Jennifer Aniston is a Rare Jewel

http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2008/08/the_trouble_with_jennifer_anis.html

I just love this article!! It deserves to be on every page!!

When Jennifer Aniston’s fling with noted lady-killer John Mayer ended this weekend, we were bummed — not because we’d booked seats on the Mayerston bandwagon, but because it’s exactly what we expected. Consider the math: two Jolie-Pitt pregnancies, and two allegedly serious and tabloid-friendly Aniston relationships that lasted just long enough to ride out the fervor over her ex-husband’s glorious new spawn. If you stop and smell the PR, it reeks. Jennifer is a bona fide star, yet her team seems fixated on proving she attracts beefy boyfriends, instead of projecting the image of a self-confident woman who attracts beefy roles. And frankly, we find that strategy questionable.
Granted, Aniston’s in a tough spot. Since her marriage to Pitt imploded, she’s been the tabloids’ favorite lovelorn punching bag, forever yoked to the glittering Brangelina and unfairly — not to mention archaically — doomed to be branded a dried-up crone until she spawns and/or gets hitched. So the suspiciously convenient timing of Jennifer’s long-term relationships could be seen as self-preservation. For every “Brangelina’s Baby Joy” headline, we’re spared a matching sidebar that cruelly screams, “ALONE IN MALIBU,” or “WHY JEN CRIES.” We’d want to avoid that, too.

But how does a string of toxic-bachelor boyfriends help? We’re not saying the girl shouldn’t go out and get some, just that maybe she should consider dating someone who isn’t more trouble than he’s worth in column inches. Pairing up with boozy flirt Vince Vaughn yielded a DUI for him and yet another round of “Poor Unlucky Jen” for her, once photos and rumors of his cheating emerged. Horndog John Mayer could get “squire for hire” printed on his business card, thanks to his history of lending himself to stars in need of a little tabloid TLC — like his ex Jessica Simpson (the twentysomething version of the tragic spinster Us Weekly wants Aniston to be) and that fling with a post-Timberlake, mad-with-jealousy Cameron Diaz. At this rate, if Angelina gets knocked up a third time, we’ll be awash in headlines trumpeting Jen’s six-month yachting vacation with George Clooney or hot-and-heavy courtship with Tommy Lee.

Ergo, this weekend’s breakup not only didn’t surprise us but made us sad for her. Aniston used to be America’s most-loved comic actress. Now, thanks to her counteracting all that Brangelina PR with obviously labored stories — full of suggestive pictures and coy denials — about her own love life, we’re barely able to name a single thing she’s has done lately that doesn’t involve hanging around with a bunch of notorious man-children. Or, worse, signing up to star in forgettable rom-coms with titles that hit a bit too close to home. The Break-Up was bad enough, but He’s Just Not That Into You? Honey, no. There’s self-awareness, and then there’s masochism.

In fact, until we recently caught a late-night rerun of Friends, we totally forgot Aniston is actually quite charming and talented. If she really wants to prove she’s risen from the ashes of her marriage — and who can blame her? — she ought to take a page from Nicole Kidman’s book and let a kick-ass career be the best revenge. After all, she can’t beat the Jolie-Pitts at their own PR game, but a memorable guest stint (How I Met Your Mother, anyone?), a self-effacing cameo, or even a regular TV gig would do the talking better than the tabloids ever could. Remind us why we took a shine to you in the first place, Jen.

Bet: Please tell me what we are to admire in your idol? Straight question. All JP fans are typically fans because there is so much more to them than just the superficial HW crap. They are both naturally beautiful but don’t seem to use it as their ‘raison d’etre’. They actually want to make this world a better place by ’sharing’ their fortunes and their souls to those with nothing, not even hope. They go from one remote area to the other in the hope that they can draw attention to the needs of those in need. So their beauty and fame stands for something other than their personal wealth and egos. These people are multi-faceted, not just one dimensional like your idol. And what I consider to be really significant is they are so much more gifted than your idol in her ‘one dimension’……then they branch off from there and and parent six kids, do their charity work and contributions and raise awareness of substantive global issues. And yes they take risks and get their hands dirty. Your idol got staged press for giving away three purses that she was likely ‘given’ in the first place. Brad was starving for this level of substance, cute can only sustain a relationship for so long. So in order to admire someone like Aniston who is hollow, needy and manipulative, you would have to be just as vacuous as she in order to admire her.

for entertain me by doing her job , for being strong single woman. For not using poor people to elevate her career. and simply for being a woman. and i like her and admire her for just doing her job, that why she is there the first place . for being strong enough to handle all this bull. Other thing is her personal life .

yet again those two man and woman . I am sure it will take second to bring the two in this thread.

. since you bring them here as usual , they go from state followinng thier career, please do not lie to cover for them. what kind of thing attention those needs, by going to france , living in 70 million chatue , being on the cover of the news paper , by eliminating the most important news in the city. can i call it attention for themself. why i am going to admire for someone have a buctch of kids. i have family and relative who have kids and also me, so why should i care becuase two rich and attention H people having kids.

and also, i am not going to be on thier thread 24/7,spreading hate and jealousy about them. May be if they open thier mouth and is see some hiporcy i will comment about it. but you guys are here 24/7 spreading jealousy about the woman. that is the big difference between me and you.

