Jennifer Aniston’s latest SmartWater ads: pretty or meh?

aniston2

Here are some newly-released print ads for Jennifer Aniston’s gig with SmartWater. There are so many SmartWater ads with Aniston – I remember the first few campaigns, Aniston was fully clothed, and there was, like, poetry about bottled water as Aniston was seen tossing her hair back. In the past year or so, SmartWater decided to sex it up and Aniston has been seen with less clothes, which I think she enjoys – she loves taking off her kit for photo shoots in general. The above image is the better photo from this latest round, I think. Her body looks great, it’s a cute little outfit, and Aniston’s face is Photoshopped to look like Natalia Vodianova. It’s a lovely pic, but Aniston doesn’t really look like that. Also: why are these images being released now? They were obviously shot months ago, before Aniston’s haircut. Why now? Why this week?

The second image is kind of weird. I’ve never seen a celebrity exit a limo with a dazed look and a bottle of SmartWater in their hand. But sure. Why not? Aniston probably needs to hydrate after doing vodka shots in the back of the limo. Or who knows, the SmartWater bottle could be filled with vodka, like Linnocent fills up her Red Bull cans with… liquid crack, I guess.

By the way, in other Aniston news, I thought this one of the most interesting stories of the week: you know how Aniston is moving to NYC and she bought two huge apartments in the same West Village building that she’s going to turn into one even bigger, two-floor apartment? Well, Aniston purchased the apartments under the name “Norman’s Nest Trust” – Norman is her dog. Her dog owns the apartments. Well, her dog’s trust owns the apartments. Odd. I’m sure there’s a business explanation for it, but that story just amused me.

    Honestly: Aniston is so OVER-RATED!!!!!!!! Yes sometimes she can look cute and firm for a 40 something (whose body hasn’t endured motherhood yet, lucky biatch) but there are so many other fresh faced, pretty talents out there! I’m so bored with this broad…just go get artificially inseminated and retire already, girl! And I hate her hair on the red dress pics…was she doing a “solo” on the SUV’s back seat?

  2. Sherri says:

    love the look of the new print ads – she’s adorable in candid shots too

  3. LisaMarie says:

    I agree with antisara completely.

  4. mln76 says:

    I liked the half naked pics better because her body really is her best feature these are just well to put it nicely Aniston isn’t really a model and doesn’t have the face to sell bottled water….BTW buying a apartment in your dogs name is just well an odd choice I am not going there.

  5. Eve says:

    In the first picture they made her look like Bar Refaeli!!!

  6. mdf says:

    and people wonder why Megan Fox gets so much plastic surgery at such a young age. Aging is a no-no in hollyweird…

    whatever, I’m more insulted by the fact that a company selling something that’s supposed to be good for you, heavily photoshopped Jen. It’s basically false advertising IMO.

  7. Jackson says:

    Jeneric.

  8. the original bellaluna says:

    Don’t give a fuck. Smart Water is Gatorade, minus the carbs and sugar. I’ve been drinking it for years (W-A-Y before this shit was popular and JA endorsed it) and I will continue to drink it. (Don’t like Gatorade!!!)

    Side note – Function Water tastes better. Personal observation.

  9. sapphire says:

    Totally over-exposed. This chick has long ago worn out her welcome. Go away for a long while.

  10. gamblea says:

    too much photoshop. She’s not that thin.

  11. lucy2 says:

    First photo is nice, limo photo is weird. Really weird, I don’t get the point at all.
    The apartment’s not in the dog’s name, LOL! Most celebs buy real estate through a trust, and most of the trusts have odd names like that.

  12. Addie says:

    I just get the feeling that Jen can’t picture a life away from the limelight, it really appears to be her main focus.

    She refuses to take a break from it.
    I wonder why?

  13. Hautie says:

    Having a trust is a must, for a very wealthy individual. Usually they have more than one.

    Plus a really good trust is the best way to avoid the government from taking huge part of your estate in taxes, upon death.

