Jennifer Aniston Takes Action For Healthy Kids

Jennifer Aniston Takes Action For Healthy Kids

Smartwater and its spokesperson Jennifer Aniston just launched a limited-edition smartwater bottle, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the non-profit organization Action For Healthy Kids, a group that gets kids moving, eating well, staying hydrated and educated on what it takes to live healthy lives.

5 cents of each bottle sold will go directly to Action for Healthy Kids, with a minimum donation of $1 million. The bottle’s label was inspired by a mural Jennifer and a group of 20 kids from the AFHK program in Los Angeles did this past fall.

Jennifer shared, “I really learned so much from these kids during the art session and am grateful to be able to partner with smartwater to help such an amazing organization, one that makes an enormous difference in kids’ lives every day.”

good cause!

# 2

yes, good cause but Aniston would never share her money with these kids….

# 4

I can totally tell that comment was from her heart. Scripted and boring and lame

It only took 2 posts for somebody to be nasty when Jen is trying to help a great cause.

Let her donate a million to a cause. Then we’ll think better of her.

How much does she get per bottle sold…..10 cents?

# 8

Thought she does charity in private.hypocrite b i t c h!

# 9

Because if she does any thing work…they can’t b*&ch about that.

If she has at least a kid of her own then I would believe her cause. But I think she is a selfish woman who only care about her hair, tan, body…

Such a faker.

I really like the fact that Jen is subtle in her charity. She has always been a private person and she sticks to that in all aspects of her life.
#2 Kim, if you go to looktothestars. org it lists what charities most celebrities are involved in and Jen is involved in quiet a number of them.
Charities supported
Jennifer Aniston has supported the following charities:

Clothes Off Our Back
EB Medical Research Foundation
Friends of El Faro
GLAAD
Habitat For Humanity
Lili Claire Foundation
Luke Neuhedel Foundation
Project A.L.S.
Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
US Campaign for Burma

And she is involved in these causes:
Causes supported
Adoption, Fostering, Orphans, Cancer, Children, Disaster Relief, Education, Family/Parent Support, Gay/Lesbian Support, Health, Homelessness, Human Rights, Mental Challenges, Peace, Rape/Sexual Abuse

I don’t think it’s fair to knock any celebrity, not just Jen, by saying they don’t give back because many of them do give but they are just low key about it.

You guys can’t have it both ways. ***** when you think she doesn’t do any charity and ***** when she does. It’s funny how you all spin spin spin

As I said before, Jen does a lot of charity (this is only a tiny example), she just don’t need to prove it for anybody just because some of you staying comparing her to Angelina all the time, even so many years had past now. You can’t forget her.

Jen is not only a beautiful woman. She has a beautiful heart. That’s the reason I really love her, more even than by her talent, that it’s also great. She’s a wonderful person and deserves all the best.

thought she does charity in private! she is a hypocrite like her fans.all of a sudden she donates 1 million to charity.a question to jenfans: why did she announce it if she is a private person??????????????

@Kim: im guessing you know her well to make that assumption? ……………..yeah i thought so. please do not be so naive to believe the propaganda the media is feeding you

And how much goes into her pocket. Kids in school do not need expensive water..she could be helping to fund reading programs, tutoriing programs. at risk programs art programs since many school are forced to cut them because of budgets being sliced. I would have more respect for her efforts if she was talking about diet and exercise. She loves yoga then fund a yoga program.

For every bottle that is sold another is thrown into the environment. Where are all the eco supporters.. I am so tired of hearing about her helping children.. She is such a phony.. Can’t stand her more and more.. I am sure her fans will rush here to claim what a great thing she is doing.

Yeah right..

Janethedoe @ 06/23/2009 at 2:10 pm

stevie, no offense just read the article carefully,

“5 cents of each bottle sold will go directly to Action for Healthy Kids, with a minimum donation of $1 million. The bottle’s label was inspired by a mural Jennifer and a group of 20 kids from the AFHK program in Los Angeles did this past fall.”

I thought doing anything for charity is good thing. Loons spin it into a bad thing…I thought that was a big complaint of you guys…just keep spinning away…maybe you will start believing your own delusions..wait you do. Idiots grow up.

I normally do not comment but out of the hateful commenets i have heard i felt the need to comment. why do you feel the need to be so spiteful towards someone you have never met in your life and will probably never meet? your only information about her comes from tabloid magazines who run on fabricated stories 99% of the time. so please can someone please answer my question as to why you really dislike her and really think about your answer.

Whatever she did, does or will do, you, Angelina fans, will be nasty with her, because you just can’t let go this sick angry of you. So sad for you, live like that!
Jen, great action, one more of many. We, whose know you a little better, know that you do a lot and is an amazing woman.

happynoww @ 06/23/2009 at 2:15 pm

At least she isn’t like those celebs who sell their kids pictures to give the money to charity instead of using money from their own paychecks. Your children should always be private and should never be used to give money to charity. That is just sick and creepy to allow people to gawk at your kids like that for money. Who would want to walk by a newsstand and see your own child’s picture on the cover of a magazine unless your ego loves it. Hey look at how much money my kid is worth. My kid is worth more than your kid. Sick.

@mich

It’s funny every tabloid about Angie and Brad is a lie but the absolute truth when it comes to Jen. The hypocriscy on this board is mind boggling

Do not waste your money on expensive Smartwater, stupidwater or other bottled water. They are wasteful.

Boil your tap water, let it cool, put in a reusable bottle and use it whenever you want.

Come on, this is getting funny. Everything about this adorable lady gets so polemic. Even when we talking about a good act, pure and simple like that. This sick and cruel guys here need doctor’s help, for sure. My Gosh, where the world will be with people like these? While you are wasting your time in the internet trying to hurt her, she is working, living, and being brave and lovely. It’s not just about how she is richer than you, or prettier than most of you, I’m sure, but it’s about make some real difference. No matter if a small or a big one, but try to do your best to be honest, strong and happy. She’s not but awesome.

LOL . . . she’ll do kid charity work as long as it’s in an art classes where does not get dirty, as long she does not get her feet on dirty grounds, as long as she does not mingle with smelly abandoned children, dirty dafur kids, etc. What a faker.

Well done Jennifer,she has a heart of gold.

. . . low key charity? Or you mean “low money charity contribution’ If Anniston contributes a $1million dollars to any charity, it would make the news. But . . . nothing. Sure she’s part of the charities mentioned here, but only because she was approached and forced to donate/give, not that she volunteers to give . . .

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 2:33 pm

Right, #5. I wonder when the comparisons to Angelina Jolie will come in and her fans will trash Aniston’s praise-worthy efforts to help children’s lives.

She shouldn’t have to, #7. When some donates to charity anything at all when they don’t have to, they should be respected. Who are you to judge?

Do you have any idea how moronic that sounds, #10.

Correct, #12 and #14.

She could be doing that…bust she doesn’t want to, #17! An organization that helps promote good health in kids is just fine. It’s not to get water sent to schools!

You’re slamming the fact that she promotes an item that’s contained in a plastic bottle? Are you insane?

How you think this is not a great thing she’s doing is beyond me.

True #19 and #20.

I’m no Angelina, Brad or linabrad fan, but what the heck is smartwater? Pure stupidness. Just engage in straight up charity work without endorsing commercial products for publicity and financial gain.

good cause but whenever she does anything it sounds so forced –not entirely genuine. But like i said–good cause.

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 2:39 pm

Right, #23.

Or just recycle the bottle, #24.

Correct, #25.

So what, #26? There’s no scale out there by which you measure admiration and respect of a person’s charity by how much hard work they put into it.

You can’t be forced to donate anything, #28. It’s always going to be voluntary. Motivations may range from good PR to genuine care but it’s always voluntary,

Jennifer Anniston has as much substance as Paris Hilton; but at least she’s not as dumb as Paris Hilton.
Brad Pitt leaving her for Angelina Jolie sorta opened her eyes to things other than beaches, beauty salons, spas, etc. Good for her.

Jen is definitly a hit. Look at this! No matter what she does, people make a carnival here!!! Don’t you ever listen the history that says that hate and love are just two faces of the same feeling? I think you like her more than you think, bad guys.

About my opinion, I just want to say: keep going, babe. You are the best. Love you, gorgeous Jen!

These stupid people who keep saying she was forced to do something.Forced….did she tell you that herself.You haters are pathetic.Just dont keep giving your negative comments on something that is good..jeez..Jennifer Aniston could give her entire wealth away to charity and it would still be not enough to some people.
leave her alone and stop bitchin.

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 2:49 pm

Why, #30? Where’s the harm?

Because you look for reason to find fault, #31.

Right, #35.

Dread not @ 06/23/2009 at 2:52 pm

@ You/Me

Good job on the list. This one, right here: Rape, Abuse & INCEST National Network. Must be why Brangie Moonies dislike Jen so much. It ALL makes sense, now! How could Ange keep kissin’ her bro, and lovin’ on him, if people like, Jen want to stop it! Bwahahahahahaha! Bwahahahahahahaha!

