The world thinks Jennifer Aniston is the most eligible bachelorette ever. Well, 29% of Americans think she’s more of an eligible single lady than Halle Berry, Elin Nordegren, Betty White (FOR REAL?!?), Lady Gaga and Justice Elena Kagan. I mean… sure, on THAT list, I guess I could see it, although I’m still a little flummoxed by Aniston’s domination over Betty White?!? Basically, this poll just shows that 29% of Americans really think Jennifer should date their friend Dave. I think you met Dave at our Christmas party last year – he works with John. Dave just got a divorce, and he’s going through a hard time, but he’s such a nice guy! He’s really sweet, and he loves dogs, just like you, Jennifer. You should meet Dave for coffee. No pressure, but he’s really wonderful! Here’s his number, I’ll tell him you’re going to call.
She’s been rejected by Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, John Mayer and, most recently, Cougar Town star Josh Hopkins. And apparently most men and women don’t understand why.
The currently-unattached actress, 41, was voted the most eligible single woman in the world, according to a 60 MINUTES/Vanity Fair poll released Monday.
The star (who nabbed 29 percent of the votes) was followed by Halle Berry (21 percent); Elin Nordegren (15 percent); Betty White (11 percent); Lady Gaga (5 percent) and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Elena Kagan (4 percent).
Despite being so unlucky in love, Aniston has said she doesn’t want people to pity her.
“This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love?” she once told Vogue. “I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love…I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
[From Us Weekly]
Can I just ask – where is Sandra Bullock? Did they not think to include Sandy? Because Sandy gets my vote for most eligible. Sandy really would meet Dave for coffee, and they would get along really well. Dave would want to take Sandy to dinner, and she would be all “I had such a great time, but I’m not really in that place. We should be friends.” And Dave would have his heart broken all over again. Also: where is Cameron Diaz on this list? Was she not included because she’s dating A-Rod? Eh.
Back to Jennifer – score another one for her Girl-Next-Door persona! I wonder if the other 71% of people think Jennifer is masochist who loves casual relationships with douchey a–holes who gossip about her being a “sport f-ck”.
This was rigged no Cameron, no Drew and no Sandra??? But I’ll give her props she is more eligible than Lady Gaga.
Poor Dave…
Keep your chin up, buddy.
OH! Uh…master mass media manipulator…blah, blah, blah…it’s her own fault…yada, yada, yada…give it a rest…yeah, yeah, yeah…Huvane is the devil…whatever, whatever, whatever…
awwwwww…..
Most eligible or most available? It sounds like she’ll do anything with a fuctioning dick.
OMG Betty White!?!?..cry…anyway I love Jen,so good for her!
So was the alternate name for the poll, “Old Maid losers that can’t find a good man to save their lives?”
Why is there such a poll to begin with?
dood gtfoh
Totally OT but isn’t this supposed to be Hollywood Scandal Monday or something like that? Bring on the dirt!
“So was the alternate name for the poll, “Old Maid losers that can’t find a good man to save their lives?””
What prehistoric rock did you crawl out from under?
She’s so pretty. What’s wrong with being single anyway? Everyone that gets married eventually end up unhappy and/or divorced…sheesh
good. she s gorgeous!
To Number 10,
Not everyone is unhappy or divorced! My parents have been married 40 years still pretty happy. My brother and his wife 15 years–pretty damn happy. Me and my wife 12 years pretty damn happy. Marriage isn’t the problem.
But I don’t know what to say about Aniston.
Iron Dude: All 5 of my best friends parents: Married at least 15 years, all divorced. My parents, married 10 years-divorced. My grandparents-married 45 years-divorced.
Marriage is a problem for some people.
And whose cornflakes at US Weekly did Jennifer Aniston piss in? Every damn week it’s something new with the poor pathetic Jen schtick. It’s getting old.
I kinda like the idea that she just might be a masochist. It doesn’t seem to depress her in the slightest.
Typical society, a women who is single in her 40s is seen as a sad desperate ‘spinster’ but a guy the same age is the dashing ‘bachelor’.
When things don’t work out her way, she’s bothered. Which is alot. She will do whatever to have what she wants happen and make the same mistakes constantly.
This doesn’t seem like a compliment for men or women. Unless the guy is in his 20’s
Hey #9! What part of sarcasm do you not understand?
They do most eligible bachelors. So how is it diffrent?
However the list I think MOST MEN would rank
Halle Berry
Sandra Bullock
Cameron Diaz
Way before Jennifer Aniston.
