Jennifer Aniston is not returning to TV, her rep tells Usmagazine.com.

Reports claiming the star, 40, agreed to host a weekly talk show for Oprah Winfrey's new cable channel are "absolutely false," her rep tells Us.

A spokesperson for OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, also denied the report.

"OWN is not in discussions with Jennifer Aniston to host a weekly talk show," the spokesperson tells Us.

The fabricated story, reported by London's Daily Express newspaper, OK! and The New York Post, claimed that salary wasn't a factor for The Bounty actress.

"She is doing this for one reason only -- she absolutely wants to do it," the paper alleged, citing a source close to the deal at OWN. The report also claimed late night talk show host Chelsea Handler played a role in Aniston's decision to take the job.

Although Aniston has made guest appearances on such hit shows as 30 Rock, Aniston has not returned to the small screen on a regular basis since her 10-year role as Rachel Green on Friends.

    This is truly an ugly dog of a woman! Its no wonder all the men use her up and then dump her fast. Man, can she ever get the hint, and yes, she knows that she's freakin ugly, too! Bad actress, super ugly face, and her whole body and face are fake. trust me, she has alot of money, and she makes her doctor visits yearly, just so that she can try and keep looking like she's 20. BUT, IN REALITY, SHE'S SO TOTALLY HONESTLY SUPER UGLY, AND TOTALLY DOG LOOKING. OMG! JUST TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT VERY, VERY UGLY FACE! YUK! NO DOUBLE YUK!! Phylis & Brad

    Anonymous! You obviously have never had your heart broken ,or you're simply a cold hearted shrew!Being dumped publicly by your HUSBAND,and have it plastered everywhere is bad enough,but Jenifer loved Brad ,Some people take a lifetime to get over something so hurtful.And Angelina the she freak hore who had too nasty of a past to give a care about who she was hurting.So yes I hope that Brad is VERY miserable..

    I am so fed up with Aniston's crap. She is not a good actress. Has she ever been in a good movie?. She is most remembered by her long ago friends series than for any movie. Needless to say that she is more a tabloid material for being dumped by her dates than for her work as an actress.

    Let me just say I believe Jen has long since moved on from Brad and as far as the homewrecker he hooked up with Jen makes her look like s**t!!! Jen is beautiful inside and out and that woman can't hold a candle to her. Jen is a terrific actress and a great person so screw anyone who has anything bad to say about her!! Also she and Courteney are best friends and are there for each other it's not one sided just because Court is married doesn't mean she doesn't ever have any problems that is what true friendship is being there for each other in good and bad times you don't keep score on who has had a harder time. GROW UP!!

    JENNIFER is gorgeous; she would make a great talk-show host, but she doesn't need the money. She is soooo busy with movies, guest appearances & especially humanitarian works, which she keep as private as she can. She is beautiful inside as well as out! Jennifer is so involved in charitable organizations; I'm surprised that she has time to even see friends...such a lovely woman! We love you Jen!

    Sorry, rhonda, good post but you are wrong. Aniston has never let it go. She has played the victim card very well, and almost always trots it out for sympathy when she has yet another one of her B-movies coming out. That is why I am no longer a fan of hers. It has been too long now for her to continue playing the poor victim (yes, she does) and if she could please try to get over it then maybe the rest of us will let it go, too. I'd like to be a fan of hers again.

    Obviously all of you completed grade one since you can spell simplistic words. Get off it, Aniston could care less about Angelina and Brad. Aniston let it go along time ago, Pitt and Jolie are together and Aniston lives a life we all wish we could, no dependents, great body, wealthy, single and she can do whatever she wants..I'd say the only ones with the problem of letting go are the Jolie psychos and the Aniston Idiots, gosh I mean fans.

    Jen has the gift of gab, and I enjoy her interviews, but her plate is full, and she needs some free time. She is looking real good too!

  • October 27, 2009 - 10:04am Brat

    Are you people crazy? Why are people even commenting on Angelina & Brad? No where are they mentioned in the article. I think you are the ones who can't let anything go... move on people.

    Love Jennifer, hope she is enjoying her time off.

  • October 26, 2009 - 9:03pm If Maniston hasn't found love yet (God knows she's dated everyone), she never will

    She should just start going out with gay guys. At least she will have company and it will get Courtney Cox off the hook. Courtney Cox is prolly so sick to death of Maniston's tears over Santa Angelina. Plus, Courtney is settled with a family and Maniston's never been.

  • October 26, 2009 - 8:28pm Calm Down

    Good Girls DO Win (Jennifer is Proof)! Says: wow! biteter much. why do you have to assume that person is a fan of angelina just because he/she made a negative comment about jennifer. not all jennifer haters are angelina fans and vice versa.

  • October 26, 2009 - 8:24pm Good career move for Rachel - Bitter, dumped 40ish, no kids cry baby gets talk show

    Only problem is not too many people can relate to Rachel Green. Most women have children in their 40's. Or, at least they don't dress like teenagers like Maniston. Even though Maniston's been dumped by every guy in Hollywood, she has a ton of money to use as tissues. Most women cannot relate to her. Retire Manison. There are more Rachel Green roles left for you to play. You've ruined every movie with your Rachel Green character.

    Wow, Brad must be so happy that he wakes up every morning to undeniable beauty, and not that anymore, ugh.

  • October 26, 2009 - 7:33pm I agree - she can't act - her career is over - sell something on QVC or try a talk show, Rachel

    A talk show might be good for her. She has a huge fan club of dumped women who could cry with her all through the talk show. They can throw darts at happy Brad and Angie's pictures
