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."

Ever heard of PROOFREADING for typos?

[joneser23]

Each of you realize that these people are just actors, right? Which basically makes them very attractive strangers that people only think they know. So, who cares?

[blueeyedredhead]

I like Jen, Brad and Angelina. But Angelina puts forth an image of being very straight forward with everyone, including the media. So why did she wait so long to admit that she had an affair with Brad. Even if she sticks to her claim of it not being sexual until he made his decision..­.there were all those photos of him at the beach with her and Maddox, and jaunting off to exotic places together. That is still cheating, and you can't tell me they were not having sex. Come on.

I dont' know why Angelina had to drag this whole thing up again. We all knew they had an affair and I'm sure Jen was horrified and disgusted at the time. I am so sure if Brad had an affair while being with Angelina, she would just love for that person to go on TV and talk about how giddy they were over each other and how they tried to hide it but it was just so hard because the attraction was just so strong. Yeah. We all love hearing that crap.

Jen does need to stop talking about this and move on. A simple "You know, I'm not affected by what has been said lately. I've moved on and if it makes Angelina feel better admiting this, then good for her. I"m very happy with my life and excited about exploring new loves of my own."

[wyndrider]

Pure and simple - Brad wanted kids, Jen did not

[katedog]

Pure and simple - you weren't in this relationship so you can only speculate. Period.

[webstersmommy]

And you know that how?

[SekhmetHathor]

Try google sometime, everyone knows that.

[auramac]

She was better off keeping quiet. We all know what happened.

[redhed515]

Angelina Jolie has the scariest arms I've ever seen.

[DixieMelody]

Have you ever seen Sylvester Stallone's?

They both have those big rope-like veins.

[twokidsonecat]

That's because she has no fat, muscle or otherwise - just bone and veins. It's kinda gross.

[maceov]

Poor Jennifer, still in so much pain over her loss... (not joking here, I feel for her)

Remember my mantra, Jen, "forgive, forget and move forward...­"

As painful as that can sometimes be, it is the healthiest, most beneficial thing that you can do for yourself from this point forward.

Truly, cheating on your spouse is uncool, and Angelina rubbing it in your face even moreso. As much as I enjoy Angelina's movies, this I've seen clearly.

But there comes a point where we really must move on from the painful memories of the past or we'll never actually go anywhere, stuck in one spot, spinning our wheels and dwelling on the pain instead of looking and actually moving forward to a brighter, happier, healthier future.

[SadGoat]

Seriously Jen.......­..........­........st­ill waiting for that call!! I'll be home all day!

[batmanindy]

Who is Jennifer Aniston?

[SadGoat]

My god, Jennifer Aniston is too hot for words!! Hey Jen....cal­l me!!!!

[OGoodGrief]

Jennifer Aniston has made herself more famous for divorcing Brad Pitt than for anything she's done as an actress. Every article I've read about her since the breakup ALWAYS says something about Pitt, Jolie or Aniston's divorce.

She either loves to play the victim or hasn't really gotten over the relationship yet. In either case, it says she needs more therapy otherwise when asked by reporters, she would be saying "no comment" or "I don't talk about that any longer."

It's too bad she's let her life be defined by this one event.

[zelduh]

Jen HAS moved on. It is the press that cannot get over the break-up.

If they stopped asking her about it, she would be totally fine. Don't put YOUR expectations on Jen.

She is very VERY smart - and she does not dwell. If only the press could move on. This is what she told the reporter after the recorder was turned off.

[Hagar7]

Jennifer Aniston is the star, and she's enough of one so that she can control the direction of the interview and dictate which questions she will and will not answer. She is not under any obligation to answer any questions that she finds offensive or too painful to talk about. I'm with GoodGrief on this one; if she really wants this to be over and done with, it's time to stop taking questions on Brangelina. And, like magic, the press will stop asking them.
If she is concerned about falling out of the public eye, she should consider doing something newsworthy that has nothing to do with her romantic life. For all that they may have done wrong by Ms. Aniston, 95% of Brangelina's press coverage has nothing to do with her -- it has to do with their philanthro­py/politic­s, their adoptions/family, or their acting. It's worth a second thought.

[DCinFrance]

Pretty cold, that. Been married and divorced a lot?

[chf2go]

I have always preferred Angelina over Jen. Angelina is comfortable in her own skin and confident. She doesn't need a man to validate her.

