It’s been 25 years since JENNIFER ANISTON scored her breakthrough role on “Friends”, but she believes her career is just NOW getting started. She told the “New York Times”, “I’m entering into what I feel is one of the most creatively fulfilling periods of my life. Seriously – I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I feel like it’s just about to really bloom.” She’s had her ups and downs over the years, but she wants to prove that there’s more to her than just being Rachel from “Friends”. “It’s taken time and I put a lot of work into my craft. I’ve failed. I’ve succeeded. I’ve overcome. I’ve, you know, I’ve stayed around. I’m still here.” Jennifer is 50 now, so there’s plenty of time for a career (re)-birth. She’s starring in the upcoming series “The Morning Show”. She plays a news anchor, whose co-host is fired for sexual misconduct. Steve Carell is the co-host, and it also stars Reese Witherspoon. “[It covers] children, guilt, power struggles, being a woman in the industry, going through a divorce, publicly going through a divorce, feeling alienated, being just a little bit of a screw-up.”

He captioned his TWITTER, “I would gladly give up my spot on country radio to get this song on. Wow, Craig. You blow me away, brother. There’s nothing easy or fun about writing a song like this but sometimes it’s just something you gotta do.” Later that day he Tweeted, “Come on everybody. This song deserves to be #1 on iTunes. Tweet your friends, tag the song. All people need to do is hear it once. They will want to own it. It deserves to be recognized.” Thanks to tons of reTweets, replies, and likes, the song took off. As of last night it was #7 on the iTunes Country Top 10.
