Something’s brewing in entertainment journalism. I’m starting to think that one of the favorite pastimes of journalists is to ask random celebrities what they think of Jennifer Aniston and her love life. It really seemed that way when Fox News asked Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger for her opinion on Aniston, and now People Magazine has done it with Bette Midler.
Bette had a lot to say about Aniston. She says that Vince Vaughn was probably Aniston’s best choice in the past few years, saying “He’s hilarious, he’s good-looking. I mean, I thought he had it all.” Alas, Vince is currently being a big fat momma’s boy. So what about John Mayer? “Well, he’s a good-looking guy,” Midler hedges. Midler’s advice to Aniston is actually reminiscent of Patti Stanger’s advice. Don’t date actors, get out there and shake things up, et cetera. The funniest part comes at the end when Bette suggests Aniston go on JDate:
While it may have been a good 40 years since Bette Midler last sang “Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match” in Broadway’s Fiddler on the Roof, the Divine Miss M is now ready to play matchmaker herself – to Jennifer Aniston.
“She needs an exciting guy, like a race-car driver,” Midler, whose Las Vegas revue The Showgirl Must Go On marks its 100th show on June 7, told PEOPLE about Aniston. “I think she needs somebody who cherishes her, but also somebody who’s going to give her a run for her money.”
Still in full matchmaker mode, Midler, 63, said, “She should find somebody who is really hot, who’s not in show business. Somebody with a lot of money, and she should live the large life and forget about these a–holes. She’s a great girl. She’s got everything going for her.”
As for the Friends star’s romantic past, Midler said she had had high hopes for Aniston and Vince Vaughn who dated from 2005 to 2006. “I actually thought Vince Vaughn was great,” she said. “He’s hilarious, he’s good-looking. I mean, I thought he had it all.” But adds Midler, “I don’t really know them, but I like them, I like to watch them, I enjoy them.”
And what about another Aniston ex, John Mayer? “Well, he’s a good-looking guy,” Midler says of the musician, whose on-and-off relationship with Aniston ended earlier this year. “I’ve got to say, I watched it for awhile, but I have no opinion. I just read a few of the blogs.”
Asked if perhaps Aniston should post a profile on an online dating service, Midler said with a laugh, “Oh, please, you mean JDate? Put her up on JDate and see how she does!”

Can anyone see Aniston with a racecar driver? Like, someone from NASCAR? What would they have to talk about? I could see Aniston with some other kind of athlete (if you consider racecar drivers “athletes”, which many people do). Maybe a basketball player, or even baseball. Not football, though. For some reason I don’t think Jennifer would work with a football player. Perhaps a golfer? No, I’ve got it… a tennis player. I could totally see Jennifer with a tennis player.
Here’s Jen on the set of “The Baster” in New York City yesterday. Images thanks to WENN.com .

Firstly, I think he shouldn’t be American. (Nothing against you Yanks!) He should be a Formula 1 racing driver, or a rally racing driver (oh wait, that’s what I’d like)…
But seriously — or as serious as such speculation can be — she should find a rich, good-looking, late 40-ish sportsman from Europe or lovely Oz.
Darn… still about me
-
I could see her with a hockey player..former New York Ranger Mark Messier comes to mind or maybe a successful businessman Virgin owner Richard Branson - but Annie is correct why does she need a man? She is successful, beautiful and wealthy in her own right - she doesn’t need a man to complete her life.
-
Nawww, not a race car driver. I like your idea of a tennis player, though! or someone who has a lot to talk about, like a writer or journalist.
This is a fun game.
-
I don’t know what it is about Jenn’s face in these pictures, but it kind of looks like her cheeks are filled in with play-do or some kind of injection ‘magic’. Looks strange at some angles.
-
i could see her with a baseball player… it is know in sporting circle that the new york mets pitcher ‘John Maine’ as a slight obesssion with her since he never shuts up about her in any of his interviews .
he is divorced now so she might still have a chance with him , although according to the ny daily news aniston apparently loves her some other ny met player ‘david wright’
i kinda feel she should take a chance with a guy out of the LA dating scene , i just get a very superfical vibe about LA.
