For New Year’s, Jennifer Aniston made her now annual trip down to Cabo with an assortment of friends. Not only did Jennifer’s fiancé Justin Theroux come along, but Jennifer reconnected with Courteney Cox, her one-time bestie. I wouldn’t be so bold as to say that CC and Aniston hated each other for much of the past two to three years, but there was a noticeable “cooling off” of their friendship, coincidentally at the same time as Aniston’s friendship with Chelsea Handler really began to blossom. I always thought that the cooling off period was more due to Chelsea Handler rather than Justin Theroux, but Star claims that it was about Justin:
Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are BFFs once again after finally ending their feud over Jen’s romance with Justin Theroux.
“There was a lot of tension between Jen and Courteney after Jen got engaged to Justin,” explains an insider. “Courteney felt like Jen just walked away from the friendship.”
But Jen’s recent wedding woes- namely that she hasn’t had one yet – prompted her to patch things up with her best buddy.
“Shortly before Thanksgiving, Jen reached out to Courteney and apologized for pulling away,” the spy reveals. “She opened up that she and Justin were having major problems – she thought they’d be married by the end of the year, and instead they’d grown apart.”
The insider says that Court “was an ear to listen” and that their A-list friendship “picked up right where it left off!”
Now Jen has realized that her fiancé is no substitute for her best friend.
“Jen knows that she needs good people back in her life… her goal for the trip was to mend her wounds with both Courteney and Justin.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Ah, so Jennifer made up her mind to reconnect with Court when Aniston needed a shoulder to cry on. That seems to be their dynamic through the years – when Aniston has been a mess, she goes to Courteney. When everything’s great in Aniston’s life, she ignores Courteney. When Courteney is a mess (like, after Courteney’s marriage was ending), Jennifer was nowhere to be found. I hate women like that. Female friendships should be through thick and thin, especially for someone like Aniston who loudly prides herself on her Goddess Circle.

Probably all bs. Friendships go through phases. They may’ve been ok with each other all along.
Exactly. Some people think that they always know better.

I wouldn’t “hate women like that” if I didn’t know them. Chill, Kaiser, it’s tabloid gossip.
What about blind items that say the reason their friendship cooled off is because Aniston reached out to David Arquette to help him in his downward spiral during the divorce? Those blinds say Courtney was offended Aniston broke “girl code” for being more supportive to her husband and not her. Point is, we don’t know what really happened and shouldn’t “hate” anyone as a result. Courtney is grown and can choose to love whoever she wants in friendship or otherwise.
@ McCraw
Well said. This is what I read as well. When David went on his downward spiral, Jennifer tried to help him. She encouraged him to seek help & Courtney called “girl code.” They’ve been friends for a long time & it appears they have settled whatever differences they may have had behind closed doors.
I thought we established that blind items were bs…..what makes this one any different?
Exactly VG – blind items are apparently bs whenever it’s something negative but when it is something positive about Jennifer it’s all true. That’s the hypocrisy these people live by.
These people? The point is not about the validity of blind items or tabloid gossip. It’s about the fact that the author of THIS article stated she “hates women like her”, meaning she hates Jennifer Aniston, because of baseless rumors. If we’re catching feelings as strong as hate over what you correctly call BS tabloid articles, then why not take into account the BS blind items that tell a completely different story? There’s different stories out there about why their friendship cooled off. Having hateful feelings against Aniston because of Star Magazine is a joke.
MCraw
Okay, but Kaiser said that she didn’t liked that when Courtney’s marrriage went south, Jennifer was nowhere to be found i.e. a selfish friend–that’s Kaiser take on the situation. But a person can’t deny that that isn’t true–that Jennifer was the third wheel in David and Courtney’s marriage, after her divorce, but when Courtney was getting divorced, Jennifer was gone. Now it’s personal opinion, whether or not the ‘split’ was due to Jennifer’s decision, or Courtney’s decision. But I’m not seeing how bs tabloids factor into it–it’s Kaiser take on it. Obviously yours is different–based on your perception of Jennifer, and of Courtney. I’m just not sure how quoting a blind item does anything.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Whatever happened to her magical Goddess Circle?
