People magazine's Most Beautiful Woman, a delightfully random title given to a handful of actresses every year, has finally settled on its winners. This time, the roulette wheel has landed on repeat–Most Beautiful Woman Jennifer Aniston, who also took home the title in 2004.

She tops the list of seven other stars included in the magazine's "Most Beautiful Woman" cover story, which, in no particular order, are Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara, Keke Palmer, Selena Gomez, Meagan Good, Carrie Underwood, and Christina Milian.

Like all past Most Beautiful Woman stories, this one also succeeds in confirming the unfortunate truth that even professionally beautiful actresses have had to overcome the same body insecurities and idiotic comments from random men that we non-professionally beautiful people do. After retelling a story of how an agent once told her she didn't get a part because she was "too chubby," Aniston said she defines beauty by "Taking on challenges and not feeling shame for things that haven't gone the way you felt they should have. And not feeling like a failure or allowing people to critique your life and make you feel like you've failed at something."
