Is Jennifer Aniston entitled to throw pity parties for herself?

According to Suzanne Moore this Sunday she should just get over it, because she's rich, young and good-looking and there are no children involved.
Quote "Being dumped for Angelina Jolie cannot be nice and could surely happen to anyone. But, Jesus, Jennifer Aniston talks about herself as though she has a terminal illness."

I think that's a very cruel and superficial way of looking at it. If Jennifer Aniston took her marriage vows seriously, why should she be over it and "moving on" only seven (? I think) months after the split?

When I first saw that bat, I thought it was that other bat, the ex.

The ex who said, without tongue in cheek, that BF mothers were weirdos who got their rocks off from BF.

Tumbleweed.

how did this get from Jennifer Aniston to Tumbleweed? Oh the joys of latenightmumsnetting.

Didn't Jen Aniston kick out Brad??! I'm sure I read that she instigated the marriage breakup because she didn't want kids and he did.. (I wanted to get a tshirt with 'I'LL HAVE YOUR BABY BRAD!' printed on it! ).. but then all the Ange Jolie stuff hit the headlines..

although i really cant stand jennifer aniston i dont think she should "just get over it". perhaps it wouldnt be so bad if they werent playing happy families right now. if posing for a magazine as a make believe family with three little kiddies isnt rubbing it in her face i dont know what is! (and all the money in the world cant heal a broken heart i reckon)

Suzanne Moore used to be a tub-thumping quasi marxist femninst theorist, at least she was when I was doing my degree, based part of my dissertation on one of her theories

Imagine my suprise 12 years later when not only did she start writing for the Mail but she ditched the feminist hardline and I spotted her doing the shopping and picking up her kids like the rest of us gender-oppressed proles in Highgate. LOL

gingerbear · 09/08/2005 09:21

'gender-oppressed proles' LMAO!

When Linda McCartney was first diagnosed with breast cancer years ago I think it was Suzanne Moore who wrote an article about how she'd never really liked her that much. ffs.

How can you NOT get your rocks off when something is pummelling your pillows??!!

bubble99 · 09/08/2005 11:11

At 4am, with teeth?

Speaking as the sort of person who takes ages to get over a breakup - tears, snot, one-night-stands, depression, the lot - I think JA is doing rather well. And is probably going to come out of it a lot more emotionally intact than someone who just coasts on to the next adoring partner. It's a loss, ffs. Why shouldn't she mourn?

julieburchill · 09/08/2005 11:35

Sounds good to me!

I used to really like Brad Pitt.
But getting together with Jolie.....No, sorry.
Lots of men love Jolie.
Most women just don't like her.
I think its because, I don't like her, because she's not a woman's woman. I can't help but feel that she would 'screw your husband, if she thought it would help her get what she wants.'

I used to like Aniston.
But like Caligula says... it might be nonsense,
But she is 36. Didn't want to have kids to pursue film career ? If that is true, then what a ninny .

But she should be allowed to grieve. It is early days yet.

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 12:32

The way Jolie sleeps with all her co-stars would seemto suggest she's not the most secure of women. But all actors sleep with each other onset. They usually just don't carry it on afterwards.

i read that Jolie said that she would never have a child because it would be one less taken out of an orphanage and she couldn't live with herself.

And I thought JA did want kids too, but fgs she's only in mid 30's isn't she.

suzywong · 09/08/2005 12:47

do they?
do they really all sleep with each other?
Howdya know? Care to drop names?

I think at your pity party we would feed you Hagen Das and drink Taboo and lemonade and braid your hair and let you repeat the same stories endlessly and then end it by bringing in a big wax dolly of your ex which we kick the crap out of

starrynight · 09/08/2005 12:47

batters - that sounds very therapeutic and I may be throwing one of those soon.

Loony lady from next door keeps on about a divorce party - god I can't face it.

starrynight · 09/08/2005 12:47

God, this party sounds great - talk about going back to your teenage years

MarsLady · 09/08/2005 12:48

Yes!

snafu · 09/08/2005 12:48

Or a Pinata Ex which you could beat with big sticks until chocolate and miniature bottles of vodka fall out of it...