Agreed — and I actually remember them being quite tight through Cox’s divorce (Jen being very present with Cox’s daughter, vacations, etc.) That seems a bit unfair, although slightly predictable for a site that continuously shows bias against Aniston. Whatevs.
Their estrangement was over Josh Hopkins. JA slept with him, he blew her off and then CC dated him for almost a year.
Whatever Courtney Cox has been doing to her face makes me irrationally angry. I have a beautiful friend who looks quite a bit like Courtney. Dark hair, blue eyes, fair skin, small features. My friend still looks beautiful (she is 40+) and Courtney overfilled, over botoxed her lovely face.
You need to find a clip of Courtney’s interview with Ellen,she hooked Ellen up with her facialist( my term).Ellen was going on incessantly about how great Courtney looks.
I complete agree – Courteney was the best looking in Friends and now she has really ruined her face. Why?
I do feel sort of weird commenting on someone I don’t know -but anyway, I do remember some interview with Courtney Cox where she talked about choosing her battles, and she chose to have a slim body with a gaunt face. She could keep a higher fat percentage and fuller face. But if you look hard you can tell she is slightly hippy so if she kept herself heavier it would go to her bottom area. I feel for her, being in a career that your figure counts so much must sux. So I guess it’s fillers for her. I think it looks harsh but it’s her choice.
Don’t really care…but oh. My. God. Courtney Cox’s face!!!! I saw some pics in the dailymail the other day and it was tragic. She was a beautiful women. I had no idea she was as insecure as all rose other LA broads. Sad.
Her face looks painful, like she can’t move it. And God–when she talks!! She looks like someone beat her up in the face i.e. it’s all swollen and waxy, so she can’t really move anything. She was so gorgeous.
Whenever I see a promo for that TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE show, Cougar Town, I think “WTF has Cox done?!”
she looks like a caricature of her formerly beautiful self.
What’s funny is that TBS (who runs Cougar Town) also shows reruns of Friends, and they air ads for CT during Friends. and you can see, almost side-by-side, how badly she’s mangled her face.
Have you watched Cougar Town? I think it’s actually kind of funny, it’s definitely not TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE.
Years ago on the Drew Carey Show I noticed Christa Miller’s pretty face was changing and by Scrubs I thought “Holy Hell, what is that woman doing to herself?!?!” It appears CC has taken a page from her book and perhaps using Christa as a litmus of “normal.” It’s come up over and over again by us average American women in our 40’s that this DOES NOT make celebrities look younger appearing or more attractive. It makes them look freakish and expensively altered for the worse. It’s a culture or community of injectable-happy people and they support one another like addicts. Oh, you’re doing it too…So sad.
Bobbisue…you are so right about Christa Miller.
to Grant: yes, I have watched it, and I stand by my assessment/opinion. I don’t find it funny in the least. No judgement for those that do enjoy it, tho…I’m sure there are plenty of things I watch that others might think are crap.
and yes, Bobbisue, Miller is another one whose (current) face makes me cringe.
@ Grant .. I watch it and get a chuckle, it’s not great tv but I watch if it’s on
Meh–I think it was a combo of Chelsea Handler, that bs with Justin and Heidi, and Courtney going through her own divorce. I remember Courtney said that she was tired of focusing on everyone else’s problems–she wanted to focus on herself. I don’t think it’s too much to say that Jennifer was part of that. Didn’t David say that there were three people in their marriage? So I think Courtney cut the cords, and when SHE was ready to hang out again, on the regular, that’s when it happened. Which is probably why Jennifer and Chelsea were/are besties since summer 2010. Courtney didn’t want to hang out like she used to.
There was heavy shading Both Courtney and David did to Jennifer. And there were numerous reports that when David slipped back into the bottle he vented to sympathetic bar flies about how Jennifer was the needy 3rd wheel in his marriage.
