Jennifer Aniston considers doing her own lifestyle site: ‘Not yet. But maybe.’

aniston people

As we know, Jennifer Aniston is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World (Who Also Happens to Have a Movie Opening AND a Great Publicist). As part of Aniston’s film promotion/most-beautifulest title, Jennifer had to agree to an exclusive and extensive interview with People Magazine. Honestly, Jennifer’s interviews have really started to blend together in the past few years especially. Embedded in every conversation is a shill for Living Proof, Aveeno and SmartWater. And besides her infomercials, she usually says the same kinds of things. But she did drop a few new pieces of information with People.

She never liked her bubble butt: “Well, I’ve never loved my butt. It’s sort of a thing. I had a bubble butt and was teased… Now people are paying money to get things injected. Like we’re sitting here dying over squats and I’m like, ‘Wait, what’s the trend?!’ I think [I’ve accepted] just my body in general. I used to be such a little round thing, now I’m just like my body is my body so I’ve embraced things overall.”

She doesn’t Google herself (yeah right): “You know they say once you’ve been burned? I don’t feel the need to go seek out people hurting my feelings. Because you know if you’re going to go find something positive, you’re bound to bump into something that’s not so positive. And I’m not against social media, honestly, it’s just not my thing.”

The most overrated thing in the world: “Fame.”

How she prefers her hair: “I’m a long-hair girl. I like my hair.”

On Justin Theroux: “We give each other compliments. He’ll say, “You look beautiful,” or “That looks great.” Or I’ll say, “I don’t know about this outfit,” and he’ll say, “No let’s change that.” And I’ll absolutely say to him, “You know what? No T-shirts.”

Whether she would consider starting her own lifestyle site: “Well, we don’t know. Something could be cooking up on the back burner. Not yet. But maybe. It would be fun.”

[From People Magazine]

It’s weird about the bubble butt thing – when I was younger, I did have a bubble butt, but growing up, it was just before the big-booty revolution with Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce so I was always self-conscious about it too. Nowadays, I sort of wish I could back to those proportions (small waist, bubble butt). But I get the feeling that Jennifer has always wanted a completely different body type. She’s always wanted to be leggy and lithe, and she’s tried to exercise and diet her way down to that.

As for her weirdness over a lifestyle site… that’s sort of interesting, I guess. Will Jennifer be the latest Lifestyle Blonde? And what would she really have to say about lifestyle whatever that we aren’t already getting from Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and to a lesser degree, Blake Lively? Is there an audience for Aniston being given a specific platform to shill yoga, SmartWater and endless trips to Cabo?

    I’m looking forward to hearing about her favourite strains of weed.

    That’s pretty much it.

    • Jem says:

      Oh, come on! She has more to talk about than that! There’s margarita fountains, hair stuff, Drunken Mexican holidays, dog stuff, ‘puttering’ and sh*t, more hair stuff…

  2. Shambles says:

    Oooooh lifestyle advice from Rachel Green? Add that to the list of things I could not care any less about if I tried.

    • Alix says:

      Cannot imagine a duller possible website. She could call it “Vapidity” — by Jennifer Aniston

  3. Ademinda says:

    She is so beautiful! Love her.

    • Huckle says:

      Me too! I love the way she dresses and looks.

    • MandyPurr says:

      Me too! Not sure why so many people hate on her. I love her style, simplicity and her overall persona.

      • Carmen says:

        She impresses me as being an animated fluffball. She has no substance, nothing interesting to say. It’s a major turnoff.

  4. knower says:

    lifestyle websites/books/shops: where once successful actresses’ careers go to die when they get older.

    :-/

  5. Josephine says:

    I don’t get these lifestyle blogs. Who wants advice from people who have lived such a narrow existence? She in particular seems so one-note. She’s never said anything interesting about anything.

    • Esmom says:

      The lifestyle blogs so often seem to be talking to themselves, or to people who are exactly like them. Yes, it might seem like a narrow existence but honestly I know more people who live a narrow existence vs. one that is extremely full and varied and diverse and adventurous.

      Case in point, me. Here I am on a celeb blog when I suppose I could be out paddling in a canoe or volunteering at an animal shelter or traveling to help earthquake victims in Ecuador. Instead I’m going to browse the internet for a few more minutes so I can find a recipe for something to make for dinner, eat a bowl of cereal and go to work. Pretty narrow.

      • lizabeth says:

        To me it’s just selling an aspirational lifestyle. Pretty pictures, a few recipes, some stylish clothes, a sort of peek into their world, like ‘look at my cool stuff and how awesome my life is’.

        I get enough of that from my friends on facebook and instagram. Seriously. My cousin posts about every polo game, gala, or yacht she encounters, plus pics of £3000 shoes that she’s bought. And then there are the foodie friends who post about their every restaurant meal. Then the #proudmoms with their kids posing in outfits no kid would ever pick in bloody Bora Bora. It’s all so exhausting.

        Sorry, I went off on a tangent… I may need a vacation.

      • Carmen says:

        @lizabeth: Recipes? In her case it would be fifty versions of chicken salad.

  6. Grant says:

    I’m willing to bet that if Aniston came out with a lifestyle site, hers would actually be successful. She has a much larger audience than someone like Blake Lively or even Reese Witherspoon. For the minivan majority, she’s the definition of aspirational.

    • Huckle says:

      I’m not trying to be a jerk, but what is the “minivan majority”? How would they be described? I’m not a dumbass really. I just want to make sure I understand.

