Jennifer Aniston has been filming an Elmore Leonard film adaptation for about a month. Word is that Jennifer demanded that the movie change locations from Detroit to Connecticut because she didn’t want to be in Detroit and because she wanted to stay close to Justin Theroux, who has been staying in New York City, I guess. I always find it hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston gets to dictate those kinds of terms – yes, she’s a self-styled “America’s Sweetheart” with a dozen interchangeable rom-coms under her belt, but this Elmore Leonard project is an ensemble film in which no actor could or should pull rank. I bring this up because Radar has a story about Jennifer pulling rank all over the place while on set. Hunh.
Jennifer Aniston is an A-list movie star and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that’s exactly what she acts like on set. While in Connecticut filming the Untitled Elmore Leonard Project with other famous faces like Isla Fisher, Tim Robbins and Will Forte, a source close to the set says the former Friends actress doesn’t socialize with any of the cast or crew and purposely keeps herself removed as much as possible.
“Every day at lunch the entire cast and crew head to a cafeteria facility where they all sit down and eat lunch together for well over an hour,” the insider exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “But the only person who doesn’t eat with everyone else is Jen. She quickly grabs a lunch to go and leaves.”
The source also claims Jen, 44, has fancier transportation than everyone else — as well as a trailer that is much farther away from the set than anybody else’s.
“All the actors ride in normal production vans when they head to lunch, but Jen has her own luxury SUV,” the source said. “And not only is Jen’s private trailer miles away from the set, but she heads all the way back there each day to eat her lunch away from everyone else.”
The source concluded by telling RadarOnline.com that Jen isn’t outwardly rude to anyone on set, but that she just acts like a diva and it’s off-putting to those around her.
“Her behavior is a clear indicator to everyone that she’s not approachable,” the source said. “And it’s just unnecessary. There’s no reason why she has to act any better than anyone else on that movie set.”
Eh. I’m not sure if I believe all of this – Jennifer is tight with Isla Fisher, and I can’t see Jennifer acting like she was “above” hanging out with Isla. But maybe she just want people to know that she eats the same chicken salad for lunch every damn day. Also, I could see her with the fancy trailer and making sure that people know she’s THE STAR (of an ensemble). And in case you have your doubts about Jennifer’s diva antics – go back and watch that Aveeno commercial. She totally made Aveeno call her “the beautiful Jennifer Aniston”. That’s one of her favorite things in the world, to remind people that she’s “beautiful”. Her publicist drops that into millions of stories about Jennifer. Imagine that contract – “The company must refer to Beautiful Jennifer Aniston as ‘Beautiful’ at least twice.”

I can’t believe how anyone would find her beautiful. Cute, yes. Even pretty or sexy would be understandable. But beautiful? No way.
She’s not even beautiful if it wasn’t for her millions. At least some actresses have a face to look at. Maybe that’s why she focus so much attention on her body because she knows it would help to distract from her face.
Unconventionally attractive/average/plain who makes the best of what she has – yes.
‘Beautiful’, ‘stunning’, ‘gorgeous’, with amazing hair and ‘the best body in Hollywood’ – no.
I often think she looks like she could be related to Vicki Gunvalson from the Real Housewives. Same hardness and mean jaw.
She’s not beautiful, just average and glossy
Lol glossy. Money helps to polish that shine.
Not sure if I totally believe this report however, there have been similar stories about this type of behavior before. Do think that she is a beautiful woman however, on the plain side( if that is possible). Beautuful but with a big BLAH. She may be the star of the movie however, she sitll is a B/C category movie acttress.
This is just another reason why I love Angie so much. She is sooooooo low maintenance & is so over herself. When angie is on she is on without trying. When she is out she is out & still top of the line.
Frankly, I think there was a reason why all those guys dump her over the years. Something ain’t right when Vince Vaugh dumps you & then gets married & starts a faimly with the next women he dates. But, according to jens friends vince wasn’t good enough for her. Em Ok.
Like Beautiful but Dull as Dirt.
As the saying goes you can polish a turd but its still just a turd.
Exactly!
How is she an A-list movie star? Do her films even make money? She’s an A-list TV star. I don’t mean that as a dig, I just don’t see the proof.
Yeah, don’t forget 90’s TV star. I too never really understood the fascination with JA. She has nice hair and a nice rack, but so does your average Barbie doll.
I’ve noticed that with America’s “Sweethearts” there is usually a quirk to their face that makes them seem approachable or almost like the girl next door. Think Reese’s chin, Julia Robert’s smile, etc. Jen has a completely average face (with her hair down) but a lovely body she works hard for.
I think her appeal for the average person is that they want to admire someone whose “beauty” they too can attain- that is if they try hard enough. Jen’s “beauty” can be attained if one works out hard enough and grooms enough (and has enough $ for a plastic surgeon). It’s why her Rachel hair was such a huge hit in the 90’s.
She knows this and it’s why she shills “average” products that the masses can actually afford to buy. Like water, hair care (albeit a bit expensive but her hair is her crowing glory), and now Aveeno. If she shilled for a product like LaMer, she’d be out of her league.
What I find kind of interesting is that even though she’s know for working out religiously and whatnot, I’ve never seen a pic of her in work out clothes leaving a gym. I mean even the Goop has been caught in such a state. My guess is that she likes to push the idea that she’s a natural laid- back beauty when she’s anything but that.
