Is That A Food Baby, Or A Real Baby?

Jennifer Aniston JAnistonO112008_01_X17.jpg

We spotted Jennifer Aniston the other day, and the "Marley & Me" star looked slightly bloated. Did Jen just have a burrito, or is there something else (like, ahem, a baby) going on? I mean, John just met Jen's dad the other night, so who knows how serious things are getting between the two of them!



Think Jen will be growing a baby bump in 2009?

Personally, I hope she is pregnant. But eEarly pregnancy isn't visible. The "bump" wouldn't appear until the end of the first trimester, and could not be seen, merely palpated, and it would be in the lower abdomen. If she is in her second trimester, then yes, this could very well be a "bump."



Posted by: kamilia

you're calling THAT a food bump? that isn't even a tiny bloat. you are so ridiculous and should be blamed for making girls feel insecure. you should feel ashamed.

"Poor needy pathetic desperate Jen
How did Jennifer Aniston, once America’s Sweetheart, morph into America’s Spinster?"

Ouch! CLICK HERE to read the article accompanying this headline.

Poor needy pathetic desperate Jen
How did Jennifer Aniston, once America’s Sweetheart, morph into America’s Spinster?

Vogue editor Anna Wintour knows how to sell magazines, which explains the “What Angelina Did Was Very Uncool” line on the cover of the December issue next to Jennifer Aniston’s face. The quote was lifted from an interview in which the former Friends star was asked about Angelina Jolie’s gushing to the magazine in 2007 about falling in love with Brad Pitt while he was still hitched to her. Playing Aniston’s first public comment about Jolie so boldly was a master stroke destined to generate epic buzz.

For Aniston, though, the incident ushered in yet another of the “Poor Jen! Duped again!” moments that have dogged her since her 2005 divorce from Pitt. Not only did Vogue exploit Aniston’s tepid smackdown, making her appear obsessed with the siren who stole her husband, it squared the two women off against one another more subtly. Astute fashionistas were quick to note that the cover image of Aniston posed on a beach in a cleavage-displaying, off-the-shoulder, red Narciso Rodriguez gown echoed the cover shot of Jolie in January 2007 in which she rocked a cleavage-displaying, off-the-shoulder, red Bill Blass against a sandy backdrop. Jolie’s cover line, however, was a more triumphant “Why Her Real Life is More Romantic Than Any Movie.” The disparity continued inside: in 2007, Jolie was shown with Pitt and their numerous children; in the current issue, Aniston is pictured with her dog Norman.

Aniston’s Vogue appearance is part of a publicity blitz for her two new movies, Marley & Me, which opens on Dec. 25, and He’s Just Not That Into You, which arrives in February. Neither role, it’s safe to say, will eclipse the one she currently plays in the cultural imagination—that of the archetypal Wronged Wife subject to an endless loop of “Jen Is Devastated!” “Jen Is Furious!” “Jen Gets Revenge!” bogus theorizing. Since her divorce, America’s Sweetheart has morphed into America’s Spinster. The unmarried, childless Aniston has become the tabloids’ Miss Havisham, portrayed as lonely, needy and locked in the past. The website Dlisted.com recently advertised a US$19.95 “Boyfriend Arm Pillow” thus: “Now, every time the Jennifer Aniston in your life calls you, wanting to whine for hours about how they are so f–king lonely and their cats are even giving them the side-eye, you can simply say, ‘Aniston in my life, go canoodle with the Boyfriend Arm Pillow I got you for Christmas.’ ” Celebrity gossip site PerezHilton.com refers to her cruelly as “Maniston.”

Her alleged tribulations sell big time. “We can’t get enough of her,” says Dina Sansing, entertainment director at US Weekly, where every issue features at least one Aniston photo or story. She’s No. 2 on the “Most Valuable Celebrity Faces” of 2008 list in terms of newsstand sales, according to Forbes. (In a rare case of tabloids imitating life, “Poor Jen!” was knocked off her No. 1 perch this year by Jolie.) Women relate to her, says Sansing, a bond that dates back to 1994 when Aniston entered homes as flaky, likeable Rachel Green. Female fans flocked to copy Aniston’s haircut, known as “The Rachel.” And now they rally to share her pain—as well as a schadenfreude thrill.

Aniston’s position atop the tabloid pantheon was cemented with her union with Pitt, whom she met Hollywood cute in 1998 through their mutual agent. The merger of America’s Sweetheart and the World’s Sexiest Man in 2000 was a lavish event that featured a 40-person gospel choir and fireworks over the Pacific. They were the king and queen of the Hollywood prom, with matching tans and blond streaks. When they split Aniston was poised for post-Friends career breakout; initially she was the one blamed for being unwilling to “have Brad’s babies,” to employ tabloid lexicon. When Jolie’s involvement became known, Aniston became the object of sympathy, and pity. After all, what chance did the Girl Next Door have against the Girl From the Next Galaxy? The New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane summed up perception of Jolie’s snaring of Pitt: “She took one look at the world’s most widely desired man and scooped him up with no more ado than a Parisian grande dame tucking a chihuahua into her clutch bag.”

