This was taken when Sheryl and Josh were filming so it doesn’t prove much
This week’s In Touch has a story claiming Sheryl Crow is furious at Jennifer Aniston for going out with a guy she used to date, their mutual friend Courteney Cox’s Cougar Town costar, Josh Hopkins. I doubt that In Touch knows anything other than the fact that Sheryl also costarred with Josh, but she might possibly be peeved that Jen is stepping in on her territory. From In Touch’s account, Sheryl and Josh are long over, but it does make Josh seem like he’s game for whichever female guest star shows up on set. He met Sheryl when she also worked on the show with Courteney. The photo In Touch uses with this story is one that was taken on set, though, and I couldn’t find anything to back up their claim that Sheryl and Josh were dating.
According to the insider, Sheryl didn’t find out about Jen, 41, and Josh until after they’d begun dating – and felt betrayed by someone she thought she could trust. Although Sheryl and Josh had only dated a few times, “She was shocked,” the insider shares. “She really likes Josh, and can’t understand why Jen would do something like this.” But she isn’t taking it lying down. The insider says Sheryl, 48, wasted no time asking Josh out again. And it’ll be up to him which friend comes out on top.

I doubt Sheryl asked this guy out again and this is probably the last we’ll hear of this story. Would you be annoyed at a friend if they dated your ex? I wouldn’t be too happy if it was someone I’d been with for a few years, especially if things ended badly or my friend didn’t give me the heads up. It might mean that I would continue to have to see him if I wanted to hang out with my friend. If it was just a casual date-type situation I probably wouldn’t care much if a friend hooked up with an ex. It could be awkward if you’d have to hang out with the both of them, though. I think that Sheryl and Jen have been friends long enough to not be bothered by something like this – if it’s true. Plus, according to Aniston’s rep/an “insider” she’s “going on dates with fun, interesting men!” It’s not like she’s going to get serious with this Josh guy.
Mild Cougar Town spoilers
People has new photos of Jennifer in character as the psychiatrist for Courteney’s character on Cougar Town. She looks really pretty and is sporting a kind of dressy Bohemian style. In one picture, she’s posing with a white pooch on a bench. I read a spoiler in this week’s US Weekly and I won’t give it away but the dog features prominently in the plot for that episode. It will air for the Cougar Town season two premiere on September 22. I would watch it, as much as that show bugs me.
