Jen Aniston Doesn’t Want to be Anonymous

May 15th, 2009

For a superstar actress like Jennifer Aniston, who can’t go out to the store to buy a bottle of water without being trailed by a phalanx of photographers and fans, there must be something tempting about the idea of giving it all up and becoming just another anonymous person going about her daily business. Right?

"Would I love a level of anonymity? Sure, there are times I’d love to take a moment," Jen admits in an interview in USA Today. "But that’s lonely."

In her latest movie, Management, Jen plays a traveling salesperson who lives a life without all the hubbub that the actress has gotten used to. However, she says, "It seems like a lonely existence that she has made and convinced herself that it’s comfortable."

But if Jen were to give up fame and fortune, what would she do with herself? "Probably something in the health industry," she says before realizing, "It’s too late to go to medical school. I’d travel. I’d go back to the years that I never did what I’d wish I’d done, which was travel Europe and backpack. That sounds slightly romantic… Maybe become a chef. There’s so much more to do. It’s almost overwhelming. I’ve gotten to a great place in my career. "

Jen Doesn’t Want Old Friends

May 6th, 2009

Oh Jen, don’t tease us!

 

Jennifer Aniston isn’t saying whether or not she’d be on board for a Friends reunion movie, but she knows she doesn’t want Ross and Rachel walking into Central Park with canes.

 

"They do want to know that all the time," she tells MTV News when asked whether or not a reunion is going to happen. "I dont think so, and if they do, they should hurry up."

 

Friends has been off the air – at least new episode of it – for years now, but that’s not the sole reason Jen thinks those in charge need to get the lead out of their pants and start working on it if it is a reality.

 

"Well, it’s been off the air, but you also don’t want it to be that reunion show or movie where you see — like when the Brady Bunch had a reunion and they were old."

 

As if Jen could ever look old, compared to normal human beings!

 

The former Rachel Green did get to have a bit of a mini-reunion with her co-star in Management, Steve Zahn – he guest-starred on one episode of Friends back in the second season as Phoebe’s ice-dancer husband.

 

"I did one show," he said. "I still have people walk up to me … all the time [and say], ‘You’re Phoebe’s husband!’ That was three days out of my life!"

It’s been a good year on the silver screen for Jennifer Aniston.

And with the upcoming release of her new comedy, Management, the former Friends star is looking to extend that streak.

Jen Takes Toronto

September 10th, 2008

With the possibility of a run-in with ex-husband Brad Pitt hanging in the air, some doubted that Jennifer Aniston would show her face at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival.

 

But Jen proved the naysayers wrong when she showed up looking radiant and sexy in front of hundreds of fans gathered outside the Isabel Bader Theatre on Sunday for the premiere of her new film, Management.

 

“I love this movie!” she gushed. “I love my fans, and that’s all I care about!” And by all accounts, during the happily single star’s visit to Canada, her ex-husband was the last thing on her mind.

The city was definitely big enough for both of them — especially since Jen and Brad were only in Toronto at the same time for 12 hours. As Jen was arriving in Toronto and checking into her hotel on Saturday, Brad had already attended the premiere for his new Coen brothers film Burn After Reading and was going to dinner with friends at Italian hot spot Sotto.

 

The evening turned out to be quite low-key, with no run-ins between the two. Brad flew out of Toronto on Sunday, thus avoiding any possibility of confrontation with Jen and letting her have the limelight.

And shine she did! Later that evening, with the hurdle of bumping into Brad behind her, a glowing Jen dined with her Management co-star Steve Zahn at the restaurant Lobby, before heading off to their premiere.

Toronto capped off an exciting week for the actress, who has been throwing herself into her work with renewed vigor. Just days before she attended the festival, Jen was busy filming scenes for her guest spot on 30 Rock in NYC.

 

“I just had the time of my life,” Jen said of her 30 Rock stint. “The cast welcomed me with open arms, and it was so good.”

In fact, Jen’s cheerful mood carried over that week to Toronto, where the normally press-shy star opened up to discuss love and men.

“In order to let love in, you’ve got to really surrender control, you know?” Jen told OK!. “And that’s hard for some people. You’ve got to make sure it makes you feel good.”

Jen Talks About 30 Rock Experience

September 8th, 2008

As OK! was the first to report recently, Jennifer Aniston made a brief return to sitcom stardom when she filmed a guest role on the NBC hit 30 Rock. And now, the former Friends star is talking about her experience back on the small screen.

"Where do I begin? I just had the time of my life," she told reporters at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she’s promoting her upcoming film Management. "The cast welcomed me in with open arms, and it was so good."

And Jen had nothing but nice things to say about her co-stars on the show, whom she called, "Stellar!… Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Jane Krawkowski… what a great group of people," she told ET Canada. "Unbelievable!

Meanwhile, Jen’s director in Management, Stephen Belber, took his time out  to gush to OK! about how great it was to work with the actress.

"She lives with her heart on her sleeves, she lives fully and she’s not afraid to hide it," explained Stephen. "She doesn’t flaunt it in any sense. People follow her life, and she’s not a jerk. She could be a mean, bitter person as a result of all the press she gets – or the hounding — she gets, and she just never, ever shows a bitterness at all. That alone is huge, I think."

Jen’s Haunted Halloween!

October 31st, 2007 / Author: cwillett

While filming the romantic comedy Management in Portland, Ore. with co-stars Woody Harrelson and Steve Zahn, Jennifer Aniston has been staying at The Heathman Hotel, which features all the luxuries one would expect of a top-flight hotel — including a ghost!

According to local legend, Room 703 of The Heathman is haunted by the restless spirit of a former guest who reputedly fell to his death from this room. Luckily for the former Mrs. Brad Pitt, she’s safely stowed away two floors up in a $1,200 per night suite — though some say that all rooms ending in “03″ at The Heathman are prone to eerie goings on, including broken glass, moving furniture, ghostly apparitions and loud screams (though that last one is common to all hotels, isn’t it?).

“We don’t charge extra for ghost rooms,” the hotel’s general manager Chris Erickson tells OK!, “but we like to think of our spirits as a little bit friendlier and maybe just a little mischievous.”

Jen Aniston Weds Woody Harrelson!

October 24th, 2007 / Author: cwillett

Only weeks after walking down the aisle for her upcoming film He’s Just Not That Into You, Jen Aniston was doing it all over again on Tuesday, as the sexy and single star filmed yet another wedding sequence — this time with co-star Woody Harrelson — for the film Management.

The pair filmed the scene in the picturesque Willamette Valley in Portland, Ore., on Tuesday for the movie, reportedly about a woman being hassled by an obsessive hotel manager.

Given that Jen’s film The Break-Up ultimately ended with her and co-star Vince Vaughn enduring a rather public split, here’s hoping that Jen’s recent spate of wedding-related pics will see her walking down the aisle with a real Mr. Right.