A-List by association. And by that of course I mean her connection, both good and bad, to the genuine A-Listers known as Brad Pitt & Angie Jo. Without her connection to them, she would have NEVER reached anything close to “movie star” or “A-List”. PERIOD.
+1 Well said!
I agree…A list seems a bit of a stretch…especially when you look at all of her boring romcoms. To me it seems that the generation that loved and watch ‘Friends’ have grown past her and don’t feel the same as they used to about her but Hollywood won’t let her ship sail. She def needs to be downgraded from A to at least a C rating.. Good luck Aveno.
beautiful…in her lungs!!!
She stopped to talk to Jimmy Kimmel’s guy Guillermo at the Oscars. Mostly only the laid back celebs stopped for him. When he offered her a shot of Tequila she was like “I CAN’T” and then said it was because she needed to be talking later. I guess she turned down alcohol to fuel the pregnancy rumors. I doubt she acts like that since she is still friends with a lot of her old costars.
Shes turned up to awards shows and interviews slurring drunk before so I don’t know why she’d stop now. As to being friends with some of her old co-stars, that doesn’t mean a lot. Remember when Jay Mohr made that comment about her? And someone wrote a book about her an ex friend and flatmate I believe. Tate Donovan also made a comment about her being highly materialistic and high maintenance. So I do believe this story.
Does anybody else think her face looks really different at the Oscars? Definitely something done. Any ideas?
I was thinking the same thing…her eyes look strange. Facelift?
Can she pleeeease do something different @ awards shows with her hair!!!!
i thought it was her false eyelashes
It is hard to believe that she gets to dictate those terms, but then again it’s hard to believe she gets as many film offers as she does.
Actually those terms are pretty standard. I have worked on a couple low million budget films and this (no eye contact, no approaching the actor, meals in trailors away from other actors/crew, etc) is standard for actors with way less cache than Jen Aniston.
“No eye contact”…Tell me you are kidding…
Anna, “the no eye contact” clause is common. I use to work in the industry and would often volunteer to work as a talent escort at awards shows and celeb events (escorting the talent off-stage and through the various media bull pens). I will never forget being told not to make eye contact with Madonna at one particular event, which I thought was absurd. So, I dared to do so, and she just stared right back. Needless to say, I didn’t work at that event as a talent escort again. 🙂
Of course there is a big difference between MDNA and Jen; however, I have found it to be true of TV stars as well. A-List or B-List, it doesn’t really matter…they all think so highly of themselves and we should feel honored to be in their presence. Ugh!
Then they all need to get over themselves already. To tell people they can’t look at you? They act, which is really just an elaborate, grown up version of kids playing pretend. Only they get paid lots of money to do so.
Amanda …
I can tell you that you experienced something specific for Madonna (yes, I know from experience). It isn’t snobbery on her part (and several others, I used to escort celebrities at events as well). They’ve learned through experience that engagement in conversation and exchanging looks ‘can’ encourage the crazy among us … you know, stalkers and those who think one courtesy conversation means ‘BBF’s’ forever. It’s a non-aggressive way of self-protection. Exchanging looks with someone acknowledges them and invites attention. At least, that’s how someone explained it to me.
In their defense (I ‘cannot’ believe I’m saying this in defense of Jen-Jen, though I don’t know why she would do it with the crew, who are usually so jaded by the third or fourth film, being around stars is old news to them and nothing special), they can’t tell which of us is non-threatening and which of us is a potential crazy.
But I can also say not every celebrity adheres to this (I’ve had some very pleasant conversations with celebrities), only those who have had scary encounters during their careers seem to do this.
Years ago, I was an extra on a film for four days. Believe me, by the end of the first day–after standing around in the cold wearing heels, waiting for the director to shoot and then re-shoot scenes–I was SO over seeing the ‘star’ of the film walk in front of us. LOL!!The extras who were sitting inside a warm limousine during those two and three hour stretches couldn’t understand why the rest of us were so grumpy at lunch and at the end of the day. Ah, the memories. 🙂
At best she’s cute, she’s beachy and casual. Wouldn’t call her beautiful
This woman is tedious, boring and homely. Ugh.
Agree.
I just have never understood the appeal of this minger.
She isn’t beautiful but minger is a bit much don’t you think?
What, pray tell, is a minger?
I’m liking Jen a lot more since she hooked up with Justin. She seems less needy and more chilled and relaxed. Diva? Doesn’t really come across to me as one but who knows? And is this really any different from other actors’ set ‘demands’? Maybe she just likes having some space and that’s how she’s used to working?
I know, I’m talking about her as if she’s a serious method actress and needs time alone to focus on her craft and her character… 😉
She seems less needy because she is no longer single. Just wait until this relationship falls apart – we’ll see the same Jen we always see.
She has lovely eyes, but that’s all I can see attractive about her face.
She has nice eyeballs.
I live in the same area where they filmed parts of Marley and Me. I knew someone who worked security on the set and he claimed the same thing about her not being around anyone. He said once the cameras would stop, she would disappear in her trailer. On the flip side, he said Owen Wilson was very social and used to play soccer with the kids.
If she’s not being outwardly rude then she’s not acting like a ‘diva’ and maybe she just likes to eat lunch by herself – no crime in that. Plus maybe she wants to smoke a dube in her trailer.
