Maniston looked terrible .I can now see why Brad fed up with her.
That is a seriously sharp dress IMO. It's lowdown, I love the dress. I want that dress........would probably have to remortgage my house for though lol.

She does not look good when her hair is up.
Well now I know why she always keeps herhair down. But you know what she should be proud of her face. It's not the typical face that hollywood is always looking for, like let's say Angelina. And look how she's interacting with all the fans and actually talking to them. Angelina always had her nose up in the air at her later premieres. Always squinting her eyes and keeping her mouth shut, not looking at people. I think Angelina's got a big head now. Jen's been in this busines longer than AJ and she's never been stuck up. She always looked like a good spirited woman. Not fake, like some of those Jessica Simpson smiles (ugh, her smiles are so fake).
I read she had a "hairline adjustment." Never heard of it before, but her hairline does look strange. Maybe that's why she never wears it up...
Her nose looks weird, almost like it's swollen.
I hope she's not doing cocaine...
OH MY GOD she is very uglllllyyyyyyyyyyy. I can't believe with this ugly face she is in show business
She looks a bit mature for her age. Probably, she's been stressed too much this past year 'coz of the divorce. Anyway, I wish her well in her career. I know Brad and Angelina wish her well also in her career.

Amgelina is one of the most down to earth people you'd ever want to meet. One example is......A couple of guys staked out for hours where she was staying BC last fall when BP was shooting Jesse James just so they could meet her. When she returned from an engagement in DC early that morning, instead of calling the cops, or setting her security team on them (who told her the guys had been there all night) She went over and took a picture with them. She is one of the most down to earth, approachable, real celeb's you'd ever want to encounter, and never have I heard of anyone saying she shined them on, or went "celeb" on them.

jen,
please put your hair down again. i'm sorry that i've been commenting that you should pull it up to get if off your face. please, please put it down and frame your chi-- i mean, frame your face. it would look so much better.

I agree. Very few women (or men) can wear their hair just anyway, and Jen looks much better with her hair down. She's got very nice hair, and that dress is very sexy, and cascading hair with the neckline of the dress would have been quite nice. Also, if she wsa determined to wear her hair up, some nice hoops would have added balance.
jpf
Maniston is sooo ugly. I can't stant her. The pity party is over. Now move on.
She's gotten skinnier. I think she would be able to pull of this look if she ate some more.
I never really thought that she was pretty or ugly in the first place. Just sophisticated.
I still like AJ more, but I wish JA luck with Vince and everything else.
Damn! I missed Jen's premiere. If only I had known. Since i moved to California, I've been going to a couple movie premieres, especially since they're not that far away.
If it's true that AJ went over and took a photo with those guys who staked out all night after she found out they were there, I think it is really sweet... that is, if it's true. But you know what, if guys were staking out all night at my place, and I was a celeb, I would do the same thing, that is if it werent my hollywood home... the security there is tight. If I knew that I didn't want my reputation to go down in the gutter, having a controversial affair. I'm sure it was the PR thing to do. But I do think it's great that she's not afraid to go up close to perfect strangers on the street and take photos with them.
She learned that from her father, Jon Voight, I bet. I remember seeing him more than a couple times and he was nice enough to give a quick hello to certain ladies or be willing to have his photo taken. I did notice he would purposely ignore certain types of ethnic women and refuse to shake their hands. That's somehting about him I could tell I didnt like. It was a very odd impression he gave in person more than once and some people noticed.
Maniston please take this advice. Stop making films. It's just not your thing. Thank you.
Why does Jennifer open her mouth when she smiles?
I notice she does that a lot.
Not her best look.
agree w/#3
For a older looking mature woman like JA. Her pony-tail doesn't look good with that dress.
She just has a very angular bone structure. Attractive, not bad looking at all. And I agree with O jpf, the dress looks nice too. When are these insults gonna end on both sides of the fence?! Honestly! It's like dealing with Cheerleader moms or football dads! Far worst then anything the kids could do!
Why is it that you mean spirited loosers have nothing better to do than bag out JA? I mean HELLO have any of you looked in the mirror lately? Why dont you post a picture of yourself on the net so we can look at your flaws. And wots all the fuss with AJ? Hello shes a tramp and Brads a cheating pig they deserve each other.
It appears that Chris McMillan had the day off. Hair-pulled-back-on-a-ponytail only emphasize her prominent nose, chin, and ears and non-existent cheekbones.
Fuck off, Jen looks radiant. Better than Brad, and more regal than you little pricks.
Jen rox.
Although I like Brad and Angelina as a couple, I wish Jen happiness and success. GO Jen GO!!!

WE DON'T NEED TO POST OUR PICTURES...WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING AT HER!! FUGLY FACE, FUGLY CHIN, PROMINENT NOSE, VISIBLE PERKY TITS...AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER HAIRLINE?? THEY SCRAPED HER HAIRLINE??? OH MAN...SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE A MAN!!
