Jennifer Aniston Leaves Sunset at Sunrise

.She donates privately. She doesn’t have to go to Africa in order to do that or be a spokesperson for the UN. She does the normal stuff that everyone does. She goes out dining with friends, she walks her dog, she likes sunbathing, she goes out with boyfriend, she works, she does not try too hard!… I’m sure you’ll find that all really boring compared to your wonder-woman-type idol, who is apparently perfect, has 6 kids with partner of 3 years, shots guns, visits refugees and flies planes.

Sorry it took so long to respond to you but sleep was calling. Anyway… please, Laura, you are far too intelligent to believe that “donating privately” nonsense. Throwing a check at a cause once in a while isn’t the same thing as getting involved in a cause. I think she’s just too self-centered to be bothered.

You do have to admit, though, that “your wonder-woman-type idol, who is apparently perfect, has 6 kids with partner of 3 years, shots guns, visits refugees and flies planes” is a lot more interesting and inspiring than someone whose sole activities in life include dining out with friends, sunbathing and walking the dog.

TTYL. Have a good day.

Those last nasty comments were really uncalled for…

Edumacated,

I wonder why after reading all these classics (apparently you have taste) you wasted your time -and money- on a book written by Aniston’s mother… bookworms tend to read everything but a line must be drawn at some point… and that is not sarcasm…
I believe there is no reason to call Laura2 names… you may disagree with her opinion, but she is trying to have a civil discussion, she is eloquent and has not insulted anyone.

Just my two cents!

I suppose that if you were a famous actress you would want *some* control over what information is passed on to the media about your private life. They do tend to destort things, so a relative causing damage is no small thing. There is a thing called privacy, and a mother of all people should respect that. Bringing her to the world doesn’t mean she has a blank check over her life…
And that is a general opinion, because I have no idea who said what, when or why!

Mime @ 07/23/2008 at 8:27 am:
“Back up. Did Laura2 just say that Nancy went on a talk show without Jen’s PERMISSION? Did I actually READ that right? Wtf?!??? How the god-damn hell is Jen to give anyone, especially her own MOTHER “permission”? Nancy doesn’t need Jen’s *permission”. Nancy doesn’t need anyone’s permission, let alone the permission of a child SHE brought into the world. What the fark?!??? Is Jen a Queen, where people need to ask her PERMISSION before going palces or appearing on shows? I simply cannot believe this crap!”

Mime, if someone went to a tv show to discuss your life, wouldn’t you like that they ask for your permission? Even if it is your mom, dad, the Pope, whatever… i don’t expect you to get it at all, since you have so much hate in you, as many in here…

laura2,

No, my mother would not have to get my permission to tell people about my childhood, the things I did and said why living with her as her daughter because she does not make up lies. Only if I try to project to the outside world an image that is different from my real self, something I’d be embarrassed of, would I feel offended. Even so, I have to authority over my mother.

The Pope should get my permission yes, but my parents? No.

Jill, if i were to agree with you on that i would be Jolie’s fan , not Aniston’s.
Anyway, i liked our talk. It’s kind of pointless cause neither of our oppinions will change. But It was civilized, a thing that some people in here just don’t know how to do it.

“I personally don’t think it’s odd that people have different ideals of beauty, talent, et al. If we don’t, life would be utterly boring.”

I agree you you completely. This was exactly my point, i tought i made it clear. So you agree with me that is odd when people state for a fact that JA is less beautiful and talended than Jolie.

“No, my mother would not have to get my permission to tell people about my childhood, the things I did and said why living with her as her daughter because she does not make up lies. Only if I try to project to the outside world an image that is different from my real self, something I’d be embarrassed of, would I feel offended. Even so, I have to authority over my mother.”

When your mother tell people about your childhood, she doesn’t do it in a tabloid-ish tv show. And i don’t think it was about whatever she said, really, But her mother’s attitude. You just don’t do that. It just wasn’t cool. Point.

voe @ 07/23/2008 at 10:35 am #155 being a famous actress or famous anything does not give you the right or power to control other people’s mouths, least of all parents’.

Where I come from general opinions are 1) you take care of your parents; 2) you respect the fact that they gave you life for were not for that you wouldn’t not be here. There are many more which I think have been set by the loudest majority based on the same reasoning and method your stated general opinion was set.
________________

I was only replying to the opinion stated… not about how children should treat their parents… I have no knowledge of Aniston’s relationship with her mother, and frankly I couldn’t care less.

…and to everyone saying how absurd it was that i said “she donates privately”…
Well, me saying that is just as reliable as you saying she donates nothing at all.

laura2,

You need to reread the post in which you mentioned odd. I interpreted your statement as you telling all those who find Jolie hot, sexy, beautiful, etc odd because your idea of beautiful body (you stated) is such and such.

If you meant to have your point concurred with mine, it didn’t shine through that way to me.

Frankly, who thinks whom is beautiful, sexy, hot, doesn’t matter to me. I don’t look at other people and think of sex so hotness, sexiness and like thoughts so no one but my husband is hot and sexy. IMO beauty and beauty related ideals and creative works are purely subjective. To try to reject others’ ideals on these matters is silly.

As for talking about children on tabloid shows, my opinion is that it does not differ from talking about them with the neighbors. The only different is that JA is famous so the mother got paid to talk.

My stance is unchanged. As long as Nancy did not make up any thing about JA, past and present, she does not need JA’s permission. She has every right as Aniston had to insinuate or speak of her feeling about things & people who had been in her life. She, like Aniston, was an adult at the time so should be fully aware of the consequent unfavorable reaction her subject had and how it would negatively affect her. Nancy now lives with the consequence if she’s sick and destitute. Aniston, if she is thinking like you therefore refuse to help her mother, would be deemed heartless by some and this public reaction is perhaps the consequence of her telling the world her disdain for her mother.

Ah, it goes to show no one can be universally liked.

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).

I think the dog is the smart one out of a whole bunch of people. It’s sad to think that JA fans think the only people that hate Jen are BP/AJ fans. I think that is certainly not the truth. There are countless people that hate Jen and not fans of her ex. I even understand that Jessica Simpson people don’t like Jen for obvious reasons. For sure John Mayer fans don’t like Jen Some how the only one JA fans care about are BP/JA fans. A clear sign of not moving on.