I never bought the “poor, lonely Jennifer” persona. I think she’s the female version of John Mayer, minus the douchery – loves ’em, leaves ’em, breaks hearts all over the place but because she has the “unlucky in love/lovesick/poor lonely divorcee” identity thrust upon her by the media, she gets away with it. And more power to her. I heart JA.
“I never bought the “poor, lonely Jennifer” persona.”
nor did I. it’s the ragmags (and her “haters”…oh, wait, “there isn’t enough there to hate”…though their posts tell us how they REALLY feel) who perpetuate this nonsense.
just look at US Weakly’s (intentional typo) first line. it’s clear how they want to portray her. and the people who DON’T like her eat it up.
btw, did 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair actually tell us WHO was polled? a breakdown of men vs. women or age or ANYTHING? just “Americans”?
Another Huvane triumph!
Huvane strikes again! lol.
“Everyone that gets married eventually end up unhappy and/or divorced…”
Wow, you sound bitter. I really feel very sorry for you.
I guess my parents (50 years), brother (26 years) and I (21 years) are all lying about our happiness with our spouses.
Yup. We just put on a great big act for everyone.
I love how they write “the most eligible single woman in the world”, really? In the whole world? Idk
Last week sport f**k this week most eligible single woman in the World Congrats Jen
I like Jen, and I don’t think she’s feeling too sad taking her hot body to Cabo and coming home to her gorgeous house. It’s the magazines that portray her as some lonely and desperate woman, and that should piss off everyone with a vagina. It baffles me that women hate on her.
And you’re so right, because your friends all got divorced, it MUST mean that no one can be happily married.
Maybe your friends have no relationship skills.
Great to see something positive and nice said about beautiful Jen – she does not pretend to be anything other than a simple fun loving single woman who is financially independent and why shouldn’t she live her life how she wants – good on her!
Wow could US be more catty by saying she was dumped by a bunch of men? I think this survey was answered more by women than men. I don’t think most men think of Jennifer as the first person they’d like to date. These are some bad photos of Jennifer. I don’t know why women think it’s sexy to flip their hair. It’s just really childish. I laugh everytime I see that perfume photo. She looks so goofy.
Excuse me but people who dislike Jen don’t think Jen is poor, pathetic, or whatever either. We know damn well nothing is wrong with her but to me Jen plays the victim every chance she gets. Thats what her fans love and they wanna protect her, they wanna blame someone for Jen being all alone and pathetic. Please some of her more simple minded fans may fall for that mess but I don’t.
This poll was stupid. Lady Gaga is 23 or 24 years old, she isn’t looking to settle down.
lol@Kaiser’s write up, great stuff 😆 .
@ Love Angelina- I agree with you.
Seriously? That’s embarassing.
@Elm: I think at the age of 41, most people expect a woman to be something more than a simple fun loving single woman. She doesn’t seem to have any real interests. She gives godawful interviews and acts as if she can’t string a coherent sentence together. Her fans describe her — at age 41 — as “cute” and “perky”. Cute and perky are for puppies and two-year-olds. To you she may be a simple fun-loving woman. To me she is a shallow, superficial airhead. And I wouldn’t be surprised if every guy she has dated since her divorce has considered her a “sport f*ck”, even if they weren’t as crude as whats-his-face to say it. JMO.
Congratulations, Huvane, once again for tending to comments about Aniston being a “sport f**k.” Most of the blogs were negative and you answered.
Continue to ignore and evade the consistent behavior of the men with which she has chosen to be involved. Outside of Jessica Simpson, I cannot think of any other modern day female celebrity where men share dismissive comments about her AFTER they have dated her. I have never seeen so many press releases to quickly deny being in a relationship with such a “beautiful” celebrity. It’s like there is a consensus that a relationship with Jennifer means death to your career and future respect in Hollywood.
In 6 years, there have only been 2 men willing to be hold her hand in public _ John Mayer and Vince Vaughn. Her popularity does not match her box office results. Most eligible single woman? In the world? IDKAT.
Eligible for what, exactly?
Most eligible and still no man wants the OLD cinnamon face leather skin Bit-h!!!
What offends me the most is the statement that she was “rejected by Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, John Mayer and, most recently, Cougar Town star Josh Hopkins.” She had relationships with these men that didn’t work out. Who is to say she didn’t reject them? I hate how they make her seem so pathetic. Look at her. Who wouldn’t want to be with her.
Sorry, Kaiser, I think Dave is way too good for Jen.
I can’t fathom how her fans still say it’s the rag-mags who do this to her. Like she has no control of her image? Give me a break.
