Actress Nancy Balbirer, who lived with Jennifer Aniston in NYC, put on quite a performance the other night spilling Jen's secrets.
At an event promoting the paperback release of a book called The Underminer: Or, the Best Friend Who Casually Destroys Your Life, Nancy -- and a host of others -- shared their real-life stories of their personal "underminers." Nancy's underminer was -- you guessed it -- Jennifer, who she met in the '80s when the two ladies were auditioning as extras on Saturday Night Live. At the time Nancy allowed Jen -- who she referred to as "Jane" throughout her performance -- to live in her apartment rent-free for a few months. Later, Jennifer stabbed her in the back. Here are some of the not-so-nice revelations about Jen:
Jen, who worked as a waitress in a hamburger joint, was obsessed with her looks and would give her bikini waxes while lying upside-down on the couch.
She advised Nancy to be "more f---able" on auditions and to stuff her bra with chicken cutlets from the Food Emporium. Before Jennifer would audition, she would always ice her nipples.
When Jen moved to L.A., she got liposuction, a nose job and a hairline adjustment. Jen also slimmed down after going on NutriSlim.
When Nancy was going to visit L.A., she called Jen to see if she could stay with her. Instead, Jen gave her numbers of local hotels, telling Nancy not to be so desperate, because it's unattractive, especially in a town like L.A.
Hours after Nancy landed a recurring role on Friends, she was inexplicably fired but received her pay -- plus some. Later a producer friend told Nancy that Jennifer had her fired. The women never spoke again.
Some how I'm not surprised. She did spend her entire time on friends without a bra on.
it all sounds true. long live brad & angelina!
Jen should stick to sitcoms. Friends is what made her. Movie star she is not..character actor..maybe, sure.
Same with Jessica Simpson. Stick to singing pop songs that showcase your voice, rather than doing those weird voices you make when you sing, These boots are made for walking..or is is these bites are made for poppin'. Cheezy bigtime! Her dad keeps guiding her into being a bikini clad boob..goodness.
Jen and Jess...sigh. Maybe just stick to shopping?
yeah, right.
Jen has the same group of friends she had more than 20 years ago... andrea bendewald, mandy ingber, kristin hahn, kathy najimy, andrea buchanan and many other and they all say success didn't change her. why am i going to believe this bitter woman/
Absolute total crap!!! Nancy sounds like a bitter, bitter BITCH.
i seriously doubt some those accusations. Nancy seems like she is trying to cash in on the fame of someone she once knew. And besides, what so bad about giving yourself a bikini wax... its much better than having tons of pubes hanging out of your bikini, hehehe =)

ps, i am still sad that Brad and her split =(
This story merely puzzles me. One, if she really got a nose job, clearly it was a crappy one, because her nose is definitely not one of her best features. Two, aren't cutlets mushy? She would have been better off using slices of actual breasts. Why would it be necessary to be in such an uncomfortable position while waxing? Wouldn't she have had a professional do it (come on, it's not that expensive)?
The ice thing - ok, I'll buy but so what?
Finally, if she was so ticked that Jen supposedly got her fired, why didn't she make a big deal about it when it happened - if there had been some sort of "gag" agreement, it would have been binding for a lot longer I'm sure.
Conclusion: Is Life & Style featuring this on its cover?
Total rubbish? Chicken cutlets? LOLOL
And the nose job story is still more ridiculous. Compare old and new photos--Aniston STILL has the same huge Greek honker she's always had. We're expected to believe this??? The evidence of our own eyes proves the lie--look for yourself. Sheesh! How dumb does this woman think we are??
This plays out like a remake of "Single White Female" to me.
Not to mention...smaller roles get changed and recast all the time in network TV. The fact that this bitch mysteriously received all her pay plus more says to ME that someone was trying to stand up for her--NOT screw her over. Normally she would not have received a dime!
Pathetic.
Can't they find a better "Jen's a bitch" story than this?? LOLOL
I agree this sounds like a load of ...chicken cutlets? As stated above, desperate people looking for a buck will say or do anything. Besides, this happened, what, 15-20 years ago? People keep saying to give Angelina Jolie a break that she changed and the whacky things she did do were not that many years ago.
i don't believe this girl, cause jen has her group of friends since she was a teen and she even put andrea as an extra on friends , so this girl just want to win some money, i can't imagine how bad jen must feel and the girl suck with the money on your own
BIG LOAD OF BS.......
how sad. brad leaves jen for another woman, her heart is completely broken and now
this. why is she getting a bad rap? she hasn't done anything.
I bet Nancy is really Angelina Whorelee. She would have to make up such lies, to try to make JA look bad. All AJ has to do is wake up & she is trash!!!
i kinda wondered myself if maybe AJ had a little bit to do with this slandering. ya know i hope this stupid girl does get sued just so we can see what's really behind all this.
I absolutely hate JA she is quite the self centered, attention grabbing, sniveling bitch. I think she sucks as an actress, her movies prove that. I believe Nancy. And I'll bet it's not to long before we all see the kind of person she really is. Brad was to good for her. And AJ is a saint compared to JA.
you must be joking. i think aj is probably far too busy running around europe with her 2 (and 1 soon-arriving) kids and her "stolen" mate to set this story up. these two women (aj and ja) do have lives that are independent of one another. stop trying to find a tie between everything they do.
