Too Much Celebrity Skin: “Friends” actress Jennifer Aniston sued the publishers of the X-rated magazine Celebrity Skin on Monday for printing photographs of her sunbathing topless in her backyard. The lawsuit claims the New York magazine violated Aniston’s right to privacy. Aniston, 31, and “Friends” co-stars Courtney Cox Arquette and Lisa Kudrow were featured on the magazine cover with the headline “First Time Photos--Friends Stars X-Posed.” The lawsuit against Man’s World Publications and Crescent Publishing Group claims that a “stalkerazzi” snapped the photos of her after climbing a neighbor’s fence. Aniston, who married actor Brad Pitt on July 29, seeks unspecified damages and wants a judge to order the publisher to stop distributing the pictures. Meantime, production on the seventh season premiere of “Friends” began Tuesday. New episodes begin on NBC in October.

Thoughts of Norma Jean: The September edition of Vanity Fair reports that baseball great Joe DiMaggio’s last thoughts were of his ex-wife Marilyn Monroe just before he died last year at age 84. The article quoted DiMaggio’s longtime lawyer, Morris Engelberg, who said DiMaggio whispered, “I’ll finally get to see Marilyn” before he died. Engelberg also described the former New York Yankee as brooding daily over the loss of Monroe, who died at age 36 in 1962 and whom he considered the love of his life. DiMaggio died on March 8, 1999, 37 years later. The couple were married in 1954 and divorced the next year.