It is strange to me that the definition of Diva to a lot of people is wanting to go about your life in peace. Why does everyone need to be sucked up to or schmoozed and if an actor just wants to do their work and go home then that actor must be a terrible person?
I feel the same way. Apparently, being an introvert is seen as the same as being a snob and not just in Hollywood.
That said, I can kind of see Jennifer as a diva. I just don’t think wanting to eat in peace as being a tremendous act of evil.
Yea I am an introvert too. I have had problems with people thinking I was stuck up because of it as well.
I’m an introvert as well. The time to recharge over a break can be worthwhile. Clearly the Brangeloonies disagree.
I’m an introvert too. I agree, it’s weird when someone else interprets it as being stuck-up.
eating lunch with co-workers is over rated anyway
But sometimes building camaraderie is in the best interest of the working environment, so it’s worth putting some effort into it.
If she’s hiding, I’m guessing it is to hide the fact that she doesn’t eat.
Bummer she pulled the movie out of Detroit. Maybe she could have used some compassion and realized how much that could have benefitted the city financially instead of worrying about what her man might do if she is away from him.
Why she still relevant?
Brad Pitt.
Friends, which still very popular internationally. She was famous before Brad.
No, she was ‘cute’ before Brad … it was her ‘hair’ that was famous. She gained fame, along with A+ status, after she married Brad.
No she was famous well before Brad. ‘Friends’ quickly became a hit back in 1994. It’s an A list show and she was famous around the world as one of it’s stars. She became even more famous when she hooked up with Brad, but she was definitely A list before him.
@Jenna …
You ‘do’ understand the difference between A-list TV Personality and A-List Movie Star/Screen Actor, don’t you?
I repeat, Jen was famous for her hair. Critics voted her one of the worst new TV actresses two years in a role when “Friends” premiered. Don’t make it more than what it was.
@Emma,
It’s not that simple, Brad Pitt is a “movie star” who got a free ride in Hollywood because of his pretty boy looks. He was a pretty boy and that’s what got him through, he’s also a decent actor, not great but decent enough, but with his great looks that didn’t really matter in the 1990’s.
We’re not going to pretend he’s an actor on the level of Daniel Day Lewis, Ralph Fiennes, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, or Kenneth Branagh are we?
His breakout role was taking off his shirt and showing his six-pack in Thelma and Louise. Studios began hiring him because they knew the theaters would be packed to the gills with screaming girls. His acting ability didn’t matter and like I said he’s a decent actor and even managed to garner an oscar nod for playing crazy, but it’s not something any other decent or better actor couldn’t pull off. His acting was frequently skewered by critics but really his acting ability wasn’t what buttered his bread, his looks werw what got him hired time and again. He became famous as “hunk” “heartthrob” “sexy” and that is an image he still can’t shed even now that his looks are totally gone.
So are you seriously saying that a guy who skidded through Hollywood based on his good looks deserves a better A list status just because he’s in movies as opposed to tv? If anything, a tv star gains more fame because they get broadcast into people’s livingrooms every week and fans tend to see them on a more personal level than a movie star that they see once in a while onscreen. Friends was a bonafide hit from the start and Jennifer Aniston was famous and A list as one of it’s main stars broadcast in people’s livingrooms week after week. She didn’t need a pretty boy to make her famous. She had enough fans around the world doing what she was doing, that’s why she and Pitt became known as the Golden Couple when they hooked up, they were both already famous.
Now that Pitt’s looks are gone, he’s still a decent actor, even garnering some award nods here and there and some critical acclaim but still not in the class of actors that include Robert de Niro, or Al Pacino, or Ralph Fiennes, Daniel day Lewis, etc., but then again although these actors were very good looking in their youth none of them skidded by on their looks the way Pitt did in the 1990’s, so he really doesn’t deserve to be among them does he?
So you see it doesn’t make sense to go on about how Pitt made Aniston famous just because he was an A list pretty boy that starred in movies.
Oh please – wanting to spend an hour away from your coworkers is hardly “diva” behavior. This is really trying hard, even for this branch of low-brow journalism.
Embarrassed to admit I’m a worse introvert. But I apologize and make it up to anyone who doesn’t understand. My family and friends just accept and mock it, in a loving way. JA’s an actress however. Can’t see her seeking out quiet to decompress, or seeking out quiet period.
Actors are not some type of super-humans. They need down time also. The days can run very long on a set. Perhaps she doesn’t want to be talking all day for 12 or 14 hours. Once again, that hardly constitutes “diva” behavior. Taking a few minutes during a busy workday to meditate or sit in silence is often suggested by stress reduction experts.
It’s still a try-hard, non story.
It seems like a small movie & cast. Surely, she can break bread with them once in a while.
…During Aniston’s 44th birthday on Monday(2/11), scenes were filmed at Two Door restaurant on Hamilton Avenue in Greenwich.
On Tuesday morning, a moving truck was leaving the restaurant and a woman was removing bags of garbage from the sidewalk. Owner Robert Roina said filmmakers shot for 16 hours Monday and briefly that morning.
“It was her birthday; they all took her out to celebrate,” he said of Aniston…
I’m always amazed by all the hate for her. I’m kinda neutral about her, found her cute and charming in Friends. Anyway I wonder if people would hate her as much if she were still married to BP. S
eems like once they split, people found reasons to pick her apart. Like once she lost the A-list hottie husband she was deemed incapable of doing anything right.
