Now, Aniston goes the country way, Jennifer Aniston Revealed

Jennifer Aniston is fast-tracking her stalled movie about 1940s band, The Goree Girls. The actress first signed up for the film in 2009.

However, other projects kept her busy. The movie chronicles an all-female band made up of convicts.

Now, the Friends star insists the film will be the next thing she does.

Launching her own namesake perfume in Mexico on Thursday, Aniston revealed she’s looking forward to being a part of “the Dixie Chicks of their time”.

Gwyneth Paltrow found success as a country music star when she wowed country music critics with her performance as a washed-upsinger in Country Strong.

She went on to perform the film’s Best Song Hope at the Oscars.

Abhi-Aish to attend Oscars?

Bollywood's star couple Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, who are currently in Los Angeles for a holiday, will be attending the 83rd Annual Academy Awards Sunday, according to megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

"Ya, Abhishek and Aishwarya have been invited by the Academy to attend the Oscars on Sunday ....so....(sic)," Amitabh posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.

Amitabh spilled the duo's plans while sharing how American actor Warren Beatty met Abhishek at an LA store for fittings.

"Oh! And incidentally they were getting fitted at a clothes store, for the Oscars Award ceremony for Sunday - Warren and Abhishek!," added Amitabh.

Abhishek, who had been busy with the shooting of Players in New Zealand, is in LA for a break with his wife Aishwarya. The couple will also be meeting once Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, who is also expected to attend the prestigious ceremony.

These apart, music composer A.R. Rahman, who has been nominated for two categories at the Oscar this year, will be attending the event too.

Rahman, who won two Oscars for his work in the 2009 movie Slumdog Millionaire, is vying for the golden statuette for the original score of Danny Boyle's 127 Hours as well as original song If I Rise from the same movie, this year. Rahman will also be performing the song at the ceremony.

Meanwhile, the Bollywood fraternity is pinning hopes that the Mozart of Madras brings back the trophies this year too.

India-born British film editor Tariq Anwar is also in the Oscar race with a nomination for his work in the hugely popular historical drama The King's Speech.
