Jennifer Aniston is a Range Rover Lover
Jennifer Aniston gets into her Range Rover and give a good chuckle to photographers as she leaves her office in Los Angeles on Monday.
Can’t tell if she’s still wearing the boyfriend jean’s look!
Despite the break from John Mayer, Jen looks to be in good spirits!
According to a friend, “(Jen) didn’t see herself and John having much in common or having a future together. She wasn’t fazed by the ending of it. She wasn’t hurt at all. She feels fine!”

The Trouble With Jennifer Aniston’s Boyfriend-PR Strategy
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. They didn’t make those “Team Aniston” shirts for nothing.
Aniston really is the best punching bag, because she’ll always bounce back with a fake smile plastered on her face, exclaiming, “I’m Fine! I’m Fine!” which only makes you want to punch her more.
She’s been pulling the same old tricks, over and over and expects us to believe it every time. She’s just building up more and more hatred against her. Like I said– she’s the perfect punching bag, she’s asking for it.
It took a long time for the general public to accept that Aniston is a fraud because so many wanted to believe she really was just like her character on Friends. It’s become too hard to suspend disbelief for all but her most die-hard fans. Those fans deserve someone worthy of their loyalty and good-wishes. Not a manipulative, passive-aggressive, self-absorbed fool like Aniston.
She looks good to me. She is a lovely woman. I doubt that her
friends said anything. It’s made up just like Brad leaving Angelina.
If she waited to date anyone until Brad quits having kids, she’ll
never date again. For some reason people can’t forget she got
a divorce. Why does everyone keep comparing them? I think she
is just as entitled to have a life as anyone else in this world and
I don’t see how her smiling is negative for any reasons.
I guess she was right, it’s her turn…..and she’s finish,
couldn’t have happen to a nicer old ugly hag, way to go Chin
ha ha ha
Who are you laughing at, yourself? I clicked on this post to read what terrible things you people were saying about this woman, and of course, my suspicions were confirmed. You are all sad, sad women who spend too much time talking trash on a woman you don’t actually know. PATHETIC.
u are obssessed with jen.shame on you. you keep on talking bout her. she’s move on, your not!funny
……. @ 08/26/2008 at 1:06 pm
Just like everyone here, I can also say my opinion, and you can call me whatever name you want, you also don’t know me, so I have to say that you also have an opinion about me (calling me a sad woman) just like I have an opinion about Maniston although I don’t know her, my opinion is based on her public image and the fact that she wanted this pity party since 2005 and everyone see that now and nothing else … And still the fact that I call Maniston sad and desperate woman is still not as ugly when you people - Maniston fans - are wishing death to children … So think twice before you say anything …
Put the curtain back on Jen……………………..hahahaha
She’s one of the best looking women in Hollywood. I would date
her in a minute. She has been divorce three years so I don’t think
she has to plan her life around what some dopey ex is doing.
I think it is fine that she smiles and goes on with her life. Why
in the heck shouldn’t she. Most of us do after we break up with
someone. Why should she be any different?
Remember all the awful things that were printed about Paul
when Jen went out with him a couple times. How a rich man
kept him, doing it only to get publicity, had horrible drug problem.
Now all of a sudden that’s that not mentioned. If you think PR
isn’t a bunch of lies then you don’t have a mind. I don’t think Jen
is saying a word, the so called friends are make believe. I
don’t understand why the press and Brad’s fans don’t want
her to have a life too. Do you believe Angelina told Brad to leave?
It’s the same difference, all made up crap.
Another day, another good laugh at Aniston’s expense. She just won’t shut up about this break up with John Mayer! Here is another statement from her “friends” which contradict Aniston’s earlier statements. She can’t even keep track of her lies, just like the whole Vince Vaughn debacle. She’ll never learn from her mistakes. If the rumors are true that she is looking for another magazine tell-all to throw another pity party, then I say more power to her. The backlash will even be more spectacular than the current mockery that is her life.
To the posters that say anyone who comes to these blogs and criticize Aniston needs to get a life, then my question to you is “Why are you here?” We all come here for entertainment and escapism. Yes, we don’t know Aniston personally, but most of the criticism directed towards Aniston are truthful observations based on common sense. No one is really wishing her any harm. We’re just keeping it real. I used to think she was so charming in Friends. Now it’s obvious this woman is manipulative, vindictive and fraudulent, both in her personal relationships and public portrayal. I comment on her because I believe she is so undeserving of the fame and money that she has. There are more talented actresses out there who are more genuine, sincere and deserving.
jennifer go to venice!!!!!
Jennifer Anston Brad first love …. shame angie
CHARLIE @ 08/26/2008 at 3:52 pm
Yeah, first love blah blah, that is way he dumped her and now has 6 children with Angie … shame on Maniston, she is probably crying with her dogs now …
Love to see such a big, bright smile on Jen’s face; she looks so happy, confidant, and busy with her career and charitable works. As to her former relationship with John Whatshisname , dating can be fun, but doesn’t have to be serious or we’d all be married forever to the first person we dated. I firmly believe in remaining a dating single who is contented and happy with life, than to be a non-dating, married to the wrong person who is miserable with their life. Fortunately Jen seems to have a good head on her shoulders. She’s doing just fine.
somebody mentioned tht good girl movie of jennifer can somebody upload it here. i seen only a bit of it , she seem like she can act. she shld make film like this, if she wants to be taken as versatile or serious actress. i know she’s very good in neurotic comedy.did this movie made a lot of money?
The New Old Move
This is Jennifer Aniston – seen yesterday out and about in Beverly Hills, photographers reporting that her mood seem to vacillate from near tears to happy smiles in a matter of seconds.
Indeed, it’s been a rough couple of weeks for everyone’s favourite Friend. It’s the public humiliation from the aftermath of the John Mayer saga, it’s the fact that yet another one of her publicity strategies has backfired, it’s that her media team is now scrambling, unable to decide on the next move, a move made even more difficult considering the most recent moves have been scrutinised and analysed and said to be lacking.
Click here to read NY Magazine’s brilliant article written by the brilliant Fug Girls from last week, essentially calling out Jennifer Aniston once and for all for her relentless and desperate attempt to appear desirable, still young, and talented at the same time.

