Jennifer Aniston: Marley & Me
Jennifer Aniston has fetched herself a new role in Marley & Me, an adaptation of John Grogan’s bestselling memoir about an incorrigible Labrador retriever.
David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) will direct, Owen Wilson will co-star and production will commence in 2008.
According to Variety, “Marley is the yellow lab adopted by Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife. Their idea was to give them a taste of parenthood, but the dog proved to be a hyperactive handful. He wreaks havoc, gets kicked out of obedience school and gets even worse when the children begin to arrive, yet becomes an indispensable part of the family.”
Aniston, 38, also scored herself a small role in He’s Just Not That Into You, an ensemble comedy based on the best-selling book that is a social commentary about modern-day relationships and how men and women often misconstrue the intentions of the opposite sex.
Ken Kwapis (License to Wed) will direct, production will star early September in L.A. and Drew Barrymore is producing via her Flower Films production company.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Aniston will play a woman in a long-term relationship with a boyfriend who will not commit to marriage.”
The film also stars Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Ginnifer Goodwin and Barrymore.

I like jen !! and owen!!! they’ll make magic together :)
Please don’t wish for Jen to be with GeorgeC. He is a major player, likes young showgirl types, still known to pick up dates in a bar, and likes to be dating multiple women at a time. He’s now 46 and loves his life. Maybe he will change and settle down like WarrenB in his 50’s or maybe he will be like JackN and stay the same. He is a nice guy but only on his terms. He’s a hearbreaker.
I will definitely see this movie. Two great actors!!! With the right script, it should be a good film.
talking about karma…aniston is the one in karma since she is the one getting dumped all the time….aniston must have a bad past life ..her karma now is getting dumped..and why would brad even go back to this ugly horse… if ever he and angie breaks up, he can get a much better looking women than ugly aniston, all these gorgeous looking women in hollywood just waiting for brad and brad will go back to this ugly hag…give me a break….gee aniston just got lucky one time…i dont think she will be lucky again…even vince dumped her…karma is with aniston …she is the one getting dumped even by the likes of vince…lol…
angie is getting all the good karma…she got brad and beautiful kids..what more can she want…aniston…bad karma..getting dumped al the time…aniston is bad karma…and bad karma will follow her for the rest of her ugly life
aniston should take the dog part..she will definitely portray that part very well…
Jennifer Aniston- The Eternal Victim like [~Famous~]
Aug 17th, 2007 by maary
I must confess, I never paid any attention to her before her split from Brad Pitt, and then the Vanity Fair interview happened. After reading the interview, I thought, what a cold, conniving, manipulative woman. I would have had more respect for her as a woman if she had come out and said “Brad cheated on me”, but NO, in that passive aggressive behavior of hers, she tells us she will always love Brad but unleashes her friends to do the attack, and allowed the interviewer to bash Brad’s new woman and her young children. If there was ever any chance of me feeling any pity for her, that dissipated right there.
The Vanity Fair interview gave birth to the pity party and the never ending triangle that has become a cottage industry for the tabloids. “Poor Jen”, dumped by “the cad” for the “homewrecker” Jolie, every woman that has ever been dumped now had a figure to unleash their hurt feelings. Brad Pitt became that guy that dumped them or cheated on them, even though Brad has never had any reputation of ever having cheated on a partner, and his ex-girlfriends have always said he was the perfect gentleman.
Whenever I read articles saying how Jennifer handled her divorce with class, I am amused to no end. Is making a career out of your divorce classy? Nicole Kidman handled her divorce with class, even publicly wished her ex-husband well at the birth of his daughter, but Jennifer was too bitter to show that kind of class, because she doesn’t have it.
