Jennifer Aniston On Being "The Lonely Girl"

Jennifer Aniston strikes a sexy, open shirtl pose for the September Elle and says she doesn't mind that her romantic history has left her known as "the lonely girl."

"If I'm the emblem for 'this is what it looks like to be the lonely girl getting on with her life,' so be it. I can make fun of myself. And I'll bring it up as long as the world is bringing it up," she told the mag.

"I'm not going to ignore the pink elephant in the living room," the 40-year- old cracked. "It's fine. I can take it," she says.

She also says she has always relied on humor.

"I remember being 7 and asking my mom if I was as pretty as [my best friend] Monique," she recalls. "And with all the love in the world, my mom looked at me and said, 'Oh, honey, you're so funny.' So, she doesn't lie to me . . . She answers the question by not answering and instead tells me what she thinks is my greatest strength."

Me thinks she is getting desperate.

[Badgirl]

Me thinks Ms Aniston's got a new movie coming out.

[Badgirl]

...ANOTHER new movie...

[RandyJones]

Jen, just what is the purpose of your posing semi-nude in numerous mags??? YAWN!!

Just do something new like showing it all.

[AsISaid]

She's a beautiful and successful woman. More power to her.

[cinnamonlady]

Here's the real reason J&B brokeup...

(I feel so relieved to know the truth!)

[TigersEye]

Finally! Call People magazine, the resident butt kissing Brangie tabloid, ha ha!

[pickwickianmom]

Wouldn't it be aggravating to work at People magazine and make some minimal salary and find out they had millions of dollars just lying around for celeb wedding and baby pictures?
They probably paid more for those twins than most of their writers make in a lifetime.

[pickwickianmom]

I keep checking huffintonpost for entertainment news out of habit. Stopped for awhile because I got a little tired of some of the same celebrities.

Here goes.
My list of "celebrities" who could disappear into thin air tomorrow and I'd be relieved:

1. Octomom
2. Jon Gosselin (I've never seen the show and I know all about this guy)
3. Kendra Wilkerson the Playboy bunny who got married and got a reality show
4. Megan Fox (although I have to confess her quotes are a hoot)
5. Brangie
6. Jen Aniston's single life
7. Gwenny "cleansing" or "gooping" (please. way more than I want to know about Gwenyth P)

Anyone agree?
Anyone to add?

[lillibelle]

Hi Pickwicki ~ From your lips to Go.d's ears!

Can we add Jess.icaSim.pson to that list?

[pickwickianmom]

Great. Definitely.
What about Nicole Simpson and Paris Hilton?

Happycat, why do they write articles about Gwennie "cleansing". Isn't that an enema of something?

Isn't that a little gross?

Brangie is so desperate for attention they are having security close down Mickey D's like Obama was eating there.

[stephyj]

Joe Jackson (who shamelessly is using is son's death for his own selfish platform and doesn't even care)

[TigersEye]

Please, take Kate Gosselin too. The kids are okay but the parents - no thanks.

I agree about Jessica Simpson, she hasn't done a decent movie or anything to get this much press over. AND Miley Cyrus!

[pickwickianmom]

I'm with you. Let's stop with Kate and Joe Jackson articles.

Just imagine a world without these publicity hounds.

And how could I ever forget the worst: the blond from "The Hills" (or anybody from 'The Hills") and the guy Spencer. I think her name is Heidi something. They call them Speidi.
Yuck.

[pickwickianmom]

Have you noticed that Disney is the celebrity-making machine? We had Justin and Britney and that was it.

Now there are all these people who are in the tabloids like Selma Gomez and the Jonas Brothers and Miley and so on and the common thread is Disney. I've never seen these people do anything because I don't watch Disney.

Disney makes sure these kids are on every tabloid cover and are dating each other.

[ChristinaO]

Air-brush much?? Once again a very attractive woman defies age, skin color, wrinkles or any human mark that may come from genes, sun or living! She looks great but how many photoshop pics of J.A. and her half-shown breasts are we going to see? My advice, Jen take off all of your clothes (you know you want to) and do a spread in Playboy. They will do a great job, air-brushed, soft filter, "tastefully done" and you can get this out of your system. You are going to run out of magazine covers and body parts to partially expose!

[TigersEye]

Any time a celeb poses in a magazine they utilize airbrushing. But since you don't care for Aniston's Elle pictures perhaps you'd prefer Jolie's topless poses with a horse licking her?

[cinnamonlady]

While An.gie's ud.der disregard and lack of appreciation for animals, both great and small, is so well known...she is clearly enthralled by this encounter!

This must have been what MelG was seeing when he coined the term "Sugar T*TS." No wonder he needed a drink afterwards.

[cimbri]

Yes much better. Looks natural rather than the airbrushed poses.

