Jennifer Aniston to direct short film on breast cancer
Jennifer Aniston is making good on her promise to direct -- the actress has been tapped to participate in a short film project alongside Alicia Keys and Demi Moore.
The three women, along with filmmaker Patty Jenkins and another participant yet to be named, will each direct a short to be strung together and presented as "Project Five," a Lifetime Networks initiative to spotlight those battling breast cancer.
“Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small,” Aniston said in a statement, first reported by THR.
“We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts ALL of our lives, no matter who we are.”
Aniston, who is close pals with cancer survivor Sheryl Crow, will hit the big screen again soon, too, as a member of the the Texas band "The Goree Girls."

Hey Har, Har, you wouldn't be laughing if you lost the love of your life, life goes on but that love can never be replaced, I know I lost mine 30 years ago and I still love him with all my heart. True love never dies!

Ron; Brad is a smoker as well plenty of pictures of him having a cig just recently (and no it wasn't for his movie there are about 15 20 pic)..look it up remember Brad telling the world that he had to quit for his children is a plain out lie.....And by the way he never gave up pot..So what is your point here?

Great for Aniston helping...Can't same the same for Angelina her turning up in Tusnisia when people were in crisis trying to find their way to safety and Angelina was whisked away in a private car makes a mockery of their situation...Sh!t they have real problems to deal with....Why can't Angelina donate a WHOLE lot of money from afar rather than turn up and divert attention from the issues at hand rather than her 7th neww tattoo??????