"OH MAN...SHE REALLY LOOKS LIKE A MAN!!"
LOL, shut up, u jennifer gawking fool!
Anyway, considering Washington DC has one of the highest crime rates, I think it was pretty darn foolish of AJ (as usual) to go near those stalkers. But if I were in her shoes, i'd feel pretty bad if I just ignored them, considering they were out there for so long. But it's Wash DC, you fool! Even with security, the guy can pull a fast one and stick a knife in your side. Idiot.
Now , I know why she's always covering 2/3rd of her face with the curtain of hair. without those hair she is really below average look. I'm not saying she is ugly . Courtney Cox look prettier than her but CC doesn't had a megastar Ex-hubby to back up her career.
Well, atleast her breasts arent sagging like Angelina's. And you wanna talk about hairline... look at how HUGE Angelina's forehead is. You would think she was going bald like her brother. And Jen looking old? She looks young for her age. Angelina's the one who looks old for her age. She looks 40! If she looks like that now, imagine when she actually is 40! And man oh man, have you noticed those wrinkles on AJ's face? What has all that smoking, drugs, traveling, lesbian sex and drinking done to her?
Is it the sign of aging, her nose and chin are becoming more and more prominent. and skin , dry and leathery probably from too much tan and smoking. (she better stop it if she want to stay in hollywood). she's not pretty but not ugly very average.
she looks very pretty (as usual!) :O)
да нифига вы не понимаете! дженнифер великолепна! а вы все уроды-америкоты!
75% rotten tomatoes ...out of 8 reviews. seriously, this part may win aniston an award she do desperately covets...any award. she plays those weak, confused and patheic women roles very well. i don't like her at all..but that dress if fierce.
Jen's face is a little stiff looking, it kinda gives me a headache when i think about it, but she's still beautiful in my book with a wonderful spirit! She still smiles for her fans. atleast she's not always straight faced and serious looking like angelina. how do u keep a face straight like that for so long? angelina's face is so stone cold looking.
Not another boring black dress, would it kill her to try something different?
At first she looks kinda okey but I'll keep my comment on the close ups 'cuz its not nice.
Jennifer has always been into playing safe so I'm not surprised she keeps on wearing black. For a regular working girl the "little black dress" might do the trick for the occasional nite out w/ the boyfriend or partner but for a millionaire and for somebody have Chris McMillan at her beck & call and the money to find a knock-out dress she sure does lack the confidence to put on something different for ocassions like the Oscars and premiers....
she is so cute!!!!! love the dress! she has class!!!!
and again haters....it shows there are haters in both side(angelina and jen)
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for saying terrible things about Jennifer Aniston. JA looks FANTASTIC. She always presents well and has a very classic style. I love you JA. You always...repeat always look bloody good.
She looks beautiful, the dress is hot and to the haters she is probably better looking than all of you.
I always respond to the fact that she is so genuine and honest about herself in interviews. She is so natural. She looks very nice as well.
She is average at best. The chin scares me.
I think she comes across as self-involved and indifferent.
Jenniffer looks very beautiful and great for her age!! At least she is real, without make overs. She is not false as that puffy lipped whore AJ!!!
Leave Jennifer alone you F%&* BAMZ morons!!
A shame she doesn't wear also a big black hood -- look at that face, it seems made with pongo. Rat-face should stay at home watchinh her fav talkshow with her ugly boyfriend. Mean woman.
Dont you wish there was a trapdoor under her and you could just push a button?
she looks great, put she should put her hair down...
She looks like this puppet, Madame
http://ladybunny.net/blog/2005/04/wayland-flowers.html
Her nose is HUGE! I mean that honker has it's own zip code
My like of Jennifer Aniston fluctuates. Some days I think shes absolutely pathetic and others I think shes gorgeous. Although she is collagen filled and skin pulled, in this picture she does look pretty good. So today will be one of the days where I like her!
My Blog
Celebrity Gossip
She looks cute except for her ponytail. Her dress is great! She looks happy. She looks like Jennifer whose hairstylist was on vacation.
Oh I am not a fan of hers nor do I "hate" her. These are the new pictures up so I looked at them. I really do like her dress.
Now where are the pictures I am interested in? LOL
I don't like her, but she doesn't look bad. A bit plain and the lights showing her age, but she's pretty. I don't think the rottentomatoes score will stay high, the reviews are too few, it will decrease soon.
Jen is so beautiful, and in the near future a picture where her and Brad are standing 75 feet from each other will be released, and the world will end.
Don't like her, she's getting worst every year. In friends she was alright. Courtney Cox is prettier.
Looking at her though, Man! Her nose seems to have taken on a life of it's own, it's distracting. I guess I never really realized how close her eyes are to each other because she always had her hair covering her face. Note to Jen, ponytails do not work for you. She's 37 but she looks so much older. I agree Courtney was/is so much prettier but hey she didn't marry Brad Pitt.
