I'll Say Anything You Want To Hear: How Desperate Is Jennifer Aniston?

By Cindy Davis | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (69)

Dear Jen,

Are you really this desperate? I know it sucks being just another in a long line of Brad devotees and toss-offs, but hell, even Goopy moved on. Speaking of which, you two are starting to look alike and I’m not entirely sure it’s unintentional on your part. Hamming it up for a guest spot on “Glee,” are you? I hate to be the one to have to tell you, but if this is all you’ve got, it’s not working. Instead of making a witty, tongue in cheek advertisement, you’ve ended up with a metaphor for your life: Jennifer Aniston will do absolutely anything in an attempt to be relevant (but like the whole of her career, it’s a colossal failure). Your need for public acceptance drips off you like beads of sweat and I’m guessing even those cute puppies can smell the fear. Clearly the water you’re drinking ain’t that smart.

Now I do understand that in this day and age of Charlie Sheen, “Real Housewives” and people who become famous overnight, old school celebrities might feel a bit bewildered. You don’t know how to compete for attention, so you look to your advisers in the hopes they’ll send you in the right direction. But Jen, you’re not even getting that part right. Your stylist sucks, your colorist is blind and your agent must be a moron too, since he got you involved in this ridiculous ploy. Heck, from what I can tell you aren’t even helping Smartwater sales (Wiki: VitaminWater is Energy Brands’ most successful product) and here you are making a complete and utter ass of yourself. Meanwhile, for someone who claims to be upset over people focusing on your hair, you certainly spend a lot of time showcasing that disastrously blonde, insecurity cap you wear so sadly. I can’t think of another person in the public eye who spends as much time as you do, trying to convince the world you are happy with yourself. Give it up, we don’t believe you.

Do yourself a favor and get this thing off Youtube as fast as you can. It’s not funny. It’s not cute. It’s not going to sell any water and it’s not going to get you a spot on “Glee.” It may well be one of the stupidest commercials ever made.

In closing, I suggest you use the interwebs for good, find some old clips of “Friends” and take a long look at that adorable chick you used to be. Go back to her. Wash some of the bleach from your hair, put on a couple pounds, wear a splash of color once in a while. And instead of spending so much time worrying about what will make you popular, step back, deGoopify, find a way to get over losing Brad to that busty, skinny bitch and pop out a kid or two. (Some say that’s what we women are good for.) Acting just isn’t your thing.

Sincerely,

A chick who just drinks regular water

I can't help it, I love her! She's funny. She's FUNNY! Great comic timing, it's just the material that sucks. Can someone please get her a decent script?

"Jennifer Aniston will do absolutely anything in an attempt to be relevant (but like the whole of her career, it’s a colossal failure)."

Now I'm no Aniston fan, but can you really describe the career of a leading actor in the most iconic sit-com of the 1990s, still raking in bazillions in re-run royalties a "colossal failure"?

Isn't that sort of like calling Dusty Springfield a colossal musical failure because she hasn't done much recently?

Posted by: PaddyDog at March 8, 2011 3:41 PM

She is beginning to look a little dessicated. At her age, she needs to start walking that fine line between pleasantly slender and thin/hard. Someone needs to sit on her while three helpers simultaneously feed her a sandwich, dye her hair its previous reddish brown and denude her closet of any color that could remotely be called "nude." A couple "wake up and get a clue" slaps probably wouldn't come amiss, either.

Wow, that was little more ragey than I was expecting. It's just, as you say, Cindy, she used to be so cute, and it frustrates me to see her wasting herself like this. Grr.

Posted by: noodlestein at March 8, 2011 3:44 PM

Poor, pathetic, hag.

Go away already, Rachel.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 8, 2011 3:56 PM

Nothing against her personally, but I just hate the fact that they present her as this Big movie star. Just because you dated a movie star doesn't make YOU a movie star.

