Jennifer Aniston is a ‘foodie’ who guzzles white wine, gin & tonics in Connecticut

One of my favorite things in the world is a Jennifer Aniston fluff piece. Sometimes a media outlet will just make something up, or just fluff up a simple story about “Jennifer Aniston doing X with Y” for four paragraphs. I also think the fluff pieces are important – they reveal the priorities of Jennifer’s team. Jennifer’s publicist still hasn’t confirmed or denied on the record many of the brutal stories about the uncool Bermuda Triangle, but her publicist will greenlight People Magazine’s totally EPIC story about what Jennifer is eating while she films a movie in Connecticut. I guess it’s noteworthy because A) Jennifer still drinks like a fish, which means she isn’t pregnant and B) It’s nice to know that Jennifer is branching out beyond her normal comfort zone of Cobb salads and straight vodka with a SmartWater chaser (I’m assuming). Behold, Jennifer Aniston The Foodie!!

Jennifer Aniston has gotten quite a taste of Connecticut. In town for the month, shooting her latest film on a Stamford set, the actress, 44, has managed to please her palate by visiting a number of popular local restaurants.

On Feb. 2, Aniston had an array of delectable items at eleven14 Kitchen, an American restaurant at J House Greenwich hotel. According to the restaurant, as an appetizer, the star enjoyed the organic green salad with pumpkin seeds and fennel pollen in red wine vinaigrette. For an entrée, she chose the grilled Amish chicken with pearl onions, fingerling potatoes and mushrooms. For dessert, she indulged in almond dacquoise and chocolate mousse topped with gold leaf.

Sipping on gin and tonic, Aniston dressed casually in black jeans and a black and white print button-down shirt.

Valentine’s Day was ever so sweet for the starlet, whose fiancé, Justin Theroux, provided her preferred meal from one of her favorite eateries in the area, Greenwich’s Terra Ristorante Italiano. Aniston’s order consisted of a tre coloré salad (baby salad, arugula, radicchio, shaved Parmesan and balsamic-lemon vinaigrette) and Parmesan-crusted filet of sole.

“The kitchen was closed, and we made it special for them,” the restaurant’s assistant manager Jean Maxine De Givenchy told PEOPLE.

Then a few days later, on Feb. 17, Aniston and Theroux, 41, headed back to New York and finally found some time to relax. In Greenwich Village, the couple and three pals dined at Il Cantinori, where they seemed “very happy, very casual, [and] relaxed [with] lots of laughing,” according to Tayma Gandur, who dined two tables away from the group.

“[It was a] calm, chatty night out with friends,” Gandur says, adding that Aniston seemed very happy and content. There was no PDA, but the engaged pair snuggled and sipped on white wine.

Also during her time in town, Aniston popped into L’Escale, the restaurant attached to the Delamar Greenwich Harbor hotel.

“She was having a cocktail,” De Givenchy, who happened to run into Aniston at the spot, says. “I was surprised because she drank vodka on the rocks with a squeeze of fresh lemon [when she dined at Terra Ristorante Italiano]. At L’Escale, too, she was drinking the same thing. She was very happy, and she had some friends with her [and some people from the movie]. I [heard] her saying, ‘Drink up girl, have fun!'”

[From People]

The common themes of Jennifer’s diet are alcohol and salads, but trust me, she has branched out from the days where she would eat the same Cobb salad for lunch every single day. Now she mixes it up with house salads and fish and (gasp!) potatoes. As for alcohol… we’ve got gin and tonics, Vodka on the rocks with a lemon twist, and lots of white wine. THAT is why she works out so much – because so many of the calories she consumes are empty liquor calories.

    Drinking heavily is the state sport in Connecticut.

  2. bea says:

    OMG – she’s a real foodie – she ate chicken AND fish!

    G&T and white wine are fabulous things to “guzzle”!

  3. Sisi says:

    Sounds like a restaurant advertisement

    • Esmom says:

      Totally. What a bizarre story. Why does People thing people want to read about what she’s eating?

    • P.J. says:

      Yes, sounds like a restaurant ad. The only way someone her size could get away with eating a big meal like that is if she limited her intake to two bites of each dish! You can’t be Hollywood-thin and feast all the time, too.

