JENNIFER ANISTON - ANISTON TIPS BARBER FOR HUBBY'S LATEST CHOP

FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON has personally tipped BRAD PITT's favourite barber after he hacked off her husband's long locks.

The Hollywood hunk had no choice but to lose his shaggy look - he is required to look his handsome best for OCEAN'S TWELVE, where he rejoins MATT DAMON and GEORGE CLOONEY as smooth criminals.

Brad insisted on returning to the same backstreet barber he has used from before his mega-stardom days.

A source close to the couple says, "When she found out he was going to have it all cropped off, she sent him with her blessing and a $50 tip from her to the barber as a special thank you."

Fans of Brad's long-haired look will get another chance to see him this May (04) with the release of TROY where he plays the character ACHILLES.

The actor's smart new look comes just in time for this weekend's (23JAN04) GLOBAL GLOBE awards.
