Jennifer Aniston out and about in New York (3/31)

Though her rep is denying it, the never-reliable Star is reporting that Jennifer Aniston has already started the process of adopting a baby. A source told the magazine:

"Her best friends all have kids, and Jen sees how much motherhood changed their lives for the best,” says the source. “She's dying to have that!”

Jen has already started planning a $250,000 nursery at her home in Beverly Hills, and has even picked out her nanny. Unlike Angie, she wants a baby from the USA.

Jennifer is getting help from close friends including Sheryl Crow, who adopted a baby boy two years ago. “Sheryl is walking her through the process step by step,” says another insider.

She wants to adopt a baby because all of her friends have one? That doesn't sound like a very healthy rationale. As an aging actress, Jen should want a child for all of the right reasons, like companionship, the joy of motherhood, and to score the cover of Esquire. If Jen really wants to start a family, she should just do what most women in Hollywood seem to do when they want kids: date K-Fed.
