Jennifer Aniston is always good for a real estate p0rn story, especially over the past few years when it seems like Aniston has really been getting into the real estate market in a big way. In the past year she bought two Manhattan condos worth millions, with the idea that she would make the condos into one huge super-apartment, only to end up selling the properties at a $500,000 loss. She also sold her one-bedroom Beverly Hills home – which she had spent YEARS renovating – last year. She sold that property at a massive profit.
Anyway, when Justin Theroux and Jennifer decided to move back to LA, Aniston laid down some serious cash for a Bel Air mansion, which, as you can guess, is already being extensively renovated, which will probably add several million more to the cost. So what can Jen and Justin do while their new love nest is being fixed up into Aniston’s idealized shag-pad? Well, they could continue to shell out $20,000 a month in hotel bills… or they could just rent yet another house. Because why not? The Mail has photos of JustJen’s latest (temporary) real estate. Nice digs!
As a place to live while your lavish estate is renovated, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux aren’t doing too badly. The loved up couple have just rented a gorgeous Beverly Hills home at a cost of $40,000 a month until their main house is ready.
Their new mansion being an 8,500 square foot, $21 million palatial palace complete with a vineyard and views of the Pacific Ocean. But in the meantime they will have to settle for five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms in a somewhat smaller space.
The Hal Levitt-designed exteriors have been masterfully updated as part of a meticulous renovation. This home also has the modern convenience of RTI Smart Home technology and state of the art home theater/entertainment system blends with the highest quality craftsmanship and materials. The Patrick Blanc living wall entices as you walk across the honed basalt entry, suspended above cascading water features, to approach the impressive hand-carved front door.
The interiors and exteriors offer the best of California living: ocean and city views, entertainer-friendly layout with Lynx outdoor cooking area, zero-edge pool with 18 feet deep lounge area and spa. Rooms include stone-lined temperature controlled wine cellar; bar with custom cabinetry, walnut shelving and LED glass lighting installation.
The Bulthaup kitchen has stunning Monobloc stainless steel island, floating appliance cubes, warm bronze and striped walnut cabinetry, and appliances by Miele and Leibherr. The master suite has custom walnut closets and is complete with his and hers baths featuring book-matched Calcutta Borghini marble, Ann Sacks tiles, heated flooring, steam shower, and private outdoor shower.

That all sounds really amazing, doesn’t it? But can you even fathom RENTING a place for $40,000 a month? You can’t even rationalize that by saying, “Oh, it’s an investment.” It’s not an investment. You’re just renting. You’re just blowing through tens of thousands of dollars a month because your multi-million-dollar villa is facing extreme renovations. I mean… it’s her money, she can do whatever she wants with it and God bless. But it does seem very excessive.

must be nice?
Meanwhile in Africa…
Kinda like huge galas for show, fleets of Bentleys, multi-million dollar athletic salaries, and half-million dollar engagement rings.
Dinah needs a life, it’s been 7 years hon. Let it go. You do know don’t you, that every single critique of Jen Anuston, is allowed to stand alone/on it’s own, without some still bitter cat lady squawking and screaming about ‘Brangelina.’ Why do you insist on comparing two things, that aren’t even in the same league. At least switch it up, and compare Aniston to Patricia Heaton, or Sarah Jessica Parker, or Courtney Cox. Continuing this ‘Team’ nonsense going on 8 years later, just solidifies the common acceptance, that Aniston is of NO relevance at all without the Brangelina coattails…do Aniston a favor, and push her off the coattail – let her stand or fall on her own two feet.
@ Fact-ette,
I can only surmise by your response that you are a Brangeloonie. Let me clarify reality for you. I think Anniston is, well, a little mediocre, girl- next- doorish, but reasonable comedic actress. As for Jolie, she is stunning, but a flat actress. So you see, the end result is essentially neutral.
I chose my wording in generalities in the prior comment- delineating many of Hollywood’s/ USA’s excesses- clearly not singling out one person or practice.
Unfortunate that you took it as team warfare, which your rampant ad hominem attacks at me and some celebrity you unlikely know clearly indicate.
Hope your day improves from this point.
Dinah, you’re doing it again. Please get it through your Angelina obsessed brain (seriously, you sound like Chelsea Twaht-ler, Aniston’s cable tv wh*re & pit bull) – Aniston being an ugly, boring, tv schmoe who makes banal horrid rom coms, have NOTHING to do with Angelina Jolie, or Brad Pitt. It doesn’t matter what you think of them, people in the world do not have to think of Aniston, like a boil on the hind end quarters of a blue whale…unlike the boil, Aniston doesn’t have to go where the Brangelina blue whale goes. She DOES indeed have free will. For her own dignity, stop this crazy train, it does her, nor the deluded minions who wish she wasn’t an aged out TV sit-com ensemble player, to compare/contrast her with OSCAR WINNER ANGELINA JOLIE. What you think of Angelina’s acting is irrelevant – just like an escaped mental patient might think a Hyundai is a better car than a Bentley, or that ‘pink slime,’ is better than filet mignon…it’s a FOREGONE conclusion by almost every sane consensus in the universe, that tv hack Aniston, has not, is not, nor will she EVER be, in the same league as movie star Angelina Jolie….you might as well answer every criticism of Elizabeth Taylor by comparing her career to actress’s career who played Alice the Housekeeper on The Brady Bunch. Comparing ‘Rachel Green’ to Angelina Jolie is the same, LAUGHABLE dammn, thing. Seriously, Aniston can’t even stack up against Heigl, or SJP, or helll, even Kudrow on her own TV show. Put down THE PIPE! Now please… Get a life, and MOVE ON.