  14. junipergreen says:

    Neither her dog nor her dog’s trust does not own the apartments. She does. A dog cannot be the executor of a trust, therefore the dog doesn’t have a trust. Also, every trust has a name. If she named it “The Batman Trust” that does not mean it’s actually Batman’s trust.

    I think she looks gorgeous ads, but I’m so beyond sick of the photoshopping of everything. I’d have so much more appreciation for real images that look interesting.

  15. RobN says:

    She looks stunning and there’s not a person here who wouldn’t trade looks with her in a minute, regardless of what they claim. However, I’m just not getting the screwed up hemline as a trend, just not getting it.

  16. anonymous says:

    Jennifer Aniston is not going to take a break and stay out of the lime light for a second. The Angelina Jolie au trois is kind of trite, but that is what’s going on with this chick, I can bet these photo’s is to compete with the Jolie Louis Voitton campaign ads, after 6 years this woman is still persuing Brad Pitt,stay tuned.

  17. danielle352 says:

    Yep, @Hautie is right, and only the wealthy deal with trusts, not us peons. If someone sues us, it’s pretty much pointless, but the rich try to protect their money. I mean I would.

    question: Jen is known to like the bottle, so how does she look like a 20 something and not Chelsea handler??

  18. Cheyenne says:

    Why now? Why this week? Doesn’t she usually come out with some new publicity stunt every year during the same week the Jolie-Pitts are at Cannes? Sh*t gets old.

  19. Runs with Scissors says:

    “She looks stunning and there’s not a person here who wouldn’t trade looks with her in a minute,”

    *raises hand*

    Even if these ads weren’t photoshopped into oblivion, I mean, they don’t even look like her anymore, she is a product of tons of money, plastic surgery and over polishing of an average looking woman. Meh.

    She has that over-wrought, boozy, floozy thing going on and always looks like she’s LOVING it. It’s just embarrassing.

  20. vanessa says:

    I think she looks great and so what if she’s photoshopped, every celebrity gets photoshopped! In snapshots she still looks amazing and better than most women her age. But does she even have control of when these are released? Maybe of which pics and what they look like but wouldn’t it be up to smartwater to release these?

  21. mln76 says:

    @RobN sorry I wouldn’t trade her face with mine for a million bucks…I bet there are a lot of CB posters who would look just as good if not better in a photoshoot…Aniston’s face is average now her body is another story.

  22. Eve says:

    She looks stunning and there’s not a person here who wouldn’t trade looks with her in a minute, regardless of what they claim.

    Really? Regardless of what they claim? Because I know I wouldn’t — regardless of such generalization. Not in a minute, not in a decade and even if I lived to be a hundred years old (which I really wouldn’t want to happen), I still wouldn’t trade looks with her. Why would I? I’m younger, thinner and my skin hasn’t been affected by smoking (since I don’t smoke). Yes, I’d change a thing or two about my appearance, but nothing dramatic. I do not hate my looks to the point of wanting to trade places with someone else. If we were talking about income and fortunes, then yes, I’d love trade places with her in a heartbeat.

    You could have made your point — that she is or that she looks beautiful in these ads — without implying everybody else isn’t. Or that everybody who doesn’t like them is lying.

  23. bluhare says:

    So she named her trust after her dog? I think it’s sweet; she’s always talked about Norman (which I think it one of the best dog names ever), and he’s got to be a bit long in the tooth now.

    My other nom de plume is a combination of the first two letters of my dogs’ names, so I guess I’m weird too!

    And whoever said “Jeneric”? Good one!!

  24. Hanh says:

    the pics are beautiful but way over photoshopped. they should have left her face and body alone.

  25. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “But does she even have control of when these are released?”

    my guess is no, but that won’t stop the people who are still obsessed with the triangle and insist that everything she does is to “steal their thunder”. maybe it was SmartWater that realized if they release these ads now, people will talk about the timing of the release and therefore garner more “free” publicity.

    you asked “pretty or meh?” I say “pretty meh”. (“Jeneric” – YES!)

    she looks good, but she’s also photoshopped to oblivion.

  26. kazoo says:

    well her nose was airbrushed to look small and her smile lines are airbrushed out, so the ad is pretty.

