Jennifer Aniston ‘Moving Slowly' in ‘Real' Jim Curtis Romance, ‘Source' Claims
Jennifer Aniston and her rumored boyfriend Jim Curtis' love life has become the talk of the town over the past few weeks. The actor and the hypnotist started as friends before getting romantically involved a few months ago. As per a source, Aniston is in no rush and 'moving slowly' in her relationship with Curtis. For now, she and Curtis are allegedly 'happy' together and enjoying each other's company. Jennifer Aniston isn't rushing relationship with life coach Jim Curtis, 'source' claims Dating rumors of Jennifer Aniston and her rumored boyfriend, Jim Curtis, have been doing the rounds on the internet for the past few weeks. The duo caught everyone's attention when they were clicked together in Mallorca, Spain, last week. Although Aniston is seemingly happy in the relationship, a source claimed she is not rushing into labeling their relationship. For now, Aniston and Curtis are taking things slow. 'They're both obsessed with personal growth,' a source told Rob Shuter. The 'Friends' star reportedly fell for Curtis as he is the 'guy writing the relationship books Jen's been reading for years.' The insider further revealed that although Aniston is 'moving slowly' in the relationship, 'this one feels real' for her. Jennifer Aniston and her rumored boyfriend were first introduced by their friends. Before they knew it, the pair developed a great bond over time. Soon after, the news of their budding romance started making headlines. Multiple sources even confirmed to PEOPLE that the duo is 'casually dating and having fun.' The insider even added that although the 56-year-old actor has 'been happy on her own, but she's also open to sharing her life with someone. As long as it feels right.' While not much is known about Curtis' previous relationship, Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005. After a decade, she got hitched to Justin Theroux in 2015. However, their marriage was short-lived as the former couple went their separate ways in 2018. But with Curtis, Aniston is 'in a very good place right now — grounded, fulfilled and very happy' as the life coach is 'very different from anyone she's dated before.'

Nobody wants to hang out on TV anymore
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. Back in the day, you could turn on your television, tune to any number of channels and see a group of four to six beautiful and quirky friends lounging around, talking about their lives, sharing the details of their recent bad dates, complaining about unruly bosses and bonding over the latest antics of weird neighbors. Cheers, Friends, How I Met Your Mother and New Girl all followed this model. This was called hangout TV. It still exists today, but you don't see characters just congregating at a coffee shop or meeting for nightly drinks at the same watering hole quite like they used to. In the most prestigious and talked-about shows these days, many of which were nominated for multiple Emmys on Tuesday, they're solving problems at work (Severance, The Studio), scrambling to save lives (The Pitt, Grey's Anatomy), investigating crimes (Only Murders in the Building, Slow Horses) or getting into trouble on vacation (The White Lotus). Aside from a couple of new shows driven by the TikTok-famous personalities that star in them, like Overcompensating and Adults, which are well reviewed but not broadly watched, it seems like no one wants to hang out on TV anymore. How did a trend that seemed to rule the small screen seemingly disappear entirely? 'Nostalgia is a powerful force' Between 2015 and 2023, networks and streaming platforms were churning out high volumes of critically acclaimed shows. Now that the so-called Peak TV era is over and the number of original series made for adults has declined dramatically, viewers are relying on old standbys more than ever. According to the May 2025 trend report from audience data company Digital i, viewers are still drawn to nostalgic shows they know and love, like The Big Bang Theory, Gilmore Girls and Friends. Bob Batchelor, a cultural historian and assistant communications professor at Coastal Carolina University, tells Yahoo that now 'streaming platforms prioritize proven comfort titles over investing in new, ensemble-based, lower-concept comedies that take time to build an audience." Batchelor explains that streaming platforms are risk-averse, so the fact that hangout shows take a while to find and create a bond with a loyal audience makes them a tougher sell. Even Seinfeld, the quintessential hangout series that proudly billed itself as a show about nothing, took a while to land. But once it did, it had legions of fans for life. Today it's easier for networks and streamers to just pay to license Seinfeld and let nostalgia viewers stream it endlessly than to find the Seinfeld of a new generation. "Nostalgia is a powerful force," he says. A relic of a different time We're not hanging out on TV, and we're not hanging out to watch it together either. Americans spend more time alone now compared with any other time in human history. The average time spent socializing has declined over the past decade. The quiet activity of TV-watching used to bring people together. Julie Ferris-Tillman, a communications expert, tells Yahoo that television once served as 'the family hearth.' 'We gathered as a family and watched TV by appointment viewing. Stations programmed based on family routines, [which] bore the best results for advertisers and audience targeting,' she says. 'Instead of representing our cultural prowess by talking about Thursday night's episode of Friends at the water cooler, now we share on our [social media] feeds those cultural moments that represent us … viewers don't need to watch together to hang out; they just need to prove they watch.' People aren't even hanging out in the way that used to be portrayed on TV either. Chris Hite, a filmmaker and professor at Alan Hancock College, tells Yahoo that 'shows like Friends and Cheers reflected a time of gregariousness in American society that may not return.' 'The unfortunate reality is that the No. 1 condition that made 'hanging out' possible in those shows — economy — no longer provides the proper conditions for it to occur,' Hite says. 