Jennifer Aniston was right about NYC ‘fishbowl,’ she’s pap’d every day

Here are some new photos of Jennifer Aniston (sans wiglet and avec wiglet) in New York City yesterday, either going to or coming from the set of Squirrels to the Nuts. I know I’ve spent some time shading Aniston for pulling that “I love NYC!” bait-and-switch on Justin Theroux, but I’m actually starting to see her point. Since she’s started work on this film, she’s been pap’d on a daily basis – the paparazzi must wait by her trailer, I guess – and it’s not her fault. So, she’s sort of right about being able to be more “private” in LA as opposed to NYC. Of course, there are plenty of celebrities who live and work in NYC without getting pap’d on a regular basis. But do any of them have super-sensitive nips? HM?!

Maybe that’s why the most recent reports have Justin finally relenting about where they should get married. If you remember, they postponed their wedding because Justin was still having issues with everything being all about Jennifer and what she wanted, and she wants to live full-time in California and she wants a California wedding. Well, sources claim Justin finally gave in and now they’ll pretty much live in LA (she bought and renovated an enormous mansion in Bel Air) and Justin is allegedly cool with a California wedding too. A source said:

“Jen has always made it clear LA was her first choice,” a source says. “And Justin has compromised and agreed to marry in California. Justin’s reservations with LA are well known and he wanted to marry on the East Coast where his friends and much of his family is based, where he proposed to Jen and where he feels most comfortable.”

[From Hollywood Life]

The source goes on to say that the current plan is to get have the wedding ceremony somewhere in LA and then do the reception at the renovated Bel Air mansion. I believe the renovation is still happening, although it’s probably in the final stages at this point. So maybe a fall or winter wedding in California? Why not.

    Jen should not worry. The pap attention will cease to exist in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . And then where will that leave her?

    • John Wayne Lives says:

      As a 40+ woman (or any woman) she needs to have some self respect and start wearing a bra.. bleh

      • Annie says:

        She probably is, only it’s likely expensive French silk and lace, rather than a padded Fruit of the Loom.

      • Mia says:

        What? They’re not drooping, so if she doesn’t need to wear a bra, why should she?

      • GiGi says:

        I’m so jelly of her braless look – if I didn’t need one I’d never ever ever wear one, lol! It would be obscene.

      • paige says:

        MAJOR SHOE LUST on those black heels! anyone know who’s they are???

      • Iggie says:

        Mia, its about modesty and dressing respectably. If you know you have a headlight issue, you wear a bra. Its as simple as that. It shouldn’t need to be explained.

      • Mia says:

        @Iggie- Oh please, she looks pretty modest and respectable to me. If she wanted to be completely topless in New York, she could, because it’s been legal here for over 20 years. If male nipples aren’t being oversexualized then female nipples shouldn’t be either. She shouldn’t HAVE to wear a bra if she doesn’t want to and she certainly doesn’t need to because her breasts aren’t drooping. She’s probably not wearing one because it’s effing hot outside, and her comfort should trump puritanical people having a problem with her nipples.

    • springingforward says:

      Let’s think about this for a minute:

      She’s “pap’d every day” because she is making a movie and there is an active movie set on the street.

      Sheeeesh.

      ETA: Sorry, I didn’t read down post and see that this was already pointed out. Multiple times 😉

  2. Barrett says:

    She just got papped via helicopter at Jimmy Kimmel’s wedding in California. What huge difference is NYC? Please!

    • Esmom says:

      I think there is a difference. I noticed when she was out in NYC there were literally swarms of people stopped in their tracks taking photos with their phones. The Kimmel thing aside — it was a celeb wedding after all — LA seems a little more low key.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        I think the ‘Pap’ attention in New York has more to do with the Jen/Heidi/Justin scandal than it does about Jen herself. Exactly how often was she photographed in New York prior to the JeTheroux union?

        I personally think the Paps are hoping Jen and/or Jen and Justin will run into Heidi.

      • Teddy says:

        Who is Heidi? Whatever angle that is, I doubt it sells copy. Aniston is what sells.

      • Mia says:

        I notice that she got papped while she was first here, but I also think it had to do with the love triangle. There are plenty of celebs who live here full time aren’t constantly papped, and NYC folks always make a point of ignoring celebs we come across too. I think this round of crazy papping has to do with the fact that she’s on a movie set, where she is definitely going to be everyday, and paps easily know how to find her.