FAIL.
There are however certain upsides to defeat. Changing a winning formula for a winner is a much riskier proposition. Changing a losing formula for the vanquished makes total sense.
Now is the time for Jen to reinvent. To stop allowing the MiniVan Majority to dictate her every move.
My sources tell me that this was suggested to Jennifer late last week at a meeting she took with her handlers – to show perhaps a different side of herself, one with more attitude, with an edge, to be a ***** once in a while, to stop trying to be perfect and pitiful, to take a project with some controversy, to woo Judd Apatow for some Katherine Heigl magic.
Word is she totally balked. Word is she still can’t go there.
So, instead, they apparently decided to look for another glossy tell-all. Another interview during which she’s encouraged to weep and then shake her fist in determination, another interview at the end of which her army of “you go girl” girls will follow her into the ocean and stand there until they change their own tides.
Same old, same old.
Sigh.
She needs John Stamos. John Stamos where are you?
Nobody does it better…
Brad Pitt arrived in Venice today – Burn After Reading is opening the festival tomorrow and Brad and George will also be attending a Darfur fundraiser tonight.
As you can see, Brad brought his first 2 boys Maddox and Pax along for the trip, perhaps to lessen the load on mommy Angelina. That’s the practical, personal rationale for having his sons with him. But where the Pitts are concerned, there’s also always strategy.
We were discussing this today during TIFF preparation – you’ve heard about a potential showdown between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston next week in Toronto, haven’t you?
While Brad and George Clooney are confirmed for Burn, many are speculating that Angie will stay back. The breastfeeding, the travel, the fact that their entourage is so huge – logistically it’s pretty daunting.
Problem though is that if Brad goes solo, In Touch and Life & Style will already have their fabrications ready about Jen’s weasling her way back into his life.
Having a couple of his kids with him could offset those insinuations – a doting dad has no time to pity his pathetic ex wife, right? And the MiniVan loves a doting dad.
Those boys look happy and adorable. LOVE Madd’s new blue hue. LOVE. Also love that they’re each carrying their own little packs filled with their own belongings. It’s impossibly cute, non?
In other Brange news, Fashion Weekly Daily reported yesterday that the November issue of W Magazine will feature cover shots of The Family Pitt taken by Brad himself in advance of the release of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, already receiving some Oscar buzz.
But if he’s taking the picture, will he be in the picture?
Have to wait 6 weeks to find out. Too long!
Aniston and Mayer are the two sides of the same coin !
Both are retarded, egomaniac, attention-craved, insecure teens ! They are kids trapped in an adult body.
I don’t care if she is smiling, i give her the benefit of the doubt for that, it’s just a smile caught in a short period of time and it could have been for anything coming in her mind.
BUT the constant pr, tricks and statements released by so called friends are long been part of her strategy to stay in the limelight and ingnit public interest. It’s pathetic, pitiful and juvenile to the fault. How old is she and how old are her friends ? 40 or 14 ? They sound like the later !
At least Mayer is making his own statement and doesn’t resort to a ‘friend’. In this regards, he has more guts than the overtly coward and hypocrit Aniston who always hasno name translators to do her dirty job !
Frankly, her and her entourage have opened fire first and made this dumping the most moronic, ridicule and pathetic circus Hollywood ever had. If they had STU their stupid ego-strikken vendetta, nobody would have brought up this stupid story and it would already run dried !
They are drama queens to the fault !

—————-
It’s not something she can repeat….the director told her to sit on her hands, keep her head still and sound depressed…it was so far removed from Rachel that people thought she could act. Unfortunately, she can only do that once or a variation on the theme but it’s not because she suddenly became a good actress.
PS On a positive note; I thought her accent was quite good

TO do what? That’s what MOVIE stars do.
So, she had a hot and heavy ‘thing’ with a guy she saw no future with? It doesn’t say much good about her that she had little or nothing invested in a guy she traveled around the world with. If she really wants to find her soulmate, she should focus on actually getting hot and heavy with someone she loves instead of someone she loves to be seen with.

She is either LYING, either CONTRADICTING herself or NYMPHOMANIAC…or the three of them.
She was married to Brad and said that she didn’t want to travel to see her husband with whom she was away for 6 months, yet she is running after the lover with whom she hasn’t any common interest, taking the plane, going to several concerts…but hey, he wasn’t important to her.
That alone shows how much Brad was important to her if she was able to do all this for a mere lover her friend said she doesn’t care of…