And i do go to their theard ask thier fans why you like them. I do not understand why you waste all your time on her fans to no like her.

ha ha ha @ 08/24/2008 at 6:41 am Radar Online, in an open letter to Ms. Aniston:
Dear Jennifer Aniston,

We hesitate to harsh on you, because we imagine that getting dumped for the most gorgeous, fertile, and philanthropic woman on earth must be devastating, but it’s time to pull yourself together. Stop making mediocre movies (Rumor Has It? The upcoming Marley & Me, in which you play opposite a naughty, neurotic dog?). Stop dating beneath you (John Mayer? Really?). , moping over her Stonyfield Farm yogurt and smoking pot late at night when she thinks we can’t smell it—except, of course, when she tries to numb the pain by bringing home some cheesy dude for loud, grody sex. Our sympathy is turning into pity, Rachel Jen. You’re better than this.

Love,
Radar

OMG did they say that. OMG that is so accurate. That cr@p is funny.
I had a friend that friend that I let sleep on my couch while he going through a breakup with his old lady and that dude stayed around until I had to ask him to go. Jen’s is going to have to be kicked out of Hollywood.

If she was ’strong’ she’d be living like all the other real beauties in HW, quietly and with their husbands and families. Somehow they don’t see it necessary to their self-love to parade their bodies all over HW and NYC. —–
Aniston is neither ’strong’ or a ‘real beauty’. She NEEDS to sell her 40s body shamelessly, since that’s the only way she might get some attention from casting directors. It’s pathetic at 40 when all you can do is that, instead of trading on her acting skills and merit.

but you people DO think something like this is appropriate for a pregnant woman traveling with a very YOUNG MALE CHILD.

Sloppy, dishevled and in a night gown. OK…come in a defend this. If you think it is not appropriate for a ALMOST but NOT 40 years old to wear a tube top and jeans……comment on this sloppy mess with her chest all hanging out and SHE’s suppose to be a MOTHER.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angie IS a Mother. AJ and Maddox is getting on a flight at 5:30 a.m. in Texas and she isn’t wearing a nightgown, it is a maxi maternity dress she had in several colors and wore at NOLA for the makeitrightnola.org groundbreaking, on Brad’s film set and at Cannes. She also has on a coat. She is PREGNANT and her breasts reflect that. She didn’t wear the outfit on the street in NYC. She changed at the hotel and wore trousers, a sweater, heels and a trench coat. Very modest.

So how did her picture get taken if she wasn’t in PUBLIC. GEESE. LIAR LIAR…she purposely let her boobs hang out..INAPPROPRIATE AT THE AIRPORT OR ON THE STREET. but I KNEW a loon ass would come up with some bullsh!t. Don’t care WHAT she changed into later…she ALLOWED herself to look like this in public and last I checked the AIRPORT is a PUBLIC place. Thanks for proving me right though….you idiots would let this woman stomp puppies for PR and you idiots would defend her right to do so. jennifer looked MUCH more tasteful than this in her tube top…oh and CLASSIER. but whatevs.

Jill

your freind D. kay bring them here in this thread telliing they six kids so i can admire them instead jen.

First all yes i admire jen, but more i amazed more that her by you kind of people that exist in the world waste thier time and energy in hating and become jealous of people they never met. That is why probably reply to every hate comment you put out there.

From Perez:
Poor Jennifer Aniston.

Oh, Jenni Poo!

She just can’t seem to get a good guy that wants to be with her.

And, she’s so desperate to not be alone, she’s even got her “camp” and friends scouting out guys for her, according to reports.

Apparently her people have been looking for someone to set her up with, even before news broke out that she and John Mayer were over.

One industry insider says, “I got a call from someone very, very close to Jen over the weekend, asking if I knew anyone who might want to go out on a date with her.

Adds the leaker, “They weren’t being very discreet about it — the news hadn’t even broken yet that she and John split. You’d think of all people, Jen Aniston wouldn’t need to use people in her camp as a dating service.”

We think she would.

Maniston needs all the help she can get picking up guys these days!

To all Jen fans

“Leprechaun” is on the SciFi channel right now. LOL!!!

jenn you rock.

You have to admire her tenacious defense of the Chin while she butchers the English language grammar and spelling. I’ve never seen such bad spelling on a blog on each and every post she makes.

Ummm, I don’t know if you, whichisworse, are a woman or a mother, but when one is preggers, the boobs have a tendency to be huge, and if you are pregnant, you are always hot and wouldn’t want to cover up at all if you don’t have to. Are you expecting an expecting woman to wear a turtleneck? As it was pointed out, she dressed up for her meeting. But at the airport she was traveling and wanted to be as comfortable as she could. Also, did you not see Salma Hayek and Halle Berry when they were just out and about while preggy? Those were excellent displays of great-looking and HUGE tatas.

Um sweety I don’t know if you’re a **** who goes for attention or don’t have any boobies but UM it isn’t NECESSARY for them to hang out like that in a public place just because you’re pregnant. Um they do make dreses and shirts that will cover them. SHAMEFUL that she was like this with her young son in tow…but anywho Try and get you loons to understand that it like pissing in the wind though. Again, thanks for proving my point though. So tell me again how Jennifer was being out of line for wearing a tube top that CLEARLY covered her breasts. Ah never mind…..like I said you loons are all alike. HIPPO-crits.
