Jen 'world's most eligible' singleton

Jennifer Aniston has been named the Most Eligible Single Woman In The World.

The former ‘Friends’ actress – who was married to Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt for five years before divorcing in 2005 – topped the poll conducted by Vanity Fair magazine and TV show ‘60 Minutes’ claiming 29$ of the vote.

The 41-year-old actress – currently single despite recently being linked to former boyfriend John Mayer and Hard Rock heir Harry Morton – narrowly beat ‘Monster’s Ball’ star Halle Berry to the title in the telephone poll of 906 Americans.

Halle – who recently split from model Gabriel Aubry, the father of her two-year-old daughter Nahla – received 21% of the vote.

Tiger Wood’s ex-wife Elin Nordegren, who recently received a rumoured $60m divorce settlement from the cheating golfer, came third with 15%, while 88-year-old comedienne Betty White – who has been single since her husband Allen Ludden passed away in 1981 - came fourth with 11%.

Eccentric singer Lady Gaga received 5% of the vote, even though she is reportedly planning to marry her boyfriend Luc Carl in a British castle in December.

Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Elena Kagan came last with 4%.
