Jennifer Aniston: The Rachel Was 'Ugliest Haircut I've Ever Seen'

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 18th 2011 10:50AM

Jennifer Aniston has a famous head of hair -- but you'd be surprised at what she thinks of her most copied coif.

"Have there been disasters? I think that's a very relative term with hair. Let's say there have been moments I'd rather not relive, like that whole Rachel thing," she tells Allure of the 'Friends' 'do that started it all.

"I love Chris [McMillan, her hairstylist], and he's the bane of my existence at the same time because he started that damn Rachel, which was not my best look. How do I say this? I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen. What I really want to know is, how did that thing have legs? Let's just say I'm not a fan of short, layered cuts on me personally, so I don't love revisiting that particular era," she adds.

The A-lister also has another well known asset: her bikini bod. And she works hard to keep it in shape.

"My stomach is not my hardest [challenge] -- my derriere is much more my challenge," she explains.

Her past few roles: "I didn't wear mascara in 'Just Go With It.' It's fun to transform a little bit -- what did I have to lose? I was ready to be silly and go with a full-out comedy, and it was the first time I felt truly sure about what I was walking into. Because with the last couple of movies, I wasn't completely sure, and I should have probably trusted my gut. For whatever reason, they all happen the way they're supposed to."

She's a goofball: "I'm actually comfortable in goofdom. Not taking myself seriously is one of my favorite things to do, because I don't. Ever."

Her bartending skills: "I can make two drinks really well: a dirty martini and a Bloody Mary. People are like, 'You make the best Bloody Marys,' and my secret ingredient is basically Mr. and Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix. It's not some fancy mix that they do with the horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. It's the 7-Eleven of Bloody Marys. It's the trashiest."

Back in the days of 'Friends': "Look at Baby George. Baby Clooney. 'ER' was right next door to us on the soundstage. That was really fun. I remember when we used to do crossovers like that. See, NBC used to be really cool. Then, you know..."

On dogs: "Really, the most unconditional form of love that you can encounter is with a dog. They're excited the minute you come home, and they show the same amount of excitement every day."

Being a good host: "I should have been a party planner. I'm a good mixologist in terms of personality types. I do a tree trimming party every year -- 15 years I've been doing this. At my tree-trimming party we always do chili: turkey, regular beef and vegetarian. Everybody is satisfied. What ruins a party? A really drunk person. Trust me. It's happened."

She doesn't understand 'The Bachelor': "You know what I find fascinating? 'The Bachelor.' I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they're weeping as though they've just lost the love of their life. I don't understand that."

I know this article is quoting from Allure, but this is just one more reason I think this woman is incredibly shallow and dull.

Huh? Why? Because she answered some questions?? God forbid anyone ever overhear any of my inane conversations....

By Drew

I met Jennifer Anniston a few years ago on a publicity junket--you could not find a more kind, funny and REAL person in all of Hollywood. I can't stand how the general public rips someone down without knowing them--it reeks of jealousy and bitterness. Unfortunately for you, Jen is a lovely, sweet girl and even more beautiful in person.

By Gail

Sue, your statement doesn't make any sense. What is the reason you speak of? Because she was in Allure? Apparently, it doesn't take much for you. I feel sorry for your friends.

By Kathy

She sounds intelligent and like a nice person. You do not. Who put the bee in your bonnet?

By Anne

Jennifer is a lovely young woman. I do not think she is shallow at all.

She is not as obnoxious and attention seeking as Jessica Simpson but damn close. People need to worry more about their own lives and less about what vapid and shallow Hollywood celebrities eat, wear,and do. We would be a better society for it.

By msytn

What a stupid thing to say. Most likely she was answering question she was GIVEN, not making inane conversation. If you blame anyone, blame ALLURE.

I so agree with you Sue. And her movies are terrible and I am tired of hearing about her all over the media. Who gives a care about her and her loser dating life? Cry me a river, Brand left her for another woman...If she were so great, why did he leave her? And for her to say that the 'Rachel' hair-do is the ugliest hair cut ever is just plain awful as this is one of the most copied hair cuts ever. I think she has a very unattractive face but pretty hair...

By LaDiva

She looks great. And I find it funny that someone can categorize her as "shallow and dull" after reading an article on Allure. This is a woman that you know nothing about but will tear to shreds all the same. Forgive me if 'Saint Angelina' has entirely big horns for me to swallow.

By CHAS

I NEVER NEW SHE HAD EVER CHANGED ANYTHING ABOUT HER FROM HER RACHEL LOOK, SHE STILL LOOKS JUST LIKE THAT PERSON AND SHE HAS BEEN THAT SAME PERSON IN EVER MOVIE SHE HAS MADE...SHE IS RACHEL, DUH!

@ CHAS

Her hair color is alot lighter from her days of "Friends"....
Now as far as her movies, hey she's getting paid money... So if I was getting paid the way she was for playing the 'same' characters, I'd say "bring it on"....

By Anna

that does not even look like her....the cover is soooooo photoshopped

By Heartbreak Kid

jealous......

By leilani bennet

you are sooo right, this picture doesn't even look like her. It's photoshopped.

By just saying

Yeah, The picture must have had her question whether that was her or not. The photoshop person gets two thumbs up because she is pretty but she looks ten times prettier on the cover.

I totally agree...I'm still not sure that's even her

By Cin

So true. It doesn't even look like her. She's cute, not "pretty".

By DORAHELEN

I THANK THE LORD ABOVE THAT AT LAST J. ANNISTON IS HAPPY!! ALSO, HASN'T SHE CHANGED HER "NOSE" AGAIN...SHE HAS A PLASTIC LOOK NOW...!! MAYBE NOW THAT SHE IS SO HAPPY WITH HER "BODY" SHE CAN AT LAST "MAKE A DECENT MOVIE" - ONCE A RACHEL - ALWAYS A RACHEL....GIVE ME A BREAK.........

By Mike

Her movies suck, yet they just keep throwing money at her. Much like Affleck.
