You know how there’s like that one photo of Jennifer Aniston holding then-infant Coco Arquette kind of awkwardly that the tabloids always use whenever they run a story about Aniston being supposedly pregnant, adopting, or otherwise longing for a child? (If you have a link to that photo send it as it wasn’t easy to Google, but I swear I’ve seen it like 20 times.) Well now they have other photos they can run of the 40 year-old looking completely at ease with a sweet little girl.
Aniston was photographed on the set of her upcoming IVF romantic comedy The Baster yesterday in New York with a little co-star in her lap. The girl looked like she could be Aniston’s daughter and is obviously playing the role on screen. I love Jason Bateman and I hope this film has some good substance behind it and isn’t just another predictable romcom.
Aniston has said in several interviews that she wants children, but you can tell that she’s also sick of answering the question over and over again. She told a funny anecdote to David Letterman about how reporters needle her about her personal life and future plans.
“Like with Marley and Me, this one person says ‘In this movie, you are a mother of three, and the wife of a man. Does this, you know, inspire you to want to have three children and be the wife of a man?’ I’m going ‘If it wasn’t for this movie that seed would never have been planted, thank you.’”
We’re sure to be treated to more questions like that as Aniston promotes The Baster. “Have you ever considered IVF?” will undoubtedly be asked dozens of times, and Aniston will come up with a gracious answer as always. I like her and I don’t really find her as boring as some of my friends and colleagues. I think her last appearance on Oprah kind of cinched it for me because she seemed warm and friendly and wasn’t shy about asking questions about a certain ex. She didn’t get into it too much though.
If she wants a baby, or if she doesn’t, it’s up to her. As a mother I know how much hard work it can be, and think it should be a personal decision without pressure from friends, family or the media. Many mothers envy single women who seem to be able to live life on a whim and many single women envy those of us with happy families. The grass is always greener.
Thanks to Fame Pictures for these photos.
Can we leave this woman alone? Why the point of she has or not kids is relevant? I am sure if the picture was of other single celeb with a child in the set we wouldnt be discussing that.
Is “The Baster” about IVF or just donor insemination?
IVF is a long, invasive and extremely expensive process, while donor insemination costs less than a thousand bucks and takes about five minutes.
The first picture at the bottom is so cute. I wonder why CB saw a need to put one where the poor little girl is frowning.
Pr again last time they brought a fake boy friend for attention now it’s rent a child. Her pr team just know Jen will get ignored unless they pull every cheap trick in the book.
Jen’s pr people keep floating the who she is dating/having a kid thing in the media to keep attention. That’s why I have no pity for Jen.
OMG – what difference does it make if she does or does not have kids? I am so sick of this – I’m 47, single with no kids – I recently ended a 6 year relationship and I’m NOT desperate!!!! Actually, I’ve just enrolled in school to pursue a degree in law…I’m not leading an “empty” life because I chose NOT to have children and I also choose NOT to settle for any man that walks into my life. I can certainly relate to Jennifer and wish all these people would just stop that she is somehow incomplete without a child or a man! Jen shows incredible inner strength where most women need a man and children to somehow complete their empty lives. Give it a rest already!
I love Jen. But even I am getting sick of the reconstituted ‘interviews’ and the ‘we know her so well’ bull. I like all her movies, some more than others, and this one sounds so funny, and Jason Bateman is always ‘on’ in all his flicks.
I hope Jen becomes a mother, ‘anyway’ she feels is best for her, but if that is not something she does in the future, I just hope its not something she regrets.
That baby is not happy with her since she is frowning in every picture. Jen scare kids to death.
“The Baster” is a terrible name for a movie. Am I right?
ah, and here come the crazy brangeloonies.
frowning in every picture, eh? either your eyes don’t work or you just like to lie.

and jeff…get over it. Whether you like her or hate her, Aniston is never going to be “ignored”. amazing that you think her pr team has that kind of influence. you and kap (if you’re not really kap) should get together since both of you are SO obsessed with her “pr team”.
oh, and FYI DUMBASS, the kid is IN THE MOVIE.
That photo is about as close to motherhood as she is ever going to get.
wow jeff you are making me laugh so hard lol, so her having a child in her new films is somehow the work of her pr team lol…. isnt she allowed to play mother roles in her life, you do know that this isnt her first role as a mother, she also played a mother on friends and other film like ‘marley and me’ but hey i guess aniston pr team also rent those kids so that she wouldnt be ignored haha
yeah, and hanging out with my nieces and nephews is the closest thing to motherhood that I’ll ever get…and I’M OK WITH THAT.
perhaps Jen is too.
what do you see wrong with not wanting kids?
Oprah decided not to have children and no one is beating her up for it and I don’t think no one would beat Jen up about it if she was to say “I decided not to have kids” and don’t put pictures out like this. Oprah stands by her choice not to have a child and don’t play games about it. Jen/public relation need to learn. The media would stop talking about it if they stop use it to get attention.
12.ugh:
what do you see wrong with not wanting kids?
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Nothing, but if she really feels that way, she shouldn’t say she wants kids, or that she sees herself having kids and married in 5 years (Vanity Fair 2005), because it might be her non-fans harrassing her now, but soon all the gossip rags will be throwing all her old comments back in her face. And you know how annoying and irritaing they are at repeating themselves.
to truth-SF, though I didn’t ask you, I appreciate your response. however, chicamorena’s comment was clearly meant as an jab against her.
I agree, if she doesn’t want kids, she should just say so.