  4. Shelley says:

    Oh yawn, for trying so hard to make her look like an alcoholic rabbit.

  5. Carolyn says:

    Aniston is starting to look old. There are tons of celebs in their mid-late 40’s looking a heck of a lot better.

    A lot of normal women in that age range look better too.

    Desperate PR ploy to try & keep her in the public’s eye.

    • BeachBelle says:

      Jen Aniston looks better than 95 percent of all women in their mid-40s, and if anyone wants a private life away from the paps it’s her. Her PR team had nothing to do with this dumb story. This is People trying to make news about her. Nothing more.

      • Toot says:

        “Jen Aniston looks better than 95 percent of all women in their mid-40s,”

        😀 Thanks for the laugh!

      • Kim says:

        People the magazine she has done interviews with four times this year not including wedding countdown BS
        story.Did you read the birthday fluff story?

      • Happymom says:

        BeachBelle, this story is coming from her people. It it’s in People, it’s sanctioned by JA. That’s how it works.

      • joyce says:

        Thanks for the laugh. Did you see her face in photo #2. Thanks to her stylist and hair dresser. They manage to make her look decent. I don’t think she has a great body comparing her to women who are in their 40s and had children. However, her body does look better than most 30 year old. But, that’s also thanks to her trainer. She has the money to hire personal trainer to work whenever she wants. Unlike most women who have to work everyday and not have the money to hire personal trainer to keep their body fit.

      • Gemini08 says:

        Please speak for the women in their 40’s that YOU know. I know plenty who look just as good and even better then Jennifer. And bear in mind that Jen was a heavy smoker for years and has relied HEAVILY on botox to keep up her looks.

      • Jen34 says:

        Her body is amazing, but her face? Unless she looks better than she photographs, she looks every bit her age.

      • Emma says:

        She probably does look younger than she photographs though. I know many women who do, myself included. Cameras are very, very hard on a woman after 40.

      • Marie Antoinette Jr. says:

        I agree with you BeachBelle. She does look better than most 40+ year old women. It takes a lot of money, time, and effort to keep yourself up like she does after 40. For the life of me I can never understand why people won’t at least give her that!

      • Case says:

        Bahaha! Oh I WILL say what other people will NOT. Jennifer Aniston is UGLY. No amount of nipple twerking, asss showing, sexaaay posing of her yoga toned bod, will ever change the fact that her mug, is fug. Period. So you have to always, ALWAYS start from there, when you’re discussing Aniston’s ‘looks,’ IF you’re being honest. There’s a reason why people were saying of 70 yr old Babs on Oscar night that she was a dead ringer for Aniston. By the way, I think Streisand, especially when she was younger, is WAY more attractive than Aniston. OK, continue. lol

      • lulu says:

        Now that’s hilarious, Aniston and her PR team are the ones that gave this non-story to Peeps, gotta keep the old gal relevant, even if it means revealing she’s an alcoholic.

    • jen d. says:

      Yeah, she is starting to show her age a little. I still think she looks great, but her face is changing. I don’t even think she looks bad, just different.

      I think she’d look a lot better if she changed up her style a little. She still styles herself the same way she did ten years ago, so you can really see the difference in her face. If she cut her hair, or even wore it up, I don’t think the changes would be as obvious. I don’t know much about makeup, but it feels like she even does that the same way…

    • LOL says:

      BeachBelle sorry but you are delusional.

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      I suspect it is the restaurants, not Aniston, who spurred this story. You can’t buy that kind of publicity.

      • Hwoodie says:

        It’s well known that Aniston’s PR flack Stephen Huvane provides hand delivered memos about Aniston to People Mag. People is the go to mouthpiece to the stars. They do it because they have relationships to celebrity PR agents/agencies, and it gives them first look/access to other people in their stable, or milestone events that might enable them to move issues. For instance, when Aniston and her PR guy wanted to publicize her relationship with John Mayer, they’d get People to run a fluff piece about John and Jen at dinner with her Dad John Aniston – same deal, what they ate, what they looked like, blah blah. It’s purpose was to show Aniston getting serious, and to detract from whatever they wanted to detract from (usually something Brangelina related). This latest foodie piece, of a ‘socializing’ Jen is due to an item that came out of her set in CT that basically she was a b*tch on wheels and not nice to fans or other people on the crew.It’s how she’s operated for all of her career. Classic example of a PR flack basically doing the heavy lifting, orchestrating, manipulating media, planting things, and creating an image. Her fame ain’t based on merit. Her personal life, on account of her split from you know who – has driven her fame/notoriety for the last 8 years.

