Jennifer Aniston has big plans for 2010 - the Hollywood actress is planning to open her own restaurant. The former Friends star is hoping to indulge her love of spicy food by launching an upmarket Mexican eaterie in New York.

Rumors of Aniston's plan to open a restaurant began back in the summer, and now the actress has confirmed she is in negotiations to put it into action.

She tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "If all goes well I hope to open a Mexican restaurant in New York City in 2010. I love Mexican food. I'll mingle with customers and be a guest waitress."

Aniston will follow in the footsteps of another TV star if her dream comes to fruition - Eva Longoria Parker owns a Mexican American restaurant in Los Angeles called Beso.
