Jennifer Aniston's Ball-and-Chain: Her Past
Pop-Ed: Chances are, if you pick up a tabloid or go to a gossip site on any given day, you'll likely plant your eyes on some sort of item about
Jennifer Aniston. Whether it's about her singledom or past romances, publications will do pretty much anything to get Jen in their magazine. Take, for example, Jen's involvement in the cover story in the March issue of Architectual Digest. It's simply a feature where the much-loved actress shows off her home, right? Nope. Apparently, according to
Us Magazine, it was a "pathetic" attempt to get back at Brad Pitt. Really? If that's Jen's idea of revenge, she's quite terrible at plotting.
What we're getting at here is that no matter what Jen does, she somehow finds herself with tertiary headlines claiming it was somehow related to her love life or a ploy to amp up publicity for a movie.
In response to Jen's recent cover, Brad Pitt -- so says anonymous Us sources -- "feels this is all so desperate" and that it was all Jen's "ploy to get his attention." Yes, we're sure Brad Pitt, in between being a father to his six children, juggling a vastly successful movie career and going far and beyond with his charity work, is all bent about Jen's motives for showing off her fancy house. (Watch the Us report below)
Since her divorce from Pitt in 2005, Aniston has been nothing but classy in dealing with the ramifications of the massive split. Consider the current landscape with Jesse James, Tiger Woods and others. It was pretty obvious at the time that Brad and Angelina were the spark plug for Aniston's divorce. They even later admitted to shacking up while filming 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' -- which was shot while Jen and Brad were still married.
Even when Jen posed naked -- covered only by a perfectly-placed necktie -- in GQ magazine, a lot of the attention came thanks to her quotes about Brad in the interview. "Jennifer Aniston Just Can't Button Up Over Brad Pitt," read a headline on the
Boston Herald. Yep, you read correctly. That's not from a questionable tabloid magazine, but a daily, major city newspaper.
Even this month,
one blog declared that Aniston "has yet to move away from Brad Pitt," claiming that they were "hugging and kissing" each other recently. Ya'hum.
Aniston's new directorial ambitions even somehow get lumped into her personal past. Blogger Perez Hilton -- who not-so-nicely refers to Jen as "Maniston" -- reported that she just signed on to direct a movie for the first time.
One sentence later: "Take that Angelina Jolie!"
And what of the reported relationship between Jen and her 'Bounty Hunter' co-star Gerard Butler? You know, the one that everyone speculated about but neither ever confirmed? Jen called the assertion that she'd fake a romance for attention "just insulting," but a Google search of "Jen Aniston Gerard Butler Dating" will yield you nearly 9 million results. (Full disclosure: PopEater is the first result ... with a question mark).
Will the Aniston dam ever break, and we'll all live in a world in which she can do anything -- whether it's direct a movie or just buy a pair of jeans -- without it being somehow attributed to her past marital woes? Sadly, it doesn't seem all that feasible.

I don't think Jen gets affected by any of what's said about her. She lives her life and is doing so brilliantly. She doesn't care about the past, she seems to care about her career. Even Brangie can't ruffle her because she doesn't care. She's probably happy that she isn't married with 6 kids. She sees things the opposite of the way the Brangies do, so she's probably laughing at them.

Brad really needs to get over himself. He is looking old and wore down. Jenn is still beautiful and he probably secretly still loves her. Brad you made your bed now lie in it without Jen
FINALLY!!! Finally an article written that speaks the truth: That Jen Aniston is NOT the one doing ANYTHING to get Brad's attention or to take a jab at Angie... She's JUST LIVING HER LIFE!!! Nothing more, nothing less, so if Brad, in fact, is calling her "pathetic" for having a spread in Architectural Digest, then "F" him! How is THAT a 'ploy to get him back'??? This article is right on! She's not doing anything wrong, nor is she trying to get his or anyone else's attention... She's gotten on with her life, and it's the MEDIA who won't leave her be... THEY are the ones twisting the headlines, like the one about her directing a movie ("take that, Angelina!") -- SHE NEVER SAID THAT, but the media made that headline up, and people will stupidly believe it's some sort of quote... Leave Jen alone! She's fine...
I think if you actually care about this nonsense you should be drafted to serve six months in Afghanistan, so you can learn a little perspective.
she looks like a young dustin hoffman in the face. brad seems to love manfaces, past and present. maybe he should go for the hideous manfaccia, jess simpson next. who bloody cares, moreover?
jen's has nothing. She certainly is not an actress, she is not a box office draw, and her only claim to fame was being married to Brad. It's time for this friend to give it a rest. I'm sick and tired seeing Jen's photo everywhere. Get a life!
Angie is the pathetic one since she had to go back on her vow to never have biological babies with brad. She had to give him the large brood he always said he wanted form the beginning of his marriage to jen, in 5 years time. She had to put up with his mom's friendship with Jen, when there was no reason since there were no grandchildren involved. Brad never put an end to his mom's friendship with Jen per Angies request, which is disrespectful and a slap in the face toward Angie. All the while Angie was grieving over her dead mom. This is what it takes to keep a man? Angie is pathetic and a doormat to boot. It's not like she's even being taken care of financially since she works just as hard as Brad and makes her own living. The bottom line is Angie has to, support herself, give him the large family including bio-babies in record time before he gets too old, put up with her mother in law who is still in touch with Jen, put up with Brad for allowing it. and all the while grieving her dead mom. If this is what it takes to keep a man, I'd rather jump off the nearest bridge. Now we are hearing stories from the tabloid that it's all fabrications that Brad didn't say anything about Jen. It's all just to sell their tabloid.
You are crazy... She is just Jen .

@louise levinson.....FACT. Jen was a box office draw on fiends prior to Brad. FACT. she is sill a box office draw, which is why producers cast her in their movies....Need I say more.
Jennifer Aniston is pathetic!

someone sounds a little bit jealous perhaps? sissy is pathetic and probably a dog.
I for one would love to be as pathetic as Jen, as I'm sure you would to Sissy.
u should know pathetic
Jennifer Aniston is pathetic!

I just don't get this woman's appeal. She is in every movie, but they all tank unless there is a dog or Vince Vaughan in them. She is the least attractive of the Friends women, but still gets all the Hollywood Hype as being beautiful?

I never thought she was attractive. She's very masculine and has always reminded me of Peppermint Patty from Peanuts.
I totally agree, I am so tired of Jen... In every movie she looks exactly the same, and acts the same.... what has she done with her fame, nothing! She drives me crazy LOL
Oh yeah, you can bet she did it out of spite. She's all about being *famous*. Like he said, "she could have cared less about archetecture when they were married & made fun of him"...Jen was good on Friends but she just isn't "movie material"...She's great
on TV but movie's...not so much...ala Shelly Long...It is kind of pathetic how she keeps "hanging on"...her ONLY claim to fame was Friends and just dating & then marrying a A-list Brad Pitt. You can even see this if you watch Friends episodes. Which BTW got ratings just BECAUSE she dated/married the man. I'm not saying Friends wasn't sucessful, but his *Star* power definately helped.
thanks for telling it like it is. They have saturated the market with her to the point of making us sick she has no talent and not any thing to speak of in any other way when given 25 men the question who do you think is the best looking on Friends they always say courtney cox thank you
She's got great t...........I mean, body shape.
