Maniston was worth 110 Million. Then what is this never ending pity-party all about ?

She and Huvane were really milking the divorce for their own GREEDY self.

sounds like Jolie fans are little jealous that Jen can buy and sell their idol.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

ANd particularly jealous that Jolie can’t seem for the life of her make as bad a film as Derailed and Rumor Has It and get as bad reviews as the aforementioned films.

In addition, I am plenty jealous that Jolie can’t have a stellar TV career instead of a film one.

I am too jealous that Jolie can’t be 38 and childless.

What is wrong with Angelina? geez…

Jared you need to do something about these people.

She is rich, attractive, has a nice body, lives in sunny California, and was married to BRAD PITT. Also has a lot of friends and loyal fans. I guess it is good to be Jennifer Aniston.

Which ones? I think they are E Channel undercover agents. That channel is out to get Angie. Start with those Jay Alexander and the other Jay twats. Can you say haters?

the Olsen twins are 20 years old.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here is your REVISED post:

She is rich, lives in sunny California and will ride the fact that she married BRAD PITT from here to eternity. Also, she has Courtney Cox as her friend and Jenny Craig Midwestern housewife fans. I guess it’s boring and pathetic to be Jennifer Aniston.

PS: no charge for the revision. on me :)

Team Lara Croft Says…

I STILL say it must be good to be Jennifer Aniston.

Were you ever married to William Bradley Pitt?

I also want to add that Plan B is successful. But Aniston is a partner IN NAME only.

Plan B was also created to get movie roles for Aniston. Many actors/actress form a production company so that they can buy movie rights and star in the movie for themselves.

But the success of Plan B was NEVER due to Aniston. The SUCCESS of any business ventures is due to the management, the direction of the CEO etc.

If you remember Aniston in one of her interview, she said she always called her girlfriends even for the TINIEST thing. Jen always needs the whole support system around her. Now think, is she CEO material???? can she manage a company??

Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that Jen got the bulk of her wealth from Plan B, that by being married to a man who has the foresight of creating and managing successfully of a company.

so to Jennifer Aniston, I have this to say to you
1) You can live very well with this money. But do give back
2) stop this pity party
3) stop milking your divorce for public sympathy.
4) stop lying to the public
5) get rid of that “happy” if you havent done so( if what Ted C said is correct)

If Angie is not in this list, this is certainly because SHE GIVES 1/3 of her incomes to CHARITY!!
Love you Angie!!

86: Medi, the Olsen twins started making videos as soon as they quit Full House. They formed their own company with the money they made from the television series. Then they branched out in designing and selling clothes, accessories, records, more videos, toys, etc… They are a brand name name in themselves.

Their parents invested wisely and made them into a multi-million industry. Then the twins were able to control their company when they reached 21. Their company is still churning out money. Once, they were thought to be worth almost a billion.

This is for messages proposing donating in private and benefits associated therein.

On the “Methodology of the Forbes:

Net worth means if all of us were ranked from poorest to the richest, where we would stand. Considering the fact that “1 in 5 American households has zero net worth or actually owes more than it owns… and 1 in 3 minority households has zero net worth or is in debt (compared with the average of 1 in 5). Black families have, on average, only one-sixteenth the net assets of white families. For every dollar of net worth of a household headed by a man, households headed by a woman have less than 40 cents” (CSM, 2005 ), . According to the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF)in 2004, the median household pre-tax “income” was $43,200 i.e., half of the Americans made more than this amount, half less. For “net worth” 95th percentile is $924,100, ie 5% of Americans are worth more than this amount. This is where wealth inequality in this society is.

Given where the averages and the distribution stand, I will leave it to your discretion to decide whether or not JA’s charity (information open to public access) propagated by some messages here, in proportion to her net worth is indeed worth applauding.

Nothing against JA in particular, I have not searched other names, as they were not in discussion. My only point is to highlight the wedge between personal wealth and public responsibility.

All the best,
~curly

Thanks for the info curly.

bc -

1) it’s good to be jennifer aniston. Please tell your idol to GIVE BACK.

2) sure, she has friends, but at the end of lunch or dinner, will those friends go home with her? or does she go to her friend’s house? Dont tell me they share husband?

3) oh yeah, do the friends meet with her everyday???

4) I’d rather go home to see my kids face all light up than going home to 2 dogs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

An actual vest? Well, I say a NOBEL price is in order.

This is hilarious. You people need a life!!! Are any of you on the celeb list? Then you don’t have an f’in clue. I love how these posts turn into a “drag” Jennifer Aniston down because Angelina and Brad have dominated the media. Obviously there is a ploy there…………..it is called guilt. Hoe bag Angelina admitted she took Brad’s “best friend”, and I believe her name was “Jennifer Aniston”. Jennifer has not been the one running her mouth to the media about ****. You don’t have a clue what goes on behind close doors of the celebs, but try to pay attention to truth.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Pardon me while I deconstruct the contradiction:

“You don’t have a clue what goes on behind closed doors…..but pay attention to the truth”.

Is this truth not hidden behind closed doors too? Or is it their actions that are behind closed doors but the truth given what we decide it to be is not behind closed doors?

I am confused.

If all of it is behind closed doors then how did you extract a “truth”? hmm…..

Perhaps the greatest donation JA did was Brad’s clothes to charity.
She got rid of his clothes so fast but could’nt stop riding his coattails.
And thought this chick is brainless………

My God, you guys are crazy! 90% of the posts here are off topic! You could probably turn gossip about Hugh Heffner into an Angelina vs. Jennifer thread. :-o

Geez. Some of you guys seriously need to grow up.

Whatever. Good job to these women for making mega millions.
Much power to all of you. I’m just so proud these women. ^^

okay…typo. but I meant to say “I’m so proud of these women.”

With so much money you would think Aniston would have a better plastic Surgeon. I don’t know who talked her into getting that recent Chin implant. It was big enough before.

the real tita @ 01/18/2007 at 1:38 pm

You know, Aniston can have all the money in the world, but she’ll still be a miserable, grasping and unfulfilled person. She’s needy, whiny and harbors grudges too much. She’s never been satisfied with anything she’s ever gotten.

She’ll end up as one of those rich grumpy old biddies that has only dogs and servants for company as they watch reruns of Friends in that old mansion by the sea.
