Jennifer Aniston: Women Don't Need Men to Be Good Moms

In her new movie The Switch, Jennifer Aniston plays a woman who decides to get pregnant in a non-traditional way – with a "turkey baster," her friend jokes in the film.  During a press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Sunday, the actress defended her character's leap into single motherhood by using a sperm donor.  "Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."

"Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," Aniston, 41, said. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."


When asked about the repercussions of raising a child without a father, Aniston said she believes all types of families can raise healthy kids.  "The point of the movie is what is it that defines family? It isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot," she said. "Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere. That is what I love about this movie. It is saying it is not the traditional sort of stereotype of what we have been taught as a society of what family is."  Aniston, who has been the subject of frequent tabloid rumors about having children, said she still wants to be a mom. "Yeah, I have said it years before and I still say it today," she said when asked if she still wants to have a family.  But she won't be using a turkey baster: "I don't have plans on that, no."

Internet call service Skype files for IPO

NEW YORK: Skype SA, the Internet calling service that was controlled until last year by eBay Inc, filed for a US initial public offering. Luxembourg-based Skype tentatively put the value of the offering at US$100mil (RM320mil), but that's a rough estimate only used as a basis for calculating the filing fee for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Skype did not say when its shares would go on sale, or at what price. It expects to list on the Nasdaq Stock Market under an unspecified symbol.  eBay sold 70% of Skype for US$2bil (RM6.4bil) to an investor group led by private equity firm Silver Lake, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Andreessen Horowitz. The group owns 56% of the company.  The remaining 14% is owned by Joltid, a firm controlled by the founders of Skype, Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis. EBay kept a 30% stake.

Friis and Zennstrom sold Skype to eBay for US$2.6bil (RM8.3bil today) in 2005 and left the company in 2007. Between Nov 19, 2009, when it became independent of eBay, and Dec 31, Skype lost US$99.7mil (RM319mil) on US$92.4mil (RM296mil) in revenue, according to the filing with the SEC.Calls between Skype users are free. The company makes most of its money from calls that Skype users place to landline and cellular phones. Skype said a portion of the IPO shares will be made available to its customers, "based on the nature and extent of their relationship with Skype."

Another Internet calling service, Vonage Holdings Corp, offered shares to its customers in its 2006 IPO. That turned into a disaster, as unsophisticated investors jumped at the chance to participate, thinking that they could cash out soon. The shares tanked immediately after going on sale, and have never recovered their value. Lawsuits followed.
