Sorry, but I think this is kind of pathetic in a "i'm almost 40 but I'm still really really hot and I'm really way more deep than Rachel so hire me and did I mention I used to be married to Brad Pitt?" way.

Build the bridge, Jen. Then walk over it...

I think you are wrong on this, Jeff. I consider this a very dumb overthetop move. Aniston does not command top-5 actress pay cuz people like you or I want to bang her. But rather she has the hearts of all the women's club, who want her to find love.

My girlfriend's reaction this morning to this cover? "Skanky. The attention-needing is now sad." The tide will turn with this cover.

Actually, her dog movie Marley and Me opens for Xmas.

Meanwhile, Fantasy Moguls eliminated their movie prediction stuff, and Box Office Guru is predicting a $48M weekend for Day the Earth Stood Still?? Can that really be possible??

I've never really bought Aniston as a film star. As Obama might say, she's likable enough. I can see her in a few years back on a regular tv series--maybe as a middle-aged (but hot!) surgeon. No shame in that really; I say work with what you got.

Josh Massey says ...

My opinion of her took a nosedive when she hooked up with John Mayer. That guy was an insufferable dickbag before he was famous; I can't imagine what he's like now.

actionman says ...

She is so hot it's a joke. When my fiancee and I saw these magazine shots this ayem on the Today Show, we both commented over how gorgeous she is. It's awesome how Anniston, like Tomei, has gotten hotter as the years have progressed.

how to you spell DESPERATE? Sorry, but this seems like she is trying the last punch, the thing is Aniston is turning 40 this year, and you know what happens to actresses when they turn 40.

Aniston wants to prove that she is still hot and young. I wont even mention the Brangelina topic because I AM SICK of that. Could you picture Julia, Reese or Anne Heathway doing that? No. Wanna no why? They can get a role withoutthese kind of lame move.

Mark said that "The tide will turn with this cover". I agree that that the tide will turn but not for the worst. 99% of world's female population will never see the cover so this will have near zero effect on the minds of her loyal followers. On the other hand 99% of Hollywood producers and what nots will see this, which is what counts, and there's absolutely no doubt that her phone will be ringing a lot more. And that will have nothing to do with what written inside the magazine and all to do with what's on the cover.

Derby says ...

jennifer aniston is sexy. i give her that. and she had some choice moments on 'friends' in '94/'95. but as a movie actress it's been mediocre at best. as long as 'rumor has it...' is on her resume it's going to look mediocre. she's charming and pretty and that keeps her in the tabloids, which is too bad, really, because what else is there besides being bread pitt's jilted lover?

part of me wants to see her get some choice roles. another part of me doesn't care and is content to see her partially-clothed whenever possible.

i also think the 'break-up' is just ok; i like it, but i think it could have been much better.

comment #11

scooterzz says ...

tis will probably come off snarkier than intended but...how many times have you re-watched 'the breakup' and why would anyone watch it more than once?

comment #12

Rich S. says ...

After the recent revelations about that Faith Hill magazine cover, I question whether this is even her.

Aniston has never impressed me enough as an actress to convince me that Hollywood will still deal with her when it's decided she's "too old", which is about a year away. I see a sitcom or a lot of Lifetime flicks in her future.

ZayTonday says ...

Her performance in The Break-Up is so convincing because she has so much experience to draw from, amirite guyz?

Mark says ...

"there's absolutely no doubt that her phone will be ringing a lot more."

Since when did Aniston turn into Alicia Silverstone? I think Aniston's phone isn't silent, and we all know she works out. She was naked throughout all of her 30 Rock epidoe. this cover turns her needs, however, desperate.

comment #15

actionman says ...

eoguy: don't really care what it is she's been doing. she's fucking gorgeous.

and she was perfect in the break up, which is the best movie she's ever been in. funny movie all around, actually. have seen it a few times. favreau's scenes are beyond killer. and vince vaughn actually did some acting, instead of simply mugging for the camera.

comment #16

cleopatrajones says ...

fitz-hume, I got to disagree with you on this one. The cover photo was on The Today Show and will probably end up on all the entertainment shows and gossip blogs, all of which are 99% female. I've seen the inside photos and Aniston has gone Playboy without actually appearing in Playboy. This may actually backfire with her fan base.

comment #17

calraigh says ...

You mention The Break-Up and leave out The Good Girl (her absolute best role) and Your Friends and Neighbours? (which I hated but for some reason elicited praise)

I don't really know how posing on the front of a men's mag can be considered a ''good career move'' anymore. The reason mosts actors and actresses don't have the box-office pull they had in in the 80's/90's, is that they exploit every single morsel of their flesh and their personal lives in mags like this, in this way. Then when their movies come out audiences don't flock to see them because they've seen them on every fucking late night, early morning, mid-afternoon chatshow, on every mag cover, in every arts section, on every'' entertainment'' show. There's no need to pay $10 dollars to see them.

comment #18

TVMCCA says ...

My presumption is that NBC will sign Aniston for a sitcom (maybe a 9:30 p.m. lead into Leno's show) within a year.

comment #19

Josh Massey says ...

>Your Friends and Neighbors?

Are you thinking of Amy Brenneman? Or Friends With Money?

comment #20

actionman says ...

I forgot about Friends with Money. She's good in that too. She was solid in The Good Girl but that film rubbed me the wrong way.

comment #21

Derby says ...

it was 'Friends With Money'

and yes, she was good in that, as well as 'the good girl.' but 'rumor has it...' -- there is no excuse!

comment #22

calraigh says ...

