When we first heard of these Jennifer Aniston cupping marks, we thought it was another prank, played by her playful finance, Justin Theroux. But as it turns out, the ancient Chinese practice helps circulation to neck, shoulder pain, and detoxes the body.

So when the 44-year-old Friends star hit the red carpet for the Los Angeles screening of Call Me Crazy in a backless dress, the ‘cupping marks’ were there for all to see. And despite their ample health benefits, they’re not pretty to look at. She’s not the only one though; Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Jessica Simpson and David Arquette are all fellow celebrity cuppers. Sounds weird. Given Theroux’s penchant for ‘trickery’, we were justified in thinking it was a prank. Well, he calls it trickery. But he’s constantly hiding behind drapes. And I’m constantly scared. It’s like it doesn’t get old on me…’ explained Aniston to Ellen DeGeneres on her show.

Talk of a Friends reunion has been rife, and it’s not just a one off show in the pipeline, it’s an entire series! “Well, you’re hearing it here first…as am I,” said Jen with a wry smile on her face when Ellen brought it up. “Did Matthew Perry start that?’ she asked. “Because he’s been getting some good airtime on this show. I’ve been watching.” Should Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer all get back together for another season? Bear in mind they all probably die their hair now. Just bear that in mind.