Posted by: junierizzle at March 8, 2011 4:01 PM

It is such a shame that the entire cast of Friends has failed completely to do anything other than play their characters from that show elsewhere. I suppose that is why the show was such a good fit for the actors in question, they weren't really ACTING, they were typecast. Aniston seems like a nice enough gal. She makes my skin crawl because she looks like a younger version of my ARCHENEMY, http://www.dramabutton.com/
but that is hardly her fault.
Being too blond, too thin, too 'fixed up', and too solicitous, all reek of desperation. I wish she could just allow herself a wrinkle, eat a damn sammich, and get on getting on.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at March 8, 2011 4:05 PM

She just plays herself in everything. She bores the ASS off me. Writing THIS is putting me to sleep. Bye.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at March 8, 2011 4:15 PM

All of these posts about celebrities we hate, especially those about women, most notably those featuring Aniston, remind me of the issue addressed in the 30 Rock episode with the sexy baby comedic writer. If Aniston is lonely and desperate and has people arrange dates for her and she wants attention in some pathetic way, please let's just let her do that instead of having these condescending pieces that offer her advice by telling her she's a pathetic loser. That'd be counter-productive if she actually did read this site. But if she doesn't, then what does it accomplish - making us feel better because we're not [at least publicly] as desperate as she is?

Posted by: birj at March 8, 2011 4:16 PM

I think you're reading a little bit much into this. I'm the not biggest fan of Aniston, but to say she's desperate for doing these commercials is just projecting what you feel about her. It's called an easy paycheck people. It'd be hard to find anyone in Hollywood who hasn't taken one.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Posted by: jk at March 8, 2011 4:19 PM

It's just a fucking commercial. Get a grip.

Posted by: jen at March 8, 2011 4:26 PM

I've seen her on billboards all over town and every time I just sigh and wish she'd stop trying so goddamn hard. She's become nothing but a sad joke and it's just exhausting.

Posted by: figgy at March 8, 2011 4:28 PM

I don't get it. Do people hate her because she's pretty or not pretty enough? Because she's not a GREATSTREEPOSCARWINNER actress? Because she was on a show for a long time? Because she doesn't have a husband? I mean, so she made a commercial. Big deal. She's not on drugs, running for office, speaking with a fake British accent, showing her snatch in public or on The View.

Posted by: the other Courtney at March 8, 2011 4:32 PM

Maybe it's the "nude" hair color that makes it so easy for people to project their own emotional baggage and/or stereotype-driven mindset on to her. Public divorce, a string of unfortunate rom-coms, that HAIR, the how dares she maintain a nice figure in her age not-that-I'm-jealous factor, and voila!, what an easy target to throw frustrated darts at. Sometimes, fuck, a lot of times it's funny. And sometimes it's just sad, like in this case when the whole tirade is based on an obviously wrong premise. This is not her, Cindy. This is a role she's playing. For money, big money, but also to piss you off and she succeeded no less than brilliantly: not only is this the most viewed video of the day on the whole of YouTube but you're writing about both her and the water. She even got you to mention other products from the portfolio and effectively volunteer in creating awareness of the brand she promotes. For no money. Colossal failure, sure, but not on her part.

Posted by: schmerpes at March 8, 2011 4:36 PM

She was on an extraordinarily successful TV show, she has starred in several extremely (financially) successful films, and she is about to flip her house for an eleventy-zillion percent profit. Why is everyone so mad at her? I don't enjoy her work, but she's not the devil and she's not some wizened crone hanging on to relevance (that's Madonna's job).

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at March 8, 2011 4:40 PM

The Other Courtney: I don't hate her, I'm just completely exhausted by her. I'm guessing that a lot of the dislike comes from the fact that she is just everywhere, all the time. They just keep trying to push her down our throats all the time as this sad, desperate woman who got a divorce a million years ago. It's just exhausting.

Posted by: figgy at March 8, 2011 4:42 PM

More articles like this I say.

This no-talent, no-man-having, can't-keep-a-man bimbo needs to be reminded of how much she's lacking, constantly.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 8, 2011 4:43 PM

Oh and already we see the Racheloonies coming out of the wood work to defend her.

You people make me wanna PUKE!

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 8, 2011 4:47 PM

Hate Aniston, but are entertained by Charlie Sheen? Can't stand Pattinson but he's mentioned on every other post here? Come on Pajiba, you're better than that.

Posted by: Lulu at March 8, 2011 4:53 PM

wow, dude, it is just a commercial. aniston doesn´t deserve so much hate, if she likes that haircolor and these clothes, it´s her thing you know. she is no cate blanchett, she will never have her career or her acting abilities, she likes where she is, making dumb movies on hawaii. would i do it as well.. Yessa!

Posted by: Trippp at March 8, 2011 4:57 PM

I think she's kinda meh and I don't see her movies, ever, but I don't see why this clip inspires so much vitriol. It wasn't that bad.

