OlderJennifer Aniston’s Curtain Call
Jennifer Aniston took her curtain call on stage earlier this evening for her Broadway debut in the 10-minute play, Three Girls and Bob. Jen played a single woman who attends an intimacy workshop with two friends (Rosie Perez and Lynn Whitfield) and then tries out its lessons on a hapless man (David Cross).
Jen’s play was part of The 6th Annual “24 Hour Plays” on Broadway to benefit the Working Playground, Inc. at NYC’s American Airlines Theatre. Jen, 37, arrived at 8 AM and rehearsed through the day. Technical rehearsals ran from 5 PM to 7:30 PM. Doors opened at 7:45 PM and the curtain rose at 8 PM. I am oh so curious to hear the reviews…
Co-star Rosie Perez said: “We had a real boost from Jennifer Aniston. She was as sweet as pie. I really appreciated her coming because she raised the profile of tonight’s event and that is going to help so much. She didn’t have to do this. She didn’t have to take time out of her schedule.”
Jen, 37, was accompanied on stage by fellow actors Nia Vardalos, Anna Paquin, Lynn Whitfield, Kieran Culkin, and Erika Christensen (pictured below). More pictures in the gallery!
UPDATE :: The New York Post says: “Jennifer Aniston made a hit debut on Broadway last night.”

10 minutes of success on stage and behind the camera is more honorable than 10 minutes in the bedroom which is what someone else is best known for….
Why on EVERY JA thread the debate has to start IF Brad cheated or not?Let it go for the love of GOD people,this crap is almost 2 years old!!!!!!!Move forward,it is not mentally healthy to pine about a divorce that was not even yours!!!!
Weenie;
Why you talking about Paris Hilton?
His actions during his separation were not inappropriate. H e was a free man just like Jen was free to dry hump VV on a balcony for all the world to see.
Please stop being so judgemental. Jen said herself n that VF article that Brad was single and could do what he wanted. (gee, that was soo generous of her)

ITA. Brad had a lot to be upset with, with Jennifer, one of which are her countless statments in interviews since 2001 that she wanted children with him. Jennifer was admitting in all those interviews that she wanted about 2 kids, and he wanted 7. Obviously she was saying the same thing to him all that time.
Her timeline has always been “As soon as Friends ends”. But when that end came, Brad found out that Jennifer had signed up for a bunch of back-to-back movies.
I think their marriage was done a long time prior to the announcement of their break up, and kept quiet.
Brad did protect Jennifer and he did act with dignity and grace when he disclosed nothing about the reasons for their divorce-he went as far as to let Jennifer file for divorce. He spoke with the best words about their relationship and her, and then he let it rest.
To give her months of waiting to have a baby is to ask too much of someone who had spent 7 years with her.
He did not owe her a thing anymore after he treated their divorce with discretion in the press.
What Brad did had nothing to do with what Jennifer would have liked-she wanted more of the patience that Brad had shown throughout their marriage-but there was none left.
Brad was 41 yrs old, and had to pick up his own life and dreams as soon as was legally possible.
He had a new woman in his life. To say to Angelina “I want us to wait to have a baby because I think of how it would look to …Jen” would have made angelina dump him, and him look like a wimp who’s not over his X.
If you think about it from the viewpoint of Brad and Angelina, there was no way to care about what Jennifer wanted, and still maintain their own relationship.

Its nice to know someone understands what Im saying - Its not about hating anyone - its about showing respect for a love that is gone or done. And not throwing your x under the bus by shoving your latest love in everyones face. I dont know when the appropriate time is but surely it could have been handled better and with more class & dignity. When I came to this site I used to just read the BAMZS thread because I do think they are interesting - but some of the posters were just so hateful and cruel - I felt I had to give it back to them a little - she did just get coldly dumped and nobody would want to feel that way. And what bothered me more than AJ/BP was the idolization of the posters - none of my business im sure but ive always felt we can all love whomever we wish but at least be clear on who that person is. I guess none of us really know any of them but I never WITNESSED Aniston doing anything even remotely as cruel as the hand she was dealt. And why is it a crime for a woman in her late 30’s to be without a child and have a dog?? This is not the 1920’s when a woman became a spinster if she’s single after 20. Its not fair and thats archaic to me as well. I remember hearing about the VF interview where the worst thing she said about him was about the sensitivity chip. I gotta say If thats the worst she’s said than she’s obviously handled herself with more class than they. Also she seems to have many many friends for long periods of time and that says alot. I hope they all live and love and keep on keepin on!
To say to Angelina “I want us to wait to have a baby because I think of how it would look to …Jen” would have made angelina dump him, and him look like a wimp who’s not over his X.

