Jennifer Aniston Does ‘Vogue’ Magazine
Jennifer Aniston is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Vogue magazine and, very surprisingly, gives a pretty candid interview — talking for the first time, really — about the circumstances surrounding her break-up with ex-hubby Brad Pitt, her feelings on Angelina Jolie’s involvement with her then-husband and even her current relationship with John Mayer (there’s even a quote about the possibility of having children — “I’ve said it so many times: I’m going to have children. I just know it.”. To my knowledge, this new interview with Vogue is the most open that Jen has been about her private life, like, ever. Here is Jen on the cover of the new issue of Vogue and a portion of her coverstory interview:
Here she comes, in faded cutoffs and a tank top. Has there ever been a more casual star? A more unrepentant Southern California girl? I am standing in the midst of the dust and chaos—the clattering hammers, the buzzing saws—of the massive construction project that is Jennifer Aniston’s sprawling new Beverly Hills home. It is midday in late September, and Aniston is picking her way through the site. As she heads toward me she looks comfortingly—almost defiantly—the same as she always has. Long, sun-streaked hair. Check. Tanned yoga body. Check. Toe rings and hippie beads. Check. There will be no moody movie-star transformations, no fresh tattoos to prove how unpredictable she is. When I arrived a few moments earlier, a big, genial security guy helped me park my car among all the construction vehicles and then took me to an office where a man named Phil introduced himself as Aniston’s “estate manager.” An elegant fellow with a British accent, he is a holdover from her only slightly more grand life with Brad Pitt, when they owned a 12,000-square-foot Normandy mansion not far from here and a big spread in Santa Barbara. “He’s very…Phil,” says Aniston with a laugh. She stops for a second and, as she so often does, rethinks out loud. “Maybe we don’t mention that I have an estate manager.” And then: “He’s more like the butler.” … The post-Brad Aniston is one of the biggest tabloid stars in the world, and her image moves a lot of magazines. Partly because she took two years off from making films, she has been almost entirely defined lately by the tabloids as a woman who dates younger men and spends her days lolling around the pool in Cabo. Woody Allen recently said in an interview that “thoughtful people don’t take the tabloids seriously. They’re basically a form of entertainment.” Aniston knows this, but it still feels to her like a cross to bear. “You basically watch my life,” she says as we eat our chopped salads. “It happens in front of you. And I can protect it and try to control things only to a certain extent. I think what I’m doing now is letting go of the reins a little bit and saying, ‘It is what it is.’ But there is more to me than just a tabloid girl. This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love. Just because at this stage my life doesn’t have the traditional framework to it—the husband and the two kids and the house in Connecticut—it’s mine. It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it! Because I feel good. I don’t feel like I’m supposed to be any further along or somewhere that I’m not. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.” As we all know, ever since Aniston began dating Pitt in 1998, her love life has never been out of the news. Their divorce only ratcheted up the interest in her every romantic move. These days, the public fascination with her relationship with Vince Vaughn seems almost quaint. I ask her if there’s anything else to be said about that time. “I call Vince my defibrillator,” she says with genuine affection. “He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He’s a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course.” Most recently she’s been linked with John Mayer, whom she met last February at an Oscar party. “Barely knew his music,” she says. “And then we ran into each other a week later, and that was that.” The two began dating—Aniston flew to England to join him on his tour; they took a well-documented vacation to Miami—and partly because of Mayer’s past relationships with Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the paparazzi went bananas. Many people questioned Aniston’s judgment; Mayer, after all, is nine years younger and has a bit of a…reputation. To which Aniston says, half kidding, “People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense?” She laughs, knowing that this has the potential for a good parlor game. “Did Susan Anton and Dudley Moore make sense? Wait! I got more! Did…did…did…Madonna and….” She trails off. “I don’t want to get a dog in that fight…but we’ll think of more.” We both laugh, and then she gets more serious. “But you know, it isn’t designed. Love just shows up and you go, ‘Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half.’ ” After they split in August, Mayer, having been trailed for days, famously lost it in front of the paparazzi while leaving a gym in New York. In one of the more ill-advised moves in the history of modern celebrity romance, he burst into a rant, saying, among other things, “If you guys are going to…run every lie under the sun…have me as a man who ended a relationship.” Mayer caught a lot of grief for his lack of chivalry, but Aniston chalks up his outburst to inexperience. “He had to put that out there that he broke up with me. And especially because it’s me. It’s not just some girl he’s dating. I get it. We’re human. But I feel seriously protective of him and us. Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man. And it doesn’t take away from the fact that he is a wonderful guy. We care about each other. It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize, We maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.” The aspect of Aniston’s tabloid persona that feels truly off base is that she is “needy” and “clingy” and “obsessive” about ex-lovers. In fact, just the opposite seems to be true. As evidenced from our conversation about Mayer, she seems entirely sanguine about how complicated and unpredictable love can be. She even seems to have made peace with her ex-husband. When I ask if she ever speaks with him, she says, “Yes!” in a tone that suggests that it is almost a silly question. How is he? I ask. She looks at me for a long couple of seconds and makes one of those classic Jennifer Aniston faces, one that lets you know that what she is about to say is going to be…ironic. “He seems…great?” she says. How often do you talk? I ask. “We have exchanged a few very kind hellos and wishing you wells and sending you love and congratulations on your babies. I have nothing but absolute admiration for him, and…I’m proud of him! I think he’s really done some amazing things.” I ask her if she can remember exactly when the post-divorce acrimony receded. “You mean, when were Brad and I healed?” she says. Yes, I say. “Well, it never was that bad,” she says, knowing that it will be hard for a lot of people to believe. “I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’ It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other. Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high. It’s too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one!—that’s unattainable.”
OY! I realize that this is a lot to read but the Vogue interview is very long … and there is still more. After the jump, if you so desire, read some more of the Vogue interview where the topic turns to Angelina Jolie (trust me, it’s worth reading) … and also check out a few photos from Jen’s Vogue magazine photospread …
When I ask her about Angelina Jolie, Aniston asks me to turn off the tape recorder for a moment. Suffice it to say, if there is never any love gained in the first place, there can be no love lost. But she did want to put a few things on the record. (Funnily enough, they involve some of the same issues brought up by the recent profile of Jolie in The New York Times, in which she talks about falling in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.) She asks me if I ever saw a cartoon that appeared in the New York Post a couple of years ago that depicts Aniston talking on the phone in her kitchen. The bubble over her head says, HI ANGELINA…I DECIDED TO TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR OFFER OF A “SIT-DOWN TALK.”…In the drawing, Aniston is loading a shotgun, and there is a copy of Vogue sitting next to her. (The cartoon was inspired by an interview I did with Jolie for this magazine in January 2007 in which she said she would welcome the opportunity to “sit down” with Aniston.) Someone sent Aniston the cartoon (”the funniest thing I’ve ever seen,” she says), and afterward, she could not resist the urge to buy a copy of Vogue to see what the fuss was about. What really rankled Aniston about the piece was that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how her relationship developed on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, while Aniston was still married to and living with Pitt. “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” says Aniston. “I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.” Aniston, still galled, shakes her head in disbelief. “That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.” … There is no doubt that Aniston is noticeably more confident. Even the prospect of turning 40 in February in ageist Hollywood doesn’t seem to faze her. “I’m not saying I’m 40. I’m 30-10. I don’t feel 40. I don’t know what it means. I just know that all of a sudden it’s something that’s in print next to my name. AND NOW SHE’S 40. It almost feels like some sort of badge of honor in a weird way.”
This interview deffo gives a different impression of Jennifer Aniston than we get from seeing mere photos of her. I imagine that it’s not easy to live one’s life like this but, as I always say, it comes with the territory of being a celebrity. I, for one, am glad that she’s finally gone on the record about some of this stuff … it puts things more in context and pushes away some of the conjecture.

Good for Jen…I wish everyone would get over their Jolie worship and realize that she’s not that great….I’m glad Jen spoke out about Jolie opening her mouth about falling in love with Pitt during Mr and Mrs Smith…I mean if anything they should keep something private…
November 12th, 2008 at 10:00 am
lookin pretty damn fine for 40! love this woman
November 12th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I’m sorry, but she looks like a man…
November 12th, 2008 at 10:09 am
I absolutely LOVE the bathing and nautical attire she’s photographed in! Fabulous!
