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?

A hell of a lot more use than a real ex!

starrynight · 09/08/2005 12:49

anything that spews chocolate is good for me! (apart from actual people of course eugh)

suzywong · 09/08/2005 12:49

yeah and then me and batters (as we are cleary the ringleaders) would go through all your old copies of Smash Hits with you stopping at each page and asking you who you fancy and who would make a nice boyfriend.

And then we'd nick your mum's cigarettes and all share one in the bathroom with the window open and then take draughts of Listerine to hide the smell

Who's going to bring the blutak so I can stick the posters round my room?

suzywong · 09/08/2005 12:52

Ummmm..snafu is

snafu · 09/08/2005 12:54

Yeah, I get all the best jobs

I shall bring my Miners sparkly eyeshadow and matching nail varnish as well though...and video of St Elmo's Fire.

It's an unwritten rule that on set=doesn't count. Not everyone will but the majority of blokes will put the feelers out, IYSWIM.

starrynight · 09/08/2005 12:57

Are you an actor Monkey? (wondering about this free groping lark)

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 13:06

Was - (though that could be construed as now I'm just bitter, which I'm not!!!!)

  • took two years off to have baby and study had to rethink what I wanted to do. 2 years is a long time + I'm in my thirties now and the market has an insatiable thirst for younger models. And actors are incredibly narcissistic loonies (no offence Spidy!). The lifestyle is not conducive to a happy secure relationship. DP asked me to give it up and I did. And I'm happier...and relatively sane in comparison.

Batters - of course everyone has the choice - its just that you don't know what to believe, do you ?

I read that she said, that she did want kids.
She said that she had promised Brad, that they would, after she finished friends.
But, after finishing friends, she then decided she wanted to pursue film.
O.k.
But, I was thinking to myself, she's 36 now.
Pursue film. That could take atleast 3 or 4 years.
That would make her 40.

And of course she could still conceive then.
But we all know, that it gets harder to conceive, as we get older.

I just thought that she was taking more and more of a risk, in delaying the trying to conceive.

And then suddenly, conceiving is not an option, because her husband gets it on with Jolie.
How awful.

But, of course this is all speculation, because what I read about her, is probably nonsense.

suzywong · 09/08/2005 13:18

ooohh Miners eyeshadow! I had a 7 colour pallette in mauve and blue.... fantastic

monkeytrousers, do you live in an actor-ish enclave? just wondering, I am not an actor but used to live in one, couldn't walk down the highstreet without tripping over the supporting cast of The Bill,. And I knew a couple of women in your postion too.

dillydally · 09/08/2005 13:20

I like Jolie
Dont particularly care about Jen
Dont even mind if she instigated the break up and then threw herself a pity party ( I believe a Dart Board fashioned from a Brad picture is surely essential to proceedings)
A break up can be tough from both sides (dumper and dumpee - so i am lead to believe)

I loathe Suzanne Moore

'Fraid not. I'm in the theatrical wilderness they call 'the north'. DP is a filmmaker though, just documentaries though. Was at Jill Halfpennys birthday party the other week though. Ant and Dec were not there!

Rach D, I think many female actors find it incredibly difficult to make the break from work. Actors like JA will have work scheduled for years to come. They don't just have to think about themselves, they have staff, publisists, a whole JA industry. It takes alot to escape it.

RachD · 09/08/2005 13:28

Suzywong seem to be describing ... one of those 'best ever parties aged 15'

Can't we just have one of those for the hell of it ???

Those who not interested in JA, not a problem, come anyway.
And those that are , can hire their wigs from cod.

How cool !!!

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 13:28

Cod...EH??

bundle · 09/08/2005 13:32

sad is fine (actually, required, v much agree with motherinferior's pov) but parties??? (am I taking things too literally, or are they actually parties)

RachD · 09/08/2005 13:33

Appreciate that Monkeytrousers.
I'm sure the JA empire is huge and she can't just cancel when she feeels like it.

What did you do, did you have loads of things planned that you had to cancel when you found out that you were pregnant ?
You didn't get sued, did you ?

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 13:34

Mind you they get enough to make it worth while, so I don't feel too sorry for them. Or at all, really.

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 13:36

Erm..yeah, it was just like that!

Don't think anyone noticed to tell you the truth, Rach.

suzywong · 09/08/2005 13:41

batters!

we are flicking through Smash Hits at this party, not the sex positions pages of More!

And my dad will be picking me up at 10.30 and you know as well as I do it's a school night

Caligula · 09/08/2005 13:58

Nobody has yet mentioned a karaoke machine, with "I will survive" as one of the high points. Essential, surely?

monkeytrousers · 09/08/2005 14:00

Oh, or my mums favourite 'I am a woman in love" by Barbara Streisand. Blurgghhh!