-
nope not John Maine I like him and he don’t need that kind of trouble lol
-
nope nope not David Wright either. I don’t want that woman near my favorite baseball team and their players. Keep her far far away
-
hah! while I agree that David Wright is much cuter than John Maine, I still think that Carlos Beltran is by far the hottest Met!
-
^^^
haha say that to john maine who seem to want her trouble .
this was from an interview with him:MLB.com: If you had a choice and a chance to give a present to anyone outside your family and friends, who would it be and what would the gift be?
Maine: That’s easy. Jennifer Aniston. And I’d give her my phone number.
MLB.com: Oh, yeah, do you want Jennifer to call you at home or at your sister’s?
Maine: Anywhere she wants.
or this :
Jennifer Aniston “gets better looking as she gets older”, says New York Mets pitcher John Maine.The former ‘Friends’ actress - who was recently romantically linked to her ‘Marley and Me’ co-star Owen Wilson - has proved to be a big hit with the 26-year-old sportsman.
He told In Touch Weekly magazine: “I just love her soft and natural, girl-next-door looks and the way she carries herself, her whole demeanour. And the hair. The hair is unbelievable!
“I think she just gets better looking as she gets older. But if I ever met her I’d probably be so nervous, I would trip over my feet. I guess I would take some pictures with her and give her a hug! Maybe she’ll contact me somehow and it will actually happen. Wow, how cool would that be?”

he sounds like a fanboy haha
-
I have to agree darth, Carlos is freaking hot
-
theyeahyeahs
damn he is a little bit obsess with her lol, maybe she should date him then lol
-
i just get a very superfical vibe about LA.
So long as you’re not meeting the dudes up at a club, many of the men here are decent, hard-working, well-groomed, intelligent, successful guys.
Oh. And dating someone who’s obsessed with you could potentially blow up in your face. (I’ve been there…it’s really not fun.) Because they’ve got this idealized notion of you, and when you turn out to be normal, it’s just no bueno.
-
No way, not NASCAR. She should hook up with a Formula 1 race car driver. They take it up a few notches.
-
Aren’t most athletes a bunch of cheaters anyway? Not sure she wants to go that route.
-
I think it’s so funny how everyone wants to give her dating advice. Stop infantilizing her! She’a 40 year old woman who makes bad dating choices. She dated JOHN MAYER and ran back to him after he publically dumped her. There’s really no helping someone who wants to be next in a long line after Jessica Simpson. She is obviously not listening to anyone’s good advice.
-
there’s ESP nothing wrong with being single hot AND a millionaire… i feel so sorry for jen, this stuff has GOT to be embarrassing. shit, it embarrasses me when my mom brings stuff like this up, much less the entire world :/
-
I love her outfit in these pics!
-
Carly: You made some excellent points, but I after reading the other posts on this thread I think yours fell on some deaf ears.
-
Aniston is pathetic. She can’t keep a man, no matter what their personality is. She’s better off alone & NOT having a kid!
-
Bette had so much good stuff to say about Vince but you can tell she tried her best to not say “Mayer seems to be a big douche bag.” Wish Bette had the balls to say it.
-
More PR Jen must have a movie to promote.
-
Carly, you said it all. It’s not a cute story, it’s pathetic for a variety of reasons. I’m starting to see Aniston the same way I view Meg Ryan: as a cute woman, known for her cuteness and little else who has wholly been defined by her relationships with men. Here’s hoping that Aniston stops the plastic surgery now lest she end up unrecognizable and widely pitied like Ryan.
-
wow dav so now jennifer aniston is responsible for what Bette Midler has to say; i didnt realize how powerful aniston is haha
i am really laughing hard at some people obession with jennifer aniston so called pr team, the way they go on about one you would think she is the only celebrity that has a pr and two that this so called pr team are very powerful and able to bend anyone and anything to their way ; haha so much power for someone who this same people call a d-list tv hack
-
I wonder if Jennifer regrets doing all of those interviews right after the divorce? She kept crying, whining, and throwing pity-parties. Four years later people still have this desperate, needy image of her. But Jennifer loves publicity so she probably thinks all publicity is good publicity.