    • Me Three says:

      Why is it that every story about a woman ends up with people dumping on her appearance?

      Yes, she looks older than she did 10 years ago. She’s older. Is that a crime? I wonder if you feel the same way about the male celebs who are growing older?

      To suggest that this woman doesn’t look good, and not just for her age, seems petty to me. Yes, she has a trainer and probably spends my annual salary in a month on facials and skin care, but she does look good!

      I don’t care for most of her movies but the constant chorus of “she’s getting old” about every female star who isn’t in their 20’s seems a little sad to me. We all get older, or we hope we will, and I wonder how you will feel when you’re 43 and look in the mirror?

  6. Toot says:

    How was People able to find someone to interview who was at another table? I understand someone working there giving an interview , but did this other woman contact People just to tell them that nonsense?

    I’m out! Dumb ass story.

    • Tabby says:

      She tweeted her sighting and a People reporter saw it and messaged her.

      • Hwoodie says:

        Please, Rachel Green of the village 90s Hairdo ain’t Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson – no writing staff at any publication is breathlessly awaiting a dinner hour tweet of what Aniston is clinking in her glass in some CT restaurant, then going on a wild goose chase to track down those twitter minions who will breathlessly reveal. hahahaha

    • mercy says:

      I don’t know about Aniston or this (non-) story, but what Tabby said happens all the time these days. People and other rags are searching social networking sites for celeb sightings and messaging the person asking for more details. If a specific location is mentioned, they contact the employees. Restaurants and businesses love it — free publicity for them.

  7. crab says:

    She looks great! Very pretty and happy!

  8. Marjalane says:

    I’m glad JA has the $$ for some high end face work, because alcohol doesn’t do a thing for your looks after 30!

    • Miss Jupitero says:

      +1 my dear. I know I cannot even think of drinking the ways did in my twenties at my age. It would all show in the worst possible ways.

  9. Faye says:

    Guess I’m not a foodie, because this -“organic green salad with pumpkin seeds and fennel pollen in red wine vinaigrette” – is the vilest-sounding thing I’ve ever heard of (except maybe the greens part). Pumpkin seeds and fennel pollen, really? Going back to my little corner to have my plebian baby spinach, Romaine lettuce, and tomato salad now :).

    • Lolly says:

      I know right? That whole menu sounds like a study in pretentiousness. Gold leaf? Gimme a break

    • spinner says:

      @ Faye

      It is delicious. Trust. Yours sounds very good too, by the way. Save me a bite.

    • Gemini08 says:

      Don’t worry: Jen isn’t a foodie either. I don’t know how variations on the salad make you a “foodie”.

  10. Al says:

    What is fennel pollen?

    • Esmom says:

      Sounds like pollen that was stuck to fennel blossoms. I love fennel but this doesn’t sounds appealing — or even flavorful — at all. Pretentious food BS.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      It DOES sound pretentious but fennel pollen is a delicious spice–very flavorful, sort of like a curry.

  11. Arock says:

    I believe a glass of Chardonnay and a gin and tonic are on the state flag.

  12. chloe says:

    Okay so these are like four or five occasions that she went out in how many months in which she had a cocktail and now she’s an alcoholic, these could be the only times she drinks, I don’t drink at home, but I guarantee if I go out with my husband and friends I’m going to enjoy a cocktail. Some of these stories are ridiculous, it’s sounds like some local restaurants are star-struck and blabbing about their clientele on the internet. And no I’m not a fan of hers, she plays the same character in every movie.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      Now, now … let’s not forget those times she’s slurred her way through presentations at events.