November 12th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Hmm first picture = boobs.. last picture = no boobs. O.o?
November 12th, 2008 at 10:14 am
Now that Aniston has spoken, Jolie is the bad guy. That is just stupid. It’s not about who screwed who over, and Jennifer Aniston should get that.
It’s about love being so fucking unpredictable.
With having that said, Jennifer Aniston handled this whole ordeal amazingly well. She didn’t say harsh things about Jolie and waited four years before speaking about the most sensitive issue in the world. She’s a class act.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:24 am
A classy and beautiful lady!! Well done, Jen!
November 12th, 2008 at 10:26 am
“Blair Says:
I’m sorry, but she looks like a man…”
Dang! Then I want to look like a man if I’d look like her!! Lol! She’s a babe!!
November 12th, 2008 at 10:28 am
she’s gorgeous

Love is unpredictable so you can’t really blame Angelina and Brad for falling in love when they did. It’s unfortunate that Jennifer had to suffer b/c of it but if people do want to lay the blame somewhere, why isn’t it being laid on Brad? I mean, he was the one that was married at the time, not Angelina.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:38 am
Jen is looking mighty fierce is these pics,love her.
im glad she didnt come out bashing jolie when everything first started happening, it looked good on jen. its bad she had to go through all that publicly & i understand by what she means that jolie shouldnt have gone on in public how she “found love” during mr & mrs smith, good for them they found love, but they didnt have to go on like that
November 12th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Ha. I love how the writer made the comment “no fresh tattoos to prove how unpredictable she is”. I took it as a swipe towards Angelina Jolie.
Nice.
I still love Angelina no matter how much Jen tries to make it seem it doesn’t bother her…
November 12th, 2008 at 10:57 am
I’m about equality and I love Jolie and Aniston equally and would sleep with them both just to prove it.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:02 am
This bullshizz about how Aniston is the woman wronged is so played. It always takes two. If people want to look for a bad guy in this hot mess, look to Brad. He took his pecker off to greener pastures, and the rest of need to get over it. This Team Aniston/ Team Jolie nonsense is tiring. Brad’s been with Angelina almost as long as he was married to Jen, and Aniston needs to stop whining already. Booooo.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:04 am
at the end of the day, Angelina KNEW he was married and so what she did was wrong. She can be peacemaker, adopting babies and donating all over the world, that’s fine. But with regards to Brad Pitt, what she did was wrong: plain and simple. Brad is just as at fault too. Yes, it’s nice that they have a family now and they’re good parents, but the way they started things off was wrong and nothing is going to change that. This interview with Aniston reminds me of that. ” but we were in luurve” is no justification.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I really like her. She just seems so down-to-earth. I could be completely wrong but that’s the vibe I get from stuff like this article. I agree that this whole “Team Aniston, Team Angelina” thing has gone on for too long…it’s been what, 3-4 years? But Jennifer Aniston has probably been asked about it for that long and she could’ve said much worse things. I think she was pretty classy about the whole thing. It’s great that Brad and Angelina are in love but do they really have to publish half naked photos and a full timeline of exactly when they fell in love?
November 12th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Jen PR people are posting on all sites to try and make Jen look good. Truth is she is pathetic. Since when do you speak loving of an ex and refer to John as “that man” what a joke Jen is. Jen took the low road and look stupid.. Didn’t John tell Pink “he only snag stupid women.”
I would have had more respect for her if she shut up and didn’t say any thing.
Jen is try to promote her dog movie which is going to flop.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:20 am
I completely agree with Laura and JK! And props to Jennifer for being such a class act.
Yes, Brad was equally at fault as Angelina, but at least Brad didn’t publicly go and talk to a magazine about when they started falling in love. So uncalled for and unclassy, Angelina!!
November 12th, 2008 at 11:25 am
And did anybody catch this: “Suffice it to say, if there is never any love gained in the first place, there can be no love lost.” Hmm, maybe the author was hinting that Jen spilled that the tail-end of their marriage wasn’t that great anyway?