Posted by: klingonfree at March 8, 2011 5:00 PM

Name the last Aniston project you saw and loved.

Posted by: Fredo at March 8, 2011 5:02 PM

"This no-talent, no-man-having, can't-keep-a-man bimbo needs to be reminded of how much she's lacking, constantly."

I've been following this website for a year now, and I've seen a lot of this kind of sentiment from BarbadoSlim whenever the subject of an article is a woman.

Dude. Who hurt you? Do you want to talk about it? It's okay...

Posted by: Rest In Peace at March 8, 2011 5:08 PM

waaaaaiitaminute.

She is a performer - it is her JOB to perform. Maurice Micklewhite (Michael Caine)has often been quoted talking about why he takes "bad" scripts: because it's his job!

If you aren't working, then you are out of work. clearly Anniston is one of those people who wants to be working. The fact that she can find work suggests that all of the hate is not in fact reflected by the numbers (yes yes, we know her movies have often been less than box office magic) but clearly she's famous enough, and innocuous enough, that she works for adverts.

I have no affection for her one way or another, but she's working, and that's worthy of at least a hat tip. For most actors and professional musicians, the dream of a paying gig is like a holy grail - even if it's for doing voiceover work for dogfood.

Posted by: morganew at March 8, 2011 5:17 PM

I don't know that I hate Aniston as much as I love watching Slim turn red. As for Jen herself, I just remember having a really yum yummy dream about her once. You know, the kind where you find a pot of gold but wake up before you can grab it? That didn't happen. And as for her acting, I think spending 10 years having the planet examine your every facial tic would burn through everything you have. I mean, lookit DeNiro ferfuxsake. Man's a walking parody of himself.
So Jen, call me. I'm around.

Posted by: Odnon at March 8, 2011 5:27 PM

When Aniston suddenly starts endorsing as many products as Brooke Shields does, I may be concerned. Until that time, I see very little reason to be so miffed by her existence.

Posted by: Amanda6 at March 8, 2011 5:30 PM

Soooo...pity for Charlie Sheen and vitriol for Jennifer Aniston?

Yaaaay, women!

Posted by: superasente at March 8, 2011 5:59 PM

This article was meant tongue-in-cheek, right? Because otherwise it's just a mean spirited and nasty hatchet job on a pretty innocuous actress. And I think it's a safe bet that this same woman who is getting bashed for her appearance is better looking than anyone that reads this website.

Jesus Christ, Pajiba is going down the crapper if this is considered an appropriate article, particularly on a day that's supposed to celebrate women.

Posted by: snapnhiss at March 8, 2011 6:16 PM

Well, her horrible commercial got you talking about her, smart water, and linking to the video itself. Hmm...success or failure?

Posted by: Jeane at March 8, 2011 6:40 PM

That commercial is just wrong...

Posted by: Tsachi at March 8, 2011 7:24 PM

VitaminWater is so successful because of those hilarious Steve Nash videos. I'd link them but that involves way too much work on my part so do yourselves a favor and YouTube "Steve Nash" and "vitaminwater"

Posted by: noonoo at March 8, 2011 7:38 PM

I don't know anyone who actively hates her. She's too fucking uninspiring to even engender something as exciting as hate.

She's a saltine cracker. A soggy waffle. She's like painting every wall in your house gray, then buying gray furniture. And painting the exterior beige to mix things up!

I agree with the point about bringing attention to the commercial. Don't even pay attention to her. It's not like she's hard up for money. Mybe eventually she'll move full-time to Cabo and stop showing up everywhere in beige clothes with that same damn hair and lack of personality.

It's like years ago someone decided she was attractive enough to not need anything else, so she never developed much of a personality. Ever seen her in a sit-down interview? Fuck. THAT'S time you'll never get back.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at March 8, 2011 7:52 PM

Yeah I can tell you don't care for her, she's so unimportant to you that you felt you had to come back to the thread and post a second comment. Thank you, it was really necessary.

Posted by: Nobi at March 8, 2011 8:10 PM

You're welcome, Nobi. I can tell my opinion of her bothers you, which made it all worth it.

She's boring and can't act. There, now go cry for Rachel Green some more!

Agreed. The glee people take on calling Jennifer Aniston pathetic and desperate is in itself pathetic and desperate. Not to mention, the way people dump on her for being single and childless is sexist and gross.