Yes friendships go through highs and lows, but this is believable that Aniston is self involved.
Courtney has always seemed like a good friend to Aniston. Almost maternal. From the outside, this friendship seems lopsided. Courtney props Aniston up whenever she needs it. Aniston invites her to vacation in Cabo, courtesy of SmartWater.
I don’t think I’ve asked before–have you ever tasted SmartWater??? Hand to God–that water tastes so flat, it’s ridiculous. I’ve never tasted water like that—it’s on par with my sink water (that no one in the house drinks because it’s disgusting). It’s like they stripped all the vitamins and minerals out of the water…..gross.
And I’m not just saying this because JA reps it–it is honestly disgusting, and I wouldn’t pay for a single bottle.
Virgilia
That’s exactly what they did!
Smartwater says on the bottle it returns water to it’s purest form. Steam.
For those who don’t know it’s just distilled water. They’ve stripped it of salts and minerals and that’s not great for you to drink. So they add “electrolites” (salts and minerals) back into the water. It is controlled amounts, but the water tastes worse than before and it’s fairly pricey for faucet water. Not to mention it’s got a terrible taste to it.
If I need a bottle of water I’m sticking to poland springs. Sure it’s basically tap water most people in Maine flush their toilets with, but it’s damn pure and tastes fine.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever tasted the ridiculously named SmartWater. I’m certain I’ve never bought it. I’m not a fan of bottled water. More precisely, the bottles. I’m certain that SmartWater foots the bill for the Cabo celebrity vacations. They are Aniston’s working/networking vacations. Nothing wrong with it, many professions do this. It’s just naive to assume these are real friendships, with the exception of Courtney and, maybe, Handler.
I refuse to pay for water other than what I pay to the city for my tap water. I might buy Perrier or another mineral water, but not flat water. That’s why god invented water filters.
Bluhare
I won smartwater in post race raffle. I think it’s $1.50 to the average $1 a bottle. And I would also avoid paying, but sometimes you’re just dehydrated and without a bottle or bottle with filter.. Atleast poland springs uses as little plastic as possible and a large percentage of the company goes to preservation work.
I’ve never understood why people complain about Smartwater being flat. Its water, not soda, its SUPPOSED to be flat! Plain water is tasteless and flat with NO ADDITIVES. I think people confuse manufactured sparkling clear bs with chemicals, salt and additives as water. Water is tasteless, odourless, colourless and flat. If it isn’t, its soda water. Not real water.
You are right water is water. It’s supposed to be “flat”, BUT all depends of where the water comes from and what minerals has within. In my country we have many springs in many cities. I have tasted some and due to the region the taste changes. The one that comes from the rocky mountains it’s…..fantastic, full of oxygen and it’s good for the digestion, Other kind of water may seem “heavy” or tasteless to me. I try to avoid water in bottles unless i am on the road. And yes some have fancy names and formulas written all over but more often than not they taste strange.
Jen looks amazing in the top pic.
That photo of JA during the friends years is not flattering at all.
Yep that picture clearly shows how much work she has had done..
Yep. The old photo of Aniston and Cox is startling. So much work has been done to their faces. Cox was a beautiful woman desperate to hold onto her youth. Aniston was a cute woman desperate to be beautiful.
That pic totally caught me off guard! I can’t believe how much work she’s had done. Granted, she’s had little nips and tucks here and there so it has never been a total shocker and the end result is (somewhat) natural looking – but wow, its’ a big shocker if you compare a before/after.
I used to have a friend like that. She was a little princess who thought that everything should always be about her. I finally found the strength to cut the cords and it felt amazing! Toxic relationships and lop sided friendships can be difficult to and but it is worth it. Now this same person would do anything to have me back as a friend because I was always supportive and a good listener. But I have moved on and I now surround myself with people who give as much as they take.
It’s Star magazine. I’d hardly use it to line a birdcage, much less judge the state of some strangers’ friend ship.