November 12th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Tara – she’s leaning forward in the first pic and back in the second. I have a tiny chest, so in some pics I can look like I have boobs and in others I have none at all. Ha ha.
Team ANISTON! :)
November 12th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
I didn’t read this article b/c it’s too long, but I’ve been hearing that she actually bought the Vogue mag with Angelina on the cover. Seriously, what the hell? I’m sorry, but that’s kinda pathetic for someone that claims to be over the whole “triangle” and trying to move on.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
You can’t take a man who doesn’t want to be taken. All Brad had to do was say no. Of course, everyone’s assuming that it was Angie who pursued Brad, but what if it was the other way around? I’m not saying that makes anything okay, but why is Angelina the *automatic* villain? And who’s to say Pittston was a happy marriage toward the end? Or even in the beginning. This madonna/whore shit is old, and Jen needs to STFU, go home and bang that ugly woman she calls a bf, and try to make a decent movie.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Go Jen! I’m so glad she finally spoke out about this. I would love to see her fall in love, and have children and lead a beautiful, successful life. She is a good person and I wish her much happiness. She is also very talented.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I’m not digging on the cover photo, but the rest are great! I don’t think she’s a classic beauty, but she’s kind of like the totally chill girl next door kind of beauty..I dig it..
November 12th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Love her. Finally she said something. It was about time. It’s been years since Jolie is yapping and no one stopped her.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:48 pm
I love me some Jen…she’s a fantastic lady, but in the interview she goes on to have a chop at Sex and the City. Now, apparently she has never watched the show, yet she feels she has the right to an opinion about it.
Just a small thing, but it got up my nose. lol
November 12th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
pretty sure angelina does all these charitable things in the world to make up for what a disease she is to the american society. pretty sure the woman has no conscience when it come to relationships not a fan and never will be. team JEN!
November 12th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
aww this woman is boring, and still using this to get notice! she is a nobody!! and nobody really cares about her, probably what she misses more is the attention she recieved with brad!! don´t be fooled by her! this is just publicity by using the hceting thing!! and why always atack angelina how about brad! no one mentions him!! always the woman gets it worst what a macho way of thinking!
November 12th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
“If people want to look for a bad guy in this hot mess, look to Brad. He took his pecker off to greener pastures”
LOL! Yes, he took his pecker to greener, STD infected pastures! AJ has made no secret of her sexual past! Hello, Billy Bob Thornton!
“This Team Aniston/ Team Jolie nonsense is tiring. Brad’s been with Angelina almost as long as he was married to Jen, and Aniston needs to stop whining already. Booooo.”
Maybe Jen could put it to rest if interviewers would stop asking about it 4 years later! And seriously, this is the first time she has gone on the record with any of it! And with regard to the Team Aniston/Team Jolie comment, aren’t you making it pretty obvious which team you are on???
November 12th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Oh, just get over it. What is the fasination with Jennifer Aniston?? Sure, she’s pretty but you can find tons of women who look just like her in California. They grow in trees…
I wish everyone would stop blaming Angelina for the whole thing. Brad left HER to be with Angie, but you don’t hear her still harping on what he did to HER. It’s been years, now. Move on.
And another thing.The girl can’t act. Period. She hasn’t done one decent film OR TV program since Friends. On the other hand, Angelina is doing fantastic work, and getting Oscar nominations (and has already won). No contest.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!
November 12th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
too bad the yoga won’t help her face get prettier
November 12th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
omg she is gorgeous. and i want that dog.
November 12th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
it’s just so funny how brainwashed all the angelina jolie fans are. she has you guys wrapped around her bony, adultering finger. she is the biggest publicity stunt in the world!!! she changed her image by donating to charity and adopting babies from third world countries and now everyone thinks she’s the second coming of Jesus Christ or something. the truth is that she’s a self-centered, egomaniacal adulterer who is trying to erase all her bad deeds with some very calculated good deeds. she’s nothing special and if she wasn’t good-looking NOBODY would give a crap about her. she’s nothing special and i wish people would stop worshipping her. no celebrity deserves to be put on a pedestal like this.