Is this coming from the same originalkitten that brought up some 8 year Tabloid rumor verbatim on the JP thread?
If not, my bad.
@fact-ette
Love it. You’re giving Michael K a run for his money.
Brought up some 8 year old rumor? Honey, with all due respect-WTF are you talking about? I don’t “bring up rumors” when it comes to celebrities because well, I’m not that invested. So yes, you are very, very confused. St John’s wort-it can really help improve memory…
Like I said my bad if it wasn’t the originalkitten. It wasn’t you, it was the originaltiffany..
As excessive as the travelling Brangelina circus?
Ah… Burn. =P
Why bring them into this? OH YEAH
Girl is boring and superficial and the only interesting thing about her is the man that dumped her a decade ago and his family. 😉
They Brad/Angie didn’t buy the estate. So that was just tabloid lies.. and usually when they travel it is for WORK..like why they are in London.
Why the need to bring them into it at all. They are in London because Angie is working. The whole “traveling circus crack is silly. They take their children/family with them. I quite sure if Angie was in London without Brad or kids the comments would be they are breaking or there are problems. Seriously I really don’t give a rats ass about how people choose to spend their money and how.
@asli. You miss the point. Yes, they can do whatever they want with their money, we all agree. But why do her fans insist on juxtapositioning her criticism, and offering up Brangelina examples (‘Waaaa – b-b-but, oh yeah…well, see…but…B-B-Brangelina did it TOO, so there!!’) It just makes Aniston and all of her so-called ‘fans,’ look like stalking coattail riders with no lives.
Asli-don’t bother trying to reason with a Loon. Such hypocrisy. As I said on the thread about the 500K engagement ring, excessive displays of wealth are always off-putting to me (my opinion). That being said, if the general consensus is “It’s their money they can spend it how they want” then why is Aniston shamed in this scenario and Brange is lauded? Because these people are obsessed fans that don’t put any emphasis on logic or rationale.
Can’t disagree with that 🙂 !!
@ Asli-
Save your breath. You can’t speak rationally to the irrational.
Best,
Dinah
Hi Asli! 🙂
As I always say (and once again it bears repeating) I like Brad Pitt and Angelina but I detest their rabid fanbase. Odd that a couple that seems to have a solid relationship/good head on their shoulders and that contribute so much would attract the most irrational BAT-shit hypocritical legion of fans. To the the ones calling others here “losers”- I’m pretty certain that a person who spends that much time/energy towards hating a celeb that they will never know/meet is the DEFINITION of a loser. Or at least someone is dire need of therapy, a beer, a good lay or maybe all of the above..
Can’t help it huh, even after almost 8 years, and JA saying she wants this tabloid false whatever to stop. Oh well some are just stuck in idiot-cy mode and can’t dig themselves out LOL.
I don’t know why she feels the need to move and not enjoy a beautiful home she creates. The LA home she sold after years of very expensive renovation and had featured in a mag would have been my home for life if I could afford it. Yes she made a profit, but then she bought the places in NYC, then sold them, then bought another huge place in LA which is now under extensive construction, while renting for more than many make in a year if they are lucky enough to have a job. SIGH.
What’s even more bizarre is that I read her younger half-brother, Alex, lives in a van and is homeless. Think she’d shell out a teensy bit to buy him an RV, or a little something? Odd….
@kira, the story about her brother was covered in CB, and it sounds like it’s his choice to live a transient life in a van on the beach – their father had set him up in an apartment in Santa Cruz.
Please, this ish’s elderly mother had to go to the free clinic for indigents because ol’ anuston, wouldn’t do the right thing by her estranged ill mother. Who are ya fooling?
@Sofia. Nowhere in the article did it say the father, or anyone else, was paying for his anything. Mostly, the article reported how his father helped him move his things, and they were picking through the garbage can for scraps or something. Strange family…
You know, you just prove what a coattailing parasite anuston and her fanbase are, when you spit bile over a 7 year old divorce, and a man, Rachel Green says she’ll love, and admire forever..it makes you look as desperate and stupid as we all know she is. I mean, why the biting vicious anger over 3 kajillionaires, especially 2, known for giving back a lot of there’s to the less fortunate. Give it a rest, be glad Anuston’s finally a captured a man(I think), albeit an unknown one that looks like a miniature balding ted bundy.
@Asli, who wrote: “Because they just bought that multi-million dollar estate in London …”
The Gossipcop says the rumor that Brad and Angie bought property in London is just that … an unsubstantiated rumor.
http://www.gossipcop.com/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-london-mansion-whornes-place-cost-price/
Wow. Just wow.
Money is changing hands, at least.
She is so odd. Is she flipping houses or just wasting money?
Did y notice how The skin under her chin is so pulled? Girl had a facelift or chin lipo for sure!
That might explain the large scarf she wore around her neck for a while. I think she had eye work done at the same time, which would explain those large dark glasses she sported for a while (along with the scarf) during her brief stay in NYC with Justin.
