Looking hot is the best revenge!
That's clearly the strategy that Jen Aniston has finally settled on after watching Angelina bewitch her ex-husband Brad...and the rest of the world.
And thank the Lord, Jen. Going into battle unabashedly nude with a body toned to perfection, is a far superior strategy against Brangelina than the endless whining that has been your hallmark style since your post-marital split.
Now everyone knows that Jen's body truly is a wonderland.
Playing the "poor, sad Jen" role would never make Brad eat his heart out. And we all know, Jen, that making Brad second guess his decision to leave you has been your goal all along.
Every woman who's ever been dumped understands this. No matter how much time passes or how fabulous your new boyfriend, you always want your ex to yearn to have you back... and your ex's new love interest to feel sick about it.
What better way to achieve this than to have the entire male global population drooling?
Everyone, even in Brangelina-land, would notice that.
It's the only offense that Jen could take. She can't compete against Angie's glamorous earth mother routine, which has so effectively hypnotized Brad.
After all he's talked more than once about wanting to have nine kids — " we're looking for a soccer team," he has said.
That left Jen with unabashed sexuality as the only way to go.
"Her old look was victim. She looked like a sad puppy dog. Now she's powerful — she's realized that she's a sexy goddess," says Match.com relationship expert Whitney Casey, the author of the new book, The Man Plan: Drive Men Wild...Not Away!
It's also Jen's reputation game changer. She has needed to irrevocably change the public perception about her, as a spurned wife.
"This says, 'I'm a beautiful, sexy woman, hear me roar... now go see my new movie,'" points out psychotherapist, Dr. Jenn Berman.
Nudity has also been a career-enhancer for Jen in the past. It was a Rolling Stone cover showing her lying on a bed, with a bare exposed tush, that first set her up as the "friend' to watch on the show that introduced her to the world. Later, post the Brad divorce, she had a memorable scene in the $100 million film, "The Break Up," in which she strolled naked past her co-star Vince Vaughn, as he regretted their split in the movie.

The price of all this gorgeousness has not been cheap. Jen's monthly regimen to tone and tighten her body with private instruction from top LA yoga guru, Mandy Ingber, and other personal trainers, costs over $3,000 a month, according to the National Enquirer, and I believe them.
She apparently has a private chef, preparing only high-protein, low-fat organic meals for $3,500 a month. She reportedly had a nose job, courtesy of Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Raj Kanodia, for about $12,000. She has anti-cellulite spa sculpting treatments for $1,000 a session, twice a month, and regular spray tanning sessions, which cost about $90 a pop.
Yes, that may add up to an investment of well over $400,000 in the four years since Brad and Ange first met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
But, the value of knowing that Brad's jaw dropped when he saw her nude GQ cover: PRICELESS!

" Going into battle unabashedly nude with a body toned to perfection.... Now everyone knows that Jen's body truly is a wonderland..."
I'm sure Ms Aniston has a body that is much more buffed and toned than the norm, especially considering the sums she's expended on it. But to assert it's "perfection" and without cellulite, while going purely on the "evidence" in the glossy magazines, is just ridiculous.
Why do we have to endlessly work over the possiblity of her psycho-emotional struggle with Brad and Angelina and this and that?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seem pretty happy - inspite of the constant paparrazi attention. Jennifer Anniston seems like she's had a few relationships along the way too.
What are we to glean from this column that has any meaning? I"m 51 (male if it matters) and I was dumped five years ago by my now ex of 20 years and I'm still not over it. But appearing nude on the cover of a magazine isn't exactly an option for me - if it would even make sense in any way except satire.
These celebs are not even characteristic of others - Jennifer Anniston has the money and fame to run off with John Mayer to Barbados or wherever.
Let her do it and have fun.
Perhaps you and the rest of the "We Reflexively Hate Jennifer Aniston Just Because" crowd should accept that you're the ones keeping this alleged feud going, probably to distract from your side's own shortcomings.
The rest of us voyeurs need to know that EVERYTHING is image. If some people really wanted to make the world a better place, they wouldn't make violent, stupid movies in order to justify their philanthropy.
Lastly--to anyone who's ever been devastated by the lies, fantasy (the other woman mirage), etc, just remember: you can't build your happiness on other people's sorrow.
Bottom line, you have to live with yourself!
And to keep your mouth shut. This battle-of-the-narcissists isn't cool. Re: Angelina and Brad. They're liars and remember:
More power to Alt showing she still 'has it,' (face & bod) - but supposedly successful actresses who've been in the business for 15 years amassing 100 mil TV fortunes, unlike unemployed middle-aged models, are supposed to have amassed a career, reputation and certainly enough money - to not need to do it - it reeks of desperation. At the end of the day, Alt's nude shots are more empowering as she is saying - 'Hey, I've still got it - and am proud to show it to you - please hire me.' In other words, she has a reason for doing it that will lead to self-empowerment, i.e., money, film roles, fashion shoots perhaps. But what's Aniston's motivation? Isn't she supposed to have that already? If she doesn't -that's her own fault - and speaks to her lack of talent /ability since she's had opportunities and apparently squandered them? Alt is in a business, where it's solely about how she looks. Alt's showing she still looks great despite advancing age - again an empowering move. But why would Aniston need that? I don't see Cox or Kudrow dropping trou?
Why are you challenging Angelina to do a straight up goofball comedy? Maybe she hates them, and has no desire to do them. Perhaps Aniston is sitting around praying for Will Farrell to give her a call about Talledega Nights 3, but I guarantee you Angelina, Charlize and
You also failed to define what constitutes "successful." Is it money raked in at the box office (SCARFACE was a box office bomb)? Is it awards (Anthony Hopkins has zero Oscars)? Is it impact on society (Jen started a hairstyle trend)?
I threw down the comedy gauntlet because comedy is really hard to pull off well. It requires the audience to think, and the actor to remain calm and credible in the face of all that absurdity. It's something Jen does well, so if Angie can't or won't do it...
I challenge Angie to do a straight-up goofball comedy to show off those vaunted acting skills, if nothing else for the paycheck to keep all those kids supported. And no, saying it's beneath an Oscar winner doesn't count because she did WANTED, GONE IN 60 SECONDS, and SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW.
It only makes you cringe in embarassement - or worse, makes you and your present beau feel really smug.
It never, never works - except in romantic comedies, of course. Ms Aniston should stop watching her own movies.
