Jennifer Aniston On Angelina: "Uncool" And "Inappropriate"

UPDATE: Watch Aniston Talk Angelina On Oprah

Jennifer Aniston is on the December 2008 cover of Vogue (READ WHOLE THING HERE) and speaking out about Angelina Jolie.

Aniston asked the reporter, Jonathan Van Meter, to turn off the tape recorder when first asked about her ex-husband Brad Pitt's partner. Here's what she did say on the record:

On being bothered that Angelina recounted a detailed timeline of how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith: "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss. That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.

On if she ever speaks to Brad: "[We've exchanged] a few very kind hellos ... and congratulations on your babies... [We] had an amicable split ... The marriage didn't work out."

More the marriage:

"The marriage didn't work out... 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."

Anistonays she's been "unbelievably lucky in love," but adds, "Whoever said everything has to be forever," she says. "That's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself ... that's unattainable."

On her romance with John Mayer: "People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense? Love just shows up....

"It's funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize [that] 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."

On when Mayer bragged about dumping her: "Trust me, you'll never see that happen again from that man."

I wouldnt be surprised if Angelina has a little girlfriend on the side, and I always wondered about George and Brad. They seem to be together alot. Come on people, think about it!!

[bilsha1413]

Jolie has said in interviews that she is bisexual and has long acknowledged that she had a sexual relationship with her Foxfire (1996) co-star Jenny Shimizu, "I would probably have married Jenny if I hadn't married my husband. I fell in love with her the first second I saw her. In 2003, asked if she was bisexual, Jolie responded, "Of course. If I fell in love with a woman tomorrow, would I feel that it's okay to want to kiss and touch her? If I fell in love with her? Absolutely! Yes!

Brad is just a glorified sperm donor!!!!

[disgusted48]

too much information

[Julie02]

Aniston said something off the cuff that Vogue put on the cover as if it were the subject of the story. How tacky.

[Wanjiru]

...I constantly read articles about how beautiful Jen is, or how stunning Angelina is...

...is everyone else looking at different pictures of these women, that are not available to me???...

...I just don't see it in either of them...

...and I've looked real long and hard...sometimes staring at their pictures for prolonged amounts of time, without blinking!!...

egads!

For those who bash Angelina for "stealing husband"... since love is blind, we can't control who we fall in love with, why would you attack someone for falling in love.

Besides, Brad didn't have a physcially relationship with Jen at the time since they were both taking films 3000 miles apart. Angelina just gave Brad a reason to quickly end the "fake relationship".

If you have to blame someone, blame Brad, he is the one who didn't end the old relationship soon enough.

[bogeygurl]

You are correct in that you can't control who you fall in love with. You can, however, control how you handle it. In other words, you don't go out and mess with a married man.

[trinity29]

it was interesting that Jen at first said to Opra h that she didn't say what was on the cover of the magazine and then admitted that she did say it and it wasn't taken out of context but that she was being honest about her feelings when Opr ah said that she respected the reporter who did the story.

was it in bad taste for angie to announce to the whole world that they were falling for each other on the movie sets of mr. and mrs. smith? if you are jen, hell yeah, because it is painful to hear no matter what the state of their marriage was.

if jen understands that negativity sells magazines, then I wonder why she is participating in it. there are many ways she can tell angie that she was being uncool. jen certainly has a right to think that. but she should know by now that the magazines and the tabloids love to blow things out of proportion and if she feeds into it, it paints a picture of her as someone who is still trying to sort out her pain of her failed marriage. I dont know about others, but that kind of pain is so private, that i wouldn't want the world to exploit me if indeed i was still trying to sort it out and then have to see magazines selling just because i said it out loud.

[SekhmetHathor]

What I find "very uncool" and "inappropriate" is a woman going around running her mouth about her ex's new woman. Get over it Jen, Brad has a family now and bashing on his wife will not bring him back to you. Grow up.

[Difference 4yr ago]

well said !

all Jen cares is "me me me..."

[businesshugs]

what I find uncool are people commenting o other peoples lives...you dont know her, and you dont know what shes been trough....if you have ever been cheated on you know how humiliating it feels...now imagine that but going through it publicly....
why are women always so catty?

[osusana]

Good grief - does Vogue not employ editors any more???

[RobHughey]

Apparently not. It seems this was just typed up in a rush and slapped online and on the stands.

...or is that not what you meant? :-)

[Hechizera]

Vogue hasn't had a decent editor since Diane Vreeland retired years ago. Anna Wintour has ruined the magazine. I just canceled my subscription.

