Do you think Jennifer Aniston is culture snob? I do not. I think she has tried unsuccessfully to be a culture snob in the past, but at a certain point, no one was buying it and she gave up. Nowadays, she freely admits to watching trash TV and reading silly self-help books, just like everybody else. During her failed Oscar campaign, didn’t she even admit to watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette? Yes, she did. She called those shows “great junk food” and a “train wreck.” Well, she has another junk-TV show: Keeping Up with the Kardashians. No, Jen, no!!! Some more highlights from her endlessly parceled-out People Magazine interview:
She loves KUWTK: ”I sadly am very much interested in the Kardashian-Jenner thing. That’s a guilty pleasure for sure.”
On Caitlyn Jenner’s VF cover: ”I thought it was beautiful.”
Taking over Living Proof’s Instagram for a day: “I was so stressed out, sweating bullets. It was too much pressure. For these Kardashians, it’s a career!”
She’s worried about social media’s larger effect: “Kids aren’t speaking to each other anymore. I was with friends of ours from Vermont and their two kids don’t have an iPhone or an iPad. They were 9 and 12 and were the most interesting young adults. Seeing other kids on their [phones] all the time, it makes me sad.”
She hasn’t named all of her chickens: “We attempted to do that, but there are 17 of them now. I’ve lost track because they all look alike! We did get two baby chicks as a gift named Justin and Jen.”
“I’ve lost track because they all look alike.” Jennifer Aniston is racist about chickens!! CHICKEN RACE WAR. Ha, since I know there will be some Jen Hens (literally!!!) butthurt about that, it was a joke. Aniston is not racist about chickens. But please feel free to make some hashtags about that happen. #AnistonIsRacistAboutChickens #AnistonThinksAllChickensLookAlike
As for her interest in Keeping Up with the Kardashians… I’m not judging her. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? It’s a lazy weekend, you’re flipping through the channels and you end up watching the Kardashian sisters get bikini waxes or something and you get stuck. Your mind wanders and actually form opinions about them. “Kourtney is so dumb and self-centered,” you think to yourself. “Kim actually makes a good point there.” That’s how they get you.

Dull.Dull.Dull.
“Friends from Vermont?” Probably someone Justin knows.
She tries to sound thoughtful and she just flops. Those 9 and 12 year olds probably know more about the world than she does.
I believe he went to Bennington, so yes probably his friends. Her compliment to the kids capable of having a nice conversation with grownups rather than focus on their electronics was the only part of this interview I liked.
But there’s something about the way she says it: “Kids aren’t speaking to each other anymore.” A flat pronouncement. It sounds like she read it in a magazine and is parroting it so that she sounds “in the know.” I doubt she has spent much time observing any children.
BTW I think social media makes kids feel more connected, not less. My 16 year old daughter is constantly in touch with her friends–what are you doing, how are you feeling, want to go somewhere? If they have a problem they hash it out. My son is college aged so he’s a little beyond the texting-every-15-minutes stage, but it’s still a way he keeps up with people.
minx, that seems unfairly harsh, is there literally anything she could say that people wouldn’t rip to shreds? I have two teens and I generally agree with her on kids spending too much time on their devices. So do the high school teachers I’ve talked to recently.
In any case, she can’t win. She talks about hair and gets slammed. She talks about something else and she gets slammed.
Esmom, it’s the way I feel. IMO she doesn’t know what she’s talking about but she makes generalizations as though she does.
To name check the Kardashians & Jenner is a sign of PR desperation. Aniston is still irrelevant. Her time in the spotlight is done.
I recall when she gave some interview a few years ago where she just ripped and ranted on ‘reality show sh*t,’ said it was taking away jobs from actors and that she hated them and never watched. Now she watches? Mm. OK. My guess is she’s always watched but never would have admitted it before now (now she wants to be seen as in step with pop culture and wants that popularity the kardashians have).