That doesnt say much about Angelina in my opinion - take the womans husband but leave her a little dignity. Life is not supposed to be ME, ME, ME all the time. There are other people in this world too. And btw he hasn’t been to worried about looking like a wimp to anyone - for a long time most people thought he looked whipped and like he was chasing after AJ.
There is a house that is condemned. The plumbing doesn’t work, the electricity is beyond repair, the AVAC is shot to the curb. It is termite infested because all of the wood is rotten and the foundation was built on leggos. How long do you wait to buy another house? Both owner’s agree that it’s condemned and beyond repair. It didn’t just get that way. It deteriorated just like anything else that is NOT maintained. Actually both owner’s are pretty happy to get rid of it. They made the decision to get rid of it long before everyone knew it was condemned. In fact, one of the owner’s told the other one that HE was INTERESTED in another home, but just wasn’t sure. This was fine because SHE was interested in looking for another one. So they told their friends and family, condemned the house and moved on. Since HE decided on the other house after all, SHE became angry and complained. Like HE said, ‘He’s not the bad guy here”-

Truer words were never spoken-they apply to Jennifer perfectly.
In the longet part of her marriage, it was “I don’t want children due to my TV series ) ME, Me, Me”)
“Brad , I have signed up for 4 movies now that Friends is over (Me, ME,ME”)
“Brad,i know I’ve filed for divorce and we’re both free to be with someone else, but you should wait until you let it be known you have Angelina in your life because it hurts my image and makes me feel rejected (ME, ME, ME).

How did Brad shove his latest love in everyone face? Did he ask the paps to follow him everywhere? Did he ask the media print pictures of him and jolie? Did he give tell all interviews about his relationship with jolie? If you were honest you just admit that you and others like you are pissed off that Brad moved on with Jolie. Why the double standard? Aniston was photographed with Vince Vaughn in Feb 2005, Brad was photographed with jolie in April 2005. What was the correct time…please tell me.
you said:

Class and dignity? lol Where I am from class and dignity means the following: You don’t air your dirty laundry in public. Class would mean you don’t sell your personal life for professional gain: ex: One month after your seperation you sign up for a movie called the “The Breakup” , I mean how is that different that w magazine photoshoot. Why the double standard?
You said:

Where did you get the info that she got COLDLY dumped? In Touch, Ne, Us Weekly, or People Magazine…I would love to know why you guys have such faith in what tabloids print.
You said:

Funny what fans ignore..I seem to remember Aniston making fun of Britney Spears short marriage, she did a very mean spirited thing by making fun of Britney Spears on Saturday Night Live, and on Letterman,,I remember thinking at the time , that Aniston as a grown woman shouldn’t be making fun of Spears who was still a baby, If the Vanity Fair article which attacked angelinas kids was not cruel , then I don’t know what would be. In fact I remember in the Vanity Fair article aniston feelings were hurt by kimberlys stewarts comments that she was homely, yet in the very same article she makes fun of Brads hair, and his missing chip, In my opinion her fans feel it is okay for her to make fun of other , but it not okay for people to make fun of her, she is reaping what she sowed, Class would be keeping your mouth shut and living life.
Remember how Brad was painted the bad guy after he dumped Paltrow?
And how he said nothing against her?
and how years later Paltrow came out finally, admitting it was her fault, that she hurt him, and had suffered because of it for 5 years?
And how Brad still never said anything against her?
Well, that’s Brad, when he’s done, he’s DONE, and he doesn’t speak against the woman.
given that that’s how he always has acted, he did the same in the case of Jennifer-not a word “why” and not a word against her.
Jennifer is the one that went to shows and gave interviews with tears, paonting him like the bad guy, and having her girlfriends there, to say the things against him she didn’t want to say, but the effect was the same.
Anone who reads Jennifer’s Vanity Fair interview and doen’t see what was the planned effect, is not mentally able to have a valid opinion on this subject.

sad… Well said! Maniston did all kinds of things(for one straddling Vince, and practically ******** him in public) and she said all kinds of things about Brad, and Brad never once said anything about her. Not once did he do that.

