Why was Jennifer Aniston's new man Paul Sculfor spotted having dinner with Victoria Beckham this weekend? Turns out they're old friends. "He's just an ex-boyfriend of a friend," Posh's rep explained.

Is Jennifer Aniston leaving sunny LA? Sources say the Friends alum is considering a move back to her native NYC. "She feels she needs a boost in her life and she can meet all kinds of people there," says a friend of the star. "And she can meet men... She's revisiting the Broadway idea." Aniston has been keeping a low profile on a trip to the Big Apple this week, ordering room service to her suite at the Lowell Hotel and visiting an apartment building where fellow actor Harvey Keitel lives. "She's thinking about it," an insider says of the actress's possible move. Her rep has no comment.

New couple alert: Jennifer Aniston and...Keanu Reeves? Star mag figures they're a match meant to be. "Jen's type is good looking, wealthy and spontaneous," a source told the tabloid. "Her man has to be successful in what he does and can't be threatened by her fortune and fame." The Friends alum met with Reeves to discuss business in December, and insiders say the pair have talked on the phone a few times since then. "They were set up by Keanu's agent. There's a script floating around that people want Keanu and Jennifer to co-star in," says a source. "They talked for hours about it, but it's still up in the air whether they are going to commit to the film... I think Jen would welcome an invitation from him to go out, but he hasn't asked. Jen was really taken with him - he's funny and really self-effacing and in many ways is actually pretty shy." The whole story sounds like a bit of wishful thinking on Star's part, if you ask me.