The media has to a large extent become enablers for this girl-woman. They never hold her accountable for her behaviors, they seem to be beholden to her Publicist and of course, it sells to continue feeding the public the girl next door image, though I don’t know how many people could afford a $1om dollars home let alone live next door to her. I am still laughing at how the same media was played by the “American sweetheart” constantly telling them that a baby is on the way even as she signs up for seven movies while her marriage disintegrates around her. This is a woman who chose movie stardom over a family life, nothing wrong with the choice, but be clear about your choices and own your life’s decision instead of blaming it on someone else.
I am tired of the media treating this woman with kid gloves and glossing over her mistakes. She is never responsible for any of her actions, not in her personal or professional life and yet I am supposed to feel sorry for her because she lied to her husband about having a family that she never wanted, and when he wised up to her deceit, he high tailed it out of there. This is a woman with a manufactured public personae and that is why she looks scared to death in most of her pictures. She looks like a woman who is afraid her real life will catch up with her and she will be exposed for the fraud that she is. That must be the biggest price she has to pay for fame, knowing she has to live a lie. Some public people would rather be hated for who they are than to be loved for who they are not, and those people have my utmost respect because they live honestly.
Jennifer worked so hard to get my pity even as she exploited her breakup for career advancement. I adore strong women who live their lives boldly and honestly and make no apologies for their choices. The poor Jen shtick has worn thin. She is still working that pity party the way that only she can, I am almost certain that she doesn’t miss her marriage, but misses the opportunities that being Mrs Pitt accorded her, and she will continue ride his coattail for as long as it serves her well.
There is something ironic about the media appointed “American Sweetheart”, they always end up imploding. Who can forget how the media treated Christina Aguilera very harshly while selling Britney as the wholesome virgin, time has a way of exposing the truth, between Christina and Britney, who is looking wholesome right now? So I do have faith that after all the PR orchestrated new relationships, Jennifer might still redeem herself by owning up to her life and telling the truth, and then maybe she could stop looking like a woman who is afraid of her skeleton filled closet being exposed to the world, Christina is certainly having the last laugh over the media crafted image of Britney, the real Britney emerged, just that it took a bit long. The real Jennifer will be exposed, it just might take a bit too long.
I loved the book Marly and Me. Am depressed that JA will star in it. She isn’t right for it at all. Can’t say I see Owen Wilson in it either. Oh well, another great book ruined by Hollywood. Nothing new there. I don’t (and won’t) have to see it.
Thank you JessO #200
for that link to the GG when Aniston famously forgot to mention Brad in her acceptance speech.
I think I speak for a lot of fans when I say that we wait for that moment when a ’star’ wins an award to hear them say something loving and romantic about their honey—its the highlight of these award shows!!!!
To see this clip again after all this time KNOCKED MY SOCKS OFF BECAUSE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THESE 2 IS PALPABLE. They are cool with each other. They seem uncomfortable and out of sync.
Brad is smiling but it looks perfunctory.
I’ll admit it: I never liked them together and am crazy about Brad and Angie finding love with each other. But I wouldn’t be writing this if it
wasn’t so blatantly obvious that Brad and Jen’s problems started before Angie was on the scene. Its been captured on tape for all to witness regardless of my bias.
I have always believed that you cannot break up a happy marriage—not even the beautiful Angelina can.
That relationship had grown cold.
Wow, JessO—that was some link. Kudos!

