Jennifer Aniston is still shilling her haircare line, Living Proof, as well as her endorsement deal with Aveeno, which I practically forgot about. So instead of talking about her hair endlessly, Jennifer gave an interview to In the Cut about her skincare. Which is weird, because while I don’t really have hair-jealousy with Jennifer, I understand why her hair is famous. But I don’t understand why Jennifer would be famous for her skin. At all. She loves to sunbathe, she smoked for years, and her skin tells that tale. You can read the full interview here (as well as a Q&A with her makeup artist Angela Levin), and here are some highlights:
NY Mag: What is your typical daily skin care routine?
Jennifer Aniston: The skin care rule I stand by is simply cleanse, tone, and moisturize. I also try to exfoliate pretty regularly. Awhile back I was doing a movie in the summer heat. Long days with a face full of makeup made my skin react badly. My makeup artist on set did a great thing, she gave me a tube of Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Scrub to use every night. And I’ve been using it ever since.Do you believe women occasionally make the wrong choices with products and their skincare routines?
When I started making enough money to afford high-end, fancy skincare products with sexy bottles and impressive claims, I decided to give them a try. As a result my skin acted up and got irritated. I think sometimes women may be overcleansing their skin. Some products and masks can be too aggressive and irritating for certain skin types. I believe the more simple, natural, and easy the skin care regime, the better off your skin will be.What beauty essentials are always in your bag?
I like to have my favorite lip balm by Dr. Hauschka. I always have Fig lip liner by Estée Lauder, I’ve been using that pencil forever. I really like this concealer pencil by La Femme, which is double ended, one side is a concealer and the other is a highlighter. Sometimes I’ll throw some makeup wipes in my bag, they’re great when I go to the gym or yoga. I usually have a small bottle of my Jennifer Aniston fragrance, in case I need a quick scent touch up.Can you share any other beauty tips that you believe help keep your skin looking gorgeous?
I can never stress enough to my friends that they must do as I do … hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drink lots of water, get enough sleep, exercise, and eat a clean healthy diet, whenever possible.Have you ever been in a situation where you had no other choice but to grab some fast food?
I’ll never forget when Justin and I were on a road trip and we were so hungry. The only thing around was McDonald’s. I think I ordered a Big Mac. Wow, my body did not react well to that! It was like putting gasoline in a purified system. I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible. And I think what you put in your body, as well as stress, is reflected in the quality of your skin.
Ah, don’t you see? She was only recently introduced to the wonders of Aveeno products and now she’s a true believer! She will give blatant product-placement interviews to shill for Aveeno! AVEENO! Of course, she also managed to throw in a reference to her sad little Jennifer Aniston perfume too. Didn’t that “celebrity scent” crash and burn already?
As for her “It was like putting gasoline in a purified system”… I sort of understand what she’s saying. I gave up red meat for several years a while back, and when I tried to reintroduce my system to the occasional hamburger, my body was like “OMFG, STOP IT.” I’m just saying, Jennifer has been eating endless chicken salads for decades now. Her stomach can’t handle a Big Mac. I get it.

Why are people still giving her endorsement deals? It makes me NOT want to buy anything Aveeno and some things I do like and sometimes buy but since she started with them, I just don’t want to.
I am still irritated she is the face of the Breast Cancer t shirt promotion. WHY ? Oh yeah she represents breast cancer SO well.
I am so over this chick, just GO AWAY.
I couldn’t agree more.
I can’t believe people still buy that ‘all natural beauty’ crap her people push in the media. Until this chick stops smoking Doobies and downing margaritas like water, nothing about her will be even close to a ‘purified system.’
Jen, please marry Justin (although I really now think pigs will fly before they get married) and go far, far away from the media.
Furthermore, could someone please tell me how somebody who has admitted to wearing hair extensions for the past decade could get a ‘hair products’ deal??
Exactly. She’s a coke-snorting boozehound with cigarette-damaged vocal chords. I think the Big Mac got the raw end of that deal.
Plus, I’ll take a Big Mac over her fillers and Botox any day.
@sullivan –
“I think the Big Mac got the raw end of that deal.”
that is hilarious!
This is the same girl who seems unable to find a product to take care of those damn flyaways that are always standing straight up from her head. I hate everything about her hair – would never buy any hair or beauty product she endorses.
I actually use the Living Proof defrizz spray and it works wonders on my hair and I resisted using it for a long time because I couldn’t stand the thought of buying anything from Jennifer Aniston. It still kind of pains me that I’m giving her any money, but it’s a good product. I take solace in knowing that they were doing their thing before she got involved and then she became part owner.
And she endorses J&J/Aveeno products? Ugh. Estee Lauder supports breast cancer and yet their products can cause it. How f*cked up is that?
http://mommyfootprint.com/johnson-johnson-building-a-brand-with-carcinogens/
“t makes me NOT want to buy anything Aveeno and some things I do like and sometimes buy but since she started with them, I just don’t want to.”
change your name to stepford wife – that makes you a non thinking slave to advertising. God, how dumb. I would never buy anything just cause a celeb said to, not not buy it because because some celeb said to.
I SO agree! Who wants anything this wildly money-hungry witch has anything to do with? Who wants her crappy old skin? A “purified system”–really? She has an ego as big as Montana. Why do people still care about this no-talent? She had one good role in a sitcom and since then has played the same part (45-year-old ingenue) in every stupid romance movie she can get her greedy hands on. She is just insufferable.
What a hypocrit and why do people buy it? She is a poster girl for cancer but she is always sun tanning and smokes. Can’t eat a Big Mac but can eat chicken, drink alcohol, and is endorsed by a skin care company when she is a sun worshipper. Next, she will be writing a “marriage guide” or “dating success strategies” or “how to be a good friend!! ” So over her and the same character she plays in every movie.
I dont mind blatant product placement. That means she’s working for her endorsement money. As opposed to signing w Pepsi and being papped drinking Coke (ahem, Britney). Also, I want a cheeseburger.