Posted by: Turtle at March 8, 2011 8:45 PM

God. This idea that you can NEVER criticize a woman just because she's a woman is ridiculous.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at March 8, 2011 8:51 PM

Sorry, had more to say...
First, Thank God there were a lot of other people who thought the vitriol was misplaced or uncharacteristic (and dude, I think BarbadoSlim was speaking in hyperbole...though he's probably still not an admirer].

Second, is this really what this site is about? Just making fun of celebrities we don't like? It seems like the stuff of many much lesser sites out there. I can see hating on Polanski because he falls into the right subject demographic, or Charlie Sheen, because he elicits a lot of ire for being so cocky about bringing in so much money with the putrid crap that is his show. But hating on Jennifer Aniston as a person because she's lame or uninteresting? I know this site is scathing and bitchy, but that seems cruel all the same. At worst, she's bland and uninspiring. I haven't liked her in anything except The Good Girl, but I think she has a right to live and at least the same right to make money as any other celebrity who sells out.

Posted by: birj at March 8, 2011 8:55 PM

Actually Snuggiepants, it doesn't really bother me, I just thought you were giving a little too much importance to someone who bores you so much and you consider has no substance. I would've preferred reading your take on her instead of Cindy's, that's the one that bothered me, women talking trash about other women has always seemed so low to me, especially on a day like today. But well, I guess that's what we get on Pajiba these days.

Posted by: Nobi at March 8, 2011 8:55 PM

It's Overly Sensitive About Other People's Opinions Of Celebrities Day.

You're right--what I wrote about her (and what Cindy wrote about her) was twenty times more interesting than she is. It's easy to do.

For the record, I could give a shit that she's single or childless. Hey, good for her. I've never ever had a problem with someone else's marital or reproductive status. Who cares?

I do care when someone is aggressively sold to me as talented and interesting when they're anything but.

Agreed. I'm not a big Aniston fan, but it's always stood out to me the way people gleefully harp on her for shallow reasons. The way people dump on her for being single and childless is sexist and pathetic. Not to mention, it is absurd to call someone who has maintained an active movie career a "colossal failure."

And saying a grown woman should back to being the "adorable chick" she used to be is insulting.

Posted by: Turtle at March 8, 2011 9:08 PM

But well, I guess that's what we get on Pajiba these days.

haha

Posted by: vdo86 at March 8, 2011 9:12 PM

Reading a website is a voluntary endeavor. I think Cindy's parenthetical comment at the end about what women are good for is pretty obviously sarcasm.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at March 8, 2011 9:14 PM

Okay, girlfriend is not the most interesting story in the bookcase. She doesn't do anything you could actually form an opinion about. She's just there, like some kind of filler for the seat labelled '40-something actress'.

Maybe because she's bland and mostly keeps to herself, but is easily-recognised and does photograph well, every tabloid writer and internet commentor makes up their own story about her. Which ends up saying more about their state of mind than her, really.

Ultimately, everytime I read these sort of articles, I can't help but wonder how much is Aniston herself, and how much is just her being a blank wall for people to project their own raging insecurites about their attractiveness, fertility and ability to keep the attention of their partner.

Posted by: ScienceGeek at March 8, 2011 9:26 PM

Yeah, I got it. Really, I believe that you don't like her and you have a right to express yourself. That is all right and good. Cindy also has that right to express herself, but maybe if she had done it in a funny, mock-the-celebrity kind of way, it would have been better, but she just sounds so bitter and hateful that it wasn't a pleasant read at all. We just got to see Cindy's feelings about this person and they are just awful, the way she wrote it makes her looks worse than Aniston herself. And all for a freakin' commercial. Give me a break, she's not Katherine Heigl, she's not stupid Gwyneth Paltrow, she didn't do anything to you. If you just can't stand her, don't pay so much attention to her, that's all it takes. You don't have to accept she's the big movie star everyone makes her to be if that's not what you think.

Pajiba is really not a gossip site, nor should it try to be. It doesn't have the writers for it.

Posted by: Nobi at March 8, 2011 9:31 PM

This is irrelevant, but until I looked verrry closely at that picture, I was confused as to why Pajiba was writing about Avril Lavigne.

Now THERE'S a celebrity we can all get behind hating, right? Right??!

Posted by: nosio at March 8, 2011 9:54 PM

Nobi, where's the gossip???

