There are very few reality shows that can keep my attention, and all of them are on Bravo. Well, Project Runway used to be on Bravo, but the new season will be on Lifetime, so I’m branching out. I adore Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List, and my newest favorite is Millionaire Matchmaker.
The show is a great combination of sleazy men and woman, authentic dating advice and an interesting clash of personalities. Many people don’t really care for Patti Stanger, the woman who runs the matchmaking service for millionaires, but I think she’s funny. Often I find myself in total agreement with her assessments of the massive tools who are “looking for love”.
So Patti Stanger attended Bravo’s A-List Awards on Sunday, and she talked to Fox News about the person she’d most like to set up on a date - Jennifer Aniston. Patti thinks Aniston is going through “a really tough time.” She also used some of her spooky mind-reading techniques (seriously, sometimes she really can read a douchebag’s mind) on John Mayer, saying “I read her body language all the time and I hated John Mayer for her. I said he’s going to break up with her after the Academy Awards, he’s just using her.”
Bravo held their annual “A List Awards” in Hollywood on Sunday evening and while the honor roll wasn’t exactly top-notch by Hollywood’s elite standards, it was an entertaining entourage of stars and starlets saying whatever they could to make a name for themselves.
So even though “Millionaire Matchmaker” Patti Stanger isn’t quite on the A-list yet herself, the business woman has ambitious plans to work with one.
“Jennifer Aniston could really use my services; she’s going through a really rough time right now. I read her body language all the time and I hated John Mayer for her. I said he’s going to break up with her after the Academy Awards, he’s just using her,” Stanger told Tarts.
“She needs an intervention and I would be there for her and I would keep it on the down-low and nobody would know about it.”
So who does the expert think is “the one” for Ms. Aniston?
“I wouldn’t match her up with Hollywood; I would give her one of my clients who is a businessman on the Forbes list — one of the big people like at Time Warner, someone who’s high up on the food chain. She needs chemistry and sometimes that older guy who’s in his 50’s, he’s refined and maybe been divorced, is going to be the guy.”
Right — and who knows, Jen might even make an appearance on the show to show her gratefulness.

I totally agree with Patti’s advice for Aniston, except for the part about needing an older man. I don’t think Jennifer would go for a guy in his fifties, and I really wonder if some mover and shaker that age would go for Aniston. Those kind of guys usually go for the super young trophy wives, in my opinion. My advice would be for Jennifer to go for a non-industry professional her own age, or even a few years younger. But someone serious, who takes life and love and all of it as it comes, rather than some John Mayer-esque epic douchebag.

I do agree that guys that age tend to go for the gold digger trophy wife BUT, Aniston is a movie star (no matter how much you want to deny it) with lots of her own money. I can see some older business type going for her.
I don’t know, maybe there is no helping The Aniston.

