Angelina Jolie & Jennifer Aniston will square off on the big screen later this year when their new movies hit cinemas on the same day.
Brad Pitt's missus' film Changeling is out 24 October - the same day Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer's romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You is released.
But Jen's film is likely to be the bigger hit at the box office because Angie's movie is a limited release, according to Us Weekly magazine.
But pregnant Jolie's film is sure to win the acclaim battle - her performance in Changeling is generating an Oscar buzz, with the star tipped to scoop her second Academy Award for the role.

Lil Wayne's New Album And Upcoming Film Focus On His Hometown, New Orleans
For now, Lil Wayne doesn't have aspirations to be a full-time actor, but he definitely was happy to score a role in the new film "Hurricane Season." The movie centers on a New Orleans high school basketball team called the Patriots in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
"My character's name is Lamont," Wayne explained while sitting on the set in the middle of a gymnasium. "The character is, I would say, a hustler. He goes to the school. He always bets against the school. He's trying to make the best bet. Anything to get money. He sells shoes. ... Towards the end of the movie, he makes his way to becoming a full-blown Patriots fan and representing the school he's with. He enjoys the Patriots as much as everybody else at the end of the day."
The film also stars Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker, as well as Wayne's longtime friend Bow Wow. While Bow will tell you that his priorities have changed from music to films, Weezy is fully enthralled with his microphone.
"If it comes around, it's cool," Wayne said about future Hollywood parts, noting the differences between acting and making music. "I'm not going to be trying out for no roles. I'm not going to be at castings."
Wayne did say he is enjoying making the movie and loves the fact that it actually is being filmed in New Orleans. And one of Tha Carter III's most stirring moments comes via "Tie My Hands," a musical commentary on his hometown that features Robin Thicke.
"I'm just speaking about the city in general," he said of the track. "How we were before the hurricane and how we are after. [I'm saying] everything about the city that somebody that's not from here can't do. I'm from here, born and raised. Telling them what I think about the situation. The way this movie ties into it is that I think the song is positive and gives motivation."
Wayne's Tha Carter III is in stores — finally — on Tuesday (June 10).

Gwyneth Paltrow's Secret To Skinniness
The secret to Gwyneth Paltrow’s slender frame has been revealed – She has a daily 180 minute exercise session.
Chef Mario Batali, who teamed up with the Iron Man actress on their upcoming documentary Spain... On The Road Again, made the revelation to Us magazine.
He said: "I think she works out three hours a day - which is one of the keys to success.
"If we all did that, we’d all look like Gwyneth Paltrow. Or at least closer."
He added that the 35 year old "loves to eat ... and, you know, she never puts on a pound!"

You Don�t Mess with the Zohan
You Don�t Mess with the Zohan
Stars: Adam Sandler, John Turturro
Director: Dennis Dugan
*** 1/2 (out of five)
No one is expecting a treatise on the crisis in the Middle East from Adam Sandler, but the comedian has assumed the role of lightning rod just by setting his film amidst the war that inevitably defeats anyone who says they can solve it.
Sandler plays the title role in the film, a sort of Israeli James Bond with a secret dream of styling hair in New York City, who fakes his death and goes off to live his blow-dried, �80s-inspired dream.
Sandler plays Zohan with an Israeli accent so painstakingly bad that it becomes its own joke, as does the film�s barrage of Hebrew and Arab slang, most of it invented.
Needless to say, most of these newly minted words are euphemisms for breasts, erections, or the sexual act; if Sandler does have any hidden political agenda, it just might be dragging a conflict that�s frequently described as an obscenity down to the level of real smuttiness.
Rejected by Paul Mitchell�s Manhattan salon, Zohan ends up in the boroughs, on a street where Jewish and Muslim businesses sit side by side, cutting hair in a struggling hair salon owned by a pretty Palestinian (Emmanuelle Chriqui), making his reputation by servicing his elderly female clients with the casual hedonism that�s supposed to be a hallmark of Tel Aviv club culture.
His idyllic exile ends when he�s recognized by an Arab cab driver (the inevitable Rob Schneider) who passes the news on to The Phantom (John Turturro), his Palestinian nemesis.
There�s an evil real estate developer, a big showdown, and cameos from Mariah Carey, Chris Rock, John McEnroe and George Takei.
At the end, Sandler imagines that we�d all get along a whole lot better by forgetting our differences and � at least for guys � concentrating on the things that unite us, like sports, consumer electronics, and earnest debates about who we�d rather tap � Hillary or Chelsea.
If only it were that simple.

At 50, Alec Baldwin ponders political career
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin, who has played all kinds of heroes and villains on stage and screen, says he may be ready to take on a new role -- that of real-life politician.
Baldwin told "60 Minutes" television news program in a segment to be aired on Sunday that he is thinking about pursuing his longtime dream of becoming an elected official, CBS said on Thursday.
"There's other things I want to do (besides acting). I mean, in a matter of weeks, I'm going to be 50," Baldwin said. "There's no age limit on running for office, to a degree. (It is) something I might do one day."
The interview took place before he turned 50 on April 3.
The New York resident is known for political activism. In 2006 he told The New York Times that if he were a public official, he might like to be governor of his home state.
Baldwin told "60 Minutes" he would be ready to face the public and the press, in part because of the scrutiny that accompanied his divorce and custody battle with actress Kim Basinger.
In April 2007 a voicemail by Baldwin to his daughter in which he called her a "thoughtless little pig" was widely reported in newspapers, magazines and on television.
"If you go through the things I have gone through with the media like this thing with my daughter, there's only one thing that comes to mind initially -- that is how my daughter must have felt to have this played out in public," Baldwin said.

50 Cent's home destroyed in suspicious fire
50 Cent's multimillion dollar mansion was destroyed in a suspicious fire this morning (May 30).
The home on Long Island, New York was at the centre of a legal dispute between 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins, which became increasingly heated just a few days ago.
Six people inside the Dix Hills home were taken to a hospital for smoke inhalation treatment and then released, including the former girlfriend and a boy fathered by the rapper, reports the Associated Press.
Dix Hills Fire Chief Larry Feld said that the blaze -- which was reported around 5 am and put out 45 minutes later -- seemed suspicious. It is being labeled arson due to its intensity.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, does not live at the home. He and Tompkins have been involved in a legal dispute over the Grammy-nominated rapper's assets, including the home, for several months.
The fire reportedly occurred just a few days after a confrontational meeting at Tompskin's attorney's office.