I want one too, and it’s only 9:15am.
I’m thinking packing gym clothes before heading to work was probably a good idea haha
yep, I’m with you guys. I know what I’ll be eating for lunch! (it’s only around 8:30am here)
Ugh, I caved and got a taco bell soft taco meal for lunch. I am going to regret this SOOOOO much when I’m at the gym. And yet… it tasted so good.
I haven’t had a Big Mac in years; I might just want to run out and by one.
Oh and that’s not because I’m one of those people who frowns on fast food, I just usually perfer a Wendy’s Burger.
I’m addicted to Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers. yum!!
I’ll get a cheeseburger with you ladies but I want a REAL one. None of this Big Mac shit.
It hits the spot in a totally different way than a ‘real’ burger does. It’s sort of like a shame-f*ck – sometimes you just need one to make you tingle in totally different ways, you just dont want people to know and judge.
OMG, Anna, that is SPOT ON. Dammit, now I want a Big Mac. Actually, this is my trick – I get one or two double cheeseburgers with Big Mac sauce. Because that’s what makes it a Mac – and then you don’t have to deal with the messy lettuce and extra bun.
Goddamn I want one now.
Me too on the real cheeseburger!
I am with her on the Big Mac thing — the last time I had one I felt like crap.
I think my body would reject a Big Mac too. Yuck. I like homemade food (or Five Guys, does that count as homemade?)
No, Stef, [insert restaurant name] does not count as homemade 🙂 Unless you live on the premises, of course 🙂
I love a good burger, but I don’t think I could handle McD’s either.
There is a little 80 year old man that has a stand by my house. His griddle has been in use since the 1930s and it is soooooo well seasoned. He runs it with his 3 ex-wives, and he is quite a sassy character! He gets his meat locally, and that combined with his magic griddle make for an exceptional and cheap burger!
@Tiffany: I smell a sitcom!
‘Cause you need a little gasoline to get your engine RUNNING……
Last I heard, McDonald’s also sells salads. How was she force fed a Big Mac? Is this a new Micky D policy that I’m not aware of?
This is a blatant rip off of an article Angie gave long ago. About how she and Brad would take their motorcycles and go off into the desert and eat at Taco Bell. Please. I don’t believe this woman ate a Big Mac. I don’t know why I’m even commenting except to say she’s a rip off woman. At least give credit to Angie for the comment.
good lord that is a f*cking stretch. she can’t mention eating junk food without it being brought back to her copying AJ? this comment is beyond delusional.
Some people seem to have got lost in the bermuda triangle of celebrity delusional soap operah.
Thanks for the chuckle 🙂
I’m a AJ stan and I even think that your comment is ridiculous 🙂
You remember that kind of detail about an interview Angie gave “long ago”?
And you believe anorexic looking Angie actually ate a taco bell. Get real!
Why not? While there haven’t been any photographic evidence of going to Taco Bell, there has been pics/videos of drive-thru runs to McDonald’s and KFC (KFC was during her pregnancy with Knox and Vivienne). In fact, I remember a lot of criticisms lobbed at the JPs for their fast food runs.
And whenever Angelina takes the kids to the movies, a lot of popcorn, hot dogs, Red Vines, and other movie foods are consumed… suspect Angelina got her eat on in those instances too.
Believe it or not.
Mmm…Big Mac…
That’s what I’m saying. Poor broad is missing out!
I know. Haven’t had one in years, but this is making me want one. It’s like White Castle, every now and then you just have to have it, despite regretting it big time LOL.
I don’t think the comment was ridiculous.. JA taking a road trip with Justin.. Oh pleaz. Tate Donovan talked about how she wouldn’t set foot in a bed and breakfast so, now we are to believe she takes road trip’s and eat Mcdonalds.
I mostly eat fish and chicken but my body crave red meat at least once a month. I need a juicy hamburger or steak once in awhile. My body feels good afterwards.
I can’t handle fast food either. Thank god I live in a place where fast food isn’t the standard. Living clean is the best.
+1
In a city of 500,000 we have just two McDonald’s franchises. Two Wendy’s, two Burger Kings, three Taco Bells. Not even one KFC! People here (including myself) frown on fast food quite a bit, and the rest of the food in town is so good.
That said, when I want a hamburger there’s an awesome bison burger I go for in town, all made on site. McDonald’s it is not.
Where do you live?:)
Same here. The problem isn’t the meat (which is what people usually focus on). It’s the incredible amount of chemicals IN the meat, plus the HFCS in the bread and the pesticides on the veggies. It’s a chemical sandwich. If your body can tolerate it, that’s a definite problem. It means that your body has become acclimated to a substandard diet. It would be normal for the body to reject the plethora of man-made chemicals, the same way it would reject an ingestion of poison.
+1000
Sorry, but that’s a load of crap. The body is designed to survive on all kinds of edible things, and to sort the good from the bad. If you can’t digest a Big Mac, one of the most processed foods you can buy, your digestive system isn’t functioning properly. You sound like a coddled middle-class white person.
The human body didn’t evolve with chemicals in it’s diet. Obviously, not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford to go all organic, but from a sheer evolutionary point of view, you’re probably better off trying to avoid saturating yourself with things your body isn’t designed to handle when you can.
I’ll also add that I’ve often wondered if the growth hormones used to fatten up cattle/chicken etc quickly doesn’t also play a part in the obesity epidemic that has hit certain countries.
Just entering a mcdonalds makes me want to puke, the smell of what they call food is just beyond appalling.
I understand the burger thing I had the same reaction after I gave up soda. Try drinking one of those after a year or so without it burning isn’t the word lol
This is what her skin looks like in the sunlight up close:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/706/jenniferclose.jpg/?sa=0
She’s really not a good choice and it sounds too preachy for her to rag on a Big Mac because her body is supposedly some sort of temple. Jennifer still smokes (on/off) and she drinks a lot.
