Jennifer Aniston Does British ‘Elle’ Magazine
Jennifer Aniston is featured on the cover and in the pages of the April issue of British Elle magazine which, the magazine contends, is her first UK interview in over 2 years. Of course British Elle magazine asks her the expected questions about her ex-husband Brad Pitt but, unsurprisingly, she offers no new information to the magazine … in fact, she flat out refuses to offer any information at all … at least on the Brad Pitt front. Here is Jen’s coverphoto for the UK mag and a portion of her coverstory interview:
ELLE’s Avril Mair speaks exclusively to Jennifer Aniston about everything from her body to Brad. “No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though I won’t let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and over. I don’t owe anybody anything. I don’t owe anybody my side of the story. There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It’s just not the case.” Jennifer Aniston finally sets the record straight. She’s moved on, and is happier than ever. “I remind myself every day that I am lucky. Look what’s out there. Look what people are really living through. There’s no comparison. I am happy” reveals the actress who turned forty last month, but looks a decade younger with the help of Neutrogena soap, regular facials and an obsession with applying sunscreen. “I’m a realist,” she says. “I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips, I’m not going to be hired for the parts I normally would. That might be fine one day, but not right now.” And right now she playing the lead opposite Owen Wilson in Marley and Me, a film that has already proved a smash hit in the U.S. Though romantic comedies are her bread and butter Jennifer tells ELLE she’s love to get more physical in a film, “I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles,” she says, with a slight roll of the eyes. “I’d love to do an action movie. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! Shit-loads of fun!” With her bikini body, surely its only a matter of time.
Hahahaha! I love how disinterested she looks on the cover … you can really tell that she wanted to do this interview. I mean, I guess I don’t blame her for clamming up about her ex-husband. It must be terribly frustrating to constantly be tied to your ex-husband and his new family. At least she could pretend that she cares tho. I guess what I don’t understand is how a person can continue to court the public’s favor in order to promote a new project but in the process of the promoting look as if you’d rather be somewhere else … or, even worse, get pissed off when public actually pays attention to your every move. Celebs can be so funny sometimes. In any event, this issue of Elle magazine goes on sale in the UK on Wednesday. Interested Brits lookin’ to read more pearls of wisdom from Ms. Aniston might want to take note. I, for one, think I’ve heard enough.

This is ridiculous! She either says something and people jump all over her for keeping the love triangle alive or she doesn’t and you think she’s not interested! And you can tell this from a look she’s giving in her photo?
And I find it funny that a lot of other sites are criticizing her for talking about it again.
Either way, she’s damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t.

YAWN!
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Isn’t this Brad Pitt thing a little…”Old Newsish” by now? Why do people keep badgering her about it.
It’s time for all of the parties to move on…
I think they all need to sit down together over lunch somewhere relatively public…a little fuel to the fire that says we are OK with life wont hurt a soul.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
I don’t think she should have to expect that promoting for her new movie should require her to spill non-news on her ex-husband for the millionth time. I think it’s safe to say they have both shared all they will ever share and that’s more than they ever had to in the first place. I wouldn’t even call what she did ‘clamming’ up…I think she literally has nothing more to say on the subject.
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
I’m so over the her/Brad/Angie fiasco.
btw- her eyes look creeeeepy
March 2nd, 2009 at 2:30 pm
LEAVE JEN ALONE!
Her problem isn’t the public, it’s the shitty tabs and the hacks who can’t stop talking shit about her, Jen loves her fans and they love her.
Trent I am very disappointed that you seem to have turned against her. :(
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
She can’t catch a break.She said nothing about them.Leave her alone.I happen to love this woman. She is happy with John and all the other crap is in the past.She refused to talk about it and as she said she’s owes nobody an explanation! It’s over-the triangle is dead.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:27 pm
“I don’t owe anybody my side of the story”
Then why the f**k did she do a big cover story feature interview with Vanity Fair telling her “side of the story” in the September 2005 issue????
God! Just, just go away Jennifer. Go have your baby with that sperm donor of a boyfriend of yours and leave us alone!
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:42 pm
She should smile less… it somehow makes her face easier to look at.
March 2nd, 2009 at 3:50 pm
err canuck I don’t see why she should go away, people love her, it’s Bradley and his ho that should fuck off for a long long time, and leave us the fuck alone, plus what was ok in 2005 and what is ok now are two different things, she is sIck and tired of being asked this fucking questions, she happy with John and I don’t see why she should be asked about morticia and her pet over and over again.
leave her the fuck alone.