The scandal was likened to Eddie Fisher leaving Debbie Reynolds for Elizabeth Taylor in the ’60s. But back then there wasn’t a celebrity media complex ready to pounce on Reynolds’ every humiliation, real or imagined. For the wounded Aniston, the salt poured down, beginning with an arty 60-page photo spread in the June 2005 W titled “Domestic Bliss,” in which Pitt and Jolie presided over a band of little blond Brads.

Aniston shot back with a tearful Vanity Fair interview in which she admitted to being hurt and lonely and denied rumours that she didn’t want children: “That really pissed me off. I’ve never in my life said I didn’t want to have children. I did and I do and I will!”

The trendy L.A. store Kitson capitalized on the conflict, selling “Team Aniston” and “Team Jolie” T-shirts. “Team Aniston” outsold 25-to-one in the beginning, reports owner Fraser Ross. Elaine Lui, founder of the popular celebrity gossip blog Laineygossip.com and an eTalk reporter, believes Aniston’s plight taps into female anxiety. “There’s a fear among many women that their husband is going to work one day and hook up with the hot colleague,” she says. “So every time they see Jennifer Aniston’s face they can’t help but feel for her or support her, not because they like her but because they feel a vote for her is a vote for themselves.”

As part of the most mused-upon triangle since Euclid, Aniston’s now intractably tethered to Pitt and Jolie in a perverse geometry: for every “Brangelina’s Baby Joy” headline, there’s the inevitable “Jen Alone in Malibu!” sidebar. In the gravitas sweepstakes, she’s the lesser, a sun lamp eclipsed by a supernova. As Pitt and Jolie tour refugee camps and rebuild New Orleans, she’s photographed bagging rays in Cabo and dating a series of child-men, most lately the singer John Mayer, which sparked the recent Life & Style cover line: “Having More Surgery for John?”

Aniston’s post-Pitt hookups, which include Vince Vaughn, her co-star in The Break-Up, have the whiff of publicity stunt. Lui views Aniston’s relationship with Mayer, whose conquests include Jessica Simpson and who’s nine years her junior, as an attempted “Screw you” to Jolie: “She’s saying, ‘I’m 40 but I can still bag a younger man and change him.’ I almost feel sorry for her talking about her like this, it’s so misguided.”

Aniston’s uterine status is the subject of constant speculation as she approaches the big 4-0. “She’s Having John’s Babies,” announced Star magazine in mid-November, which claimed Aniston was undergoing “secret fertility treatments” to have twins. That same week, In Touch falsely reported it was a fait accompli: “Jen’s Bump Gets Bigger.”

Of course, obsession with celebrity baby bumps drive newsstand sales. “Her fans are interested in her having a traditional husband and house,” says Sansing. “They’re very eager for her to have this life that we all think she’s wanted for some time.”

Aniston’s inability—or unwillingness—to fulfill her perceived maternal destiny is magnified exponentially by Jolie’s and Pitt’s relentless child acquisition; they’ve added an average of 1.6 children per year to their family. Yet Jolie’s Earth Mother status hasn’t interfered with her stellar career. Since 2005, she has made nine movies, two of which generated Oscar buzz.

Aniston has made seven, two with cringe-inducing, too-close-to-life titles. As Fug Girls, New York magazine’s fashion blog, observed: “The Break-Up was bad enough, but He’s Just Not That Into You? Honey, no. There’s self-awareness, and then there’s masochism.”

It’s as if the lens trained on Aniston is fated to dredge up the past. She’s photographed often with former Friends co-star Courteney Cox, reminding the public of Rachel; in a Smart Water ad, she’s surrounded by children of various ethnicities, summoning inevitable comparison to Jolie; her recent guest appearance on 30 Rock as a stalker sent up her real-life victim persona.

Lui believes the focus on Aniston as victim is misbegotten. “I think we need to examine ourselves as a society,” she says. “For some reason we love the soap opera aspect of a weak victim like Jennifer Aniston and the mobilization to rally around her.” She sees Aniston as hostage to her own publicity: “She sold this image of herself and now she can’t shake it. She has become the poster girl for crying yourself to sleep at night.”

It’s a label Aniston tries to shake: “This whole ‘Poor lonely Jen’ thing, this idea that I’m so unlucky in love? I actually feel I’ve been unbelievably lucky in love,” she told Vogue. “Just because at this stage my life doesn’t have the traditional framework to it—the husband and the two kids and the house in Connecticut—it’s mine. It’s my experience. And if you don’t like the way it looks, then stop looking at it!”

