Jennifer Aniston: The Rachel Was 'Ugliest Haircut I've Ever Seen'
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 LOVE Jennifer Aniston, even though I never watched Friends but I love her movies except the horrible Bounty Hunter, that film was terrible but Jennifer is sexy as hell; she was great in The Good Girl.

i read in this one article that she was willing push the limit, was that all the limit she could go is not wear mascara, i would like to see her dirty digging into dirt, falling in water, getting hit having a screaming match with someone, that to me is pushing the limit for her. she gives the most stupid answers, she is limit.

you think, have you look at her at the super bowel please take a very good look at those crow feet thick and deep in fact you don't have to take a good look just look. you call that pretty you got issues like her if you think that is pretty.
OMG, that one pic of her with her boobs hanging out is HIDEOUS! She looks like some kind of woman-poodle hybrid. Stop drinking the kool-aid on this washed up hack!

Jennifer's hairstyle was a sensation in the 90's and certainly added to her sex appeal. It was very flattering to a person with Jennifer's perfectly sculptured facial features. To denounce it now is a sign she's unhappy with references to her past and wants people to see her in the present. It's doubtful she will ever recapture the magic of those years and she is just beginning to realize it and it's a rude awakening.

WHAT?! Jennifer thinks the Rachael hair worst ever. Sooo wrong. What she's wearing today; at 40, is absolutely horrid. My daughter wore that straight, parted down the middle hair, when she was a teen in the early 70's. It wasn't attractive then & it certainly isn't attractive today....BUT, all the women over 40 are wearing it while they spend a huge amount of time, on the air, with one or two hands in constant motion brushing one or both sides out of their faces; Kyle of BH Housewives for one. Why? Afraid of aging? Well, my dears, with that hairdo you are looking older than you think.