      • Iggie says:

        Teddy Heidi is the woman Justin was living with when he cheated on her with Aniston.

    • Stef Leppard says:

      Being pap’d on a movie set in NYC is miles away from just walking down the street and being photographed. When I lived there I never saw swarms of people around a celebrity who was just minding their own business. I did see swarms of people watching movies being filmed though.

      • UmamiMommy says:

        Agreed. I live in New York City and have almost all my life. There are tons of local celebs who just go about their business. It’s considered bad form among New Yorkers to gawk at the famous. Granted, it helps if the celebrity in question generally lives a quiet life and isn’t in the tabloids every week…

      • Annie says:

        Perhaps it’s not New Yorkers who are doing the photo taking. Skarsgard also seems to get papped a whole lt when he’s in NYC. Maybe the photo price tag is worth it for some celebs?

      • Emily C. says:

        This.

        They’re taking pictures of her while she’s on a movie set. I don’t think that’s comparable in any way to taking pictures of someone in their private life.

      • Barhey says:

        My boyfriend lives in NYC and just saw Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield at the Met. Not a single picture was taken of them that he noticed, and this is in a tourist heavy area. I really think LA is way more Pap heavy.

      • Mia says:

        I completely agree. I’ve seen celebs in NYC and refuse to make a spectacle out of myself because they are there. A lot of other New Yorkers conduct themselves the same way. If she was living here on a daily basis instead of trapped on a film set everyday where the paps know exactly where to find her, the pap issue wouldn’t be such a problem.

  3. abbie246 says:

    I disagree that NY is a fishbowl. When celebrities are filming they are usually photographed a lot more often because they can’t hide from the set. Besides in all of the photos I’ve seen, even when she was living in NY, there’s just a few paps and they keep their distance. She acted like there were dozens following her around, asking questions, and blocking her way.

    • Lulu86 says:

      Exactly, she is on a film set, where paps know exactly where she will be and at what time. Those nips remind of an episode in Sex and the City when Samantha bought fake ones. That never happens to me when it is hot, whats going on there?

      • anneesezz says:

        Some people have nips that stand at attention for no reason, like me. Having people say “is it cold in here?” gets really old. I would always wear slightly padded bras even though I was a DD cup to avoid the comments. I’ve since had a double mastectomy and have fake boobs and fake nipples so I still have the same problem. I had a friend who moved from Europe and never wore a bra until she realized people were offended by her nipples. What’s the big deal?

      • doofus says:

        the nipple issue was covered ad nauseum last week in a post dedicated to just that subject.

        bottom line: some people have sensitive nips that will get erect at the slightest breeze or fabric friction.

        can we finally let this one go? 🙂

      • Lucinda says:

        I didn’t even understand why this was a conversation. I assumed everyone had this problem and have never understood why some people could go without bras. Mine have always popped out, sometimes even through the padded bra I ALWAYS wear. Now I’m totally jealous of those who don’t have this issue…lol

      • epiphany says:

        Please – they make bras with modesty inserts for women with nipples that won’t quit. You don’t think this media obsessed women knows her on-call nipples are a regular topic of discussion? She’s been doing this since the first season of ‘Friends’. She can feign annoyance all she wants about the pap attention – truth is, she loves it.
        As far as the wedding goes, I’m not convinced there will be one, East or West coast.

    • emmie_a says:

      Yes! Of course she is going to be pap’d while working on a movie. They aren’t giving her special treatment because she is Jennifer Aniston. And even if she lived up to her promise and moved to NY, she might get pap’d more often at first just because she was new on the scene but soon the paparazzi would tire of her boring life and move on.

      And I thought her nips were like that bc she has implants??

      And I wonder if she has a ‘wardrobe control’ clause in her contract? Because she wears her ‘Jennifer Ansiton’ wardrobe in almost every movie she has done. It’s boring and I wish she would branch out and become the character, wardrobe and all.

  4. blue marie says:

    you know, if you don’t call them then they probably wouldn’t bother you as much..

    I mean, who is she making this film with? they manage not to get pap’d..

  5. RHONYC says:

    Of course, there are plenty of celebrities who live and work in NYC without getting pap’d on a regular basis.

    ******************************************

    and yet…Angie Jo’s ass can slip into the UN (whose campus I work on) without my knowledge & near a whisper!

    plus, when’s the last time we’ve seen Katie & Suri btw???