All that hype that surrounded her for years you can now see was just that, hype because of who she was married to. I'm just so distracted by that nose and I'm sorry her chin could cut you in two
come on people, at least we don't have to look at the f'n poker straigh curtain of hair.
She kind of looks like Olympia Dukakis, or at least will when she gets old.
She need to put on weight to fill out her face. The chin is just too manish...
Please remember she had/has no say in how her chin looks. She was created that was and to insult her features is insulting the creator. We all seem to have forgotten that just like we can't choose who our parents are, we also can't choose what we look like.
With that said, I have to ask what is up with that dress? If I had my way, Jen Aniston would be the sharpest dressed person I hollywood. Look at the air, it looks like she just got out of bed, remembered she had a premier to go to, dumped so grease on it and pulled it up. Baby girl, don't you know all eyes are on you? Then the shoes? Don't get me started on that. She is not you classic beauty but she is pretty in her own way. She just has to find a fashion style that enhances her looks. I wish she'd drop the little girl lost look, it does not suit her. She needs to carry herself like the mature, pretty woman she is. Take some lessons from Halle Berry, Salma Hayek, Courtney Cox, Julia Roberts, Gillian Moore. These woman walk into a room like they own it. She needs to remove all air of uncertainty around her. Some people think she is not a good actress and I believe it is mostly because she always seems unsure of herself. Conquering Hollywood is a very daunting task to undertake but she can do it, just be bold. I agree that she plays it safe, she has to take pride in who she is, say to the world "this is me, this is what I have to offer, take it oe leave it" and soon enough, she'll get a more favorable response. Think it, Do It, Be it.
Her first task is to get rid of the people who let her come out looking like that. It is obvious they are trying to sabotage her career.
I wish you all would take your nasty comments somewhere else. You get upset when we make remarks about Jolie, yet you come here and do the same. If you don't like her so be it. Move on. I for one do. I think her dress and shoes are adorable, and so is she.
Stars/Celebrities when then go to premiers or awards knows they'll be examined and picked upon from the roots of their hair to their toes. It goes with the territory. It's not about her looks but more about not trying to take fashion risks.
She looks better than she did in the pic with Vaughn when they were skiing not too long ago. She looks happy. I think she does look more mature-I'm ok with the dress but she looks much better is vivid colors-I love BAMZ+1 -Anniston looks great at the premier-I hope her movie does well
Yup, now we see why she wears her hair down most of the time. She is just average looking, nothing special about her.
aaarrghh... she's never adorable! she smiled at fans just to get symphaty!! jeez! she's a fuckin fake person!! selfcenterd fugly biatch!!
She is one ugly broad, what did Brad ever see in her! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGLYl
Man even daytime soap stars are better looking than her...
I think she looks great. Love the dress though I wish her stylist would consider other colors for her besides black. A nice cholcolate brown would look good too. As far as her hair, poor girl she can't win. She wears it down , it is to hide her face. She wears it up and she looses again. I like it , with a dress like that one with that neckline she should wear it up . Now I do think she should go back to curly hair as that tends to soften angular face structures and she does have beautiful hair . As to her face, you all she is Greek and ethnically beautiful. We need to get past the Teutonic ideal of beauty, blonde & blue eyed with a small perky nose. The media has condition us to expect reality to look like the photoshop version. Lights etc. change appearance . I do wish people would quit making her looks the issue of why her relationships fail or succeed. She is a beautiful example of a Greek-American . She should gain some weight as from early Friends shows, she looks better with fuller cheeks .
I do not respect her actions/choices but that is another thread.
Jennifer has an exceptional support cast of women with exception resumes of successful movies on "Friends with money" if it fails it will be because of script. I hope it does well. She gave up a great guy for her career . He is happy and she also deserves to be happy with their choices. It is only fair. So two thumbs up for her on this movie here.
UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE LOOKS CUTE. LIKE THE DRESS.
FIN
She looks very pretty.. The dress is classy and elegant...
Does Aniston actually have fans that will pay to see her movies?
I don't respect her as a person for her conducts regarding her divorce. I don't respect her as an actress. But FINALLY I know how she looks like! And you know what, I really like that she is finally FEATURING HERSELF, not Chris McMillan (?) the hair stylist.
I have never called her 'ugly' because I don't think she is ugly, just normal, or plain. But whether beautiful or not, at least she looks OPEN TO THE WORLD, not peeking out from the curtain of her hair. I hope she continues to make this transition. Finally, thank goodness, this picture does look like she is MOVING ON. Well done, JA.
You Bamz fans are psychotic. Don't come here under fake names and say disgusting things about Jen while pretending to be someone else. Go back to Brads forum and talk non-stop about how hot he is Please. She didn't divorce Brad because of her career. She divorced him because of many reasons; one of which was his obsession with Jolie, which is something you most certainly understand because you are all similarly obsessed. If you don't have anything good to say, why say it?