Also anyone else remember when some yahoo article said she spent 4,000 a day on beauty? And she said since a teenager she’s only used a 2 dollar cetaphil face bar wash? Well, now she’s telling us she uses an aveeno scrub as her facial wash? Change much?
P.S. I posted this before in another Jennifer thread but no I don’t have problems with wrinkles or anything, I just don’t get Jennifer fans saying she’s amazingly young looking.
I posted this in defense of her previously:
http://www.celebitchy.com/274980/jennifer_aniston_signs_on_to_be_the_newest_face_of_aveeno_good_choice/
“Oh come on, to be fair, Jennifer has decent skin and amazing skin if you consider all the tanning she’s done.
If you look at close ups of Naomi Watts (Jen’s age) her skin is way worse than Jennifer’s and Naomi lives a healthy lifestyle, and most people think she looks amazing for her age and has gorgeous skin.”
The point is, I get annoyed at false advertising like Jennifer does as most of her skin care comes from laser peels as she admits and not from Aveeno products.
You’re very right EmmaV1
She still smokes and drinks on a regular basis. To claim a big mac is the worst is so fake, but she is fake. Everything about her is fake.
I’d respect her if she lost her minion friends and she acted like the successful business woman she is. Instead she still lives in the 90’s and thinks we can’t see through her BS.
Aveeno makes me break out like crazy. It’s so packed with damaging ingredients all it does is exfoliate and moisturize, but introduces bad stuff into your open pores. Sand and olive oil would work better!
Thanks FLORC
I keep telling people that Jen smokes it’s just nice to hear someone else confirm it. I think TMZ caught her once a long time ago with a smoke in her mouth.
+1. A Staniston was in a tizzy a couple of months back because I mentioned that she’s smoking again, and there were photos to prove it. Told me AJ’s people had them photoshopped! (lol)
FLORC – That was my thought… She’s known for her love of margaritas. How is alcohol not poisoning her purified system? please.
Florc how do you know this? Read it in US Weekly so it must be true?
If a skincare company wanted a 4O something to promote their products why didn’t pick JLo or Mariah they have beautiful flawless skin. Ive heard several actors comment about Jlo’s complexion.
Do people seriously not know that Je nifer Aniston is a heavy smoker? Really?
Lol epithany, her fans who seriously think Angelina or anyone who works with her would care that much to go to that extreme lengths, are seriously unhinged. Just proves my theory about JA fans.
Holy cow, granted she doesn’t look bad for her age.. I’m 48 have dime serious health problems, have been tanning since I was young (still do at times). However I don’t drink, smoke, only wear mascara/eyeliner/lipgloss use oil of olay facial cleansers the few times I do wear the mascara/liner and wash my face at night and in the morning only if I am going anywhere w/ dial plain soap & I look younger than she does. Heck most of my friends my age look younger thsn she does. Point is for all her money, spas, etc etc…. The hype about her I just don’t get? I mean seriously I could see Aveeno approaching Angelina or another actress that really does have beautiful skin w/o makeup and actually is known for their complexion in a good way. JAN is not the first yo pop in my mind when good complexions are mentioned. Thanks for posting the links. Wish more peeps could see what most look like w/o photoshop & dim lighting so there would be less insecurity among women.
Yeah. Given how tan she usually is its doubtful I’m going to trust her opinion on skincare.
She looks like a Shar Pei. Texture, color- My mother is 66 and has better skin than this woman.
I always, always think about the brand association with her manufactured image, leathery tanned skin and Aveeno when I see a commercial. I just never understand why they think she should be their “face”.
The part that sends me over the edge is how they have to say “the beautiful Jennifer Aniston”. She was a cute girl when she was younger but shoe horning those words into an ad is just weird.
Whatever happened to the Aniston who used to chain smoke and love Margaritas at Lucy’s in LA? Oh, yah, the pot, too. This is as ridiculous as her “lolavie” perfume–pretentious, much?
And her skin is caked with make-up, must be even scarier without
Wow. She looks older than I do and have almost 7 years on her.
I’d bet that if she were seeing the same kind of money from MickeyD’s that she sees from Aveeno and whatever that hair product is that she’s shilling this week, that Big Mac would have been the secret to her great gams and lustrous hair. 😛
LOL!! Love that comment!!
Yep. 🙂
She forgot to mention all the cigarettes and alcohol she consumes as part of her “pure” lifestyle.
exactly what I was going to say. What the hell is alcohol and tobacco doing in a purified system? And one big mac will do less harm than a bender in Mexico! Besides, isn’t she / wasn’t she a regular pot smoker too?
When did tequila become “natural and organic?”
I actually just had organic tequila last night. It was pretty smooth…
So many of these women claim to exercise and diet but lose weight by smoking and starving.
I actually don’t disagree that a burger can make you feel sick if you’re not used to eating them, but why the Big Mac? There are many things at McD that would be better, like salads and grilled chicken wraps. I don’t think this happened — I think she just wants to make a point about how great her diet is and made this up.
@Cece – I agree, that story about fast food probably never even happened. She just needs to ‘illustrate’ her ‘superiority’ when it comes to being ‘healthy’.
She has to build herself a ladder to reach that purity-pedestal, in order to look down on we peasants properly.
@Agnetha, who wrote: “She forgot to mention all the cigarettes and alcohol she consumes as part of her “pure” lifestyle.”
Not to mention all the weed.
Just an aside, marijuana IS more natural than smoking cigarettes, and the risk of cancer from smoking it not nearly as high as the risk from smoking cigarettes. Big tobacco companies pump their cigarettes full of extra chemicals, many of which are carcinogens, and some of which are intended to make the cigarette more addicting. In college, I quit smoking cigarettes before weed and my health dramatically improved almost immediately when I stopped the cigs—was able to start running again, asthma all but disappeared, good lung capacity, etc. I didn’t feel much of a difference when I stopped smoking weed (except for I wasn’t high anymore, obviously).