-
WTF cares about what Bette Midler’s input? Why would she care?
-
It’s one thing for the tabloids to make up crap. it’s expected.
I’m sure Bette had good intentions, but her comments were in bad taste.
The Jen haters can make all the nasty remarks about her love life that make them feel better about themselves, while Aniston appears to be happy and living her life the way she chooses.
-
crazy aunt times 1000000!!!
diddy, you said it… jen’s PR team must be GOD! they control everything, even our thoughts :/
i hate myself for getting sucked into all this stupidity though :/
-
AMY to my knowledge the only interview she did right after the divorce was vanity fair magazine where she talked about it and nothing else for years ;the rest we saw where from tabs who pretty much makeup stories everyday about various celebrities
-
Can someone please set me straight? We just watched “Marley & Me”–surprisingly endearing–and I swear the nose JA had in that film is not the same nose she has in the photo above. I’m confused, as the film is recent, and I assume these photos are too. Help?
-
Don’t we all spend a great deal of time wondering and debating over Jennifer Aniston’s love life? Angelina Jolie’s waist size, Brad Pitt’s sorry excuse for a hair growth over his lip? Gosh we’ve a lot of time on our hands. They are people we don’t know, the closest we get to them is handling a dvd at Blockbuster. So let’s not get our knickers in a knot over whether or not Brad’s leaving Angelina, Jennifer’s lack of decent boyfriend/children..obviously there are fun comments posted here - but some people take this all too seriously.
-
Jennifer needs to get herself a billionaire like Salma Hayek did, or maybe she should try a latin lover for a change. Maybe someone like Benicio Del Toro…
-
Diddy-
No, No, NO. During the entire year of 2005 she had something to say almost everytime she was interviewed:
1. She went on Oprah’s show and exclaimed, ” I was shocked….the whole world was shocked” in reference to published photos of Brad and Angie on the beaches of Africa.
2. W Magazine spread where Angie and Brad are in photo with children portraying a big, loving, happy family,…”There’s a sensitivity chip missing” Jen states in reference to Brad.
3. Vanity Fair magazine articles where Jen AND her friends comment on her marriage to Brad in an unfavorable manner. Furthermore, she offers what she thinks to be a funny moment when one of her friends sends her a cartoon of either Angie’s face being blown up by a gun or a picture of a gun aiming at Angie ready to take fire. Real nice.
4. She has admitted to pity parties and screaming at the ocean.
TMI. Nope, Aniston did not leave much to the imagination of what it felt like being dumped. That is how the “world” knew of her pain and suffering…and loneliness, spitefulness, jealousy, anger. It came directly from her, not the tabloids. After that repeated blunder, the tabloids have since spun it out of control and have made quite a sustainable profit.
-
So true Josephine. All that garbage and more roll out of her own mouth. Some don’t understand when posters say they are sick of Jen.
-
Josephina
I just reread the 2005 Vanity Fair article online (I subscribe and had only a vague recollection of it) and every point you list 1. 2. 3. and 4. are from that one article with the exception of the second part of 3. about the New Yorker cartoon which she mentioned in the January 2009 GQ I believe.
-
egad.
for someone who clearly has no love for Aniston, you sure have an obsessive catalog of information from her interviews, Josephina.
as Cathy pointed out, a LOT of these “interviews” with her are taken from previous interviews she’s given, and then re-hashed or re-configured (or “borrowed” from another mag) to look like it’s a new one.

Why is it such an awful thing to be single?
They make it seem like Jenn is this desolate, tragic figure who can’t seem to find a man! But really, is it possible that her life is complete without a significant other?
Of course not right? Women can’t be single! That means we’re lonely! Men? It just means they’re a bachelor and so male.
Pfft.