[clsmithj]

I was once a Angelina fan, but this magazine pic has made notice that Jennifer Aniston is really an attractive woman.

I just wonder why do guys break up with her so quickly.

[Hechizera]

Would you want to date anyone who carries around as much emotional baggage as she does?

Not to mention clingy, whiny, demanding and controlling, and a mental lightweight. If you tried to have a serious conversation with her, what could she talk about? Angelina can talk about the Darfur situation and impress the Council on Foreign Relations. If you mentioned Darfur to Aniston, she'd probably say "What's that?"

[momforbetterworld]

They are both attractive but I have to say I sense Angelina and Brad share more on a soul level

[Hagar7]

I think even the most confident guy might have reservations about a woman whose news coverage these days primarily comes from public discussions of conflict with her ex-husband and his new woman and family. Obviously she's still got issues on that front, and who knows how they manifest themselves in private.

[repugnicansfearme]

Dang Girl!! I want this cover shot for my screensaver. Meow meow.

[marymansour]

Jennifer Aniston comes off as being a very nice and genuinely talented woman. She had a rocky road to travel when her hubby left her and gravitated toward the lippy Jolie. That twosome has gotten a lot of ink with their births, adoptions, etc. It must have really hurt Aniston, especially is she was infertile. I think she has done well containing her pain and saying d@mn little about it.

[trinity29]

if jennifer has talent, it has not translated well in her career. Friends was an ensemble cast and many people played a role in its success, including Jen of course. She had a minimal role in Office space and her performance was adequate in Friends with Money. Apart from that most of her movies has some sort of Rachel-like character that she plays.

its not that jen cannot say anything about her pain. its who she says it to. if she says it to tabloids and magazines then her private emotions become a matter of public discourse. i would think that it would be more painful to sort out your emotions publicly rather than privately.

[OKSunny]

no matter what you think about the situation, Angelina basically admitted to adultery. I wonder how her children will feel about this when they are old enough to read it, Shameful Ang.....

[DarleenMB]

horsepuckey. Admitting you fell in love with someone is NOT the same as saying you had sex with them which is, in fact, the definition of "adultery."

this is nonsense. Brad and Jen broke up because he wanted kids, she didn't. end of it.

[Kayem]

She has said in earlier interviews that she was attracted by the fact that Brad Pitt would not and did not cheat on his wife. She was hurt very badly by her father's infidelity with her mother.

[trinity29]

brad and jennifer were separated for 9 months when he was working with angie. what angie said was that she was caught off guard when she found that she was falling for brad. they both said that they didnt start anything at the time. jen said she believes brad. courtney cox says the same too. how come you are saying something different. do you have some other evidence that the rest of us dont have?

[Unwit]

How many YEARS has Aniston's marriage to Pitt been over? He's got a new wife and six kids with her. Can she and we just let it go? It's in the past, and really none of Aniston's business unless she just now realizes she needs to get tested for STD's. At any rate, it's none of our business.

[Hechizera]

Of course she can't let it go. She has a movie to promote, doesn't she?

If she ever let this idiotic triangle go, she'd fade into oblivion so fast you couldn't see anything but air. She's not an actress. She's too old to be America's sweetheart any more. So all that's left for her is being The Woman Who Got Dumped By Brad Pitt.

[Kayem]

Amen! It was boring the first time around. How long can this go on? And who cares? GET OVER IT.

[Hagar7]

Thank you! As I posted earlier, if she really didn't want to talk about this any more, she wouldn't, but if she stopped talking about it, she'd risk dropping out of the public eye because the two things she's most famous for to this day are "Friends" and getting her man snaked by Angelina Jolie.

[Hagar7]

You know, I have a good friend who lost her cheating husband to another woman. It nearly killed her. But she's moved on with her life, and she managed to do it without millions and millions of dollars and magazine covers and a string of high-profile celebrity boyfriends. What happened to Jennifer Aniston is sad, but it happens to all kinds of people who don't have the blessings that she has, and they somehow manage to get over it. My friend went into therapy, and she doesn't talk about her husband and his new wife, even though their social circles intersect. Ms. Aniston could take the same approach -- she's famous enough so that she could tell reporters that she'll do interviews but she won't take questions on that topic -- but she hasn't. So I guess I'm kind of tired of hearing her go on and on about this slight and that quote however many years after the fact. I think she enjoys putting on that trembling stiff upper lip act and it's become somewhat tiresome.

[njflygirl]

I don't understand why anyone cares? Take away Anistons hair and she looks like a dude. Yuck

[redhed515]

Well, any dude who has jugs like that has a serious hormone problem.

[rhubardpi]

If she is a dude then color me .....way gay.