No one can tell me she doesn’t grind her teeth into fine powder every time the tabloids cone out and she isn’t on it but the kardashians are. Hahaha
Her bestie the crypt keeper, Chelsea handler is known for constantly slamming Kim and other kardashians, in fact that’s how I knew E! was about to fire her, they let Khloe host her show for a week and she couldn’t do a ggdamg thing about it, lol
Now unemployed handler is growing increasingly unhinged and is in Instagram oblivion, reduced to stripping and showing teats and azz while Kim k and co. laugh at her ugly desperate azz trying to bite off of them. Hahaha. Schadenfreude
That’s the thing with aniston, she’s either lying or talking out of both sides of her mouth – totally disingenuous, her interviews are either spokeswhorre shills or opportunities for her to remind people she and Justine are together despite living on opposite coasts and never seeing one another, lol.
Re the kardashians, she just figures if she can’t beat em…she can at least pretend niceness and hope for a photo op with Caitlyn or Kris or kim to get some of their social media shine. Desperadoooooo
I must be the only one on the planet who hasn’t watched a single episode. The only thing I watch on E! is talk soup.
#HumbleBrag #BetterThanJen
me neither, but in my country you can only watch it online… luckily. 🙂
I have seen a couple of episodes.. but that family is so boring it amazes me that they get that much attention. Everything is scripted and planned. So obvious. Their voices was enough for me to say NO MORE. It is not hard to avoid them on TV or online.
I have only watched clips of KUWTK, and clips of Friends. Never a full show of either. Both would hurt my head in different ways. Sorry if that sounds rude, but it is true for me.
Same here.
E! was once my go-to channel, until the constant K marathons.
I haven’t either. And I can’t understand anyone who would watch it — or any of the shows about those horrible housewives, or the little kids dressed up like street walkers for their mommy’s glory, or those dating shows that make a mockery out of marriage, and all of the other shows that humiliate people for entertainment. We need to demand better. And any smidgen of respect I had for Jen is now gone.
I was forced to watch one episode and wanted to simultaneously gouge my eyes out and puncture my ear drums. It was the worst thing I had ever seen on TV
I haven’t either.
Trust me, you are not the only one. I have never watched a single episode of any reality show. I much prefer intelligent acting, great scripts and a real plot when I sit down to watch something. If that makes me a cultural snob, fine, whatever. I also read, you know, like, books, with words not pictures, (dripping sarcasm) which is why any show featuring airheads talking about narcissist topics at a grade 2 level literacy would bore me to tears.
I know this because I did try the mindless channel surfing one day and caught my only glimpse of a KK show. The boyfriend of the one with the kids was telling KK and another one in the serious tone we might discuss a deadly illness or a manned mission to space that they should not consider reducing their butts, that is their look and the reason for their fame. Anyone else think that your brother-in-law (or whatever equivalent) should not comment on the size of your derrière? That it crass, idiotic, and just plain loony. If this is Jen’s entertainment, it tells you everything you need to know about her.
Me too, Viv. The Soup and only The Soup. The rest of the programming is pure junk.
I have a soft spot for them because I was sick in the hospital when I watched my first episode/marathon and they alleviated the pain.
True story… I contracted H1N1 Flu last year, and was in a coma for a little over 2 weeks. I used to watch RHOBH as my one and only show/guilty pleasure before I got sick. My husband, who was there every day during and after my coma, asked the nurses to leave the tv in the room on the Bravo channel. He was trying to be so sweet. Well, I am pretty sure that you can hear bits and pieces of things while in a coma. All I could hear was an endless stream of talking & fighting. I kept calling out to Jesus, but I don’t remember Him answering me. (I now am back into His Word daily, so I am back closer with Him now. Laziness lesson learned!). Anyway, I totally remember thinking I was in a section of Hell, that clearly was not fiery, but I knew my mind would go crazy nonetheless.
Then, the Lord let me come back, and the first thing I see is my husband holding my hand, and talking to me. Bravo = Hell. I would have wondered what in the world I had done wrong if I had heard a loop of KUWTK. I probably would be more disabled today.
I hear you… me, my sis and my mom used to watch Keeping up with the kardashian often when there were riots or a war going on (we live in a war zone).. According to my mom, she always said I just need to watch stupid people talk about stupid things so I can feel normal again. Can’t argue with that to be honest.
Welcome to the club. I never watched it either. Never intend to.
