Tim Gunn: Jennifer Aniston Looks Desperate
Project Runway fashion guru Tim Gunn ripped into Katie Holmes’ style and now he’s taking down Jennifer Aniston!
“Sometimes I think she has ‘desperate character’ written on her,” Tim told OK! at the Manhattan launch party for Tide and Downy Total Care. “The clothes we wear send a message. And I think that’s the message — I don’t think that’s her intention though.”
Aniston seems happy being man-free but apparently Tim doesn’t think so!

Who is this guy? Very few women in Hollywood can dress up the way Jennifer Aniston can. She can wear anything and look classy. Even Scarlett Johanssen can’t beat her. I am surprised at all these comments. To John Mayer fan: think it is the other way around. JA finally found out what kind of guy he is (that is if this relationship is not a publicity stunt & if it is not, I do believe JA was the one who ended it because it is strange the way he tried to emphasize that he ended it himself). I lost respect for your JM because he talks too much–not a gentleman also. I knew something was weird in him. He should just hook up with his fans who will adore anything in him. He is too much into himself. When a guy is that kind, not a good man. Sorry to say this but I sure lost respect for him & he has just proven what I thought he was in the first place. Glad JA got out of this. They sure look good together but he is immature and they do not have the same kind of crowd (didn’t think it would really work out for them).She is better off staying single and just wait for the right man to come to her. 39 is not really old —- she does not look it anyway. So, keep being classy JA!

Leslie Bennetts
First, full disclosure. Years ago, a journalist from Vanity Fair called me. She was supposedly friends for 20 years with my then-chief of staff, and wanted to interview me. And having some brains in my head (I don’t trust this stuff), I asked my associate about her, and she said “Y’know, she’s been a friend of mine; I’ll vouch for her.” So, I said ‘OK, I’ll call her, feel it out, and then make a decision.’
I called her, and she gave me a line of lies (that I found out later were a line of lies) about how I was a cultural phenomenon and she wanted to study this sociologically, and understand the points of view about how they became popular (but they weren’t), and she gave me this whole line, and I thought “OK, I like the point of view; she’s supposedly friends with my chief-of-staff who has known her and says she’s a decent person,” and I agreed to do it.
Meanwhile, my editor at HarperCollins said “Don’t. Trust me on this. Don’t. Trust me on this. Don’t. Trust me on this. Don’t.” Turns out (I’m going to go back and forth in history a little bit), after the article was out, my editor, who was protecting her source who was a dear friend who worked at Vanity Fair, said “I couldn’t tell you because I promised” - don’t you hate those? — I couldn’t tell you, because I promised, but that Vanity Fair , according to my source (a male who works there, whose name I do not know, or I’d give it right now) said that they actually had a planning meeting to set me up and do a hatchet piece.
I’m telling you this because I want clarity that what I’m about to say is not vengeance. You’ve heard me say I love vengeance….I love it. Justice, vengeance - all one thing to me. I love it! And you’ve also heard how I want you to go get it, usually by being really nice (’cause that kills the bad guys) and being happy and successful.
That woman from Vanity Fair came for the first meeting with me and I knew I was in trouble, when I came in and sat down, and she took a look at my figure and disdainfully asked me if I was a size zero, while she was somewhere between fat and obese, and I was trying to get her an appropriate sandwich, but she wanted to eat something with a lot of mayonnaise - I knew there was a problem from that point on, to be honest with you. And I was right. It was just a nasty hatchet piece of people saying gossipy stupid things and it was really mean. The writer’s name is Leslie Bennetts. Really mean. But I found out way too late that that was Vanity Fair ’s plan - it was their little editorial meeting, according to my editor at HarperCollins who’s not there anymore and not related to this. But she didn’t tell me in time. She said, “Well, I warned you!” A little more information would have been more helpful.

