We're pretty solidly Team Aniston, but are even more solidly Team Gunn. So we must agree with Tim's assessment of Jen's post-Idiot (Mayer The Player gag) wardrobe. Oh, we still think she looks miles better without that ass, but when a style expert like Tim speaks out, we defer. Oh yes, we defer.

In Tim's learned opinion, lately Jen's wardrobe is unintentionally giving out the message that she is a "desperate character." While hanging with Project Runway Season 3 finalist Laura Bennett at the launch party for Tide and Downy Total Care, Tim told OK! Magazine that "She's a gorgeous woman," who "understands her fashion" so there is hope for her to rebound.

Tim is less kind about Miley Cyrus, who he said looks tarty and dresses too old for her 15 years. And he said, quite rightly, that Katie Holmes is looking like dowdy European royalty.

Sigh. We need this kindly but blunt voice of reason. Season two of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style cannot get here soon enough for us!

The gossip rags are saying that the May-December romance of the century, Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer, is over. So soon? But they didn't even have a cute name yet!

Actually we are delighted for Jen, especially since People reports that she looks better than ever. John Mayer is such a tool, and he's had an insidious effect on the style of previous girlfriends, most notably Jessica Simpson.

Beautiful actress Minka Kelly is probably best known for her role as Lyla Garrity on the television show Friday Night Light and for her fling with musician John Mayer. Interestingly, she is also the only child of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. If you don't know, now you know! But back to her style.

Here Minka strolls the red carpet at the NBC Universal 2008 Press Tour All-Star Party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on July 20 in an absolutely stunning Missoni maxi dress. We love how Minka lets the nude number speak for itself and keeps her hair and jewelry simple and sophisticated. Quite possibly one of our summertime favorites thus far.

• Missoni strapless dress, Bloomingdale's, $475

Next time you feel crappy about yourself because you don't measure up to Hollywood types, remember this: in addition to the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year celebrities spend on clothing, some rack up huge beauty bills -- like Jennifer Aniston, who drops $20,000 a month just to look good.

Now that the former Friends star is engaged to a John Mayer, she's working hard to keep up with the younger competition. Take a look at her biggest budget breakers:

• Personal training and private yoga instruction: $3,000
• Private chef who prepares organic, high-protein, low-fat meals: $3,500
• "Anti-cellulite spa sculpting" treatments: $1,000 per session

Holy crap. That's more than most people spend in a month -- on everything (mortgages, car payments, college tuition, blah blah blah). No wonder Jen looks so great!

What do the stars hold for the stars this week? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The lives of celebs are much more glamorous and sexy, including their horoscopes. This is a sneak peek into the astrological powers that influence fame and fortune.

Musician John Mayer has always sported the messy singer-songwriter look. You know what I'm talking about... Shaggy hair, pasty face, sloppy shirts. However, the gossip blogosphere has recently exploded with pictures of Mayer's new clean-cut look. I must say, it's a huge upgrade. Really, the only big change was a sweet haircut, but look at what a difference it has made! It's amazing what such a minor change can do.

It looks like Mayer is on his way to a cooler, more sophisticated look. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his increasingly orange Muppet girlfriend, Jessica Simpson.

StyleFoul: Mandy Moore looked like she rolled out of bed after a hard night of partying. Literally. Did the singer take the floral bedsheet of her bed, wrap it around her, and affix it to her body with a belt?
StyleFix: Go to bed earlier, Mandy. Wake up earlier. Take a shower. Find a real dress.

StyleFoul: Justin Timberlake in a silver suit that looks like he borrowed it from his father's closet. Or maybe from the Goodwill pile.
StyleFix: The man is a fashion designer now. Doesn't he have access to a sewing machine somewhere?

StyleFoul: Hillary Duff - Wild, bedhead hair colored way too dark to match what a too-small shiny Dolce & Gabbana dress. The dress looks like a nightie.
StyleFix: The adorable pop actress/singer should have kept her hair a lighter, natural color. Everything else wouldn't have looked so cheap.

StyleFoul: The Pussycat Dolls. All of them. Enough said.
StyleFix: We're not sure how we could fix these ladies.

StyleFoul: John Mayer very adorably paired a pair of Nikes with his tux -- we don't consider that a StyleFoul at all. But his bowtie was way too small.
StyleFix: He could have used the bow as a barette for his hair, and worn a regular sized bow tie.

Aldo, the shoe and purse retailer best known for chic styles and inexpensive prices, is doing charity right. In honor of World AIDS Day (December 1, officially) Aldo unveiled a new tote bag, especially designed for the cause by a host of well-known celebrities and musicians.

However, instead of using celebrity power to raise the price of the tote through the roof, donating a paltry amount to the charity, and pocketing the rest, Aldo is selling the anti-AIDS tote for $5.00 and 100% of the proceeds go to YouthAIDS. Since the initial launch of the Aldo fights AIDS campaign a year ago, the company has raised over 2.8 million dollars for the cause.

Featuring photographs shot by Peter Lindbergh, the tote is covered in back and white photos of the participating celebrity supporters and designers, including Adrien Brody, Avril Lavigne, Brittany Murphy, Dave Navarro, Eva Mendes, John Mayer, Wynonna Judd, and Ziggy Marley.