But you can’t say there isn’t a grain of truth to it—as soon as Courtney was going through her divorce, Jennifer was nowhere to be found. Now whether that was up to Courtney, or whether Jennifer abandoned her–that’s up for debate and personal opinion. But they’ve only been recently seen together, doing the things they used to do all the time together (like going to dinner, going to Cabo, etc)–Chelsea took over Courtney’s spot for a while.
It always amazes me how you have so much interest in Jennifer Aniston. There is nothing interesting about her and she is much older than you are, but somehow you always leave absurdly long comments in every post on Aniston. Many young people are not interested in Anniston but you seem to be. Why?
Why does she owe you an explanation of who she enjoys following?
Exactly. Virgilia can like who she likes and she doesn’t owe anyone an explanation why. Hell, I am constantly commenting on Kim K posts! It’s just gossip and it’s FUN :).
@Linda – Long comments – or short comments – its about whatever works. The comments are entertaining no matter what length and who they are about. It is also interesting to read viewpoints from all ages – it makes the discussions more lively and colourful. This triangle of Jennifer, Courtney and David is interesting discussion springboard because friendship is a universal phenomenon.
@Linda
Would you prefer that I leave obscenely long posts (as I do), filled with facts and my own personal opinion (as one does on this site), or would you rather I simply write ‘Whoriston’, on every single one of her posts, and call it a day?
@ Zapatos
I agree
I also had a friend like that. She only was around when she was breaking up with a guy or her relationship was in trouble.. and she would seek out help from me like I was her therapist. But when I needed her she couldn’t have cared less. We aren’t friends anymore lol.
Jennifer doesn’t have any need for Chelsea anymore because since Angelina’s double mastectomy – Chelsea cannot attack her anymore. Many cancer survivors and supports with be furious with Chelsea and Jennifer did that.
Exists Chelsea and re-enter Courteney because as well all know Jennifer is a needy person and also uses others for her own gain.
I have said this many times and I will say it again – Jennifer doesn’t have any real friends only showbusiness friends who are also signed with the same pr agency. Its a mutual benefit to be seen together and called friends – nothing less nothing more.
PS: Despite going on and on about her Goddess Circle – Jennifer has never been there for any of her friends while they have always been there for her.
I agree with most of what you say. I’d like to point out, though, that Anjelina Jolie is not a cancer survivor. Her aunt is a cancer survivor. She took precautionary measures. She’s never had cancer. They are too quite distinctly different things.
I didnt say Angelina had cancer – I only wrote that cancer survivors and supports will be angry on Angelina’s behalf.
Even though you misunderstood my comment about cancer – I am glad that you pointed it out to me in a nice and mature way without the usual bitchy way someone people here on CB do.
OMG you know her?
How did it benefit Jen to visit RDJ when he was in prison? According to him most of his celebrity “friends” couldn’t be bothered to visit. It was a nice thing to do that didn’t benefit her fame in any way.
Yep…and we only found out about it from RDJ.
“Couldn’t be bothered to visit” is an understatement. Most of Hollywood wanted nothing whatsoever to do with RDJ at that time.
I read somewhere that Jen visited RDJ to get the name of his dealer.
Only you’ve just used it to prove how NICE she is, so she has benefited.
“Overtures were made to several Hollywood stars to go to see him. Only Jennifer Aniston did.” So she was asked, not of her own initiative.
Very true, Eva. Very true.
Wow, you people are really crazy. She never brought it up, he did years later. If she wanted to use it to her benefit then she could have tipped of the press to have her picture taken leaving the prison. As for needing the number for a dealer, that is ridiculous. I’m sure that any celebrity can get the number of a dozen dealers without leaving their home. She worked with Mathew Perry for heaven’s sake. JA and RDJ were friends before he went to prison. He or his people reached out to friends for support and she was one of the only ones that responded. It was a nice thing to do, period.