*

@ happynoww

A certain, jutting toothed, bug eyed, lip swollen, chicken legged freak sold photos of her kids to a magazine awhile back. Yeah, She did! Real humanitarian. The megalomaniacal, saint Angie!!

*

Helping people on the downlow, Jenny Ani. Good on you. There’s just as much dignity, doing it that way, than “using your celebrity” to bring attention to yourself… I mean, your cause, right, Angie Jolie? Have at it, Brangie Moonies. I know you gotta scratch that itch. LOL.

If you care about our kids’ future, please stop promoting the harmful PLASTIC BOTTLES! She doesn’t care any bit about kids nor charity. This is for her PR.

Ms. Marla @ 06/23/2009 at 2:53 pm

still the lovely “golden one”….

I very much like to work with good causes.

bwahahahahhahahahahha!!!!!

wow brangie does it for pr toooooo!!! hahahahahaha! this is a joke!

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 3:08 pm

So what if’s it for PR, #38? The poor kids benefiting from charity sure as hell don’t care why anyone wants to help them.

Last time I checked, there was a little something called recycling…

Haha, the best she can do: action through someone else.

#11..You are lying,. Aniston does not give to those charity’s you mentioned.

@lei: how about you compare yourself to angie do you measure up since shes on such a high pedistal in your eyes !!! you probably dont even measure yourself in cm centimeters!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dd…#24…you don’t have to boil water, it is safe to drink, from the tap.

What make me sad is that any of this angry things said here is really about Jen.

Before the divorce, she was the American Sweetheart. Vogue told in large fonts: “everybody loves Jen” with stunning pics. People mag choosed her like the most beautiful person of the world. Jen was working hard, getting awards for this, living her life without do anything to hurt anyone, being a really good person. Of course, she is human, she is not perfect, but who is?

My point is: the sad thing is the guys that say here all cruel and absurd things about her, they don’t even think when they read or see something about Jen. They just disagree. No matter what. If Angelina say or do the same thing, wonderful, but Jen… not Jen.

This is the ridiculous point where we are.

Nobody has the balls to say it, but Jen was never hated before. Some guys could not like her very much, but the most of us really like her. A lot. All these angry comments of Angelina fans became obsessive with Jen of a very sick way.

They are always afraid of the meaning she had in Brad’s life, and still has, will have forever. You can’t erase it and you don’t need it. Just let go.

Jen is a good person and don’t deserve any of these negative energy here. Go get a job, or something, guys, but don’t you see it’s getting ridiculous to you act like that?

When will this ugly funny looking woman, Rachel Green, going away. She is unattractive, botoxed to the hilt, and shallow as a child. And she can’t act.

It’s a good cause.. good for her

This chick is the best.
She doesn’t need, nor want the attention that other star need.
She is a real woman, loved by many, and respected by more.

chin can't act @ 06/23/2009 at 3:32 pm

dd @ 06/23/2009 at 2:20 pm

i do all of that plus I filter it. it’s a waste of money.

OH JARED, WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE………………..BRAD AND ANGIE DOES GOOD WORK ……………AND THEN THIS THING MUST MATCH THIS ACTION…………….BUT X CAN NEVER MEASURE UP…………….SHE CANNOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO JOLIE PITT IN THIS AREA…………WHAT IS IN THAT SCREWY BRAIN OF HER’S………….

So she is going to be on JJ the whole summer self promoting herself? YUK. I rather have her in other sites since I I don’t visit much. This going to be really annoying.

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 3:08 pm

You are SO in the 1990s, of course together with Miss Aniston=Rachel. Plastic bottles are the thing of the past now. All major companies started to replace them with tap water. Recycling isn’t working, piling up the toxic waste for the environment. Do your research.

@ SALLY ..err stop LYING ..people magazine NEVER EVER EVER CHOSE HER as the most beautiful person in the world ..c’mon now!
ps it also doesnt state that she personally donated the $1MILL but it is so cleverly written that for the dunces out there the inference is that she did LOL …plus doesnt the bottled water sell for almost $2 yet only $0.05 is going “directly ” to the charity..eGad this woman has you all fooled!

You can’t be serious. You call this charity as you pollute the planet?? GMAFB, she is the most annoying media ho I have ever seen and the shallowest.

Angelina fans can’t let go?No honey we never have her. We are just tired of her and her fans hypociracy. She is promoting herself with dump water in the name of charity and her fans bash Brad and Angie for doing real chairty.
She is the one who fcuk around but her fans are still mad at 100 years ago marriage and still bash Angie’s every move because of it. She annoyingly still talk about that divorce and sells I was wronged to this day. We have every reason to dislike Fraudston.

love u jenny!!!

@a zimbo: and who has you fooled

anne marie @ 06/23/2009 at 3:48 pm

Good for Jennifer. It’s a very good cause. And for those who are ignorant and don’t understand, Jennifer does turn out for charities but she prefers to make her donations PRIVATE as do probably 90% of Hollywood. Remember, “give with your right handbut cover it with your left hand.”

FHM’s hottest of 2008

JA - Number 50
AJ - Number 15

Votes were cast fairly I’d say… there’s really a big gap…

Plastic water bottles? Yeah Jen way to go. Lets pollute and slap ourselves on the back at the same time.

Is this thing for real!?!

PR stunt!
She has a movie, she is doing it for publicity!
Saint Jen?
hypocrite !
She wants to be the next mother Teresa?
She could do it privately!
she only wants attention!

I feel good now.

@lol: since you have the inside story why dont you tell us who did she get cuaght *****ing while still married !!!!! cmon tells us we all want to hear!!!! sounds like you have a problem letting go !!! cant you worship without bashing!!! Hypocrite have you looked in the mirror!!!!

What a joke she is!

If you can’t see it you’re deaf, dumb and willfully blind.

@Sakura: and you what number where you!!! Oh didnt even make the list hahahahahaha!!! thats funny your so much better right !!! Think not !!!!!!!!!!

@val… why the violent reaction?! LMAO
Just sayin… geez, JA die hards are crazy.

You should have casted your votes so that maybe JA got higher votes!

@Maggie: that is why i said if you read my quote again most stories from tab;oids are 99% fabricated meaning all their stories, and i refer to jennifer aniston because this post relates to her. so nice try but try again

This seems like a worthy charity, but this is a scammy way to raise money for it. How about this?
–I drink 3 liters (I also believe in hydration) of water a day.
–Each 1.5L bottle of SmartWater costs 3.50.
=$7 dollars a day with only 10 cents going to charity. After one month, I would have spent 210.00 on SmartWater and given 3.00 to charity.

I could just use my britta pitcher and reusable bottles and squirrel 2 dollars a day. Then I could give them 60 bucks. And I’d know they got it, which with these backend promotions, how can you be sure?

@Sakura: why all the anger ask your self that question! Is what you said very nice .do you really think your vote matters nope!!!!

I think it’s great she is working with kids and enjoys it. I would love to see her go to a poor country and work with kids there as well. She just may really love it. I have been to places where the children had never seen a person with light hair and skin before. They look at you as if you are unreal and want to touch you. It’s very touching and cute and can be a life altering experience. Someone like Jennifer might really get enjoyement out of it.

@Sakura: doesnt feel good does it!!!!

All you haters just carry on spewing out your bile.Just keep proving how sad and pathetic you all are.But it dosnt change the facts that Jennifer Aniston is a wonderful woman.A very succesful woman.A very talented woman,A very beautiful and sexy woman.A very generous woman.Love you Jennifer.keep up the good work.

@val… I didn’t mean no harm. just laying the truth. the truth just hurts sometimes… doesn’t it? anyway, remember the GQ cover JA did? Or all the magazine covers she did for her dog movie promotion? she was supposed to be sexy. but i think it didn’t count…

Sometimes, i think being sexy is effortless.

Calm down…. I was just reporting the FHM stats between the two ladies. no harm there. A fact’s a fact.

SmartWater is expensive. It is about 4 bucks for a 1.5L bottle. So 5 cents a bottle is miserly of them. It is an advertising ploy.

But this is a worthy charity. If you want to help with their work, donate to them directly. Then JA will have done some good by making you aware of how this organization serves children in your community.

@Sakura: I was reporting the same fact about you no harm since this fact is true right!!!

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 4:27 pm

Major companies are replacing plastic bottle with tap water, #55?

You guys don’t even care the environment! It’s just more fuel for bashing! If she was promoting make-up you’d claim that Aniston was for the abuse of animals!Plastic bottles can be easily recycled or reused. And what do you want anyway? For people to stop using all plastic containers?

Read my comment to #55, #57 and #63.