@Ellie, who wrote: “Just an aside, marijuana IS more natural than smoking cigarettes, and the risk of cancer from smoking it not nearly as high as the risk from smoking cigarettes.”
Anything you ‘smoke,’ and then hold the smoke in your lungs, affects your lungs. I wasn’t taking about cancer, I was pointing out the irony of the ‘pristine vessel’ image she’s going for, because she’s FAR from it.
Planet Earth calls Aniston! I don’t know what kind of mc donald’s she went to but i’m pretty sure they don’t just have burgers on the menu but salads as well. anyway, who does she think she is??
That’s what I was going to say. Nobody made her order a Big Mac; they have beds of wilted lettuce with pressed chicken on it there, they call it a “salad”.
I don’t get the hair or skin endorsements either. Her skin isn’t great between the sun she worships and the smoking Aveena is good but it won’t work miracles. Wow she ate a big Mac once why didn’t she start off at something smaller like a cheeseburger if she hadn’t eaten red meat for ages? I can’t even eat a big Mac and I eat red meat.
Actually, although she is SO annoying that she almost makes me want to slap her – and I’m the girliest of anti-violence pacifists you could imagine – I get it too. I don’t really eat fast food or much processed food at all – not a snob or a health thing, I just like cooking. About once a year or something, I get McD or a Burger King or somesuch at the cinema or wheresuch, and it always tastes ok. But after I’ve finished it, I get a chemical aftertaste that seems to last forever and my teeth feel disgusting and coated for hours.
+1 to all of your comment 🙂
I sort of get it too. I think Jennifer phrased it very poorly and it comes across as sounding quite pretentious IMO – the ‘purified system’ bit is quite a stretch considering she smokes and drinks.
But in my experience, the less I eat junk food*, the more unpleasant it is for my digestive system.
*I had a debate about what counts as ‘junk food’ the other day with a friend, so for the purposes of this thread I’ll just say that when I say ‘junk food’, I’m referring to McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, et al. Fast food restaurants with a lot of additives.
I’m afraid I just can’t classify my precious cookies as junk food 😉
Cookies might not be the healthiest food, but they’re definitely not junk! Besides, you can make ’em. Can’t be junk. It’s the law. I make tablet (a bit like fudge) and you couldn’t get anything less healthy. But it’s not junk and I stuff it down like there’s no tomorrow. That’s the law, too. 😉
I think she meant “purified system” in the sense that she eats organic, probably low fat and I would suspect that since she has a cook, no processed foods. Smoking (or not) doesn’t really enter into the question when you’re talking about your digestive system.
As for the margueritas… those too could be organic. Ice cubes are probably frozen SmartWater, lol
Aveeno was recommended to my daughter by her dermatologist. Whatever one might think of Aniston, at least she’s chosen a product that actually works and is affordable to everyone as opposed to whatever “is the expensive latest trend with good marketing that doesn’t really work” *cough* Creme de La Mer, Strivectin *cough*.
“PaciFISTS”? I’m co-opting that typo 😉
I agree with you ladies. This chick is a snooze and a half but it’s no secret that if you eat clean you feel better. Same with alcohol. The less frequently I drink it, the better I feel. The problem for me is that good beer is so delicious 😉
Ooooh Sixer, I had to look up a tablet recipe, since I’ve never heard of it until your comment. That sounds delish! I love a good fudge and may have to try it!
Fudge? Where’s the fudge?
She wears a lot of heavy foundation.
I didn’t believe it because she said she took a “road trip”. She doesn’t like to travel. Unless Justin is helping her change her mind. She said she is a person of habit. We see that. But she is in a new relationship. So she is working that I’m adventurous; which is an angle because she is not.
She is doing an infomercial for that product. There are a lot of celebrity women who I would love to know their skin care routine. Jennifer is not one of them.
People who rattle on and on about their “clean” diets are so tedious.
Damn, I hate myself for saying this because I’ve never been a JA fan, but I don’t think her skin is bad. She looks fairly typical for a woman in her mid-40s who’s tanned and smoked for years. In fact, I think she looks (generally) pretty natural. I think it’s difficult not to compare her to other wealthy celebs in their mid-40s who clearly spend a lot of money doing chemical procedures and getting injections (Kidman and Cox jump immediately to mind). But when I compare Aniston to my own 40-something friends, her skin looks… familiar. So the fact that she’s talking about Aveeno skin products makes sense to me. Women in their 40s can look at her skin and think, hey, I kind of look like that, maybe I should keep doing what she’s doing.
Pretty sure she bragged recently about the joys of the frequent lasers she uses on her skin so this ‘I use Aveeno hence my awesome skin’ is BS, and she’s being paid to represent them.
I don’t think her skin looks that bad either (at least compared to other mid 40 something people I know).
The comment re: the Big Mac made me laugh, though. As many have pointed out, if she drinks and smokes how pure is her “system” LOL.
It’s really bizarre that Jennifer is doing so much promotion for her products. I’ve never seen a celebrity do so many. Usually it’s just commercials and interviews when the deal is made and the product comes out.
If she wants to have great skin she should probably stay out of the sun. She doesn’t look that great for her age so I’m not really going to take skin care advice from her.
That “food” can do a number on you if you aren’t used to eating it.
Does she still smoke? Because I ‘ve seen that do more harm to skin than poor diet.
Completely! I watch what I eat but am definitely no saint (I love my sweets) and the odd time I have fast food, I feel absolutely disgusting and sick. That sh-t ain’t food!
ITA…the last time I had a cheeseburger from McD’s I had nausea and a FEVER all night. Can you imagine what’s in that mess to cause something like that??? Gross
Skin, hair, teeth, heart, lungs, every organ in the body…
Anyone who smokes saying “do as I do” regarding health and/or beauty is utterly ludicrous.
