JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON BRINGS CHAMPAGNE GIFTS TO WINFREY

Generous JENNIFER ANISTON had celebration in mind when she joined pal OPRAH WINFREY for the talk show host's 20th season debut yesterday (19SEP05) - she brought along champagne.

The actress' first post-marriage split interview was a major coup for Winfrey, but it was Aniston who came with gifts.

The two women sat on the new Oprah set in Chicago, Illinois, sipping champagne from flutes Aniston had bought her friend and discussed yoga, friendship and her divorce from BRAD PITT.

But before they started chatting, the former FRIENDS star proposed a toast, stating, "It's the christening of the stage and the studio... To you and to everything that you do."

Aniston told Oprah that she's over the worst of her split, and joked that she has been sent several self-help books from friends keen to help her mend her broken heart.

She revealed, "If I had a dollar for every (self-help) book that was sent my way, I could have probably paid for this studio."
