Happy birthday, Jennifer Aniston! You made another bad movie.

On Feb. 11, 2011, - turns 42, and things are going pretty swell for the former “Friends” star. She’s wealthy, she’s beautiful and she’s in love… really beautiful. The one missing piece continues to be her film career, and her latest outing serves as an unfortunately-timed reminder.

- Aniston’s romcom outing with -, arrives in theaters on her big day. And if the critics are to be believed, it joins the ranks of recent stinkers. Here are 5 particularly scathing reactions:

“Deliberately extinguishing the genre that’s kept them working would seem an odd career move for Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, but maybe — like Sandler’s character in Judd Apatow’s ‘Funny People’ — they’re burned out on the life task of making people laugh.” – Dana Stevens, - [Stevens also gets extra points for pointing out Aniston's "trademark cocker-spaniel mannerisms"]

“Don’t even think of going with it. It’s the perfect Valentine’s date
night movie, but only with someone you hate.” – Peter Travers, -

“Everyone should be offended by the time-annihilating suckage of this mirth void.” – Kyle Smith, -

“Aniston and Sandler play characters too awful to deserve
anyone better than each other. But what did we do to deserve them?” – Keith Phipps, -

“Lewis Wolpert defined depression as ‘malignant sadness.’ George Santayana called it ‘rage spread thin.’ I call it ‘watching an - romcom where he discovers he’s been in love with his feisty pal Jennifer Aniston all along.’” – Peter Bradshaw, -

Consider yourself warned when you arrive at the box office.

Taylor Swift on ‘Chelsea Lately’: 50 Cent awkardness and Taylor’s 21st birthday plans

taylor-swift-chelsea-lately.pngRemember that - where Chelsea Handler was supposedly making out with 50 Cent in the shadows of New Orleans jazz bars? No? Leave it to the brutally honest Taylor Swift to remind us when she visited “Chelsea Lately” on Nov. 24.

Swift’s latest album, Speak Now, sold an impressive 1,047,000 copies in its first week on shelves – quite a feat for 2010. “They say anybody since 50 Cent in 2005, yeah,” she says. “I’m a big fan of 50 Cent. I think you’re a big fan of 50 Cent.”

“I’m not familiar with his music,” Handler teases.

Swift is a big fan herself. “When we’re on tour, we have all three girls – the backup singer, the fiddle player, and me in one room, and we all warm up to 50 Cent music,” she says. “It would be surprising how many lyrics I know.”

“I’m surprised that you warmed up to 50 Cent because I have warmed up to 50 Cent,” Handler says.

Of course, Handler commends Swift on her sexy, sleek hair at Sunday’s American Music Awards, and they discuss the awesome mash-up performance of “Back to December” and OneRepublic’s “Apologize.”

“I got these ideas while I was in Japan,” Swift says. “I was like ‘I want to go into ‘Apologize’ by OneRepublic after ‘Back to December’ and I want it to be a mash-up’ and then the same night I got this epiphany that I wanted to be on a piano like 500 thousand feet above the stage levitating down. And so I made a few phone calls.”

Swift is finally turning 21 this December. “That means I’ll get to go to the concerts that my friends go to and leave me at home for,” she says. “It’s sort of like ‘Oh, we can’t bring the baby because it’s a 21 and over show.’ I don’t want to be that girl where you like try to get in somewhere where you’re too young to get in.”

Yeah, Taylor. That’s why we were excited to turn 21, too. For the music.

All grown up, Swift just moved into her own house, but living alone doesn’t freak her out. “Living alone you can do so many fantastic things, I’ve learned! You can like, walk around and like, have conversations with yourself, and like sing your thoughts.”

Yeah, Taylor. That’s why we were excited to move out of our mom’s house, too. For the thought-singing.