Nah, it wasn’t the break up for me. I always thought she was unattractive and didn’t understand the praise for her looks.
I’ll give it to her that her nose jobs worked wonders because she’s much better looking then she was, but she still isn’t no where near beautiful.
@Esmom, who wrote: “I’m always amazed by all the hate for her. I’m kinda neutral about her, found her cute and charming in Friends. Anyway I wonder if people would hate her as much if she were still married to BP. S

And once again, someone attempts to re-write history. (Blinks) Who, exactly, did people find a reason to pick apart after the split? It certainly wasn’t Jennifer Aniston.
The world (and I mean that literally) was Jen’s oyster for four years after her divorce. Everybody sympathized with her. If she had just ‘moved on’ with her life during that period, I think people would still be drinking her bath water. But I also think the longer she milked the sympathy card and pretended she just couldn’t find happiness because Brad Pitt and the Evil One had ruined her life, a lot of people got over it … and her.
What you’re ‘just’ now starting to see has ‘not’ always been the case. It’s just the backlash from those first four years. It didn’t help her case any when Brad and Angie adopted and had kids right away, and appear to be a very happy, loving family.
It also doesn’t help her case that Angelina Jolie has proven over and over to the world that she is ‘not’ the Evil One they thought, but is a generous, compassionate, intelligent woman who is deeply concerned about people and world issues.
And perhaps that’s the problem. Jen only seems to be concerned about herself.
Co-sign to all of the above. There is a very thin line between pity and contempt, and Aniston crossed that line years ago.
I hear what you’re saying but I still think there’s an inordinate amount of hate for her compared to many celebs. I’m not sure the media would have let her move on during those post-divorce years because the triangle was too juicy of a story. I guess I’m saying the media is largely to blame.
As for being concerned only for herself…no, she’s not a UN commissioner like AJ, but neither is the majority of Hollywood. She seems no more or less self absorbed than most of her peers. Just sayin. Don’t mean to start a war here.
@Esmom, who wrote: “I’m not sure the media would have let her move on during those post-divorce years because the triangle was too juicy of a story. I guess I’m saying the media is largely to blame.”
Jen could have stopped the ‘triangle’ business anytime she wanted. All she had to do was be upfront about her love life. Instead of sneaking around hiding her hookups (remember when she was caught in the car on a date with the ‘soon to be’ ex-husband of one of her best friends?).
There are still people today who honestly didn’t know that Jen and Vince Vaughn started dating in July 2005, at the same time she was going on Oprah drinking champagne and celebrating being part of the ‘First Wives Club.’ So I ask you, ‘why’ didn’t people know about the relationship, especially since Jen and Vince dated until December 2006? Because she and her PR Team deliberately downplayed the romance.
If she had been ‘in our faces’ with Vince after they got together in 2005, letting the world know she had moved on, instead of giving televised interviews with Oprah and Diane Sawyer, telling the world how hurt she was over the “W” Mr. and Mrs. Smith spread showcasing an unhappily married John and Jane Smith and declaring that Brad was missing a ‘sensitivity’ chip, she could have said “Oh I don’t want to talk about that. I’ve moved on. I’m with Vince now and we’re very happy.”
Then the press would have dropped it … or it would have suffered a death on its own as her fans would have had no reason to buy all of those “Jen and Brad Secretly Talk,” “Angie Jealous of Brad’s Friendship With Jen,” “Jane Pitt Likes Jen Better” tabloids, which fed the triangle.
See?
Totally Emma. I’m so totally surprised that some people don’t ‘get’ why she is hated. Where have they been? Living under a rock? She is a horrible person who threw Brad under the bus and spurred on Team Aniston and encouraged all the hate Angelina got including hiring her bestie Handler as her attack dog. She cried as soon as the Vanity Fair reporter entered the room, for sympathy. That same article, she threw Brad under a bus and said she was “only 2%” to blame. She makes passive-aggressive digs at Brad and at Angelina for 8 years and mentions her marriage or divorce in some way in almost every interview she does. She courts the media and her publicist Huvane has been caught out putting out stories about her. She becomes besties with Handler and walks on stage on cue grinning after Handler introduced her to the audience via mocking Angelina Jolie. And making racist comments about her CHILDREN! This happened twice, so it was no accident. Handler and Aniston go away for a vacation just the 2 of them and immediately on return Handler launches into her most vicious attack of Angelina yet. Think they didn’t talk about Angelina on that vacation? Aniston is a master manipulator, a spiteful, vicious manipulative bitch who has masterminded this vendetta against Angelina. She is just getting it back what she sent out. She is without any heart or soul or morals. JA is a cruel manipulative heartless woman and I don’t see one positive thing about her. She has unleashed and actively encouraged enormous hate against Angelina Jolie for 8 years. She could have stopped at any time, but she has actively encouraged the media to go after Angelina and courted it. And now, it turns out that she is a homewrecker herself who stole Justin from Heidi Bivens. She is evil and rotten to the core and I’m stumped people can’t see why. Or maybe they just don’t want to. I wish people would wake up and see what a spiteful manipulative heartless bitch she is. She doesn’t care that she hurts Angelina and her children and encourages sites like Female First who make death threats against Angelina and her children. She doesn’t care that she hurt Heidi and blindsided her when she destroyed Heidi’s life by sleeping with her man. She doesn’t get anywhere near the hate she should.