    EXACTLY. LIKE GTFOH.

    she should knock it off already, take her finger off the pap speed dial & STFD. 🙁

  6. lisa2 says:

    She has a film coming out soon.

    Besides those trailers are right on the street. So yeah she is getting papped. She doesn’t seem upset. And none of them are right on her. The Bodyguards seem to be doing their job.. (seriously when has she ever been mobbed by anyone)

  7. Jo says:

    Jen will always be a pap magnet unlike say Deniro, who can live in NYC undisturbed. Her pics sell! In LA she can atleast half of a normal life. Sure she will still be snapped but she can atleast go about town most days.

    • springingforward says:

      She will always be a pap magnet only because she or her agent calls them.
      They don’t apparently believe in the adage, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

  8. Joanna says:

    she has such great body. trim with perky boobies. like the short wig on her.

    • doofus says:

      I do envy her bod…and I know she works very hard on it.

      but there are plenty of folks who think she’s “stumpy” and “doughy” and other things that she’s really not. I realize that everybody’s got their own idea of what a “good” physique is…I mean, I would much rather have a body like Aniston than say, Giselle Bundchen, but I can fully admit that Gis has got a good physique, too. Coco is another example…I wouldn’t want her figure but she does have a BANGIN’ body.

    • Opd says:

      Lots of other celebs also have great bodies, yet Jen’s is shoved in our faces constantly about how great it is!

      When you can go to any beach and see better bodies on women her age & older & on women who have had children.

      Her arms are big and her legs are nothing special without her wedges.

      People rave about her body because there is nothing else about her to rave about.

      Average face, average acting and bland personality, only talking about yoga and Mexico.

      • Sullivan says:

        I would probably think she has a good body if her p.r. didn’t ram it down our throats. In response to the ham-handed praise I end up thinking it’s not THAT great. Especially considering the amount of money & time she puts into it. As for the wig, it makes her look like a pin-head. Seriously, her head is disproportionatly small.

    • Becky1 says:

      I think she has a great body. Yes, it’s been overly talked about and overly praised but I don’t understand why anyone thinks she looks “stumpy.” I have boob envy-her breasts are the perfect size IMO. I would love to have those boobs-overly sensitive nips included.

      Most of her movies are terrible and she’s a mediocre actress but I have to give her props on the body.

  9. DanaG says:

    She is working on a movie of course she will be papped. She get’s papped heaps in LA too or she did when she was married to Brad. Stop calling them and they won’t bother her. Somehow they always seem to find her.

  10. VioletCrumble says:

    Well, I still reckon she’s had her face done.

  11. Lulu86 says:

    She looks terrible with short hair. it makes her face look too long kind of like when SJP does a short hair cut doesn’t do her any favours.

    • Barhey says:

      I want to give her a chance with the short hair, but I’m so distracted by how bloated with fillers she is I can’t tell if its a good look or not.

  12. neelyo says:

    I love how showing her range as an actress usually means changing her hairstyle.

  13. Kate says:

    She has connections in LA, which gives her a measure of control, just as NYC celebs have connections in NYC.

    I know a lot of people don’t think she’s relevant anymore, but pictures of her make the paps a huge amount of money. Even the most boring pictures of her doing everyday stuff (walking down the street, drinking coffee, getting out of a car) will sell for a good price, and they’ll do so every single day. You can’t say that about many celebrities. She’s figured out how to live with that in LA, she’d need a new strategy in NY.

  14. Talie says:

    I’m surprised she’s such a big attraction to people, genuinely.

  15. Belle Epoch says:

    New Yorkers don’t give a sh*t about celebrities. They leave them alone. Paparazzi maybe not so much – but it’s a big city.

    She would wither up and die if she didn’t constantly have her picture taken. That’s what she lives for!

    • Nicolette says:

      This. If there is any city that celebs can blend in and be unnoticed it’s here in NYC. People are in too much of a rush, and too caught up in their own stuff to be looking at anyone around them. The paps don’t act here like they do in L.A. I’ve never seen a swarm of them running down the street or chasing a car. It’s too crowded on NYC streets to pull that crap here!

  16. MissMoody says:

    At first I thought Jen finally found a cute, casual outfit to wear and then I realized it’s for the movie. The hair is just….no.

  17. Dilo says:

    Looks like Sarah Jessica Parker in that wig.