November 12th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
the truth is that people are so brainwashed and manipulated by jolie that they actually defend her for starting a relationship with a married man, and the woman wronged (jennifer aniston) is the one treated like a pariah and dragged through the mud. this would NEVER happen if any other celebrity was involved except jolie. the woman scorned always has the public’s support except in this case which is very very odd.
November 12th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
She is pretty, I dont always like her but she has great hair, I´ve always loved her hair.
Regarding the jolie-pitt thingy… she said so herself, “The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated…” The marriage was not working, long before Pitt and Jolie fell in love, there were a lot of comments about it back then. True, they did not wait until the “corpse” was cold but that is up to pitt and wether he was up for getting into a new relationship or not. Some people just don´t know how to be alone. I don´t think that Jolie stole anniston´s husband or that brangelina did her wrong. I just think anniston was hurting cos they split and soon after he was already with somebody else.. that hurts, no matter who you are.
November 12th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
I thought the whole affair was messed up. I dont know how people can claim that its 4yrs already and Aniston should be over it. No way. It was a major event in her life and people keep asking her questions about it. I would say a divorce is just as major as someone dying. Its different, yes, but still a major event. And then Aniston had to deal with it publicly. Jolie is a great advocate for so many causes but what she did was messed up and then opening up to a magazine. She fell in love-ok but she needs to keep that part private. The whole mess made me stop worshipping at the temple of Brad Pitt’s naked body. He was a jerk. A man who values marriage and what it means is worth more than Brad Pitt.
November 12th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
OMG I seriously LOVE that woman! To quote from FRIENDS (I really can’t help it) She doesn’t get older, she just gets better! You gotta give props to a woman who just lives her life in spite of what other think, say, or in most cases print about her. After how many years since their break-up I still cannot stand Angelina Jolie and how… smug she is about wrecking someone’s marriage. Not that maybe there weren’t already things going wrong, but still she pretty much had no problem admitting she set her sites on Pitt and went for it. Stupid b*tch. I still can’t watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith for fear I may harm my tv/dvd player. TEAM ANISTON FOREVER!!
November 12th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I LOVE YOU, JENNIFER ANISTON-PITT!!
anyone with half a mind would know, whether they admit it or not – that you are a cut above whoever your ex-husband is with now.
ALL CLASS.
November 12th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Let’s not forget it was Angelina who started this all up again – by talking in that recent interview about falling in love with Brad on set and how she “couldn’t wait to go to work each day” and “her children will one day get to watch their parents ‘fall in love’ on a movie set”. I think Angelina enjoys f*cking with Jennifer (through the media). Is Jennifer supposed to just not respond?
November 12th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
On a note not related to who is a better person (because who are we to judge? we don’t know them) does anyone know what kind of dog that is?!
November 12th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Oh God…a class act who doesn’t like personal life attention would’ve said “no comment.” I don’t think Angelina is f’ing with Jennifer via the media; Angelina is and will probably always be this honest woman who sometimes probably doesn’t think before she speaks…but she’s more concerned with the ways of the world that crap like this Team Jolie/Team Aniston isn’t any type of concern to her…Jen should never ever utter Brad’s name. EVER! She used to be known as an actress, and now she’s this pathetic ex-wife who speaks Mayerese. (Those of you who know John Mayer got it.)
What I HATE about this stupidity is that Brad is just this great guy in all of this, and Angelina is the homewrecker. Um, Jennifer, no…BRAD is the homewrecker. I hate cattiness between women! It’s why I’ll NEVER see a female president in my lifetime!
November 12th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
you can love angie no matter how sexy she is, but jennifer has so much more class. angie bragged to magazines about how she was so excited to go to work to see MARRIED Brad and that seemed terrible to say in a magazine to me while jennifer never said anything back or about her.. she is so classy
November 12th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
She looks sorta like Linda Hamilton (a la Terminator) in this pic…
November 12th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
Yes, Angelina LOVES to fuck with Jen via the media – it’s so true! She’s a whore and I can’t to see her & Brads relationship crumble – cuz it will! I don’t know when, but it’ll happen for sure.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
oh god jolie is a crazy woman that made out with her brother! Jen is AWESOME!