She was never a hottie, especially when she got with Brad…talk of the day was, what did he saw in her, an average looking TV actress when he could have had a Charlize instead…
Lets get serious for once, many people at the time thought he could do way better than Aniston and didn’t understand his choice.
The only women who were in par beauty wise with Pitt were Robin Givens, Thandie Newton and Angelina Jolie. Courtney Cox would have been right up in that league if he had dated her instead of Aniston at the time.
I agree with that. So maybe the hate started because people were amazed/envious/jealous that someone so average could land someone so hot?
Me too Esmom! I always hear good things about her and I think she’s adorable!
Until now I’ve been neutral to neutral positive on JA and I definitely think she’s attractive but that Aveeno ad made me cringe. It really lowered my opinion of her. Even if she was gorgeous there is still no need to state “the beautiful Jennifer Aniston.” It’s obnoxious. I’m sure she had final approval over that ad and the fact that she’s apparently okay with it says a lot about her as person.
I’ve read over and over and over again that she has her meals delivered (or brought in by an assistant) from one of those specialised diet/fresh food services, so I find it hard to believe she’d even “grab something to go” from the cafeteria. (Unless they’re preparing special lunches per her requirements.)
It is unfortunate she pulled the movie from Detroit – talk about a city that could have benefitted and used the money!
A more logical explanation (if it is indeed true that Detroit was a consideration) is that it would be quite expensive to insure filming in Detroit. The minute you turn your back, someone is making off with part of the set. Let’s be realistic here.
I see your point, and I bet security would be quite a significant expense as well. It’s been years since I’ve been in Detroit (family), but I’ve heard it’s gotten quite bad.
Several films have filmed in the Detroit area. get over the stupid stereotypes.
A friend of a friend has a child that has been in a movie with her. They said she was pretty nasty to the child actors. When I heard that I knew immediately she would never have kids.
I think she is pretty self absorbed. I used to be very Team Aniston but as the years have gone by I can see why they split up. He wanted more in life then to sit around on beach in Mexico.
I’m not a fan, but I don’t believe she moved the movie to a different location. My understanding is the budget is very small and Jennifer had to audition for the role. So with all that does anyone really think she has that kind of power or pull to dictate the location of a film. Nope. I have not heard of her being that way on set. Again not a fan. But I find it funny that her fans are so willing to believe the worst about everyone but her.
still I say BS
You really shouldn’t believe everything you read…
What exactly did I miss state. That she had to audition for the role. TRUTH. She said so herself. That the budget is not big..TRUTH. So how is what I wrote not true.
Seriously I didn’t say anything negative about her so what exactly am I believing that is not true.
I agree – the film location story was total BS, I can’t believe anyone bought that one. And I’ve never really heard of her being diva-ish, she seems to remain friends with many past costars. Even if she wants to eat lunch alone, so what?
Reminds me of when Kate Winslet got blasted by some lady for not getting out of her plane seat and spending her flight entertaining the lady’s kids. I think some people put expectations on celebs and when they inevitably fail to meet them, they run to the tabloids to bitch about it.
She should never wear a beret. Very, very few women (or men, for that matter) can make a beret rock.
The beret pic reminds me of Stephen King characters. Not a Carrie, but a much lesser role, with lame supernatural powers that are annoying.
The last film Aniston was in that I remotely cared about was Office Space.
Yeah.
So, she’s not rude to anyone, but just eats by herself? That b!$@#.
LOL !! Good one
If you’ve worked on a film set shooting far from home on location, especially one that’s not big budget, you’ll find that the atmosphere is rather familial. Everyone’s pulling together just to make it work. So for someone like Jen to be stand-offish and demanding, it affects the general camaraderie, you know?
If freaking Tim Robbins can manage to roll with the “little people” then Jen can too. It’s funny because she is probably the most replaceable person on that set. You could trade her in for someone else and it wouldn’t affect ticket sales at all.
Can’t stand her! Just go away!!!!!
She has lots of flair
Half the reason she works so much is because people in the industry, from studio heads to caterers really like her. I seriously doubt that she’s decided at this point in time to turn on the diva behavior and alienate the very people she depends on for gigs.
Most of the reason she gets these left over roles is because she has a very, very good PR team (publicist and management). She has even mentioned that she has to audition for roles!
She also does not get paid very much per film and so has to make more films to make the same amount some actresses can get for one film.
I do not think people really like her. It seems she would get real annoying after 5 minutes of talking about her hair.
Your post reminds me some Twihards who were laughing at Aniston for earning only $11m last year after doing a lot of films and yet Kstew earned a cool $34m for the same number of films. Then they were discussing how her asking price has gone down. Oh it was funny.
People are confusing tabloid Jennifer with “moviestar” Jennifer. She’s not very powerful or as in demand that her fans make her out to be. When it comes to gossip she is A-list but C-list in movies. The majority of Jennifer’s films are lower budget films, $20-$40 million. The only time she does bigger budget films is when she’s cast as the girlfriend of a big male star or in an ensemble film. Eventhough she’s been doing movies for years, Jennifer still only makes $6-$8 million and doesn’t receive backend. Other actresses make more after just a couple of films. That’s why the story about moving locations is laughable.
