Jennifer Aniston is ready for new boyfriend John Mayer to meet BFF Courteney Cox-Arquette. Jen is hoping Courteney will give her new romance with the “Clarity” star a thumbs-up after giving John the once over.

“John’s a bit uneasy about it – it’s like meeting your lover’s mom for the first time. Jen laughs and tells him Courteney just wants to pinch and poke the product,” a celeb snitch tells The National Enquirer.

The meeting will commence next month at a dinner party hosted at the Malibu home of Courteney and husband David Arquette.

“Courteney guards Jen like a mother hen. Jen just smiles and reminds her pal she’s met John on several occasions – but Courteney comes right back with: ‘Yeah, but you weren’t sleeping with him then!’”
