    Jennifer Aniston interviews Nicole Kidman. Then things got weird.

    Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on set their upcoming movie Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on set their upcoming movie New rule: celebrities should only be interviewed by other celebrities. In this month's issue of Harper's Bazaar, Jennifer Aniston interviews Nicole Kidman, and boy, is it a good read. Stars are always trying to sound down-to-earth in interviews, but if they're talking to one of their own kind they tend to slip up. And that's a good thing. Superstar sensibilities are hiiiii-larious and after filming their upcoming comedy "Just Go With It" in Hawaii, Jen and Nicole were kind enough to share their own. What follows are the best moments from their interview:


    10. Aniston's introduction on how celebs meet and win each other over: "I remember the first time I met Nicole Kidman. We were at a Golden Globes party in 2005 and-typical Hollywood story-we share an agent. Nicole had just seen one of my rom-coms, as they call them, and was instantly kind and complimentary. I loved her immediately."

    9. The actresses proudly acknowledge places that are not LA or NY : JA: "I was just down South in Georgia, and it was heaven to be away from all the irritation of the cameras and all that hubbub." NK: "I was going to move to Oregon." JA: "Oregon? It's gorgeous."

    8. Suggestion they may not have liked working together, despite all the gushing : JA: Do you remember, we had a total of 15 minutes' rehearsal for our hula scene? NK: We were so lazy. JA: You were being such a good student and doing your hula, and I was actually thinking, Aren't we just going to wing this? Neither of us was supposed to know how to hula in the scene. I just thought that would be funnier and would lend itself to more physical comedy.

    7. Weird thing Aniston remembers about Nicole's husband. JA: I remember him bringing you Chinese food on set, being such a good husband while we were all being silly and playing with coconuts.

    6. Weird thing Kidman says about raising teenagers that suggests she really never has: You've got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place. So that's what I wish for them. That means career-wise and just the essence of who we are as people.
    5. Super-duper weird way they both describe fame that suggests they're in a cult: NK: Fame. It's a great thing in the sense of the opportunities it gives you, but you don't realize that you're dancing with the 100-pound gorilla. JK: Yeah, it turns from Glinda the Good Witch into the nasty green one, then back to Glinda again.

    4. Complimentary/self-deprecating high school girl banter that takes up half the page: JA: Okay, let me just say this: Physically, you are a masterpiece. NK: Excuse me, you wear a bikini in the film and you look like you're 20 years old. JA: I think that's Vaseline on the lens. NK: You are a freak of nature. You have the best body I've ever seen. And I'm a heterosexual girl. You look good morning, noon, and night. JA: Oh, please. I live in jeans and flip- flops... But, Nicole, you always have that smart look.

    3. Another crappy part of their job, besides fame gorillas and hula-dancing? Wearing fancy clothes! NK: I don't have time to look through things. I used to be far more into that when I was in my early 20s, but I just don't have the interest anymore. JA: If it looks good, the last thing you want to do is try on 10 couture somethings. NK: Yeah, Renée Zellweger said she's just not interested in having loads of designers make dresses for her; it feels gluttonous. That is so right. It's not the place to be, particularly in your 40s.

    2. Kidman's insensitive comment: NK: I like to ask people if they would rather have a great love that lasts a lifetime or an amazing career where you go down in history. Some people do answer that they want an extraordinary career.

    1. Aniston's insensitive question: JA: Do Isabella and Connor come down to Nashville [where Kidman lives] a lot? NK: No, they don't.