I mean who in their right mind is OK with a magazine advertising her as “Jen: 5 Years After Brad, Fun, Flirty, and Fourty!” People magazine did that this year. The same magazine she invited to take pictures of her birthday party in Cabo. It’s obvious that she promotes this image of single-dom, and still doesn’t mind that connection to Brad.
If I was identified with an ancient-history ex, I would be screaming bloody murder. Of course she’s ok with it because it keeps the sympathy train going. It makes her fans go, “Awww, Jen is so sweet, my friend Dave would like her . . . ”
I find her sctick very manipulative. Whatever keeps her in the papers is fine. And, if she were to settle down, people would stop caring anymore. Keeping herself single and dating keeps her in the presses. And, if she gets attention–even if it’s negative–out comes her PR to address the topic–keeping her in the presses yet again.
Eventually, it becomes obvious that her real boyfriend is FAME. Just like that guy she dated. What was him name? Oh yes–John Mayer. They are very much alike actually.
Everyone that gets married eventually end up unhappy and/or divorced…sheesh
**************
I’ll let my parents know that after 35 years of marriage, it’s time to pack it in.
whoa… who knew being 40 and single was such a huge stigma today.
@brenda: Who wouldn’t want her? Every guy who was linked with her in the tabloids and immediately went running to his publicist to put out a denial that they were “just friends” and there was nothing between them. It’s as Josephina said, the men seem to be running away from her, not toward her.
I suppose it’s easy to rationalize her inability to maintain a relationship by saying she doesn’t want to be in one.
You people don’t need to hate on Jen just to be able to admit your love for Angelina. It’s okay, so for goodness sake, leave this poor girl alone. I can’t fathom what she has done that is so unforgivable that she deserves such bashing from other women. And before you all start hating on me because I brought Angelina into this, it’s because it seems to me the posts that I read from people who are Jen bashing, seem to be the same posters that are Angelina worshipping. That’s all. Is it because she is single and financially stable? Is it jealousy? Honestly, please let me in on the secret, because evidently, I missed the memo.
Super Sleuth: My thought exactly. I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you.
Super Sleuth: That’s pretty much the gist of it on both sides of this stupidity.
@SS: I can only speak for myself. I’m divorced, financially stable, looking good, and totally not jealous of any woman who hops from bed to bed in a desperate search for a hot man who can put up with her for more than two weeks, and has to settle for guys who refer to her as a “sport f*ck”.
This woman does not inspire jealousy; rather, she inspires pity, and there is a very thin line between pity and contempt. She crossed it a long time ago.
@ Super Sleuth – you don’t have to be an Angelina lover to diss on Jen. She brings all the negative comments on her herself by her words and actions. If it weren’t for her insatiable need for attention, there wouldn’t be any “Jen bashing”.
@Lucky Charm. Thank you.
I get tired of her fans resorting to the “you must like Anglina” if you don’t like Jen. Yeah, because everyone in the world SHOULD love the talented lady who always plays Rachel, says “retard” and talks like a teen, thinks that vacationing in Mexio is “charity,” and who strips nude to sell movies, bottled water and perfume. And, she dissed Sex and the City as “not empowering to women,” saying she would not do roles like that. Because a movie about switching sperm and being impregnated with a turkey baster is really empowering? It boggles my mind that people actually admire her. She’s not that talented, she’s not that bright, she’s manipulative in trying to cash in on her love life/the girl power/cougar trend, and she is in love with fame. Not much to admire as far as I see??? Of course, it’s all Angelina’s fault some people dislike her. It’s always her fault. Of course! 🙂
Cheyenne: “…woman who hops from bed to bed in a desperate search for a hot man who can put up with her for more than two weeks, and has to settle for guys who refer to her as a “sport f*ck”.”
What makes you think she’s interested in continuing the relationships for more than two weeks? And what makes you think she’s “settled” with a guy she maybe went on one date with and probably screwed a couple of times? What makes you think she’s interested in having an type of long term relationship? Her last one didn’t work out so well.
It seems that in your world, a single divorced woman who probably sport f*cks all the guys she’s supposedly “dated” is desperate and pitiful.
I’d call that having fun. You seem to want her to be married with children. She doesn’t seem to want that so why shouldn’t she be a bachelorette and not settle down?
Oh right, because if a woman does it she’s pitiful and desperate. And since we’re still living in the early 1900s according to you, a woman can’t go out and casually date in her 40s because it’s pitiful and desperate. Hmmm…I’m wondering where that animosity comes from.
She’s in the same boat as you are. She’s divorced, financially stable and is in ridiculously good shape. The only difference I can think of is that she’s out playing the field and you’re sticking to the stands because…? What?