  27. sandy says:

    desperate, that’s what comes to mine every time she does this, (trying to counteract when we see jolie/pitt) what it says is, i am intimidated, jealous, i can be notice too, and yes, she has say in putting herself out there for public consumption, it happens every time jolie/pitt is in the headlines, don’t worry jen, we won’t forget you, you won’t let us, stalking much?

  28. RobN says:

    Some people doth protest too much.

  29. Ell says:

    If there is any timing issue I’m sure it’something to do with Horrible Bosses. She looks good in first pic, although I think she looks far better without photoshop.

  30. Cassandra says:

    What brand of heals is she wearing in the last picture? Anyone? It looks so pretty!

  31. albeli says:

    I think she looks really pretty.

  32. original kate says:

    i don’t get the hate for jen – she seems pretty harmless to me, but whatever. she looks fine but i agree smart water is crap. just drink water, people, and stay away from the plastic bottles already. as for jen’s trust all wealthy people have them – what’s the big mystery? as a dog person myself i love that she named it after her dog. i’ve seen photos of norman and he is very cute. a beagle mix, i believe.

    mazel, norman!

  33. Eve says:

    Some people can’t take criticism.

  34. Nanea says:

    There’s nothing smart about that water.

    Distilled water is bad for the body, even if they add electrolytes. A natural mineral water would be much better.

    Plastic bottles are not only harmful to the environment but also bad for anyone’s health because of the phtalates.

    But of course JA is smart for taking all that money that people toss her way.

  35. Sue says:

    Has anyone seen her SmartWater commercial on TV? I ask because I’ve never seen it anywhere but online and I don’t get why they would put this new ad out when to my knowledge they haven’t aired the commercial which was released months ago.

    As for the picture the first one she looks nice in now the second one where she getting out of the car doesn’t even look like her Photoshop way to much.

  36. RHONYC says:

    i love the ‘bitchiness’ of Celebitchy in the clever post placements of Angelina’s above Jennifer Aniston.

    i see you, Kaiser! 😆

  37. annie says:

    They photoshopped out her chin

  38. Josephina says:

    Annie-

    I agree with you. Photoshopping her chin out completely changes her look into someone else.

    I too question the timing of certain advertisements and announcements that involve Jennifer when Angie is scheduled for movie press coverage. As someone said earlier, her hair is much shorter now.

    I could probably appreciate the ad a little more- Aniston is nice looking- had this ad been released next week. I still would have questioned the hair length.

  39. Newbie says:

    LOL at the limo pic! And LOL at Kaiser’s description of said pic. Wow!

  40. Lisa Turtle says:

    The legal reason is because she doesn’t want to pay New York state residency taxes.

    New York requires all residence owners to pay a tax, rich people with multiple homes in New York often set up trusts to avoid this tax. To get around the trusts, NY has taken to investigating the trustees and beneficiaries. My making her dog the beneficiary, the trust is used to “benefit” him and animals are not residences of the state for tax purposes. Viola, legal tax evasion 101.

  41. Kim says:

    Pretty but WAYYYY to photoshopped esp her nose and chin in the first pic. Hair is blah looking.

  42. Kim says:

    I am loving the bob WAY more than the straight blah hair she has worn for years (and has in these ads). I really like the new shorter, blonder hair on her. Much more mature looking – in a good way.

  43. kendra says:

    How many men have used this woman to wipe their azz, then flush her down the toilet?
    Please stop with the ” I’m so beautiful lie” only “dumped, can not hold on to a man, women” think Jennifer is beautiful.

  44. Kisha says:

    She’s pretty and has an awesome bod.

  45. anonymous says:

    Just wait until the Jolie Louis Voitton photo ops come out and put this old lady down, that is when we will see what real beauty is about. What is it going to take for buttterface to understand that Brad Pitt doesn’t want her, he’s been there done that and moved on and up to better.

  46. Liana says:

    Please stop with the ” I’m so beautiful lie” only “dumped, can not hold on to a man, women” think Jennifer is beautiful.
    * * *

    I think she’s beautiful and I have a man. God, the ridiculousness of some statements.

