Jennifer Aniston is going to prison for her next flick.

The actress, 40, will star in Goree Girls, based on a true story about an all-female country band that played in a Texas prison in the 1940s, Variety reports.

She’ll produce the movie, in which the eight women in the band become famous and are eventually pardoned, as well.

Aniston also recently signed on to headline Pumas, which centers on two thirtysomething women who make a habit of romancing younger men.

She first mentioned the project in December’s Vogue — the same issue where she said comments Angelina Jolie made about her relationship with ex Brad Pitt were “uncool” — describing it as a “female Wedding Crashers.”

Jennifer Aniston — who has yet to find love since her 2005 split from Brad Pitt — says she is aware of what’s been whispered behind her back.

“I’m not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room,” the actress, 40, tells the September issue of Elle. “It’s fine. I can take it.”

She says she’s fully supportive of “anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest [but] is ready to push forward.”

“If I’m the emblem for ‘this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,’ so be it,” says the actress, who was recently linked to Bradley Cooper following splits with Vince Vaughn, Paul Sculfor and John Mayer. “I can make fun of myself. And I’ll bring it up as long as the world is bringing it up.”

She says she’s always used humor to get her through tough situations.

“I remember being 7 and asking my mom if I was as pretty as [my best friend] Monique,” she recalls. “And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, ‘Oh, honey, you’re so funny.’ So, she doesn’t lie to me . . . She answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength.”

Her parents made each other laugh “like nobody’s business,” she says. “I put a lot of value in that at a very young age.”

But that hasn’t always easy: Her father, soap star John, left her mom, Nancy, when she was 9.

Says the actress, “My dad walking out and not seeing him for a year and not knowing where he was . . . Trying to understand, ‘Where did that person go?’”

Jennifer Aniston has even more in common with her best pal Courteney Cox: They’ve both landed roles playing cougars.

While Courteney Cox gears up for the premiere of her new TV series Cougar Town — which debuts Sept. 23 on ABC — it was announced Thursday that Jen will also be playing a woman interested in younger men in the upcoming film Pumas.

The romantic comedy centers on two thirtysomething gals — known for romancing younger fellas — who go on a French skiing vacation that “challenges their romantic expectations.”

Jen has wrapped on three other films: Love Happens, The Baster and Bounty Hunter.