    • Amory says:

      I think the story was meant to convey that she is not pregnant, not that she’s an alcoholic. She’s never been shy about saying that she gets her drink on.

      • Sherry says:

        Not only is she not pregnant, but I get the feeling she’s saying, “I’m not trying to get pregnant.” I think back to when I was actively trying, I started taking vitamins and stopped drinking even caffeine “just in case.”

        The fact that she’s in her mid-40’s now and is not shutting off the alcohol, tells me she has no intention of getting pregnant. Evah!

      • P.J. says:

        Pregnant at 45? That would mean delivering at 46. I think that train has left the station.

  13. Kim says:

    Oh darn her fans just said her man was rubbing her baby bump at Oscars.How will the tabloids spin this,one has headline Shotgun Wedding LOL.Jen signed exclusive deal w People mag so there will more stories like this until the Wedding of the Century.

  14. Lolly says:

    Why is a middleaged woman still being described as a starlet? She needs to work on winning serious awards so she can be described as “the oscar winning actress”. Starlet is just so..embarassing

    • spinner says:

      I think that most Hollywood Actors know they are never going to win an Oscar. They are just happy to be successful & participating in their chosen profession. Just like all the employees at a corporation know that they are never going to be CEO. They are just happy to working in their chosen environment.

  15. Sandra says:

    You have to actually eat to be a foodie, not just stare at the pretty, fatty, carby dishes in longing.

    I know that lots of people think she’s a freaking Labrador puppy of sunshine and friendliness, but to me she seems mean, pinched and unhappy, and I swear that’s because she’s been starving for the better part of three decades now.

    Foodie. *snort*

    • Amory says:

      Agreed. Foodies actually enjoy food. Doesn’t seem like she’s enjoyed food in decades. I suspect that none of them in Hollywood enjoy food.

      • RHONYC says:

        you are preaching to the converted.

        i just picked up the juiciest looking grass-fed Australian tenderloin steaks yesterday.

        mmmmm…can’t wait to eat those suckers with some Peter Luger steak sauce tonight! 😛

      • spinner says:

        @ RHONYC

        What time is dinner — or should you make it a late supper?? Sounds delicious. I just made fillets the other night with my famous red wine & shallot sauce. OMG…it was wonderful.

  16. Shira says:

    Ooh, that second picture is rough.

    • Lauren says:

      Jen still looks good for her age. I think of how scary Nicole Kidman is with her rubbery pale face, and Jen still looks better despite all her smoking & drinking. Justin is hot too..folks are so mean to him. JT has an amazing physique, and his upper body is always shredded & muscular.

      • Bishy says:

        For average to plain girls like Jen, age is the great equalizer, because at a certain point the beauties either start tweaking too much and no longer look like themselves anyway (see Kidman) or just the aging process does it work…while homelies, might get some work done via new procedures (lasers to clear up bad skin which Aniston had, rhinoplasty – at least 4 nose jobs, filler – which Aniston is a fan of) which actually improves on their looks. Thus, even though they’ve aged, they’ve made themselves prettier than they were at the outset. So now the beauty (Kidman) and Aniston are more on an equal footing…to some. I personally think Aniston could tweak til the cows come home, and Kidman will still have it over her.

  17. Granger says:

    “THAT is why she works out so much – because so many of the calories she consumes are empty liquor calories.”

    I don’t think she works out as much as she used to. She still looks great, but not as toned, and certainly not as thin. In fact — and I can’t believe I’m saying this, because I’ve never been a fan… But I think she’s become one of the more “realistic” female celebs out there. She seems to enjoy going out with friends for a good meal and a couple of drinks, but she maintains a pretty healthy-looking weight (instead of becoming a bone rack, like far too many of my favourite over-40 stars — Naomi Watts, for one).

  18. DenG says:

    Since Diane Lane and Josh Brolin are over, now is Aniston’s chance to slide closer to her idol Streisand. Jump on it!

    • Bishy says:

      Idol? Hmm. Don’t let that fawning (hysterical) pictorial Aniston did claiming to worship Streisand fool you, that was her apology for essentially dissing Streisand (via reaction) back in the early 2000s when someone told her she looked like her. Watch this old interview where she disses Babs – it’s priceless. It starts at the 2:20 mark http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVNVhiYk8uw This is when I first realized she’s an ish.