Why if she has moved on, does she even see a need to comment on her ex and his new life? She comes across as likeable, but neurotic and lacking in confidence to even mention her ex's new wife. Jen, you are successful, beautiful and you are divorced. Move on. They have 6 kids together and while they may have fallen in love on the movie set, they both said they didn't act on their feelings until Brad finished it with Jen. Why is that so hard to believe? Brad seems like a decent person. No one can steal your husband from you. If he is yours, there is no way another woman can take him.

[artistbb]

If I looked like Angelina I would be comfortable in my own skin too.
However, to be real here, she is not entirely her "own skin". She has mega silicon in both lips and breasts...­.just look at her photos from before she became a movie star.
However, if one looks beyond the surface, Angelina certainly is a deeper person, concerned about the ills of the world, Africa in particular and is admirable for that alone. I think Ms. Aniston is too caught up in the small world of Hollywood and doesn't care much outside of that little environ. Pretty shallow.

[Bostongirl1]

Her lips are natural there are pictures of here as a child with them. And if her bre ast were fake would she be able to bre ast feed? I'm seriously asking the question not being a smart a s s.

[lunchlady]

I disagree with your view of husband stealing. The lure of fresh romance and sexual variety is strong, and the other grass can seem greener pretty fast after the daily drudgery of sharing a household sinks in. Some people need the excitement level to stay high and they fall out of love as soon as a better bet comes along. Whatever guilt they might feel when they think of bailing out on a faithful partner they committed to just can't compete with the flood of endorphins they feel with the New Love. This is how someone can go through a dozen significant others. It seems incredibly stressful and nasty to me, even if there aren't children involved.

Celebrities also seem to realize that keeping their personal lives sensational keeps them in the news and keeps the paparazzi coming around in, because the public is more interested in a train wreck than domesticity and partnership. And that means more attention and more money and more access to the other rich and famous people. Everything Angelina has done has increased her wealth, fame, and access to the rich and famous. I will give her credit for her efforts for world humanitarianism, but I also suspect that she is aware of how good it is for her image and even gives her access to world leaders.

[Difference 4yr ago]

Brad has been with Angelina much longer than he was with Jen. So why Brad isn't going after another woman now? Your theory of "the other grass" doesn't seem to work here.

Besides, if Jen had a good relationship with Brad, you think they would break up? Angelina just gave Brad the reason to leave Jen. Jen and Brad had physically separated long before that.

[arizonastudent01]

Hmm from what I heard from an Oprah psychologist, (Jen is O's friend) you must appreciate your man. Jen dear, it is your own fault and your Brad as well. It takes two to ruin a relationship. You did not appreciate your man and he didn't appreciate you. You went your seperate ways. Now get over yourself and them. They are happy and have beautiful children and even beautiful children they didn't conceive!!! Jen dear, get on with your life or you will be 60 in 10 years and still yammering about beautiful Angie and Brad! Of which maybe they won't be together and I don't think Brad will ever come back to you.

[MeritRs]

Hollywood is built on sin. Look around TV ads, Television shows and movies are over the top, and this is what we expose our children to pollution. Instead of raising doctors or great man and woman to be leaders in our world we are glorying rock stars, movie stars, models and filth. The younger stars are not role models; look, how Lindsey Logan turns out now a lesbian and recent they said she was bi-sexual. What message does this send our children? In addition, Madonna one of many piggy's in Hollywood on the planet, does not allow her children to watch TV. Lots of good hard working Americans are disgusted.
Maybe if Aniston give Brad a child that he wanted instead of moving on to Movies after her TV show ended she would not have been in that situation - Greed, Fame, Money - all part of Hollywood minds.
If they believed in God they would be better people - that's not going to happen they already lost their souls. Can they get them back? Only God knows. I would not want that life.

[newpotusplease]

does anybody have any thoughts about what Jennifer said about Carrie Bradshaw and Sex and the City-- that she hates those characters etc.?

does anybody have any thoughts about the fact that the guy who wrote this article made a dig at Angelina in the first paragraph when he said Jennifer doesn't need to get a tattoo or a reinvented image etc.?--he also another article about Angelina Jolie several months ago, guess he didn't like Angie much.

For the record Jennifer gives to charity- St. Jude's Children's Hospital etc.

and Angelina does her UNICEF work

I really liked Jen when she was on Friends, but I really didn't care for any of her movies (with the exception of Friends with Money). She's a fantastic comedy actress and hopefully will decide to do another TV show. I'm more interested in the whole Jen vs Angelina stuff than I should be, but I'm firmly in Jen's camp. I've always thought Angelina was just weird and kind of creepy (remember when she french kissed her brother- yuck and totally gross). I somehow doubt that Brangelina have a fairytale romance.