  18. lisa says:

    she only likes to be papped in cabo in a bikini not in this heinous cheap wig

  19. jessica says:

    her nipples do not seem natural. she’s had work done to her breasts…augmentation of some extent that have left her nipples in a permanent state of alertness. it’s so distracting. really nothing a padded bra couldn’t take care of under those expensive super thin cotton t-shirts and tank tops she wears. she has a movie coming out and I guarantee you she has no problem with those paps being around. unfortunately, the movie will still tank. how does she keep getting offers??!

    • springingforward says:

      Her former roommate (before Friends show) commented on how Jennifer iced her nipples before going out.

  20. Verea says:

    She does not have an attractive face. It is fat and a very weird shape, troll like.

    She normally hides behind her long blond extentions.

    And she is being papped because she is on set where paps will know exactly where she is!

    She could avoid the paps in her everyday life in NYC when not on set.

  21. janie says:

    I just want this woman to go away.. She couldn’t act her way out of a papersack! She doesn’t want to be happy, or she would have married a long time ago. She loves playing the poor jilted wife. That’s all she has & no one cares anymore! That was eons ago! Go away!

  22. UsedToBeLulu says:

    That wig is much better than the previous one.

    I want her bod. *sigh*

  23. Anguishedcorn says:

    God. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but she looks so cute in that short brown hair. It’s a huge improvement.

  24. Mia says:

    The fishbowl effect would pass if she remained in town long enough to not be a new person. Tons of celebs live and visit nyc on a regular basis and are rarely papped. If they avoid touristy sections they can also mostly avoid people coming up to them.

  25. Jag says:

    I understand that she has a good breast surgeon, but her not wearing a bra so that her nips will be the focus of attention is just cheap. Mine will do that, too, if I let them but I wear padded bras to prevent it from happening. She reminds me so much of Jlo who had a professional nip tweaker for her video.

  26. toto says:

    She has weird ears, i do have hard nipples like her but that made me aware of how to dress and what kind of bra i should have.I’am staring to believe that she does it for attention. all pictures on TV or candid same nipples drama…not nice and cheap look honestly.

  27. gogoGorilla says:

    She’s only being papped because she is on a movie set. The crowd is watching the movie be filmed. I’m sure they’d be watching no matter who the celeb was.

    Something nice: she looks fab in that black dress. I think the short hair is kind of cute (or would be, if the wig wasn’t so cheap). I think I like it better than her long, straight, California-girl, I’ve-worn-it-like-this since-the-90s “real” hair.

  28. Jess says:

    I cannot believe that people think of this woman as a “style icon” or trendsetter. She wears the WORST clothes when left to her own devices. That purple top/jeans shorts/huge belt is so Old Navy, circa 1984 (did Old Navy exist back then??). And I detest the fedora affectation. When will people lose interest in this homely, bland, oh-so-average woman????

  29. JillyRo says:

    How do we not know it’s a hired/official photog taking her pics daily?? I wouldn’t past her and Huvane to hire one. Were are the pics of Owen and others in this movie?? I have yet to see any, so I find that a little telling. Me thinks she needs the attention, it’s not like her star is getting brighter, in fact, by other comment boards, very few comments now, her popularity is fading (finally!! always overrated!!).

  30. Sher says:

    JA posts get this celeb site some action, where would you be without her?

  31. Anon says:

    The only movie Jen didn’t seem to get papped at was ‘Wanderlust’. Of course, she and Justin probably had their reasons for not… Jen didn’t mind Uncle Terry putting her and Justin’s pics out there in NYC.

  32. Mia says:

    I like both of these outfits. That black dress fits her beautifully and I love the shoes. I wonder if they’re Jimmy Choo’s? And her casual outfit looks really cute and comfortable as well. I love low cut tees like that. It’s an easy way to look sexy, cute, and be comfortable at the same time. That wig is still 20 kinds of ugly though.

  33. Jayna says:

    I have to say I am really looking forward to her movie coming out with Jason Sudakis, We’re the Millers. It looks funny. But they just showed her in an interview on ET or one of those shows tonight, and her face was freakin’ orange. I am not kidding. It made her look older. She would have looked really cute in the interview except that horrible dark orange face. I don’t know when the interview was taped.

  34. Jayna says:

    That wig is awful.

  35. Mew says:

    How about they move to somewhere in the middle of the states and just disappear? That’d be pretty awesome.

    • Dlo says:

      That is simply brilliant! If only!!!! I would literally kiss the ground in gratitude 😉