Nope- I’m in my mid-upper forties & I can tell you firsthand that look is the loss of elasticity. First buh-bye muscle tone, then hello under-the-chin-chub, then the skin just stretches & lets it all hang out. Sigh.
co-sigh haha
odearmyeyes! not the stereogram-dress pics again 🙁
i much prefer the hollywood star pics or the NY pics or the airport pics.
That’s a hilarious picture of Mr. Jen. Looks like the eyebrows have been freshly waxed. He also looks a lot younger than her.
Love my girl. Go Jennier.
Holy pooper, I can’t imagine having that kind of money to blow on rent. My mortgage is $700 a month and we can barely afford that.
good god, that’s what i was thinking. our rent is insanely high, and stresses me out every month, these people just have a different freaking reality. and not that they even work “hard” for the money – i mean, is doing a rom-com hard work? probably more tedious than anything. it’s strange what we value as a society.
This is fucked up. I know she can spend her money how ever she wants, but that is so wasteful and ridiculous.
She’s a giant idiot and so’s her boyfriend.
ditto. such a gross waste of money.
I wonder if the relationship will make it past the renovations. Does Jennifer have anything to promote soon? That usually signals a change in man.
^^^ so this 🙂
The ocean view is the only thing I find attractive in that description of the rental. Her money, hers to do what she wants with it but is it me, or does she seem to do little else other than move in, move out, sell, buy, refurbish and stay in hotels? I don’t even think of her as an actress anymore. It just seems such a boring life for someone who has the means to do anything she wants. If I had her money, I’d be off exploring every corner of the globe and grabbing every experience going, not faffing about with property that I never get the chance to properly enjoy.
she seems to like interior design. wasn’t she featured in Architecture Digest of some sort? maybe she likes the refurbishment challenge. and trading up the property ladder. although, of course, she’s already on the top rungs of said ladder.
btw, she reminds me of my sister. she always liked to play dollhouses and draw pictures. and one day she ended up marrying a well-to-do guy and she indulges in interior designing her own home. i can’t even remember how many times she renovated her house over her now-17.5 years of marriage.
i’m not complaining though. i often get first pick on the stuff she wants to change. 🙂
But does she have an actual interest in interior design? I don’t recall her ever talking about it (although to be fair, I don’t pay much attention.) I know her house featured in AD (it had a very dated and unlived in feel about it imo) – but what she’s been doing over the last year or so seems more about cold buying/selling – or someone not really knowing what she’s looking for – rather than someone actively involved in a passion for creating beautiful spaces.
But just my perception, I could be way off. 🙂
Not everyone has the travel bug. If she likes the process of fixing up houses, tmakes by not indulge in real estate.
But she’s said herself she’d really love to travel. In an interview last year, I remember it, and how she was determined to finally make time for it. And where has she travelled to since then? New York.
That’s what I don’t get with her, she talks the talk in interviews but… she doesn’t seem to have much real passion for actually doing anything.
ETA: (from this site feb 2011)
On her resolution this year.
“For instance, I want to travel for fun, and I’ve been saying that for years. I’ve made room for it this year.”
That’s nothing compared to what Brangelina spends on housing they don’t even live in
Umm this article is about Jen. Can we keep the focus on Jen for once? So tired of comparisons of Jen and her ex. It’s been a gajillion years already!
Nope, impossible. The ‘loonies are out full force up & down thread. Ad hominem attacks with abandon are de riguer here.
What Dinah means is, any and all critiques of Jennifer Aniston, be it her horrible movies, excrutiatingly dull interviews, or taste in companions, will automatically be met with a similar critique of ‘Brangelina,’ due to the Aniston brigades intense paranoia about them, as well as the undying bitterness & envy they evoke. Repeat after me: It’s all Brangelina’s fault, forever more, to infinity and beyond. Aniston will be checking out of the tv schmoe’s assistant living compound, and Brangeline, grandparents 20 times over, and her base of cat ladies will STILL be excoriating Brad Pitt. It’s pathetic and sad.
YOU do realize that the housing for them is when they are working on a film. More so when it is a long film shoot. Other than that they don’t Rent homes. They are either in LA or France. Why they are always brought up is silly. Other than when they are working for months they are housed in a hotel.
But of course they are mentioned oh doesn’t matter does it. We all knew they would be.
…and how much did the estates Vince Vaughn owns cost? How about John Mayer’s penthouses? How much was Ted Bundeaux’s rent in NYC – was it his, or that stylist girlfriend that he lived with for 14 years, before Aniston and her PR rep got him an inst-fame contract for being her current rent-a-date? How about Scott Stubin’s real estate? Paul Sculfor’s? The guy from cougar town who called her a sport fck? Or any of the OTHER 1001 other wealthy to fairly well off dudes she’s been with in the last 100 years, that none of you Anuston cheerleaders care about AT ALL because you’re still so obsessed with movie star ‘BRAD PITT.’ Carry on, losers.
This must be what love feels like.
taking it back at the poster does not hide the truth in her comment. May I add Tate Donovan, the cornrow musician guy adam Duritz, and probably Gerard Butler? Why not?