Posted by: Snuggiepants at March 8, 2011 10:00 PM

Hell. I'll do you one better:

Name the last Aniston project that WASN'T a formula rom-com ?

Posted by: Mr. Stitch at March 8, 2011 10:01 PM

Well "Miscellaneous" must surely include gossip, right? If not, my bad. I'm just not used to seeing many Pajiba headlines about celebrities in commercials.

Posted by: Nobi at March 8, 2011 10:22 PM

How else would you classify this think piece?

Posted by: snapnhiss at March 8, 2011 10:37 PM

You know, I actually got bored enough to do a count. Not bored enough to do it properly, but I think the results are demonstrative.

Number of references to Aniston's hair, clothing, fertility, perceived happiness, ex-husband, HIS ex-girlfriend, his ex-girlfriend's website, his new girlfriend, Glee, other TV shows and celebrities: 15

Number of references to the actual ad (excluding direct insults): 3

Number of direct insults: 20.

Number of insults disguised as advice: 8

Posted by: ScienceGeek at March 8, 2011 10:52 PM

Remember when Pajiba was about movie reviews?

Posted by: Cath at March 8, 2011 11:58 PM

I remember when Pajiba was about zombies, whiskey fountains and TK's basement. Cindy fits right in, far as I'm concerned. Rantastic!

I find it more disturbing that flavoured/enhanced/transmogrified water seems to be an acceptable thing to produce, advertise, purchase and consume. When did regular H20 become not good enough for Americans? Granted, it's been a while since I last crossed the pond, but surely there are better ways to spend your money and remain hydrated, no?

Posted by: cinekat at March 9, 2011 7:52 AM

Tap water FTW!

Posted by: Uda at March 9, 2011 8:29 AM

I get really tired of the "desperate and pathetic" description of Jennifer Aniston. Honestly...nobody who makes comments like that has any idea what she's like personally. If you don't like her work, that's one thing. If you hate this commercial, fine. But it saddens me to see her constantly labeled as this "sad spinster whose husband was stolen by a vixen". Seems to me that's something people are projecting on her, and it doesn't appear to me to be deserved.
Personally, I've liked her in the roles I've seen her play and in interviews she seems relatively down to earth. So she was married to Brad for awhile. So she's dated some guys in Hollywood. So she's still single...why is this a subject of scrutiny and mocking? I just don't get the vitriol.

Right around the time Coca Cola became a brand powerhouse.

My kid loves Vitamin Water. She's under no illusions that it's healthy, she just likes the taste. Now, Smartwater? Yeah, I just don't see the point in that.

Posted by: , at March 9, 2011 11:06 AM

BRILLIANT piece of writing! Thanks for this. You've summed up how I feel about her, too. She tries to get attention for all the wrong reasons (her cuteness, a nice body, her personal life, advertising appeal, money, etc) and not for the right ones (talent, interesting personality, good movies, intelligence, humanitarian work, etc). I remember when she said that taking luxury vacations to Cabo San Lucas was her idea of "charity for the Mexican people." I just can't believe this shallow, self-absorbed materialistic person is still so popular. It boggles the mind, really.

Posted by: Katherine at March 9, 2011 2:27 PM

I find it disturbing that people get upset when someone else's opinion of a CELEB doesn't mesh with their own. So, some people find her inoffensive and cute. I don't. I find a woman who has 150 million dollars to her name selling bottled water for another 5 million really sad. Do you really need the money, Rachel? Really? For what? More hair care products? Talk about greedy. And, this woman has also preached about being environmentally-friendly by taking 5 minute showers and driving fuel-efficient SUVs. Then she hawks bottled water (the #1 landfill polluter)?? What gives, Rachel? Doesn't she know that only 10% of bottled water is recycled? Doesn't she know that the plastic in those bottles leach into the soil? It's ridiculously hypocritical on her part. Obviously, drinking SmartWater hasn't done a thing to improve her intelligence. And there's plenty of reasons to dislike this over-exposed under-talented bimbo. Her fans can go suck it with their whiny "how can you not like Rachel" complaints. Go back to your Friends fan sites and let people have their opinions.

Seriously, if I'm ever a successful, good-looking, independent woman- SHOOT ME IN THE FACE! Not only would it disappoint me, but society as a whole.

Posted by: Amanda at March 9, 2011 4:24 PM

Like Jen Aniston is hated for being successful, good-looking and independent? HAHA. Nice try making the beef with her into some ridiculous woman's liberation issue--as if Jen Aniston represents all women!