LOL, thats some funny stuff. most of it is probably true.
Some of these comments are tooo funny! Do you guys lose alot of sleep over this. Sick!!!
I bet all this Nancy stuff was made up by Jennifer Aniston people. The press has not talk about her lately, so she has to make up something to be the victim.
how is JA self centeered? she's obviously got something people want to see. no i don't think she's totally the best actress in the world...but who is? i still don't understand why people like you just hate her.
I don't believe all this crap. If this lady claimed that she was fired why didn't she sue then? This happened in the 80's.If she was that great of an actress what has she starred in?Just a bunch of trash...
i like jen aniston but this doesn't sound like rubbish. my aunt's best friend is a publicist in l.a. and knows tom cruise is gay (everyone does) and also said that jen aniston (oh yes) was a bit of a good time girl for producers and directors. like she was sort of an "escort" with all the fixings and definitely could be available to get her foot in the door in hollywood. this is true. i don't think any of these big time actresses are sweet at all but instead very ambitious at times bitchy bitchy women. uh huh!!!
This is so stupid. Nancy is just a jelous bitch, in my opinion she is just bitter about Jen's sucess. An you know what, we all have our bad days and it is allowed. If Jen doesn't feel like being nice one day it's allowed she is human after all. It's silly how people seem to forget that actors are human too, very patient human if you ask me because I don't know what I would have done if someone was butting in and publishing everything in my life all over the world. Nancy Balbirer is the backstabber if she ever was friends with Jen. Oh by the way if you make a search under Nancy Balbirer's name you will find ONLY ONE picture of her and a few websites mentioning her. Jennifer on the other hand brings up hundreds of pictures on Google, and thousands of websites. Looking at numbers I'd say Nancy is just jealous, how is that for a fact. Nancy should just focus on making a name for herself without badmouthing her "friends," I truly dislike people like her. I bet this is the last time we ever hear Nancy's name :)
Nancy's funny - can't wait to read her book and see her show...and this is Aniston to a TEE. Believe me. Why shouldn't Nancy talk about what Jen did to her (getting her fired, then bribing her, turning her back on someone who had opened their home to her) -- yet Aniston thinks it's okay to spill the beans on Pitt and talk about their personal life, getting her friends to knock him. Fair's fair.
Bradfan: "Nancy's funny - can't wait to read her book and see her show...and this is Aniston to a TEE. Believe me. "
Why should we believe you? Do you know JA? Do tell what insider info you supposedly have that the rest of us don't.
Can you say "SOUR GRAPES"? Have you ever noticed how many nobodies come out of the woodwork with their little "tattle" sessions when someone has become famous. I'm sure if "Nancy" thought she could get a job today from "Jane" she'd be kissing butt..that quick!
Hope this ruins your day Jennifer. Seriously..try getting better plastic surgery next time luv because your face is nothing unless it's covered in makeup and airbrushed.
Get lives! Don't you people have anything better to do? GEEZ!
I do believe that Jen is the 'good time party girl type' sheesh that's why 'Rachel' was just the perfect part for her.. she played the slut little nice girl to a 'T', and able to make the world and all her friends adore her despite being a slut. Nancy may be a bit strange with her chicken cutlet thinggy , but I do think there's truth in her sad I'm a victim story.
Please do not even write Angelina in any of this , you all are so desperately jealous of AJ that you just have to rope her in even if there is nothing of her in the story....
good stuff
This is what l say..they aint paying no one bills in here so who cares....so AJ, JA, MJ, Pj's, WXYZ, Micheal Bolton, Big Bird, Larry King, Oprah and whoever l could care less for it's all about worrying about me!!!!
Who Cares!
you know what?Just stop it!!!It is an ugly,nasty and a pretty bitchy thing to do to go on speculating on the"AJ,JA and BP"!Why not admit that we don't know anything about what happened between the three of them and just quit it and get back to our own lives and problems?!Fair?I guess so..................
Hows about all you that Bitch about us "getting lives" go about your business and let us have some fun. I work hard all day, have a full and rewarding life, but I love getting in on the gossip a couple times a day when I have a break. So whats the problem?? If you don't like it, don't read it! I also notice all of you "get-a-lifers" are here right smack dab in the middle of us..
WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND!!!!!! NANCY WILL BE SORRY!!!! JEN'S TOUGH!!!!!
Maybe Nancy is trying to get her claim to fame...I don't know...but it all comes down to the same thing...trying to make a buck. That's why they are in the business. If they were in it for the acting they would do theater.
I do not like JA she is such a poor me loser.
Lily
How would you like it if the person you married, the person you vowed to love no matter what, left you for someone else?
Jennifer felt what any woman would feel in her place...I do feel sorry for her. POOR HER! Things like that shouldn't happen. She came across as honest and down to earth, and the closest she came to saying anything against her dirt bag husband, was that he was "insensitive".