If there are going to be historian trolls let’s compare to her whole history, I am too lazy to look at that “Who’s dated who” site tho, but you probably get the point.
@ TVHackiston-For someone who purports to hate Aniston you sure seem to know a helluva lot about her. I didn’t know half the names/details you mentioned but then again, I’m no Aniston fan. Regardless, I’m sure her PR people will thank you for driving up the hits on celeblog posting about her.
is she really going to rent this place? now that i’ve read the whole article, it really reads like a home commercial…. sooo brand-droppy. it’s like namedrop in every sales-pitch-perfect paragraph, interweaved with catalog-ready photographs. it’s like that previous “expensive beauty regime” article which she ended up having to shoot down.
i know right?
I’m MORE interested in where the woman is these days or why she’s not been seen in a while. Strange, very strange….
There’s a paparazzzi video of her and Justin leaving some store in LA this weekend.
Do you have the link?
Yep, I saw it too. She’s skinnier and blonder than ever. Sorry fanistons. I know how hopeful you get about her beating that biological clock when she seemingly stays shut-in for a week or two, but I think going underground had more to do with that last movie dud of hers ‘Wonderbutt,’ with the new boyfriend earning two cents at the box office. That had to sting, especially since it was hyped up the wazoo, and she even went so far as to put the boyfriend on display to the world, even had him white man breakdance (helloooo awkward!), and started hyping her new man – the world responded back, ‘we don’t give a fook, please go away!’ So she did, for a while – it had to be embarrassing. Now she’s gradually making a re-entry, trying to get new roles, in new duds, to torture us…you know, the banal useless crap she usually does.
@Coreyt
You are funny, I can’t stop laughing 😆
Do I find this wasteful and somewhat obscene? Yes. But then again: it’s her money…*shrugs*
Now, on to more important things: the pictures. That second picture of Aniston has to be one of the worst (if not *THE* worst) picture ever taken of her (from her, of hers?). The last one, featuring Mr. Aniston, is priceless.
Her harsh facial features, thick neck and leather skin are disgusting to me. She always reminds me of those female body builders face, neck and skin wise.
And that second picture is one of the worst one : she looks witchy.
To be perfectly honest, there are some episodes of Friends where I think she looked unconventionally cute (especially that one where Phoebe pretends to be a Swedish masseuse).
She should have stopped having nose jobs right there. Her old nose — or, at least, the one she had during Friends’s 7th season — was wider but looked more proportional to the rest of her face. This super small one makes her jaw look bigger (I already said that here on Celebitchy).
I think her big schnoz, low forehead, lower cheekbones and beady eyes would have served her well into her old age – her features and that somewhat ethnic look she had, gave her character, which she sorely needs to fake like she has… but since ‘he that shall not be named,’ decided to move on and get a life heading into a decade ago…she’s been bound and determined to turn herself into Laura Linney’s older sister.
So true, TVhackiston….And I think LL is Beyonce’s goal too. I’m not making fun of LL exactly—I look like Laura Linney/Bridget Fonda combo. White bread. I get confused why everyone wants to look the same. It’s not that great on this side.
Eve and Hipocrisy: I agree with you both 100%.
As for this story; meh *shrugs*, it’s her $, she can do what she likes with it.
yeah so what?
and yeah ofcourse brad aj get brought up because hello? try finding one of their threads without her name being dropped in there either…
And an apt comparison considering their expenditures and fuel costs and carbon footprint in general…
The Brange have long ago established their own identity.
What is Aniston’s identity today? Why is she relevant?
If you keep bringing up the Brange, it is as if she is relevant because of being dumped and not because of her craft as an actress or any other outstanding personality.
If her most outstanding quality is that she has money…well, people will always judge you by what you do with your money and check how you made your money.
We know who’s pay the rent. Certainly not Eddie Munster.
Or, as I like to call him…Ted Bund-eaux. Before you call me a bish, she’s the one who said he looks like a serial killer. He and his pal Scary Richardson together?? Ugh…shudder.
Eddie Munster…LMFAO…Jen is very high maintenence, but she supports herself financially. Same with Madonna. Both women are plastic surgery junkies. Smart businesswomen, but their personal lives are a disaster.
he does NOT seem like the LA hollywood hills type at all. did she have him hypnotized? NY and LA living are vastly different–worlds apart. he was a man about town in the big city and now he’s perched up on a hill looking down at a city? hell no, I say he goes stir crazy soon enough. no matter how lavish the digs–and this house feels cold and stark!
Oh honey. Don’t you know, there are some people who will sacrifice ANYTHING to become famous – apparently he may be one of them. Sold, to the highest bidder. The reason why we know who he is now, is the same reason we know who Kris Humphries and Samantha Ronson are. That means a lot to him, and obviously he’ll gladly give up YEARS of anonymity, a longtime girlfriend, and his old digs, to have what other famewh*res have…notoriety, fame, etc. As Dave Chappelle said, ‘You can get famous, but you can’t get unfamous.’ All he needed was a strategic move with a tabloid fixture – bam. done.
Jennifer Anniston made $1 million per episode her last 2 seasons on Friends. That’s $44 million. Considering her subsequent income has also been in the many millions, $40 thousand is not out of line. It’s a matter of percentage of earnings.
