Jennifer Aniston has reportedly banned her He’s Just Not That Into You co-star Jennifer Connelly from being photographed with her on an upcoming cover of Marie Claire Magazine. Aniston agreed to appear next to co-stars Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin, but refused to be shot next to the other Jennifer.

“Connelly… will not be included in an upcoming cover shoot for Marie Claire magazine that will feature Aniston… and her other co-stars from the October comedy, Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin,” Life & Style Magazine reports. “There was no camaraderie between those two whatsoever. They didn’t seem like friends in the slightest….It was all about getting Jennifer Aniston front and center and looking as sexy as possible….Word is, Aniston threatened to pull out if Jennifer was part of the cover,” a set insider says.