AMEN #44! It always makes me laugh how Aniston fans have this particular view of her, and then get angry when others don’t see her like that. They keep saying the same thing: “She’s a great girl . . . blah, blah . . . I know her so well . . . beautiful, rich . . . you’re a JEALOUS hater! . . . wah, wah, wah.”
Sorry, I don’t buy the Aniston Kool Aid.
Her movies suck ass. And, I find her constant attention-seeking behavior annoying. I remember all those pics of her making out with John Mayer while the paparazzi took pics. I found her gross then, and I still find her gross now. And her fans are just as obnoxious.
Dear #45:
The difference between someone, like you,who appears to have gone tone deaf where JENNIFER’S OWN UTTERANCES are concerned, and the rest of us WHO LISTEN TO HER AND TAKE HER AT HER WORD, is that we form our opinion of her, based on WHAT SHE SAYS IN HER INTERVIEWS WITH LEGITIMATE MEDIA, not on whats in our imagination.
You said:”What makes you think she’s interested in having any type of long term relationship?”
Answer: Jennifer said in her VF 05 interview that she functions best in a relationship and that IN 5 YEARS, she will be remarried and have at least one kid. She said this nearly SIX YEARS AGO and in various other utterance since then.
We, like Brad, believe that “you go make the things you want”, so we are waiting on Jen to DEMONSTRATE that she has the capability to go do the things she says she wants to do (“bursting to direct” for example)and stop allowing herself to be lead by the nose by huvane, her image-maker.
BTW, its most curious that someone like you contorts yourself to rationalize jen’s promiscuity.
@Lucky Charm, MuMu, Lilly and WhoDat: Great comments guys. You all nailed it and I couldn’t agree with you more if I tried. 😀
WhoDat: I’m not “rationalizing promiscuity”. She’s dating around. As long as she’s doing it safely, whats the problem?
And she said that 5 YEARS AGO (ALLCAPS).
A lot can change in 5 years. Name a newer interview in which she’s said she wants to be married and have a baby this year. Lately, she’s said that men come and go but there is no relationship like the one you have with a dog. Something tells me she’s not really interested in marriage and a baby anymore.
Some quick research leads to learning that she said that directing thing in April. Do you know how long it takes to get a movie made?
I said I wanted to marry my boyfriend and have a child by the time I was 25 when I was 18. I’m 24 now and we broke up ages ago-still no marriage or baby. And I have no real prospects on the horizon.
Am I not “making the things I want” because I’m concentrating on starting my career and getting a good start in my adult life outside of marriage?
Do you hold people to EVERYTHING they EVER said at ANY time in their life? In that case, you’d probably think I was mentally unstable as I’ve changed my thoughts and opinions about a lot of things as I learn and grow.
How would you feel if people judged you based on the things you said years ago?
EDIT: And no, I don’t take everything a celebrity says seriously. They lie for a living. If you take a celebrity at their word with every little utterance, then you are gullible as heck.
who cares what you people say about her, everybody has an opinion, and they are entitled to their opinion ….
I dont think that jen gives a rats ass to any of you haters…. she has over 100,000,000 and still, most of you or all of you i should say together wont even see that much money even if you live 200 years…who cares that she is single… she was with brad for so long ,i think that is enough for a lifetime…some people are married for a long time with an ugly ass dude who is not treating them well and they are always miserable, do you think it is better to live like that , than to live like a princess the way jen lives………
United states has become so sexist, United States violates the rights of women around the world?
I am Latina, I do not speak English
forgiving. Use translator.
Formerly the village women’s liberation. Before respected intelligent women today make fun of them.
The country of freedom has become the country most sexist of all. Now they are even more sexist than here in Latin America.
Everyone thought that American men were good and faithful BUT ALL WE ARE ADVISED THAT SINCE THE WORST. Example: Before Brad Pitt was a role model for me, but since he deceived his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston fell off my pedestal and all blond hypocrites. They are the most sexist, but the propaganda that they are the best.
What do you appreciate America?
Feminine beauty and feelings more or less
Just as Angelina Jolie.
But that too was done in the Middle Ages, only appreciated women for their beauty and nothing else. What’s twilight?
America is the cradle of the most sexist saga of the world. A woman who is beautiful as Bella Swan, has good feelings and stupid. What is appreciated in the Middle Ages.
Please, that fell to the middle ages.
Men of the Middle Ages only admired pretty women of good feelings and having no brain.
And you Americans returned to the Middle Ages. Intelligent and decent women should have at least the same respect as the most beautiful.