  47. Ruffian9 says:

    So ‘shopped’ it’s barely her.

  48. Amazing as always.

  49. Blue says:

    lol some ppl on here kill me. Seriously like she has “only post these pics when there is something about angelina in the news” in her contracts. Why oh why do people keep bringing this up. Like she cares about what brangelina are doing, they’ve been doing it for years. I think we can all move on. This just boggles my mind. She has no control over when shit is released, plus she has her own movie (gonna bomb)coming out soon.

  50. Blue says:

    i think she has great legs, the pics are so photoshopped (i know she can’t control) so it does look like her but it doesn’t. i wish she would go away though. She’s overrated and undertalented. I haven’t seen her in anything where she was good. Even in Friends she was so so.

  51. Newbie says:

    @Kendra: I think she’s beautiful, and I’ve got a man. Furthermore, I’ve never been dumped (I count myself lucky on that one, yikes). But I wouldn’t trade her lives. There isn’t a celebrity living today or one that ever lived that I’d trade bodies, faces, or lives with. These people are rife with problems aside from their picture-perfect photo ops. I’d rather have my privacy, my decency and my sanity. If they’re so great, why are so many of them boozing and drugging and committing suicide and cheating? Don’t care what people say, their lives seem horrific to me. It would be nice to have extra money like that, but who knows if that doesn’t have something to do with the messes they get themselves into…

  52. kasper says:

    she should be selling toilet paper

  53. honeyv says:

    In the second pic that water looks hilarious! Looks attached in a strange way.. And the ad is more meh than pretty. Too photoshopped. omg i really hate Photoshop I’m so tired of it. We all know how celebs really look, they can’t fool us anymore.

  54. CoffeeTalk says:

    How is it a publicity stunt to have taken photos for the company you represent MONTHS ago and then having the COMPANY publish the photos in order to sell what you represent? Isn’t that just having an endorsement deal?

    She doesn’t decide when Smart Water runs their ads. As soon as they’ve taken the photos, they own them and release them whenever they see fit.

    Can we PLEASE quit with the conspiracy theories regarding this woman? All three of the parties have moved on from this nonsense. It seems the only people who can’t let go are the people who are completely uninvolved.

    I love that her dog’s name is Norman.

    anonymous: She only shows up when she has something to promote i.e. her perfume last week and she’ll be more visible now since she’s got a new movie coming out. Pretty standard for your garden-variety celebrity. Don’t know why you’re so offended when she does it.

  55. Isa says:

    I wouldn’t trade looks with her in a minute. Bank accounts, yes! Looks, no!!!

    The picture of her in a limo looks like an ad for vodka, not water.

  56. Wilson Smith says:

    How many bad movies does a woman have to make before they quit hiring her? If she’s so beautiful why do they have to photoshop her so much?

  57. janna says:

    @wilson, maybe they photoshop her that much cause she’s not that attractive? photoshop is the norm these days.

  58. jemshoes says:

    The entire concept of “smart” water is dumb in and of itself. Why not try this copy line in the ads:

    dumb: because buying bottled water endorsed by a Hollywood celebrity beats drinking ordinary tap water out of the same type of bottle

    or

    smart: because we’re going to make a lot of money out of you convincing you to buy our ordinary bottled water endorsed by a Hollywood celebrity

    😀

  59. lil says:

    second pic looks like avril lavigne.

  60. Lia says:

    Even though she usually comes across as an aimless twit in her interviews and in general stories about her, she does look pretty in those pictures, even though they are photoshopped. She looks good for her age…..

  61. Hakura says:

    @Kaiser“Well, Aniston purchased the apartments under the name “Norman’s Nest Trust” – Norman is her dog. Her dog owns the apartments. Well, her dog’s trust owns the apartments. Odd. I’m sure there’s a business explanation for it, but that story just amused me.”

    Either that, or her standards for ‘men of the house’ has changed drastically. The years since Brad have not been kind.