I’ve never watched it, either. It used to be on free-to-air TV here, about 5 years ago, but then went to pay TV, which I refuse to subscribe to. I’ve never been tempted. The only “reality” shows I’ve ever watched are the cooking ones: MasterChef, My Kitchen Rules, The Great British Bake-Off… I’ve honestly never seen ANY of the others.
I am in the club. Never watched it. I can also say I have never watched an episode of Friends. Somehow I was too busy for that whole era. And now we all have something new to worry about…what if we are in a coma and someone leaves the show on in our room all the time.
Is She schilling for a project or something?
Yep she is promoting her relationship with Justin.
Too funny. My sister admitted to me this past weekend that she sometimes watches Keeping Up With the Kardashians and that it’s changed her opinion on Kim – she thinks Kim is a genuinely nice person, albeit self-involved too LOL.
LOL! So sorry to hear. Does you sister know that the show isn’t written to make them, especially “the golden goose”, look bad?
Kim actually is more of the sweeter sisters especially when it comes to respecting her mum and others.Khloe is rude, Kourtney is mireable,Kendall is drama free but she can be rude to her mum too and Kylie is going through her bratty hate my mum stage.
You realize that you’re talking about characters, and not people, right?
Nope, nope, nope. We have definitely indeed not all been there. Proud to say I have never seen this show or even heard the Klan speak. Oh, so very proud.
I’ve never seen a full episode either. When the show comes on, their voices make my lips swell and I’m afraid I’m having an anaphylactic reaction. So glad my son’s epi-pens are handy.
A Hollywood insider with a third-degree black belt in Tabloids Keep My Career Alive! And she loves KUWTK!
But it must be like Karl Lagerfeld shopping the women’s clothes at a big box store. He knows how clothes are made and he sees all the flaws, the shortcuts, the frump. The cheap looks even cheaper to Karl! And yet it fascinates. The fashion train wreck fascinates, it’s so horrible. He sees everything, knows how it was done and why and at what horrible sweatshop. He knows the human cost of cheap clothing and yet he paws through the racks, marveling at just how tawdry it can get and how stupid we plebs are for buying it.
Reminds me of the Friends episode with the trivia contest:
Ross (the emcee): Rachel claims this is her favorite movie
Answer: Dangerous Liaisons
Ross: Her actual favorite movie is…
Answer: Weekend At Bernie’s
I laugh just thinking about that episode.
OMG that is such an apt comparison!
Why in the world is she doing all these fluffy, pointless interviews right now? She is not promoting a movie right now, & her next one is VOD. She is so desperate for attention.
This is not even promoting Aveeno/Living Proof. It is promoting herself.
I really don’t think Jennifer has the right to diss the Kadashians on Twitter feeds while she has made a career on being the scorned woman.
The difference between the Kadashians and Jennifer is that Kadashians use Twitter to promote stuff while Jennifer uses magazines and commercials.
Both takes clothes of for attention, both discusses their relationships, both mostly talk about diet, hair, exercising, – both name drops other famous people for attention and also shows off how many showbusiness friends they have etc.
And again Jennifer managed to insert Justin’s name into the conversation. It is in her contract with Justin that she has to mention him in every single interview especially interviews she promotes stuff?
Jennifer may not be a chicken racist but when have you seen her hanging out with people from other ethnicity? Her movies are all white actors/actress and maybe one or two Hispanic actors in very small roles, none of her showbusiness friends are ethnic etc
Jennifer has a real career as an actress. You may or may not enjoy her films and shows but she has a multi-decade body of legitimate acting work. The Kardashians are porn queens basically. They are nothing more then sex sellers, whether that be Kim and RJ, or “bee stung” lips, or asses so big it’s ridiculous. That’s your difference.
Yeah and Jennifer stripping of on magazine covers and showing her nipples on every single Friends episode, red carpets, movies etc has nothing to do with sex selling…
I was going to say this. All her friends and associates look just like her. Nothing diverse in them at all. Never have seen her with anyone that doesn’t look like her. One of the reasons I never liked that show. Noting about it that I could relate to at all.
But I don’t think you are suppose to point out that she seems to migrate to one particular demographic.
