Jennifer Aniston will never stop getting asked about relationships. Apparently she’s the go-to celeb for all personal problems not aimed at Dr. Phil. You wouldn’t even know she’s in films or has anything else going on in her life – aside from dating – from the way most reporters focus on her relationship revelations. And she’s got a few realistic ones – like admitting she doesn’t think it’s fair to place forever expectations on love. And she seems damn happy with what she’s got right now.
Newly 40, Jennifer Aniston is feeling very fortunate these days. In fact, she tells the U.K.’s Mail on Sunday’s You magazine that this is “the best moment of my life. I’ve never felt better physically or professionally. I am a very lucky woman.”
Part of the reason may be that she’s living in the now and not expecting perfection in anything – including relationships. “I don’t have one and I don’t think it exists,” says Aniston of a perfect pairing.
“Whoever said that every relationship has to last forever? That’s hoping for too much,” adds Aniston, who has been dating John Mayer for a year. “I think every relationship is a world unto itself.”
Still, Aniston confessed to the paper that she’s a romantic. “It’s a shame that people stop being romantic out of laziness,” she says. “And communication is vital. People often expect their partner to read their minds and when that doesn’t happen, they get upset, then the other person gets even more upset, and it is all because they didn’t talk it over at the beginning.”

I’m going to start more articles by listing the person’s age, with the vague hint that it’s something they should be ashamed of. How dare you have the audacity to turn 40 Jennifer Aniston! I know that’s not what People actually said, but considering how often stories mention it, you’d think it were some sort of insult about her.
Jennifer’s relationship thoughts don’t sound like bullshit to me – in fact it perfectly explains her dating pattern. She’s not expecting every pairing will go on forever – marriage very possibly isn’t her ultimate goal. The horror! To think a woman could possibly focus on anything else in her life… and be 40… what an utter tragedy. (It’s a shame I have to say it for those who tend to miss such things; but please note the heavy tone of sarcasm).
Jennifer strikes me as someone who will probably go from pair-bonded relationship to pair-bonded relationship. Everyone’s got their own way of doing things, and hers is as acceptable as any. I’m never going to be a John Mayer fan, but it isn’t because he won’t marry Jennifer Aniston. And from her account, it doesn’t sound like that’s what she’s looking for.
Here’s Jennifer Aniston waving to photographers as she prepares to depart Heathrow airport on March 3rd. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.
She is full of hog wash. She is always trying to paint herself as this self righteous, anything goes woman. Not!!!! People are beginning to see through her phoniness. I think she and her PR guy Huvane played everybody with the John Mayer romance. He was the perfect date, young, ok looking and willing to be payed.
Zzzzzzzzzzz. Seriously, this woman and her “life” is getting so ridiculously boring. What a fabricated life, courtesy of her PR guy and team.
I’m waiting for the “Jennifer Aniston says she’s retiring” headline.
Please, like I need Jennifer Aniston to tell me how to deal with relationships. Oh, and how many times she’ll tell us how happy she is and in a “best moment of her life”? Tiring if not downright annoying.
Hokay, then. zzzz…
At this point in her life, she is taking whatever she can get. That should have been the headline.
wait,but it is hogwash;she says you have dreams when you are younger,but life doesnt always go the way you wanted…and she has said in the past that she has already made the mistake of thinking a relationship can live forever/happy ending [referring to her marriage to BP]…and then she contradicts herself by saying it’s not what she’s ever wanted,or that she doesn’t have perfection/last forever expectations. BTW,interesting how she seems to equate a relationship for life with perfection. I don’t consider lifetime committment to be a spoke on the perfection wheel;it’s apples and oranges.
What I’d like to know more about is this PR thing that has been mentioned more than once re: she and Mayer. Would explain alot-and I’d like to know more about how this works ‘in the industry’ in general. Very fascinating to see how image manipulation works on the public.
Haters gon hate…This woman can’t say anything without the Hate Patrol coming in. She isn’t going anywhere people. She’s an actress with a movie to promote. She’ll disappear when she doesn’t have a project to promote and then you guys can go back to your happy, Jennifer-Aniston-less lives.
What else are entertainment reporters going to ask? what are her thoughts on stem cell research? By the way folks you are far more entertaining then the actual people these posts are written about..all this craziness and no charges attached.
Good for Jen. I dont understand why the haters bother to read these articles and comment on them … and then call her a loser. i’m willing to bet my entire years salary that her life is better than yours.
She is coming off as way too desperate and I wish she would put on a grown person shirt. Nothing say desperate low class hag better than a women with her belly hanging out at the age of 40 like 14 year old kid. I think may be her brain stop growing at 14. She is going to look back on these days and want to kick her self when she turn 60.
