Jennifer Aniston Leaves Sunset at Sunrise

@mime @ 07/24/2008 at 12:29 pm @ comment 173: The one thing the infamous VF interview made clear to me was Angelina Jolie had NOTHING to do with Pitt and Aniston’s breakup. Aniston or maybe one of her surrogates (I don’t remember) stated Pitt did not show up for the last taping of Friends. This I believe happened in January 2004. Pitt and Jolie had just started working on MAMS, so you can’t blame Angelina for his no show. I think this marriage was on its last legs and neither side was even trying to put up a united front at this point. This, more than anything in the interview, proved to me Jolie was in the clear. Did Aniston ever visit Pitt on the set of MAMS? I believe the entire shoot took place in LA with the exception of one week in Italy ( and that didn’t happen until Oct/Nov 2004).

Response:
Aniston did visit Pitt on the set of MAMS and she met Jolie once. As for the time MAMS was being filmed I have the following website on the beginning of filming for this movie.

Please do not rewrite history. Aniston met Jolie at the Warner Brother slot one day NOT at the MMS set. She did not set foot on that set at all.

voe @ 07/24/2008 at 11:31 am Agree with you about perspective.

Aniston’s career hasn’t been hurt by Nancy’s telling the world about the young Aniston though. Sex scandal and beauty perception do not have same effect.

Speaking of perspective, most actresses, because of their wealth and fame, tend to live in a neighborhood far different from our own. In such neighborhood, hardly anything can stir up scandalous dust. But in ordinary neighborhood, things are different.
________

It is that exact neighborhood that is eagerly awaiting to believe every cra@p that is published for any celebrity… That’s why I think an interviews like A’s mother’s are a bad choice… I mean look, so many years later people are still discussing about it. But yes, I can’t say that this has really harmed JA’s career.
Anyway, if they had issues they should had solved them privately.

I stick to my opinion that being a parent doesn’t give you a blank check and you DO need permission. Goes without saying that a child should equally respect parents.

congratulations jennifer on being one of the top earners you deserve it love you

Voe,

We don’t disagree in many points the way I see it…
I don’t know what kind of impact some cr@p tabloid story can have on a celebrity’s career, because frankly I have not given it much thought. You are probably right and quality of work has A LOT more to do with it.

But one thing I know for sure. It’s not JUST about the triangle. I mean on different boards, about different actors, tabloid stories are repeated endlessly by fans or what I’ve come to know as haters. I can tell you about a story being repeated ad nauseam about “The Incredible Edward” even though it is officially confirmed as b*ll*cks…
Have you seen “Notting Hill”? When Grant tells Roberts that today’s newspapers will be lining garbage cans tomorrow and she replies “everytime they are going to write a story about me they are going to dig up these photos”… there is a point there and MAYBE that is harm enough…

We just disagree about the permission thing… oh, and even tho I don’t have children of my own (closest thing to it a pet that I was bottle feeding and have for 16 years now) I DO believe that a mother’s love for a child is indeed unconditional, every other kind of love has to be earned but not this one.

As for who’s to blame? Both really, seems the right answer.

OH AND EDUMACATED, I SALUTE YOU. INTERESTING POINTS AND REBUTTAL.

AJ DOES NOT FLAUNT HER CHARITY WORKS. SHE HAPPENS TO BE FAMOUS THAT’S WHY SHE IS BEING FOLLOWED EVERYWHERE SHE GOES. SO IT FOLLOWS THAT EVEN THE TEENY-WEENY TASK SHE DOES ARE REPORTED.

I WONDER, JA IS ALSO FAMOUS, BUT I ONLY READ A FEW REPORTS ABOUT HER CHARITY WORKS.

jen making more money than angie is where the big difference is between the two. Angie made less money because she took care of her family and did her UN work and in spite of getting less money she was generous to give a part of her money to the less fortunate. Jen who made more money than angie spent all of her money only on herself. This is the reason why angie is admired by a lot of people from all over the world. She sacrificed her career for family and even shared whatever she made to the less fortunate.

Jolie, Pitt and progeny, under the press’ watchful eye.

“Have you no sense of decency, sir,” the U.S. Army attorney asked Senator Joe McCarthy, as the red-baiter tried to push his witch-hunt on. “At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”

It’s a question the press must now ask itself.

In America, Us Weekly has just reported on the recent birth of twins to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and speculated on whether or not their beginning was in vitro. And many American papers dutifully picked up the story.

In Israel, Barack Obama — who, like all American politicians, is now prey to celebrity reporting as well — has had the prayer he wrote and stuffed into the Western Wall retrieved by a yeshiva student, published in an Israeli newspaper and circulated via blog.

And I think: Has it really come to this?

What’s next? Shall we now aim surveillance microphones at confessionals? Go through the garbage outside celebrity ob-gyns?

True, there is no love lost between Brad Pitt and Us Weekly. (I was at a “Troy” junket where, before sitting down for a press conference, the actor first made sure that the gossip magazine’s correspondent was ejected.) And Obama has many critics within American Jewish and Israeli circles.

But is this what the press is now reduced to?

Writing stories about what did — or didn’t — take place during the conception of a couple’s children? Stealing a man’s private prayer — and please don’t waste my time with legalistic definitions of “abandoned property” — in order to display it?

Could any ethicist come up with a clearer definition of “invasion of privacy” than this?

I won’t repeat the Us story — or link to images of Obama’s note — here. That would only legitimize the reporting.

But as a journalist — as someone who has spent more than a quarter of a century trying to ask people what I thought I needed to ask, but only what I thought people needed to know — I have to look at these other writers, and ask them what Joseph Welch asked more than 50 years ago.

Have you no sense of decency? In the end, have you left no sense of decency at all?