That’s not going to happen, especially now that Pitt’s promoting The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which also opens on Dec. 25. Brangelina domestic bliss will be displayed large, as in the “private” photographs Pitt took of Jolie displayed in the November issue of W.

Appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show in mid-November, Aniston tried to distance herself from the breakup: “I don’t go there,” she said. “It’s a hundred years old for Chrissakes.” Still, Winfrey stoked the embers, asking Aniston if she wanted to beat Pitt at the box office. “What am I going to say?” she replied, “Can we do a tie?” No chance of that. The next week, she was “Devastated Jen” once again on the cover of Star, once again the proxy for the real world of broken dreams.

I rather be her any day of the week. She
has friends, keeps busy, and doesn't
seem to be worrying much about all the
crap that is printed. I can't wait to
see Marley and Me. Just because she
was once married to a douche, cheater
and liar doesn't mean she has to quit
living and she doesn't have to get
married, have kids or anything else to
be a person. Going out of the house is
hardly asking for pr. She certainly
is more interesting than hearing about
poop and pee all the time. Her ex isn't
hurrying to remarried either even though
he is trying to populate the world so
why should she? It's not like she is
the only woman in Hollywood that is single, dating or going on about her
business. Hallie's boy friend is ten
years younger, Reese's is younger and
neither of them seem to be in a hurry
to get married. She probably hasn't
live even half her life yet so leave her
alone.

John and Jen are not a couple. You are being duped because you make your living as voyeurs for an audience x17. This is now the new theater.



Posted by: Anonymous

Aniston looks fresh, pretty, happy. Angelina looks 45, tense, and hard.
Brad looks miserable.
Who has the happy ending?



Posted by: Anonymous

There is no baby bump there! Love her and am looking forward to Marley and Me this Christmas!I think some of you are on the wrong board..yuka and jj need you ..NOW! Or better yet go play on People's website--they are owned by Jolie/Pitt!

NOT pregnant

Funny how the only way Jen could get attention was to use Angelina's name.
She has turned into an old desperate man needing to trick a douche bag into being with her.



Posted by: dt

anniston sucks. pathetic woman.



Posted by: K

Ya'll are to funny. How is she pathetic? I guess we've gone back to the dark ages were if your a woman and your unmarried or without children your pathetic or desperate. Anyway, the woman doesn't have a baby bump & she certainly doesn't look "bloated" but way to go there on perpetuating eating disorders.

Remember, desperate Jen started that lie. This ho is pathetic.



Posted by: Brad

I think it is kinda strange that People
went to Just Jared to deny that they made a deal with Angelina. They gotta
know that is Angelina loonies heaven.
Why not deny it on their own magazine?
The New York Times said they had two
scoures from People so if push comes
to shove, it may really be interesting
to see how it turns out. Hope all the
paper work is in order.

are you kidding me? where do you see anything but a flat stomach? my gosh, what a woman in hollywood has to go through



Posted by: Anonymous

What a women in Hollywood go through! How about this who re trashing another women in Hollywood just to get attention from the media that's done with her old dried up behind.
So this whor just hired a man and run all over Hollywood acting like she is a star. Desperate whor.
I believe Jen started that rumor so she
would be followed every where, desperate for any kind of attention.

I doubt she could GET pregnant naturally..Her Ovaries are all shriveled up....40 is mighty close...Desperate HAS been....



Posted by: Anonymous

Why is her every move similar to Angelina's.. Scary.. talk about her 30 rock character coming true to life, her pics in the NY mag.. Just like Angelina's in W.. Really,, why would we want to see this coming from a B actress, with a pathetic movie coming out.. Lots of actresses have movies coming out and they don't pay magazines to portray them as their exes wife.. Sad Really...



Posted by: Anonymous

it's a pile of shit like her fake relationship to Mayer



Posted by: Anonymous

What's wrong with her say the uncool thing is...That sh!t was 4 years ago, Jen's mentally ill azz should have moved on. Now it looks like she stalks Brad and Angelina and that's embarrassing. Just like John said "he only snag stupid women" and Jen is stupid as they come.
Angelina has the right to talk about the love of her life. Angelina gave it 4 years.

Jen is a deeply distrub person. She and that douche bag belong together.



Posted by: Anonymous

Wow, she's got a bump? Are you kidding me? She's still got a life not a handfull of kids. She's got the hottest body, perfection! I absolutely LOVE ALL HER MOVIES! Anything starring Jen's worth watching. She's natural, sweet and effortlessly striking. I wish I looked like her at her life speed and age! Flawless picture perfect!