I’ve read that about her only having showbiz friends — Like John K & Emily Blunt were set-up w/her because they’re from the same agency, along w/Jimmy Kimmel. — I guess part of that makes sense bc I have some friends from work who I consider ‘real’ friends (as opposed to ‘work’ friends)
I thought she met Jimmy Kimmel through Justin. I’m also sure the agency has parties and events where their clients mingle and network. I agree about the thing with work friends. Sometimes there are work friends that become real friends that you keep even if you leave your job. Then there are some people that are forever work friends that you lose the second one of you leaves the job.
Star Mag? Enough said.
But aside from that, I don’t think you can judge a friendship based on occasional photos and awful tabloid sources. Maybe they drifted apart, maybe not. Whatever the case, if they’re close now, that’s nice.
I do think friendships, especially long term ones, can change over time. Other people, relationships, work, kids, etc can all have an impact. I have some friends I hang out with often, but my best friend since I was 5, the one I turn to for support in tough times? Sometimes we don’t actually see each other for months.
I don’t know, over the years–it is hard to see Jen take her “friends” to Cabo and not wonder what she is setting them up to use them for…either for work, sources for PR, to get people to quit dogging her or to become her attack dog.
I also think Jennifer is the one that most wants a ‘Friends’ reunion (although it is always spun to make it look like the others want it more), since she mentions the show the most in interviews. The rest of the cast seem happy just being themselves.
it is hard to see Jen take her “friends” to Cabo and not wonder what she is setting them up to use them for.
What??
She takes them to Cabo in order to set them up & use them??
That’s a good one.
Well said Anon +100,000.
I think the vacation trip is definitely a precursor to a 2014 20th Anniversary Friends reunion show or mini-series.
10th, maybe?
@ Delta Juliet, I’ve only heard it being referred to as Friends 20th Anniversary Show and presume that’s because the show premiered in 1994. I mistakenly included reunion.
Anyhow, it appears as though they’re all ready, willing and able to complete such a project .
So true – Jennifer is the one most desperate to have a Friends reunion. She is only known for her hair, Friends and the fact that she was once married to the twice voted sexiest man alive.
Her hair is not that great anymore and the Ex-Mrs Pitt tag is also not valuable anymore so that leaves with Friends. She always mentions Friends even if the journalists don’t ask her about it. Plus how long can she go on stripping of her clothes in the name of comedy?
I will however say that Jennifer does seem to try some new stuff with Crime of Life and that new movie with Toni Colette. Maybe she will surprise us with a good dramatic performance – stranger things have happened.
PS: As for the way she uses celebs and Smartwater – well the whole world has caught up on that. That her annual bikini show in Cabo is to show of her showbusiness friends, her body and advertise for SmartWater. Many gossip pages have also mentioned this several times.
She’s the only one who still has any kind of career. You’re just making things up.
I don’t think any of them are desperate. That show made them so rich they never have to work again. Jen makes a ton on her movies whether you like them or not. Courtney and Matt have current shows. Mathew Perry and Lisa still get pretty regular work. Even David works doing voice over work and some tv and web work. They all still work, but don’t need to. Every time you see a friends rerun they are getting paid. That being said it would be nice if they did a reunion. They all still seem to get along and are willing to come in for Cameos on each others tv projects.
I thought that Courtney got in on the bikini parade because the new season of Cougar Town started this week.
Oh I like that angle! Jen seems to have used Courtney so I’m ok w/Courtney using Jen for press if she needs it.
They’ve been friends for 20 years at this point; things always ebb and flow in long friendships. People end up at different life points at different times. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s somebody you know you can always count on. I think that’s where these two find themselves and, as somebody who has this sort of friend, it can be a real comfort just to know they’re out there even when you’re not seeing each other all the time.
I was waiting for the weekend Aniston post.
Wow…its amazing how different Jennifer’s face looks….I must applaud her plastic surgeon….
I agree. I said the same thing above — It seems like she’s had a bunch of little things done over the years so it was never a big shocking reveal, which makes the end result look almost natural. Although lately she’s been over-doing it w/fillers, which takes away any sort of ‘natural’ look she had.