This is what bummed me so much about Friends. It”s supposed to be set on the Upper West Side which is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the entire country, and that whole damn show was wall-to-wall vanilla? I watched five minutes of one episode and never watched it. again.
Dammit Maya!
Youre not supposed to peel the onion and reveal its yellow belly (taking license to mix my metaphors if i want to).
By pointing out the comparisons between the business models of the two entities, one of which was supposed to remain under wraps, you have revealed that indeed, jenny watches the kartrashians for inspiration.
Another day, another dull interview. zzzzzzzzzzzz
Why do they not ask her why she can’t bother to go to Texas while Justin films?? She is not working right now, nothing stopping her!
Or why did she not get married in the past year considering she has not filmed a movie for over a year now?
Why should she go to TX and sit in a hotel room while her partner works 12-14 hour days vs. staying comfortably home in their manse with their pets. As to why they haven’t married, who knows, but clearly neither feels a burning need to.
Uh, because that is what couples do. Many couples in Hollywood go on location together rather than be apart for months. They are obviously a couple that does not care to spend time together. They spend lots of time apart which is why it is odd that she talks about him as if he was actually around.
She would not have to sit in a hotel room, she could you know explore the area…..something she does not do often…..or visit Justin on set.
They’re not apart for months. Apparently he flies home weekends (pics/twitter sighting posts on other sites). Seems like a perfectly normal arrangement rather than her hanging around without company while he’s working such long hours. I’m sure cast and crew would love her constantly interrupting the shoot of an intense show with set visits. Because that wouldn’t be distracting.
Not sure how living in the same city is disruptive to one’s work? I like having my DH to come home to after a long day.
They have lived apart since they were engaged and they both seem happy that way.
“We’ve all been there, haven’t we?”
NO, no we have not, Kaiser. I would rather watch my barefoot dangling off the side of a couch for an hour than 2 seconds of the Ks.
Would rather commit suicide then watch a single episode. My knowledge comes from reading the titles of any articles about them – never clicks on the link..
Really maya? You’d rather kill yourself than watch an episode?
WOW
Good god Stormama – it’s a joke which tells you how much I don’t like them…
Same here. Never have never will. Dental surgery without anesthetic is preferred to watching and thereby supporting that vapid gang.
Me too Kiddo.
Aniston is on a roll. A riveting roll.
yep – year 2015 is the year Jennifer officially gone downhill and continue to go further and further down.
Unless she makes a drastic change regarding her career she will be left with no choice but to do a reality show to stay relevant.
I have trouble remembering that she is 46 years old. Her vocabulary, the way she speaks and the things she talks about–she sounds like a teenager.
She’s not stupid, because it’s difficult to memorize lines (I couldn’t do it) and navigate your way around show business. It’s that she is so vacant, so boring and superficial.
Maybe if her fiancé was around, she’d have better things to do that watch the Kardashians.
Oh look, another Jennifer Aniston bashing post. Zzzzzzzzzzz.
Well she sure makes it easy ……..
Maybe she should try to be a little more interesting, and a lot less dull & shallow.
No reason do bedoing these interviews promoting herself.
I’m not a Jennifer Aniston fan. Freely admit this. I don’t rag on her acting because I don’t watch her films. I won’t believe tabloid rumors about her because I don’t believe them about the celebs I am a fan of. I will comment on the things that come out of her mouth.
But for those of you that are fans.. just curious.. are you really interested in her talking about her endorsements all the time. Are you going out to purchase these products because she says she uses them. I wonder because in all honesty her fans in mass are not supporting her projects. She has never carried a movie on her own. Nothing that can be contributed to her “star power”..so where are her fans putting their support of her. If it is only on gossip sites defending and talking about how awesome she is and how down to earth; or how great her hair and body are; then I guess she has heard you and are giving her fans what they in fact want from her. But I am curious for her diehard fans.. what do you want from her that she is not giving or is this it.
serious and honest inquiry. .
This is an excellent question and I have wondered this too.
Hi Lisa,
Despite not being a fan, I feel I can answer this.
Short answer: they (her fans..and I use the term loosely) , want her to prevail over the Jolie Pitts. Period.
They want her to ,’win.’
What this means for them…I don’t know..and they probably don’t either,lol.