  19. spinner says:

    Of course she’s a foodie — that’s why she looks healthy & fit. This is not a woman who avoids eat, drink & be merry — and it shows.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Hey Spinner 🙂
      I don’t know why everyone is insinuating that to be a foodie you have to be fat. I consider myself a bit of a foodie (I hate that term though-makes me sound like an annoying Yelp commenter) but I’m not overweight. Most of the best restaurants focus on food, not gigantic portions. In fact, leaving the diner satiated but not full or bloated is something the best restaurants strive for.

      • spinner says:

        Hi Kitten…I consider myself a foodie & I am not overweight. I agree with you about fine dining. It is all about the quality of the meal itself…not the quantity. I like feeling sated — not bloated. My husband & I cook a nice dinner together every single day & we have a ball doing it. We pop that bottle of wine & get busy. We also enjoy fine dining occasionally, but if you eat out…the missing ingredient is love.

  20. Paloma says:

    What a fluff piece.

  21. Nick says:

    After reading the countless stories about her I always come to the same conclusion – that she cannot be a fun person. Maybe she’s a riot to her pretentious H’wood clique but outsiders would find her intolerable. Which is ironic because she tries to portray herself as the everywoman H’wood star.

    • Alicia says:

      No need to worry your pretty little head… I have it on good authority, that you in fact, have no worries as, you will never have the opportunity to HANG with her!

  22. The Original G says:

    In other words…she’s a happy drunk.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      THIS, to the 10th power!

      I can’t believe posters here are glossing over the ‘straight vodka’ drinks, trying desperately to turn them into a few cocktails. The woman drinks straight vodka and margarita’s. How many more times can she slur her way through events before people will finally admit to this??

      This makes me think a HUGE story is about to hit the tabloids about Jen being a drunk or having a serious drinking problem.

      (Sigh) But if Jen-Jen ever goes to rehab it will be just another thing her Hens pin on Brad.

      • Penny says:

        Margaritas, you say?! Alert Betty Ford!

      • spinner says:

        @ Emma

        Stop it. Brad has nothing to do with this post.

      • blonde on the dock says:

        OMG you are getting desperate. She wouldnt look the way she does if she drank and smoked all of the time. It’s obvious she takes very good care of herself.

      • LOL says:

        blonde on the dock sorry but you are getting desperate. Its obvious by her looks that she is an extemely heavy drinker.

      • Sweet Dee says:

        Heaven forbid she cut calories by eliminating the mixer.

        Anyway, I doubt she goes to rehab before her puffy best friend Chelsea Handler. You know, people all over the world make a habit of drinking every day and it never develops into a problem. It’s when you get drunk every day that spells rehab.

        She’s just an annoying old hasbeen who wants to do the least bit necessary to stay relevant. According to People, it’s working. Baffles the sh*t outta me.

      • Runs with Scissors says:

        Chelsea is just gross.

    • Lady D says:

      “In other words…she’s a happy drunk.”
      You say that like it’s a bad thing.

  23. Mac says:

    It’s not as if she was swinging from the chandeliers or flew into a gin induced rage.

    Just sounds like Jenn has a healthy appetite and enjoys a few drinks when she goes out.

    • Alicia says:

      Absolutely!!! You just have to pity all the Dr. Drew’s on this thread. I wonder when they received their degrees?

  24. Suze says:

    Maybe this piece was just a way to spread the word – no, this lady is definitely NOT pregnant.

    The descriptions of the food made me laugh. Yes – celebrities are just like us. So down to earth!

    And, honestly, at 44, drinking “straight vodka” is a bit eyebrow-raising.

    • HT says:

      Well,her glass of vodka probably cost more than the entire bottle of hooch that 20-something kids chug down, and it’s not like she was doing shots. As I’m getting older, I find my taste for any mixer other than club soda has really gone away, and the *really* good, top shelf are pretty great on their own. But then again, I grew up watching AbFab so what do I know.