Jess you deluded twit. She wants to be Julia Roberts and not a soccer mom. Brad wanted kids, family with Jen. Jen wanted Oscar. She is the left her marriage for another "man"
There are a lot of Bamz posters names I recognize on this thread who are saying nice things about Jennifer so shut up.
I am holding my 4 year old son on my lap and I hear...mommy she looks like the green goblin in spider man. He has the figurine. I compare...and wow! put some green paint on jen, she could be his twin. She looks better with the hair down.
#68 you know I can't quite understand your sentence: She is the left her marriage for another "man" What is it you're trying to say? Who would want to be Julia Roberts? I think she's satisfied being her rich, attractive self.
Anyone who brings up AJ and Brad in a thread about a new film premiere is TOTALLY obsessed.
I feel sorry for BAMZ lovers...they must be neglecting all that is REAL in their lives : their families and families.
JA looks good.
about her film
in france derailed has got more ticket than truman capote!!!it works good in france for the movie
i dont like to insult people i don't know but to ansWER TO THE HATERS ABOUT THE SKINNY BODY OF JEN SORRY BUT ANGELINA IS SKINNIER THAT JEN WHEREAS SHE IS PREGNANT SO I THINK YOU HAVE TO SHUT UP ABOUT THAT AND ABOUT THE NOSE TOO BECAUSE ANGIE' S NOSE is not real...........
Thanks God she's wearing her hair differently. It doesn't look good on her because it shows her prominent pointy features, but it's different and that's a progress with Jen. I may be in the minority but I find the dress horrible, and she does manage to dress nicely most of the times so this is seriously a fashion misstep for her.
Like malaya said, she is a public person, going to a public premiere and we are here commenting on the way she looks. You can't expect everybody to say she's beautiful now, do you?
Black as usual, the ponytail isn't cute. She looks okay, but Somebody claim Angelina breast are sagging, well Jennifer breast look very saggy at the 2000 Oscars, she needs to quit smoking.
Gosh, for goodness sake get some sandals that fit. That's a ill fitted sandal, look at her last toe sticking out of it.
What class does she have ? a 40 year old women trying to act and dress and think like a 25 year old ? Total embrassament to be forever 25 and holding in terms of intellect .. goes to show the depth of her mind .
no wonder her publicist leak out little tidbits of her wedding to Vince, her Vogue interview etc....all this in the name sake of SELF PROMOTION in the lowest form by digging on the EX ..so she appeart saintlike ...NOT .
Hope she move on at peace in her heart forever . Hard to imagine all of us having to put throught another pity party PR scam in May for her next release. What a bore !!!
Oye, how the hell did she get Brad Pitt??
She's better off putting that helmet back on her head, just to cover up her face...
JA does not look "beautiful" no matter how one defines the word.
She can look very good in ordinary everyday clothes without makeup.
She can look fascinating occassionally when dressed up, but only when from a distance.
But she never looks good when the focus is on her face and she tries hard to look happy and cheerful.
In other words, she looks better when she's natural. Nothing wrong with her natural way. She looks ugly when she tries too hard to look happy and pretty ... and all that stuff which she isn't.
FINALLY... some photos of JA! Guess she's not the media whore everyone says she is. Anyway, she looks beautiful and radiant. I think the comments about her always wearing black are kind of like the pot calling the kettle.... christ, Jolie wears nothing BUT black and that has gotten really old. Does she even change her clothes?
As far as JA's hair goes, why don't you "authorities" call her up and tell her how she should wear it because nothing she does ever seems to please you. She wore it long for the Oscar's and you harped on that... now you're saying she should wear it long. WTF? A little confused or schizophrenic?
If she hasn't already, JA will figure out that she is so much better off without self-absorbed Brad in her life. In her VF article after the breakup, she said the best thing about being single (so far), was comfortable furniture. Think about that.... how many men insist on how the house will be decorated? His wife couldn't pick out any of the furniture she wanted? Sorry, but he sounds like a selfish, controlling freak. On the other hand, AJ is just as strong-minded and opinionated, that's why they aren't gonna last.
Omg if you think that dress should only be worn by a 25 year old then there's something wrong with you. That dress is the bomb. Love it and the shoes make it. She does know how to dress classy.
The hair looks ugly and cheap. It doesn't make her look any younger, but on the contrary, makes her face appear aged.
Sarah, I agree I'm sure Brad was very difficult to live with and AJ is finding that out. For instance his continuing smoking must be a sore spot for AJ. I could go on but that's just petty stuff . If I resort to harping and picking them apart like BAMZ fans do with every little nuance of Jen then I am no better than they are, and I certainly don't want to be like them!