Alec Baldwin for Jennifer
if you watch 30 Rock you’ll get it -
*Stanger not Stranger…
My bad. But it is a good show, and I love her.
-
Lord knows someone needs to help her, poor thing.
-
Aw. Bet this will make Aniston feel all warm and cared-for inside, that some two-bit, media hungry, tv matchmaker has just implied that she can’t get a man on her own.
-
A bit like hiring a color blind woman to buy your daughter’s prom ensemble.
-
Agreed, Stanger’s right- but it needs to be a foreign businessman or high level politico.
-
I agree with the Celeb/bitchy’s assessment that an older patriarchical type is not the answer. Way too many of us (maybe Jennifer included) women (and men too) have “daddy” issues from not being mentored & supported in a compassionate way in our success in the world. For women, marrying some alpha dog, even if he does have some superficial refinement, is not the answer. Marrying a man who has compassion, empathy, humility AND worldly accomplishment might be the answer, though, and for an egalitarian, relatable marriage, I think being in the same age-bracket helps.
-
My, my - what an attractive man in drag.
-
Geronimo - To be fair to Patti, I think she’s saying Aniston can’t find *the right man*, not that she can’t find *a man*.
But either/or. Whatever.
-
I tried to watch that show but that person is just too shallow and stupid to warrant my time. Not to mention she’s incredibly unattractive. She looks like a basset hound in a cheap wig.
-
that dress is remarkably unflattering
-
Kaiser - It was more that her track record is so (ahem) unfortunate that she needs to be taken in hand by this attention-hungry tv *mind-reading* matchmaker woman…
-
I just can’t watch that show. Her accent grates on my nerves and the whole thing is so insipid.
What I want this woman to do is find a nice island for Jennifer Aniston to go live on, permanently. I’d chip in for the airfare, but Jen’s got it.
-
I think John Stamos would be perfect for Jen.
-
Wench: My, my - what an attractive man in drag.
My thoughts EXACTLY! LOL
-
Good first season with Patti … but her show, as in others, in an attempt to maintain an audience, becomes more and more contrived and less fun.
I disagree with Stanger on Aniston. For long term a man within a five year age range … no control on either side … simply a healthy, “we have things in common,” relationship would be my call.
-
I don’t think there’s any helping Aniston. She dated John Mayer, and after he dumps her on TMZ, she gets back together with him. AND, she does that Vogue interview where she states, “you won’t be hearing from that man again!” In other words, Mayer will be stay mum about their relationship the second time around. Yep, no helping that one. She is as dumb as a box of rocks.
-
disagree with CB. a younger man would not have the patience for her neediness. an older dude in his 50s with his own lavish wealth and whom she can introduce to her A-list life — perfact.
-
That sorry loser is beyond help – I think she’s getting her just deserts and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
-
Of course an older man and someone outside her spoiled, Hwood bubble would be the smartest and best thing for Maniston - but she doesn’t want the smartest and best thing! All her values are warped by her perverted micro-microcosm and the fact she grew up ugly and has had to redo her face, hair and body to be semi-decent looking - and it’s still not enough! Insecure, deceptive and a total dim bulb. Mmmm, sounds like a party!
-
so… she would ‘keep it on the down-low and nobody would know about it…’
right… except for the millions of people she just blabbed to via FOX NEWS about wanting to set her up…
i think jen will do just fine without this media whore’s help. without john mayer, too. everyone has their past dating mistakes that make them cringe in hindsight. that’s john mayer. *cringe!!* but she’ll get over it.
-
I love Patty! And I think she’s right on about JA. JA is a pretty lady, and a smart woman… many women her age and a lot uglier are in a fulfilling long-term relationship. She obviously can’t find the right one and it’s not a dig, it’s a fact. If JA could listen to a matchmaker (not necessarily Patty) I think she could go beyond her own limitations. But some people prefer to think they are right rather than getting what they want by changing their behavior, it’s unfortunate and I think it’s the source of most of JA’s problems.
-
At this point, Jen needs to date a shrink! Anyone who dates John Mayer, and even worse, runs back to him after he dumps them, then parades him at the Oscars, has MAJOR issues.
-
How about a nice doctor/ lawyer/ engineer/ dentist around her age or younger?
She doesn’t need another guy who would use her fame and status, and a businessman or politician might see her as a fame-cow.
I do think she will never find someone as low as JM.
HE is a very rare case of narcissism of such levels, and I doubt she will ever meet a guy of such kind. -
I found Millionaire Matchmaker and Patti Stanger totally irksome. All those pitiful women basically pimping themselves out to weird, but rich, guys. Like “Bachelor” for millionaires. They give women a bad name, gold-digger and desparate. So yeah, Jennifer should run far and fast away from that Patti Stanger.
-
I think for an older man in his 50s, she would be a prize trophy wife. Most men that age do marry younger, but it’s usually the scuzzy ones that marry super-young.

Patti really went berserk on that woman who criticized her bangs {the 42 year old who wanted younger men, liked to drive fast cars and shoot guns..forgot her name}. What was funny is, after that comment the bangs disappeared. I thought that although that woman was annoying, Patti way over-reacted her. Patti simply hated her, which wasn’t very human. The woman wasn’t that bad. Patti really made fun of her, a lot worse than she does with the men who have the same problem {wanting partners who are too young}. Patti also gave her crappy service. That woman was stuck on men in their 20’s and 30’s. So what does Patti do ? Nags her into accepting a guy who DID look “100 years old”, {as the woman stated after seeing him in broad daylight instead of through a 2-way mirror …she freaked out and refused to go on the date}. SO WHAT if she decided that wasn’t the guy for her ? Its as if Patti wants clients to be slaves ? I agree with the woman, why MUST it be a 50-something year old guy ? Especially when she has a thing for younger men ? It would have been way more common-sense of Patti to have found a guy who was also in his 40’s, {same age range as the woman herself and less of a shock than a 50-something year old}. Patti even stupidly commented that a guy in his 60’s would be good {!!!}.
And Patti just had total rabies after that. It was embarrassing to see Patti treat another human being like that.
When I watched that guy’s attitude at the woman,when they met, he was too much like DAD-IN-CHARGE, which to a smart woman would feel condescending. That, plus his age, was too much for her. And he expected her to wear some ugly dress he sent over,?! and he had the nerve to question her on that {as if she were a child}, when she appeared in her own clothes. Patti is overly rude and too much in love with herself. She needs to be more professional and admit her own mistakes. These people come to her to learn, but then she flips out and god help you if you are a woman she doesn’t like. Patti says people show “their true colors”…unfortunately so does Patti. -
Aniston was ok on a certain comedy show, period. That is about all I can say. The rest of her life is just as stagnant and needs a laxative. Like her endless talk about Brad. She can’t shut up. And he doesn’t have the spine to tell her to shut up. I wouldn’t blame Angelina if she decides that Brad just could not measure up to her after all. If he is truly still in touch with Aniston, that’s ridiculous. It gives her the lame idea to keep talking about him. Because that is the only way Aniston can get any attention, by talking about Brad. I didn’t read this article on her not so great house {it looks over-finished and cold to me,like a hotel}, but I got sick of her in the past always having the creepy and lame inability to quit talking about her ex.
She’d cardboard. I think Brad is not quite up to Angelina {since he seems to make her miserable too often and is likely not mature enough} but at least he moved on from Maniston.

I, too, love this show - but it’s STANGER, not Stranger. I think Patti is hilarious - and a grown up version of Punky Brewster.