Just love Jen for whatever she does. Can’t wait to see her movie :)

Liverwurst @ 06/23/2009 at 4:30 pm

To the haters: There is honestly nothing this wonderful woman can do that your hateful heart won’t twist . Shame on you.

breathinbreathout @ 06/23/2009 at 4:31 pm

This is a million dollars these kids didn’t have before so Great for Jen and kids!!!

@val… sure. same goes to you. i guess you should read my first post clearly. anyhow, obviously I am not a celebrity to be included in the list.

Still, just the same and I’d say it again…

FHM’s hottest of 2008

JA - Number 50
AJ - Number 15
sakura - in her dreams!!! LMAO
val - will have another nasty comment after this! HAHAHAHA

Ease up val, both ladies don’t care about our existence so… chill.
I just posted the stats that’s it!

I am an AJ fan though…

time to pimp herself for up coming movie since her movie flopped big time, nobody bother to go see her movie, now she’s pulling all the stops out, why don’t she just donate the money cheap witch? she just want the attention. talk about fame *********, she is so so fake, watch her stupid fans make up an excuse for this.

@Sakura: Yah i can tell all AJ fans think its ok to bash Jen or state the facts!!! Like I said once before can you worship without bashing!!!! Your right they probably dont care but did you care when it was turned on you!!! All of the sudden its me being nasty but what about your comment a fact or not it was a comment we all could have done without Thanks!!!

Cougar hunter @ 06/23/2009 at 4:43 pm

Bottle water is bad for the environment - and using her company (or one she has shares in) to encourage kids to use bottled water - is wicked. She is an idiot to keep promoting bottled water when cities around the world are banning it.

I have to laugh at the Jenhens. Why are they giving credit to Jennifer for the donation when it’s the company doing the donating? It’s not coming from her own wallet. I think she’s a major investor but Jennifer really has nothing to do with the money. She’s just losing a few thousand, if that, of profit.

Why bother to buy Jenn’s bottled water. Your just lining her pockets with money. Drink your own water and donate the money you save to your favorite charity. Jenn’s a dumbazz.

Good Old Jen @ 06/23/2009 at 4:48 pm

Good Old Jen - always out of synch with the rest of the world. As more and more celebrities are going green, Jen keeps pushing her bottled water on the masses and now on kids. She is a total bottom feeder - anything for money, including exploiting her love life, badmouthing her exs and now encouraging kids to use wasteful water.

@val… Most welcome.

JA fans bash AJ too…

I didn’t bash JA… you were defensive. I just said votes were cast fairly.

still, it doesn’t change the fact the AJ, even with 6 kids was number 15 in the list.

Nothing personal man… why don’t you check the FHM list yourself.
Too bad, we both are not there… tsk tsk..

Wow, 5cents and apparently not even Aniston’s 5 cents per bottle; instead it is the company that pays her to endorse its product. She’s such a phony.

TO # 11…@You/Me:

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT JEN IS GIVING TO ALL OF THESE FOUNDATION? ARE HANDLING HER FINANCES?

TO # 11

I MEAN, ARE YOU HANDLING ANISTON’S FINANCES?

IF SHE IS DOING IT IN SECRET, THEN WHY IS SHE OUT NOW FOR A BOTTLE OF WATER THING?

think, think, think…..

@Sakura: what a gap i recall you saying is that nice thats why I stated the gap between difference with you!!! I guess you havent seen a pic of angie these days she looks like crap!!! However I’m not on a website thats about angie bashing her! This story is about jen and all you Jen haters love to come say whatever you think is ok However when its turned around it doesnt feel good havent you ever heard the saying if you have nothing good to say dont say it at all!!!

Peter Parker @ 06/23/2009 at 5:23 pm

People use plastic bottles all the time, #85. They’re very useful and reusable and can be recycled. Even without a bottled water industry, people would need a container made of something that’s likely plastic to contain beverages.

You’re an idiot, #88.

OMG. This woman needs to get a brain! Bottled water is being banned by “smart” cities. Okay, 5 cents goes to a good cause, but Jen is also reaping profits here. This is just like her stupid endorsement of the designer T-shirts being sold with partial profits going to charity. Look at Paul Newman who had is salad dressing line. ALL THE PROFITS went to charity. If Jen wants to be taken seriously in regards to her philanthropy she needs to take her own mitts out of the pie too.

peter parker shut up.

Yes Ms. “Peter” Aniston’s minion pretending to be a man, huh? :) Major companies in NYC, such as Bloomberg, are replacing bottled water for the employees to drink at work, to save the environment. In the trailer park where you are, sure you have to use plastic still. Oh and copy Rachels’ old hair style, are we.

what a dumb idea! @ 06/23/2009 at 5:39 pm

Totally agree #88. What a waste of the environment. IT takes a lot of energy to transport, carry and recycle all that water. People can filter their own tap water and save money as well as the environment. What a STUPID cause to support! And, 5 cents is really cheap, btw. But, what do you expect from a vapid, stupid, self-centered Hollywood star who spends most of her time sun-bathing and drinking. Anyone who dates John Mayer should not be the spokesperson for anything except condoms and Valtrex. SERIOULSY!

Yes, Miss Aniston’s major income last year came from Friends residuals and endorsements from the DUMBwater.

what a dumb idea! @ 06/23/2009 at 5:42 pm

Agree catty. Jen is REALLY promoting herself here. She makes a TON of money of through her investment in the company, and her fees.
Drink more water, kiddies, because the greedy ANISTOn doesn’t have enough money already. I mean she only lives in a 18 million dollar house, has a ton of SUVs, and more $$ than some small countries.
She is SO concerned about the environment and all those kids.
YEAH, right!

SPREAD THE WORD—DO NOT BUY the DUMB water—give your money to children’s charity directly instead. This is nothing but a phony ploy by the company and Aniston’s greedy campaign.

@You/Me:
I agree with you, You/Me…She IS an amazing giver!!!

elsa @ 06/23/2009 at 2:25 pm LOL . . . she’ll do kid charity work as long as it’s in an art classes where does not get dirty, as long she does not get her feet on dirty grounds, as long as she does not mingle with smelly abandoned children, dirty dafur kids, etc. What a faker.
=========
Fruadiston wants Angie kind of apperciation with out being physically involved promoting 5 cents per bottle donations not from her but from the company? LMAO.

She’s really promoting herself here. She gets money from the fees and from her investment in the company. SHE IS GREEDY and SELF_CENTERED. And, the timing of this promotion is also SUSPICIOUS. Right after Angie goes on CNN for World Refugee Day. Jen is still trying to compete with her obviously. But, you fail Maniston, your greed and pathetic attempts at self-promotion are SO OBVIOUS.

joyce: being considered universally as someone who loathed having children with her husband for years and lying about wanting one, and that being the primary reason for the divorce, you can’t blame Aniston for at least trying to appear to be child-friendly.

So why didn’t she put her money where her mouth is? No donation?? No matching funds???

Bad form for a person who won millions in her divorce from a real movie star.

Val she got caught sitting in vince lap tounging him just a month after the divorce was final. To get to that point in public you have to have some kind of relationship before that. Even after she got caught doing that she never confirmed her relationship with Vince on the promiton of the break up. Are they an’t they is something that sold the movie beside her whinning. The same tactic now.Hope it works. She actually confirmed to deny it by lying they are not breakup later.

@Besane:
hahahaha so true.

@brad:

You are really stupid. Do you really think someone believes that you are Brad Pitt and that he still loves her.

Jennifer Anniston you are such a greedy and spoiled human being.

For whatever reason(s) she may have, glad to see any celebrity trying to use their fame and exposure for a good cause. She bought $10 million in Smartwater stock to get this gig, so it’s a win win situation for her. Good advertising, good PR (because she really does care about thoses fat little kids), and hopefully a good program for the kids. She has studied and learned from her nemesis, that’s where Jolie’s power comes from. It’s not her fans who elevated her to #1 celeb, it’s her haters, just don’t think they realize it.

Gee, I learned all that stuff from my parents.

And you’re a fraud, #95. Get your stalking ass back to the Suri Cruise threads where you belong. You think we don’t know who you are?

Why doesn’t she do something constructive for once in her life, stop pimping bottled water and just donate $5 million to her favorite charity.?
It’s not even her money that’s being donated here. Smartwater is donating the money, not her.

Could it be that she is also a very shallow woman? A very vain woman (blowing $50 K on a hair stylist)? A very narcissistic woman? A very self-centered woman? A very self-involved woman? A very boring woman?

And all the rest of you nitwits: Jesus please us, CAN ANY OF YOU IDIOTS READ??
.

5 cents of each bottle sold will go directly to Action for Healthy Kids, with a minimum donation of $1 million.

