I don't see Jen talking about Brad & Angelina - I see Jen talking about Gwyneth Paltrow and the Daily Mail linking her to Gwyneth via Brad. And Jen's actually got quite a bit going in right now - she was just nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe, plus Horrible Bosses 2 recently came out and there's been a lot of buzz about that, not to mention her role in Cake (plus there's this new man in her life who gave her a pretty sizable rock for her left hand, so I hardly think she wastes her time rehashing her marriage to Angelina's beau to one of his other exes)
Here's the actual interview . . .
Jennifer Aniston on Why Feminism Shouldn't Be That Hard
In her upcoming film Cake, Aniston plays Claire, a woman in chronic pain after being in a car crash. "So much of the exercise was just letting yourself fall apart," says the actress. During filming, Aniston stopped wearing makeup, shaving, and looking in mirrors; she also had a large prosthetic scar on her face. "A woman going physically unattractive is where you get recognition and some sort of respect. You read things like, 'Oh, finally, she's acting!'" Aniston scoffs. What does she make of the fact that so much attention is paid to the physical appearances of actresses, especially when they go without makeup for a role? "Quite sexist, to be honest, because men don't get that." Here, Aniston poses for photographer Michael Thompson in a sequined silk dress by Donna Karan New York.
For this shot (the cover), hairstylist Chris McMillan combed a mixture of mousse and shine serum through Aniston's damp hair. He straightened just her roots and scrunched the bottom half of her hair with his hands while he dried it with a diffuser. To play up Aniston's golden look, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury swirled bronzer along the sides of her face and apricot blush on her cheeks. She chose a palette of gold and bronze shadows for Aniston's eyes and layered shimmery bronze gloss over berry lipstick. The look can be re-created with Colour Riche Eye Shadow in Treasured Bronze, True Match Super-Blendable Blush in Soft Sun, and Colour Riche Le Gloss in Nude Touch by L'Oréal Paris.
When asked why the word "feminism" is so complicated, Aniston is direct: "Because people overcomplicate it. It's simply believing in equality between men and women. Pretty basic." She's not shy about her thoughts on motherhood, either. "I don't like [the pressure] that people put on me, on women—that you've failed yourself as a female because you haven't procreated. I don't think it's fair. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesn't mean you aren't mothering—dogs, friends, friends' children." Aniston has reason to have thought these issues through. "This continually is said about me: that I was so career-driven and focused on myself; that I don't want to be a mother, and how selfish that is." Ticking off these accusations now, she seems unfazed. But when it's suggested to Aniston that maybe she just lets the insinuations roll off her back after so many years of hearing them, she says, "No. Even saying it gets me a little tight in my throat." Here, she wears a beaded silk dress by Altuzarra.

Aniston's hair is naturally curly, though in the past she usually wore it straight because controlling the texture was so arduous. "The amount of crap that I'd have to load up, layering different products and going down to the ocean and getting some water bottles filled with beach water [to spray on it]. That would work. But how often are you near a beach? It's nice to let it go raw and animal. You just have to have the right product," says Aniston, who is a co-owner of and spokeswoman for Living Proof, which this month introduced Living Proof Curl, a line of products promising to help curly hair hold its shape without frizz. "It's nice when something works and does what it says it's going to do," she says of the new products. "A bad-hair day really can set you off on the wrong foot, as can many other things, but it's nice when you get the good hair down because that way you can focus on all the other things that are going wrong."

Jennifer Aniston’s hair is awfully famous. And it's hard to believe she's ever had a beauty misstep. But for our January issue, the Living Proof co-owner and Aveeno spokeswoman opened up to writer Brooke Hauser about her beauty routine, the best beauty advice she got from her mother, and a major hair regret (it's not the Rachel cut!).Have you ever made a beauty mistake? “Mini Mohawk, when I was 14. And the worst makeup mistake was the ’80s. That was all a mistake.”
Have you learned any great hair tricks from a stylist? “For those who have curly, unmanageable hair, braid your hair at night while wet and sleep in it.”
What part of your beauty routine would you never let your fiancé witness? “There’s nothing I wouldn’t let him see.”
Allure: “And vice versa?”
Aniston: “Totally. Oy.”
What’s a typical day’s diet? “Morning shake with a piece of toast. A salad with protein and vegetables. An afternoon snack of a soup, green juice, and a handful of nuts. And then I have some form of protein and vegetables for dinner.”
What’s your biggest food craving? “Nachos.”
What are your favorite and least favorite workouts? “I love them all. I love working out. The only time I don’t like it is when I’m tired.”
What’s the best beauty advice you got from your mother? “Start using eye cream in your 20s. I was using eye cream when I was, like, 18.”
Life is pretty good for Jennifer Aniston, who, along with her fiancé, actor-director-writer Justin Theroux, just completed renovations on their home in Los Angeles. (That's them above, at the Governors Awards in Hollywood on November 8.) She's not the type to flaunt her happiness by posting lovey-dovey pics on Instagram, but that doesn't mean that they're not lovey-dovey. During her interview with writer Brooke Hauser for the January 2015 issue of Allure, which took place at Aniston's house, when Theroux came home, she brightened. He hung out for a few minutes, just long enough to answer an impromptu question. Hauser mentioned that she'd read that they do facial masks together on Sunday nights. True?
Aniston: Yes, we do. We switch around. We do Cellcosmet.
Theroux: It's adorable.
Aniston: It's adorable. But he's honestly so comfortable in his masculinity. As opposed to some guys, who would never—
Theroux: Ride that line.
Aniston: You do. You ride the line, babe.
Theroux: "Babe, we gotta do our masks." I never do that.
Aniston: [Smiling] No, you don't.
As for her engagement, the impending nuptials feel impending enough that the couple’s close friends have taken to showing up at their house in formalwear. “It’s adorable. If we throw a little pizza party, we have this couple...every time, they would come over in black tie, or at least a proper suit; she was in a gorgeous dress. It happened at a Fourth of July party. We’re all in jean shorts, and they came in going, ‘Is it happening?!’” Aniston squeals and laughs. “There was a time when people thought we were going to throw a party and surprise everybody.”
No, she’s not about to reveal her wedding plans. But, she says, “we do talk about it all the time.”

Ummm ok. Get out your feelings a bit...it was a fleeting thought. without her connection to Brad, honestly Jen would not be the Jen that she is now.
