Jennifer Aniston: Benjamin Button is Amazing!
Here are a few more amazing pics of Jennifer Aniston in the latest issue of EW, in promotion of her latest film Marley & Me (out Christmas Day). Check out a few more highlights from the interview, including one where she compares herself to Miley Cyrus’s on-screen character:
On Barack Obama being elected President: ‘[Election night] was just so moving, so unbelievable. And now what do people do? Read my crap [in the tabloids]! Everything comes to a halt: ‘What did she say?’ Good God. You have to laugh at it all at the end of the day.”
On her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (it also comes out Christmas Day): “(pretending to chastise the reporter) Oh, you had to go there! I thought we were out of the woods. (sighs) I want [Button] to do great. I’ve seen about an hour of it. It’s amazing. Amazing.”
On comparing herself to a Disney show: ”Everyone projects their thoughts on you. Everyone’s got an opinion. I wish they didn’t. I’ve gotten to the point where, if I focus on all of that stuff, I won’t make a move, you know? (pauses) There’s this character — it’s like my Hannah Montana. That’s how I feel. There’s my Hannah Montana and then there’s me.”
On never being happier as she approaches 40: ”I don’t know if I’m just a late bloomer, but I feel like everything is just beginning.”
On recounting a story about her ex who gave her a disobedient dog for Valentine’s Day: “Note to self: Don’t give dogs as gifts unsolicited. (She lets the name Tate [Donovan] slip.) I’m sorry — I mean, my ex-boyfriend.”

Vogue 2008:
* What really rankled Aniston about the piece was that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how her relationship developed on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, while Aniston was still married to and living with Pitt. “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” says Aniston.
Vanity Fair 2005:
* “She wasn’t naïve,” says Aniston pal Kristin Hahn. “She’s not suggesting she didn’t know there was an enchantment, and a friendship [between Pitt and Jolie].”
* “I don’t think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her,” says Courteney Cox, who vacationed with her husband, David Arquette, and the Pitts on Anguilla just before they announced their separation. “There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don’t tell. At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction that he fought for a period of time.”
Vogue 2007, Angelina Jolie’s actual quote:
* “Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.’ … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.”
Vogue 2008:
* “Well, it never was that bad,” she says, knowing that it will be hard for a lot of people to believe. “I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’ It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other. Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high.
Vanity Fair 2005:
* “Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I’ve thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely.
* “I don’t feel like a victim,” she says. “I’ve worked with this therapist for a long time, and her major focus is that you get one day of being a victim—and that’s it. Then we take responsibility for our own input. To live in a victim place is pointing a finger at someone else, as if you have no control. Relationships are two people; everyone is accountable. A lot goes into a relationship coming together, and a lot goes into a relationship falling apart.
* “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing,” she says.
Vogue 2008:
* These days, the public fascination with her relationship with Vince Vaughn seems almost quaint. I ask her if there’s anything else to be said about that time. “I call Vince my defibrillator,” she says with genuine affection. “He literally brought me back to life
Vanity Fair 2005:
* When she arrived in Chicago to film The Break-Up, the gossip media, frantic for a new development, immediately plunged her into a torrid romance with her co-star, Vince Vaughn. This affair apparently does not exist.
* “I adore Vince Vaughn, but I’m not going out with Vince Vaughn,” she says. “I barely know the guy. We’ve exchanged a wine-and-cheese basket for the start of the movie, and we’ve gone out to dinner with the director and other people. We’ve got to get to know each other.”

“Wow, one boy dying of cancer! How many people do you think Brad and Angelina have actually SAVED their lives? Stop comparing them, Jen comes up short every time.”
……………………………………..
uh, is there like a competition that i was not aware of??
geez, some people are so lame…
….
…and just for the record, how many boys dying of cancer have you helped?
Clara - there are NO other childless woman in HW like Jen. All of them act their age and not say such childish words like ar 40 yrs old … Done. Next.
i.e. Ever heard of Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry say - Done. Next. in a sentence. Nope. it is because they are grown up women acting their age mentally et al.
Btw, I am not bothered by Jen. Just amused by her trainwreck of a life.
Jen is so pretty.
These Angie crazies are ridiculous. They know way too much about Jen. More than a normal fan would know. hhhmmmmm.

Now come on, Laura, we’ve been all over this before. Your idol doesn’t do a damn thing for anybody if it means she has to haul her ass off her yoga mat and actually get out and get her hands dirty. Oh yeah, she’ll throw a check at a charity or unload three crappy purses she no longer wants, but other than that, forget it. Charity’s not her thing, she said so herself.
You’d think that just once in a while she’d get off her butt and really give her time and effort. It’s not like she’s overrun with projects and invitations lately. She’s got nothing on her hands but time. No movies being made (she can’t even get the ones she just finished released), nothing else coming up except the mutt movie coming out, and it’s interesting that she doesn’t seem to be doing much to promote it, know what I’m saying? Has she given up on the movie in advance? Just wondering.