.
IT’S NOT HER MONEY THAT’S BEING DONATED HERE, PEOPLE!! SMARTWATER IS DONATING THE MONEY, NOT ANISTON!
.
And you really need to start reading between the lines: 5 cents of each bottle will go directly to ACH, but how much of each bottle will go to Aniston? Ten cents? Fifteen cents? If you think she won’t get her cut out of this, there’s a bridge out in Brooklyn I’ll sell to you cheap.
.
I’ve said it on here a hundred times and I’ll say it again: the common denominator of Aniston’s fans is they aren’t very bright.

The Jenfans are baffling. They hate Angelina for donating her own money. Yet they call Jennifer a great humanitarian for not even donating anything. Smartwater is making the donation. Jennifer is just the spokesperson.

Jill Jen does donate money. Jen is also involved in alot of charities.
Your the one that is really boring with the same old crap. It doesn’t matter what Jen does it will never be good enough for you.
One more thing when you have a foundation for charities you now what some one donates or they speak about what one donates to there foundation. Thats not all there money people donate toward it. ‘I’ve always thought it was private and personal to give without anyone knowing , it seems more special to me.
Write down what other stars give. We already and always know what Angie & Brad give. Write the list give other stars some credit for what they do. Your real good at gathering list. Jill you won’t find to many,because its private they don’t want to draw attention it means alot to them.

Jen its great for anyone to be involved or use there star power towards donating monies toward charities. I also see how many stars are involved in so many different charities including yourself. Your a good person. Keep up the good work. Every bit helps.

only 5cents per bottle goes to the cause? WTH?
that’s robbery.
Typical Aniston fake charity hype. ugh

To All fugly fans:
——————–

HOW MUCH OF HER $100m HAS SHE DONATED? THE CHILDREN
ONLY NEEDS A TINY %AGE OF HER $100m,

HOW MUCH WILL SHE GET PER BOTTLE SOLD?

AND I THOUGHT SHE DOES CHARITY WORK IN SECRET AND DOES NOT ADVERTISE HA? HYPOCRITES !!!

Wow, I like how she doesn’t run to the media with all the charity she does, unlike Pitt and Jolie.

Jolie & Pitt are the biggest PR media wh@res around. They donate to the Pitt-Jolie foundation and call that donation.

Why you read notes about people you dislike? I don’t get it! When I read Just Jared I look for the information I’m interested in, not everything about all celebs. I read about Jen because I admire her. She inspires me in so many different ways. Nothing you say here can change that. She is very special to me and to a million other people that love her work and her way to be. You’re so boring, repeating the same thing… blablabla… of course Jen does a lot of charity, but what’s the point? Why don’t you bothered another celeb about it? You can’t forget about her because you’re so fanatic about her life, just because one day she was married with Brad Pitt and you are fans of Angelina, of a morbid way. Let’s turn this OLD page. It’s really wasting of time trying to say bad things about a woman that is so loved for so many people. Give up. Or not, if you don’t have anything else to do. I feel sorry for you. Really.

By the way, this is not a competition of charity. We all admire all kind of charity because any act of kindness is welcome, of Angelina, Jen or somebody else. Or not? Do you want to creat a Oscar for it? That’s insane! Jen, you’re really brave to deal with all this crap. Lucky you that you’re so special that can put all this away. Gosh!

ladylurksalot @ 06/23/2009 at 7:59 pm

Lord knows I can’t stand this woman, but I can give a little ( and I do mean a little) credit where credit is due. At least she’s making somewhat of an effort to benefit others in promoting this water. There’s a long way to go, but I guess it’s a start.

JILL, $5m IS TOO MUCH FOR A GREEDY, SELF-CENTERED, VAIN WOMAN, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY HAIR DO AND GREY COVERAGE SHE CAN ACHIEVE WITH THAT? I’M SURE THE KIDS DON’T WANT THAT MUCH, LET HER DONATE JUST $250k OR $500k (1/2m), THAT IS NOT TOO MUCH AND WON’T MAKE A DENT ON HER $100m. IF SHE CAN SPEND $50k ON HER HAIR, SHE CAN SPARE THE CHILDREN A LOUSY $500k OF HER MONEY AND THAT IS REAL CHARITY!!!

Jason (#126), you’ve a good point. Why use this all the time? Some time we wnat to talk about art, movies, culture and other things that are important too. Charity is essencial in this world, of course, and no doubt it’s important to do and talk about it, but not only about it.

Aniston is the epitome of mediocrity, she just got lucky with Friends and marrying Pitt. She’s a role model for every woman who was left for a younger, better lookiing woman (unfortunately quite a sizable majority today) and every woman who is not beautiful, or particularly talented, but who believes that if Aniston can realize the dream, so can they. She has a lot of money and hired the most powerful PR machine in Holllywood (beats having any real talent). They are the stars in this womans career. The years of her being Mrs. Pitt were easy, if the studios wanted him they’d throw a bone to her. But after the break up they saw a market for the “wronged ex-wife” role model and have capitalized on it for 4+ yrs. The rags (Star, In touch, etc.) are all to willing accomplices in keeping the triangle going strong (how many years and kids has it been?), knowing that nothing sells like Pitt & Jolie. Think she was in a prime position to break the mold of 40+ actresses in Hollywood but went the conventional route. She had (has) a die hard fanbase who would have supported her in anything, yet she went the surgical (I’m really not 40) route to stay relevant. No risks in her movie choices, make believe boyfriends to stay in the news, constant referrals to who she once was, unbridled hatred for the woman who finally gave her Ex the family he always wanted. It’s really, really sad.

The bottle’s label was inspired by a mural Jennifer and a group of 20 kids from the AFHK program in Los Angeles did this past fall.

..
What? All they did was color the word Water. The label is as boring as Aniston.
Plus if she really cared she would have said she would match any money given up to 1 million. But we all know Aniston doesn’t really care just good PR for her next stupid movie.

If you don’t like Jennifer then why do you waste your time reading about her and taking the time to make such horrible comments.
Grow up

This is not the very first time that Jen does charity. She have been helping kids with cancer for more than a decade (an this is just one of the many causes she supports). Why don’t you try to informe yourself better before judge someone? You don’t even know who she really is. When you know it, you’ll see she is a terrific woman with a great heart.

did we really need a whole post on this
yawn, more aniston pics plz

Every time that Jared mention something about Jen, the fans of Angelina get pissed of, like if it’s personal. Guys, are you getting crazy? It’s not a war: who is the best? They are different woman and each one has her value. I love Jen. Like an actress, like a person, just like she is. And this don’t have anything to do with Angelina. Why do you think when we say good things about Jen we are trying to offend Angelina? Don’t you see? Why don’t you put your energy to wish Angelina all the best instead wish to Jen all the worst. That’s negative, primitive and ridiculous. You should know that have all these bad feelings can kill you someday. It’s sick. And, Jen, congrats for this act, like the others, and congrats for who you are, girl. You’re stunning!

BOTTLED WATER IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. The 5cts they donate for every bottle does not make up for the cost of cleaning up and recycling the bottles of plastic.
.
On a remote beach recently and saw the RUBBISH which were washed up to shore comprised mainly polystyrene and plastic, mainly in the form of PLASTIC BOTTLES.
.
I find it hard to believe that tap water in the US tastes soooo bad that it is necessary to drink bottled DUMBwater - which incidentally comes from the FCUKING TAP anyway.
.

this is so funny, this woman is truly a joke, how desperate and dumb she actually is, and her dumb fans are hilarious, no wonder her career is still in high demand, it’s scares me to death that we have so many ignorant people in the world, and their leader is this dumb woman, oh god. (hey Jen,… tell your stupid, dumb fans, the sky is falling, hahahaha) watch them run or make up a reason to defend you.

She is not doing a great thing because she has a vested interest in the business as part shareholder. She invested $10m in the business and stands to get a cut of any profit made. It is in her interest that she promotes the business, the higher the profits the more dividend (returns) she gets. She has more to gain than the children and using the children or pretending to do charity work for children will only escalate the profits for her and the company.

and who said only brads fans don’t like this woman?, i am no ones fan, but it does seem to be more genuine and sincere when brads partner does it, this bimbo just wants attention, she has to pull stunts like this because she has nothing else to offer, she is as shallow as they come.

Tap Water vs Bottled Water
Choosing between tap and bottled water is ultimately a personal decision. You may not want to base your decision only on the taste.

Bottled water is not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water in the United States. That is the conclusion of “Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype”- the Natural Resources Defense Council’s new study on contaminants in bottled water. While most bottled water is okay, says NDRC attorney Eric Olson, some brands may present threats to vulnerable subpopulations because they contain microbial contaminants. According to the report, bottled water consumption has tripled in ten years, with sales reaching $4 billion annually. Yet, bottled water is required to meet standards that are different than those for tap water.

Bottled water quality is regulated by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while drinking water systems follow State and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Carbonated water is exempt from bottled water standards, says the report. Instead, it is regulated under general sanitation rules.

