There is a new "Bennifer" for 2004. Ben Stiller will soon be seen as Starsky in the big screen version of the popular t.v. show Starsky and Hutch. With Friends ending, Jennifer Aniston is happy that she's also become popular on theater screens especially after successful roles in The Good Girl and Bruce Almighty. She next plays a free-spirited hippy-chick who drags repressed, anal-retentive business dude Ben out of his shell in the new romantic comedy Along Came Polly.

Ben looked casual and cute and Jen very classy in a black turtleneck and silver bangle bracelets when we chatted with the duo before the Holidays at the 4 Seasons hotel in L.A. There was obviously a warm camaraderie as the stars kidded each other in a dual interview and talked about salsa dancing, approaches to comedy, the end of Friends, Ben's neuroses and...getting bitten by a ferret!

TeenHollywood: How do you go back and forth between dramatic roles and comedic roles? How do you prepare?

Jennifer: I don't know. Life can be dramatic and funny all in the same day. With The Good Girl I was also going back and forth from "Friends" to that in one day. So I don't know. I think you just step into the building and that other stuff kind of goes out the door. It is the material. If you work from right in here [stomach] which I know Ben does just because he's so natural and so good.
