Jennifer Aniston has romantic comedy “Marley and Me” out
this month and she is working hard to promote her film, co-starring Owen
Wilson, including posing naked, rehashing Jolie-Pitt frustrations and gushing
about boyfriend John Mayer.
We could consider Jennifer Aniston is doing co-star Owen
Wilson a favor by carrying promotion for the film mostly on her own. One can
only imagine Wilson
is in no mood to answer repeated questions about his, thankfully unsuccessful,
suicide attempt in August 2007.
So Jennifer Aniston is doing all that hard work of promoting
“Marley & Me,” out on Christmas Day. Take for instance her interview for
the January edition of GQ magazine, on newsstands December 23. And the cover,
which shows the actress completely naked save for a necktie and a wide smile.
Who’s thinking about the missing Owen Wilson anymore once
you set your eyes on all that gratuitous nudity?
Then there is what Jennifer Aniston (still) has to say about
her ex-husband Brad Pitt and his partner of three years Angelina Jolie. You would
think that by now she is tired of being tabloid fodder and knows better than to
make statements which will unavoidably be dissected and reinterpreted in every
which way. Apparently not.
She tells GQ there is such a thing as the “insane Bermuda
Triangle,” comprised of stories related to her, Pitt and Jolie. She does not
add that she contributes heavily to this crazy place as well.
She does contribute though on the spot, admitting 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.
Then again, Aniston’s opinion of Jolie is, we have learned
by now, not high. She told Vogue magazine for its December issue that Jolie’s
revelations to the New York Times in July, that she and Pitt fell in love while
filming “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (and while Pitt was still married) were very “uncool.”
This of course was of great interest to the media. A month
later, Aniston still feels the need to discuss Jolie and Pitt, telling GQ that
there were “No daggers through the heart” upon learning of the beginning of
their relationship.
She also throws in a dagger of her own, commenting, “Am I
surprised? Well, how do I say this?… Considering the source, nothing surprises
me.”
She reiterates that she and Pitt still talk to each other,
especially when there is reason to congratulate or celebrate and squeezes in a
joke about how 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...”
Whoa there. Pitt is certainly not going to appreciate the
names of his children popping up in Aniston’s chatter.