  25. Zorbitor says:

    and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much

  26. tia says:

    Connecticut is filled with super successful people who commute into Manhattan for work. They get the beauty of New England along with the awesomeness of Manhattan. So along with success comes stress at times and along with that comes (de-stressing) with alcohol. It is all good, those people have amazing lives, so don’t feel bad for them.. lol

    • Kim says:

      Connecticut also has a lot of really great restaurants – but mostly not in Greenwich. She should branch out!

      • Janet says:

        She should go to Mystic and get some seafood, but Greenwich is probably all she knows.

  27. Sweet Dee says:

    My grandma taught me that the best way to avoid hangovers is to drink vodka and water. It’s also the lowest calorie drink for if you’re trying to lose weight. She has hers flat with lemon, I have mine sparkling with lime. I’m not a fan of JA, but it seems to me like her drink choices are made this way, so I’m not begrudging her for it. I just don’t understand why it’s written about by People?

    • Janet says:

      What else can they write about her? There is nothing else but hair, booze, hair, diet, hair, Mexico, hair.

      • Sweet Dee says:

        …nothing. Which would be a breath of fresh air, eh?

        I just don’t know anyone who cares about her anymore. Who are they selling these magazines to? My mom in the nineties?

      • valleymiss says:

        And for Angie all we heard about through her 20s was knife play, kinky sex, and rebelliousness. Then in her 30s it’s been babies, adoption, Montenegro Style, and “how I could have died from heroin.” EVERY star has their narrative.

        I will say, Jen needs to quit the drinking and tanning (and smoking). If she cares about her skin and her overall health, that is. I don’t understand how someone can drink so often, but also talk about the healing properties of yoga. Seems like a contradictory lifestyle.

      • Sweet Dee says:

        Don’t you know, valleymiss? It’s just a balancing act.

        If you do enough yoga, the alcohol will bypass your liver and cause no damage at all to your intestines.

        Also–little known fact–skin damage from tanning is reversely proportional to how many salads with fennel pollen you eat. True story.

        Yet again, Jennifer Aniston has unlocked the secrets to the universe for us. Ladies, let us bow down and thank her for her presence on our planet.

      • The Original G says:

        I thought it was the Aveeno?

  28. MST says:

    @Tia — what you’re saying may be true, but I can’t stand this eastern seaboard because it’s Too Damn Cold. Its March here (Philadelphia) and the thermometer hasn’t cracked 40. I just can’t stand living where it’s cold six months of the year — I’m always, always sick. I would rather live in a ranch house in Florida, pink flamingos, sinkholes and all, than in a mansion in CT or Manhattan!

  29. skuddles says:

    Well the boozing should squash any pregnancy rumors… at least for a minute or two.

  30. KellyinSeattle says:

    Who cares what she eats? I, for one, do not worship her….and I think she’s looking rough…she’s NOT better than 95% of the women in their mid-forties. I see prettier women everyday.

    • blonde on the dock says:

      I think she looks better than 95% of women in their forties or thirties for that matter. But I see prettier women all of the time. One could say that about most of Hollywood though. Just because they work in Hollywood doesnt make them any better looking.

      • WTF says:

        Jen looks better than 95% of women in their 40’s or 30’s? Thanks for the laugh. I understand you are a fan of this woman…but your comments are sounding somewhat delusional.

      • spinner says:

        @ blonde on the dock

        I understand what you are saying & I agree with you.

    • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

      KellyinSeattle: Spot on! I agree with you.

  31. The Original G says:

    Wow. This is hilarious. It’s a light story and there’s no need to get so defensive over the light ribbing.

  32. OhMyGawh says:

    Why are we so tough on women when they age? I don’t understand it. I think Jennifer looks fine.

  33. apsutter says:

    Bitch, please…if I had her money and lifestyle I would show her what a foodie is!! Doesn’t she always seem like the most boring woman on the planet? She has the world at her fingertips and all she does is workout, eat salads, and drink vodka and other clear liquors. She could at least spice it up and drink fun something. I’m thinking she’s a creature of very specific habit.

  34. Madriani's Girl says:

    Dear Jennifer:

    We have restaurants in towns besides Greenwich. Better ones than in Greenwich, too.