'I still watch Friends regularly. It is and has been a tremendously funny show with great characters, but now I am more interested in noting all that was present in the show that has disappeared from the American landscape and the fabric of American society: the twin towers, the ease and affordability of travel, availability of employment options, live entertainment [and] affordable coffee.' The dominant millennial style of hanging out today looks more like a workplace comedy like The Office. The series is also a popular nostalgia-watch but is soon to have its own spin-off in September. Shows currently on the air like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Abbott Elementary, Tires and The Bear all technically fall into this category. Their characters are falling in love, getting into hijinks, navigating professional problems and finding their closest friends at work instead of home or a designated third place for hanging out. Shows — and their audiences — are multitasking There is an element of hanging out that is crucial to shows that technically fall into other genres too — especially shows that defy typical TV conventions. Rian Johnson created the mystery series Poker Face to subvert tropes left and right. Rather than a typical 'whodunnit,' it's a 'whydunnit' or 'howcatchem' that focuses on the motive behind a crime and how the suspect is caught rather than just who did it. Johnson tells Yahoo he cast Natasha Lyonne as the lead because the unconventional show needed someone 'who is not just a really good actor but is a presence on the screen that you just want to hang out with.' Each episode sees Lyonne dropped into a new setting with new costars and characters. She plays Charlie Cale, who has a knack for telling when people are lying, so each week we follow her sleuthing as we would the title character of Colombo. 'That's a really rare, unique thing, and I feel that Natasha is one of the few people on earth who has that … it's a hangout show, really,' Johnson says. 'The mystery is kind of second-tier to [audiences] wanting to hang out with Charlie Cale every week.' Poker Face might be the exception to the rule. Without lovable characters and nail-biting plot points driving each episode, would watching a true-to-its-2025-setting hangout show even be that much fun? In real life, people are on their phones and use social media too much, and that would look odd — or at least uninteresting — onscreen. Lori Bindig Yousman, a communications professor at Sacred Heart University, tells Yahoo that 'the characters of Friends or Seinfeld could sit around and have uninterrupted conversations because they didn't have distractions like their smartphones to pull them away from their conversations.' 'If those same sorts of scenes appeared in a show today, audiences wouldn't find their behavior realistic because they would expect the characters to be constantly texting, scrolling, liking or taking selfies just like we do in our real-life hangouts,' she says. We're probably on our phones while watching those shows too, Yousman says, which might also contribute to the popularity of nostalgic shows we've already seen. 'Audiences who are already familiar with these shows can easily watch them while multitasking because they already know the characters and the general storylines,' she says. It's mindless viewing, just like scrolling. Everyone's just hanging out online Though experts agree that the television landscape has shifted away from hangout shows, that doesn't mean people don't still crave the feeling of hanging out with a character. They've just taken those interactions and feelings online, instead of sitting in front of a TV screen. Roy Orecchio, a TV showrunner and associate film professor at Arizona State University, tells Yahoo there's actually 'more hangout content than has ever existed, but those hangouts are not happening on legacy broadcast or legacy cable television networks.' Since people now go online to see content tailored to them, they expect more niche content and a more interactive experience. Hangout TV still exists — it's just user-generated. Max Cutler, founder of content creation company PAVE Studios, tells Yahoo that 'hangout energy has migrated into the world of video podcasts' too. His goal is to help produce shows that feel like friend groups you can catch up with any time, tapping into the existing audiences that content creators already have. Those influencers know that YouTube, where they can upload podcasts and other kinds of video, is the best place to grow a huge audience. The platform is technically the biggest television distributor in the world, according to Nielsen data from April 2025. That means it's bigger than Disney, Netflix, Paramount and any other network or streaming service you could think of. The way people consume entertainment has clearly shifted, and so has the way people hang out — of course hangout TV is part of that. Cutler says that online creators have been able to match the production schedules of traditional TV while giving people what they truly want these days: authenticity. That allows for them to build the type of emotional connection and community that traditional television shows just can't. People are resistant to things that feel manufactured, even if that has traditionally meant that they are well-produced. Entertainment is always evolving But don't give up on the hangout show altogether. Tim Stevens, a writer for the office of marketing and communications at Connecticut College, tells Yahoo that the decline of hangout TV could just be part of the 'cycle and churn of TV.' 'For a time, serialized dramas ruled. Then, perhaps, procedurals, or supernatural shows or sitcoms. Some of this is just the natural process of peaks and valleys,' he says. 'Apps like TikTok are filled with scenes and edited pieces showcasing the best jokes or characters from hangout shows past and present. Some accounts exist purely to provide this content.' People still want to hang out with their favorite characters; they just want to do it on their own terms. It's a problem too modern to be solved on something so antiquated as a television screen.

