$56,000 a week for 'Marley & Me' star Jennifer Aniston's hair? So worth it, experts say

$56,000 for a week of hairstyling?!

Jennifer Aniston came under fire this week for reportedly shelling out that jaw-dropping sum to bring her hairstylist along on her "Marley & Me" tour of Europe.

And it was totally worth it, elite stylists say.

After all, isn't great hair just part of what makes Jennifer Aniston, well, Jennifer Aniston?

"You can't put any price on it - it's priceless," says legendary hair stylist Edward Tricomi, co-founder of the elite Warren Tricomi salons.

Tricomi, who works with several celebrities, likens Aniston and her luscious - albeit pricey - locks to a farmer who might need a $4,000 part to repair his tractor.

"For celebrities, hair, make-up and stylists are exactly like that tractor part," he explains.

"They are the ones who create that aura for the celebrity and her look. These people are much in demand, so they're worth every single penny they get - and more."

Fellow stylist Philip Pelusi agrees.

"The most important accessory that you own is your hair," he says, adding that he "can understand" why some stylists charge so much to travel with a star.

"It's not that the hairdresser wants to overcharge," he says, "but they need to make up what they lose in the salon."

And for an in-demand hairdresser like Tricomi, it can be mighty costly to leave his base business behind.

"My days are more than $10,000," he admits. "It's significant to walk out when you're booking days like that."

And, Tricomi points out, stylists such as Jennifer Aniston's mane man Chris McMillan are originators - not imitators.

"We're the people who are creating the trends," he says. "It's short-lived and other people collect on that."

Meaning, the looks eventually trickle down to the hoi polloi (remember the phenomenon that was The Rachel?) and the original stylists don't see a dime from the zillions of copycat cuts.

Translation? They get to charge $56,000/week for stars to be in their capable - and creative - 24/7 care and therefore inspire the masses.

"Even I've cringed on occasion," Pelusi says of some stylists astronomical fees. But, he adds, he doesn't think McMillan's fee is outrageous.

Tricomi wasn't shocked by the sum, either. Says the stylist: "I know mostly everybody would say this is really crazy, but most people don't have a job like this."

Brad Says He Was Faithful To Jennifer Aniston

Brad Pitt insists he didn't cheat on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie.

In a story posted on W magazine's Web site, the 45-year-old actor defends both women and says his relationship with Jolie didn't begin until after he and Aniston split in 2005.

Jolie revealed last year that she and Pitt fell in love on the set of the 2005 film "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." In November, Aniston called Jolie's comments "really uncool."

Pitt tells the magazine for its Jan. 20 issue that filming continued after he and Aniston split, and that his relationship with Jolie wasn't "some kind of dastardly affair."

"I'm very proud of the way it was handled," he says. "It was respectful."

Jennifer Aniston: "I'm On the Verge" of Motherhood

Though Jennifer Anniston denied the rumors that she is pregnant — with twins, no less — on Oprah recently, the star of the upcoming Marley & Me says she feels like motherhood is in her future.

Aniston, who has been dating singer John Mayer on and off for the last few months, told Entertainment Weekly "It's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'I'm pregnant!'" She also teased, "Everyone will be like, 'Yeah, right.' It's the boy who cried wolf. Stop stealing my thunder, motherf---ers!"

Aniston is on the cover of the Dec. 12 issue of EW to promote Marley — which opens Christmas day and costars Owen Wilson — and told the mag that her role in the movie let her feel out being a mother. She said, "I feel like that's in my future and I'm on the verge of it in some way," and continued with, "So it was great to sort of dip your toe in it."

Do you think Jen should just keep mum about her plans to be a mom?

JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON STUNNED BY 'UNCOOL' CONTROVERSY

JENNIFER ANISTON was astonished when her "uncool" comments about former love rival

ANGELINA JOLIE kicked U.S. President-elect BARACK OBAMA off the front pages of America's newspapers.

The former Friends star's Vogue magazine interview, in which she made the remarks, was released to the media in the days leading up to the election at the beginning of November (08).
She called Jolie "uncool" after the Tomb Raider star admitted she and Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt had fallen in love while making Mr. + Mrs. Smith - when the actor was still married.
But she had no idea her response would cause such a fuss.

She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "(Election night) was just so moving, so unbelievable, and now what do people do? Read my crap! Everything comes to a halt: 'What did she say?'
"Good God. You have to laugh at it all at the end of the day."

Now, a month after the controversy, Aniston insists her comments were taken out of context.
She adds, "I was just surprised that Vogue would go so tabloid. I was bummed."

Jennifer Aniston

The glory days: In the nineties, Jennifer Aniston was riding high. She landed the role of superficial-yet-lovable Rachel Green on “Friends,” an entire generation of women copied her hairdo, and she won an Emmy for best lead actress. Then, in 2000, she married golden boy Brad Pitt in a lavish Malibu ceremony, and in 2002 she gained indie cred with “The Good Girl.” Who could ask for more?