Howard stern and jimmy Kimmel were there with them too. Funny there’s no mention of that.
I think there was converage of Kimmel and Stern last when they were actually on vacation, if you look back at former posts.
I guess Jen and Howard bonded over their signature hair-dos.
So were Clooney, Cindy Crawford/Randy Gerber & wait for it….Michael Phelps.
Lol there were Clooney’s friends and were with him – not Jennifer’s despite how much you claim. Again Stern is Kimmel’s friends and not Jennifer’s. Even Emily Blunt and hubby are Justin’s friends and not hers – Jennifer’s only friends are Courteney and Chelsea.
Clooney and Jennifer are both fame hungry so them bonding over that is no surprise. Clooney is also friends with Matt Damon, Ben Afflect, Brad Pitt and many more but you don’t see them releasing statements whenever they party together. In fact only Jennifer namedrops people for publicity and some like Clooney are fine with it while others don’t play her game and moves away from her.
maybe they just missed one another…friends do have cooling off periods, relationships, work, family, so simply bullhockeypucks on all the conspiracy theories. It is a part of life.
Matt Damon actually names drops a lot, but it doesn’t bother me. To us they are celebrities, but to each other they are friends or coworkers. Jen is also good friends with Ellen and Rita Wilson. Sheryl Crow also talks about their friendship. You don’t actually know her. I don’t know how people make these bold proclamations about strangers.
The same bold way many of you call someone a home wrecker without actually knowing them. The same way you say some celebs don’t have any friends because they don’t call the paps or flaunt their friendships.
It’s funny when one commenter chastises another for not actually knowing a celebrity, while explaining what the celebrity is actually like. Delicious.
Maya I have not called anyone a homewrecker. I have also never claimed any celebrity doesn’t have any friends, though you just did. And Sullivan I have no idea what Jen is actually like in real life. I just said that Ellen, Rita, and Sheryl have publicly spoken of their friendship with her. For all I know Jen and Angie get together once a month to drink blood and have sex.
There are some celebrities I really like that could be horrible people in real life. I really like Jennifer Lawrence for example, but maybe she kicks puppies. I would not put my hand in the fire for anyone I do not know. I understand everything here is really just opinion and speculation. Some people on here swear they know things for certain, which is impossible unless you were there.
“A list friendship?” In 1998 maybe.
Why do the tabloids think all women want to get married? Marriage is becoming a thing of the past. How many times can you swear to “love, honor, and cherish” someone until “death do you part?”
First marriage: have a big wedding (but people in attendance will be wondering how long it will last while they are smiling at you and wishing you a lifetime of happiness.) Second marriage: go to Nevada (because no one gives a shit.) Third marriage: don’t even tell anyone because people think you’re a loser.
A piece of paper isn’t going to make Justin stick around. There’s truth to the 7 year itch …
OT: One hundred years ago children born out of wedlock were called “bastards”; now they are called “normal.”
Or the 14 year itch….
Great post – there is a goldmine of humour on here with the witty commenting – thank you for the chuckle 🙂
Jen is Courtney’s daughter’s godmother. How much falling out could they have possibly had? Perhaps they caught up sans paparazzi.
But yes, I was wondering why there was no comment on the sudden appearance of Cox in Cabo with jen while there was the Jen in Cabo post the other day 🙂
hmmm so all those sightings over the years were what? photoshopped?
aniston looks terrible in those bathing suit pictures kate beckinsale is about her age and she looks a lot better i dont know why so many people say she looks good she does not Jennifer looks manly i am not saying this to offend those pictures are awful she should stop wearing those tiny bathing suits other women her age or older look better like Sandra bullok
So may people say Aniston looks good because that’s what Huvane (Aniston’s publicist) has told us to believe over the past 10 years. Jen’s Hot Yoga Body…Jen’s Toned Abs…Get Aniston’s Diet & Exercise Secrets…and on and on. Her body (and hair) is her currency. But those of us who haven’t been brainwashed by Aniston’s deafening PR tactics know the real truth.
i agree with everything you said i look at her and think i am disgusted her breast are flat and little other women with small breast look better once again Sandra bullok i gess class counts a lot on stile and wearing what is right and she is not in good shape to wear what she wears she has to beggin to accept her age she is not old but i think she looks older tan she should at her age
Looking a the first and second pictures.. it looks like 4 different people.