I agree with Angie. I guess lily has never had anything she truly cares about ripped out from underneath her.I think she is jealous af Jen. She can see the majority of comments are against AJ & BP.
Remember in this case who wanted a divorce. Be a woman suppose supports each other. The world is still dominated by men. Besides, compare most of women in the world. Those two beautiful women have a lot of money and fame already. We are ordinary people. Do we really need to worry about them.
I highly doubt that any of this is true. First of all, why would Jenn need to stay with this Nancy chick for free when Jenn's father is a very rich daytime actor??
Secondly, there are simply some people who see an opportunity and try to seize upon it. It sounds like this is what Nancy is doing. She knows that the world is watching Jenn/Brad/Angelina with batted breath... so why not cash in whilst Jenn is already down in the gutter and magazine's will pay more money for the story?
My honest opinion: This is a load of crap.
As for Brad and Angelina... I don't know them. I do not wish them ill, people cannot help who they fall in love with, but I think that HOW they did it was slimy. I do not respect them for it and I think that Jenn has suffered enough!
Who are those critical writers?
I think the woman who wrote this article is a bitter twisted wannabe, if what she says about Jen is true why has she taken so long to tell her story? I feel its somebody from Bradjelina camp trying to stir things to make Jen look bad. Who would be stupid enough to believe that garbage?? Only garbage would believe it.
emmarose,
I would hate to be somebody you didn't like if you say you like Jen with all the things you say about her, because you do not know her pesonaly do you?? As for the Tom Cruise thing I think you have really lost the plot there if Tom Cruise was gay why would he sue someone and win, in this day and age it sems to be the in thing to be gay. I think that people who shoot ther mouths off without knowing the facts need some kind of help .
don't believe it at all.
Actually thats not true, Angie couldn't get just "any" man she wants. There are some guys out here with morals and taste, that don't find her narcissistic ways appealing.
people do jealous though, either the jealous with a right reason or not.
Hmm. I appreciate my gossip as much as the next person, but I think everyone without proper spelling or grammar skills should stop contributing. Your "arguments" seem childish and unintelligent, even if you do have something enlightening to say. And honestly, who knows the truth of the situation? Unless you know everyone involved personally, you're entitled to your own opinion, but calling people names and belittling them doesn't help anyone or make you more credible. Angelina is an oddball, I think most would admit, but I and many think she is beautiful. Maybe her UN work is genuine. Maybe not. But until I see proof that she has done something utterly reprehensible or has subjected her children or others to mistreatment, I won't judge her. I don't think anyone has the room or right to. Things happen. The divorce was possibly in the making before Angelina. If you are bitter over your own life and constantly make parallels with the lives of the stars, your time would be better spent taking it out on your shrink.
Another saint & teacher on board. Lets all watch our P's & Q's.
angelina is hot jennifer aniston is hot
I think you should all be on your Ps & Qs regardless, if you want to portray yourselves as respectable people with valid opinions. It is amazing to me that so many people will get upset and belittle others when it is really none of anybody's business what happened. Jennifer is famous, obviously, so there will always be talk and rumors. She suffered her indignity publicly and that is what hurts most. Most of us have been through dramatic breakups, but not publicly. Give the girl a break. She has not disrespected anyone, even though she may, or may not have had the right to. Brad disrespected her by his callous treatment to her sensibilities after the divorce. But then, one can hardly help who they fall in love with. Either well, nothing is going to be accomplished by illiterate people being rude to one another. And, by the way, I AM a teacher, and you are an idiot.
hannah & whybother are the same SAINT !!! This is a blog , we all love it. You can keep your teaching at school. I know a lot of us are much more educated than you. so Bite US !!!! Proper enough for you ?????
Very nice, and typical of trash. And at what school did you perfect your language? Idiot U?
hannah - There you go girl. Now your just like us. I knew you could do it !!!! JA Rocks
thank you, no. I will never be like you, putting down others without just cause. Sounds to me like someone's jealous.
You wouldn't be on this blog if you were not like me !!! Love The Blog Scene. Don't worry you'll be ok.
I went to high school with Jennifer and her best friend Andrea Bendewald and actually became really good friends with Andrea. Jennifer was such a sweet and fun person and had a pretty bad relationship with her mother, which is why Jennifer lived on her own right after high school since her mom lived in New York City, why give up a free place to stay? It's true that Jen completely changed, her and Andrea were obsessed with how they protrayed themselves in Los Angeles, in New York both of them actually acted nice until they hit pay dirt.
On the other hand, both them had pretty outrageous mothers, both of them extremely class hungry and money hungry that set good examples for their daughters to behave.
Andrea became very very jealous of Jennifer's success after the first year of Friends and only until she landed a part on Brooke Shield's sitcom did Andrea even talk to Jennifer. Talk about fair weather friends.
Let me get this straight its not okay to degrade the victim Jennifer --who we all know is superficial. We are not allowed to think bad about her from former friends but... we are allowed to trash Angelina who does not garner the attention. I say equal opportunity trashing people. If you want to pull out of Angelinas closet you have to pull out of Jennifers.
MAYBE HER RECURRING ROLE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE GUNTHER?!!! JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS
