A Really Bad Rumor

Rumor has it that you shouldn't see Rumor Has It.... Actually, it's not a rumor. It's fact. Saw it last night. Ugh! Bad plot. Bad screenplay. Bad acting by one Jennifer Aniston. (Will she ever stop playing the neurotic, insecure, pouty woman? I swore she was going to start calling Mark Ruffalo "Ross" at one point. She was totally being Rachel Green.) Mena Suvari was annoying. Kevin Costner looked old.

Bad, bad, bad!

The only good thing about the movie was the supporting role of Ms. Shirley MacLaine. She was a firecracker. That woman has still got it. And she looks great for her age.

Off to the Squid and the Whale. Ain't vacation great?

What a shock!!! Please Miss Aniston is no Julia Roberts. She needs to retire and do us all a big favor.

jackz said:

i actually like her, her acting is cute and different,now the dick and jane movie looks like the dumbest movie ever made....

Trish said:

Lauren...seriously, do you not have anytrhing better to do then bag on Jennifer? Everytime I get on here and there's an article that mentions Jennifer Aniston's name, you are always bagging on her. Go start you're 'Angelina for President' campaign somewhere else, PLEASE!!!

Lauren said:

Trish,
You don't like what i haev to say?, Too bad!! And as for "Angelina For President", that doesn't Sound like a bad idea. At least out of her and Miss Aniston she gets involved with important world affairs.

Patrick said:

*she gets involved with important world affairs*

Yes,like bedding married men.

Lauren said:

Just like most of our US Presidents: Jefferson, Clinton, Kennedy.. and the list goes on and on and on.

gag said:

the list might go on and on and on but do you have to?

Lauren said:

Only if you provoke me.

Lauren said:

I love how people attack me as if i am some common enemy. Give me a break. You don't like what I have to say then prove me wrong,but don't pass judgment on me based on opinion.

Lizziechamu said:

Personal feelings about Jennifer's love life aside - she really is not that great an actress on the movie screen. She is a good sitcom actress - she should go back to TV.

Peaches said:

IA. Lizzie,

Aside from all the personal crap, I find her limited as an actress. I don't agree with the America's Sweetheart title they have assigned to her that has been given to such actresses as Megan Ryan, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock. They have proven they have longevity on the big screen and have played different types of characters, not just the cute, loveable girl next door. IA. that sitcoms seems to be were Jennifer is best suited.

meowmeow said:

Hahaha. Lauren I know how you feel.

Its like people purposely twist your words around to start a pointless argument to prove some sort of intelligence.

At least you're not the only one!

Lauren said:

I mean MEOWMEOW people like us are clearly more superior in the IQ dept. Otherwise why would these people pick on us? Oh and as a side note.... anyone who is going to pick at my spelling or grammer to prove your intelligence succeeds mine, don't, the game is really old.

Lily said:

Lauren, I couldn't agree with you and Meow more! And by the way Gag, Patrick and Trish try using the one brain cell you have left and write something worth reading.

Crappy lives??
People who spend most of there time provoking people they dont even know- have crappy lives.

Christ said:

DO ANY OF YOU PEOLPE WORK !! LOOKS LIKE PEOPLE SPEND A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME ON THIS !!

sunny said:

I know,its the same names all the time.It's just like someone said these people just like to provoke people.Its really immature!!! Geee let me guess....your going to attack me next?

Peaches said:

IA. You can't even have a decent conversation about the subject matter because of all the bickering going on. If you don't agree with a post to the point that your reply will disrupt the entire post just ignore the person or the persons response.

sunny said:

I agree this is supposed to be fun.
I mean,cant us women get along while we gossip? Do we always have to fight and insult people? I agree with peaches fully!!! If you have a different oppinion then just agree to dissagree or move on.

Jackie said:

I TOTALLY agree that every single movie Jennifer Aniston makes is some version of Rachel Green. I have been telling my husband this for at least the past year. This woman has no range whatsoever. Maybe that's why Meg Ryan tried that dark, sexual movie she did a couple years ago, because no one thought she could be anything except a girl next door type. Well, that movie bombed and so did her image with a lot of moviegoers. We will probably have to accept that Friends is the best we get from J.A.
Confusing Jennifer's acting ability (or lack thereof) with the Angelina Jolie thing is just beside the point. Jennifer wasn't a great actress long before all this happened.