As much as I don’t like her my brother in law recently met her & he said she was nice. He said she doesn’t look like a man bc she has a small frame but she looks a little old. He said she was still cute though.
I never liked her face, but she has a fantastic figure and her skin is gorgeous. How is it that all the sun (she’s never not tanned), alcohol and god knows what else this woman subjects her body to have not turned her into a wrinkled mess.
Oh, and I have to say, if you’re pale, Aveeno sunblock for kids is fantastic. My job requires me to spend a lot of time in Florida and it’s the best I’ve used, even over super expensive stuff.
If she eats by herself it’s because she has weird eating habits and probably an eating disorder so instead of rumors about how obsessed about food she is, she would much rather be thought of as a diva or an elitist.
I think hell is about to freeze over because I am going to defend her on this one. So get out the ice skates and start making your way underground (or to Kansas City…same thing right? No offense to any residents of Kansas City reading this…sorry about being snowed in).
As much as I loathe Jennifer Aniston (and I mean LOATHE) for being completely shallow and vapid and for her “poor wittle me” bit when Brad dumped her; I do not believe this story is true. I can 100% believe she has insecurities on her looks, but I don’t think she’s capable of this type of diva behavior without a valid reason. The Detroit thing: I mean it’s Detroit: America’s most dangerous city I can see her maybe saying something if someone hadn’t already said something. Her co-stars have always said she’s super friendly so I find it hard to believe she wouldn’t mingle with them and invite to one her vapid house parties when they return to L.A. I can’t believe I’m defending her but I just do not see this story being very true.
I’ve also always gotten the impression that Aniston is a natural introvert. A quiet lunch on your own is the perfect time for an introvert to recoup energy (introverts lose energy when interacting with lots of people, and gain energy when alone, or one on one with another quiet person). She’s also probably using the time to plan her wedding, or oversee the planning of her wedding. I call BS on the ‘diva’ aspect of this story.
She is mildly attractive with a great body and good hair but that woman is FAR from beautiful.
She looks 10 yrs younger in the 1st and 2nd pic!
She needs to stop damaging her hair or she WILL have to wear wigs in a few years!
So she doesn’t want to hang out with her co-workers – so what? Neither do I! LOL
And I highly, highly doubt that any actor would have the power to singlehandedly change a movie shooting location. Puh-leez. Radar is being just silly today!
Most posters on this site will believe anything written negatively of Jennifer Aniston. Anything negative of Angelina Jolie, forget it! It’s pretty amusing!
YOU obviously don’t read the Angie threads. But hey think what you want even if not true. There will be an Angie tread up and watch for the people who find offensive to say something negative about Jennifer go to town on Angie. quoting every nasty tabloid rumor or gossip as pure fact.
So not sure what you are reading, but it is not true what you just wrote.
Justin looks like he’s been botoxed.
I’m sorry– did I miss the part about her being a diva?
Wanting to be alone on your down time is a diva move now? Does this mean I have to spend my lunch breaks with my workmates or I’ll be labelled a diva? The location of her trailer is irrelevant, and her mode of transportation probably stipulated in her contract– neither of which sound scandalous to me.
This is really reaching. Here I was expecting Mariah Carey-style demands like say: three trailers, hogging the film’s budget for makeup/hairstyling/clothes, lunch for everyone catered to her tastes only, demanding the script be rewritten to give her more scenes/lines, showing up late, forgetting her lines, etc. etc. You know, actual moves pulled by diva-esque actors in the past. Lets spread those rumors and make this story juicer! Next.
+1 Well said
It could be acute Seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Even people who reside in cold weather winter climates can suffer from lack of sunshine and freezing cold temperatures.
While filming Wanderlust Jenn was considered the life of the party and often hosted parties and barbeques for the cast & crew at her rented house by a nearby lake.
Probably in an effort to rope in Justin! She seems to have made a play for him.
He saw $$$$$ when looking at her.
Now he is going to the Oscars, flying in private jets, going on Ellen, signing with CAA.
Dating America’s #1 victim and cry baby has its perks.
kio beat me to it. She seduced Heidi Bivens partner of 14 years and slept with him during the movie. No doubt screwing her co-star and having an affair with him had a lot to do with her ‘hosting parties’ for him and the crew.
She is beautiful. Meanwhile,i know this is a gossip site, but saying she made Aveeno call her beautiful and ridiculing her for it without proof is ridiculous
Fat noses, huge chins and thin lips are not beautiful. Her face shape is also odd.
Her pr team has done a very good job making people think her face is beautiful.
She is very plain when compared to the truly beautiful and feminine women in Hollywood.
Her face is nothing special.
Justin is a dork. That’s all.
She was the artist formerly known as Jennifer Anniston. She shall now be referred to as The Beautiful Jennifer Anniston.
I’m not a fan, but I doubt this story.
Even if it’s true, she sounds like the dullest diva ever. Lunch alone? Meh. No story here.
She’s pretty, bordering on cute, but beautiful? No.
You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear but she has tried her best with plenty of money, lol.
I still remember the tabs all over BP for dating the fugly not CCox the beauty. True facts from the past.