It's about the fact the women is a constant ME-machine. She's in your face all the time, on magazine covers, doing interviews, doing bad/ misogynistic and insulting movies, selling perfume, selling water, and selling her personal life. All she does is promote herself (her cute face, body and hair). She doesn't represent the women on the earth who are talented, interesting, smart, giving, wise or thoughtful. She doesn't represent women who are interested in more out of life than fame, money or having a cute face/body at a certain age. Aniston is all about being a celebrity, always looking for more attention and more money. It amazes me that not only do people idolize her, but they make ridiculous arguments on why everyone else must idolize her, too! That's pretty funny.

Posted by: Cecilia at March 9, 2011 5:02 PM

Well done Cecilia, you don't sound crazy at ALL.

Posted by: snapnhiss at March 9, 2011 8:19 PM

It seems like insipid lady used to be more confident back in the first half of 90's, yes? She looked pretty decent -for a celeb- before Angelina came along and stole her boyfran. Then the Jenbrangelina dramz happened and it all went downhill from there --just for Jen obv.

The saddest part was the eternal wallowing in deluded self-pity. and the diary chapter.

Now I just can't see her face without thinking of all that. & that she looks like she's still planning what will be her failed comeback

But personal life aside. It's kind of safe to say that she was never all that good in movies

She was okay in "Friends" --though I still prefer Phoebe. but that was it.

Posted by: tities at March 10, 2011 6:46 AM

Wow, calling someone crazy b/c they dislike Aniston? Seriously, snapnhiss, your comment reflects your state of mind more so than anyone else's.

I agree w/Cecilia. I was sympathetic towards Jen after the divorce. But after that, she lost me. It's funny how some people think Aniston is some role model for women b/c she's made lots of money by being inoffensive, bland eye-candy. Is that admirable?

Her movie choices make me cringe. Her last movie was with Adam Sandler, before that she made a film about some guy deceptively switching her chosen sperm w/his own, and then, they end up together (ewww), and before that she did a movie with Gerard Butler where she utters these fabulous lines, "I may be a strong woman, but on the inside I'm just a girl who wants to be loved by her man." Her movies are really terrible. The only one I like was Office Space and that was yrs ago.

Her movies don't reflect strength, independence, or even a woman with half a brain. And her interviews are painful ("I dress up for a living like a retard"). I don't find her admirable and I find it strange that people insinuate that you are anti-female b/c you don't like Aniston??? Her fans are certainly dedicated to defending her in any way possible, tho--I'll give her that.

Posted by: pookie at March 10, 2011 4:51 PM

I guess the words "scathing reviews for bitchy people" is not understood by thin-skinned Aniston fans. I, for one, LOVE this review. Spot on.

pookie, reading comprehension can come in handy at times, you might try it. Sounding crazy is not the same thing as being crazy, even though I appreciate your attempt at convincing any other readers of this thread that I actually said that. Bitterly railing against someone you've never met and assigning them all sorts of personality disorders because you don't like their movies sounds... well... crazy.

I'm not particularly a fan of Aniston's but I get a little peeved when I see asinine comments like they actually know her and she's somehow involved in their lives. Get a grip, this mindset is unhealthy.

Oh, and Ciel-o? This wasn't a review. The scathing and bitchy reviews are what drew me here several years ago, but this bullshit is making me re-evaluate my fondness for this site.

I love people who say others are in need of better reading comprehension skills and then display a serious lack of comprehension themselves. This was a review of Aniston's viral video and her career choices of late. Reviews do not only apply to movies, love. You can review commercials, stickers, or anything else your heart desires.

Cecilia pointed out some good examples of behaviors that Aniston has displayed. She didn't draw anything out of thin air. She called her a ME-machine, because the woman can't stay out of the spotlight for more than a minute. That says something about someone's personality. It's funny how you rail against her saying she doesn't know Aniston personally. Yet, you do the same yourself in evaluating her comment, and yet that's OK? Do you know Cecilia personally? Pretty hypocritical of you.

And you insinuated that someone "sounds crazy" meaning they might be crazy. That's playing semantics. Nice try but no dice.

I guess "scathing and bitchy" is ok as long as it's an evaluation of someone other than Aniston? Ok. Seriously go to a fan site if you are that
thin-skinned about this lady.