Tap Water

Regulated by EPA
Bottled Water

Regulated by FDA

Cannot have confirmed E. coli or fecal Coliform bacteria.
A certain amount of any bacteria is allowed.

Filtered and/or disinfected
No federal filtration or disinfection requirements.

Violation of drinking water standards are grounds for enforcement.
Bottled water in violation of standards can still be sold.

Utilities must have their water tested by certified labs.
Such testing is not required for bottlers.

Tap water results must be reported to state or federal officials.
There are no reporting requirements for bottlers.

Water system operators must be certified.
Bottled water plant operators do not have to be certified.

Water suppliers must issue consumer confidence reports annually.
There are no public right-to-know requirements for bottlers.

Costs pennies a day
Costs $.80 to $4.00 per gallon.

Contains essential nutrients for the body such as calcium and iron.
Natural minerals are removes by filtration.

Chlorine residual in water to prevent bacteria growth.
No disinfectant present to kill bacteria in bottles.

We suggest that you take an empty water bottle or your favorite sports bottle, rinse it thoroughly and fill it with tap water. If you object to the chlorine taste, just keep the bottle in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. The chlorine taste will dissipate.

fake charity anifraud @ 06/23/2009 at 8:52 pm

Anyone who believes Anifraud cares about charity is fooling themselves. This woman does whatever her PR guru’s tell her to do for publicity and nothing more. If she was so charitable with her money and not old crap out of her home or signed shirts, trust me it would be all over the news. Because charitable organizations use popular public persona’s to bring attention to their cause. Why? So we the ordinary folks are aware of such charity and hopeful we will donate to their cause because our favorite celebrity did.

To all you who claims Aniston is private with her donations are fools. If Aniston write a check for anything over $1k (example Pres. Obama’s campaign) it would be news, because she is the ex of an A-lister whom the media is still unfornately connecting them together. It would be big business for them. Just like Jolie-Pitt when they make a donation it is announced because the charity knows any mention of them brings awareness. The Jolie-Pitts don’t need to boast about their charitable contributions they are doing what they should be doing bringing awareness through their celebrity.

Unfortunately, Aniston does not do that. She uses charity when it benefits her. When her name is falling off the chart, promoting a movie/boyfriend or Brad or Angelina do something, her PR team is trying to (but always fail miserably) top it. For her & her PR folks it is a competition because keeping her connected with her ex and the made up scadal going is what is keeping Rachel Green alive.

Her fans are the ones that seems to be continuously duped by this woman and her expensive PR folks.

this is a funny post Happynow, ummm, did you forget she DOESNT have a KID?!!!!!! hahahaha

anyway, you cannot bash Angie and Brad selling their children’s photos, and Jen i think said something bad about that as well, she kinda put her foot in her mouth, because her best friend, Sheryl Crow sold her son’s photo as well for charity.

please, with technology these days, new parents are posting pictures of their babies left and right, at least the Pitt’s were able to help millions of people. I am sure their kids someday will feel honored. i would be grateful if they were my parents for donating on my account.

Every thing Aniston does is for pr reasons. She is desperate because because her last movie flopped. So they are stepping up their pr game. Even pulling the fake boyfriend game again. Aniston has no shame any more. The media know what she is up to still she pull these stinking pr cr@p trick any way.
Oh and by the way Jen forgot to put on her fake push-up bra so her tata’s can fall out.

The Goddess circle @ 06/23/2009 at 9:02 pm

1. Isn’t bottled water safer than tap water?

No, not necessarily. NRDC conducted a four-year review of the bottled water industry and the safety standards that govern it, including a comparison of national bottled water rules with national tap water rules, and independent testing of over 1,000 bottles of water. Our conclusion is that there is no assurance that just because water comes out of a bottle it is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap. And in fact, an estimated 25 percent or more of bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle — sometimes further treated, sometimes not.

2. Is bottled water actually unsafe?

Most bottled water appears to be safe. Of the bottles we tested, the majority proved to be high quality and relatively free of contaminants. The quality of some brands was spotty, however, and such products may pose a health risk, primarily for people with weakened immune systems (such as the frail elderly, some infants, transplant and cancer patients, or people with HIV/AIDS). About 22 percent of the brands we tested contained, in at least one sample, chemical contaminants at levels above strict state health limits. If consumed over a long period of time, some of these contaminants could cause cancer or other health problems.

3. Could the plastic in water bottles pose a health risk?

Recent research suggests that there could be cause for concern, and that the issue should be studied closely. Studies have shown that chemicals called phthalates, which are known to disrupt testosterone and other hormones, can leach into bottled water over time. One study found that water that had been stored for 10 weeks in plastic and in glass bottles contained phthalates, suggesting that the chemicals could be coming from the plastic cap or liner. Although there are regulatory standards limiting phthalates in tap water, there are no legal limits for phthalates in bottled water — the bottled water industry waged a successful campaign opposing the FDA proposal to set a legal limit for these chemicals.

Concerned about the environment?
Sign up for our monthly newsletter and find out what you can do.

See the latest issue

4. How can I find out where my bottled water comes from?

A few state bottled water programs (e.g., Massachusetts and New York) maintain lists of the sources of bottled water, but many do not. Try calling or writing the bottler to ask what the source is, or call the bottled water program in your state or the state in which the water was bottled to see if they have a record of the source (your state’s health or agriculture department is most likely to run the bottled water program). If you choose to buy bottled water and are concerned about its safety, buy brands with a known protected source and ones that make readily available testing and treatment information that shows high water quality.

5. How can I determine if bottled water is really just tap water?

Often it’s not easy. First, carefully check the bottle label and even the cap — if it says “from a municipal source” or “from a community water system” this means it’s derived from tap water. Again, you can call the bottler, or the bottled water program in your state or the state where it was packaged.

6. What actions can I take to improve bottled water safety?

Write to your members of Congress, the FDA, and your governor (see below for contact information) and urge them to adopt strict requirements for bottled water safety, labeling, and public disclosure. Specifically, point out to these officials that they should:
set strict limits for contaminants of concern in bottled water, including arsenic, heterotrophic-plate-count bacteria, E. coli and other parasites and pathogens, and synthetic organic chemicals such as “phthalates”;

apply the rules to all bottled water whether carbonated or not and whether sold intrastate or interstate; and

require bottlers to display information on their labels about the levels of contaminants of concern found in the water, the water’s exact source, how it’s been treated, and whether it meets health criteria set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control for killing parasites like cryptosporidium.

Members of Congress and governors should also pass legislation providing the resources for the FDA and state regulators to actually enforce the law.

To take further action, you can encourage your bottlers and the International Bottled Water Association (a trade organization that includes about 85 percent of water bottlers) to voluntarily make labeling disclosures such as those above.

7. How does drinking bottled water affect the environment?

In 2006, the equivalent of 2 billion half-liter bottles of water were shipped to U.S. ports, creating thousands of tons of global warming pollution and other air pollution. In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution.

And while the bottles come from far away, most of them end up close to home — in a landfill. Most bottled water comes in recyclable PET plastic bottles, but only about 13 percent of the bottles we use get recycled. In 2005, 2 million tons of plastic water bottles ended up clogging landfills instead of getting recycled.

8. If I drink tap water should I use a filter and what types of filters are most effective?

The real long-term solution is to make tap water safe for everyone. However, if you know you have a tap water quality or taste problem, or want to take extra precautions, you should purchase filters certified by NSF International (800 NSF-MARK). These filters designate which contaminants they remove, and you can look for one that removes any contaminants of special concern such as cryptosporidium. Such certification is not necessarily a safety guarantee, but it is better than no certification at all. It is critically important that all filters be maintained and replaced at least as often as recommended by the manufacturer, or they might make the problem worse. See our guide to water filters for more information.

9. How can I obtain test results on my tap water?

Under new “right-to-know” provisions in the drinking water law, all tap water suppliers must provide annual water quality reports to their customers. To obtain a copy, call your water provider (the one that sends your water bills).

You also can test your water yourself, though this can be expensive. There are state-certified drinking water laboratories in virtually every state that can test your water. Call your state drinking water program or the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800 426-4791) for a list of contacts. Standard consumer test packages are available through large commercial labs at a relatively reasonable price.

Quote: Really? Then how come all her men keep dumping her?
.
Could it be that she is also a very shallow woman? A very vain woman (blowing $50 K on a hair stylist)? A very narcissistic woman? A very self-centered woman? A very self-involved woman? A very boring woman?

1. She dumped Brad.
2. She dumped Vince.
3. She dumped Paul Sculfor.
4. She dumped John Mayer the 2nd time around.

And the 50 thousand dollars she paid was for Chris McMillan’s airfare, hotels, meals and to do her hair for the European junket of Marlery and Me.

Is that why she is narcisstic and vain?

