Will Jennifer Aniston be walking the red carpet with James Franco?

fp_6089166_aniston_jennifer_nyc_112010

These are some photos of Jennifer Aniston from the weekend. In some of them, she’s still in her (rather fabulous) costume for Wanderlust, and in some (the ones where she’s wearing jeans) she’s done with Wanderlust and she’s in her regular clothes. From what I can see, they’ve finished filming Wanderlust, and it’s now in post-production, probably to be released next year at some point. So what will Aniston do next? Surprisingly, she doesn’t have any films in preproduction, so the only thing she’s got on her plate professionally at this moment is several promotional tours next year. Time for a nice long vacation down in Cabo? Probably. But she might want to bring an A-List boyfriend with her – apparently, James Franco got some questions about Aniston, and Franco said he would up for it:

The “Millionaire Matchmaker” from Bravo’s show of the same name — Patti Stanger — believes Jennifer Aniston’s romantic woes should be solved by James Franco, and he agrees!

“How do you top Brad [Pitt?] You top Brad by pulling in James Franco,” Patti told Access Hollywood Live when Jen’s love life came up for discussion. “This would be great on-screen chemistry, as well in the bedroom at home. I think she’d get the hot factor back in her life with that.”

With that in mind, Access’ crew tracked down the 32-year-old star of 127 Hours at GQ’s Men of the Year party in Los Angeles to press him for a response.

“She’s a very beautiful woman,” Franco replied. “I think she’s dating someone.”

But what if she’s single?

Franco smiled and nodded his head in approval.

It might help with Franco’s Oscar chances, although I tend to think he’s probably guanteed an Oscar nomination this year, after being overlooked for Best Supporting Actor for Milk – a travesty that still bothers me. Can you see it? Aniston on Franco’s arm for every award show? Oh, it could happen. But something tells me that if it does happen, Franco would view it as “performance art”.

    she looks good

  2. brin says:

    Interesting. James Franco seems a bit wild for Jennifer but then she was with John Mayer, so who knows. If she’s got something to promote, I can see her walking the red carpet with him.

  3. Anna says:

    Damn! Those are some fug pics!

    Who cares who she’s pretending to be involved with?

  4. Praise St. Angie! says:

    damn, she’s got great style.

    not sure that Franco would be right for her…I think she’d think he was too “dirty”, and not in the good way.

    he cleans up nicely, but I think he prefers the grubby look.

  5. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    That would definately be interesting!
    It would catch my attention for sure.
    James Franco is hot!!

  6. carol says:

    Please!!!! What is Huvane paying you. She is not onlky not pretty but she is not nice either. The PR campaign continues. S tired of her.

  7. Sarah says:

    Nooooooooooooooooo James, noooooooooooo. 🙁

  8. LOVE ANGELINA says:

    Uhhh No. I need Aniston to stay away from James Franco. I need to have not read this, to late. However hell to the no. Hell to the no. Aniston wouldn’t improve his career even a little bit, she would make him tabloid fodder and he is so much better than that. I like James just as he is, a single man, smart, talented, and sexy, waiting for an even smarter, talented, and equally as sexy woman to come into his world…aka me…jk. No He is fine as he is.

    Patti Strange should have her show canceled. Has she ever successfully hooked anyone up? All the previews for her show are like “OMG I shouldn’t have hooked them up or OMG they are not a nice person, who I can get to date them or OMG whatever”.

  9. Stronzilla says:

    Well, just another reason for him to cut his arm off.

  10. Bodhi says:

    Um, no. I can’t imagine what in the hell they would talk about; strains of good ganja, I suppose.

    That sounds like wishful thinking on her part

  11. grace says:

    does James Franco not have a girlfriend? He is too good to be with JA, imho, even if he is single. I would think he’d go for a more intellectual type. And if he ever dated someone like her, I would lose a lot of the admiration (and hots) I have for him.
    Patti is so right about him toping Brad Pitt. BP is way too overated in both looks and talent, I am inclined to think.
    BTW, I watch The Millionaire Matchmaker, but I really can’t see how Patti claims a 99% success rate, when 99% of the matches in the show don’t work!

  12. mln says:

    There is not anyone in Hollywood and won’t be for a while who can match Brad Pitt circa 1997. Instead of trying to top that (like she did with the disaterous John Mayer) she needs an older man who is a director or a producer, who wouldn’t overshadow her and would support and nurture her career and guide her into doing some decent work.

