Fresh off of finishing up work on her new movie "Wanderlust," Jennifer Aniston packed her bags and joined a group of friends for a holiday in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Spotted out on Thursday (November 25), the former "Friends" star donned a cute purple two-piece as she lounged poolside and mingled with her travel companions during the south-of-the-border Thanksgiving getaway.

Aside from her post-work travels, Jen continues to be a regular in the gossip headlines for alleged new romances and crushes.

Most recently, the brunette beauty is said to have a "huge crush" on Joaquin Phoenix after meeting the actor at the premiere of his movie "I’m Still Here" back in August.

Telling that Jen is trying to setup a "business" meeting, a source told Grazia magazine, "He’s single, funny and handsome, and she likes that he is a bit kooky. There have been calls, texts and emails to set up a meeting – ostensibly to cast him in a new movie project – but apparently Jen just wants to spend more time with him because he’s her huge crush."

If you’re going to be single, might as well be the most desirable single lady around, like Jennifer Aniston. The unattached actress was recently voted the most eligible bachelorette in the world in a new poll, reports Us magazine.

The 41-year-old got 29% of the votes, while Halle Berry was a close second with 21%. Lady Gaga, Elin Nordegren, Betty White, and Elena Kagan also received votes.
No official word from the Aniston camp about how she feels to be at the top of the list, but she’s said in past interviews that she doesn’t really feel like she’s been slighted by love like everything thinks. Guess it’s not so bad to have dated Brad Pitt, John Mayer, Vince Vaughn, etc., even if the relationships all ended pretty badly.

"This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love?" she said a while back. "I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love…I’m right where I’m supposed to be."

Kicking off the holiday season, Jennifer Aniston hosted a 100-plus people party at her Beverly Hills home over the weekend.

Among the guests who attended were Courteney Cox, Laura Dern, yoga instructor Mandy Ingber, hairstylist Chris McMillan and acting coach Leigh Kilton Smith.

According to a guest, “Jen’s private chef served guests a variety of Christmas-inspired dishes. Jen loves Christmas, and her house was festively decorated with a huge tree, twinkling Christmas lights and fragrant flower arrangements.”

She’ll probably never be able to escape Hollywood rumors and tabloids, and Jennifer Aniston admits she is embarrassed for anyone who wastes their time and money on obnoxious gossip magazines.

The gorgeous “Friends” actress told Parade magazine, “It’s embarrassing that people are focused so much and putting so much money into gossip magazines to escape.”

She does, however, recognize that some people will always be willing to pay and that, “The paparazzi and the magazines deserve their share of the blame, but they’re just supplying a demand.”

The 40-year-old also added, “It’s unfortunate that people don’t care that they’ve been lied to, they don’t care that they’re being sort of messed with and not given the full truth. They buy them anyway.”

Jennifer Aniston always tends to go after guys who can get her most time in the spotlight, and would never “date a normal guy”, according to a source .

People close to the actress, who was recently spotted holding hands with Gerard Butler, have revealed that she pursues only guys who can keep her as high profile as possible.

The 40-year-old beauty tells, "Most of us fall in love with someone’s persona and spend the next three to five years discovering who that person really is."

Continuing on, Jen adds, "If you can stay connected through that process of raw vulnerability, I think you have a shot at the prize of knowing and accepting another human being for who and what they really are after years of highs and lows."

Out for another day’s filming, Jennifer Aniston was on location for "The Bounty" in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday (August 4).

The former "Friends" star looked angelic in a flowing white dress, accompanied by her pet pooch as she readied to shoot a few scenes.

Meanwhile, Miss Aniston recently chatted with Elle magazine for their September issue, as she explained the key role humor has played in some of her more difficult situations.

Jen tells, “I remember being 7 and asking my mom if I was as pretty as [my best friend] Monique. And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, ‘Oh, honey, you’re so funny.’ So, she doesn’t lie to me. She answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.”

Logging the long hours on-set, Jennifer Aniston put in a full day o of work on "The Bounty" in New York City on Thursday (July 30).