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:06 pm
Well, let’s see… 2005 is way different than 2009. DUH!
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:30 pm
She’s quite pretty but she’s a horrible actress. Every movie she played different role but always the same act, always the rachel green. It gets old.
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I think she handled that question perfectly, considering that she has probably been asked it thousands of times by now. Seriously. I don’t think that she is getting “pissed off that the public is paying attention to her every move” just because she doesn’t want to talk about Brad anymore. Seriously! It’s done, it’s over, she’s moved on, she’s doing great. What do you expect of her?!
March 2nd, 2009 at 4:58 pm
@lyndyloo: At least Morticia has talent. And the “Pet” wouldn’t have gone elsewhere if he was happy in his marriage.
Had it not been for “the triangle” Aniston’s career would’ve tanked long ago.
I agree with lontegold, she’s rachel green in every role.
March 2nd, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Look at those eyes!
March 2nd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
I definitely do not blame her for not wanting to talk about it anymore. Talk about beating a dead horse.
Who would want to talk about their ex and the new family over and over again? She didn’t say anything for the longest time, and then she did one interview to answer all those questions, and people still can’t let it go.
Move on people, she has!
March 2nd, 2009 at 5:48 pm
God she’s absolutely beautiful!
<3 Jen!
March 2nd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I think shes just posing, I dont think shes actually bored.
And I would get frustrated too-for so long she said nothing and people were pissed, and when recently made a joke about it people told her she needed to “let it go.” I think shes actually very happy, and being seen as this poor woman left by her husband for angie must be so annoying.
go jen!
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:19 pm
i think she looks really good. a lot better than most twenty something actresses. She seems like a normal person, if normal people were that beautiful.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
I don’t get how you think she looks disinterested. She looks pretty good to me. .
honestly ppl will always bash her and portray her as wanting attention and not being able to put things behind. but for freaks sake – she’s a movie star out there to promote her movies , that’s why she’s on all these magazines such as vanity fair of which she probably got sick of all the questions and just decided to answer some questions which she probably didn’t think was too big a deal. she probably thought it was ok to be considerate and easy to work with for the magazine, only to have it on the front cover. do you think she sits there asking for ppl to dig up her past relationships? put ur self in her shoes, why on earth would ppl wanna talk about something like that? I don’t know anyone who would want all the attention on a divorce to be rehashed again and again. i’m so sick of ppl talking badly of her.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:40 pm
She doesn’t look disinterested at all. I think she looks stunning. It’s just her pose. I don’t blame her for not wanting to talk about Brad anymore. She’s totally right about everything she says being taken out of context. I would be irritated, too, and I would’ve given the same answer she did. Sure, she discussed it when the divorce was fresh, but even then, she never went into detail..just explained how she was handling everything. But now? 4-5 years later and she’s still getting badgered about it? Come on. Talk about something else. You can only be asked the same questions so many time before you blow up.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:44 pm
That’s not fair. NO matter what she says or what she does people hark on her and constantly say that she’s not over brad over whatever. It’s the public that can’t get over it, not her.I like her and I wish people would stop badgering her.
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:49 pm
and please ppl, if you are going to compare talent/acting then don’t use her relationship with her ex-husband as a measuring tool. just because angie is better at acting gives her the green light to discard someone’s marriage?
Jen maybe type cast but if you are going to speak in regards to her marriage, she did nothing wrong. everyone has ups and downs and when you make that vow..i would think that means something. i for one think angie/brad should be the ones getting all the heat not jen..why is it that the person who did the least damage/harm to others always gets torn YEARS later..ppl shut the f up
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:52 pm
She’s a nice decent person, who never asked to be roped into a threesome … Her publicist needs to ban who-ever is interviewing her in furture, from asking questions about ‘those other two’. I don’t understand how they get the chance? Interviewers are often told (in uncertain terms) that certain subjects are off limits …
March 2nd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Correction: (in NO uncertain terms)
March 2nd, 2009 at 10:11 pm
I am SO sick of hearing about Jennifer Anniston, Angelina and Brad Pitt. They are ALL soooooooo mind numbingly boring.