  13. alex says:

    NO FREAKING WAY. Stay away James Franco, please stay away from her. I love James Franco and I don’t want him to be tainted

  14. carrie says:

    but Franco yet has a beard and isn’t he a Ted C’s Blind Vice?

    Anniston needs to work in a good movie because to be divorced with Pitt isn’t a career

  15. Maritza says:

    JA should adopt a kid already,men come and go but being a mom is much more gratifying. I have a feeling she would be a great mom.

  16. ohplease says:

    oh come on…

    she’s not that vile! i thk JA and JF coupling could totally work.

    they’d be a great looking couple. i’m totally up for the idea.

  17. mslewis says:

    Why would James Franco, a young man on the verge of major stardom, want with a 42 year old has-been actress? Franco considers himself an intellectual, an artist and a renaissance man; I don’t think he would be too interested in the latest tanning and exercise methods or what’s happening in Cabo. Just my thoughts.

  18. mylie1313 says:

    Totally agree with mslewis: Jennifer Aniston and fans are so into themselves that they can’t think straight. Why the hell should J. Franco want to burden himself with a washed up middle-age divorce? JA has already sowed her wild oats give James Franco a chance to sow his, there is a lot of young beautiful starlettes out there( YOUNG). Jennifer Aniston is nipped & tucked, botoxed restalayned and everthing else under the book although she thinks her doctor and money is so great no one can detect the work she had done.

  19. anti says:

    #9 — hilarious!

  20. ziggy says:

    that first pic is baaad! sheesh! well, i guess it’s not hard for aniston to take a bad pic….

  21. Cheyenne says:

    @mln: I’ve been saying the same thing for years but she keeps getting humped and dumped by one actor after the next. ITA she needs an older guy like a director or a producer. An actor is the last thing she needs.

    @maritza: She is way too self-absorbed with her appearance to be any kind of mom, and she’s already said she is not open to adopting a child.

  22. Cheyenne says:

    Carrie: Aniston needs to work in a good movie because to be divorced with Pitt isn’t a career
    ========================================

    LOL! Got to give the lady her props; she did a damn good job of making a career out of her divorce for five years. Now she’s finally learning that it’s old hat and nobody cares any more, so she’d better start making some decent films instead of churning out one tired romcom after another.

  23. Shi-gatsu says:

    I think the coupling could work! He seems very playful and yet very profound at the same time. Wow- he is hot!

    @LoveAngelina – it’s “too late” not “to late.” I guess his search for someone “smarter” continues. LOL- I’m kidding.

  24. The Hamm is My Dream Man says:

    “Jennifer Aniston and fans are so into themselves that they can’t think straight.”

    Read the post.

    That idiot from Millionaire Matchmaker is quoted as talking about a James Franco hook-up, not Aniston.

    Plus, I don’t think she wants a “stable” relationship with some older guy. She supports herself, has a vast network of friends who she considers her family and she probably considers her dog her child. What does she need a man for? Sex?

    And she doesn’t seem to care about the “art” of pretending to be someone else for a living. Why does she have to do what some classify as “decent” work? Why can’t she just exist in her particular sphere and appeal to the people she appeals to?

  25. Trillion says:

    @ #17: Exactement.

  26. skibunny says:

    I agree she needs to do some decent films. But most of what comes out of Hollywood lately is crap!

    @mylie1313:Jennifer Aniston and fans are so into themselves that they can’t think straight.

    That comment is ridiculous!

  27. mln says:

    @ The Hamm is my Dream Man, I guess I don’t see how she can be happy dating men who for instance call a press conference when they break up like John Mayer or call the tabs and give out gross details of their make out sessions like Van Holt. Jennifer herself spoke about wanting an Oscar when Friends ended however after Derailed she hasn’t been given another serious vehicle, and it’s doubtful she ever will unless someone seriously guides her career I mean there are only so many dog movies and rom-coms out there.

  28. di butler says:

    #13-Washed up middled aged actress? WTF?
    Whether you like her looks/acting/whatever, calling Aniston washed up is a hoot. I am guessing you are 14 since you insinuated a 42 yr old that looks like that is some old bag. I like Franco, too, but most 25 yr olds don’t look that good.

