Last year on Feb. 11, her birthday,
Jennifer Aniston partied with 50 friends at a moonlit party thrown by Brad Pitt, from whom she was separated, at their $28 million Beverly Hills home.
Fast-forward to Feb. 11, 2006: Jen, now living in a small beachfront home in Malibu, Calif., celebrated her 37th McBirthday by staying indoors with beau Vince Vaughn - venturing out just once "to walk up and down the beach all by herself," an eyewitness tells Star.
The low-key celebration was attended by a few of the actress' closest friends and was reportedly catered by fast food chain McDonalds.
This year, according to the Star, she simply didn't feel like celebrating. "She's in a totally different place than she thought she'd be at 37," says a close friend of Jen. "She's almost 40, and she has no husband, no baby and no Oscar. I think it's a scary time for her."
However, Aniston will set temperatures soaring in her new romantic comedy "The Break Up" by wandering around naked and hairless in one sexy scene.
The actress reportedly bared all in the scene, in which her character Brooke attempts to win back the amorous affections of her ex-love.
Brooke reportedly takes a friend's advice and has a 'Telly Savalas' beauty treatment, which involves
the waxing off of all body hair - and then parades around the apartment she shares with her ex, played by Vaughn, completely naked.
After saucily glancing into a bathroom mirror quoting Savalas' famous Kojak phrase "Who loves ya baby?", Aniston's character lets her towel drop to the floor.
As Vaughn's character stares on in utter disbelief, Brooke has a naughty giggle to herself as she walks into her bedroom.