November 12th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I love Jen! I hate how in the divorce… Brad cheated on his wife and Angelina was a homewrecking whore, pardon my language… and yet the couple gets treated like a king and queen whilst everyone rags on jen. Jen did and has handled her life amazing. Though I don’t know the woman in real life… I dislike Angelina strongly.. yes she is a great goodwill ambassador, but i think she’s a lot of other not so great things and she gets too much credit, just because she has 6 kids, everyone thinks shes a saint……well she isnt.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
and to la princessa.. did you just say “brad is just a great guy in all of this” ARE YOU CRAZY.. HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE! when the whole world could see it.. yea a real nice guy. such bullshit. he was a prick and did an asshole thing.. but lets just bow down to him huh? he’s not even that good of an actor.. oscar will never go knocking on his door i guarantee you that! and Angelina is going to drop him one day, just like she does everything.. thats why she has so many kids.. she grows tired of the glamour one holds so she finds another to dress as a doll and parade around with.
November 12th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
She just seems so pathetic to me, all she does is whine about getting divorced over and over and over. When was the last time she gave an interview without mentioning it?
November 12th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Okay, I finally read the entire interview and I’m confused. How can Jen speak such glowing terms on someone (Brad) that supposedly “cheated” on her. It doesn’t make any sense. I have been cheated on too, and I’ve never held any of my cheating ex’s in a positive light. I’m really starting to think that she’s a liar. I mean, think about it. Jen talks about being proud of Brad, as if he didn’t do anything wrong. This leads me to believe that he really didn’t cheat on her. She really is contradicting herself. Oh, Jen, you really are pathetic.
November 12th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
I am SO glad that Jen FINALLY spoke out and also stood up for herself in this interview for a number of reasons. She did it Three years after the fact. She sounded pretty happy for Brad and Angelina. She said THE TRUTH about Angelina, who, ugh. I just do not like that woman! She is a TERRIFIC humanitarian, but she doesn’t seem to practice personal ethics. And she has to rub it in that her and Brad fell in love on set! She may be a great person, but she’s still a skanky ho. I have fallen out of lust with Brad too, he just grosses me out now :( Also, I’m glad Jen talked about how everyone thinks she’s a victim and it gets tired! I think its ridic to think that she’s STILL pining away after Brad or lonely- that girl is fine, she’s working, she’s going on vacations, she’s stepped out with many, hot men- her life seems pretty sweet! Go Jen! Get yo’ groove on!

I totally agree Casey. Jennifer is contradicting herself and a lot of blogs are commenting on that fact. Actually, there making fun of her. Have you checked Perez? He took quotes from Jen’s interviews and shows what a liar she is. America’s Sweetheart my ass!
Vogue 2008:
* What really rankled Aniston about the piece was that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how her relationship developed on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, while Aniston was still married to and living with Pitt. “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening,” says Aniston.
Vanity Fair 2005:
* “She wasn’t naïve,” says Aniston pal Kristin Hahn. “She’s not suggesting she didn’t know there was an enchantment, and a friendship [between Pitt and Jolie].”
* “I don’t think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her,” says Courteney Cox, who vacationed with her husband, David Arquette, and the Pitts on Anguilla just before they announced their separation. “There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don’t tell. At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction that he fought for a period of time.”
Vogue 2007, Angelina Jolie’s actual quote:
* “Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened. I think a few months in I realized, ‘God, I can’t wait to get to work.’ … Anything we had to do with each other, we just found a lot of joy in it together and a lot of real teamwork. We just became kind of a pair.”
Vogue 2008:
* “Well, it never was that bad,” she says, knowing that it will be hard for a lot of people to believe. “I mean, look, it’s not like divorce is something that you go, ‘Oooh, I can’t wait to get divorced!’ It doesn’t feel like a tickle. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s so vague at this point, it’s so faraway in my mind, I can’t even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn’t mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can’t talk to Jen and Jen can’t talk to Brad because this person won’t allow it. It just didn’t happen. The marriage didn’t work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other. Whoever said everything has to be forever, that’s setting your hopes too high.
Vanity Fair 2005:
* “Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I’ve thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely.