    Whatever,
    Connecticut

    • Sweet Dee says:

      Dear Connecticut,

      Well that’s good news! I’ll have Justin find them and deliver it to me. I’m too drunk to drive right now.

      Don’t you feel lucky I’m here, though? How cool is that for all you little Connecticuttians? Is that what you call yourselves? Who cares! Hic.

      XO JA XO

    For a woman that so many describe as “boring” and “bland” she sure evokes a strong reaction from people huh?

    Even an incredibly snoozetastic story like this has people up in arms.

    THIS is why stories are written about Aniston. 80 commenmts about what this chick eats for lunch…..

    • Mira says:

      TOK: Exactly! I’d like to understand why some celebrities (Stewart, Aniston etc) are more polarizing than others.

      • EasyPeezy says:

        Oh it’s easy. Using your two examples (Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Aniston), they are ‘polarizing,’ or let’s call them ‘lightening rods,’ for VASTLY different reasons. 1)Kristen Stewart because she is an integral part of a intensely followed love story, both onscreen and off, which involves Robert Pattinson. The women that followed him brethlessly for 4 years and beyond, were just as insane as the Bieliebers of today, nothing and no one, was good enough for their Edward Cullen. Hence she gets a lot of hate from the haters, and a lot of ship from the shippers. But everyone always has something to say, because they’re wholly invested in the man that’s in her life, period. If Stewart was with a no name highschool boyfriend, no one would care. Trust.

        2)Anniston – If Anniston has anything in common with Stewart, it’s that last bit. If not for Brad Pitt, no one would curr. Trust. Brad Pitt, essentially leaving her for Angelina Jolie, sexy, beautiful Oscar winner, essentially granted Aniston all of the bitter Betty vindictive women under the sun. She didn’t get them by being the greatest actress ever, or the most beautiful – sure people liked her ensemble sit-com and the 90s haircut she had (but only because when they got it, they looked much better than Anniston) — and therein lies the continued interest in Jen’s life. She’s relatable in that she’s average. When Brad left her, he left us all. It doesn’t matter that he was gonna leave her anyway, that they were pretty rocky…he went after Angelina next, and juxtaposed to Jen, it made every woman with thin lips, a big schnoz 40+, just RAGE. So what you’ve gotten in the interim, is every one of THOSE women, wishin’ and a hopin’ and a prayin’ that Jen somehow, someway, ONE-UPS the Jolie Pitts, and becomes Jen, Happy at Last – take THAT Brad Pitt! Yes, Aniston should cut the entire Jolie Pitt family a check, because had she been married to David Schwimmer, we wouldn’t be talking or posting on message boards about her. It’s why each date, each sighting of each ‘new guy,’ becomes the POTENTIAL to become Brangelina’s rival, and her savior from loser-in-lovedom..the chance to be the living embodiment, of this ‘NAH! Take THAT Brad and Angie!’ hysterical and delusional though that may be. Consequently, even the INTEREST in Aniston, becomes the means in which we shore her up against her ever present rival, and the ever present hurt that her ‘fans’ (which aren’t actually her fans, but Brangelina haters) will never get over. They will swear up and down nothing is about them, but believe me, it still is. It comes out, someone always drops the ball and gets in a dig, sometimes it’s Aniston’s own pittbull new besties, like Chelsea Handler, proving to us all, that she’s STILL living her life, playing defense to Brangelina. Made ultimately more sad and pathetic since they don’t even know she’s alive.

        @ EasyPeezy–

        Boom! Nice. You summed it up quite well while calling out the fake Jenhens. Here’s the challenge—there are not enough doctor office couches in the world to cure or stop this neurosis that Aniston has of coattailling Brad’s name—EVEN on the fortnight of getting married to “the man who really truly” loves her. Notice the article above mentions Brad’s name—so unnecessary.

        Let’s practice this:

        Go back to every single People article… or ANY written interview and count the many times Brad’s (or Angie’s)name is mentioned since 2005. How many exist that don’t mention the marriage or Brad? You should have only one or two articles left. Next, reread that article. Yeah, I know, try not to yawn, become annoyed with meaningless gibberish or fall asleep. Finish the damn thing… and see how interested you are in reading another Jen article. Without the Brad references the thrill (and hence, Jen’s ability to re-invent herself post-divorce) is gone.

