Jennifer Aniston = Still America’s Sweetheart
Monday, March 2nd, 2009
Remember during the Friends time period everyone was calling Jennifer Aniston “America’s Sweetheart”? Well, I feel like people don’t say that as much anymore, and they definitely should. She just had two #1’s in the box office and she’s just as awesome as ever (if not more). I’ve loved Jennifer Aniston since Friends and love her even more after. I always find myself going to see “the new Jennifer Aniston movie.” I really don’t like that people keep on bringing up Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It’s over and done with. They have both moved on and they seem to be in good places in their own lives. Can they just move on and not be constantly reminded? But can I just say something….Team Jennifer Aniston all the way (but I love “Brangelina” too!) But if I had to choose.
Here’s Jennifer Aniston in a brand new interview with Elle UK. I love her answers. Love them.
About her body and exercise (she does two hours of yoga every day with a trainer at her home gym): I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips, I’m not going to be hired for the parts I normally would. That might be fine one day, but not right now.
On wanting to do action movies: I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles,” says the star, who will attend the London premiere of Marley & Me tonight. “I’d love to do an action movie. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! Shit loads of fun!
On being happy: Look what’s out there. Look what people are really living through,” Aniston says. “There’s no comparison. I am happy.
On her divorce with Brad Pitt (people need to back off now): No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though I won’t let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and over.
A good last word: I don’t owe anybody anything. I don’t owe anybody my side of the story. There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It’s just not the case.
The 2009 Oscars Commentary. Nice.
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
This is the first time in a long time that I actually watched the entire showing of the Oscars. It wasn’t even Tivo’d. I watched from beginning to end mainly because I was rooting for some things. Kate Winslet, check. WALL-E, check. Slumdog Millionaire, 8/10 check. Overall it was a really great show and it didn’t seem as long as I thought it would (yesss). Here are some other comments.
Hugh Jackman did a really great job as host.
Anne Hathaway has a really great voice (who knew?)
The Pineapple Express guys, Seth Rogen and James Franco, were funny during the Comedy 2008 dedication.
The thing you looked for but don’t want to talk about: Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt all being under one roof. They all looked great, so that’s over with. Now, did anyone else notice that Jennifer Aniston was in the TV shot several times when Sean Penn won the award for Best Actor (aka not Brad Pitt)? I really hope that was not intentional. While Jennifer Aniston was presenting, they showed a close-up of Angelina Jolie with a big smile. Nothing to say there. And did anyone else notice Jennifer Aniston getting kind of antsy when she was presenting her award? Kind of like she had just seen a ghost perhaps? Whatever, I honestly love movies by Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie and hope they continue being professionals and keep making great movies.
The dance/song number with Hugh Jackman and Beyonce, as well as Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Amanda Seyfried was cute and cheesy (just how I like it). I told my friend that I thought Beyonce was lip syncing…which is different and surprising… I’m really good at spotting a lip-syncer… I want to give her the benefit of the doubt, however. I’m sure we’ll learn more soon. Say it ain’t so B.
Tina Fey and Steve Martin were kind of funny. Still love Tina Fey though.
You know who else wasn’t funny? Will Smith. Yeah, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Will Smith. Sigh.
Dustin Lance Black’s acceptance speech for Best Adapted Screenplay (Milk) was very awesome and hopeful. I’d YouTube that one for sure.
I’m glad Heath Ledger won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. I know a lot of people think he won just because he died, but he really did do a great job in The Dark Knight. The speech by his family (dad, mom, and sister) was humbling and naturally made me sad.
I’m really glad Kate Winslet finally won her Oscar for Best Actress. She seemed very genuine and humble in her acceptance. Although saying practicing this moment with a shampoo bottle was kind of cliche, it still worked. She’s come a long ass way since Titanic. She looked beautiful.
Reese Witherspoon was cute. Can’t go wrong with her. I’m looking forward to her next movie.
I also really enjoyed Penelope Cruz’s acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress. It was very well written and hit all the important points. I especially liked how she spoke something in Spanish because it made it seem like she really knows where she comes from.
Slumdog Millionaire won the top awards tonight including Best Picture, Best Cinematography, and Best Director. Did anyone notice how genuinely excited the actor Dev Patel (male lead of Slumdog Millionaire) was to be at the Oscars? I feel like there was never a shot when his mouth wasn’t wide-open smiling from excitement. And Freida Pinto (female lead of Slumdog) looked gorgeous as usual.
A.R. Rahman of Slumdog Millionaire said something that really stuck with me. Cheesy but great. Rahman said, “All my life, I’ve had a choice of hate and love. I chose love, and I’m here.” He won an award for his work in Slumdog FYI.
Other people who looked cute: Alicia Keys, Sarah Jessica Parker, I’m sleepy.
Honestly, that’s everything I remember. Great show this year (even if it seemed awkward at times). Congrats Slumdog Millionaire (love you, dog).
BTW, how on point were my predictions earlier? Kate Winslet, Slumdog Millionaire, and WALL-E. There’s a reason I keep saying those three names. Go support
He’s Just Not That Into You

As if I wouldn’t see this movie? Between all the stars and it being a comedy, I made sure to see this the weekend it came out (the weekend before my finance test…let’s not talk about it). I went with Stephanie and not to my surprise, I loved this movie. It’s just one of those feel good movies. Before this movie I had never seen anything with Jennifer Connelly in it…and let me tell you that I loved her in the movie! She’s so pretty…Her and Jennifer Aniston definitely are the highlights. Just go see it. You probably won’t regret it!