And no one knows how much Jennifer donates because she has gone on record saying that’s it no one’s business. And I agree, unless you want the publicity. I donate money but it’s my business what I donate and not yours. And if you don’t think Jennifer, with her wealth, doesn’t donate huge sums to St Jude etc etc, and you call her selfish, my question to you is, Do You Know her Personally?

Current Trends and Environmental Issues

Sales of bottled water have increased dramatically in the last few years despite the similar safety and much lower cost of tap water. There is a great deal of debate about whether this is due to misinformation about tap water safety, the effects of advertising, or simply consumer preferences based on taste or convenience. Bottled water is advertised as being very “convenient” but most people already have tap water delivered around the clock to their homes and workplaces, which is another form of convenience. Much attention is being paid in the recent news to the economic, energy, and environmental costs of making bottles, withdrawing water from the environment, bottling the water, transporting it, advertising it, and recycling or disposing of bottles.

The Goddess circle @ 06/23/2009 at 9:12 pm

If other celebrities are grilled and scrunitized for the charities they support or the causes they represent, then someone should ask Aniston about her PROMOTING BOTTLED WATER. Leonardo deCaprio, Brad Pitt, et al are questioned about their environmental causes. In the same token, I’d like her to defend THIS latest PR STUNT. She’s not even donating her own money. She should be matching - that’s the least she can do with the adverse effects of the bottled water industry to the environment.

Thank you for pointing that out. I thought you are fan. Sorry.

NO respect for this woman .nothing she does is genuine.. is all for the benefit of herself to remain in the spot light.

Normally, i’m in favor of celebs (or anyone for that matter) giving to charity because it’s a great thing, but this just seems so calculated on Jennifer’s part. I don’t feel that she’s being genuine at all. The least she could do is match the money of $1m but I suppose she’d rather spend that money on her hair and yoga instructions. She is such a vapid, shallow woman. No substance to her whatsover.

Oh and lol@ the jen fan who said that jennifer is the one who dumped brad. It’s so hillarious to me when JA fans say that because Brad is really the one who dumped her in reality. She may have filed the divorce paper, but he checked out of the relationship long ago and left Aniston in the dust way before that. He was in love with Jolie before they even divorced, so she had no choice but to divorce him. Brad was just being nice by letting her file so she didn’t look like such a loser, but everyone knows the deal there. He checked out of that relationship long ago. You Jen fans need to get real already.

Where’s Brooks Barnes with this glaringly obvious media ploy by Aniston? Mr. Barnes, should write another article for the New York Times entitled: JENNIFER ANISTON’S CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED PR MOVE IN THE GUISE OF CHARITY BUT MORE PROFIT GANE FOR THE PRODUCT SHE ENDORSES.

So true! This is all a PR stunt. Aniston is much too shallow to ever really be interested in what goes on beyond her own little celeb world. She is too self involved for me to actually think she is being genuine.

BTW, is it me or is her chin actually getting bigger? It sure looks prominent in that pic! So unattractive. How anyone finds her pretty or *gag* beautiful from the neck up is a mystery to me.

You are either delusional or you are trying to rewrite history, whatever it is, it is very funny. So she dumped Brad, if that is case, why has she not moved on? Why is she tring to win him back? Why do you think her fans hate Angie so much and have carried out 5yr malicious campaign against her? You don’t dump someone and then go on national tv 5yrs after your divorce and declares to the world that you will continue to love that person till you die and after 6 lovers have DUMPED YOU. You also don’t keep on mentioning the guy’s name at every interview you give and at the expence of your current lover. You see, your theory don’t add up and I think you forgot JM dumping her was on record, because it was done on national tv and on the street of NY, tmz.com have it on their video archive..

How is she trying to win him back? That is so idiotic. When did she go on national TV after 5 years and decalre her that she will continue to love that person till she dies? She did say that in an interview when asked about her and Brad and she has that right because she was married to him. Both her and Brad have acknoledged their mutal love for each other. In interviews she only mentions Brad when she is asked the question. And when John Mayer called it quits with her on on record that was the first time they split. The second time she dumped him.

I’m saying no one knows if she did or didn’t. Jen has always said that making donations, to her, is a private matter. But to just spout out and say she’s not donating any of her money is wrong. Give the woman the benefit of the doubt. No one knows for a fact if she privately wrote out a check or not. But I’m sure Jen has donated her share of money over the years to St Jude’s Hospital and many other worthy charitable organizations.

I love that she gives her time and support and money to charities all within the United States.

@The Goddess circle: Thank you for posting that. I’ve been thinking all those things but wasn’t commenting about it. You are 100% correct. I don’t drink bottled water period and never really did. If I have to take some I use something reusable and I always take it as fresh out of the faucet as I can. Thanks for posting that. You’re absolutely spot on.

are you guys serious, like really debating someone’s charity work? any charity work is good. this ain’t a war…

why don’t you haters go out there and do something instead of sitting here and finding reasons to hate a person you don’t even know. pathetic.

What in the world was Brad thinking? Jen is such a sweet decent woman. Time will tell - Brad will come to his senses and go back to his wife. xoxo Jen.

@You/Me:
Read the following dated October 2008. Notice that :–
1) Jen went to an elementary school to pimp her “dumb water”
2) She must be very late, hence the principle gave her a lecture.
3) She didnt even pass out any water bottles. This is how CHEAP she is.
article below
In between imprudently snuggling up with an ex-boyfriend who even her pals reportedly think will have moved on by Christmas, Aniston squeezed in a visit to a Los Angeles school for a meet-and-greet with students.
Alas, it seems her speaking engagement at Cahuenga Elementary School on Thursday may have been more promotional than inspirational.
People reports Aniston’s hourlong appearance at an after-school program involved answering questions about water, a subject she’s well-paid to know something about. She shills for Smartwater and was photographed with a bottle of the refreshing H2O in her hand as she arrived at the event.
`
“She talked about water things,” an assistant superintendent at the Los Angeles Unified School District informs the magazine. “She talked to the students about water nutrition and why it’s so important for all of us.”
`
It turns out the A-lister’s visit wasn’t without a detention-warranting offense. She was chastised by the school’s principal for showing up a little late for the presentation.
“As a school principal I need to tell you that you cannot keep our children waiting!” he told the star, prompting her to respond, “I understand! I got that message from my principal when I was going to school, too!”

Well, let’s see. It was announced that she gave $1K to the Kerry campaign. It was on national TV when she added to the Oprah Big winner. She supported various charities by sporting t-shirts, going to fashion shows, galas, dinner, etc. Remember, there is support and there is financial support.

The issue here is not whether she gave privately or announced it to the public but my stance is this is some sort of contractual misrepresentation on her part as the spokesperson for a product as well as the bottling company. She has a VESTED INTEREST as a shareholder of the company who’s manufacturing the product she’s promoting.

My contention is that, she’s selling a product with an added enticement that if you buy a bottle of Smartwater (a sales contract between buyer and seller) you will be giving 5cents to charity. It sounds good advertising isn’t it? But does their target market realize how much they’re (Glaceau) profiting from it? And that it’s just really tap water in a fancy water bottle promoted by Aniston? Does the target market realizes or were made aware of the cons in plastic bottles – that goes against the grains of water and sustainability programs? Sad thing is, unlike cigarettes packs which comes with the warning that smoking is dangerous to your health, bottled water labels do not have warnings, that its dangerous to the environment.

ManLESSton, I likely @ 06/23/2009 at 11:25 pm

I would have more respect for her efforts with this charity if she had handed the charity a check, not promoted their (hers) product when her hand is in the company pocket. I have to agree that $0.05 per bottle will not dent the profit margin on this. Maybe she should use some better judgement next time.

*
*Google founders announced that they will put $US1 billion in seed money into a philanthropic venture to fight poverty, disease and global warming

Large donations are announced under the premise, that it will encourage others to give and to create awareness for the beneficiary and for the cause.

5 cents of each bottle sold will go directly to Action for Healthy Kids, with a minimum donation of $1 million.

I’m going to say this one more time, ellie, and then I am done with this topic.
.
Aniston is not donating a dime of her own money to this charity. Smartwater is donating five cents of THEIR money for every bottle they sell to this charity. Aniston is donating NOTHING.
.
You can bet your bottom dollar that at the same time Smartwater is donating five cents on every bottle they sell to the charity, they are also paying a percentage of every bottle they sell to Aniston.
.
Again, Aniston is donating NOTHING to this charity.
.
If you are so stupid you cannot read and understand a simple paragraph, then you are completely beyond help.

May be Jen donated money here and there: few thousands to a few charities (including giving away money on Oprah’s live TV show), may be it added up to $100K or may be $200K, plus the donated purses, vests, etc. However, her networth estimates by Forbes is over $100 mil while Angelina is less than $50 mil. Angelina has less than 1/2 of Aniston’s networth, but her donation (not including Pitt) is much more than Jen, could be 10 times more, not including the time & effort she put into the causes she supports including writing articles for various respectable magazines, travelling to dangerous places. There is just no comparison. Jen is trying to do good, then good for her. But it’s just pathetic that her fans trying to put her on pedestal while putting Angelina down.