* “I don’t feel like a victim,” she says. “I’ve worked with this therapist for a long time, and her major focus is that you get one day of being a victim—and that’s it. Then we take responsibility for our own input. To live in a victim place is pointing a finger at someone else, as if you have no control. Relationships are two people; everyone is accountable. A lot goes into a relationship coming together, and a lot goes into a relationship falling apart.
* “There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing,” she says.
Vogue 2008:
* These days, the public fascination with her relationship with Vince Vaughn seems almost quaint. I ask her if there’s anything else to be said about that time. “I call Vince my defibrillator,” she says with genuine affection. “He literally brought me back to life
Vanity Fair 2005:
* When she arrived in Chicago to film The Break-Up, the gossip media, frantic for a new development, immediately plunged her into a torrid romance with her co-star, Vince Vaughn. This affair apparently does not exist.
* “I adore Vince Vaughn, but I’m not going out with Vince Vaughn,” she says. “I barely know the guy. We’ve exchanged a wine-and-cheese basket for the start of the movie, and we’ve gone out to dinner with the director and other people. We’ve got to get to know each other.”

Jen doesnt whine without anyone asking her.. and i dont think when people ask her questions about her divorce she whines about it. i think she handles it well.. how come when angelina comments on jen and brads divorce and the affair with brad.. no one bitches at her for it..How can you be self respecting women and take the side of a homewrecking slut.. you guys are great empowering women.
November 12th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Can’t stand Angelina AT ALL..Jen rules..Brad is a retard..end of story ;)

Jennifer fans are completely clueless fanboys. First of all, who cares. I don’t care who sleeps with who. But rehashing a relationship that died nearly 4 years ago is not a class act. It creates more publicity around another couple who already have 6 kids, and around herself as well. But she knows that.
She needs to build her self-esteem. Either she needs the publicity and sympathy or she needs to move on.

What I don’t understand is that how can you criticize someone else talking about their relationship when you’re doing the exact same thing? I don’t believe there was a physical relationship between Ang and Brad. I’m sure there was an undeniable physical attraction (how can there not be). But she definitely is playing a victim when she rehashes the story to perfect strangers and in the media.
This is getting tired. I get the feeling that Aniston is riding this for publicity. Otherwise, why talk about it? Not exactly a selfless act.

she looks really good in these pictures. angelina needs to stop talking about her and brad cause quite frankly, post people don’t even care anymore! brad’s ugly now, and they pop out lots of kids, we get it.

Okay…I love me some Angelina, AND Jen. But let me just say how stupid Jen now sounds. She says that “love happens” but she calls Angelina out when ‘love happened’ for them? And then she’s saying that Angelina was ‘uncool’ because she (Angelina) couldn’t wait to go to work? What is wrong with that?? That doesn’t mean they were together then. Oh! And THEN she disses SaTC because it’s about finding a man, etc. Has she ever watched the show? SaTC is definitely about relationships…with your GIRLS. This whole interview just really makes me not like Jen anymore. She is playing the victim, and it’s pathetic. I liked her better when she kept herself out of it. How silly.

um..jim… angelina talks about the affair and jen alot in the tabloids.. so get your facts straight.. usually jen is responding to something angelina has said.. and if they want a private life with their kids.. they could e asily have it… they live in a vineyard where there is no paparazzi… and because there was no pics of them in the press… they got brad to SEND the magazines pictures of their family to put into magazines.. ya now thats a couple who really wants to stay out of the public eye.. give me a break.. she is a press whore, who flaunts her kids for money and brad rides her coat tail..

I love Jennifer Aniston! She is so classy in everything she does.
November 13th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Angie-Pitt had six kids, great movies, traveled the world, donated to charities,and where good will ambassadors. What has Anniston done except fuck two losers, and made really bad movies no one even remembers. Of course she was going to mention Jolie in her interview otherwise none of us would have read the article. She is just NOT that interesting. Go team Jolie! Who wants Jessica Simpsons leftovers anyways? Yeah Jen sure has class.

Angie just said that in the interview cuz she wanted to get to her. She was like….”Yeah B!@$H I TOOK YO MAN!!!
Don’t worry Jen…..after she finish popping out all those babies he’ll coming crawling back!