Good thing she’s not looking for perfection in love, because she sure as hell won’t find it with John Mayer.
Either way, she looks great.
Now we know why she needs to spend $50,000 on her hair.
And, I’ll start caring about Penus Nose’s life when she steals Jesus Luz from Madonna and starts an all-out cougar war. THAT would really be something! John Gayer? Not much of a conquest.
I agree Lena, I couldn’t even read the article because I was so distracted by the fact that she’s STILL wearing the “baby doll” T-shirt. It’s not even just an age thing, it’s like, a dignity thing.
You were distracted by about 1 inch of flesh? You can see her shirt peeking out from under the bottom of the jacket. Her belly button isn’t showing, so it isn’t a slutty shirt. Jeez. You people will attack her for anything.
Neither is her current boyfriend, apparently.
Mayer takes what he can get. Imagine being next after jessica simpson. Yuck!
She really doesn’t look that good w/out her $50,000 hair guy, and make-up artist.
Taking relationship advice from her is like asking Britney, “What’s a good pair of panties to wear”
And Anastasia Beaverhausen says she doesn’t care and is bored assless by Jennifer Aniston.
Once again Jennifer Aniston proves her charisma; the haters are impelled to read everything with her name on it, and to post (vent) their pent up rage over whatever sucks in their personal lives, She commands attention from all; the achievers or the loonies it’s all good i suppose as it keeps her in front of the press reports. AND, she does this souly on her own, not as part of a fractured rainbow family…1:8….who’s got the power?….lol
Charisma? Where? I’m not saying that she lacks charisma (because she obviously doesn’t) but these quotes are trite at best.
All actors are trite with People Magazine. It’s not that big of a surprise.
hmmmm, love being referred to as “you people”.
A baby doll T on anyone is a bad fashion choice IMO and I find it distracting because it goes with a certain self image as any fashion choice does. No attack, just an observation.
patty anne, please read your comment to yourself, hon.
She is a very lucky woman. So she doesn’t have the perfect mate like Brangelina. She’s the perfect 40-year-old unmarried woman — rich and beautiful. So she’s not the greatest actress. Hollywood has a place for her and many others. Keep making that money, traveling and enjoying your life Ms. Aniston. And keep smiling.
her body is amazing.
Good, because she needs to be looking for a good mustache bleach.
Well she found it!
Jen – read “The Secret” babe.
Uh patty ann, you know it IS possible that people find her BORING. I’ve long thought (WAAAAY longer than the whole triangle drama) that she is one of the most boring “celebrities” out there and a below-average actress to boot.
She lucked out and got a great role on what became a hit comedy. She raked it in. She had hard nipples and thin shirts. People loved it. As it turns out, Rachel is about the only character she can play. She wasn’t acting, that was HER. That’s why it came so easy to her. Ever since then, she’s been the same blah person in every blah movie she’s done. Even in Good Girl, her BEST film, her acting involved speaking a few words at a time in a horrible southern drawl and staring off into space sadly. Most people could do that. She’s been riding on the Friends role for years and years. And now the Brad drama, for four years now.
She’s about as interesting as a soggy paper bag. And once the tabs get sick of pounding the Brad angle to death, she’ll fade away, because that’s all she’s got. If I see that a movie has her in it, I can guarantee you I won’t see it. I don’t have money to just waste.
I hope she didn’t blow through the Friends millions. But yeah, I REALLY do find her totally boring. Speaking of, I’ve spent way too many keystrokes on her in this post to begin with.
Jennifer is so boring, uninteresting, nothing good to say…and yet everytime she opens her mouth, the people come pouring in with their criticisms about her. If she’s so boring, why do you keep paying attention to her? Don’t tell me because Jennifer won’t shut up and you’re forced to read/hear what she has to say. Boring is as boring does. If this is what we’ve been reduced to–reading gossip about a boring person and then bashing her–man, we must be so boring ourselves to not find anything else to do.
Yeah, because Jen won’t get our face with her “relationship” talk, “I’m so over Brad” talk, I love John Mayer, blah, blah, blah. Never have I heard one star with so little talent talk so much about nothing important at all. Famewhore, famewhore, go away . . . take the rest of the triangle with you.
I doubt anyone dating Ms. PENUS NOSE is looking for “perfection in love” either. Most likely, they are looking to pass their time until Megan Fox goes back on the market.