Drake Bell claims ‘no one' on Nickelodeon gets paid residuals: ‘It's like getting high on child labor'
Drake Bell feels cheated, and he's not thrilled about it. The 'Drake & Josh' alum, 39, recently claimed that 'no one' on Nickelodeon receives residuals for their time on the popular children's network. He also slammed the belief that everyone on TV is rich. 'That's the perception of the world, it's always been this way,' Bell said during an episode of 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. 'It's like, you know, 'Oh, you made a Folgers Coffee commercial. You must live in a mansion in Hollywood. Like, I saw you on TV. You're rich.'' Advertisement 7 Drake Bell during 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube 7 Drake Bell and Josh Peck in Nickelodeon's 'Drake & Josh.' Nickelodeon 'That's far from the case,' he explained. 'And especially, which is the bummer for most of us on Nickelodeon, we don't get residuals for our shows.' Advertisement Bell, who made his Nickelodeon debut on 'The Amanda Show' with Amanda Bynes in 1999 before co-starring on 'Drake & Josh' with Josh Peck from 2004 to 2007, revealed that almost everyone on the network only receives a one-time payment for their work. He then compared Nickelodeon's 'flawed' system to shows like 'Seinfeld' and 'Friends,' and noted how the casts of those sitcoms still earn millions of dollars from syndication residuals. 7 Amanda Bynes and Drake Bell on Nickelodeon's 'The Amanda Show.' Nickelodeon 'You want to get into syndication,' Bell told podcast hosts Abby and Matt Howard. 'You want to get to 100 episodes so that you can get to syndication, and then you want to get into syndication because then you get your residual money, that's where you make your money.' Advertisement 'For example, the 'Friends' cast at the peak was making a million dollars an episode,' he continued. 'You make 13 episodes that year, you make $13 million. You make 20 episodes that year, you make $20 million, right? 'But right now, each cast member of 'Friends,' just in syndication alone, is making over $20 million a year, and they're not filming a show every week,' Bell added. 'They're not going to work, but they're playing their show and they're using their likeness and they're doing all this, so they get paid for it.' 7 Drake Bell during Abby and Matt Howard's 'The Unplanned Podcast' on July 2. The Unplanned Podcast/YouTube When Matt asked whether Nickelodeon stars didn't receive residuals because they were child actors, Bell claimed it was because the network was run by 'a lot of evil, corrupt people.' Advertisement 'That's the only thing, that is the answer,' he said. 'There's no other answer.' Meanwhile, Bell lamented how he still doesn't receive residuals despite seeing 'Drake & Josh' replays and marathons on TV and popular streaming services. 7 Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell and Josh Peck during Nickelodeon's 17th Annual Kids' Choice Awards in 2004.

'There are three channels doing 'Drake & Josh' marathons. Netflix just bought it, it's top 10 on Netflix, and I gotta figure out how to pay my rent this month,' the actor continued. 'And some fat cat with a cigar is just sitting up at the top of Viacom, just going. What do you call it? It's just like getting high on child labor.' Bell, who filed for bankruptcy back in 2014, ended the podcast segment by saying that people outside of the entertainment industry 'don't understand how the business works.' 7 Bell filed for bankruptcy back in 2014. Drake Bell/Instagram 'They just see what the perception is on Instagram and social media and all the glitz and the glamour of Hollywood,' he said. 'We're putting in all of this work. This corporation is making billions with a 'B' off of us, and we're being compensated for the week of work, cool, but that's it.' Advertisement 'And forever, in perpetuity,' Bell concluded.

Bell also revealed in the bombshell docuseries that he had been sexually assaulted by acting coach Brian Peck, and alleged that the shocking abuse is what started him down his self-destructive road.