This is just to the people talking about her ‘friendship’ with RDJ, etc—
I get that you guys don’t like Jennifer–I think you have valid reasons…..but I don’t think that gives you carte blanche to say that EVERYTHING she does, has an angle. I think that it was a very nice thing that she did, to go visit RDJ while he was in prison, when no one else would. If he asked her–so what? We don’t know how friendly they were–if RDJ was so desperate, that he’d contact any and everyone he’d had a friendly conversation with. And being that they aren’t really friends now–they don’t hang out that much in public–I would bet that they were casual acquaintances. I think that you can make a fair point that she does befriend people so that they won’t make fun of her–Chelsea Handler, Howard Stern (although we’ll see if he says crap about her now)–but I think her friendship (or lacktherof) with RDJ is off limits.
That being said–I am wondering why Jennifer didn’t go to Susan Downey’s b-day party with Justin–she wasn’t filming, I don’t think.
I agree with you wholeheartedly – just because some of us don’t like Jennifer it doesn’t mean that everything about her is fake or needs to be attacked on.
Even though RDJ’s manager asked Hollywood to come and visit none did except Jennifer and she needs to be praised for that. It doesnt matter that she was asked to visit him – it only matters that she did.
I still stand by my statement that Jennifer doesn’t have any true friends outside of Hollywood and CAA – these Cabo friendships all are for mutual benefits. But I will never question her friendship with RDJ, Courteney Cox & Andrea Bendewald – they are her real friends even though I personally think her and Courteney had a break in their friendship because of Chelsea. And also that Courteney was tired of always helping out Jennifer and that Jennifer wasn’t there for her.
But the rest of the celebs we see her with are actually her partner’s (ex partner’s) friends which hang out with Jennifer because of her other half. From George Clooney (Brad Pitt’s) Emily Blunt and hubby, Jimmy Kimmel (Justin’s). even Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Drew Barrymore and acquaintances through Chelsea Handler and not actually her own friends.
Jennifer has been friends with Clooney for years. It was she that introduced Clooney & Pitt. When visiting Europe this past year, Jen & Justin stayed at Clooney’s Italian Villa.
There is no evidence whatsoever that Aniston introduced Clooney to Pitt despite what spinner says. On the contrary. Pitt and Clooney had worked together long before he dated Aniston.
Actually I read that even though Jennifer and Clooney met during Friends they were never friends until Brad starred with Clooney.
PS: Every celeb stays at Clooney’s Italian Villa – he rents it out to them and gets free publicity.
Brad and George met when they started filming Ocean’s 11. They both said in an interview that they did not know each other before that. They were impressed because they hit it off so well at the first meeting; therefore they were not friends before. If Jennifer had introduced them before then why would they talk about hitting it off on the set at the first meeting.
Despite what the media likes to build they are not BFF’s now (George/Brad). They are 2 men that have worked together and enjoy hanging out when they are together. George has said before that he and Brad don’t talk that much. That until they were promoting their respective films a few years ago that they had not seen each other in over a year. So all this George and Brad are BFFs NOPE.
I don’t know the George and Jennifer relationship. I’m sure they are friendly. Celebrities get together in different ways. Someone is friend to this one and they bring that one to a gathering. Brad has a very small tight circle of close friends. I remember someone in an interview saying it was hard to reach Brad. That there is a process.
I don’t know why it is so important to her fans that she was at a George Party. As if that is some kind of badge of honor.
Jenn recently attended and spoke at a ceremony for RDJ.
If the were / are just casual friends I think that makes Jennifer’s show of support a wonderful gesture.