Friends With Money , you're absolutely right. My bad.
I had a really violent reaction to that film,consequently erasing it's name from my memory, obviously.

comment #23

BurmaShave says ...

Jennifer Aniston was in OFFICE SPACE, thereby negating any GOOD GIRL vs. BREAKUP bullshit. I'm ashamed of all of you. I'd not really focused on how hot she still was until 30 ROCK a few weeks ago. Damn.

comment #24

actionman says ...

Her body was so tight during her 30 Rock appearance you could have played the drums on her ace. Quarter-bouncing for sure.

comment #25

MilkMan says ...

I've seen enough of those candid paparazzi pictures of her on vacation in Cabo, wearing nothing but a tiny little bikini, to know that not only is her body INCREDIBLE, but that there is no plastic surgery involved. She's had her face tweaked, no doubt about that, but her body is just about perfect. That being said, she's a very, very limited actress and definitely not a movie star. That should go without saying. She is missing The It, what Angellina has by the ton, which is probably part of the reason Pitt left her to begin with. All she really has going for her is that She-Looks-Like-This-Girl-I-Had-The-Hots-For-My-Senior-Year-At-NYU sex appeal, all of which is tied up in that body of hers. She has about seven to ten years left of that body, and then it's over for her, over in the sense that no one is going to want to really look at her anymore. She knows it and she's working it to the max. No one is hiring her for her acting. Big important directors have no interest in working with her. And there's no excuse. She makes one shitty choice after the next. Look at Michelle Williams. She could cashed in after Dawson's Creek, but her career since then has been one methodical move after the next to make herself a better actress and gain respect. Plus, I'd rather see Michelle Williams on the cover of GQ nude, but she won't do it, at least not anytime soon, because she doesn't have to. Aniston is a lazy beach bum. A hot lazy beach bum, but a beach bum nonetheless. Great ass, though. I mean, seriously, GREAT ASS.

Back in the late 60s, Nancy Sinatra had a TV special which Rex Reed reviewed, referring to Frank's daughter as a "pizza waitress."

Aniston is the world's all-time most famous pizza waitress: kinda cute but unremarkable, pleasant but no depth. She'll be completely forgotten in a few years.

As for Mayer's being a dick before he was famous, Ms. Aniston admits in interviews that she barely knew who he was when they met.

"The fourth good thing Aniston done for her career is costar in The Breakup, which gets a little bit better every time I re-watch it." Why would an intelligent adult with tons of other demands on his time, most importantly, this here blog, watch it more than once?

dcc77 says ...

I think we all can agree that she's hot and there's no shame in re-marketing yourself to Hollywood decision-makers.

She's not an artist; she's an actor -- and a one-dimensional one at that. Hence, the need for perpetual re-branding.

I loathe the snotty presumption in a question like this. Movies turn us on for various reasons, and it's not always the "quality" ones that hook us or invite us to revisit them. Everyone needs some time and leeway to follow his cinematic whims without a withered prune such as yourself sneering in disapproval.

comment #33

dinovelvet says ...

Count me in the "no thanks" category on this one. I concur this is a bit of a time-is-running-out "Look at me!!!" move. She turns 40 in a couple of months, and you can't really keep playing The Cute Girl (which is all she can do) much longer past that (e.g. Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock)

Back to tv within 2 or 3 years.

comment #34

MilkMan says ...

Someone needs to write a part for Jennifer Aniston where she plays one of those bitchy, perpetually irritated housewives who spends all day either jogging up and down San Vicente Blvd. or shopping at the boutiques on Montana Blvd. I bet she would ace a role like that. One of life's depressed winners.

comment #35

dickembody says ...

"Back to tv within 2 or 3 years."

Amen. Her movie career hasn't progressed; she is still playing The Girlfriend. She just can't open or carry a movie. Maybe back on TV she can be the star.

It's a fortunate thing that all the stars of "Friends" made some good bank...

I need a new alias but can't decide between Snotty Presumption and Withered Prune. They're both wonderful.

No matter if it’s on a couch or a cover.

You say it like it's a bad thing. She could kill in a good sitcom, hopefully as part of another ensemble. Plus, she has about a $100 million in the bank from her last one.

It would be nice to experience at least one month without seeing Jennifer Aniston, goddess of the AOL welcome screen lowest-common-denominator crowd, on the cover of any magazine. Let the shopgirls and receptionists find someone else to empathize with.

actionman: The best movie she's been in is Office Space.

Milkman: "That should go without saying. She is missing The It, what Angellina has by the ton, which is probably part of the reason Pitt left her to begin with."

The only thing Angelina's got is credentials from the Nicole Kidman School of Bad Acting. Brad's generally been awful at career decisions[Seven Days in Tibet, Meet Joe Black, Jesse James, Benjamin Button Inglorious Bastards, etc.], and ditching Jen was another screw-up on his part. [Yeah, he's got the Ocean's trilogy and Troy, but you can tell he only did those for the money. He rarely lands quality pics like Twelve Monkeys and Fight Club, unless the director seeks him out first. And even then, he usually ends up taking a supporting role in those films.]

Like Cruise and Kidman, Pitt and Aniston were a Power Couple. And now, like Cruise, Pitt has become a shadow of himself, eclipsed by the tabloid coverage of his wife. And Aniston may have a spotty movie career, but at least she's not stuck in b-movie hell like Angie.