“I can never stress enough to my friends that they must do as I do”
Sounding a bit Goopy here, and it’s not like she’s known for her flawless skin.
What’s with her fragrance being called her “sad little Jennifer Aniston perfume”? I thought it did well, wasn’t it one of sephora’s best-sellers? And of course she’s gonna say she uses her own brand.
I live in NYC and I’ve never seen her perfume in Sephora or anywhere else.
It still seems to sell well in Australia, not that that’s a big market. But it’s one of the few celeb fragrances I don’t see in bargain bins.
Head over to Wal-Mart
I didn’t know she had one. But I didn’t know about the hair line, either.
I feel the same way after watching any film she’s in-nauseous and sick-now she knows how she makes her audiences feel!
Best comment EVER!!!
She smokes and drinks regularly. Purified system my ass.
She is full of sh*t. Plus she is always tan. I never use “toner” and we’re the same age, and my skin looks a hell of a lot better. I never smoked, and I stopped drinking in my late 20s. And Wendy’s Spicy Chicken twice a year makes me happy.
My occasional indulgence are fries from McDonalds.. Yummm…..
LOL, you see it wrong. The smoke suffocates the germs and the alcohol flushes them out…you end up with a purified system
LOL!
+1
I just want her to go away…… I don’t care what she eats, drinks or smokes. She is a one trick pony, trying to be or stay relevant.
Honestly I don’t find her hair that amazing. The cut she had in 1993 was a thing, but her hair aren’t that special: they look burned.
Her skin is totally purse-like, so no beauty tips from Aniston for me.
And as other commenters stated before: she smokes and drkins, so her lifestyle is not healthy.
I would take skin advice from someone like Dita Von Teese who is devoted to skincare and beauty tips.
Dita rules! I agree – she has flawless skin and is so elegant. But my bet is that companies don’t want to be associated with her day job.
I bet you’re right, but Dita has been the Cointreau face for years (don’t know if she still is), which is very far from skincare stuff but maybe,one day she will promote some beauty thing.
I think she has good skin for her age. Obviously not Cate Blanchett good, but she looks a lot younger than the vast majority of 40+ women I know.
I get what she’s saying about the Big Mac. I used to eat a ton of junk but after a few years on a very healthy diet fast food makes me physically ill, soft drink makes my teeth hurt instantly and anything over than super dark chocolate tastes sickly sweet to me. Your tastebuds change.
that’s true
In Aniston’s World.. Pot, nicotine, coke, chocolates, soy, vodka, raw fish and tequila are legit purified foods..
…”When I started making enough money to afford high-end, fancy skincare products “…
So what happened to these 200$ per month on maintenance? Or were they per week?
I sort of forgot…
I DON’T buy she ATE a Big Mac!! When I was in liver failure I didn’t eat ANY meat period got almost 2 years prior to that I ate chicken only or veggies (occasional junk food & a rare occasion because I am autoimmune anemic would crave rd meat if my iron was too low). 2 yrs after my liver surgery & removal of diseased portion I was craving red meat badly!! Would have killed for a steak. But knowing I don’t eat it I opted for s regular small burger hubby offered to make me. Point is I think she got a regular burger NOT a Big Mac, because even though I’m sure she got sick on that burger (god knows I did even though it was starving for iron). But, it would make her less sympathetic if it were that & not the Big Mac . Come on you don’t eat red meat but then she got the biggest burger on the menu??Just IMO….
Maybe at some point in time the Big Mac was the biggest burger on MD’s menu, but it’s not anymore, not even close. It’s pretty much a small double cheeseburger with the fixings. By today’s burger standards, I dare say it’s small.
Even if its one of their smaller burgers if your not into red meat getting ANY burger w/ 2 Patties I still call BS.
How do you know someone eats clean and organic?
They’ll f*ck*ng tell you!
Now, I’m going to go to mcds at lunch and grab a Big Mac. Those things are freaking delish.
Church!
I’ve never had a Big Mac, but I make up for it by eating an appalling amount of candy. About a forty minute walk away from me, this store called Candy, Candy, Candy! opened up in March. I never allow myself to go in alone, as my profligacy would warrant the use of a sober minder in the future.
I’m eating a Gobstopper right now.
You go, Jo Mama!!
Last time I ate a Big Mac, I felt like a polar bear that got shot in the ass. It was like getting the loaded fries from Checkers/Rally’s–I was just disappointed I ate that much in 1 setting. Still love fast food, don’t even care.
LOL!!
OMG those loaded fries are the most amazing things everrrr. Tried to recreate them – didn’t work. Unfortunately.
OMG! Yes most amazing fries for sure:)!
What are loaded fries? We don’t have as many fast food chains and the products don’t always line up. What’s this Cookiepuss thing?
A “purified system?”
That’s like a hooker bragging that they don’t kiss on the mouth.
Eating a Big Mac in between drags on a cig and a shot of vodka will make ANYONE sick.
She wants so badly to be seen as a pure, natural beauty.
Hanging around with that orange grease ball, Handler and Uncle Terry is really more her speed.
Yeah, those 4 nose jobs were very pure and natural.
LOL! Love the hooker analogy!!
The major elephant in the room is that certain foods won’t agree with you, no matter if you’re super health-conscious or not.
It’s called getting older.
Exactly. And I’ll add that almost any food, if your system isn’t used to it, will give you issues.
Well done!
She drinks vodka, smokes both nicotine and pot, and she’s lecturing about a Big Mac? Have a seat, Jen.
I find it hard to believe she ordered a Big Mac.
The comments on yahoo are so funny about her.
“I can never stress enough to my friends that they must do as I do”
yeah, cause we all know you think you’re the best thing to walk on earth!! Yeah she’s that kind of friend..Goop’s identical twin!
Can you imagine being friends with this woman? She’s insufferable!
Can you imagine living with this woman 24/7? No wonder all her men bail on her. She probably wants to control every minute of their lives.
Oh god I missed that part. Totally insufferable. She and Goop really are spiritual twins.
