Whether dressed up in a sexy red dress on the cover of Vogue
magazine or a stripy necktie on the cover of GQ, however hard she tries – or
maybe she doesn’t – former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston just won’t stop
yapping about ex-hubby Brad Pitt and partner Angelina Jolie.
Sometimes it’s useful to just let some things go. Pass. Be
done with. Like for example any mention of your ex-husband who is now happily
living with another woman and their beautiful six children. Especially if it
has been a good four years since you divorced him and you don’t want people to
refer to you as “poor lonely Jen.”
Last month, Jennifer Aniston tickled a hornets’ nest when
she appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine with the caption “What Angelina did
was very uncool,” referring to her erstwhile rival’s confession that she and
Brad Pitt fell in love while filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and while he had not
yet ended his seven-year marriage to Aniston.
In the interview, she praised her ex-husband profusely,
while delicately bashing Jolie and made a point of commenting that the “whole
‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing” is unnecessary as she personally feels she has been
“unbelievably lucky in love.”
She went on to gush over boyfriend John Mayer’s qualities
and talents and discussed former boyfriend Vince Vaughn.
Of course, her “uncool” comments were the talk of the town
for a while and Aniston later said Vogue had put that quote on the cover
without her knowing it. She only wants peace and quiet right?
This contradicts the January issue of GQ magazine, out on
newsstands December 23, where the nearly 40-year-old is supposedly promoting
her upcoming romantic comedy “Marley & Me” but instead shows off a lot of
skin and once again talks about Pitt and Jolie.
What to begin with? She poses on the cover in the nude, with
a masterly placed knee and only a tie around her slender neck, smiling
gleefully and showing off her perfect tan. Inside, she is shown posing with two
similarly naked male models, still happy, still adorned with the necktie.
Necessary? We all know she looks great. Is this supposed to make people want to
see her act?
Then there are the comments about the Jolie-Pitts, again,
only this time venturing into more tumultuous waters, as she makes an attempt
at a joke. Nobody suspects they actually all go to the Hamptons on the weekends. “Can you imagine?
That’d be hysterical. I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox...”
Yet she and Jolie do not talk to each other, “No. Nuh-uh.”
Neither are they likely to do so in the near future, she suggests. And yes,
there is such a phenomenon called the “insane Bermuda Triangle,” comprised of
stories related to her, Pitt and Jolie.
The obligatory bit on Mayer: she didn’t know who he was
before she fell in love with him but he is an “extraordinary musician” – “It’s
kind of like, whoa!”