Logic and reason have no place here. Any story related to Anniston or the Pitts are crazy central on this site. The comments are filled with inane psycho talk along the lines of anything that Jen A does is shallow, vain, and worthless and anything related to the soon-to-be Pitts is wonderful, ideallic, selfless and a gift to humanity. If you don’t find these crazies’ delusions amusing, avoid these stories like the plague. They obviously get more activity fron the Jen obsessed, which is why the unflattering pictures are highlighted.
YUP.
“Unflattering pictures?”
Seriously? Her nose is really that big. And what type of radiant skin are you expecting from a woman who tans and smokes regularly for over 20 years? You already know that she will never be a spokesperson for the American Lung Association. Sheesh!!!!
Her candid shots are never pretty because… it is what it is. Just ignore reality and feast your eyes only on pictures of her in magazines.
She is starting to get those wrinkles above her lip that aging smokers usually get.
I’ve lived in NYC, DC & LA. They are vastly different in many respects. I prefer CA because of the toned down pace. I’ve discovered it’s not where you’re at, it’s who you’re with.
ITA.
ive been reading ur posts for almost a year now…and i have enjoyed most of them …However, the only thing that annoys the hell out of me is the fact that you seem to have a huge issue with jennifer anniston!!! to the point where your comments and arguments seem unfair and they more or less discredit your opinion! i understand that you like angelina jolie! every one is entitled to their opinion… i dnt hate either of them…(although i must admit i slightly favor jenn aniston)!!!!! the reason im writing this comment is simply because it seems that your hatred for jenn has come to such extremes where you feel you need to post the ugliest picture you have of her!!!!! Nways keep up the good work and tone down the huge grudge!!!
It’s also food for the same haters that call her boring and irrelevant.
I think she looks fine in pic.1 but yeah, agree, the other pic is unnecessary and does feed the loons.
There’s a definite mean-girling effort with those pics.
@ Jesstar:
I agree with you (about that picture being chosen for a reason). But I’d have appreciated if you hadn’t generalized in your comments (specifically talking about the reply to HannaF above) — not every Jolie fan behaves so enthusiastically (so to speak) like some people in this particular thread.
For instance, I don’t like being called an unreasonable “loon” when I am anything but. And there are Jolie-Pitt fans I’d rather not be associated with.
P.S.: You see, I even posted a complimentary comment about her looks (but it got lost in the sea of hatred).
That’s kinda the point. The snark gets lost in the crazy talk. I find this site fun except when it comes to these posts. The whole topic is just (sorry to say this) really dated. Just old and not fun. All celebrities are snark worthy, the are in a ridiculous business, but this is tired. But, you can’t snark on JA’s noses without being called a hater or on AJ’s noses without being hated on. It takes up space instead of good, fun gossip. Ryan & Blake? That can’t be all good. Lilo & Sam back together? Gossip gold! Demi clean enough for Xfactor? Lemme know. Leanne’s latest crazy twit(ter), come on let’s make fun of her! Can it just be recent please?
Yara,
Many of us long-time posters have made the same observations that you have. *sigh* It isn’t going to change here. If there’s an unflattering photo of Jen or Justin this site will use it everytime. In fact, if you note a particularly bad one you can bet it will be re-used repeatedly here.
There is this though. The comments on Anniston by people who truly despise her are kind of eye-rollingly funny. If you look at it through the prism of “who can’t wait to say how boring/vapid/ugly/unpopular/coattailing riding” she supposedly is, it’s kind of amusing. She bores some people to death but they really love to hate her. She’s like that character from a tv show that people love to bitch about for them. As she really is out of the limelight right now, their kinda dyin’ for new material to work with!
@ Kara Ann:
But you have to admit that the very same thing goes for Jolie-Pitt related threads, right?
Hey Eve :),
I think the Brand “stories” posted here generally have a positive spin b/c the writers are, I believe, self-confessed card-carrying loonies (not using this derogatorily, I think they’ve actually said that).
As far as posters, I do agree with you! Each “team” seems to have some fans that are irrational and illogical. Actually I don’t mind so much seeing that in a Brand fan but it’s embarrassing, by association, to see it in a Jen fan! Know what I mean?
I follow some of the Brand posts b/c sometimes they are an interesting couple. AJ alone presents an intersting character study b/c she has undergone quite a transformation as far as her public persona. But if Jen is so uninteresting to people, why follow her?
Anistonisnot hated– she is ridiculed. There is a difference!
Her fans get bitch slapped for trying to defend a woman who has provided too many conflicting and dubious remarks or has made statments that she cannot back up. That, and yes, the COATTAILING.
Again, can Aniston stand on her own two feet and maintain relevancy without the mention of her ex-husband or his soon-to-be wife? Because their having 6 children has not worked. Jenfans are still saying she is the only Mrs. Pitt. Maybe not this site, but there are other sites that are mad as hell Brad and Angie are getting married.
@ Kara Ann and Jesstar:
My only problem with all this is: I wish the same people who get angry at the way Aniston is supposedly treated here would stand up for Jolie too — but they don’t.
In fact, it seems that the righteous indignation only comes out in support of Aniston. Any criticism of Jolie seems to be fair game.
Kaiser is indeed a self-proclaimed fan of the Jolie-Pitts, but she also has every right to be one: this is her blog (and Celebitchy’s, obviously). I do, however, think she writes plenty of posts criticizing Jolie — it doesn’t seem she only writes positive ones.