[Marimeko]

Just think--she might still be married to Brad had she given him a baby which he so desired. Instead, she wanted to protect her gorgeous body and lost her husband. Is the vanity worth it Jen?? Poor lonely Jen--boo hoo....

[sf girl]

Wow, did Jennifer Aniston tell you that herself?

[Bluejay00234]

And just think Bradley would still be a respectable man if he hadn't cheated on his wife with a jezebel.

[TigersEye]

I see you've bought into the Jolie PR machine. When you get a mind of your own, let us know.

[cinnamonlady]

This might explain poor Mari.meko:

(She's the one not smoking.)

[Two Cents]

. . . who knows (or frankly cares) why Aniston and Pitt broke up; as I said in another post, "After six children one should simply move on." Move on Jennifer.

[hykaol]

Maybe she should marry Courteney Cox: http://www.actressscene.com/2009/03/jennifer-aniston-and-courteney-cox-in.html

[lillibelle]

Court.ney is already taken but is a part of Jennifer's wide, loyal, and long lasting circle of devoted friends. Many of Jennifer's friendships began during childhood and continue to deepen.

It is such a stark contrast to An.gie.

Does An.gie have any long term, loyal, loving, and supportive female friends ~ besides temporary, transitional co-workers and BrotherJames doesn't count?

[blastit]

I thihk Jennifer Aniston is influencing Courtney Cox and not for the better she did and Interview for Marie Claire and looked super gorgeous on the cover but her whole interview was about how she was 40 and no man would want her if she she was single and about botox, I thought it was sad and patheic and was surprised to find Courtney was that shallow!

[temenos]

HELP! I've fallen in the dumb celebrity section and I can't get up!

[pickwickianmom]

Ha!!!!

[floater]

girl? isn't she forty?

[happycat]

True. I don't recall seeing the words "girl" attached to Angelina Jolie or "boy" attached to Brad Pitt or George Clooney. It's inappropriate to refer to a woman over the age of 21 as a girl.

[pickwickianmom]

Good point.

[Sarahmay57]

Most women don't object to being referred to as "girl" no matter their age--it's a girl thing.

[imfedup]

I disagree. I don't mind if my girlfriends call me one of the girls, but it's not appropriate to call anyone out of her teens a girl.

[Mike Barden]

Gee, I didn't realize that all these peoples we see on TV and movies might actually be human.

[Bulbul]

Someone pleezzee marry this lonely, beautiful woman , there is so much of her solo journey we can take....

[AContrario]

Marrying her shouldn't be a problem but LIVING with her might be the
sore point...

[Badgirl]

...she needs tons of closet space for all of her Da.ddy and Ab.andon.ment issues!

[hartkid]

Marriage is overrated. I think she's probably doing ok on her own, reckon?

[imfedup]

I'd say she's doing okay. $25 million in 2008.

If money bought happiness, no rich person would ever k#ll themselves.

[TigersEye]

True, absolutely. A lot of people I know who are wealthy aren't happy. As far as Aniston, whether you like her personally or not she's entitled to date until she finds the right person, that fact doesn't make her "poor Jen" or whatever. A lot of "bachelors" in Hollywood are single and get the high five because of all the "hot women" they get to date. Our outdated sexism is what irritates me.

[wcgmilf]

Trust me. Money brings happiness.

[PocketWatch]

If she needs some male companionship, I've got some time...

[pickwickianmom]

Only if you are a movie star who has never married. I think those are her requirements. I've read various people who are frustrated because they try to fix her up with normal, real guys. She isn't having any of it. She wants someone equally famous.

[jesuswazasocialist]

Jennifer Aniston can only play one character Rachael Green, she is not an actress.
Ms Aniston should have given Brad that baby he wanted, looks are only ski n deep after all.

[Jebedella Johnson]

You said it, brother! Babies on demand! We aim to please! And, if she were a real woman, Jen shoulda asked Bradley if he wanted fries with that baby.

[kathy001]

LOL!!! Well said, Jebedella Johnson.

[MichB1]

Ummm ... WHAT???

May I suggest u get out more, & meet some humans?

[happycat]

Hey, jesus - what are you a caveman? "Ms Aniston should have given Brad that baby he wanted"
You don't just "give" somebody a baby. You can't just buy them at the supermarket, they don't just fall out of the sky. Maybe, just maybe, Jen had fertility problems. As a man, you have no idea the heartbreak and pain a woman goes through if she has trouble getting pregnant.

Brad is a cad. Jen's having a baby, probably would not have prevented him from straying with that human trampoline.

[montecarlo408]

She doesn't have to have a baby if she doesn't want to. That's true. She should have, however, not lied to him and told him that she was eager to have a family, only to change her tune after he married her, and then totally embarass him by proclaiming that she didn't want to have them on Oprah. All of her rabid supporters tend to forget that tidbit.