FYI DUMBASS darth I’m not kap and
Nobody said she could not play mother rolls. It’s pulling pictures from the movie and splashiing them all over the Internet that’s a cheap pr trick. She can do as many movies with kids as she dam well please. They should cool it on the sticking the pictures out like this and making too much about it. Same as the picture with the Jason kiss. They put the picture out then make too much about it soon the media will be burned out about this movie
before it even start.
Dear Randall, I’m not Jeff. I have a lot of respect for Bullock who admitted she doesn’t want kids. Aniston probably doesn’t either but will not risk the wrath of her minivan fanbase and tell the truth. Also, it keeps the “poor wronged EX wife” successful PR scheme going which is selling tickets to her 1 and 2 star movies. It is she who keeps saying she wants children. IMO no woman should be judged by their personal decisions, but you can’t have it both ways either. And you should not underestimate the power of CAA and the Huvane Brothers. They know keeping her attached to this triangle is working and doubt they’ll stop anytime soon. That coupled with the make believe boyfriends and strategically timed bikini shots keeps her in the news but is always suspiciously timed to coincide with the J/Ps public schedules (premiers, award shows, births). You seem like a fan of hers and don’t recognize it as much as if you were a fan of Jolie or Pitt, which I obviously am. We are all entitled to our opinions.
for someone who’s not kap you sure have an obsession with Aniston’s pr team the same way kap does.
as in, accuses them of planting EVERY story about her and orchestrating EVERY picture of her that appears.
do you really believe that Aniston’s “pr team” determines which pictures get taken by paparazzi and “splashed across the internet” and posted by gossip blogs? you’re saying that Aniston now has control over the internet? Holy crap! guess she’s a whole lot more influential than people give her credit for, huh?
also, I didn’t accuse you of saying that she couldn’t play mother roles. YOU implied that her “pr team” trotted out a rented child and denounced it as a “cheap trick”. (until it was pointed out to you that the kid is IN the movie.)
to kap…
not a “fan” of either the two women. I think I’ve only seen one movie that each has been in. (Office Space and Girl, Interrupted…and neither was the primary actor)
I just get tired (as others on here have mentioned) of people being accused of things they have no control over. and I mean RIDICULOUS accusations like Jeff made. sorry to say, I’ve seen you make similar ones about her “pr team”. that’s why I ASSumed.
publicity is ramped up any time ANY actor has a movie coming out. it just seems silly to bash any actor for doing what EVERY actor (or their pr team) does.
I think it’s Some of Jennifer’s own fans that cry about Jennifer needs to have a baby song to dealth. I believe it’s only to compete with Brad and Angie. I don’t think Jennifer needs to have a baby if she don’t want to either. The other people will soon get tired of talking about to to. But Jennifer did do a lot of talk about baby plans. If I were her I would just come out say look people I’m not going to have a kid at all every one will get over it eventually.
Darth I really believe all the mess is started by Jen’s pr team sorry you don’t see that.
A lot of people understand how her pr team work. I think she would look more sincere if they cool it a bit.
Has anyone considered that maybe she DOES want to have a baby, but she doesn’t want to do it alone (adoption, in vitro, etc.) so she’s waiting to find the right man to have children? Or maybe she doesn’t KNOW if she really wants children. She doesn’t have to make decisions based on YOUR timeline. And the pictures were taken by pap agencies and picked up by CB and other blogs. Are you suggesting CB is on the Aniston payroll? Ha.
I don’t “see it” because it’s a ridiculous assumption. if you really believe it, I feel sorry for you.
however, you are implying that YOU understand how her pr team works? are you ON it? please, enlighten us with your insider’s take on how Aniston’s pr team works.
brad pitt has a movie coming out too. how come nobody accuses his pr team of planting stories about the triangle to drum up interest? or planting stories about he and Jolie adopting another kid, or how they went to a grocery store on Long Island, etc…
because it’s a RIDICULOUS accusation, that’s why.
I would believe she is waiting on the right man Lizzy if she wasn’t wasting time on useless douche bags like John Mayer. Hooking up with that man says you are in it for the media attention and you are not serious about a relationship or children which is fine. She don’t have to have a family if she don’t want to but please stop with the faking it.
Oh please. JM could just have been a time-filler/media attention grabber until someone better came along. Who cares? Maybe for her it’s not a rush to the altar/baby-making factory. Maybe it’s one of those things she wants, but isn’t going to rush into for her own selfish purposes. Geez, what a thought?!?!
I’m sure Aniston loves all the extra attention this baby stuff gets her. She’s the one who feeds the lions by giving so many quotes saying she wants kids “in a year,” “she’s on her way,” & “she always wanted kids.” I’m cynical and I don’t believe she is so innocent. She knows how to feed the tabloids and keep herself in the public eye. That’s just my opinion–no need for hatin’
That baby looks like a mini-me of Reese Witherspoon.
I agree with Truth-SF 4:54 and Cherry 8:48 Jen feeds the media with this stuff baby stuff. If every one does this as some of Jen fans say then Jen’s people do it so poorly and distastefully.
I feel so sorry for that baby her face look so miserable.
I wish her mom would take her back.
Somethings you just can’t make it look right even in a picture.
Having an opinion 5 years ago does not mean someone has the same opinion now.
And beside that, even if she says she wants a baby tomorrow, that doesn’t mean she’ll have one tomorrow.
I want kids as well and I’m 23. Does that mean I can’t tell anyone I want kids until I’m absolutely ready to have them because if I tell people I want to have kids and I don’t until I’m 33 or 43, was I being disingenuous?
The kid is in the movie!!
WTF is wrong with some of you people?
Those are just some poorly timed shots. I actually know the little girl and her mom (who was right there on the set) said that she was having a great time with Jennifer. This little girl is adorable and is going to be great in this movie!