    Quote“Aniston probably needs to hydrate after doing vodka shots in the back of the limo. Or who knows, the SmartWater bottle could be filled with vodka, like Linnocent fills up her Red Bull cans with… liquid crack, I guess.

    LOL. I really think I’ve seen a picture of Lindsay that looks just like that… Exiting her limo dazed, & sans underwear, like a deer in the headlights with pinprick pupils. (Translation in ‘Innocentese’ – “The *flashing cameras* are why her pupils are dialated! That’s it, The CAMERAS…right…“)

    (Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. xD No offense intended.)

  62. ZenB!tch says:

    @antisara the problem is that I can’t think of a 20something talent. There are younger women like Reese Witherspoon and Angelina but they don’t really look younger.

    I think Aniston is perfect to sell fitness water and yoga pants and sneakers (much better than Kardassian) and anything related to fitness. Fitness is about her body not her face and she is 42 and looks great from the neck down. She chose to not have children for whatever reason as have I and several of my friends. It is a valid choice.

    I will say the Photoshop job is fabulous. She looks beautiful. They gave her a nice nose and the liner/Photoshop combo makes her eyes pop. She almost looks sexy which is something I’ve never seen her do.

    Unfortunately, while she does not look old she is not beautiful without Photoshop.

  63. cristina says:

    right,she is not beautiful at all! only the legs,but I dont like HER!

  64. Camille says:

    Oh, I see that SmartWater have a new model shilling for them. Oh wait. You mean that isn’t a new model? Its who? Jennifer Aniston?? No, it can’t be, it looks nothing like her! 😮

    SW must have hired a new graphic designer with a better grasp of Photoshop. One who doesn’t hate JA and doesn’t make her look like Miss Piggy 😆 . Thank goodness for small mercies eh Aniston? 😉

    @Isa: Hi! 🙂 And I agree with your comment, I wouldn’t trade looks with her either! 😀

  65. Addie says:

    @ Newbie, well put.
    Celeb money – ofcourse.
    Their personal lives – No thanks.

  66. Caz says:

    What #61 said. The continuing greed of this woman staggers me. Hasn’t she made enough millions yet?

  67. Hakura says:

    @ZenB!tch“….much better than Kardassian.”

    LOL. Did you make that up? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that particular (incredibly appropriate) ‘nickname’ xD

    As to Aniston… I know this is the norm nowadays, using Photoshop for everything to the extreme. But if the celeb you hire for these ads isn’t going to look anything like herself after photoshopping anyway, why not save a TON of money & just hire a model?

    So I’d call it a photoshop artwork, loosely based on JA. But it is pretty. I’ve never understood why some people think she’s so gorgeous (to begin with). She’s not UNattractive, of course. But I just don’t see it.

  68. Liana says:

    so, what? She should stop working? She shouldn’t take any endorsement deals that come her way? For crying out loud, she’s an actress. Actresses unfortunately tend to have a limited shelf life in Hollywood and one is smart to make all you can while you’re still in demand.

  69. animac says:

    she is soooo GORGEOUS!!! just an amazingly chic woman. inspiring

  70. barb says:

    I have never understood the popularity of this woman and if the truth be known I am sick to death of the Jennifer/Angelina tug of war….if it even exists, get over it already.I would not use the word beautiful to describe Jennifer…cute/ attractive is fine. In fact she has the type of bone struture that if not photographed at the right angle makes her look like a man in drag.As for physique,we too can look lean and tanned , if we spend our life in a gym with a personal trainer or on a beach in all the best resorts of the world…and have our meals prepared for us every day. As an actress, IMO,her greatest work was Friends and she only has that one character in her…it comes out in every movie she does.So I say she obviously is very lucky and has friends in high places and all the best to her… in what ever it is she does.

  71. dj says:

    That 2nd pic I saw in a mag the other day. Whoever did her eye makeup ought to be fired. It looks like she has been out all night (too much dark eyeshadow under her eyes). Maybe that is the idea the photographer was going for? Otherwise, for a 40ish woman so not a good look.

  72. Katzensnacks says:

    Pretty great post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your weblog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing in your rss feed and I’m hoping you write once more soon!
