, I’ve got it!” Houston, looking glamorous in a skintight leopard dress, sang early Sunday morning as she belted a line from one of her classic hits, “I’m Every Woman.” But more than a lyric, it summarized to the crowd of A-list superstars and top industry execs that the superstar - whose drug use and erratic behavior had caused a shocking fall from grace just a few years ago - was back in top form.

“We all crossed our fingers that her beautiful story would end (happily),” said Jamie Foxx, who stood at the front of the stage and took video of Houston like he was just another fan in the crowd. “This is a new beginning.”

Houston’s mini-concert put an exclamation point on a night that included a rousing performance by Kelly Clarkson, an unlikely but magical duet between Jennifer Hudson and Barry Manilow and a rambling monologue by Kanye West.

“I have to bow in the presence of greats right now,” West said as he looked out into the crowd, which at one point included Sir Paul McCartney, Prince, Diddy, Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, Quincy Jones, and other luminaries.

“I’m just humbled by your greatness, and also Clive,” West told the audience.

Davis, the music mogul who founded labels, signed greats ranging from Houston to Bruce Springsteen to Janis Joplin, and resuscitated the careers of veterans like Rod Stewart and Carlos Santana, was honored by the Recording Academy as an industry icon on Saturday, hours before Sunday’s Grammys. For nearly three decades, Davis’ pre-Grammy party and concert had become one of the industry’s most coveted invites; this year, the Recording Academy took the event over and honored Davis instead.

But while Davis got an award, he still held court like it was his own party, acting as the evening’s host as he introduced performers like Stewart, the Kings of Leon and Leona Lewis.

Diddy got the often staid crowd on their feet with a moving rendition of his tribute to the slain Notorious B.I.G., “I’ll Be Missing You,” with Biggie’s widow, singer Faith Evans, and a gospel choir.

Clarkson got one of the evening’s biggest ovations with her performance of her new single, “My Life Would Suck Without You” and the Joplin gem “Piece of My Heart.”

But Hudson was perhaps the night’s biggest star - until Houston hit the stage. Starting with the Super Bowl last Sunday, Hudson has been raising her profile after spending months in seclusion following the slayings of her mother, brother and nephew last October.

A smiling Hudson performed her hit “Spotlight,” which earned her one of her four Grammy nominations, and got a standing ovation from the crowd. But she raised the bar with a pairing with Barry Manilow, injecting one of his signature songs, “Weekend in New England,” with a lacking ingredient - soul.

Afterward, the Oscar-winner joined the audience (and friend Fantasia), stood in the front and danced and sang as Houston performed. Houston started off with “I Will Always Love You,” but didn’t hit the high, sustaining notes that made the song such a dramatic, stirring hit. Instead, she kept her voice at medium power, deciding to croon rather than soar.

But as she got into hits like “It’s Not Right, But It’s O.K.,” her voice appeared to get stronger - and louder, and while she never replicated the vocal gymnastics of some of her past work, delivered a mesmerizing performance nonetheless.

The 45-year-old, one of the best-selling artists of all time and among the greatest singers, hasn’t made an album since 2002. Then she was sinking due to drug use and a tumultuous personal life - a far cry from the princess image she cultivated since her debut in the 1980s.

But the singer is expected to release an album sometime this year, and unlike other reported returns, this comeback seems to be the real deal.

“She was on it, she was happy - she’s back,” said Foxx. “Everybody else watch out.”
