Jen to leave LA?

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.

Jake to don tights on the big screen

Jake Gyllenhaal may be trading in his cycling spandex for tights of a different kind - the Zodiac star is rumored to be favored to play superhero Captain Marvel in Shazam! Sources say the film's producers are eager to hand Gyllenhaal the part.

Monster co-stars Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton will reunite for the film Tulia, based on the novel Tulia: Race, Cocaine and Corruption in a Small Texas Town.

Celeb designer charged with rape

A fashion designer whose list of clients include Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Bruce Springsteen is being held in an LA jail on charges of rape after a March 6 arrest. "There was sufficient informationt that warranted his arrest," according to a Beverly Hills police officer. However, the case could be more complicated than it appears. "He had a consensual relationship with a woman who is over 21 years old," says a source. "The apartment was filled with at least five other people. The next day, [Jon's accuser] was trying on his clothes so that she could model his jeans line at LA Fashion Week. She went to lunch, and something dramatically changed when she came back." Jon's lawyer says, "My client vehemently denies any unlawful sexual acts. We believe the LA county district attorney's office will treat my client fairly and this matter will resolve itself."

Angelina in Vietnam to pick up new son

Angelina Jolie and son Maddox landed in Vietnam earlier today to complete the process of adopting a three-and-a-half-year-old boy. Jolie is scheduled to appear at an adoption ceremony with Vietnamese officials tomorrow morning, though some sources suggest the UN rep may be able to pick up her new son as early as tonight. Once the child is in her custody, Jolie's application must be reviewed by the U.S. consulate before a passport can be issued for the boy. The head of Vietnam's offical international adoption bureau admits Jolie's application was fast-tracked because "a celebrated person is certainly treated a little bit different from others." The Tomb Raider actress filed papers as a single parent because she and Brad Pitt are not married.
