I wouldn't be surprised if she's a bit obsessive about her weight since she said early in her career she was told to lose weight. I think she was maybe 130 and probably lost 20 lbs. Plus she had a mother who was always telling her she wasn't pretty.

I think only very few actors can afford to be unconcerned about their weight. Jen is expected to look a certain way - girl next door, fit and sunny etc both on and off the screen. I have no doubt she works hard to keep that look but her approach to me seems reasonable and she doesn't seem like she's starving herself to achieve it. She could be a raging b!tch but I've never heard anything bad about her. My admiration of her stems largely from how she handled the circumstances of her divorce and the public scorn that was heaped on top of the loss and betrayal. She was and continues to be all class.
I remember that interview! The roommate helped her at the beginning, but when JA became successful, she didn't reciprocate and dropped her.
That was the first time I read she had electrolysis on her forehead and really raised her hairline. The roommate spilled the beans.
I just asked my husband who is sexier- Jennifer or Angelina? Without a beat, he said, "Jennifer because she's funny." Then I probed him why, and he said because she has pretty hair.
Isn't it funny what you remember from celeb interviews?
I always remember an article where Martha Stewart said she recommended having a different set of washer / dryer for your whites and your colors, and that struck me as the most glamorous extravagance ever!

I don't know a single guy who doesn't find her sexy. I think if I were gay, I'd be into someone like her.
I think it's odd there is ever a comparison between Jennifer and Angelina, they are opposites to me. If people are attracted to girl next door, blonde, athletic, California girl type beauty, Jennifer fits it to a t. If someone goes for tall, thin, pale skinned brunettes with exotic beauty, then Angelina would be perfect.
Each appears to have a personality that fits their looks and that adds to their completely different appeal to people.
One last thing, if every famous celebrity stopped to talk and be friendly to all of their fans every day, they would never get anywhere in life, even to the grocery store. So some of the coldness and selfishness or whatever that appears after they are well known is totally necessary in my opinion.

I always thought them being opposites was one of the big reasons for the comparisons. They got sorted into these sort of archetypal categories... the sunny, light, natural, approachable girl next door vs the dark, complicated, damaged seductress... It made for a marketable and easily digestible media narrative.
Supporting team Aniston vs Team Jolie felt like a personality litmus test for a while, like which one you prefer was supposed to reveal something about your personality. I guess it's the thing that makes boy bands so marketable... like who's your favourite beatle?
Okay I'm babbling now but you know what I'm trying to say... it's the archetypal thing or something... blah, blah, blah.

That is an extravagance! And yes, certain things stick for some reason.
I also remember Brad answering Oprah (different interview) when she asked what JA must think being married to Brad Pitt, which was a totally stupid question, what does Jen think knowing she's married to the Brad Pitt… anyway, he said, "Oh, she's so over me."
The comment stuck in my head forever, because even at the time it was odd, although O thought he meant that he was just a husband not a movie star to his wife. But O never got the subtlety.
I personally never saw brad Pitt and Jennifer as a good fit. They seemed on two different wavelengths to me. So it wasn't a shock when they split IMO. Justin seems a much better fit for her.
I don't think Angelina is horrible. She was younger and did some weird things. But now she does do a lot of humanitarian work.