        I so want this biddy to marry Squiggy ASAP and adopt some more dogs. Then I wanna see how many times Brad is referenced WHILE she is Mrs. Justin Theroux. LOL!!!!

    BOOZE AND CIGS WILL DO IT! THANK-GOD SHE HAS A PLASTIC SURGEON ON HAND.SHE WILL NEVER HAVE KIDS,SHE NEVER WANTED THEM.

  37. babyturnsblue says:

    From the neck down she looks fantastic for mid 40’s. Anyone who says otherwise needs to post a photo of their fabulous physique before dumping on a woman who obviously works out/eats right. Despite chefs/trainers you still have to credit her for the discipline it takes to get there and maintain that body,

    Face wise I think she falls in the middle. Some in her age bracket look better and some worse. At least she’s not pumping her face with tons of botox and fillers and lying about it like Nicole Kidman.

    • DrPUHleeze says:

      I work in plastic surgery. Have you compared photos of her from Friends era to now? She’s not only had her chin re-aligned, but she’s admitted to botox and fillers, and just going on older pics of her she uses them heavily around the mouth and the nasal labial fold area. She used to have the exact same nose brackets as Dustin Hoffman (and his nose for that matter – she’s had at least 3 nose jobs), and now they’ve been blown out by her cheek fillers and injectables. She looked painfully swollen in that dog movie. Open your eyes.

      • babyturnsblue says:

        Did I say that she has not had any work done? NO.

        In the photos I have seen she has wrinkles, she is able to make expressions and in general doesn’t look like her face is carved out of wax and totally expressionless like Kidman, Meg Ryan, Daryl Hanna….blah blah blah

  38. norm says:

    I’m almost 50 and use my age to get more respect from students who always say, no way, no way. Most people think I’m in my late 20’s, 30 or so, therefor in comparison to her I think she does look 40. I think it’s in the eyes, not sure, and it’s not wrinkles either. She just has a matured face. Still pretty regardless, but she doesn’t look younger then 40. Something tells me that even though I look young now it could also catch up with me overnight, and who cares. I don’t…I also seem to look younger without the make-up which I have embraced. I wonder if she would look younger also if she. A fesh face with only lipstick looks fresh. To me it does…As long as she’s happy and healthy the tired look is fine. I can’t wait to look older so I’m less approachable.

  39. Runs with Scissors says:

    I actually agree, I think she probably does drink pretty heavily, but I don’t think having vodka with lemon means she has a serious drinking problem at all. We don’t know if she sipped one all night, perhaps.

    That said, could you imagine the crazy OTT comments if this were a certain other person out having straight up vodka? Child services would probably be called in.

  40. Snowpea says:

    I don’t understand what is so wrong with a woman who likes to drink vodka, sunbathe, read trashy novels and do yoga? Why do y’all trash her so much? This is a genuine question!

    I have a soft spot for JA. I reckon her and would have a blast. She seems like a good egg. So what if she’s not traipsing through the Sudan, highlighting important social issues?

    She’s just a simple lass who wants to have a nice life. What the hell is so wrong with that? (As a single mum who flogs her guts out to pay rent and buy food and put fuel in the car, I WOULD LOVE HER LIFE!)

  41. floretta50 says:

    Hard to believe that grown, rich, famous people play silly games, such as touching and patting your fiance’s stomach as to portray the fact that there is a baby on board. But Jen and Justin did at the Oscar’s. Her loyal fans deserve it! Later on inside of the Vanity Fair party as was seen on a popular celebrity show there she was inside downing martini’s at the bar. At the end the person said there goes the baby rumors! JA probably gived Justin his orders before leaving home, what a couple! America’s sweet heart, no wonder Brad Pitt and others quickly left, she probably comes off as this nice person and then when they get to know her and the games she plays they run away. Poor Justin won’t because as you can see he is the only one that is not loaded with money.

  42. Original Me says:

    What if she had married Tate Donovan instead of Brad Pitt? WHAT IF?
