Cover: Why They Can't Find Love (Aniston, Diaz, Jessica Simpson) The nightmare of dating in Hollywood-men are intimidated-Hollywood breeds narcissism-small dating pool-you're replaceable-everyone is watching-their prime career years fall in their 20s and 30s

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell wedding details-Married at their ranch after a 2-year engagement. Guests dined on picnic tables. A gospel choir sang "I Want to Know What Love Is" as she walked down the aisle. Red velvet cupcakes instead of wedding cake.

Britney Asks to be a Waitress-She was at the restaurant/club Les Deux and asked if they were hiring --even talked to the manager and went over which days she was free. She liked what the waitresses wear: red corsets and tight black skirts (although she asked if she could make her own version). She had a rift with cousin/assistant Alli -- she recently "tested" her to see if she was leaking secrets to the press. Asked if he was worried about his ex Kevin Federline told Us, "We all are." Her bodyguard tells Us that he and Britney are not dating.

Get Your Guy in Shape -- male makeovers! Nick Carter lost 44 pounds in seven months (he weighed 224) -- he boxes with a trainer, wrote down everything he ate; he looks great! Joey Fatone -- lost two sizes from Dancing with the Stars; also ate his wife's NutriSystem
