Disclaimer: As with all recent Jennifer/John stories, take this with a huge grain of salt.
Jennifer Aniston is reportedly crazy in love with musician John Mayer, but he has one habit she could definitely live without.
Before she hit it big on Friends, Jennifer’s first movie was Leprechaun, a cult horror classic starring Warwick Davis as the vengeful wee title character.
According to Star, it’s a role Jennifer would rather forget, but John won’t let her — he plays the movie over and over.
“It really irritates her,” says a source. “It’s like nails on a chalkboard.” But Jen doesn’t say anything because she can tell it amuses him, says the source. Still, “Jennifer doesn’t understand his fascination with it. She says it’s weird.”
[From Star, print edition, August 18, 2008]
Jen’s right. It is weird. The source doesn’t specify what exactly amuses John — the film itself, the fact that Jennifer is in it, or that it annoys her when he watches it.
Maybe John is longing for a younger version of soon-to-be-40 Jennifer. Maybe he’s doing it because he knows it bugs her.
Or, since Jennifer still has her old nose in the film, maybe John just doesn’t realize it’s her.
Note by Celebitchy: May I add that you can have that salt you’re taking this story with on top of a cold margarita glass? This is a joke and is most likely completely made up. Props to the people at Star for coming up with it, though, and it does give us the excuse to post a lot of pictures of Aniston from the 1993 film.
to be sure
True or not, if only the story said Jen was sitting watching it with him and laughing along with him, then at least it might suggest that she has a glimmer of a sense of humour and is capable of laughing at herself. I keep on looking for something to get excited about with her but she consistently fails to deliver.
Wow, that was some major plastic surgery. Who knew?
The Mirror UK is reporting that they’ve broken up….
Eh – we all have buttons we don’t want pushed and that doesn’t mean we don’t have a glimmer of a sense of humor. If someone finds joy at continually pushing that button, you have to wonder if their nature isn’t a little bit abusive.
True, cici, take your point, possibly you’re right on Mayer (on top of the media being very provocative towards her so she has reason to be sensitive), but she still comes across that way to me. Like in yesterday’s interview. I don’t dislike her, just can’t get excited about her.
Is it me or does she look just like Renee Zellweger in the top pic?
CandyKay, I was just about to post the same thing re: The Mirror!
Damn I guess I have to cover that Mirror story. I’ll be on it in a moment. First Sammie has a Kate Hudson story coming up.
I agree Geronimo – I really liked her as Rachel but have never liked her in anything else OR her “interview persona” at all. Something about her is very depressing – and I don’t think it’s because she talked about her breakup. She’s just such a downer, in general, and the manner in which she talks is like she’s trying to downplay everything from A to Z. Her attitude is very “ho hum” which makes her very Ho Hum in turn.
My boyfriend just loves to push my buttons… he feels that I get my way too often so he likes making me feel a bit uncomfortable, but in a fun and teasing way.
He’s got a lot of self confidence; supposing this story is true, JM could be doing the same thing.
Its a little early for a margarita, but what the hell!
I liked her alot in Along Came Polly, but thats it. I didn’t even like Friends very much. But that doesn’t mean that I hate her or wish her any ill will
Exactly, cici, it’s like she’s got no mojo.
Never too early for a margarita in cyber-time, bodhi!
Agree with cici & geronimo. Just couldn’t put my finger on it until I read their posts.
But I did like watching Friends.
Whenever i happened to see an episode of Friends, it was for the guys,(liked Joey and Chandler)or Lisa Kudrow. Aniston’s whinny voice was like chalk on blackboard.
Not sure if the story in the Mirror is true. I tend not to believe tabloids, no matter who the story is about.
Leprechaun was her best role as an actress. (HA!!) This woman CANNOT act. She hangs onto the tails of talented actors, and goes for the ride. Along came Poly was Ben Stiller’s movie; Bruce Almighty was Jim Carey’s movie; the Break-Up was Vice Vaughn’s movie; Marley and me — I think you get the picture. She became an A-lister when she married Brad. That was her claim to fame.
The only film I really liked Aniston in was “The Good Girl.” An low-budget, independent film where she seemed to really become the lead character.