Finally, I understand the criticism (about the fact her posts are probably biased) — when we like someone we feel the need to protect them even if we don’t know them personally — but what I often see here goes beyond that. There are people here on Celebitchy, particularly on Aniston threads, simply trying to dictate the way she writes her own damn blog. And I will always be against that.
Oh give it a rest.
Kaiser puts up plenty of terrible pictures of AJ…like with her skin looking really shiny and greasy, or straight on pictures that make her nose look big.
Plus, people like bondeonthedock and spinner and maguita are always irrationally ragging on AJ no matter what.
If you hate it so much go to Female First or something – they’re anti Jolie, neutral/positive Jen.
If you’re going to make an accusation at least make it the truth.
@blonde: What did she say that wasn’t true?
She’s made a lot of money and doesn’t really have anything to spend it on except herself. Personal maintenance and houses. And Mr. Aniston’s maintenance. Those eyebrows don’t shape themselves.
😆
I like Jen Aniston. If people find her boring and irrelevant then it would probably be wise to ignore her. Of course, she isn’t going away to please that group b/c, like it or not, she has a substantial fan base.
Aniston brings this stuff to the table:
1. light comedic fare
2. a genuinely funny personality in interviews
3. She’s relatable through purely aging (she does it well), she’s single (many women her age are), she’s childless (many women older and younger are). Maybe not despite, but b/c of thse things, she’s happy.
With Aniston it’s personality thing, either you like her or you don’t. Many do as she’s just a funny girlfriend type. If she’s boring and irrelevant to you, ignore her. It’s so easy.
Chacun a son gout. I don’t find her “genuinely funny” in interviews or anywhere else. I find her vapid and annoying. She never says anything of substance.
Thank you. This poster Kara Ann is not being truthful, IMO. It’s a well known FACT in the industry re talk show circuit, getting Aniston to say anything even remotely interesting, witty or humorous in interviews is like teaching a prairie dog how to put pants on. Howard Stern once did an entire 5 minute riff on a recent Letterman appearance of hers, that was the most excrutiating, painful interview ever. She’s a wary, leery scared interviewee who is always on guard – it makes for bad tv, that is utterly void of spontaneity. When you consider she’s gotten paid on tv for being in ensemble comedies for her entire career, you soon realize what she brings to the table – and it’s not talent…it’s a hairdo, and erect nipples that she made a point to show off through the entire 90s. She’s one of the more vacuous, people in Hollywood. Got a great scam going though (a pretend war with Brangelina, enlisting Chelsea Handjob, who shares her same PR flack, and was hired specifically to play into that).
Janet – looking to learn life lessons from multi-millionaire celebrities are you?
I’m pretty sure Kara Ann said to each her/his own and answered why she likes her personally. kara – ditto on your reasons for liking her. It’s just a matter of what you are looking for in celebrities. Celebrity is very much about personality and whether people are interested or like that personality. Not everyone will. But clearly enough people like her and have always liked her.
Of course the non-fans outnumber the fans on the JA threads here -doesn’t stop them from thinking for some bizarre reason they are under SIEGE and they are this small minority who has to speak up to defend their camp. Such drama. What else can you expect?
Take hackiston up there – has dedicted his/her name to aniston and comments are as shallow/crude as possible,and after all that, apparently the ‘jenhens’ are the crazies.
and fact-ette – letterman is creepy. sorry. and of course she’s on guard. the crapper she’s been through. and she’s acknowledged it as well recently about how guarded she is. still find her endearing.
Proth — I might find her reticence “endearing” in a 20 year old. But for pete’s sake, this woman is over 40. You’d think at her age she would have developed enough poise to be comfortable during an interview, not punctuating every sentence with “uh… yeah… um… well… yanno…” and twirling her hair every ten seconds like a teenager. She doesn’t give the impression of being “cute” or “adorable” or “endearing”; she gives the impression of being a ditzy air-head and at her age, believe me it is none of the above.
And her face is not aging well—How would we even know? Like most of Hollywood, Jen’s mug is CHOCK-FULL of fillers, and she’s been cut more than a few times.
And I think most of us would be in the same physical shape exactly if our 40-hour, main ‘career’ was to exercise and get facials & massages most of every year.
Jen deserves aging accolades only for finding a very subtle surgeon. What a role model. I’m verklempt.
To all those posters that don’t agree with me, I don’t mind. We all have opinions and our personal likes/dislikes.
@Fact-ette, Just because I have a different opinion than you doesn’t make me dishonest. I am giving my truthful opinion on why I like her. You are giving your opinion on why you don’t. It doesn’t make either of us dishonest.
I don’t know that quoting what is well-known in the industry has to do with anything. For instance, Howard Stern may have done a riff on her, so? It could even have been funny although I don’t care for him. IMO, any HW star is fair game for comedians. There have been hilarious skits on SNL about everyone from Brit Spears to Beyonce to the Brange. It’s for entertainment and comedic purposes.
Again, in general, it’s just about different likes/dislikes. Nor do I think that liking or disliking a any certain celebrity is some great insight into a person’s psyche. It’s about entertaimment, enjoyment, and fun! No need to take it so seriously, little less personally.