You don't have to be an actress to be named America's Sweetheart. She is America's Sweetheart, she's the simple girl next door who just went through a horrible divorce in front of EVERYONE and proved she'll be fine. People look up to that. They see Brad/Jen probably the hottest couple ever fine and then all the sudden they are getting a divorce and he's bedding Angelina in front of her face. Yeah she's w/Vince now but she wasn't w/anyone for awhile there and had to watch them two being photographed all over the tabloids together. I think she's great and Rachel Green was the best thing that happened to her. She'll live in syndication FOREVER!!

* said:

correction above...you don't have to be ***the worlds greatest actress*** to be named America's Sweetheart

. said:

I never knew that Angie stoled Billy Bob T. from another woman that he was ingaged to at the time(He and Angie suposedly elloped while he was still ingaged to anohter woman, some other actress) It's starting to look like a pattern for little miss Angie, there's something a little fishy about that lady. She likes to perpetrate herself as this mother Theresa type womnan but in reality she's sort of a homewrecker. My respect for her is starting to diminish little by little. Geez after Brad who's going to be the next victom?

peahces said:

I don't consider her the girl next door (but to each his own) acting wise in comparison to others that have been given that title. I just don't see range in her acting abilities.

As far as the divorce goes I really don't think this was that horrible a divorce by Hollywood standards. There have been some knock out drag out nasty divorces in Hollywood that went on forever this was resolved fairly quickly and went out with a whimper by Hollywood standards IMO

meowmeow said:

I always like to have a little laugh when Angelina Jolie's acting is compared to Aniston's. Those two aren't even in the same category.

Who has the Oscar at home? Mmm hmm....

Alena said:

I think that Jennifer did a great job in Derailed, and that is a far cry from her character of Rachel Green. Its hard when you've been typecast into a stereotype that you can't get out of.

* said:

The actress was Laura Derm and Angie makes out w/her brother on the red carpet, she's stable. Hey maybe her being so messed up in the head makes her 'Lora Croft' acting skills soo good. Maybe if Jen went crazy (stealing peoples husband/boyfriends/brothers) and nasty like her, she'd get an oscar too.

* said:

Alena, I agree and "The good Girl" was far fetched from Rachel as well

Adrienne said:

Personally, I think the current "America's Sweetheart" title should go to Rachel McAdams, who IS a good actress and already has shown herself to have a good range.

Jack's Twist said:

Back to Suzy's original point -- Rumor Has It sucked. Jennifer Aniston sucked in it. Ruffalo was mere eye candy. MacLaine rocked all of those young'uns right off the screen. Save your $12 and go see Brokeback Mountain instead.

Jackie said:

There's so much Angelina Jolie posting going on on this blog. This was about Jennifer's performance in a movie. People have a hard time getting past all that drama and judge her acting ability. I don't agree that if you play someone for so many years that it's just who people see. I didn't see a bit of Jack Tripper in John Ritter's performance in Sling Blade.
Hopefully, Jennifer Aniston will be given a special script, maybe spread her wings a bit and take a chance not being the same neurotic, insecure, pouty woman that we've all come to accept from Rachel....I mean Jennifer.

Carole said:

Hey, she is not the only one actress or not to get divorced. She is not the greatest actress and best thing was Rachel Green, she is a limited actress and not the prettiest gal in the world. Now let's get over it. So she is divorced. Big deal! Think the Cruise/Kidman was a surprise and disappointing not this one

Lauren said:

Carole,
You took the words right out of my mouth!!!

Nicole said:

Suzy: How was Squid and the Whale? I'm really hoping there's a decent movie out there. It seems like everything is getting crappy reviews. (Except for the gay cowboy movie.)

Jammie said:

went to see this with friends. the movie sucked eggs. anniston blew chunks in it. simply put, she can't act her way out of a wet paper bag. total waste of time and money.

Ariel said:

ok why is every 1 cusing, 2cnd of all she is a very good actress. and if u acted would u like to be called a horrible actress? no. so stop the drama!!