Gunn is really “gunning down” Aniston here.. Perhaps she is coming across as someone who is trying too hard . .i think he means desparate in that way.. In fairness to her, she does make dressing casual look very good but owes a lot to her stylist.
Seriously how old are most people that post here? Jen Aniston fans are racist and homophobic? LOL Im a black american female thats not racist and I happen to like Jen Aniston always have since I saw this interview with her years ago when she was still married to Brad. I wasnt even a big fan of friends but I liked her and started liking her even more after seeing her in the good girl. I have no problem with Angelina Jolie. There is nothing desperate about Jen Aniston. To the girl who compared the lady who’s kid was stolen and killed and didnt cry, why even bring that up? If that lady didn’t want to show her real emotion on camera and was able to hold it together than good for her but not everyone is.
Hell if I lost Brad Pitt, I would be crying in an interview also. It shows REAL HUMAN EMOTION. U have no proof that she made herself cry. In that interview, she never even sounded desperate, just real. She never said she wanted him back or anything like that. When you are married for 7 years, it takes a hell of alot longer to get over the person than some months. That is like a death because you were so use to one way of life. Once again, how old are these people on here? Im 27 years old and maybe most of the people on here are in their teens. U dont have to put Jen down to like Angelina or Brad. They are COMPLETELY separate. She has her own life and they have their own life. There is NO PROOF that she hires guys to date her for publicity. The whole woe is me Jen aniston thing was not created by her, it was created by gossip obsessed losers who read way too much into every little thing.
As far as this Tim Gunn guy, he is so out of there! Jen dresses totally age appropriate. In fact I dont think she shows enough skin. Only time we see her body is in bikini’s. How is that desperate? I think Jen is a beautiful woman and really she looks the same as she did on friends just older. She looks how I expected her to look at this age. Its funny that when she was with Brad, people said she was one of the most desireable women in the world and even though Angie was always pretty, she wasnt talked about nearly as much as Jen until she got Brad so Brad must have alot of power because whoever he is with is thought of as the most beautiful. I really think alot of girls were jealous of jen while she was on friends because she was the it-pretty-popular girl back then and as soon as she hit a little turbulance in life, people took that opportunity to bash her. She’s been divorced for years now. LET IT GO! its not her who cant let it go, its you guys! She never even talks about them! So what that she doesn’t have kids. Is that all women are good for is to get married and pop out babies? A family is a beautiful thing but I DONT think God almighty has the SAME life path for everyone and if she doesn’t have kids, maybe thats because God has a different plan for her. Have you guys ever thought of that or are you all athiests too?
Go Jen Aniston! U are a beautiful woman and you continue to keep it movin!
I knew nothing about the Pitt marriage and was sad for all concerned when I read about their breakup and subsequent divorce. Then l read her VF interview. Immediately after I finished reading the article I knew she had made a huge mistake. How did I know? I remember how much I whined about my dead marriage and my ex to my friends and strangers for God’s sake when my first husband dumped me.
My whining came back to bite me in the booty when I met people on the streets later. “How are you dear?” “Are you OK now?” I would run into people months after my divorce asking him those questions when I didn’t want to hear about my divorce anymore…arrgh.
I promised myself and twelve other people to go to counseling if I ever had that experience again.
Jennifer should not have given the interview until she was more together; She should not have enlisted Oprah to join her pity party.
I couldn’t believe she was following John Mayer around i.e. reality star Jessica Simpson, taking snaps and drooling over him. Then I saw pics of John cavorting in a pool with two girls. He is a young man after all and an entertainer. Puleeeze Jennifer. He had to embarrass you to make you leave him ALONE. He had to put you through another public dumping. I don’t blame him. Women know better than to be so desperate with any man. With no commitment Jennifer wastes her valuable time chasing him to all corners of the earth.
Jennifer needs therapy NOW. Who in their right mind would date this man and follow him around the world snapping his picture just like all the other women he dumped. He is a man for God’s sake. Have some pride woman.
I am so far from a fashion person, I would never argue with the fabulous Tim Gunn about his definition of her fashion sense, so I will take him at his word. I respect him and if I were Jennifer I would bring on a new stylist.
And, if I were her I would stop hangin’ with Courtney and her family, make my life a life more meaningful and makeup with my toxic mom if only to connect before she dies.
ROTFLMAO……I KNEW SHE WAS OLD AND UGLY…BUT ..NOW DESPERATE….LMAO…UMM…OLD UGLY AND DESPERATE…LOL.
SOUNDS LIKE A DOG TO ME

Failed movie actress Jennifer Aniston is returning to television.
The former Friends star is going to be appearing on an upcoming episode of 30 Rock for her former network, NBC.
Maniston’s publicist just confirmed the news, adding that “she is shooting now.”
No details are being released about her character.
Will she play a fading Hollywood actress who dated a closeted gay and is unlucky in love????

…comments like that just make him look like the desperate one…
——-
You’re not making sense!
Tim Gunn is a fashion expert, and it’s the most normal thing for him to make judgements on women’s outfits. Just because he gave a negative opinion doesn’t make him desperate. Say you don’t agree with him or just ignore him.
VanityfaIR @ 08/29/2008 at 1:29 pm
Great post, I really love it! I am sure that now your life is great!
Also, I agree with you on Tim Gunn comment, he is great, I love his sense for fashion, I have nothing against Jennifer, Angelina or Brad! I wish them all only the best! Maybe Jennifer should listen to Tim Gunn advice, she is great woman, but maybe with her outfit she is doing something wrong, why else would he say that she looks desperate?!?