Oh My God She's wearing Black. Lets all start complaining about how bad she looks.. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Actually this type of dress is one I could clearly see Angelina wearing. In the movie ORIGNAL SIN she wears a lot of those types of dresses really well. But she would only be criticised by haters that she's wearing black yet again and looking witchy/vampy/slutty/whore-y...sigh...... The ex-wife doesn't look too bad here. IMO she already has success with this film....she got PAID!
I'm not going to say anything bad about Jennifer here. I used to like her a lot when watching Friends.
I just want to say she has a good shape in body, but can't really avoid or reverse what the aging left on her face -- which I believe nobody can readlly escape from it. She looks just like any 37 years olds, might be a little bit more than less. Could it be a bit too much tanning?
There's nothing wrong with black dresses, whoever wearing them. I don't understand why young women nowadays don't wear red much anymore, but black can be very elegant if you wear them well.
Sarah-Jess you are the same person LOL Better make an appointment at the loony bin, talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. I guess that explains your delusional persception of this situation.
liking her pulled back hair. she does look better with up but shes pretty anyway she wear it. hope I look that good at 37.
Swear I thought that was Dustin Hoffman with makeup . How manly can her face , neck and hands get ?
Someone should do a composite of Tootsie (without glasses) and Anistion together....swear they look alike .... well except that Tootsie has talent and Aniston is in another sub classs of her own LOL
Jen is pretty but does not exude femininity. She has a masculine type of beauty.
To BAMZ Lovers:
The difference is this.... say all you want to about Jennifer Aniston, she's ugly, her hair, her chin, blah, blah, blah, but we don't feel the need to DEFEND HER and to personally ATTACK YOU for what you said about her. See the difference?
Hi JESS! Great minds DO think alike!!
Sarah.I read your comment about Brad being torn to shreds on Dlisted.Did you see the thread from 3/25 Don,t fell sorry for me?They were also tearing Jen into shreds.My point is why even bring up that tacky web site into the conversation.The people who post there use vulgar and foul language and have no class what so ever.So let's not go there.Your arguement about the furniture was funny,because something tells me Angelina could careless about the furniture,she cares about taking care of the kids. P.S When has Angelina been labeled as difficult?Every interview I have ever read people always commented on how easy she was to deal and work with.They always comment on how low maintenance she is.
Dear LOU,
And how is THIS site any different? This isn't tacky or vulgar, with foul language??? Where did you read that I said Angelina is difficult?? I said she is strong minded and opinionated - twisting words like the BAMZ freaks are so famous for, huh? Well maybe it's good she doesn't care about furniture cause Bradley obviously does.
BTW, GET REAL (and all the other names YOU go by) I am not Jess, just Sarah. Guess the jokes on you, idiot.
Jennifer is nothing but a PR driven whiner, Also Brad and Angelina haven't said one bad thing about her, she is the one doing all the yapping. Her fans cannot deny that she does have a big chin, and a big nose...the truth is in the pics. It's not our fault she looks like that.
With Jennifer playing in this movie, it will probably only make about 15 million dollars, if that.. She should wear something other than black.
# 93 |
"Well maybe it's good she doesn't care about furniture cause Bradley obviously does."
Thank you Sarah, yes that means Jolie-Pitt are COMPATIBLE. Angie seems to be the kind who would care about sharp corners of Brad's furniture for the safely of her kids. Didn't they say he scrapped all those modern stuff into storage to accomodate the kids? He didn't need to do that with JA because they were NO KIDS.
Angelina may wear black in her everyday life, but she spices it up for premieres, much more than Jen. She wore black for Mr. and Mrs. Smith because if you're wearing leather, than black it is. She wore red for Alexander's premiere in London, white for Sky Captain, a beige miniskirt for Taking Lives and a pantsuit in Cannes, a floral dress for a Vanity Fair Luncheon back in 2004 and red again for Mohammad Ali's reception back in September.
Jennifer Aniston wore black three times in less than 6 months, including the premiere of Derailed, Oscars and this one. Even when she was with Brad she didn't take any risks fashion-wise wearing white, blue, but mostly black because that's how she is.The only time I really liked Jen was at the Emmys in 04 when she wore that embroidered dress and let her hair down all fluffy and wavy. That's her best look so far.
Happy Sarah and Jess?
No Sarah is not Jess. I'm sure Sarah has no need to "pretend" to be anyone but herself.
Lou, according to you the only thing AJ concerns herself with (being the paragon of virtue that she is ) is taking care of the children. Please. She has NO interest in furniture? How do you know this? Are you her good friend? Also according to Bamz fans only "good " things are attributed to AJ, and the mean and hateful things belong to Brad's ex-wife, Jen. You guys need to take a reality check yourselves.
Sarah,why are you getting so upset?I don't use foul language,and for the most part Bamz fan's don't.Then you go on to call someone a Bamz freak.There no need to go postal. P.S I have not posted under the name BTW,GET REAL OR I AM NOT JESS,I think you are getting a little paranoid.