Lord, not just her original nose, her original face – and are those brown eyes I spy? So much for her famous blue eyes.
Cici, I think the word you’re looking for is “boring.” She’s as exciting as a soggy waffle. No, soggy cardboard.
The story’s probably not true, but I can see John watching the movie and laughing. It’s REALLY horrible.
Her face looks very very different. How freaking long has she had that hairstyle?
I never liked her in friends, I actually started liking her more after the Brangelina traingle. Mainly because she is such a strong person to go through that. What I never understand though is why Brangeloonies feel the need to attack her at every turn. She had a pity party- so would any one- she was the one wronged not the other way round. I just wish they would move on from this. Personally my quarrel with Brangelina is not even over the love triangle but over their fake charity and manipulative ways. Its been what? Three years? Four, move on people.
My God, she does like she had some nose work done. Looks better now. I have nothing against plastic surgery. I can see why she had it tweaked again.
“…and are those brown eyes I spy? So much for her famous blue eyes.”
They have never looked blue. I always assumed they were hazel or dark brown.
@CB Rawks – I think they are brown naturally, but wears tinted lenses most of the time. In women’s mags, she’s usually photographed & talked about having blue eyes.
Hey Lola, ONE person on this whole comments thread (besides YOU) mentioned Brad–Kerri. And she mentioned his name once at the very end of her post. No one here mentioned Angelina except YOU.
Pretty weird how that works, huh? So did you just ASSume that people would be discussing A&B in this thread? No, sorry, we’re discussing how boring Jennifer Aniston is and how it’s so obvious she’s had plastic surgery. Get over it.
I like this Sammie323.
Kaiser, yes, her eyes are brown, just like Paris Hilton. Same thing for Pamela Anderson. Bill Blasco pro makeup line used to offer hand painted contact lenses. Donna Mills always sported them. They made her blue-green eyes pure blue w/a larger iris. I suspect the Olsen twins are sporting colored lenses, too. They both got nose jobs at the same time. Smart.
Okay, I’m all for a good Aniston-bash 8) , but seriously? Brown eyes? I find that hard to believe. I’m pretty sure they’re blue.
I keep waiting for JA to fade into the background. She is such a crappy actress. She plays the same character in every film, and just never immerses herself completely in a role. I always say this, but oh well … Even in The Good Girl, she was supposed to be a small-town big-box employee, but damned if Aniston would dye her hair to get rid of the ultra-expensive Hollywood starlet highlights. Girl needs to try something completely different, and play a cheap, crackhead hooker or something.
Here, Granger – I found some pictures of Aniston as a 13 year old, where one and all can quite easily see she’s naturally brown-eyed, a fact she’s very diligently kept hidden from public knowledge since the onset of her career. I mean, nothing’s wrong with either naturally brown eyes or wearing blue designer contacts to alter your look, but why be so shady about keeping your true eyecolour a mystery? Anyway, she looks 100% nicer with her natural brown eyes.

Why is there a picture of jenna bush on the cover of the august 18, 2008 star magazine stating she is having john’s baby?
i’ve always said that aniston changed her look pretty radically as she became famous. jen fans won’t have a bar of it! they INSIST that she’s the natural stunning beauty that she is now…how niave!…even when the proof is staring them in the face! i believe that jen is a very insecure, very neurotic, one dimensional actess, who, underneath all the smoke and mirrors is a very ordinary looking, very boring, and very talentless actress. i think she’d be inclined to be a depressed person (most comedians ARE) well before the brange thing – and her true personality could well be a contributing factor in the marriage breakdown. i also think that she’s been one hellofa lucky girl with attaining the fame and the money that she’s got, all with no substance, and a lot of contacts in the biz (her dad, etc.) one day the truth of the jen aniston sham will surface! in the mean time, good luck to her; it’s too late for a (professional)role change – i can see her playing the cute, funny, sweet miss america role STILL, when she’s 75! she just can’t play anything else, it seems. i just wish that she’d be a ‘real’ person – HERSELF, instead of the ‘blue eyed, blonde, sweet girl’ package presentation’ that is becoming harder to maintain as time goes by (and as she gets older)
