Jennifer Aniston Pokes Fun at Her Life and Movies

Originally posted 06/13/2009 12:25PM

Jennifer Aniston has a plan for achieving a future without love life complications – and it’s all in her choice of movie titles.

Accepting Women In Film’s Crystal Award for expanding the role of women in the entertainment industry, Aniston took the stage Friday – in a body-baring Prada dress – and pointed out to the crowd of mostly female Hollywood movers and shakers that her personal fortunes over the past several years have been reflected in the titles on her film resume.

"I'm trying to be more careful than I have been in the past about the titles of movies that I choose to be in," Aniston revealed. "It's funny – I kind of noticed something a couple years ago that there seemed to be this strange parallel to the movies I was doing and my life off screen."

“It started with, well, The Good Girl," she explained. "Then that evolved into Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed, and then there was The Break-Up. And then on the lighter side was Friends with Money, which I felt was a bit on the nose.”

Three great friends stepped out Thursday night for a good cause. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette and Sheryl Crow lent their support to pal and OmniPeace founder Mary Fanaro and her night to "Stamp Out Violence Against Women and Girls of the Congo."

"I am extremely lucky," Aniston tells PEOPLE. "But these women and girls need help – it makes you think." Continues Cox Arquette, "We can do something about this. I want to bring awareness to this."

"I know I have a responsibility," adds Crow of son Wyatt. "As a mom, the biggest thrill for me, but most humbling role is raising my kid as a humanitarian. I want him to grow up feeling he can do something for people less fortunate."

The trio of hosts – sporting T-shirts created for the Art of Humanity Foundation and OmniPeace and debuted at the event – mingled and laughed throughout the intimate dinner party, held at STK in L.A. and sponsored by Kitson.

Bradley Cooper has the approval of his family for his rumored romance with Jennifer Aniston. The only problem: he and Jennifer Aniston aren't dating.

Despite reports this week linking him to the Friends star, the rumors are far from true, says Cooper, 34.

"I met her 3 times in my life," Cooper, soon to star in The Hangover with Heather Graham, told PEOPLE in Las Vegas Friday at a charity poker tournament at Caesars Palace. "I'm very flattered."

"My mom loves it, but unfortunately it's not true," says Cooper, who split with actress Jennifer Esposito after four months of marriage in 2007.

While it may have been a good 40 years since Bette Midler last sang "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match" in Broadway's Fiddler on the Roof, the Divine Miss M is now ready to play matchmaker herself – to Jennifer Aniston.

"She needs an exciting guy, like a race-car driver," Midler, whose Las Vegas revue The Showgirl Must Go On marks its 100th show on June 7, told PEOPLE about Aniston. "I think she needs somebody who cherishes her, but also somebody who's going to give her a run for her money."

Still in full matchmaker mode, Midler, 63, said, "She should find somebody who is really hot, who's not in show business. Somebody with a lot of money, and she should live the large life and forget about these a--holes. She's a great girl. She's got everything going for her."