Boy she's a hot mess, no wonder Brad left her.. This movie will flop.. and the only reason The Break Up will make any money at all is because VV is in it. After this year, Dont expect her to be in any Big Screen movies, She is poison to A list hollywood.
# 14
It is true, she did take the picture with the stalker fans, It was on the news and everything, AJ is a very down to earth person, And not at all stuck on herself.
#97 Oh wait a minute! I thought Angie would never be caught dead on the RED carpet and Angie could care less about that and Angie never felt the need to DRESS up to be on the red carpet and Angie didn't think the red carpet was important and yada, yada, yada. NOW we hear how much MORE dressy Angie has been on the REd Carpet than Jen. OH you silly people!
I still can't shake off that feeling after reading the Vogue interview where JA seemed to trash (everyone and) her movies - and by extension the cast - because they didn't so well at the box office.
I wonder if she'd trash Vince if BreakUp tanks?
Okay LOU,
I will try to explain this to you a little more s-l-o-w-l-y so you can get it. Believe me, it'll take a lot more than you to get me going. You said that DListed was vulgar, tacky and full of foul language... and I said, how is that different from this one?? If you think BAMZ fans don't use foul language, you are delusional or blind. Now, here's the tricky part: the next paragraph that I wrote was to "GET REAL", not YOU! If you'll read her post up above, she said that me (Sarah) and Jess (another poster) were the same people. I was simply telling her that she was wrong for assuming that, as well as an idiot, which she is.
Did you get that? I am not upset, postal or paranoid thank you very much.
To GET REAL (and all the other names you go by):
Gee, I was wondering how does one go about proving an allegation that they are not impersonating another poster and voila! If you'll notice post #102 from JESS was @ 11:02 and mine was #104 @ 11:04. I think that should clear up your confusion.
I don't feel Angelina is a paragon of virtue.I do admire the fact she had the courage to turn her life around,and I feel people deserve a second chance in life.I harbor no ill will toward Jen,nor do I wish anything bad on her.I do however have a problem with her doing interviews and always talking about the breakup with Brad.Its been over a year lets move on.I also have a problem with people posting on this thread about how ugly Jen is,granted she's not drop dead gorgeous,she looks ok.My point is this whole situation is out of control and people need to get a handle on it.
She is uglyier than the boils on my dogs ass,, Got how did Brad do it. She must have walked around the house with a black bag over her head.
like her hate her your business and why bring brad and angie into this whether she has a big nose long chin is it really compulsory you watch her god made all of us and i can tell you this no one and i repeat no one is special than they others if being sexy adds a minute to how long we live then maybe you can talk but it doesn't we all have our imperfections and yes angie and brad included so get on with it people life is too short for us sit down and really be criticising what we cannot create jen looks lovely yu either accept or you don't and do yu really think it matters no and by the way this film has received much more better reviews than the last two so get used to it we all fall many times but we always get back standing everyone in hollywood hs made flops name them they all have and to those who are criticising her about the divorce it is done and dusted whether she talks or not we know the paper will still print please do not start abusing me someone abused me sometime ago and inever abused or criticise anyone
I'm sorry, but I used to be a huge JA fan in the early friends days.
Now she comes across as someone milking as many pity parties as poss for the sake of her career, with sad expressions, and black dresses. Meanwhile behind the scenes she's getting drunk, smoking pot and partying with Vince
AJ/BP have not said a thing, and are trying to have a normal life, its the paparazzi that follow them everywhere, they're not seeking it
All the compassion I had had for JA 's situation has gone. I make her skin crawl if I felt sorry for her anyway, right
As for the outfit, I'm sorry but there are so many more attractive and talented starlets out there. And I think she should keep the hair down

I don't think Jolie cares how she looks every day, just as her critics like you are harping on her wearing black all the time. For red carpet, I heard her interview saying she owes it to people and does trump up to be a 'movie star' that she is.
I think JA's critics on her dress (I don't care, looks boring but nice) are saying that JA doesn't know how to RISE UP FOR THE OCCASION like a movie star. Being on TV is very different from movies and also Jolie was a fashion model, knows how to pose on cue, knows how to change her pose and look for different camera angles every few seconds. It's a skill JA doesn't have, that many movie starts need to have. In short JA looks amateurish as a movie star, but that's OK because she is.
LOU: I agree with you 100%! It is WAY out of control. The people who call JA ugly can say what they want, but they don't put ugly people on 100's of magazine covers that sell now do they?
I actually think AJ is a good actress and I do think she has grown up alot. I just think her and Brad should have/could have handled the whole thing differently or more discreetly. Unlike you, I don't think Jen has whined at all. The press is the one that is always bringing up the breakup when they interview her. By her actions, she is trying to put it all behind her, but people don't notice that. That's just my opinion on the whole mess.
