Jennifer Aniston appears on the cover of OK! in what looks like a repeat of so many of their earlier covers. It’s all about Jen and the baby she says she might eventually have. Here are some other cover stories OK! has run in the past couple of years that are variations on this theme: (And OK! is not the only offender)
July 5, 2010: “Yes! I am Having a Baby”
April 19, 2010 “Confirmed: Finally, a Baby for Jen!”
October 5, 2009 Exclusive: Pregnant at 40!”
Without reading this latest article at all, I think it’s safe to assume that it’s a rehash of Aniston’s old quotes accompanied by some “insider” quotes about how she needs something more in life, and is making a change by selling her house at a ridiculously inflated price. (Note: I wrote that before I even read the teaser article.) We get the digital edition of OK! Magazine today, so if it contains any groundbreaking quotes or information I’ll update this story. As it is, it sounds like all they do is jump to conclusions, as is typical for so many tabloids. (And us.) Here’s OK!’s take on this:
Jennifer Aniston spent two years at her renovated $13.5 million Beverly Hills estate only to wake up one morning to realize that the Zen-influenced wide-open floor plan of her home was not family-friendly. “It’s no place to raise a baby,” she confided in a friend, when she put the expansive 10,000-square-foot property on the market for $42 million on Feb. 18. The actress, 42, is so concentrated on her future as a mom that she’s willing to make enormous sacrifices, like selling the house she loved so much, we report in the new issue of OK!, on sale everywhere Thursday.
“She felt the Beverly Hills home was too sprawling and unmanageable for a new mom,” explains another confidante. “She’s renovating her old Hollywood Hills home, where she lived when she met Brad Pitt, because she thinks it’s a smaller and a better-laid-out home for a baby. She’s keeping a baby in mind as she’s looking for a place in New York, too.”
[From OK!]
Well, if Aniston would just take a page from Cameron Diaz and say “motherhood is not in my future” the tabloids would stop this business – maybe. As it is, she told People Magazine that we should “relax, it’s [motherhood] going to happen” so it’s like she’s inviting speculation. At least we’re still talking about her, although I think that OK! is behind the times. They should have gone with a Charlie Sheen cover this week. Plus, Robert Pattinson may have just called his relationship with Kristen Stewart “traumatic.” They were running Twilight love story covers for months. You think they would be all over that.
Yeah, for some reason OK is stuck on this story, I can’t imagine this will be a big seller since it’s happened so many times before.
Other than beauty salons, who buys this dreck? I mean, if you’re interested in this kind of thing, you read it online and by the time it comes out in print, it’s old news.
If it is, by some stretch, true- then Jen better get her act together or she’s going to be wearing Depends at the same time as her baby is wearing Pampers!
Really?? They are sticking to this?
Anywho, I really wanted the Jen Aniston/Adrien Brody paring from months back to have been real. He seems the type to not give two hoots about the triangle thing.
He seems more like a “live in the moment, let the past be in the past” kinda guy.
So their story is going to be that since she has decided to dump that Mid-Century modern home on the market. That is the calling card that she is going to go buy a baby? Oh good grief.
I am also stunned that they didn’t go with Sheen.
And do a cover with Denise Richards hugging up on her daughters… with the cover screaming how they are not #WINNING! Throw in some pictures from their marriage when Charlie looked good. Then adding pictures of him all cracked out.
With all the crazy crap Charlie has done in the last week. It would have been a page turner.
Oh FFS I don’t even care if my friends or family members have a baby as much as these mags apparently care if JA has a baby. I pray she never does – can you imagine the coverage. Who caaares? Have a baby, don’t have a baby, why do these mags continually put forth this crap story? Are people really that interested in her and her possible motherhood???
Jen’s having a baby and filming a romantic comedy.
I took a shower this morning and put on deodorant.
Wow @Hautie
That Charlie Sheen cover would be quite brilliant!
You need to offer up your services to this Mag, it could add a bit of accuracy and most importantly, a story which is FACTUAL.
As it is, she told People Magazine that we should “relax, it’s [motherhood] going to happen” so it’s like she’s inviting speculation.
===================================================
Or maybe she really wants a baby.
“Jen having a baby” is so last year, the year before and the year before that.I think the “photo proof” are pictures from a couple of years ago, so if she hasn’t given birth by now, she must really be uncomfortable. And isn’t she 42? I think the cover is something they already did and just updated the text. Who do they think cares about this when there is such real drama going on now in the entertainment world.
Apparently the last OK “Jen finally a mother” cover sold big, so the repeat is a simple business decision. I don’t know why people keep falling for this rehash. But it will be humorous if it turns out to be true.
Thanks OK but I’ll wait till it comes from the Queen Bee herself on the baby issue.
Life and Style has a Sheen cover and it’s obviously bullshit the tagline is ‘I am loosing my mind’ it actually makes him saner than he has been because in their scenario he is doubting himself and asking for help. Only problem yesterday he was on the rooftop with the Tiger’s blood so. It made me realize why the tabs stay far away from it. Better to make up stories about the Aniston baby that she’ll have by surrogate in 2047.
@Quest let’s not forget that last month the Queen Bee herself encouraged the media attention saying that people just want to see her barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and it will happen.