I’m a fan of AJ. I remember seeing “Seven,” but before seeing Mr&Mrs Smith, I never paid attention to BP.

I’ve always been interested in fashion. All the women in my extended family are.
I love clothes, and I wouldn’t argue with Tim Gunn either.
I respect him and if I were Jennifer I would bring on a new stylist.
And, if I were her I would stop hangin’ with Courtney and her family, make my life a life more meaningful and makeup with my toxic mom if only to connect before she dies.

Very good advice, imo, but I don’t know why you call the mother ‘toxic.’
From Perez:
Tim Gunn Hates Jennifer Aniston
Has he forgotten to take his menopause medication????
He’s been SO catty lately.
We love it!
Earlier this week, he was attacking Miley Cyrus, branding her a “tart.”
Now, Tim Gun is lashing out at Jennifer Aniston, calling her desperate and high maintenance.
Hey, the truth hurts!
The Project Runway star tells OK! magazine of Aniston, “Sometimes I think she has ‘desperate character’ written on her. The clothes we wear send a message. And I think that’s the message — I don’t think that’s her intention though.”
Ouch!
To rub some salt in Jen’s wounds, Tim adds, “I can’t help but think that’s she’s pretty high-maintenance.”
Meow!

JA has a lot of issues that’s why she’s been seeing a psychiatrist for years (which she admitted), I think she really has to deal with her relationship with her mom first.
No relationship is quite as primal as the one between a mother and her daughter. “It’s the original relationship, and it’s also a relationship that has been sentimentalized but not honored,” says Lee Sharkey, Ph.D., who directs the Women’s Studies program at the University of Maine at Farmington, where she teaches a popular course in mother-daughter relationships. “Women grow up and our energy is largely turned toward men, but the original love relationship is with a mother. If we as daughters don’t acknowledge that, we’re closing ourselves off from a great source of power and fulfillment and understanding of ourselves.”

Who made this guy an expert on anything, except how to sport gray hair?
I read the VF article of ms aniston. it was obviously against brad pitt and angie. her friends did mentioned that brad was not really into having a family. but I have a US mag and people mag i think it was year 2002, brad did declare he wanted 7 little girls. and that article from that mag said brad is a wanna be dad which also inlude adam sandler. it also features jennifer aniston. It said in the magazine she was not ready for a chil because agents will not cast her for movies. For me i dont get that VF article.
For Jennifer fans : I think she is the coolest person and totally has it goin on ,
shes a great actress ,so is courtney cox dirt is a great show you guys should check it out, and I cant wait for Marley an Me to come out .
jen fan @ 08/29/2008 at 5:14 pm
dirt is a great show you guys should check it out
************************************************************
I did. I was underwhelmed. So were most of the people who saw it, which, no doubt, is why the show was canceled.
jen fan @ 08/29/2008 at 5:14 pm you are an idiot …
I like Jen Aniston, but Tim Gunn was kind of right about this. I’m not saying she is or looks desperate, but dating John Mayer, and the faceless models before him? WTF is she thinking? Did she really think any of them would be the “one”? Thats poor judgment on her part, and no I don’t like the Jolie -Pitt union, I think their bother whores. Jen just needs to be with someone a little older and NOT in the business, because if she doesn’t it will just seem like she is trying to show her ex hubby that she can match him, and she is too good for that type of game!
Has anyone seen this blind from Entertainment Lawyer’s blog? It’s dated August 20th.
Chances are, whoever pops in your head for this one is the right answer. Sometimes they are easy, but this one was just too fun to not share with you.
I always thought that one day these two female B list actresses (#1-tv and film equally; #2 primarily tv) with almost identical careers who are best friends would get married. Well, they still might actually, but for now they are on the outs. If I could cackle right now, I would. The two have been known to vacation with each other. However, when it came time to go this year, #1 thought she was going to have other plans, so #2 made plans with some other celebrities, because that’s what celebrities do. They vacation together. Well, when #1’s plans fell through she naturally thought she could tag along. Not so fast. Turns out #2, et al didn’t want #1 around and #2 didn’t hold back in telling her why. As in 30 minutes of telling off. Should have done that a really long time ago.
Since the Cox Arquettes are currently on vacation with the McGuires and the Borat clan, it’s obvious what this one is about.

************************************************************************
Evidently she isn’t, because she keeps on playing the game, and she keeps on losing.
Evil women and her fans scorn we are so sorry men can’t stay with her. Men know what they need and unfortunately Jen can’t give it. So what do she and her fans do sit and lie on the men that walk away from her. Bitter vindictive bi#ch turns my stomach.
lynne,
If she thought she was too good for that type of game, she wouldn’t have played it. She knew/knows how good she was/is, don’t you think? How do you know she’s too good? Are you her?