#111- yes they do put ugly people on 100's of magazines, Paris Hilton for example and she has no function in life!
#108- take off the caps and use a period and comma once in a while and maybe more people would read your post.

"The press is the one that is always bringing up the breakup"
JA has a power-house PR person Steve Huvane, who can control the press. Jolie-Pitt made press to sign a contract not to ask any personal questions, and threatened to leave any interview if they were asked. Why can't JA-Huvane do the same? Don't blame on the press. JA WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT.
I do agree that it's uncalled for to criticize JA's face. However, hair and dress, are part of the props, changable item which controbute to her image, thus people do criticize.
Jen looks absolutely beautiful...black dress..hair tied up...and HAPPY!!!!! tHATS the best revenge against AJBP who look ghastly lately, BP with his battered bruised up miserable hang dog face and AJ, hiding behind sunglasses, all tensed up and unsmiling (check out the recent pics when she came out from some humanitarian meeting).
yea but then again she also has the right to not to comment. By commenting just adds more catastrophes.

i agree on some of the things you wrote.
Once again copying AJ. Always in black and now hair up. God does she have any originality in that pea-brain of hers?
I know, I know it's Jen's link, but can't help, it's a such good article. Enjoy!
The two sides of Angelina Jolie
By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY
Jumping off a high-rise while wearing black dominatrix gear and sky-high stiletto heels? It's all in a day's work for Angelina Jolie. (Related gallery: Jolie's colorful life)
But navigating her way around a kitchen? That presented a bigger problem for the domestically challenged actress, who plays a bored assassin/housewife in the comedic thriller Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It opens Friday.
"Angie does not have the homemaker thing going," Akiva Goldsman, a producer on the movie, says with a laugh. "There's a scene where she kicks the oven door closed behind her. I showed her how to do that. She looked at me as though I had showed her that you could create gold out of thin air. The idea that you could kick an oven door closed was entirely alien to her."
It's vintage Jolie, who at 30 is nothing if not a comely cluster of contradictions.
The tattooed former wild child — who in her younger years battled an eating disorder and self-mutilation and later famously wore a necklace containing a drop of her then-husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood — has evolved into a vocal and hands-on celebrity goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Today, the smoldering beauty is equally at home visiting the displaced in eastern Jordan, hobnobbing with global leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, or posing on the red carpet in a clingy Celine dress. She is now by all accounts the doting single mom of adopted son Maddox, 3, but acknowledges being a sexual woman who takes lovers when it suits her. And she has been branded a homewrecker in the tabloids for her did-they, didn't-they relationship with Brad Pitt, who plays her assassin husband in Smith.
Chances are Jolie (who did not respond to interview requests) won't care much what the public thinks. She's too busy living her life on her own terms. Which makes people all the more interested.
"She charts her own route, and audiences really appreciate it when you're not trying to copy someone who came before or trying to be somebody else," Smith director Doug Liman says. "She wants to take flying lessons, and boom, she's got her license. She makes no apologies. 'This is who I am. Take it or leave it.' "
Since winning the supporting-actress Oscar for her frenzied turn in Girl, Interrupted, Angelina Jolie hasn't exactly filled theater seats on her own.
Her three hits — an ensemble movie about car thieves, an action film based on a video game and an animated flick about sharks — had other major lures.
"The movies she has done lately have had a stunt quality to them," says David Edelstein, a film critic for Slate and NPR's Fresh Air. "But I still find her performances enchanting. She's probably the most playful of the leading actresses we have right now, and I'm always alert to her on screen."
Perhaps her luck will change when she spars with Brad Pitt in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which opens Friday. Her track record:
(In millions)
Girl, Interrupted (1999: $28.9M
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000): $101.6M
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001): $131.2M
Original Sin (2001): $16.5M
Life or Something Like It (2002): $14.4M
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003): $65.7M
Beyond Borders (2003): $4.4M
Taking Lives (2004): $32.7M
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004): $37.8M
Shark Tale (2004): $160.9M
Alexander (2004) : $34.3M

It's notable that even though most of her movies have tanked both commercially and critically, Jolie is considered an A-lister in Hollywood. With the exception of 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, the Oscar winner has never carried a hit movie. Yet Jolie's persona is so super-sized, her looks so unique, that her films seem almost an afterthought.
"She is larger than life, but she can't help it," says David Edelstein, film critic at Slate and NPR's Fresh Air. "Even her name is mythic. She's a magnificently sexual creature, (seems) a little nuts and isn't afraid to let her roles consume her. She makes you rejoice in the artifice of acting."
Her personality and unwillingness to be just another bland, by-the-numbers Hollywood starlet are just what make Jolie so appealing.
"Women identify with her because she seems smart and independent and empowered," Smith screenwriter Simon Kinberg says. "Men are attracted to her because she happens to be incredibly beautiful. And playful."