Well no one and I speak for myself, is saying the donation is fake. Smartwater said it will donate 5cents per bottle, they did not categorically say she’s matching their donation. But the ambiguity of this promotional or advertising concept (you buy Smartwater, you give to charity) used is questionable in an era where a sustainable environment is a critical issue.

*
And what we are talking about here is tantamount to making a fool of the consumers and making a sale under the guise of charity giving as the main component of their promotional tool.

*
Much has change in the act of giving we now have philanthropic advisers, philanthropic investment management teams, etc. So there’s a movement for giving wisely. Whether you give 5cents or $1M, you as the giver should check where your money is going (legitimate and track record) and that it will be used wisely.

@The Goddess circle: Personally a few years ago I donated a handsome sum (to me) along with a few other people through an organization to put clean water drinking wells in some poor countries. That was very satisfying and 100% of the money was used directly on putting the wells in. I think I’ll skip the little 5 cent thingy with plastic bottles ;)

That’s great of you and your friends. Your donation had direct impact on the beneficiary.

I’m specially concerned about the water issue because H2O is a precious commodity that should be accessible to everyone - and by accessibility I mean clean water. It’s distribution should be at cost with no or little profit from it. It just galls me that a bottling company is making such a huge profit margin out of water.

Peter Parker @ 06/24/2009 at 1:45 am

If you’re donating time and money to a charity when you don’t have to be, your philanthropy should be taken seriously as much as the next person, #96. There’s no point in comparing.

We still use cost-effective and reusable plastic bottles and bags for many things, #98.

There’s a market to be had with bottled water and you can’t blame anyone for jumping on that, #99. People should but they don’t drink tap water and even if they did, they;d be using plastic thermos and bottles anyway.

A person that’s all those things you’ve attributed to her wouldn’t be endorsing a charity.

Since when was the legal and respectable accumulation of wealth a bad thing, #101?

Don’t be a paranoid idiot, #105. Quit painting some competition between them.

Good point, #113.

I’m not exactly hiding, #117…

No Aniston fan has bashed Jolie here, #121. We’ve said nothing of the sort.

That’s moronic, #126.

Correct, #128.

You’re a very hateful person, #132.

Because she really cared, she donated her time and money at all, #133.

She IS doing charity work and it doesn’t matter why she’s doing this, #140. How many times do I have to say that? The people benefitting from charity don;t care about why anyone is helping them. They are all that matter in the end.

I’m pretty sure Aniston would never say something like that, #149.

What celebrities are scrutinized for charity, #156? Sometimes the Jolie-Pitts are by some idiots who claim that they should adopt from the U.S. but other than that, no one is criticized. And not by Aniston. Lave this poor woman alone already. She doesn’t want to match the donation and that’s her right.

It wouldn’t matter to the kids if she was being genuine at all, #159. She doesn’t want to match the donation and that’s her right.

It’s good to divorce when you’re no longer in love but couldn’t Pitt have waited till they separated to hook up with Jolie. He just cheated in his wife of several years with his co-star. Show some respect.

Only a few crazies put Jolie down, #201. They both should be praised for the charitable contributions.

Jen's fan @ 06/24/2009 at 1:56 am

At least Jennifer Aniston doesn’t have to sell pictures of innocent children and pretended to donate all proceeds when only a fraction is actually given. There is no Jennifer Aniston Foundation where she can play around with the assets obtained. When Jennifer get involved in charity she gives directly to the beneficiaty there is no middleman to swindle that donation. I love Jen and it so good that she is being less shy about her good heart. Jennifer doesn’t collect children to be raised by strangers and for that I truly admire her. I’d rather have none than a dozen if I’m not planing to be around and plainly leaving them to be raised by total strangers. Worst of all, if she has a partner with millions in their pockets. It is totally unforgivable and irresponsible. Jennifer is the best and Brad Pitt, the chameleon knows it well.

I hardly think encouraging people to create more pollution and garbage by increasing demand for PLASTIC is creating a ‘healthy’ anything. Telling people to pay for what is essentially, and been proven in tests, tap water in plastic packaging is a step backward; for our children’s health and the planet. There is nothing ’smart’ about encouraging increased plastic manufacturing and there is nothing ’smart’ about paying for water.

@Jen’s fan: Still DESPERATELY comparing Jen to Angelina, I see. Get over this triangle. At least Angelina doesn’t need to sell her body on a magazine to sell a CHILDREN’S movie, like a pedophilic sl.t. Angelina is a wonderful giving person who donates ALL proceeds, as she gave her word, to charities and adopts children, not ‘collects’ them as you so viciously and redneck ignorantly say, to give them a better life. The only better life Jen gives, is to herself. Jen is trash, and will always be trash, like it or not. And if you weren’t so unsure about what you say about Jen, so inferior about your opinion on whats right, you wouldn’t keep NEEDING to compare Jen to anyone, to make her look half-way decent by comparison. She’d stand on her own. Yet the ONLY way you can try to make her look good, is by comparing her to Angelina and Brad, both decent and honorable people. Honey, Jen is superficial, shallow and pedophilic sl.u.tty garbage. Always has been, always will be. She will never even be fit to lick Angelina’s boots.

@Cassie:

Obviously you are an ignorant. Bottled water was created for its convinience and safety. When you’re on the go, there is nothing more pleasant than to carry your own bottle especially during a hot summer day! Plastic bottles are reclycled , you idiot.

Aniston fans, it’s fine if you want to give props to your girl, but don’t start dissing Angelina and Brad for all the good work they do!!! It just makes you all look very stupid and shallow. Brad and Angelina publicizing their humanitarian efforts is a good thing anyway because it brings more attention to the plight in those countries and more attention to the charities they are involved with. There is no way they are doing it just for some publicity. No one in their right mind would set up countless foundations, travel from country to country to visit the poor and underprivileged and become a UN ambassador all for publicity. Don’t be stupid. Just because Aniston is shallow and does these things for PR purposes, doesn’t mean Angelina and Brad do. Angelina and Brad actually care. Jennifer is nothing compared to them and you guys know it! That’s why you try to downplay all the good work Brangelina does in order to make your vapid idol look good.

At least Brangelina donate their OWN money and spend time with people of different cultures, many of whom are struggling and that’s a HELL of a lot more than I can say for Aniston. Compared to Brad & Angie, she doesn’t do anything. They make that shallow woman look even more pathetic then she is. You can just tell when people are genuine about the work they do-Angie and Brad are passionate about their humanitarian efforts-they adopted children from other countries for one on top of all the charity work they do. They are cultured well traveled people. Jennifer Aniston on the other hand is an aging, shallow hag who is content in living in her LILLY WHITE WORLD. She has nothing going for her which is why most of the comments about Jennifer Aniston from her fans mostly focus on her looks.

It’s always “Aww look how amazing Jen looks..what a great body, such great hair, so pretty” etc. all shallow bulls*it. There’s nothing really interesting to say about her character. All she does is make boring movies, shop, tan, smoke, do yoga and hang out with Courtney Cox. Ever heard this woman speak?! Not one intelligent thing comes out of her mouth. She still speaks like a teenager. Yeah, what an admirable woman. No wonder Brad left her boring, shallow, vapid ass. He must have gotten tired of that vain, self serving lifestyle. As far as lifestyle and charity goes, again Jennifer is NOTHING compared to Angelina and Brad. Angelina is a REAL woman. Jennifer still acts like she’s in her 20’s. A pathetic woman really with an even more pathetic fanbase.

@Jen’s fan: Obviously, you are a lying ignorant moron. A super sipper with refilled water is all that is needed, not BUYING bottles of water. Plastic needs to be PRODUCED FIRST, in order to be recycled. Not all of the byproducts can be recycled. Instead of recommending people keep ONE personal water bottle that is refilled, this slimy b.i.t.c.h is advocating POLLUTING the environment. Its bad enough that you are so snowed by this fake slimy b.i.t.c.h, but to make EXCUSES for her promoting increased global warming and increasing our carbon footprints, shows you are a blind Loonifer who will defend ANYTHING she does, even when the EVIDENCE clearly shows she is being irresponsible. Wake up to yourself, you vapid insipid gullible fool!!

Wow! Such righteous indignation and throwing accusations as if they are proven fact. When the subject matter is as serious as philanthropy and charitable foundations, fraud, the SEC and the IRS, what you’re freely spouting is dangerous.
*
I want you to report this to the IRS and give us FEEDBACK if they find irregularities in the transactions of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. If you think setting up a PRIVATE Foundation is as easy as writing a check to a public charity you are simply WRONG. Setting up a private foundations signals the fact that you are serious in your philanthropy and that you will be subjected to regulating agencies. For your info, there are rules limiting the deductibility of a charitable contribution in a particular tax year. Private foundations don’t enjoy as much tax benefits as public charities and are subject to various restrictions (administrative) that do not apply to other charitable gifting techniques. There’s even prohibition on some transactions and there’s a 2% excise tax on investment income and can get 1% if distribution requirements were met.