Troubled times: After Aniston and Pitt called it quits -- and Pitt started dating Angelina Jolie – Aniston was painted as a victim. Recently, Aniston’s on-and-off relationship with John Mayer has come under the microscope, amid rumors she is pregnant. Jen’s appearance on “30 Rock” did little to buoy her falling star; the episode garnered the lowest ratings of the season. An appearance on “Oprah” and a jab at Jolie in a “Vogue” interview only provided further fodder for media scrutiny.

Bailout plan: Appealing as it is to cozy up to Oprah and gush, you may want to adopt the phrase “no comment” with regards to all things Brad and Angelina. And as for your unlucky-in-love image, how about trading in the actors and musicians for a regular guy? Get out of the spotlight and focus on what you love: acting! Why not star in a Broadway play? Added bonus: you’ll get out of L.A. for a while.

Alec Baldwin says kissing Jennifer Aniston was 'painful’!

Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has jokingly described his onscreen kiss with Jennifer Aniston on the hit American show 30 Rock as “painful”.

The actor revealed that the experience was not as enjoyable he had expected it to be.

“It was painful. I mean, every man who's had to make out with her in TV and movies - I don't know how they do it!” The Sun quoted Baldwin, as saying jokingly.

Baldwin was also asked whether he believed the 30 Rock episode’s suggestion that “crazy” women are better in bed.

He added: “That's assuming I've been with crazy women. If I answer that question in the affirmative, that would type a woman I've been with as being crazy, which I don't really feel like doing. But I hear it's true. I hear from my friends it's true.”

Alec laughed: “I will say this on the record - I've never slept with a crazy man!”

Jennifer Aniston : Aniston says she and Mayer ‘adore one another’

Jennifer Aniston’s on and off relationship with singer John Mayer may have raised many eyebrows, but the actress claims that no matter whether or not they are together, the two still ‘adore one another’.

“People need to mind their own business,” People quoted her as telling Vogue in its December issue.

The ‘Friends’ star understands that she and Mayer are always in the eyes of the people owning to the fact that the rocker is nine years younger to Aniston and also his past relationships include starlets like Jessica Simpson.

She added: “Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Did Susan Anton and Dudley Moore make sense? Wait! I got more!”

At the time when Aniston started dating Mayer, she claimed that she “barely knew his music.”

However, the couple finally broke up in August this year.

Talking about her relationship with Mayer today, she said: “It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize [that] we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful.

“There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.” (ANI)

Jennifer Aniston's pricey look

Jennifer Aniston has reportedly been spending £4,000 a month on her appearance. The 39-year-old actress is allegedly worried her younger boyfriend, John Mayer, 30, will leave her for a younger woman and so has been splashing out to maintain her looks and figure.

The astonishing sum reportedly includes £1,000 on a personal chef and £750 for one-on-one yoga sessions with Los Angeles' top instructor, Mary Ingber. A source revealed: "Jennifer doesn't have time to prepare her own healthy meals, so she's signed up with this organic, high-protein, low-fat meal delivery service." Jennifer has reportedly been shelling out on beauty treatments costing her hundreds of pounds a time.

The source added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "Jennifer has been spending £750 a month on seaweed and oxygen facials. She claims they instantly erase lines, dark spots and puffiness. "Amazingly, she doesn't have a trace of cellulite. And now it seems she's become more scrupulous about her thighs, having anti-cellulite spa sculpting treatments that cost about £500 a month. She's also been spending around £350 on exfoliating body wraps. Jen invests up to £300 a month on maintaining her hair too." Also on Jen's list are personal training sessions, manicures and pedicures at £150 per month and £100 a week on massages to ease stress.

According to People magazine reports detailing the evening at the London venue, “Aniston stood quietly in the wings while Mayer ran through a 45-minute set in front of an audience of tens of thousands.

Jennifer Aniston: Chelsea Chick

She looked gorgeous in an embroidered casual white dress teamed with a pair of chunky heels and a beige handbag/jacket combo.

Jennifer Aniston Losing Temper, Alienating Co-Stars

Dating John Mayer has earned Jennifer Aniston the superlative “cougar,” not the emotion “empathy” she was so used to after her split from Brad Pitt. And while Aniston hasn’t exactly done anything to deserve the growing ire of American women who used to so identify with her, she hasn’t done much to keep it. And that’s a celebrity actor’s job when they’re not filming! And then, when they’re done filming, it’s also the celebrity actor’s job to keep quiet any reason America might have to hate her, so as not to re-open the scab. Too bad Aniston failed on even that front.

Life & Style, the personal diary of Brad and Angelina, says Aniston and He’s Just not That Into You co-star Jennifer Connelly became such sparring partners on the set that Aniston refused to appear on the cover of Marie Claire with her; only co-stars Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin would be allowed, and only then if Aniston was the focus of the cover. And if Marie Claire didn’t agree? Then no Jennifer, hrmph! Not that the reason for the bad blood is made clear, or that Marie Claire might not even want a group shot. The obvious way to get around Aniston’s rumored stipulations? Shoot four different covers and call them collectors’ items.