Adds Variety's Mike Speier: "She's got the danger quality. She's not a goody-goody. Yes, she adopted a baby, but she's not on TRL telling kids not to do drugs."
Talk to anyone who knows Jolie and you'll hear nearly identical descriptions of their first impressions: Without the buffer of a personal publicist, Jolie looks you straight in the eye, shakes your hand and asks about you.
"She's not a cold or divisive person," says Estée Lauder makeup artist Paul Starr, who has worked on Jolie since 1998's Gia and features her in his upcoming book, Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women. "She comes in without an entourage. She's extremely professional and shows up three minutes before the call time. She knows her job."
As for her relationship with Pitt during the shoot, all say it was "professional," too. The two leads have largely stayed mum while promoting the film, save to praise each other as actors.
Still, in an interview last April, Pitt lamented that his co-star was misunderstood. "I've never seen someone so misperceived in the press," he said. "Jolie's really a delightful human being, a dedicated mother and really quite normal. (She's) dedicated to her work with the U.N. There's actually a real lightness to her."
Jolie doesn't dwell on the scuttlebutt about her sex life.
"The press can say I'm dating whomever, they can say whatever about my films, and it doesn't hurt anybody," she says in the July issue of Marie Claire magazine in an interview March 28. "But misinterpret something that has to do with refugees, and it could affect them in a bad way."
In the same interview, Jolie quashes tales of an on-set fling with Pitt, who was then still with his wife, Jennifer Aniston, who has since filed for divorce. "To be intimate with a married man, when my own father (actor Jon Voight) cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive," she said. "I could not, could not, look at myself in the morning if I did that."
Today, Jolie lives with Maddox outside London rather than in the Tinseltown celebrity fishbowl. She remains estranged from her father, who said on television that she has "extreme problems." When she's not jetting to refugee camps, Jolie pilots planes, gets tattoos and socializes with whomever she chooses, even if it risks tabloid attention. (In May, she had dinner with her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller, and their photos showed up in the tabs.) But by most accounts, her free time is dedicated to her U.N. work and Maddox.
Kinberg calls Jolie a "very hands-on" mom. "He's always around, and she's always with him."
When Maddox asked for spiky hair while attending the Venice Film Festival with Jolie last autumn, she obliged, recalls Vicky Jenson, who directed Jolie in last year's animated hit Shark Tale. Maddox is "a barnacle attached to her shoulder. She's very loving with him. She encouraged him to say 'Hi' to people but didn't push him. He'd get shy and hide under her hair."
The twice-divorced Jolie, on the other hand, never appears bashful. There she goes, posing with Pitt on the cover of the July issue of W magazine even as rumors about them reach a fever pitch.
Fortunately for her, Jolie never reads the tabloids that follow her life and loves, says Smith's Goldsman, and in fact knows nothing about pop culture. Instead, "she's more interested in the kind of books we read in high school and college and then stopped reading."
Jolie sat around on the set and hung out with the cast and crew between takes. "She doesn't gossip, and she's weirdly culturally removed," Goldsman says. "She doesn't waste her energy on silliness. You'll never find common ground with her based on what's on TV or what's in the tabloids."
And there's nothing understated about Jolie's beauty, from the bodacious lips to the cat-like eyes and eye-poppingly curvy body. Jolie is one of the very few celebrities who looks as good in person, if not better, than in airbrushed magazine photos. When she is on the red carpet, Jolie appears regal, composed — and slightly bored.
"I don't think she realizes how genetically blessed she is," says Marie Claire editor Rebecca Shalam, who has known Jolie for four years and has watched her get dirty with Maddox in the park. "I don't think she's aware of the effect she has on men and women. She's thinking about getting aid to Ethiopia and not necessarily about, 'Oh, are they going to say I have a 26-inch waist or do I need liposuction?' "
As a result, Shalam says, "people are fascinated by her confidence, her independence, her total lack of pretension, her genuine desire to help people who aren't in position to help themselves."
Shannon Boyd, manager of the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and Special Events Programs, has worked with Jolie for four years and calls her "very engaged" and "courageous." The actress is in contact with the U.N. on a nearly daily basis, and as soon as her schedule opens, is willing to go on another mission, she says. "We treat her as a colleague. She sleeps on colleagues' sofas, and if all we have is a spare floor, she does that. She gets her half-liter of water to go on a long jeep ride in 100-degree weather if that's what everyone else has."
In addition to her 20-plus missions, Jolie has donated substantial amounts of money to the organization and "has paid her own way since day one," says Boyd.
But she's no ponderous pontificator you dread sitting next to at a dinner party.
"For someone as dedicated to very serious things in the world, she has the ability to really laugh," Kinberg says. "Her sense of humor is mature, sophisticated. She understands irony and has wryness and doesn't take herself that seriously. When you're working with her, you don't feel like you're working with Kofi Annan."