Yup said:

On the money Carole! I have to agree Jennifer should stick to T.V. Sorry but when I see her acting in movies all i see is Rachael Green type acting.
I will give her credit for trying even if she is failing so far. Maybe she will have a one hit wonder type movie come her way who knows. People need to get over the fact Brad stop being IN LOVE with her and made his choice.

joypayne said:

Lauren" i don't really like jennifer, but i don't think she's that bad of an actress you'll need to give her a break. and whatever to angelina stay away from married man. LAUREN i can see you are a people's husband stealer. stupid bitch maybe you alredy stole someone husband. you and angelina can start a steal husband club.

Lily said:

Then why Christ are you here?

joypayne said:

bet he's gonna do the same to angelina. they should should honor there damn vows.

Jackie said:

Why, oh why, does this particular subject blog have anything to do with Angelina and Brad and all the drama over the divorce? I guess it's because her character can only be defended, because her acting skills cannot be.

goodness said:

Jackie' i guess, are you a husband stealer to?

Yup said:

Angelina must have some super powerful pheromone oozing out of her or her crotch is extremly tight (men love that) since she was able to "steal a husband". Yes Brad lost all control of his senses and became a pssy zombie, and became Anj's slave. Trance unbrakable by the the vows of holy matramony. Yeah like he didnt have anything to do with deciding to leave Jennifer..pleeeaaasseee!! If your going to blame someone blame Brad. They both were at wrong but even out the blame will ya? People fall out of love all the time. Eventually the Brad/Jolie thing will implode one day who knows and who cares? Ok yeah i care cuz its fun reading about it. Everyone loves gossip even those who deny it. Jennefer has Vince Vaune gingavitis swimming around her gums right now she got over her split...so should some of you.

That Girl said:

I agree with Yup>>You can't steal a man. Brad left on his own accord. Ppl have it backwards thats why guys/girls fight over someone when they should be mad at the person who is carrying on the behaivor. I don't think the marriage was solid after reading articles of Brad and Anniston out and not talking to each other. All that aside I've never watched friends and can say every movie Jennifer has acted in has not intriqued me unless she was with Jim Carrey or Ben but to carry it on her own I have no reason to see it.

me said:

Jennifer Aniston is a fantastic actress!!! She's the best and the most inspirational actress to watch! Shes very talented and stop bagging her! I LOVE FRIENDS

Read Rumor Has It film reviews from critics and see how badly read that the general 80% who watched the movie tank it ...

Yup' your finally making some since agree with you 100%.

acorn said:

its funny to read all of the comments about this threesome scenario here. Aniston was great on friends. Regardless of how her future movies may turn out I see this gal as a courageous female who isnt about to give up. Losing a marriage is hard enough on its own let alone it being published across the world. Aniston keeps on going .....funny that she is judged so much when nobody really knows her. Brad sucks.....Vince is stunning. Aniston practise makes perfect.

Mr Zabe said:

First off, Jennifer is a very beautiful
lady with a perfect body and a smile that makes ice melt. :):):)

I would walk through fire for the chance to hang out with her. :):):)

I just do not dig her movie roles.
She would do better with her own TV sitcom. Or how about on All My Children.
OMG could she would rock Pine Valley.

Peaches said:

Days later and I still don't get why a lot of post on this thread is about Brad & Angie or Angie or Brad or even the trio. This was suppose to be about JA's movie. Have you seen it or not seen it and what do you think about the movie or her acting.

I like the post on here that stuck to the subject and overall it seems most or just not impressed with her as an actress or her as an actress carrying a movie. I think she might do better playing a supporting role in movies until and if she can then carry one, Television and movies are very different animals. There are soap stars who are hugely popular but can't carry ovver to primetime and primetime actors who are hugley popular but can't carry over to movies.

As far as the Courty Cox (if true) thing goes I'm sure he knew she would be cold to him but was the bigger person anyway and went over anyway. Now it can't be said that he snubbed, one of JA's friends instead it is the other way around. I just wish everyone would move on.