Also, the “hydrate, hydrate, hydrate” thing can make you very sick and even kill you, particularly if you’re not eating well.
Oh, what’s a little coma between swigs?
She smokes pot right?
Wouldn’t a big mac be munchy worthy?
But a big mac is bad, what they hell would twinkies fall on that ladder?
Do they make organic foods to crave pot smoking? Who would smoke pot and think “Man, I could really go for some tofu!”
I smoke pot regularly. I have never had a Big Mac. Ever.
Let’s not blame poor eating choices on sweet lil’ Mary Jane. She has nothing to do with this broad’s nasty habits.
Gotta go w/ Kitten on this. Someone close to me smokes it has since Vietnam, and looks 20 yrs younger than their age. Told so all the time too. LOL Orig Kitten I tried weed few times because of health before chemo it didnt affect me at all, was like i didnt do it. Didnt try when i had chemo in 97, BUT u bet I tried again w/ the chemo i am now on. actually the smell alone now comes off as a pungent cleaning agent mixed w/ oil..lol but do does my perfumes I have always used, shampoo, & hair color. So just knew it would make me sick but tried it out of desperation. Lol will stick to chemo nausea over how I felt that day;).
Aw. I wish I could make you a liquid Gravol smoothie, or something.
Green Eyes, has the doctor tried ondansetron for your nausea?
You’ve *never* eaten a Big Mac, like, ever? Sorry, don’t believe that. There is not a person alive in a first world country who has never tried a Big Mac. Its like as if you said you’ve never eaten chocolate or ever tried ice cream.
Never smoked pot, but I always got the impression that Mexican food was the go-to food for munchies. The neighbors across the hall always follow their sessions with Taco Bell. But I guess different strokes for different folks, huh.
Anyway, despite my size, I don’t do fast food that often-only when I get coupons in the mail. I used to have Big Macs when I had coupons, but after some stomach upset, I stopped. And lately, the McDoubles have a strange eggy aftertaste – maybe they need to change their grease. For the most part, I’ll go for their smoothies or frappes (the chocolate chip).
But Burger King is my jam, especially the Whopper – no mayo and light ketchup (I add light Ranch dressing when I get home). Again, only if I have a coupon.
The only exception to the no coupon rule is Arby’s – their value curly fries, but mainly their value shakes. Arby’s shakes are the only fast food shake that doesn’t have that yogurty texture and taste, plus it’s really cheap!
Hm, I dunno, in college I remember munching on rice cakes one stoney evening because that was all we could find in my dorm room. I’ve munched carrot sticks too while stoned. I crave crunchy things.
I can’t remember if it was George Carlin or maybe Robin Williams who described this game: you and your stoned friends go to a deli and you have to pick out whatever is on the shelf just ABOVE what you were going to get.
I think the comments would be different if there was something else she talked about. I know she is promoting the line so that is what she is asked about. But even before her being associated with this line this is the ONLY topic of conversation.
I know she has some die hard fans I’m just curious about they they know about her; what her interest are outside of exercise/hair/skin. I don’t think her fans really know much about her. Not the stuff about her being nice/friendly. I never see them post anything about her that shows she has a rounded personality.
but I guess they don’t care.
lisa2 her fans are probably scared to post anything on here because it’s full of loons ready to attack.
I’m not really a fan of Jennifer, but this site is definitely pro jolie-pitt, and I think it’s only one of maybe two sites that are ‘loon friendly’.
I don’t have a problem with that, but let’s not pretend it’s like that on the rest of the internet, or that her fans are going to visit this site (where most posters hate her) just to defend her.
I saw a fan of hers on another site defend her on this story, and their nic was something like “certified Faniston.” I laughed so hard at that.
You got that right Maggie!
You mean like Jen loons?
I try to stick to whole foods, and also do vegan periodically. It’s helped with my energy levels, which were low between work and chasing rug rats. But now I do feel pretty lousy when I indulge in junk food. So, whatever her other vices, I can relate to this point. (my husband is a junk food “junkie”–his words–so there’s always something “bad” in the house!)
So Jenn Aniston can’t handle the meat? I see why Brad left… (Hardinarhar)
HAHAHA!! Funny…
I am not defending her claims of purity or anything, but you all need to remember that smoking and eating involve different organ systems.
You can be a smoker who eats well, and whose digestive system freaks out when it encounters processed crap.
Likewise, you can be a junk-food eating non-smoker whose lungs protest when they encounter smoke.
She really should have clarified what she meant in order to avoid all the vitriol. Or maybe she really does believe that she is pure. Who knows.
Is it really the meat she is speaking to or the quality of said meat? I thought she was an Atkins girl. I have a thyroid issue that I’ve had for about 5 years now and believe me I’ve packed on the pounds and so I am very careful about what I eat but every now and then I have to have a Mac & Don’s cheeseburger and fries. And I have gotten a bad stomach from it. So I believe it. Not always but sometimes.
It has literally been years since my hubby and I ate at any of the big fast food chains since we are vegetarian. But we were on a road trip and there was nothing but Burger King or McDonalds, stop after stop. So we chose BK since my mom told me that they have veggie burgers now and lets just say that we both know how Jennnifer feels! It wasn’t pretty.
she is a smoker, heavy drinking woman, her body is not a “purified system”
“I can never stress enough to my friends that they must do as I do”
And look where it’s got you? Looking like a dried-up bag of cured rawhide.
Aveeno should have Mmarion Cotillard endorsing their products. She has incredible skin. Winona Ryder, too.
So why didn’t she just order a salad? It’s not like Big Macs are the only thing on the menu.
^^ this^^
The premium salads are good and she had a choice of grilled or crispy chicken.
You are correct about the effect of meat on a system that is used to a vegan diet, it’s at least uncomfortable. As for Jen, every interview I read of her convinces me that she really is just a boring person.