Excuse me, nashnash, the problem is this woman and her PR team seem to believe that she is the most AMAZING person alive. Lately, ever few days or she is out there saying something stupid, showing up at the Oscars for whatever reason, on and on. IT’s old. I don’t see Kate Winslett, Blanchett, Reese Witherspoon, Uma Thurman out there talking about every little pathetic detail of their lives when they don’t even have a movie to promote. She’s an obvious famewhore who is ALL promotion and NO talent. Go away JEN! AND, plz. take BRad and Angie with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zoe: If the shoe fits…”you people” refers to Jen Haters who attack her for anything and everything. Your words: “I couldn’t even read the article because I was so distracted by the fact that she’s STILL wearing the “baby doll” T-shirt. It’s not even just an age thing, it’s like, a dignity thing.”
I’d call that an attack, not an observation. By the way, a “baby doll” tee is one that stops just above the belly button and has cap sleeves. As she is wearing a jacket and you can see a sliver of her shirt poking from the bottom of the jacket, she isn’t wearing a “baby doll” tee.
“Perfection in love” and John Mayer are about as compatible in a sentence as Jennifer Aniston and talented, Oscar winning actress. NOT gonna happen.
I dont understand why all you people have to be insulting if you don’t like her movies, thats fair enough, don’t watch them. I for one love her movies. Along with Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore she is one of my favs. I hope they all continue making many more movies for me to enjoy. When it comes to thier personal lives I wish them happiness. Personally, I can’t stand bang, bang shoot them up movies, so I don’t watch them. I realise a lot of people like them so I would never suggest they stop making them even though I find many of the offensive.
I find it absurd that people can only find the ‘baby doll’ tee to complain about. Really?! If you passed her on the street as a stranger, and didn’t know who she was, that tee wouldn’t have an impact. *eyeroll* It has nothing to do with “age appropriate” either – it has everything to do with figure and style.
I love Jaybird’s take on these threads. I’m a pretty sarcastic person myself so the ‘heavy dose’ of it made me laugh out loud. 🙂
way to stir things up CB. bless your manipulative little hearts. LOL!
YouAllSuck:
“Good for Jen. I dont understand why the haters bother to read these articles and comment on them … and then call her a loser.”
Quoted for truth!
She’s promoting a movie ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, and so she was asked ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, and – shock horror! – she politely answered the question.
Oh, and if I had the body she has I’d walk the streets naked, let alone show off 1 measly inch of tan, taut belly. Jealous much girlies?!!
wow, who knew a comment about a t shirt could bring out such defensive animosity! LOL! Nope, it’s not about how much skin she’s showing and nope, it simply isn’t an attack.
Actually, I could go on for days about the things I find disturbing about the Aniston PR machine, but I chose what I thought was a relatively innocuous comment about her very measured fashion choices and what her choices say about her self image and what she’s trying to get people to think about her. She has a gorgeous body and seems like a nice enough person, I just think she’d be taken lots more seriously if she didn’t wear clothes whose AIM is to distract from her as a person and put the attention on her as a BODY. I question it in anybody, including myself. The way we choose to dress says a lot about our mindset. It’s not an evil thing to say, I’m not getting why this is called an “attack”, but calling her “Penus” (sic) nose” or “boring hag” is ok. *shrugs* whatever.
No Zoe, I agree with you about the Penus and hag comments, but I see those posters as purely ignorant idiots. One can’t rationalize with an idiot. The clothing thing though… that just seemed so random and dumb – it’s the only reason I spoke about it. I see the point you were trying to make but it sort of stood out.
Thanks for the consideration RAN, I really did mean it as a very small observation and not an attack. It was a bad example to make that point about too, I see that. If taken in a vaccuum, it DOES seem random and stupid. I’m having a delayed reaction to the nude photo shoot I guess… ‘)
Well, good for her. At least she’s not talking about Brad again.
Zoe: I was thinking along the same lines as RAN. Anyone who calls someone else a “Penus nose” (hilariously spelled wrong) just isn’t worth the time.
You getting weirded out by a whole inch of stomach is bizarre to me. I didn’t even notice she had any stomach showing. If you were looking that closely, you’d think you’d have noticed that her shirt is long enough to come out from the bottom of her jacket. I.e. it probably got stuck to the jacket (as many of my shirts are wont to do).
I just don’t think a inch of stomach (and zero belly button) are a PR move.
As another 40+ year who has run the gamut of failed relationships, childlessness and various other mid life crisises I can say with absolute certainty that she is full of shit and I don’t believe her PR bullshit for a second.
She looks awesome. I see a little bit of a tan, flat stomach but I don’t see any belly “hanging out”. I’m sick to death of the long t-shirt layered over the even longer t-shirt so her look is refreshing.
I know much more happy childfree 40 year olds than happy 40 year olds with toddlers or teenagers. Of course she is happy – she is pretty, successful and has everything anyone can ever wish for (well, perhaps she is not very intelligent, but I doubt she is particularly unintelligent). IMO people who hate on her are just frustrated about having spent their 20s and 30s in mundane tasks that they now regret.