March 3rd, 2009 at 2:32 am
It is time to move on from Team Jen and Team Brad its over!!! I love Jen, but I just can’t see her doing a action movies I just think that would be weird!! Andelina now she is the BEST action movie actress.
March 3rd, 2009 at 3:17 am
I think it is tasteless for anyone to expect her to continue to talk about the man who cheated on her and the woman he cheated with. Ugh. She has the right to move on and be able to promote movies without going through something that was painful. Let her move on.
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:08 am
They need to quit asking her about Brad. Besides being a very personal thing that she shouldn’t have to discuss, it happened YEARS ago. Jen is more than the previous wife of Brad Pitt.
March 3rd, 2009 at 6:19 am
I think that it is pretty unfair for people like you, Trent, to critisize her every move, every word, every expression, etc etc. I noticed for a long time that when it comes to Jen Aniston’s news, you tend to put her in a bad light. I love you, Trent. But I do think that you should cut her some slack.
March 3rd, 2009 at 9:49 am
Are you kidding me???????? Maybe I’m alone here but, one way to not talk about it (whatever it may be)… Is to NOT TALK ABOUT IT. ?? Very unhealthy. Once decisions are made, we all have to move on. Why stoop down and prove that whatever decision another person made *right or wrong* was in fact ‘justified’???

@ canuck
She did not write that article or title it. I don’t think either Brad, Angelina, or Jen are trying to keep this non-triangle going and I honestly don’t understand why the media is STILL going on about this or why on earth people are blaming it on Jen or Brad or Angelina(although she did put her foot in it when she said she and Brad fell in love while he was still married-get a publicist, honey).
They panned to Angelina during the Oscar’s while Jen was on stage for goodness sakes. It is ALL the media and I applaud Jen’s statement in this magazine. She has moved passed it all and wants to get out of the shadow of “BRANGELINA.”
Jen and Angelina are night and day so there is NO point in comparing them. One of the things I love about Jen is the fact that she isn’t “gorgeous.” Aside from her amazing body she has a face that you’d see on the street. She’s the girl next door that you wouldn’t necessarily look twice at.
Everyone does not love every aspect of their job or career, Trent. To use a sad example, Heath Ledger, you could tell he LOVED to act, but watching him in interview, you could tell he would rather be anywhere but there. Why shouldn’t she or any actor or actress get pissed when we want to dig into something that was painful, personal, and in the past? What does her divorce from years ago and how she’s doing have to do with her movies or her career?
WE created this aspect of their careers and I can see how invasive and incredibly annoying it must be. They don’t have to be happy about it and I don’t think they have to plaster a smile on as though the amount of money they make makes having their photo taken by several paps while they are in sweats and drinking coffee tolerable.
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
she is not getting “pissed off when public actually pays attention to your every move” because there are no “moves”. This story has been dead for years. Get over it. She has…
March 3rd, 2009 at 5:45 pm
I had a firsthand encounter with how WRONG the media is to poor Jen – I saw her like 2 years ago in NYC when she did that “24 Hour Plays” benefit on Broadway – I was thrilled to get tickets b/c I adore her. It was a fairly small function, so we were even able to get into the afterparty at a nearby bar (and I am no hipster, just a regular person lol). But let me backtrack – When Jen exited the theatre, the paparazzi absolutely ATTACKED her. She was shielding herself from their out of control aggressiveness. They were literally fighting and climbing over one another to get to her, and I seriously thought she was going to get hurt. I know other people got hurt, for sure. I was AMAZED at what I was seeing, it was worse than I ever would have imagined. Jen was as cordial as she could be while still protecting her safety. She didn’t utter a word as she slipped into the waiting car. The next day – I hear news reports about how Jen was “cursing at paparazzi”, “being a total bitch” etc etc – to which people started commenting similarly to what a lot of you people are writing right now “she doesn’t appreciate her fans” or whatever – meanwhile – none of it was even true! She didn’t curse at anyone! It was completely made up. I couldn’t believe it. It made me so mad, that they were just painting her as something she’s not, just to sell their “news”. And there’s nothing she can do to dispute it – so why bother trying. She’s doing her best just like everybody else. AND just as a side note – at the bar afterwards, Jen went out of her way to say hello to little old ME. I was the total dork with the “Team Aniston” tee on, and she saw it, and yes, she did appreciate a fan, and made my day :)

she does look beautiful.
