JENNIFER ANISTON fiercely despised being defined by her hairdo, so she impulsively chopped it into a bob not long after she married Brad Pitt. "I did it mainly to relieve me of the bondage of self," she tells May's Vanity Fair, sounding very Naomi Wolf. Umpteen fashion magazines raved about it. But it turns out she hates this new look. No, wait. HATES it. Truth be told, as a top British hairdresser noted, it's less than flattering to Aniston's long chin. "It's just not me. I hide behind my hair," she says. "It's my shield...

...Snatch is, of course, an innocuous verb, but--sorry, Grandma--it also moonlights as slang for female genitalia.) As in Lock, Stock, writer-director Ritchie returns to the mean streets of London where high-octane lowlifes compete in fixed fights and diamond heists. This time Ritchie brings along Brad Pitt as a quick-talking, bareknuckle-boxing Gypsy. Pitt was such a fan of Ritchie's work that he took a pay cut to join Benicio Del Toro and Dennis Farina in the ensemble; Snatch's entire budget is about half Pitt's usual $20 million...

Snatch ups the ante and goes international. This time the Cockneys and Afro-Brits are joined by crooks Russian, Hasidic-American and crypto-Irish Gypsy (a funny, blarney-spewing Brad Pitt). The big prize is a diamond the size of Ritchie's narrative ambitions. And the winners? They're the few blokes left alive...