FRIENDS star Jennifer Aniston has shown ROBERT DOWNEY JR. some much needed affection by secretly visiting the troubled actor in California’s toughest jail. Robert, who’s in jail serving a three- year-sentence for violating probation on a 1996 drug charge, had been brutally beaten up by violent inmates and almost choked to death. Despite being anti-drugs, the Friends stunner spent two hours offering comfort, support and hope to Robert who is in CORCORAN JAIL. After her visit Downey said, “Jennifer was there for me when other so-called friends turned their backs. Thanks to her, I have hope, a way out… Before there was none. I’d even thought of doing myself a favor by ending it all”. The CHAPLIN star spoke of his gratitude to Jennifer in a conversation with his former agent and lifelong friend Jerry Goldstein who went to see him in prison on his 35th birthday. Goldstein says, “He’s like a frightened rabbit. Overtures were made to several Hollywood stars to go to see him. Only Jennifer Aniston did and it’s just about saved Downey’s life. God bless you, Jennifer.”
Well, that great. I’m glad she was kind to him.
But none of that changes the skepticism about her PR people constantly pushing her bikini pics and her relationships in the tabs. It’s gotten very old and very dull. Include the PR spinners that contribute here to manage the comments in that category.
Jen loooks gorgeous in the top photo. Laughing at all of the same ppl commenting who follow and hate on her obcessively. Really grasping at straws to throw shade. Chick has a ton of friends, very successful, leads charmed life because of her hard work ethic. Get over it!
I find it ironic that you’re saying that some people are ‘really grasping at straws to throw shade’, when you are someone who says that a couple is only together for their kids–simply because in Hollywood most relationships end. No other reason, just because the majority of hollywood relatinships end. Which is ‘really grasping at straws’ once you think about it. Just a thought…..
There is speculation about the current relationship between Courtney and Jennifer, because—gasp!—it is a fact that immediately after Jennifer’s divorce, she went everywhere with Courtney and David Arquette. So much so, that David Arquette (true or not!) said that he felt like there were three people in a marriage–not just him and Courtney. When Courtney was going through her own divorce–Jennifer wasn’t there. They’ve only recently begun to be more ‘public’ with their friendship, as they did before–the Thanksgiving photos, for one.
Now whether the cooling off was because of Courtney telling Jennifer to back off, or Jennifer just bailing–that’s up for speculation. How we view Jennifer is how we view this story—obviously you have a different view. Which isn’t wrong–it’s a different view. But there is a story–whether it’s sensational, like Jennifer bailing on her the moment Courtney couldn’t (or wouldn’t) go to their weekly maragarita mixers, or if it’s just simply that Courtney wanted (and needed) time for herself–which is what I think happened. Either way–there’s a story, so no one, least of all the tabloids, are pulling this story out of thin air, and neither are the people who are commenting.
And while I think that Jennifer is good at what she does (enough people love her acting–I don’t find her anything special), she can’t be the cute girl in the movies forever. And while she is moving past that i.e. ‘Horrible Bosses I and II’, she can’t be ‘that’ girl forever either. I wish she’d use some of her millions to actually finance her own movies, instead of complaining that she never gets the roles that she wants….so I don’t think she has a ‘hard work ethic’–she plays the same roles over and over.
She has a production company–once she uses it to finance the projects that she supposedly wants (like she said when she started it–it was a production company to ’empower women’), then I will believe that she has a hard work ethic, towards films anyway. Woman can flip houses like no one’s business 🙂
Well Vig, apparently , this is the recent PR spin on Jen. She has important hair and important friends and ….people LIKE her.
They really like her. And they’re really her friends. These people. The kind of people who don’t get photographed on vacation because they’re discreet and don’t need Smart Water to pay for their good time.
Her Q ratings must be slipping.
you should expand what you read and hear to get more true picture because it aint here
Well then enlighten me, Maggie. I don’t see how I’m missing a thing….what is the ‘true picture’?