      • Esmom says:

        I hear you. I think I’m supposed to be part of the minivan majority because I am white, between 40 and 50 and have kids and a house. I don’t have a minivan nor do I consider Jennifer’s life — or any celeb’s, really — aspirational. I do enjoy reading about celeb stuff but I don’t pattern my life after them. I find when people use the term, they’re generally being disdainful and patronizing.

      • Anonymous says:

        Thank you, Esmom. I hate that term. It is ridiculously overused now.

    • siri says:

      I agree, I think she might have a big enough audience. I also think she would do it smarter, not trying to sell overprized, unnecessary items all the time. I just don’t like the word “minivan majority”, it sounds disrespectful. I’m not in any way a fan, but I do like her casual style, so I wouldn’t mind getting some ideas from her at all.

    • mia girl says:

      I tend to agree based on a recent experience. I was at a large dinner party with about 30 people who were a rather eclectic mix of ages, genders and lifestyles (maybe common thread was college grads/working professionals). There were a lot of differences in political/social attitudes, music preferences etc. When it came to celebrities though, there was common ground. The actors pretty much everyone agreed they liked were Tom Hanks, Hugh Jackman, Harrison Ford, Emma Stone and Jennifer Aniston. For whatever reasons (I think it’s the Rachel thing) she has broad appeal.

    • perplexed says:

      She sounds less pretentious when recommending something. Sure, she’s getting paid to promote something, but she doesn’t sound weird about it like Gwyneth Paltrow does (who makes it sound like we’re peasants for not steam cleaning …you know). Dull maybe, but not necessarily super weird. Her advice sounds manageable even if you know a bunch of money helps her out in various areas (i.e exercising trainers, diets, etc). I think that lack of pretense and avoidance of seeming superior probably makes her appealing when she’s talking about food and exercise.

  7. Cee says:

    She is an idiot with a great publicist. The only smart thing she ever did and even with that she comes off as a phoney with a great publicist.

    • GoOnGirl says:

      And didn’t she get this agent because of Brad?

    • meme says:

      She’s hardly an idiot. Jennifer didn’t get this far in life and have such a long career because she’s an idiot.

    • Kelly says:

      I don’t think she is an idiot, she seems to be a hard worker and seems smart when she is interviewed

      • Anonymous says:

        Agreed. She lives an amazing life, all for showing up on the set of pretty basic film shoots for two months of every year with her lines memorized and her game face on; and for having her hair and make-up done a few times a year to have her picture taken and talk about a couple of big brands. Boring? Absolutely. But she’s no fool.

  8. sofie says:

    Dear god no! Enough with the lifestyle blogs. She doesn’t lead a very interesting life & pretty much sticks to the same things for years so what new interesting things does she have to offer?
    Travel destinations? Cabo .
    Beauty ? All aveeno products.
    Hair? Long highlighted beach hair by living proof products.
    Exercise? Yoga.
    Health? Kale & smart water.
    That’s it. She never changes it up.
    As for fame being overated? Why has she always chased it? Has a powerful publicist to keep her at the height of fame. All a load of bollocks. I really enjoyed her in friends but since that ended and she got divorced she has become so grating & full of it.

  9. meme says:

    oh please another TV/movie star lifestyle whatever? Pass.

    I’ve long thought that much of the ‘criticism’ Jen lays at her mother’s feet was really fueled by her own self-identity / image issues. Did her mother really criticize her every minute about her looks? Or was it just how Jennifer perceived herself and projected that onto her mother, whom she has described as being ‘tall, slim, and pretty’ during Jennifer’s childhood … the Jennifer who was “such a little, round thing.” This is a woman who is truly obsessed with her appearance (more than your average self-absorbed actress). By her own words, she was ‘teased’ her because of her appearance during her childhood. It sounds like she felt ‘everyone’ teased her when she was a child, not just Nancy.

    • Huckle says:

      There’s a difference between kids in the neighborhood or school teasing, and your own mother.

  11. PunkyMomma says:

    Please – don’t.

    • Alix says:

      Even Holly Robinson Peete (I’ll wait while you look her up) wants to be a brand now. Oh please.

  12. Magnoliarose says:

    Let’s just don’t. There isn’t anything I want to learn from her beauty wise. Maybe how to keep the same boring hair for 20 years and get away with it.

  13. Cleo says:

    ‘I don’t know about this outfit’…’that looks great’…’you know what? No t-shirts’. Conversations with her husband. Now this I do believe.

  14. lucy2 says:

    Ugh, no more celebrity lifestyle stuff.
    I don’t think she actually Googles herself, but I think she is kept aware of what the tabloids are saying via her publicist.

  15. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    Hahaha, she just needs to STAHP with the “I don’t google myself” BS. She reads THIS SITE. Just stop. Lol.

    • Esmom says:

      She reads this site?

    • Lomas says:

      Well it wouldn’t surprise me if she did. Either her or her agent. She often responds to criticism or gossip, so she clearly keeps an eye on the commentariat. I don’t believe for a second that she doesn’t Google herself.

      • lisa2 says:

        Was going to say the same..

        When she said WE are not sure if a Lifestyle sites is going to happen. Who is the WE she is talking about. I would imagine she would have said “I’m not sure”

  16. Harryg says:

    Do we really need one more?

  17. Bradley says:

    Jennifer Aniston The most beautiful woman in the world???? She Unbelievable!!!!! Would love to meet her someday!!!

  18. Jam says:

    …Bubble butt…? …Really…? I think that’s a biiiiit of a stretch.

  19. lisa says:

    she’s so bland

    and all these procedures and fillers and she still just looks like tootsie
