Once-Quiet Aniston's Now All Over the Place
November 14, 2008 11:39 AM
After years spent hiding in plain view, Jennifer Aniston is suddenly piping up, whining about her past relationship with Brad Pitt and pouting at the press for paying attention to her rants.
It started with her Vogue interview, details of which emerged early this week, in which Aniston trashed Pitt's current partner in fame, philanthropy and child hoarding, Angelina Jolie.
Talking about how Jolie gushed about her budding romance with her then-husband on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," Aniston said, "That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
Then, on "Oprah," she criticized Vogue for printing the headline "What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool" next to her cover photo.
Aniston took a break from contradicting herself to parallel her Hollywood persona last night on "30 Rock," where she played an old friend of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) who, upon meeting Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin), proceeds to cling on to him like there's no tomorrow, going so far as to suggest they have a threesome. (She's rumored to be attached at the hip to her current beau, John Mayer.)
Aniston's newly public profile has drummed up plenty of press for her upcoming movie, "Marley & Me," but it seems it's also angered Pitt. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, he called Aniston to complain about her Vogue interview.
Perhaps it would be wise for the former "Friends" star to abide by the old maxim, "If you don’t have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." At least, if she wants to retain any friends of her own.

I love 30 Rock...don't love Anniston...she makes me want to vomit, she's annoying and talentless, and for the first time in my life, I actually turned off the TV while 30 Rock was on...Jennifer, please go away...

I fully understand why Jennifer is peeved about remarks made by Angelina Jolie concerning her eagerness to get to the set when filming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's like another slap in Aniston's face after she aleady endured the torment of having her marriage shattered in the eye of the public. I do not understand why Aniston is being considered a "whiner". It is not as if she has been carrying on with interviews and snide comments about this subject since it happened. Maybe this is exactly what she needs to get complete closure on the issue. By the way, what right does Brad have to complain about anything? He put himself in a possible line of fire when he chose to blatantly ignore his marriage vows!!

She has been quiet for to long. Way to go Jen. Angie now wants to tell the truth that she just has to sleep with married men. She has issues.

Amen! It was classless of Jolie to gush about "falling in love" with Pitt while he was still married. Divorce is painful enough for those involved, but to have the other woman (or man) talking about "how wonderful it was to go to work while falling in love" publicly is insulting to the wronged spouse.
Besides, what did she say that was so bad? She said it was uncool, she didn't trash Jolie or call her names (I can think of a few appropriate ones) according to anything I've read. She just said her actions were inappropriate.

It is time for her to get over Brad and go on with her life. I think she is trying to build a career out of her break up with Brad because she doesn't have any real talent. Brad has moved on she should too.

Ok already Aniston! So you lost your man! Get over it. Wah! Wah! Whining like a little spoiled brat that you probably are! Get over yourself!!!

I support Jennifer since she doesn't steal married men from their married women. It's telling in that Pitt hasn't married Jolie yet, and he atleast married Jen. That's very telling in a relationship -- and Pitt obviously has doubts or he would have already married Jolie and made a full commitment to her and his children. Otherwise, he is just like Dr. Laura speaks of, "shacking up" with his woman.

Admit it Aniston! You lost him to a better woman! At least they're doing something for mankind! All you're doing is whining to mankind about your self pity! Get over it!!! You ain't got that much going anyway!!!

Brad's not that handsome anyway. He has mousy ears. Jen is making much better looking than Brad or Jolie ever will be. Brad looks haggard now. With Jen, he looked handsome and cared about the way he looked. Now, he is almost homely looking, not appropriate for a major actor's public role.

Bless Jen's heart, she has handled this way better than most people would. I guess it just depends on "who you are" if its ok or not to blatantly cheat on your spouse. I'm sick of everyone acting like they are the prince and princess of America. As far as I'm concerned, they are an embarrassment to America. Has Angie ever been with a man that wasn't married??? I can't think of one. I keep thinking that one of these days she'll do a movie and 'fall in love' with another married co-star and she won't be able to keep her pants on then either. I wonder if she'll want the kids or if Brad will get stuck with them? She may want to start all over again with someone else! I don't care if you are a fan of Jen or not, she didn't deserve what happened to her and I think she has been a complete and total classy lady over the whole thing. Unlike Brad's anorexic, no class "baby mama".

I do not understand women. Why do we always bashed the other women and not their cheating husbands. I gave Jen alot of credit for the way she handle it in the begining, but I haven't heard her bash Brad only Jolie.

All you women sound just as bitter as Jennifer. Why can't Angelina talk about how she fell in love?? She was not married, she was not the one committed to someone else. Jennifer is a typical woman bashing the woman and praising the man who did commit adultery. She is so boring and so old, just blah, um hello its the past and she should want to move on instead of playing the victim she claims to hate she is portrayed as.

Oh Waaa! Get over yourself, Jennifer.
Lots of relationships do not last....for whatever reason. Brad is very obviously happy with Angelina and their children. You will never be able to move on in your own life if you keep talking about this and rehashing it with whoever will listen. Its been years. Time to grow up, put on your big girl undies and get your own life going.

I think when someone is rejected, it's harder to get over it, because you always wonder what you didn't do or if there was a way you could have made it better. Jenn and Brad just didn't have the "it" that was needed. Jenn has been romantically linked with almost every one of her recent co-stars. That's what happened with Pitt and Jolie. Was it morally right, no. But sometimes out of bad choices come something great. I think she should decline to comment about anything related to Brangelina. It's been years now and she should just focus on her future. I enjoy her movies and I think she should never subject herself to such scrutiny by commenting on their relationship. Its not a good look. No one is worth making yourself look like you are bitter.

I have been a huge fan of Jolie for many over, however this has nothing to do with how we perceive either one as an actor. Morally, Jolie actually did an "uncool" thing. She knew Brad was married and she still went for him. In case you haven't notice, Jolie has been publicizing how much she loves Brad and how she wants to show Mr. and Mrs. Smith to the kids so they can see the movie where their parents feel in love and all this nonse to many magazines and on many interviews lately. Its insulting and extremelly disrespectiful to Jen.
I think Jen has handled herself extremelly well for the past few years and it is now time for her to defend herself since Jolie keeps opening her mouth without any consideration to what she did to Jen.

Jennifer is okay and has had to deal with a bad situation exasberated by the press and Pitt. In my opinion, Angelina Jolie is and always be a skank.
Plain and simple.
Posted by: Justin | Nov 14, 2008 12:36:56 PM
Shelia's Marikar is mean, Jen has every right to speak out against Angie. She wanted Jen's man and she got him. Now Jen is saying okay, your talking about it openly so am I.
Posted by: Kate | Nov 14, 2008 12:38:18 PM
I take issue with the writer of this article...bitter fits you nicely. You should get out of your office and perhaps get a little action of your own. Jennifer has as much right to go on Oprah and talk about whatever she chooses. It hasn't sounded like whining to me...just telling us what happened. We were very curious as to how she felt about this when it happened and now we know. Thanks for the info, Jen.
Posted by: Dee | Nov 14, 2008 12:39:13 PM
Laura, you obviously have never had a mate that cheated on you...You are taking the other woman side. I have been on the wife side, and what Jolie did was terrible. Brad Pitt is not worth it. For all of the good things they seem to be doing, I still think their morals could stand some improvment.
