The resolutions of the rich and famous

Name: Jennifer Aniston
Resolved: To win an Oscar. Jennifer Aniston had a rough 2005: dumped by husband Brad Pitt and publicly humiliated by his romance with Angelina Jolie (let's face it: she's prettier, younger, and already has an Oscar), who wouldn't want to crawl under a rock? But Jennifer is a tough New York-bred girl who loves a challenge.

She's good enough, she's smart enough, and gosh darnit, people like her.

She already spent much of 2005 redefining herself as a Big Screen actress with films like "Derailed," "Rumor Has It" and "The Break-Up" (where she met her new loverboy, Vince Vaughn).

But she's no fool: She knows she's going to be thought of as Rachel Green for a long time to come, which is why the ambitious actress is going to go all out for that Oscar gold in 2006 and finally get the Hollywood street cred she so badly craves.

Which resolution will actually happen?

First, since her dramatic turn in "Derailed" (with its very-hyped rape scene) sort of, well ... flopped, she's going to do an even more violent and explicit rape scene (think Jennifer Jason Leigh at the end of "Last Exit to Brooklyn") that those Academy voters won't soon forget. Then, with the backing of the right studio chief (hello, Harvey Weinstein!) she'll remake "The Diary of Anne Frank," playing the part of Anne Frank, of course; true, she'll need the help of computer-generated special effects to make her look like a young girl, but she can always thank the F/X guys in her Oscar speech.

At last, she'll show Brad — and the world — who's the best actress in Hollywood. —J.T.