Kara Ann- Run. Run fast. You won’t last long around here. These people don’t take kindly to sanity! 🙂
Hey Original Kitten,
I know your right. I’ve been posting/reading here for quite awhile. I know that the “stories” posted here about Aniston just play to a very critical dismissive portrait of Aniston as some would like for her to be.
I’ll just keep my sense of humor and enjoy! Hope you do the same!
@proth, thanks for explaining what I was trying to say.
hahaha…..is it hard to accept ….she is not beautiful?yo!! Nancy Aniston said so….
She is neither beautiful nor funny, which is why I continuously question her relevance.
Apparently, neither her personality, “bangin’ bawdy” nor her “funny character” were not enticing enough for these posters to pay $10-$12 to see her and Justin in Wanderbust.
They say she is wonderful but won’t see her in a movie.
They say she is funny; but when was the last time she was funny in interview or in a movie scene? How come she was not selected for Bridesmaids? Did she finally win a People’s Choice Award this year for her film work? In interview, she chokes on her words, stutters or lacks the confidence to stand her ground and stand firm behind an opinion. Take that back, she IS firm about eating her daily chicken salad intake, facials and yoga.
She wouldn’t have half the fans she has now if it weren’t for the victim sympathy she parlayed for 7 years because a man got sick and tired sitting on the couch smoking weed with her.
The hypocrisy of her fans IS the entertainment for the JP fans. That, and her unjustified zest to continuously aim for movie stardom.
They also did run out and buy her perfume or watch her directorial debut on Lifetime.
OOps. didn’t run out and buy her perfume
she’s not going to be able to keep him by spending millions. ane lets not forget all the starving people in the world…
Why ever would one invest so much money in California? Did she not get the memo from Governor Brown? The state is $16 billion in the hole and people/corpartions are fleeing. She is not a smart investor.
Sad but so true and I still love the once Golden State which is no more. Investors are fleeing, many to NYC.
Long-time lurker, first time poster!
It does seem a bit excessive to spend that much money to rent but celebrities are on a different planet to us mere mortals money-wise so it’s hard for us to comprehend I think. Saying that, I really like Jennifer and I’m happy for her. She’s got a really great sense of humour and always comes across as very self-deprecating in interviews. Her and Justin just seem like a really nice couple. Justin’s a very talented and funny writer too. Tropic of Thunder is comedy gold!
In response to people calling her shallow, I don’t really think that’s fair. Just because she likes talking about yoga and her diet in interviews, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have more to say in private to her friends/family. Hey, I talk about yoga and diets and I don’t consider myself shallow!
Her comments reveal what’s going on with her. Dont’ blame the tabloids. Her direct quotes are why she is ridiculed. She doesn’t have much to say about anything. And this is largely so because she wasn’t doing much between 2005-2010, and it showed. Let me clarify, she was in movies but most of them (HER role, that is) were unremarkable.
So when you have nothing to say about the world around you and only you run your mouth like diarrhea when your feelings are hurt (Brad and Angie)…or you state in interview that you put on mascara to drastically change your look for a role… or you befriend Chelsea and then said BFF invites you on her show and trashes your ex’s girlfriend each time…or you date John Mayer and he dumps you 1 week after you see your ex- with his new girlfriend in public… or you tell the world that you save your “husband’s” voicemails in 2009 when you divorced in 2005…or you have Huvane work overtime to plant and deny her fake love life progression…
You just may be called to the carpet about what you say and why you are saying it.
Tropic Thunder was awesome. As far as people calling her shallow/vapid: I definitely don’t see her as much of a deep thinker and I hate all the rom-coms she seems to favor but she is a ACTOR. She’s not a philosopher or a politician. Why does she have to be deep? People ask her questions about her body, diet and appearance all the time. She answers the questions, period. If someone asks her what her yoga routine is she supposed to suddenly segway into a discussion about international trade policy or the genocide in Uganda? FFS
Exactly. I don’t think she’s one of the world’s most intellectual people either. But as you said, it’s not her job to be. And I like that she doesn’t pontificate about things she knows nothing about, like some celebrities tend to do. I’d say her life is pretty simplistic and she doesn’t worry much about the world around her. Pretty much like most of the human population if you ask me!
That’s why her and Brad (sorry to bring him up!!) were never going to work I think. He seems like a deep thinker and so does Angelina. They’re much better suited it has to be said.
Exactly. ITA. Some posters pointed out that she is a timid interviewee with her walls up (which might be true-who knows?) but I don’t see that at all. From my perspective she acts like a lot of my family members out in LA/SoCal. She just seems to have the Cali mellowness and passive, laidback way of behaving. I don’t know…I guess I’ll never see why she always gets so crucified.
There is and never were a genocide in Uganda. There were successive military coups, famous one being the one that brought the infamous Idi Amin Dada into power, then removed by Tanzanias’ army before Obote and now Museveni all took power by force. Maybe you think about Rwanda in 1994 or Burundi in 1972.
As for Jen Aniston being shallow, she is and it has nothing to do with what she knows about international politics.
She is in the same level as a Kardashian for me and unable to have a decent adult conversation about a matter that is moderately profound. I remembered when she was asked to expose her views about insimination in relation to the Switch and she looked totally terrified, slipping on her words, behing incoherent.