I think she’ll wait for Brad ’till the end.
*************************************************
Till the end of what? The end of time? Brad isn’t going back to her. Not now, not ever.
I can just see her tombstone: HERE LIES THE EX MRS BRAD PITT.
She’s like a vampire, sucking the life out of everybody. She’s never going to let go.

Do they all know YOU??
THANK YOU 207-Famous!!!
My sentiments exactly, never bought the girl next door picture the press always paints her with.Melissa E.the gay singer i forget her last name?Said in an interview a while back that Brad was a sweetheart & he was getting a bad rap,she knew the truth & she wished him well.
I hate this woman!!!!
I really question the sanity of some of you after reading this ridiculous thread. I cannot fathom how it is even possible to hate someone so much for, really, no reason at all. The only connection this woman still has to your precious BP (gag) is YOU. The rest is all projection. Grow up.
This woman is so blah in every sense of the world ! Znd as the ones always playing the rich card as if it erase all her avergaeness in any field :
- PHYSICAL BEAUTY en the most wordly perceived wise…not to mention Hollywood wise (that’s not her fault though to be born ugly in the city where TALL gorgeous chick from all over the world flock,
- INTELLIGENCE, INTELLECT and ARTICULATE

To fan Says:
a little insecure?
I think more than a little insecure because she has to overdramatic everything that happen her as though - IT IS THE WORSE THING EVER TO HAPPEN TO MANKIND. Many of us go through the same thing she did and we do not go overdramatic and hold a worldwide pity party.
- the tears
- the poor me - LOVESSSSSSSSS BEING A VICTIM. Man, if there ever was a woman who embraces *victimhood* as an image - Jen is one of those. Case in point - your description of her holdnig a purse so closely because she is nervous. Come on Jen…act like a grown up ass woman pushing 40 and not a tween. IMO, there is nothing whatsoever attractive of a weak woman. NONE! But hey, that’s Jenès favourite role!!!!
- the feel sorry for me because divorce is hard. Of course divorce is hard but so have millions of men and women come out if eventually come out of it without letting EVERYONE in the world know their business.
It is really sad to see a 38 going 39 and 40 yrs old acting this way. Actually, it is proof that something AINT right with Jen if by this age, she still is like this.
…a drop out highschool who has the advantage of a direct european heritage and then, could work at better herself in that field, learn and upgrade so that it matches your age when you speak.
- TALENT WISE : there is not an age to go back to school to venture some of your inner strenghts. Go on a drastic change (like Charlize did), cut your hair, change your physical appearances, take some extra acting classes and get ready to fight or invest your own resources to the role of a lifetime, in a role where nobody expect you and where you will put your gut, sweat, DETERMINATION, risk taking of maybe failing and SHATTERING your good girl image to venture other fields and grow artistically and humanely…it always brings out some part of you you would never be possible till day. At 40, she is at the crossroads and needs to realise it. Cut your hair short, dye them in Black, show that you are secure enough, independant enough to put EVERYING in a good movie that will stun most viewers and wonder who the real JA is, and what she is capable of. your interesting ratio will rise drastically.
Y
ou can have all the money in the world : the sultan of Brunei is richerv than cresus, Charles of England is rich, it doesn’t make them interesting enough if you have nothing charming to propose to be loved, just to attract shallow and interested people.
If you are clingy, insecure and needs to be uplifted all the time by your direct entoiurage to feel great, then you won’t attract a man for long. Happiness comes from within, when you are totally serene with yourself, without friends or family have the MAIN role to do with it !
Hope this isn’t as huge of a flop as A MIGHTY HEART was…

I THINK YOU SHOULD CALL HER, AND ADVISE HER ON THAT.
My gosh this is what I called insanity!!!!!
I totally agree. Jennifer Aniston knows exactly what she wants. She wants fame, money, and a movie career. Yes, she did talk about wanting a baby. But having a baby is NEVER her 1st priority. I remember seeing her talking about (in similar words) “the next thing is Oscar” on the stage in one of her award ceremony. One of the major reasons for the failure of the marriage is the delay of starting a family. Brad has talked about wanting a family , not once, but many many times.
I also believe that the last 6 months of 2003 is their trial separation (although they did not announce it officially). We all know Jen was taping Friends while simultaneouly making the movie “Along came Polly” . To me, this is a really hectic schedule. As to Brad, that same year he spent 6 months outside of the country filming Troy. It looked like they purposely planned to stay away from each other.
Now, Jennifer has achieved what she wanted, (though not all). She got fame and money. As for her movie, time will tell. I personally dont think she will achieve the way she wants it to be. To me, in silver screen, you need to have a commanding presence. Jennifer Aniston just doesnt have that. I personally prefer seeing movies with Kate Hudson, Reese, Cameron Diaz, and Julia Roberts.
All her media appearances (Diane Sawyer, Oprah, Access Hollywood) of saying “a baby is on the way” is just a way to save her image. The fact that she was still smoking indicates she has NO intention of opening her womb. This is what baffles me. Why Not Tell The Truth or dont even bring up the subject? Even when the subject is brought up, she can just deflect it. She did it successfully on her relationship with Vince. But by repeatedly going to the media and lied about it make me question her character. . Her appearance at Oprah and saying that she and Vince were still on is another calculated move to sell movie tickets.
A couple months ago, the us mag had an article which examined why Jen couldnt find a man. To me, she can never have a man unless she is sincere and honest.
1) She has to learn that she should not FAKE a relationship to sell movie tickets. No man wants to be used.
2) She has to own responsibility. Just laying blame or using her friends to do her dirty work, (smearing Brad and Angie in VF interview) is UNCONSCIONABLE. She should take accountability that her lust for fame and her lust for a movie career helped contribute to the downfall of her marriage.
3) She should really move on and should NOT be vengeful. The whole hollywood knows that Aniston has the habit of going to people, Oprah to deny a boob job, a nose job, not dating a camera man, etc. If so, a real man who dates her will ask why she’s not doing anything to refute the rumor of Brad visit with Shiloh. Not doing so speaks volumes of her character. And NO real man wants a vindictive woman.
4) She should be honest. If she does not want to have children. She should disclose this upfront. She should NOT mislead a man if a man wants children. She should learn from her mistakes that she should not lie about a baby when she had NO INTENTION of doing so
Until she improves herself, she will remain SINGLE.
I do hope in times, she learn from her mistakes, and wish her well.
Apache, seriously, WOW. You put way too much time and thought into something you and everyone else on this site can in no way be sure about.
