Why was Jennifer Aniston famous?!

A hairstyle and because Brad Pitt put his penis in her.

by Anonymousreply 1November 12, 2020 5:32 PM

She's a stupid useless cunt.

Probably appealed to Deplorables and Middle Americans with no life.

They love her bland, boring uselessness.

by Anonymousreply 2November 12, 2020 5:32 PM

She must have the most amazing publicist - her face is on one or more of the supermarket tabloids almost every week. Do not understand her appeal.

by Anonymousreply 3November 12, 2020 5:35 PM

She pays tabloids and Yahoo! to put articles out on her, on a weekly (if not daily) basis.

Just like the Kartrashians.

by Anonymousreply 4November 12, 2020 5:37 PM

Always thought she was average and boring. In a parallel universe she’s an assistant manager at a Starbucks.

Because she is the greatest star of all time.

I like Brad Pitt, but his taste in women is questionable.

by Anonymousreply 7November 12, 2020 5:41 PM

Because Brad Pitt dumped her. If that had never happened, she would’ve faded just like the rest of the Friends cast.

by Anonymousreply 8November 12, 2020 5:43 PM

Her appeal is that she manages to look like a glamorous every woman. She’s does the things most women think they would do if they got famous obsess over hair, makeup, and exercise and be inherently better than their ex’s new wife. She’s not a great beauty she’s telegenic and funny(ish). Iconically bland.

by Anonymousreply 9November 12, 2020 5:47 PM

She can’t act for shit and hasn’t gotten better either and she basically looks like a man. Her career and appeal is a mystery but then again the vast majority of actors in Hollywood are overrated and don’t deserve their careers.

Jennifer Aniston has the personality of Skim Milk.

by Anonymousreply 11November 12, 2020 5:49 PM

The only reason she's famous is because Brad Pitt never learned you don't stick your dick in crazy! Courteney Cox was prettier and Lisa Kudrow was more talented.

by Anonymousreply 12November 12, 2020 5:49 PM

I think her fame was as great before she married Pitt, but marrying him kept her there. She went from a "beloved" TV star (OMG Ross and Rachel, you guys!) to A-list-by-association (and thence to permanent B-list). She hasn't done any work that would have kept her at this level of name recognition, just the PR stuff as stated above. She made herself a tabloid fixture, which ensures that people remain even mildly curious about her.

by Anonymousreply 13November 12, 2020 5:53 PM

She's blonde with a bubbly personality. Just hot enough to be a sex symbol for straight men, but not too good looking as to be unrelatable to fraus. Hollywood is full of these white bread bitches.

She deserves to be as famous as Sharon Stone--both are middling talents with middling careers yet their publicists constantly get them on tabloid covers.

by Anonymousreply 19November 12, 2020 6:59 PM

Because she was so relatable to middle-class white women everywhere, which was the same reason why Marlo Thomas was such a big star at the end of the 60s.

Coincidentally, Marlo played her mom on Friends.

Nepotism and a modicum of talent. The penis involved in her creation was a long-time soap star.

[quote] Coincidentally, Marlo played her mom on Friends.

Her casting was not at all coincidental. They specifically asked Thomas to play Rachel's mom because the sensation the character of Rachel caused reminded everyone of the sensation Thomas's Ann Marie caused on "That Girl" in the late 60s.

Brad pitt is interested in troubled women who wants to save them with their mommy and daddy issues :Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Juliette Lewis (legally emancipated at 16) and model Nicole poturalski .

by Anonymousreply 27November 13, 2020 2:11 PM

I used to watch "Friend" when I was a teen and never liked her because her character was spoiled and dumb, but once my mother commented my friend had the same hair that " the charismatic girl from Friend", she never really watched the show herself or read magazines, or care about showbiz. That told me Aniston had something attractive for both straight women and men (all the boys were into her too), and that was before Brad. I still don't get it, but there is something about her.

by Anonymousreply 28November 13, 2020 3:05 PM

She got a lead role in a phenomenally popular show. It's not rocket science.

Not threatening to women. Comes off like a best friend. Some men think she’s cute like a sister and others want to date her. I don’t think she inspires lust or jealousy. Just like Heigl, AnnE, Jen Garner and Goldie’s spawn.

I saw her on that show, the Actors Studio thing. Jennifer Aniston pretty much admitted she spent big dollars on publicists to keep her name going in the tabloids and that she needed the publicity to fuel her movie career.

by Anonymousreply 52November 19, 2020 1:41 AM

R19 - the difference being that Sharon Stone was one of the most stunningly beautiful women on the planet during her peak (Basic Instinct era), while Jen was never anything terribly special. Stone was notable for being almost more stunning in her middle aged years than as a young actress (although she was always beautiful). Aniston has maintained a great, fit figure through the years and seems genuinely nice and sane - so there is that. Her face/head has always seemed so "off" to me - too big and very odd shaped.

by Anonymousreply 53November 19, 2020 1:42 AM

Pitt seems to be attracted to very needy women. Juliette Lewis had a drug problem and became involved in Scientology, but she had a kooky carefree aura. Gwyneth seems to need constant validation. Aniston may hav seemed like the comparably normal uncomplicated girl next door. But I've read a couple of interviews where she comes off as extremely needy and high maintenance. Jolie must have looked like an independent free spirit until, bam, the borderline stuff.

by Anonymousreply 54November 19, 2020 1:49 AM

She is America's Sweetheart because she is nice unlike those supposed 'sweethearts" who turned out to be absolute cunts. I'm talking about Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Katherine Heigl and Reese "Don't You Know who I AM??" Witherspoon (although RW has rebounded nicely in the last few years).

Jennifer is our girl. And our relationship with her deepened when that slut/whore AJ took Jen's husband away from her.

by Anonymousreply 55November 19, 2020 2:45 AM

She seems like a nice person, has charisma, is just attractive enough to not be seen as a threat to other women, and can be genuinely funny with the right script. I've always liked her, but most of the movie roles she's picked have been duds. Rumor Has It? Really?

Friends. Nice person. Relatable. Cheated on so you feel bad for her. Inoffensive. Bland.

by Anonymousreply 58November 19, 2020 8:00 AM

She’s relatable and doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s pretty without being too pretty. She has friends and loves animals. I worked with her on a movie and she was a very down to earth and nice person. Unusually so. I know people get tired of her schtick but she’s made a fortune off of just that.

by Anonymousreply 59November 19, 2020 9:38 AM

She sticks to bland Rom-Coms because she doesn’t have any real career ambition like the majority of people who find her relatable.

I thought she was great in Cake and the Good Girl. She also has great comedic timing. She’s had a shit personal life though. She and Pitt were so close to starting a family right after Friends but he left to film Smith with AJ.

The cast of Friends was incredibly tight to the point that a lot of guest stars felt frozen out or not wanted there by the cast. Was this led by anyone in particular. It sounds like stereotypic catty behavior from insecure women. But to be fair, Schwimmer sounds like an extraordinary diva.
