Single Again, Jen gets a little extra lift

Friends star's fuller figure at awards ceremony sets tongues wagging

Newly single, it is no surprise that Jennifer Aniston felt she needed a boost.

But while many heartbroken woman call on the support of friends to bolster their shattered morale, it seems the 37 year old has taken things rather move literally.

Weeks after splitting up with Vince Vaughn, Miss Aniston showed off a figure as she accepted an award for being the favourite movie star at a ceremony on Tuesday evening.

Her astonishingly buxom appearance sparked a rumour at the People's Choice Awards that she had paid a visit to a plastic surgeon for her impressively curvaceous figure.

But others suggested Miss Aniston has managed to achieve her busty look with clever padding and a shrewd use of adhesive tape.

The former Friends actress has had a tumultuous love life of late. When she endured a split with ex-husband Brad Pitt after she had found a partner in Vaughn, who she met while filming The Break Up in 2005.

But the couple parted company just weeks before Christmas after shocking revelations that the 36 year old actor has spent the night with a 20 year old student during a trip to Budapest in November last year.

And picking up the best actress award at the ceremony, she wittily added, "Thank you for loving the Break-up -- I did," suggesting she is not as heartbroken as one would imagine.

Friends of the troubled actress have told how she is now planning to remain single for a while.