Outside hair, yoga, self help books and diet, she doesn’t seem to be interested in mature stuff and is inarticulate. She would fit perfectly in a gossip girl teen group in highschool while would feel overwhelmed at a students meeting among students age barely 18.
She is a bimbo like many in Hollywood just like most women that douche dated, MAYER…Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Jennfier ‘Lust’ Hewitt…All the same brainwise.
Yoweri Museveni has been accused of masterminding a secret genocide in Northern Uganda that has not been largely reported on as the genocide mafia has gone out of their way to conceal this. According to several reports, he has placed more than 2 million Ugandans in concentration camps.
Yes we who are often on the board here know how you feel, Hypocrisy. Not sure why it even matters so much to you. Personally, I have several friends who don’t give a shit about matters of the world/politics but I don’t look down on them for it. They are good people who do the right thing and posess positive qualities even if they’re not traveling to foreign countries trying to save the world. Different strokes for different folks. But I guess if it makes you feel better/superior for it then more power to ya.
Maybe she reacted that way when asked about artificial insemination because it’s a sensitive topic for her? Especially when there’s constant speculation in the media about when she’s going to get pregnant. But I agree that she’s not hugely articulate sometimes in interviews. I suppose I just find that endearing.
Also, found this link about something she said regarding single parents. So she does speak out about important things at times and does appear to have an opinion.

Her problem isn’t her lack of knowledge; she simply doesn’t seem to care about anything outside of her very narrow comfort zone. And someone with her resources should be expanding her boundaries. Take a trip around the world and spend time learning about different people and cultures. Read something beside self-help books. She goes to the same places and does the same things over and over, and it makes her a very boring person. I’d hate to be stuck next to her at a dinner party.
I don’t have a problem if she’s doesn’t want to donate her time and money to charity, not a world traveler, or come off as a bimbo during interviews. It’s the mean girl aspect of her personality along with her croonie Handijob I detest. She also comes off as a stalker “I still save voicemail messages from my husband”, not ex-husband who left her 4 years earlier and has six children with another woman.. She and Halle Berry are sociopaths. Yes, I said it.
@guest: I don’t know about “sociopath”, that’s a pretty strong term, but definitely mean in a sneaky kind of way, using her friends as her personal pit bulls to do all her dirty work, meanwhile acting like Miss Goody Two-Shoes. It’s not fooling anyone but her most die-hard fans any more.
Hi Asli…I am thinking you are my old friend who used to comment on FYB?? Is that true?
Well, real estate porn is the best kind in this economy. You get to drool over amazing living accommodations you’d never get a chance of even glimpsing.
On a different note, as Aniston is getting on in age what will she star in? How much longer can she do the rom-com thing? Because it’s become pretty obvious it’s the only thing she knows how to do. I can’t see her transitioning into anything, certainly nothing serious or noteworthy. So without any other skills or abilities to speak of, where will she be headed acting-wise?
That’s a good question, Original Almond. I too think that her rom-coms days are probably about behind her. That’s probably why she branched out in Horrible Bosses. I believe she was successful in that role and will probably continue down a comedic career path. “we’re the millers” seems like it is about comedy, not romance, so she seems to be taking that route for now. As for the movie about friendship (forgot the name), if Toni Collette is signed on to co-star Jen could be opening up a new chapter for her career. One that will be better fitting for her as she ages.
She was quite good in Horrible Bosses. She might head down that path, career-wise. She just has to let go of the Rachel “archetype” already.
Anniston proves the adage; Better to be lucky than to be smart.
I like Judge Judy’s book title ” Beauty fades, dumb is forever”
oops!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. I thought this was about face renovations. Next!
funny how she can afford all these luxury homes but not a hair brush.
I am not a Jen fan. And when I do post on her threads I don’t say nasty things. But PLEASE those of you that are whinnying that Jen is mistreated need to get a grip. Stop calling the JP fans loons because they defended a comment made by an Aniston fan. Looking at the previous post it was an Aniston fan that brought up the JPs. WhY? and all this crap that this site is Pro Angie/Brad.. seriously. I see so many negative comments about Brad/Angie and their kids. So STOP. The comments here are tamed compared to what I read. Every time an Angie picture is posted the comments go into her veins or how skinny she is. Over and over. Even on threads that are not about them one of the “unloons” has to mention Angie or Brad.. out of the blue just to get that dig in. And the minute someone says anything about Jennifer you all go into the whinnying mode. Like you have never said anything negative. But the JP fans are loones if they answer back.. What are you when you are posting ugly things? what name do you call yourselves during that time. OH because to you your truth is the only truth.
so stop acting like you Jen fans are so innocent and that butter melts in your mouth. You say nasty things too. So if you dish it out… Woman/Man up and take it.
To answer your comment, One could copy and paste a comment like those on almost the top of this thread, I spotted 5 or 6 posters repeating the same thing, where they complain that is worthless to reason with AJ fans oops “loons”.
Accept that the same happens with the “other side”.
There are as many unflattering pics and the articles are not nice to the JPs most of the time, specially in latter months.
I truly expect this comment and yours, to fall in deaf ears. Just as they complain it happens to them. SMH.
ITAWY.
but yeah it won’t be heard.
So, um, didn’t anyone actually go see Wanderbust?