I feel the urge to send her a baby for Christmas, no, make it twins and save myself the embarrassment of reading the same old story. Hopefully she’d come with something new then. Probably “Yes, I’m having another puppy!”
mln76: Good point (LOL) but I have to see that baby pop out from her royal uteris before believing this.
@Quest I am right there with you 😉
I am not going to get my hopes up again. It is just too, too devastating for me.
she is loving every minute of it, she gets to continue the fame seeking under these mags, stringing everyone who does care along, and stay relevant,other wise she is forget-able, as someone already said earlier, she encourages it, really, who cares? not the first, won’t be the last.
@Melanie: 😆
Majosha, thanks for the support. Last time I had to take Lunesta because I couldn’t sleep at night due to the excitement.
@Melanie: I’m here for you, girl. Hang in there.
Agreed Sandy. You just know she is manipulating the press again. I can’t imagine this manipulative self-absorbed woman as a ‘mother’.
Sure she’ll be adopting about when she turns 50, that’s about the near future as it gets. The woman loves her freedom, I don’t see this happening anytime soon.
whenever shes out of the spotlight for a couple minutes, the tabs make up a story..I’ll believe it when i hear it from her mouth…and I don’t think she has anything to do with this story..shes not manipulating anything…
@saphfirerose, thanks, another person who lives in reality, always nice to be among the sane, but for the others, yes she is perfect, never famed whore in her life, always had a gun to her head to force her with those silly rom-com, fake romance, butt in air, talk shows, mag covers, totaled make over for appearance, association to brad and divorce drama, red carpets, crashing in on awards shows, , should i continue?you get my drift, wink, wink, noooo! she would not do that, she sit quietly at home not trying to be in front of the cameras at all, yeah right…1 2 3..
hi i want get the celebrities skype add pls hlp me with this, i hope i will get the right adds
thanx guys
@Melanie: you tried SmartWater?
@ Olivia, I bought 6 cases. When I am done with them I toss them out of the window so small creatures can have a nice new house. I always try to think outside of the box that way. (see, smartwater does make you smart!)
First please don’t insult mid-century design by calling Aniston’s house mid-century. It was never mid-century as it was built in 1972 and the redo on the house was certainly nothing like mid-century design or furniture. It was someone’s idea of the 1970s – a dark, dark era for design and good taste.
Second, if Jennifer truly longed for a child or even planned to have one in her life she would have a child or two by now. Her fans can make all the excuses they want but if any woman – single or not – had any desire to have a child and had all her resources (money, help, convenience of a flexible career, etc), the fact is that she would have one. Though I realize Jennifer has fed this monster time and again for many years, why must people insist she really wants to be a mother when there seems no evidence to support it. Hell she has never even stopped smoking for any period of time over the past 13 years so it was obvious she never planned any pregnancy. Give it up.
One last word on this subject. You all may laugh and laugh about these false pregnancy stories but think about this the next time you chuckle: If Jennifer does not have children the world will be absent her beautiful hair and figure once she passes…..Not so funny anymore is it?
@Melanie: “I bought 6 cases. When I am done with them I toss them out of the window so small creatures can have a nice new house.”
I am extremely touched by this… you are always thinking of others… you care about them and don’t expect anything in return … sorry but I can’t write more… I’m crying …
This is simple math – just this week it was reported by min that OK!’s best seller of last year was, you guessed it, that July 5th, 2010 cover posted above – “Yes! I am having a baby.” Since OK! is in the business of selling magazines, they are going with what they know has worked. This has nothing to do with Jennifer herself and whether she “encouraged” this kind of speculation. In fact, she has just discouraged this kind of speculation if anyone was actually paying attention to her comments on the subject. Yes she maintains she still wants children (which there is no reason to assume is not the case), but she stated clearly several times that she would be the first to “scream it from a mountaintop” when the news is true. Given that, the real question here is why do these covers sell so well for the tabloids?
Thank you Olivia. I don’t like to toot my own horn but you may do it for me. The constant praise I hear in my own head is enough for me. I don’t need accolades like some others…..(coughcoughang)
@Melanie, LMAO! you’re killing me over here!
I’ve never understood why so many people are viciously angry with this woman because she doesn’t have children yet. And I say “yet”, because in this day and age, she can pretty much have one whenever and wherever she wants. So she hasn’t done it. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to or won’t, right? Sheesh.
The only “baby” at Jen’s house is the jars of baby food she eats. I read that’s how she stays so thin…she only eats baby food. At least the kid will have something to eat!
They should stop insulting viewers’ intelligence with these types of covers and she should stop playing the game adding to the specualation with her replies.
Every woman who hit 40 and who wants to have her own child like she said are in a hurry, like Halle and countless of others.
They know that the eggs after 38 dropped dramatically and even with VIF, if you didn’t frozen them before, it becomes very problematic to produce enough to rise your chances to have a baby from 8 % to 30 %. And each year that passing by it drops even further to the point that many hospital refuse to even start when you hit 45.
She doesn’t feel the urge, she has zero maternal instincts and is a 42 year old immature child woman herself. It’s fine, no big deal.
Not everyone should become a mother, especially if you have no inclinnation to become one and is reluctant to grow.
@ Anon
Very true.
Alsd keep in mind she told Mario Lopez adoption is not for her. She can always use donor eggs and carry the baby herself or use a surrogate though.