Don’t presume that others don’t like Aniston because you don’t. Jennifer has always been considered a real pro in her work and those who work with her say glowing things.
————————————————
Sure ..*rolling eyes* that Jennifer Aniston is “a real pro in her work and those who work with her say glowing things”, up until the point when her movie turns out to be a flop and then she blames everyone for its failure.
Aniston better hurry on home. Her girlfriend Courtney Cox was out last night with another, Sheryl Crow. I mean Aniston bought a new house just down the road from CC so this kind of thing would no longer happen.
#112 CLINIQUA …ITA I can’t understand where
“she looks amazing” comes from. She is very average.
Where is her stylist because girlfriends hair is FRIED. The split ends are visible and her hair is dry. Let alone it’s the same damn one she’s had for like 8yrs.
Honestly, why does she keep all in her face all the time?
~You Aniston fans has to admit It,The B/A fans have their facts in line .. You should stop arguing with the truth and know that they are on Huvane and Jennifer’s game. J/H tried to ruin Brads career while trying to make her a movie star by way of pity and victim. They made a mess. Brad and Angie are real movie stars. The PR game J/A and S/h played has dimed her star. She is to blame ,not B/A. Those two has not spoken one word about her,she has spoken many not nice words about them. B/A are the ones with class and dignity.
Peace~

I totally agree with you from A-Z. I too don’t hate Jennifer and i am not against her refusal to start her family, although i find that abnormal, after all no one should be forced to start a family when she doesn’t want to, Brad himself respected this fact and chose to protect her and defended her in the media numerous times. The point here is how she backstabbed him by releasing interviews about their marriage and allowing strangers (her friends) to comment on her ex! Can anyone explain to me the reasons behind calling him “diabolical” and accusing him of never wanting children??? WTH was that about, I would have understand this if he revealed the truth about her of not wanting kids but he DIDN’T and in fact defended her numerous times. This is the whole argument, yes no one knows what happened between them but we can at least judge from their interviews and she obviously was not into kids and yet she had the cruel audacity to appear to the public and twist facts. She couldn’t validate the cheating rumors so she tried to spin the kids issue around and vilify him. She dared to question his sensitivity AFTER she filed for divorce and YET he didn’t question her sincerity when she was humping her Vince before the ink was signed. Jennifer crazed fans can’t even make a straight point here. If Brad had to respect his dead marriage, Jennifer should be asked to do the same and clearly she didn’t. If you call her actiona retaliation then his action is also a retaliation for what he faced during that marriage.
How did he flaunt his relationship with Angelina???? The man didn’t ask the pappz to follow him to Kenya. It’s not like he went out to the balcony and started to make out in the public. The man has restrained from kissing or doing any PDA with her. ‘W’ photoshoot no matter how her fans will interpret it IT was about promotion. he has done this before for ‘Fight Club’ and again this was released 6 months after the seperation! Or was his fault that he created a family with a woman AFTER he was LEGALLY divorced?
Pimpcessa you don’t even make sense anymore. You started accusing Angelina of soing charity for PR, then accuse her for being unstable going to dangerous places and then you started to question Brad’s morality because he moved on with his life EVEN when you admitted yourself you don’t know when is the right time to move on!!
Please go to the Dlisted to this same themed thread and tear JA to shreds. I’m serious. I can hardly read the praising an genuflecting to St **** going on there. I’m surprised there isn’t a glow from all the JA worship going on ther when you you click it on.
It sounds like you all need to move on…

that should only tell you that I dont hate just because….. I only want to want everyone to love and get on with their life. So why are all of us even having this conversation - I dont hate anyone - I believe all should be happy! Do you really not see the reasons for my questiona?? And btw I do make sense! You are not going to make me think anything with that attitude - obviously you do care what people think - but have some patience - and own up to what your looking for. You DO CARE and CUT THE CRAP AND MAYBE A LIL UNDERSTANDING IS WHAT MATTERS - otherwise you wouldnt be on this thread. Im not attacking you - have a lil empathy.
why does all the coments always have to be ******??
who cares why they broke up …it’s over.

really? you dont see empathy in me! I thought i made it clear that i do empathize with Brad. I would have empathized with Jennifer if she was in his shoes. I dont understand the idea that either we side with Jennifer OR it automatically means we dont have feelings! Brad is a human being also and there are reason why so many, including myself, sided with him and NO it has nothing to do with him being handsome or this kind of shallow rantings. Perhaps you project your personal life here which is quite understandable but remember many others are projecting their personal life. In fact i dont want to get philosphical here but i do believe we side with people who shares our values or who we think they share our values. Although i feel for Brad and Angelina, but Brad mostly, i know i agree with everything he does like pot smoking but i know i do agree with his desire to be a father and his way of handling one of the most publicized divorce. Anyway like you I want everyone here to be happy and i never defended celebrities before but i found myself defending Brad and Angelina due to the wave of unfair criticism and judgment by some people. Enough is enough.
* I know i dont agree with everything he does like pot smoking*
pimpcessa, my thought is that of course Brad isn’t going to say anything about Jen when they divorced….because he was the one to blame. He’s not going to badmouth himself!!!!