*(Mayhap a fantasy Wedding to George Clooney, children that have big lips and small noses, Oscars – maybe all 3, I would suspect)
Essentially, her “fans,” aren’t really fans of hers at all. They’re her enablers and supporters who want her to prevail over her split and losing Pitt to one the most beautiful and famous women in the world. Thats what they need even 10 years later – that, and maybe having some catastrophe befall Brad.
That’s why these so called ‘fans,’ will always over exaggerate her looks, her movies, her current date mates ( brad who?!! So and so is sooo hot….I loved him in that TV series from 10 years ago where he had a recurring role at the end of the 8th season…he was so great in that kitschy action movie from 15 years ago that was panned by all….oh what’s his name again??) Lolol
Depot, thank you for a very sensible assessment. I’ve always felt the reason the tabloids were running those ridiculous baby bump stories every other week was because her fans are desperate for her to have a “spite baby” that will make Brad Pitt sorry he dumped her (forgetting he already has six of his own). I’ve noticed the tabloids seem to be scaling back on this, probably realizing that at her age, even her most die-hard fans don’t believe the stories any more.
brilliant post
thanks-you speak for me. I don’t get it about her. At all.
She simply cannot keep her nose out of the mags. And yet? Whines about it. Pick a struggle.
You only compare Amal to Angelina because sadly you can’t compare her to Aniston who pretends she has dislexia to make people feel sorry for her for calling dumb she knows it so she lies about having dislexia more pity me from Aniston sadly for her fans she is one of the most uneducated persons who can be put to shame next to Amal, Angelina equal comparison Aniston well they could talk about hair and about how empowering not wearing make up is.
How do you know she doesn’t have dyslexia? I am dyslexic and if my stress level is high I have more difficult time reading or speaking..my words come out jumbled or my writing level drops considerably – dyslexia has nothing to do with a person’s level of intelligence I have been posting on this site for years and no one would believe me if I stated my profession as I tend to write in a simplistic sentences, my grammar is horrendous and at work it sometimes it takes me an hour to write a letter longer to read and fully comprehend a report. My dyslexia does not limit my capabilities nor Aniston as she has amassed a $150 million fortune. :))
do you know for a fact that she does, this is not about people with dislexia is about her claim of having it, fact is it has been proven by her own spoken words that she is dumb and uneducated.
I am not impressed about her money Kim Kardashians has money is anybody calling her intelligent I dont think so but they both have won woman of the year by that magazine GQ isn’t that own or managed by her agent or one of his brothers,
plus i dont need to know your personal story i am not interested.
As I stated earlier dyslexia does not have a bearing on intelligence, or skills of observation. I can read your post…
Rosalee because no word about it for years and years and years and so on, not in her many, many interviews about herself, and all of a sudden she is trying for an Oscar nomination and she is talking about a dead ex (whom she never ever mentioned ever before) and dyslexia? Come on. If it looks and sounds like bullshet it usually is. I and many others don’t believe this new invention on Oscar nomination eve.
@Rosalee, who wrote: “How do you know she doesn’t have dyslexia? ”
How do ‘you’ or anyone else know that she ‘does’ have dyslexia? Jennifer Aniston has been acting professionally since 1990, when she was 19-years-old, and yet she waited until the age of 45 to mention it while conducting her Oscar campaign? Right.
That happened to me New Years Day 2014. I was too hungover to get up and get the remote and my best friend was asleep so I couldn’t have her get it for me. The channel was on E!, and I ended up watching 4 hours of kuwtk. Within the second episode, my mind was wandering just like that. “Leave Khloe(?) alone…damn!” “Ya, I kind of understand where Kim is coming from.”. It truly can suck you in.
Anyone remember that thing not long back where Aniston came out to that Kardashian (can’t remember the name, I’ve never watched their show, but she is married to that Kanye moron) that she ‘did it first’ ie the bum shoot? I remember thinking, oh how desperate and pathetic. I mean its not something to brag about, is it? Yet she was bragging that she was the first, before the Kardashian woman. That is what I mean. She reminds me of Paris Hilton. Not only in intellect, but she truly thinks she is sexy when she is so not.