I do not think she is very friendly on set especially now that she has to do one small quick film after another to make the money she once made in one studio film. They were trying to sell her small films in Berlin Film Fest and so far there are no takers. She is aware of this reality.
I think she will one day be back on TV where the money is for most actors as they age, especially women, in an ensemble once more as she can’t carry a project by herself.
Well I’m going to go against the grain here. I think she is beautiful. I don’t think she always photographs well but she looks gorgeous in that red dress! I love her style. She gives off a kind of cool chick vibe to me. Laid back, good sense of humour and hard working.
No,even Lainey (who I don’t like) talked about about meeting her in person at the Toronto Film Festival several years ago and said she lacks star quality (she used Angelina Jolie and JLO as examples of stars that stand-out on the RC), she’s taupe (like Jen Garner), looks her age in person (not the best skin), her hair is much thinner and limp in person, but has a sick body and pretty color eyes. She was in her mid-30’s at that time.
I agree. She looks like a nice, chill person.
Like I always say…she is as boring as a bowl of plain oatmeal. Sometimes she can be funny ( I liked her in office space) most of the time I think her acting sucks. So I don’t see the appeal and why she is such a huge star. Some men I know find her sexy. I’m bisexual and she is most definitely not my type. The only thing I give her credit for is not overdoing the botox. I read an interview from her years ago where she said she would keep scissors in her car to cut random split ends from her hair between takes on her first tv show. I’ve never forgotten it because it seemed so vacuous and vain to me.
I’m from where this is filming & hometown papers have nothing but nice things to say about JA around town. I watched filming on occasion during The Break up in my old Chicago neighborhood & she kind of kept to herself in her trailer then, too, until it was time for filming a scene, so that’s just how she works. This story seems like hogwash.
Can’t believe I’m defending Aniston, but she’s always given me the impression she’s an introvert. Lunch alone is am awesome time to recoup energy (introverts lose energy around crowds of people) and probably also a good time to plan her wedding. I hate how introverts are labelled as stuck up.. you just need to approach us one on one and you’ll get a great reception. Giant lunches? Not so much.
I’ve met both JA and AJ, and i can tell you that just first impressions (handshake and hello), you can really feel the difference just being around them.
There’s something cold and unapproachable about JA. Her smile always seems a bit forced. Her hair/looks a bit too staged. There’s a cold vibe just being around her watching her on set. I get the feeling that she doesnt want to mingle with her fans or actors (unless shes sleeping with them of course), and when forced into it, its a cold, unfriendly vibe. Like she’s entitled and the whole movie business is beneath her or something (my take on it anyway).
Angie on the other hand just emits beautifulnes. You can really feel she likes her fans, and she’s seems so at ease and nonstaged, like she’s ‘real’ for a lack of a better term. When you shake AJ’s hand, she looks you in the eye and smiles in a way that makes you feel like she appreciates the gesture/support from you, not the other way around.
JA is an average actress at best. Still amazed she got more popular than Cox from Friends, but the hair and permanent erect nipples wins that age crowd i guess.
+1! VERY well said!!
jolie likes people…normal people….that video where she came meeting that fan with the ‘adopt me AJ’ was priceless.
I think she truly like people, like real simple folks. You should to embrace the misery of this world.
For having worked a day in a refugee camp full of HIV positive orphans and desease, i can tell that poeple who go there, women like Jolie who don’t hesitate to embrace the, cries of little kids, the dirt, the staunchest smell of desease, diarhea… death that struck you at each corner…you should really love people.
There was that image of Jolie embracing fully a nude child in Africa, the child had only skin on his bones…there is just that image that speaks volume.
Also i remembered how Jolie was so cool and all smiley and talkative, sharing the same meal, at the same table of those military men and women in Irak.
She has eaten spiders, stuff most of us wouldn’t there, ect…with refugees.
This alone show a greater love for human beings. She struck me as a woman who will ask you about what you are doing and get interested in whatever you are doing because she seems so cool and relaxed and devoided of any arrogance or contempt with the most poverished of us.
What about the image when Jolie walked on water? ….. Spare me
so Summer are you saying you don’t believe Jolie has done these things?
Or are you saying people shouldn’t describe the things she’s done?
Or does it just bother you that people are inspired by Jolie’s work?
Or she is busy/tired/using her breaks to prepare for her scenes.
I remember Brad saying that Jen was like a warm fire & everyone would gather round. I worked in the industry for years & never heard a negative about her.
Oh spinner! leave it to you.
Still bringing up Brad almost a decade later.
You sure are obsessed with their FORMER relationship that you trash AJ threads and praise JA for being plain & boring.
With her publicist people would not dare bash her in public. But it says something when men who are not dependent on her $$$$ leave her and move on super fast.
I actually think you ARE JA or a very close friend.
I guess that warm fire was eventually a bit too warm for Brad…
LOL!!!!!
Probably more like the fire went out.
You didn’t hear than what Jay Mohr said about working with her, or what her ex boyfriend Tate Donovan said about her, for example. Just saying.
First of all, I think that it’s a good idea for her to have her own trailer. Like some have mentioned, she’ll need the privacy in order to plan her wedding, because despite the propaganda stating that America is ‘rooting for her’, there’s no doubt that someone would sell her out if they stumble onto any info about it.
