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.

Tanya,
I totally agree. I love all three as actors and actresses, but Brad and Jennifer WERE married. That was very tasteless of Jolie to talk about how she felt about Brad when Brad was still married. She didn't use good judgement with that one. But Jen has to go on, Brad and Angelina have to go on, and I wish them all the happiness in the world.

Why don't people STOP asking her questions about her ex and then then maybe she will not talk about it.
My Gosh...leave her alone. Jennifer seems like a kind person who got her heart broken. Do we neeed to reopen the wound every interview?? Give the gal some friggin space!

What goes around comes around - Jolie started all of this by talking about her affair with Pitt. Of course Aniston could have taken the high road and continued to not talk about it but I can't say I blame her for finally saying enough is enough and talking as well. Saying Jolie is "uncool" is being very, very kind. Having said that - why am I writing about this? :) Talk about ancient history!

Sue you would be wrong, my husbak cheated on me when I was pregnant with our son but unlike Jennifer I have moved on. I do not fault that woman, it is my scum ex husband who I find fault with. Jenn should just not comment at all, I mean is she in high school or what?? I agree, she needs to put on her big girl panties and move the heck on!!!!

"That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."
You call that "trashing?" Geez.

Jenn must move on. If Jolie speaks to the press about her love everyday -- so! Get over it. Yes Jolie did get Pitt, but only bitter people cling to the past and continuously harp on what somebody did to them. Jolie can profess her love as much as she wants. If they hadn't met on Mr. & Mrs. Smith and met on the street after Pitt and Anniston divorced, it wouldn't have made a hill of beans difference. Jenn probably would still be bitter if Jolie talked about how much she loved Brad. Just like Tom Crews and Nicole Kidman, time and space and lady like silence, heals all. Talk about yourself Jenn and forget about Brangelina.

Shelia Marikar are you on Angelina's payroll or something? If I were Jennifer I would have slammed them both for what they did a long time ago. She took the high road initially. But good Lord woman, when the bean-pole skank comes out publically to BRAG about how she stole her husband, what would you expect her to do? She has every right!

Some of you didn't get the point of all this. I don't think Jennifer spent a minute talking about this on Oprah, and you say she's building a career over this??!
Angelina has talked for years about her intimate life with the media, and Jennifer has been mum. The difference now is that she's adding the details about how she Brad started her own thing when Brad was STILL MARRIED TO JENNIFER!
I agree that that's the uncool part in all this and Jennifer had all the right to point it out, as she was the one who was publicly humiliated over this.
And uncool was a very decent word Jennifer chose to describe this. She was REALLY nice if you think of the word that Angelina really deserves.

I think it's time Jennifer had her say - everyday everywhere for the past several years she's been "expected" to hold her head high, now two words has hardly brought her down to the level of Angelina Jolie - sounds to me for Jolie and Pitt there must be trouble in paradise for her to have to smear their disgusting union all over the press - trying to convince someone that all is well - I don't buy it

I think Angelian Jolie shut up keep talking about when she cheated. It's just uncool.

Laura, you were not publicly humiliated for the whole world to see, and continued to be humiliated now that Angelina is giving details to the world about how they started the whole thing behind Jennifer's back.
Don't compare your case with Jennifer's. No one knows or cares who you are or what happened to you.

What exactly does Angelina "deserve"??? I hope that we all don't get what we really "deserve". It's so sad that we all get so high and mighty and self righteous in judging who falls in love with whom. Brad obviously fell for her too. He didn't just bed her. He has built a life with her. He just wasn't happy with Jenn. When ever Jenn's in a relation she's spread all over every magagine in her bikini or being romantic in public. Let's stop this Angelina witch hunt. She's not evil at all. Yes, she fell in love with someone, but ultimately they both fell in love and instead of stringing Jenn along and cheating on her, he let her go to find her own true love. Think about it.

First of all, if anyone saw the Oprah interview, Jen HAS moved on with her life. It's not as though she asked for that question to be asked...it was asked an answered, period! Angie is not aging well and she's what? 8 years or so younger than Jen. Jen looks so incredible for being almost 40! You go, girl! As for the Angie lovers here...I wonder how many of you have gone after or at least longed for a married man...is nothing sacred anymore? He was married, people! Angie's history of stealing other women's husbands, fiances (remember Billy Bob?) is VERY telling of her character. People who admire that are trash themselves!

Oh please - anyone that can defend Jolies actions amazes me - I don't find Pitt any better but coming to the defense of that woman makes me sick

I think it's ridiculous to say Aniston is bashing anyone. Saying something Jolie said is "uncool" hardly qualifies as bashing. Jennifer has kept quiet all these years, why shouldn't she have an opinion on a hurtful event that happened to her?! I mean, sure, it's swell that Angelina does so many charitable things, but that doesn't mean she can't be hurtful to someone, whether it was intentional or not.
Posted by: Lynn | Nov 14, 2008 1:03:02 PM
Laura, i think it was rude the way i worded it out, what i meant, is that since you're not famous, no one, and i meant the media and public in general, knows or would care about your situation the way they would care about Jennifer, Angelina and Brad.

So Karen - do you think it is possible to be in the wrong marriage? Do you think that sometimes people get married for the wrong reasons and sometimes realize it too late? Yes, people should ask all the right questions BEFORE saying I DO. But sometimes we get it wrong. When we do, 4 years later, we don't need to be emotionally attached or commenting on the past. We ought to thank that unhappy spouse for setting us free especially before we start raising a family. Do me a favor, break up with me and be with the one you love, don't stay with me because it's the right thing to do - I deserve a better love than that.

oK, I THINK JENNIFER IS OVER IT, SHE'S BEEN QUIET FOR A VERY LONG TIME, SHE'S PROBABLY SICK AND TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT AND BEING QUESTIONED ABOUT IT AND THEN TO HEAR THAT WITCH ANGELINA BRAG THAT SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH JENS HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS STILL MARRIED WAS PROBABLY THE LAST STRAW. LEAVE HER ALONE, SHE IS HUMAN.
