Jennifer AnistonShe's been linked to Gerard Butler and Bradley Cooper...

And counts Courteney Cox as one of her closest friends.

So why is it that Jennifer Aniston is still cast in the role of poor ol' lonely spinster by much of the world's media?

It's a label the star herself is acutely aware of.

"I'm not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room," Jen told Elle magazine.

"It's fine. I can take it. If I'm the emblem for 'this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,' so be it."

The 40-year-old star, who divorced her ex Brad Pitt in 2005, says she's happy to help other people who find themselves in a similar situation.

“I support women, men, anybody who is in a place that's not their strongest and who is ready to push forward," she pledged.

Nice one, Jen. Could a career as a shrink be beckoning, we wonder?