As for the beautiful Jennifer Aniston, I wish I could laugh at this, but I can’t. Seemingly having a compliment towards the spokesperson built into an endeavor designed to promote a product seems misguided and self-serving. Sure, there’s the most interesting man in the world (or whatever the dude is called), but that was tongue in cheek. Is the beautiful bit supposed to be tongue in cheek?
Plus, I keep hearing Kelly LeBrock’s Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful in my head, which was designed to be cheeky, despite the fact that LeBrock was beautiful. Actually, I’m hearing The beautiful Jennifer Aniston-no wait- it was the company’s choice to say I’m beautiful… really… it wasn’t me. I’m nice… love me more.
So now she’s labeled a diva because she’s spending HER break time in the way that someone else sees fit? I would be PISSED if I was expected to do certain things on my break. Why? Because it’s MY break. I earned it just like everyone else. Some things I do on my break: call friends, make appointments (dog groomer, hair appt., doctor), play Words with Friends, sit and chill. I bet Jen does yoga and then eats lunch. Probably calls Justin, too. I don’t get the big deal here.
This story is hilarious, Jennifer Aniston has gotten her self and name mixed up with the young, beautiful 22 year old, and Hollywood newest It Girl and academy award winner Jennifer Lawrence. JA is an old hag on her way out.
Calling someone an “old hag” when they’re 44 is ridiculous.
Guess what twentysomethings…someday if you’re lucky you’ll be in your 40’s too and you will not want to be referred to as an “old hag.” Time passes quickly-you’ll be surprised how quickly 40 creeps up on you.
I find her very attractive, mostly because she’s real, not all botoxed and pulled to hell.
She should go back to TV, other than Bruce Almighty and Office Space her movies have stank.
Jennifer is high maintenance but not a diva. I’m sure she has the top of the line SUV and trailer and I can’t imagine her eating the cafeteria food. She’s very specific with her food. I’m amused how much Jennifer’s fans are defending her. It’s just lunch and not that serious. But I get the feeling if this was anybody else they would say she’s cold and stuck up.

——————————————
Yup. One name specifically, lol.
please, not this bitch again…
please, not this b*ch again…
I’m no fan of hers but I think everybody has the right to spend their off the clock lunch hour however they want. I never sit with my coworkers at lunch, even the ones I like and enjoy working with, my lunch hour is my break and I prefer to sit at my desk and get caught up on my blogs or run errands.
I usually read but don’t comment. I just felt compelled today. I don’t understand all the hate for this woman. First, I’ve worked below the line on many movies. Her behavior is typical of most actors on set. There’s nothing remotely divaish about it. Actors rarely eat with the crew and beyond basic pleasantries there’s little interaction. It’s also standard practice that top billed actors get the larger trailers. There’s hierarchy on a movie set just like in a corporate office. No one is put out by it unless the actor’s behavior veers into crazy Lohan territory.
I’m not a even fan. I just remember that she got mildly teary during one interview shortly after her split which was eons ago and it’s been diminished media returns for her ever since. The Brangaloonies are the worst. I don’t think any of these people even thinks about the other anymore but the tabs use invented drama to sell papers and keep the more fanatic fans excited.
@Madchen, who wrote: “I’m not a even fan. I just remember that she got mildly teary during one interview shortly after her split which was eons ago and it’s been diminished media returns for her ever since.”
But that’s just it, and thank you for once again proving my point. Jen didn’t get ‘mildly teary during one interview shortly after her split,’ because her split happened in ‘January’ 2005 and she got ‘mildly teary’ in a couple of interviews during July, August, and September 2005 … months after her separation and after she’d already began a relationship with another man.
Doesn’t that strike you as even a little bit disingenuous?
And no matter how much you guys try to re-write history for her, with all the archives at Blogs and Internet sites, there is ‘no way’ you can convince people that Jen was ‘picked apart’ and treated badly right after her divorce. She road a long wave of goodwill and sympathy after her divorce.
The backlash didn’t even begin for Jennifer Aniston until shortly after her ‘second’ breakup with John Mayer. Do you totally dismiss how Angelina Jolie was treated by the press, Blogs, Internet sites during that time??
I meant to say “She ‘rode’ a long wave of public goodwill and sympathy after her divorce.”
Aaaaand….a Brangeloonie proves my point. No one on this thread has said anything bad about either Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, who are both talented people entitled to their own lives. That being said, I enjoyed your response. The demented and completely thorough intensity of your devotion to one and hatred of the other is what makes the gossip threads worth reading.
I’m not a mega fan of any of the three of them, I like some work they’ve done and I don’t like some work they’ve done. But anybody who is even slightly objective about it can tell you after the breakup Angie was vilified as the home-wrecker and Jen was portrayed as the victim earning her a lot of good will and sympathy. Really, Brad the one who actually cheated on his spouse is the one who somehow gets off without any judgement good or bad and that’s the real issue. Jen did very well the first few years after the breakup, but she allowed her PR team to continue presenting her as a victim far longer than people could tolerate it and that’s why there was a backlash.
She probably just likes to sneak a toke
LMFAO at all the Brangeloonies up in this thread.
+ 1.
Some folks are a little over invested in their stereotype of Saint Ange Saviour of Orphan Children versus The Ageing Bland Diva.
She looked really uncomfortable at the oscars, and the dress she wore was not her normal look was a bit flared at the waist. I think she is pregnant, probably why she wants to be left alone
