The mostest? MWF, late 40s

Jennifer Aniston, 47, is the gal with the mostest, says People. The mag crowned her the most beautiful woman of 2016. Aniston, who wed Justin Theroux last year, says she had a jolt when told of her triumph. "There was this sort of very excited, teenagey kind of moment," she tells People.

Last year, the mag named Sandra Bullock, who was then 50. People's choices are a shot in the arm for middle-age women. Until recently, they did not actually exist - at least not in the media. (With the exception of ads for dietary supplements.)

Aniston shares some age wisdom, to wit, that staying pretty takes more work as you get older.

"We've got to really be mindful of what we put inside our bodies," she says. "And how we sleep."

Ripa AWOL

Will Live! With Kelly and Michael go the way of the Chia Pet? Wednesday's edition of the morning gabshow was missing cohost Kelly Ripa, who reportedly went AWOL a day after news broke that she felt blindsided by cohost Michael Strahan's decision to leave the show for Good Morning America. Anonymous Insider tells People producers "don't know yet when she'll be back."

Gossip petits fours

Luther star Idris Elba has signed to star in Showtime's Guerrilla, a six-part thriller about politicos who turn into full-on militants. . . . Jerry Seinfeld will share dashboard time with John Oliver, Lorne Michaels, Judd Apatow, and Margaret Cho on the new season of Crackle's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

Pull yourself together, gal

Jessica Chastain wouldn't star in The Huntsman: Winter's War unless her character was a strong female. The Oscar-winner tells USA Today she's keen to reimagine feminist versions of classic fairy tales.

She says she'd switch the Little Mermaid around a bit: "He would become a merman. She loves it under the sea!"

What would she say to Rapunzel? "Just take some sheets and tie them together and get down yourself."
