Jennifer Aniston

[Alexenjie]

I've read people saying that Jen purposefully did the magazine article to show off the house and to coincide with the divorce in order to sell the house which make sense, so many more people will view it this way. Either that or there is bad luck to show your house with this magazine as many celebrity divorces have shortly followed. I didn't watch the video but I did look at pictures of the house at the magazine web site. It's beautiful but not cozy or home-like in my definition (but I wouldn't want something so big even if I had millions of dollars). Maybe there are a lot of parts of it that Justin liked and Jen was trying to get him to spend more time in California? I can't blame her for trying though I think they were both foolish to marry someone who wanted to live and who also works so far away from each other. Some people can do long distance marriages but most people want to actually live/spend a lot of time with their spouse. Absence does not make the heart grow fonder, absence makes the heart forget This is just my opinion.

If Jen's manager is telling gossip writers to send out pity stories for her he is making a mistake. The 5 minutes of attention is not worth the respect you lose from people who think you are ungrateful, immature and probably a bad marriage partner. I don't think Jen is desperate for attention and I think she is more intelligent then people give her credit for.

Do you have any example of this or anything other than speculation? I haven't read lately any "poor me" articles.

I don't follow her that closely, never been a huge fan, but I don't understand the Jen bashing when she seems so innocuous.

Who is Jen bashing? People are just noticing a pattern.

It's been said that without her publicist sharing relationship and personal life stories to People magazine and the like, there would be no “Jennifer Aniston”.

It's not about bad luck, it's about being business savvy.

Some celebrities showcase their homes in Architectural Digest because they plan on selling soon after and this is great advertisement for their incredible homes.

No Jennifer Aniston? After 10 years of a #1 hit show, where she at that time was considered the "it" girl, I think not. She was the breakout star of Friends and became a huge movie star, before Brad and before he cheated and dumped her for AJ. Prior to Brad, I knew nothing about her personal life, but "Jennifer Aniston" was a household name.

If you go by your theory that would apply to almost every celebrity as they all have PR teams, so I guess that makes it an even playing field.

Nah....she most certainly did not become a huge movie star before Brad and she most certainly not was a household name prior to him. Her PR team worked hard on her image.

"Jennifer Aniston" was a household name.

Totally agree. She was on top of the world while Friends was airing. Maybe some others are too young but I remember it well lol.

Fwiw here’s what wiki says: “Aniston gained worldwide recognition for portraying Rachel Green on the television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), a role which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. The character was widely popular during the airing of the series and was later recognized as one of the greatest female characters in American television.... The program was successful and Aniston, along with her co-stars, gained worldwide recognition among television viewers.... According to the Guinness World Book of Records (2005), Aniston (along with her female costars) became the highest-paid TV actress of all time with her US $1 million-per-episode paycheck for the final season of Friends. Her character's relationship with Ross Geller, portrayed by David Schwimmer in the show, was widely popular among audiences, and the couple were frequently voted as TV's favorite couple by polls and magazines.”

I agree she was not a huge movie star ever....before or after Brad. But I think she was probably the most successful of the Friends cast and when she married Brad she became at least twice as famous.

Its funny how some personal biases have a way of distorting facts. Thanks for the links. JA was one of the highest paid TV actress, she at one time was also one of the highest paid big movie screen actress, and for over a decade. I was never a huge Friends fan, but all of my friends were at the time and everyone loved JA, I remember all the boys thought she was hot.

Like her or not, she was a big movie star.

Friends star Jennifer Aniston is one of the only actresses to stay on our highest-paid actresses list for a solid decade. In 2006, Aniston was the second top-earning actress with $18.5 million. This year, she ranks fourth with earnings of $21 million. Aniston still gets seven-figure upfront fees for films, but she gets most of her millions through endorsements with Smartwater, Aveeno and other brands.

Another topic. Of all three: Jolie, Pitt, Aniston, who are all strangely single at this time. Who do you think will date first? I mean go public with their new gf/bf first?

Anyone?

I still like the Thanksgiving episode that guest stars Brad Pitt - the inside jokes as they were married at the time were great.

Her ex-boyfriend Tate Donovan also was on the show in a recurring role for a while - I haven't enjoyed a weekly show as much as Friends in a long time.

Publicist write celebs wikis and I'm fairly certain I was a whole ass grown adult with real bills when Friends was on TV.

I bet is on AJ.......with Justin T.

I wish there was DVR back then, I only was able to see a handful of episodes. It was definitely a cult following.

I remember her as being very famous for Friends. And it may be a small thing but what added to that fame was the “Rachel hairstyle.” It gave her a reach beyond the tv programme and beyond what her costars achieved. I’m not American and did not really watch much of Friends at the time but the hairstyle made her a household name.

As for who will date first, I think anyone dating Angelina Jolie, will find it intimidating with her having 6 children, especially as a few of those kids are now entering their teens.

It's on Netflix - you can catch up now! I was a student then and it was a big hit - I remember rushing back home to catch the new episodes. A lot of students would gather in the lounge to watch.

I just see it from a different perspective.

Yes, during Friends, Jen and her hair were very famous, but she needed a great PR team to keep the momentum going and yes, most celebrities, especially those who depend on their looks, have great PR people.

Unless they are a Meryl Streep type, many rely on the gossip industry to sustain their stardom.