” John Talks About Jen Again! Mayer Calls Maniston A Liar ”
……………………………………
oh, the twisting and distorting again…
Uh, no he didn’t. He just happens to have a sense of humor. Unlike you.
loonies what do you want from this woman?
Right!! since when did she have to get to know a man to Open Up??
WIDE!!!!!!! (hag is ”’Still”’ easy @40) pity party…… Absolutely :roll:
Aniston is ugly
why you yourself compare her? by the way jen is dating young hot john. she does not give sh it about your old crapy man. So there is nothing that tigh them.go figure out.
Fabulous pics . . . . more like the ones Vogue SHOULD have utilized, if they were the classy magazine they pretend to be; it’s great to hear her speak so candidly and not have her words minced. I hope Anna Wintour really is on the way out.
I do not know why loonies are frustrated about her intereview? the woman has moive coming out and she is promoting it. and she is talking about herself and the lie out there. So why that bother you loonies.

***********************************************************************************************
I am betting that some time around her 40th birthday, or soon after, she is going to realize what a big pile of nothing her life is, with more of the same ahead of her, and she is going to have a total freaking meltdown. And it is not going to be pretty.
Jen to NYT writer Caryn James @ 12/04/2008 at 6:37 pm
“Who fcuking sh*t in your Wheaties?”
……………………………
lol. i loved that…
bet - Oh you just mentioned one of the Jen’s trainwreck of a life that I was telling Clara a few mins ago.
John Mayer - the young man who happens to love pissing on his women(his words) which I take to mean it is hhis way of marking them like a dog.
Why or why some women reduce themselve to this(being pissed on)…*shakes head*
What a trainwreck kinda life Jen lives. Then again, like I said 2 years ago, when it comes to men, she seem to have them for 2 uses: sex and career growth. C’est la vie of Jennifer Aniston.

Oh you bet.No one is above mother nature. Comes 40 and you got to do that life re-evaluation.
She seems happy; like she is in a really good place in her life. I think she was sweet to make a nice comment about her ex-husband’s film. Hopefully that will help.
Kearnie
you do not get what i am saying. The woman is dating another man probably in love , so why loonies keep comparing her with thier idol as if she is going to take her crapy old man.
And aslo, if you go X 17 site you can see her big smile when she see her hot grammy nomminated , talented young hot man. That is a woman who does not give a give Sh it about anyone of you including your iodls. tha what love about. it comes from anywhere end up on your door.

****************************************************************************************
I just bet you did. Really classy, huh? Just like something Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton would say. Only those three have an excuse, at least: none of them is pushing 40.
You know who would never say a thing like that in an interview?
Reese Witherspoon
Nicole Kidman
Catherine Zeta-Jones
Halle Berry
Angelina Jolie
Kate Winslet
Keira Knightley
Katie Holmes
Hilary Swank
Gwyneth Paltrow
I could list a lot more, but I think the point has been made.
You loonies , your idols and some media want to crash her again and again but she does not want to be defeated . She become to strong for all of you including your iodls to break her. So give it up, she is to strong to break her. She is one hell of servibal , i lvoe her for it.
Listen to all the jealous haters out there. All of you ladies are dying to have Jen’s face, hair, makeup etc. It’s pretty pathetic to try to rag on someone so much. You guys are pathetic…my bet is the majority of you ladies are fat asses who can’t get a man.
Beautiful pix of Jen and such a cute puppy!! Thanks Jared!
Poor pathetic Jolie fans still hanging out here trying to trash the heck out of Jen…….life must be boring for them. (Sigh)
Jill
so who cares who does not say what? Jen said it , so what are you going to do about it? go hung yourself over the word. I mean this from loonies who are here day night and talk a lot of Sh it and concern about jen use of word , get a life.

Jill, i usually give credit to you, but i had to stop reading your comment at this sentence : ” “Charity’s not her thing, she said so herself.” No, she didn’t say that. Maybe you should read that interview again.
Well. you sound like you’re aware of every little step JA takes. You’re not. Some people, sometimes, do stuff privately… did you know that JA is involved with St. Judes since before Brad? What was her “fake” reason to do it back them? Or why are her intentions / actions less important than Angelina’s? (btw what “getting hands dirty” means to you? Flying to poor countries and alert the media about it? …and lets not forget, one detail: on the exact same week your newest movie is opening…?)
Also, what’s wrong with doing yoga? I don’t get it? Is that some kind of a thing shalow people do? Because i’ve done it and i consider myself a pretty good, non-shalow person.
I think Jen was to nice in the interview. I would have blasted them both.
Jen always the sweet one..,She did nothing wrong. If angie can speak out so can Jen.!!!! It has nothing to do with loving Brad. That’s been over, and Angie should think before she speaks out.
Whatever happens to Angie with her big mouth shes done everything to herself…..
So get off Jens back already.. Leave all of them alone…..
CLINIQUA @ 12/04/2008 at 10:34 am Pathetic (the EW same ol,’ same ol’ Maniston interview, that is).

Jen is seriously a nut job. She just don’t get it.