  29. Cheyenne says:

    @Hamm: “The art of pretending to be someone else” is what she does for a living. If she “doesn’t seem to care” about that any more and if she can’t be bothered trying to make some decent films, then she ought to just give it up and not inflict her crappy movies on the public. She can retreat to her “particular sphere” which is laying on her ass in Cabo with occasional shopping trips to Rodeo Drive and her hairdresser, and appeal to the airheads who make up the bulk of her fan base.

  30. normades says:

    Franco should have been nominated for Pineapple Express. Great comedic performances are so underrated.

    And NOOOOOO. He was just being polite. Jen Aniston is so pathetic and has no self esteem. That’s why she keeps trying to go out with hot guys who just end up treating her like crap.

  31. lu says:

    I don’t think so, he was just joking.

  32. Ha says:

    Right. Only problem being that she is more than 20 years older than his chosen democraphic of niave, innocent girls though. Sorry aniston!

  33. Embee says:

    They’d make a terrible couple, and I agree that he was being polite.

    JA is so relatable to so many people. I am baffled why she cannot find the project that allows her to parlay this quality into a a successful movie.

  34. Kitten says:

    Yeah that would be an awful coupling. Can’t see these two having much in common. Franco needs an artsy chick (like me!).
    For the record, I think Jen Aniston looks amazing for her age. Not that 42 is old but she looks fantastic.

  35. Emma says:

    @di butler: Franco is 32, not 25.

    Also, he doesn’t need a desperate/vulnerable lady like JA (or Jessica Simpson/Taylor Swift type)..he’s out of their league. He needs like a Rachel Weisz/Claire Danes/Rachel McAdams type; Smart with a good head on their shoulders.

  36. skibunny says:

    @Cheyenne:
    I’m not a big fan of JA’s movies but I dont think she’s “inflicting” them on anyone either. You choose to watch them or not. Obviously alot of people like them. If you dont like her that’s your perogative but to insult her fans isn’t right. I like her for her great sense of style and she comes across as a nice person. I dont consider myself an airhead either especially given the fact that I have several designations after my name.

  37. Camille says:

    Great style? Uh no. Looks just like any old regular outfit seen on anyone walking down the street to me. Nothing fashion forward or even unique about her. Very boring. JMO of course 😀 .

    And as Anna said, some really, really fug pics here, not attractive or beautiful at all. 😆

    And yeah I think Franco would only do the whole ‘showmance’ thing for the PR opportunities. I doubt JA is his type. As someone said, he was probably just being polite 😀 .

  38. observer says:

    They’d make a very attractive and interesting couple, that’s for sure. Both of them seem very down to earth, which I like.

  39. Louise says:

    Maybe I’m missing something but how in the world would dating Jennifer get Franco an Oscar? She can’t even get herself a nomination.

  40. The Hamm is My Dream Man says:

    mln: Friends ended six years ago. If she hasn’t gone for an Oscar bait project by now, chances are she won’t in the future.

    Cheyenne: You don’t have to watch her movies or follow her gossip stories. I think you’re just annoyed that she’s able to half-ass her job and get paid millions for it and you’re doing…whatever it is you’re doing.

  41. Crash2GO2 says:

    “I think you’re just annoyed that she’s able to half-ass her job and get paid millions for it and you’re doing…whatever it is you’re doing.”

    That and she’s cast herself in the role of Brad Pitt’s mom. You know – true love just happens, and if you get grand kids out of it it’s golden and STFU if anyone says any differently. (Not that BP’s mom feels that way, but Chey sure thinks she does.) 🙂

  42. Majosha says:

    “I think you’re just annoyed that she’s able to half-ass her job and get paid millions for it and you’re doing…whatever it is you’re doing.”

    ROTFL!

  43. DD says:

    Whether or not he actually feels that way, which I entirely think is possible, I have to give him respect for responding in a most gentlemanly way.

  44. DD says:

    Chey I’m surprised that you still post the same thing about JA on any JA thread I happen to read. Your points are really shallow, repetitive, and who are you really to judge any person that may enjoy her as an actress. I’m not into her movies, because I hate rom-com’s but I think she’s a likable person and to insult people who enjoy her films is really small minded of you.

  45. voodoobetty says:

    Jen Aniston has always looked like George W Bush to me

  46. Sarcasma says:

    “Cheyenne: You don’t have to watch her movies or follow her gossip stories. I think you’re just annoyed that she’s able to half-ass her job and get paid millions for it and you’re doing…whatever it is you’re doing.”

    Ouch!!!!

    Does anyone know what sunglasses those are? I want.