My stomach can’t handle Mc Donald’s either but by no means do I eat a “pure” diet. Why didn’t she just order a parfait or a salad? It’s not like Mc Donalds ONLY serves Big Macs. Give me a break! Get a chicken sandwich for goodness sakes. She is so full of crap!
Could she BE any more condescending!? “I stress to my friends they must do as I do…”
I don’t believe she went on a road trip with Justin and I don’t believe she ate a Big Mac and I really can’t believe that she thought this lame ass diss would make her opinions on beauty sound authoritative.
Ha. Nice reference to Friends 🙂
Those pants on Justin make his legs look about three inches long. It’s an unfortunate look.
Jenn would probably tell the world she doesn’t poo if it would get her in a magazine.
ha! I think she implies it sometimes, (or at least that her sh*t don’t stink)
Yep. Definitely get a thinly veiled ‘I’m better than you’ vibe from her as well.
Please. If all there was around was Mcds, that doesn’t mean she HAD to order a Big Mac. They make salads too. I don’t have anything against her, but that seems like a story she made up to look like she is sooo healthy!
My thought too, breaking news you can order a salad, a bottle of water and even fruits at Mac Donald, not just there actually, nowadays lots of fast food chains do the same.
I’m thinking the same.
The Big Mac hasn’t been in the forefront of McDonald’s advertisement; usually, it’s the McCafe, the dollar menu, or whatever new wraps, burgers or breakfast sandwich they’re trying out. Maybe she doesn’t watch TV or has a DVR that omits commercials, but there are pics of the food options, along with calorie count, on the menu boards both inside the restaurant and at the drive-thru, at least that’s how it is where I am.
I think she’s putting it on and frankly, at this point, I would be shocked if people still buy into her nutrition and beauty regimes.
Unless the wine she guzzles is organic, that whole “purified system” thing is a crock. And I don’t believe for a second those “answers” were not 100% scripted. She isn’t that articulate or that precise.
Mcdonalds food makes me feel sick too. I hadn’t had it in about 6 years and ate some nuggets as a pregnancy craving. I felt horrible
She has a smokers lip which was really obvious in the bounty hunter. She has several creases in her top lip which shows when she does her “I’m confused” and her “I’m annoyed” expression.
I totally forgot she was in on that Living Proof haircare line! I just bougt a bottle of the styling creme because I had a sample from Sephora & it does WONDERS for my frizzy hair. $20 for 2oz but worth every penny.
…and now I want a Big Mac 🙁
So, a Big Mac is like gasoline to her system, BUT tobacco and alcohol are not? WHY is this chick still a ‘thing?’ She is so phoney. And breats cancer? Her? Oh, I get it. Still trying to stay close (and seem thoughtful and deep) to Brad and thinking this ticks AJ off.
I grew up in a country with no McDonalds and didn’t try it til I was 32. I will eat almost anything, and I couldn’t have more than a few bites. It’s nasty.
She is such a fake. I bet if she met her real self she would not know how to act! That is how far gone she is in her pr make believe world.
I agree with others she is the worse representation for hair and especially skin. Her Aveeno ads (tv commercials) are so softened that you barely can look at them because the lighting is so yellow. There are a number of real celebrities that they could have chosen. However, Aniston has basically bought all of her endorsements because all her deals she has to buy stock in these companies for the promise of return. I believe the amount she is paid is based on future sales after her initial investment. Nothing wrong with it, I’m just stating that no company is begging Aniston to promote their brand. Her pr folks have to darn near beg and offer them money for them to say yes to her. It’s almost like her movie career.
“Sad little perfume”? Why u gotta belittle her? It’s a big scary world and she’s managed to do very well for herself. She seems to have fun and not take life to seriously. Good for her! Where is the sisterhood?
I anticipate replies that she doesn’t deserve what she has so I’ll say in advance: screw that. Many with more opportunities than her have done nothing with them and many with less than her have done more.
JA: I can’t believe you talked me into this road trip!
JT: You wanted to see zee mini mall where zee DASH shop is, and zee house where zey sell babies.
JA: Well the flask is empty already and we’re out of brownies. Stop somewhere, I am starving! Hurry!
JT: Oui, here’s Mickey D’s. I get you a burger.
JA: Oh my god — this is like pouring gasoline into my purified system! I can feel my namaste being soiled! Oh my god! I’ll try to kill the taste of Dodge Caravan with this cigarette!! Help! No – I need more — fish the Jolly Rancher out of the bottom of the flask and give it to me! Why do you make me do things like this, like New York, and Rome? I feel horrible! This would never happen in Cabo! God I need some sun! This is worse than when I drank a Dasani water at the airport! I am not some Hollywood transplant! our California systems are naturally different at birth, I told you that! That’s why we have to stay here! How did a McD’s even get put in my state near a road I might be on? Where is a salad stand where normal stars can eat? Where are we?! I can’t do this! My skin! My hair! Am i bloating?
JT: I am sorry, my babe, my street sensibilities, zey overshot my reason. Forgive me! I saw one in Paris once, and I thought….we will be home soon —
JA: My god, I need to save my body! Help me! Hold my hair, but not too hard, don’t crease it! Okay — now I will want a grass-fed gluten-free taco and some shots of 4Copas! it is my only hope!
JT: Yes, my babe, as you wish!
JA: NEVER do this to me again! I am not some action star! Rom coms eat organic only, god, no wonder all you can get is a gig on HBO!
bwahaha, “Help me! Hold my hair, but not too hard”!
was hoping you’d show up 🙂
I wasn’t going to comment on this thread, but your comments are too awesome to pass up, love it 😆
mcAwesome
I get it, but I wish she’d have chosen a less Gooptastic way of saying it.
Also, I usually don’t care about celebrity hair and have even been known to defend Kristen Stewart’s, but since Aniston is making money by drawing attention to her hair: I am so sick of Aniston’s hair I could plotz. She would look so good with dark hair, especially with her light eyes. And stop with the flat-iron already.
