Jennifer Aniston Chows Down on Short Ribs in Front of Justin Theroux
Justin Theroux is getting a taste of the good life — thanks to Jennifer Aniston.

The 42-year-old actress brought her boyfriend to the 64th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards in Hollywood Saturday, where Aniston was nominated alongside Demi Moore, Penelope Spheeris, Alicia Keys and Patty Jenkins for co-directing Lifetime’s Five.

Aniston wore a strapless black Dolce & Gabbana mini, highlighting her toned physique. Theroux, 40, wore a matching black suit.

“Jen and Justin talked to each other quite a bit,” an onlooker tells Us Weekly. “They would turn to each other and talk, and they took turns putting their arms on the backs of each other’s chairs.”

The actress isn’t afraid to chow down in front of Theroux, either: she polished off the lobster and artichoke salad, followed by short ribs and steamed vegetables.

“During the actual show, Jennifer seemed really interested,” the onlooker says. “She’d refer to her program and clap for the various winners, and occasionally comment to Patty and Justin about whatever was going on onstage.”

Though Aniston and her pals lost to The Kennedy’s Jon Cassar, that didn’t stop her and Theroux from having a good time. Post-show, the Wanderlust costars hit up a private members’ club in West Hollywood, where Theroux was spotted “continuously putting his arm around her or touching her in some way.”

Jennifer Aniston to get a new dog

Jennifer Aniston is adopting a new dog.

The 'Marley and Me' actress - who was left devastated by the death of her beloved pet pooch Norman last year - has decided to start 2012 off in style by getting a new canine friend.

A source told America's Star magazine: "Jennifer decided to give herself a New Year's present to start the year off right - a new dog.

"She has been in mourning since Norman died."

After visiting the Utah-based Best Friends Animal Society, Jennifer, 42, fell in love with a shepherd mix and wants to give the dog a loving family.

The source added: "Jen is ready to give another needy dog a home."

Last year, Jennifer - who is dating actor Justin Theroux - got a tattoo in homage to Norman, by having his name tattooed on the inside of her right foot.

Explaining the inking she said: "That's my dog. My baby who just passed away.

"I never thought that would ever happen. It's just my way to pay homage to him - forever."

Norman, a Welsh corgi-terrier mix, accompanied Jennifer - who also has a white German Shepherd named Dolly - everywhere, including on film location shoots, but he passed away last May due to complications from his old age.