For example, gifts of cash to a public charity are deductible up to 50% of the donor’s adjusted gross income (AGI). By comparison, gifts of cash or unappreciated assets to a private foundation had been limited to 30% of AGI. Hence, with an AGI of $500,000, a donor could claim an income tax deduction for $150,000 to a private foundation.

*
FACT: Bill O’Reilly who was skeptical and who was one of her biggest critics said Jolie is the real thing (talking about her philanthropy, the amount of her donations) when they had her investigated if she does what she said she does.
*
How dismissive of who you to equate adoption as “collecting”. I hope you don’t have children to pass on such narrow-minded mindset.
*
And I can’t take someone seriously, expecting a public apology from a supposed wrong created by the media and a well-orchestrated PR extravaganza.

*
I’d rather take the words of former UN Secretary General Koffi Annan:

“Angelina is painfully shy, but that she puts that aside to DO and GO places other people wouldn’t dream of, to ride for days without benefit of a warm shower or the necessities most women need in their daily lives on a jeep or the back of a motorcycle to areas hard hit by both natural and political issues, makes Angelina a rare find. Someone who actually cares about what she does without calling attention to herself.” He said further: “There is plenty of work which people do not know Angelina does that will never go appreciated because she simply does not want the praise. But she should be praised. She should be given the proper credit for doing what she does because she is an honest, authentic human being who truly does care.”

Again the issue here is not wether Jolie or Pitt is authentic in their giving. My issue is that, is Aniston giving wisely and promoting giving wisely by aligning herself with the promotion of an expensive bottled water which use charity to entice the consumers to buy and made a HUGE profit margin out of it?

Ask yourself that question?

@autumn M: You are so right. These bimbo Loonifers would defend Jen no matter WHAT she does. She advocates polluting the environment, they support it. If she advocated shooting dogs, I have no doubt they’d concoct SOME sort of excuse to defend her. No, I’m serious! If she advocated it, I have NO doubt her fans would, too. These shallow redneck starry-eyed Looniferites are so SNOWED by her, that they don’t even have the moral fortitude to ADMIT that what she is doing with this water thing, is WRONG! Take Jen’s fan’s post above. That post, should be a sticky to symbolize the moronic behavior that is standard in all Loonifers. Make it a sticky, rub their faces in it and never let them forget that that is the mentality of these shallow gullible fawning fools. Never, would I EVER, *EVER* expect anyone to come right out and say that selling water in disposable plastic bottles is actually a ‘good’ thing. Yet Jen’s fan has broken the record for all time moronic things these bimbo Jen fans say. That post is a keeper. These starry-eyed non-thinking backward fools are so shallow and so blinkered in their adoration of this woman that they will advocate sheer idiocy, environmental vandalism and bald-faced LYING to defend this woman that has them blinkered. They are so desperate, that they will go as far as supporting the unsupportable and completely nonsensical, just to be seen as supporting her. What sort of mindless fool ignores common sense and actually lies, that it is a good thing? When you are that far gone, that you sell all common sense and your soul, you have serious issues. This Jen’s fan is completely head-f.u.c.k.e.d. But, a reminder of just how far gone you need to be to be in the Cult of Jen.

itstrueagain @ 06/24/2009 at 5:18 am

Just be smart and don’t buy ‘the’ water. I guess they’ve got to dream up some way to sell the stuff. Anything she’s connected to immediately turns me off. I’d rather write the charity a check than buy some over-priced w-a-t-e-r for pete’s sake.

anonymous @ 06/24/2009 at 5:37 am

205, that’s pretty hateful to accuse a man of cheating on his wife. Why would any intelligent or decent person go there when all they can offer is rank specualtion? So wise up and lay off the defamation.
.
There’s charity and then there’s charity. The reality is that given her life style and resources Aniston is feeling the pressure to at least make it look like she is stepping up to the plate in some way. In the end, it just reeks of opportunism and more poor judgment on her part.
.
When and if Aniston was or ever is truly involved with a cause or charity in any substantial way then we would all know about it.

This is one of the most generouse woman in the whole world. She donates a lot of her money to hairdreses thath make her look alwasy like Rachel, yoga instructors, personals chefs, men without work who pose like a boyfriends, blogers that post lines like ‘SHE IS SO HOT, THE BEST BODY IN HOLLYWOOD, and anyother stupid line.” covers of magazines and interviews where they portray her like the imaginary sweet girl door that only lives in her mind, assistences that look carerfully what ANGIE is wearing and doing so she can copies Angie to the most minimal detail, doctors and nurses from plastic surgeries cliniques, but especially a big part of her generosity goes to BOTOX.
Just thing if she were nos so generouse all th

Just think if she were not so generouse all this poor people will be without work and you would not. like that .
And well some times trying of impreses paople and then she trows some pennies to charitable organisations a few days after ANGELINA has done such a good and important things with the United Nations.
At the end she will look like a desperated and pathetic copy cat of ANGELINA.

Smart water put this out. Jen I’m sure feels its personal and sacred of what she puts out of donations, its personal and meaningless to me if she were to brag.

keep on good work my girl!!!

————————————————
Are you as stupid as you sound? And you CAN’T compare Jen’s contributions because you can’t find any record of them. I’m not talking about her publicity donations/appearances. I am talking about actual records of donations which every non-profit organization MUST publish in public record in this country to operate as a non-profit organization. You Jenhens are so stupid. You feel the only mileage you can get is to pull the pity card of poor Jen was dumped. As for what the Jolie-Pitts are doing, they are not attaching their name to a personal project where they are making money on the back-end as a stockholder and promoting it as caring. Why doesn’t Jen give up her portion of her profit then? That would garner some respect. As so eloquently stated before, “Can you really call it charity when you are profiting from it?” Wake up and smell reality!

ManLESSton, I likely @ 06/24/2009 at 10:42 am

@ellie’: Ellie the twit is back in force I see. “…personal and sacred of what she puts out of donations…” She can’t even go to dinner without her PR allerting the paps. Ellie, one thing for sure, Jen and her people are trying to keep her relevant during a time when the public is more aware of what is needed and what is “smart” for charity and the planet. They just really missed the bullseye on this one.

If you read these vile posts against Jolie-Pitts by Aniston’s fans, it’s clear why I started to loath this Aniston woman so much. I have never never cared for her, never seen her sitcoms, barely knew her name until she started to spew hate on Brad and Angelina. She attracts the bottom of the bottom of women, the anti-role model of all girls. Angelina had a troubled youth, but she GREW UP, TURNED HER LIFE AROUND. Aniston fans are women who are afraid to grow as a person, who are afraid to see through the truth about themselves. I so wish my daughter will never, ever become a pathetic example of a woman, like Jennifer Aniston.

One of the many things she does for others xD

my mom was like, oh hell no. @ 06/24/2009 at 7:46 pm

Considering the rapid climbing rate of diabetics in the US, I support ANYTHING that is going to help raise awareness about eating better and being healthy. I don’t give a damn who the spokesperson or if I like her or not. FYI, I dont have a problem with aniston. I dont spend my time hating people I dont even know lollllll

americassweetie @ 06/25/2009 at 5:08 pm

Beautiful and classy! America will always love Jen best!

@Besane: She doesn’t care any bit about kids nor charity. This is for her PR.
Angie has used her children as PR right from the start- and SOLD them to fund her so called charities that provides her with glamour and even MORE PR. …this bubble will not even burst but EXPLODE!!!! I cant wait for those kids to grow up and call their mommy crazy!! and people like you applaude!!!

@sandy: How do you make these afirmatives with so much sure? I’ve always got impressed with this kind of comments, so full of judges, about a person they even know. That’s funny, to not say crazy. I feel very bad for all these people that can’t keep their minds open. It’s quite sad. If you try to get better informed, you would know how many causes Jen supports, not that means anything, cause, of course, from more than a decade she supports kids with cancer just because it’s good for her image. Not because she is kind and have a good heart. Why that seems so impossible to you? Why do you prefer always think the worst? I really don’t get it: why so many effort to distorce the things?

Sorry, Sandy, my comment was not for you. My mistake.

@lara: wow. and you call her a *****. jealousy is a nasty thing.

what difference does it make if her charity work is known or unknown by the public? All that matters is that she is doing what she can for the community, unlike some people who are only able to hate. How many of you people are volunteering or doing anything to better the community? I highly doubt 10% of the posters here have ever volunteered. so she’s being recognized for ONE of the events she supports, she deserves so much more recognition but doesn’t get it.