This interview was so boring and bland I thought her publicist wrote it, but then the Big Mac thing is so weird and condescending that I don’t think they’d want that out there.
Well, she’s boring and bland so why would you expect the interview to be any better?
ok – I’m 53 and can pass for 43…I tan in the summer – her close up – YIKES!! – my skin looks a heck of alot better than hers and she’s got the cash to have fabulous skin! I’ve been using Oil of Olay products for decades – you can take their results to the bank!
I eat clean most of the time and let me tell you when I eat something that’s not… whooooo boy. Your body really does know the difference.
I stopped eating red meat for a year. My Doctor told me to not do that because I am anemic.
She could have ordered a salad. The salads are not bat. OR a chicken sandwich. Or yogurt or apple slices. MD does have some better choices. I guess she ordered the Big Mac to impress Justin. The wording makes her sound pretentious. Even if it was not. GOOPY in fact. That will never be a compliment.
If you don’t eat red meat for a while, any red meat is going to make you feel sick. Grass-fed Kobe steak or a can of Chef Boyardee raviolis.
She obviously takes very good care of herself otherwise she wouldn’t look as good as she does. I’d like to see what some of you look like. You talk about your fat thighs and weight problems and yet here you are harping on JA who looks fabulous. Depending on lighting anyone can look awful so give the chick a break.
I’m 36 years old and I’ve had to show my driver’s license to people to prove I’m not in my early 20s. I’m not a health nut by any means, but I don’t smoke or tan. My mother is in her 50s and looks far healthier than Aniston, with much better skin and hair. Not that I think Aniston looks bad, but I really don’t get her as a choice to front skin care products, and the “do as I do” bs makes her insufferable.
Lol I understand about fanistons but seriously I don’t think chain cigarette smoking, pot smoking and alcoholism equals taking good care of oneself. I know you want her to look fabulous but the fact of the matter is she looks absolutely horrific for her age and truly old haggard, wrinkly rough and out of shape.
LOL…And all the Tequila she drinks…thats not putting poison into a “purified” system. Shes so full of $##t. And a nasty piece of work. Go visit your mother you emotionally stunted neurotic head case closet alcoholic.
The weird thing for me is I can’t tell until now whether she is good looking or not.
with all her money, her skin looks older than her actual age
i wouldnt buy any skin care poduct she endorses
I couldn’t agree more with her on this. I never eat that garbage either, one day I had no choice and my system absolutely rejected it.
Why all the hate on here for this woman? What has she really done that makes her so vile to people?
They keep comparing her to that woman who fell in love with her ex husband while they were still married on that movie they did. Aniston isn’t all edgy and cerebral and working with the UN so they call her boring.
I think she’s great. I think one Angelina is enough. Thank. You. Very. Much.
I find this whole JA vs. AJ thing hilarious. It’s like you people cannot fathom that not everyone who dislikes Jennifer likes Angelina. Lots of people dislike Jennifer because she stinks as an actress and seems like a shallow idiot.
And let’s please put to bed the whole “homewrecker” thing. They both got together with very taken men; can’t call one better or worse than the other.
I think you need help.
CB – so happy you called her out on the product placement. Celebs come across so unbelievable when they promote products they are PAID to endorse.
She is almost Goop-like with her comments. That makes me dislike her immensely.
You guys took the words right outta my keyboard…I am really not buying anything Jen is selling these days, she is really not authentic and isn’t even trying…
How can a Big Mac react like gasoline in your system when cigarettes, tequila, coke, and pot are perfectly fine?
Shut Up!!!
Oh, and where she really lost me was the movie with Aaron Eckhart, that movie sucked so much ass, I am still bitter about it years later…a florist NW Pacific-er who is inexplicably tan and has $500 highlights who wins the broken boy in the end based solely on this and cute headgear? Ugh.
Done with J. Anniston. And Aveeno. But not Big Macs. And I haven’t had one in as many years as she claims :0)
I’m pretty sure she must be the subject of that recent cdan blind item about an actress who is endorsing a product that made her break out into a terrible rash…
That hydration stuff is nonsense. Everyone outside Hollywood knows drinking excessive quantities of water does zero for your skin. You have to be pretty dehydrated for it to show.
Shhhh… it’s a secret/not so secret plug for Smartwater.
Why does Jennifer Aniston always give interviews with beauty tips like readers are buying ‘Teen or ‘Seventeen’ magazines? Does she not have anything to say beyond talking about her “beauty” (reminding us, yes she is beautiful and don’t you forget it!) or self-help book babble?
After reading this article I really feel sorry for Jennifer Aniston, famous and rich I cannot say beautiful because I am sure the people who knew JA back then, would not recognize her facial features today. So happy for Brad Pitt he got away from this conceited,pretentious and manipulative person. JA forgot her many photo-ops with Brad Pitt where they have stated that they just had food from McDonald’s and how they stuff on junk food.

If she really did have a Big Mac, I wonder if it was too much fat at once? My database says
Big Mac cheeseburger
563 calories
44 g carbs
33 g fat (including 8.7 g saturated fat)
1007 mg sodium
26 g protein
3.5 g fiber
Unless it’s the red meat problem people have mentioned. It might also be higher calories than she usually gets in a single meal or a lot less fiber. I get at least 1/3 of my calories from fat (mostly plant sources, though) and 33 grams would represent more than half of a typical daily intake for me (I track sometimes). Maybe a huge avocado would have that much, although it also would have a lot more fiber. My percentage fat calories are higher on days I eat a small avocado, but I imagine avocado fat is kinder, gentler fat than Big Mac fat.
She really needs to get a decent acting job. She’s coasting now and living off endorsements. She is a good actress, just see The Good Girl. She’s just become incredibly lazy.
I had to check IMDB.. so that movie was what? 12-13 years ago. And that is the ULTIMATE performance that people talk about from her. If she was a singer she would be considered a one hit wonder.