Problems for Brad Pitt to Adopt Jolie’s Children

Pitt's arrest by police in 1988 doesn't help him with his effort to legally adopt Jolie's children
There’s always something that doesn’t go well… Looks like Brad Pitt’s past is hunting the actor in his attempt to legally adopt Jolie’s two children. According to fark.com, Star magazine says that a social worker was scheduled to visit the couple’s residence on the 28th of December "to make sure that Brad's modern mansion will be a healthy and safe environment to raise kids." However, Pitt's offensive and ugly public arrest in 1988 when he mooned motorists along the Pacific Coast Highway doesn’t help the case. Because past behavior is a thing they will take into account when considering a person's condition as a parent, Brad will certainly be subject to months of paperwork, interviews and a fee of $2,950.

Jen is beautiful ? you guys must be reading only magazine with airbrushed photoshopped picture of her .

Jackie said:

goodness, what did my comment about this blog about Jennifer Anistons acting ability have anything to do with ME and husband stealing? Peaches put it accurately about sticking to the subject. I agree that Jennifer's characters seem, to some degree, similar to her role on Friends, and that she doesn't have a lot of range or hasn't really had a great script to spread her wings. (I haven't seen Derailed yet.) Don't bother with your smug personal remarks to people you don't know.

C said:

I don't that Angeline hopping on a nice plane, spending two days in a earthquake zone during the day and sleeping in a comfy hotel at night seriously counts as 'being involved in major world affairs' it sounds more like a quickie vacation trip that happens to be to 'real life' and not a nice sunny island. Maybe if she really was involved she would live with the people for a while and help in their everyday needs, not just go hang out with their president and visit a hospital.

suzy said:

Hey Nicole: I really enjoyed Squid and the Whale. It was a real story. It wasn't a special-effects showcase like every other movie these days.

I must say that some scenes involving the little boy were a little graphic for my taste. Then again, I didn't grow up with any brothers. Maybe if I did I wouldn't have been so grossed out by the little boy masturbating -- at school -- and sharing his "prize."

Now I probably made you not want to see the film, but it actually really was good. The actors -- Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels, Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline (who is the son of Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline) were topnotch.

And I always love seeing Billy Baldwin. "Hey, brother!"

Before yuo say anything disparaging about angelina's work in Asia (eartquake zone or Africa) you try go to the same places first. I have traveled to similar places in south Asia and Hotels there may sound comfy with fancy names but try living in those places... I'm not going to say it here not to offend ppl.

You should try reading angelina's diary when she spent weeks in Sierra Leone ( you can buy it from Amazon and benefit UNHCR along the way.

BTW, Angelina is not flying some fancy planes or helicopter, she flies in whatever available that's the reason she's loving it.. the feeling of excitement read her interviews and travel to these places like some people and you would change your opinions.

check this url below wher angelina built a hut for refugees in Tanzania with dirt and stick,
she's no phony that's why big wigs at the UN all admired her

here's another Angelina Jolie climbing on a supply truck while Moslem men looked on (taken in Afghanistan) before Brad came to her life

http://www.elros.altervista.org/aj/immagini/aj_afghanistan2_4.jpg

would you do this or would any A-listers do this knowing they command miilions per film most people would think no way I might spoil my skin or break a bone.
Not Angelina, she's too adventurous to pass up ( I love her for this)
She goes broke in everything she does. ?She's a keeper.

Mary N said:

Okay, call me crazy, but I'm actually going to comment on the movie!

I thought Jen did well in "Friends" and as long as she takes roles that mimics that same kind of character, she will always be remembered as Rachael. I don't necessarily think she is a great actress, nor do I think she is as terrible as some people have posted.

I think there is a lot of pressure on her right now to do great and prove herself as a strong, independent, and single woman, and I also think that that is affecting her film career. As long as people look at her and immediately think of "Friends" or "Brangelina" they will never take the time to actually look at her as an actress.

On the flip-side, I didn't like the film at all. The plot was really what killed it. Not a big fan.

Anway, good luck to Jen in her future endeavors. Everyone deserves to be happy and successful.

E said:

All of ya'll that are fighting over Jannifer Anistan and Angelina Jolie have to much time on your hands. Cat fights between grown women are not attractive at all. You should of left that back in high school. On the subject of them, they are grown women under tremendous stress and scrutiny. They deserve respect for the time they spend trying to entertain us and if a movie they are in ends up being bad, usually it's not their fault. It's the screenwriters' fault. They do their job just like we have to.

Jennifer,
