This is minor but personal. Jennifer Aniston is in everything right now — Marley & Me, He’s Just Not That Into You, 30 Rock — and now she wants to muck up one of my favorite shows, Mad Men:
“I like Mad Men. I would love to be in that. It is such a good show, it’s great. I love the 50’s era.
“I would love it if they offered me a role.”
I’m sure she’d love to be offered any role if it lets her continue to milk the whole Love Bermuda Triangle for publicity.
But anyway, if she’d ever seen the show, she’d know it doesn’t take place in the 1950s. The first season is set in 1960, the second is in 1962. Had she even bothered to Wikipedia it instead of tuning in, she would have known as much.
Methinks Jennifer Aniston sometimes just looks at the pretty pictures and doesn’t pay attention to the words.
And a delicious little twist: The bloggers at AMC are not dismissing the idea out of hand, as long as she plays the first woman in history that Don Draper rejects. Ha.

I would like to think that she’s grasping at straws and willing to work on any show in order to put the desperation she displays in every interview by discussing her eons old divorce behind her. However, it’s hard for me not to be cynical when it comes to this desperate cougar.
I’m sorry guys I guess I’ll just never understand what everybody has against this girl. Really what’s the difference between her and Angelina Jolie? They both slept with Brad Pitt, they both make basically pretty crappy movies, Angelina has adopted a bunch of kids from countries you can’t visit without a series of vaccinations, but she also made out with her brother on national TV, and slept with Billy Bob Thorton so I’d say that’s a wash.
On a scale of 1-10 personally I think Angelina is a 5 or 6 at best, and Jen’s easily an 8 but I guess that’s subjective. And since I’d rather chew tin foil than sit through anything with Tina Fey in it, or watch anything on network TV I don’t care if she were to “ruin” 30 Rock, or any other series.
You can come live with me Jen I’ll protect you! (bring your checkbook!)
Mad Men could win mondo Golden Globules on Sunday, so Jen-Jen is just trying to appear relevant.
I think this is splitting hairs…50’s…60’s…its all the same…
I ‘d still hit it jen, don’t worry baby!
I think those are unrelated thoughts. “I… you know… like, like Mad Men. I would totally loooove to be in that, such a good show–really great…” … … “I love the 50’s era, by the way.” … … … “So, yeah, like, I’d really love an offer of a role.”
Oh, and I agree with you, Pasta. Of all the women Brad has gone after, Jen is definitely the best, which isn’t saying much for his other women.
You’re probably right, StrawberryGirl. I sure hope she’s not on that show. But I don’t think she will be, it’s too serious. She can’t do serious, IMNSHO. And she can’t do their kind of funny either.
You’re correct too Pasta, so I don’t want Jolie in “Mad Men” either.
)
Pasta, Jrod, you two hafta fight for Jen now. Thunderdome?
I was going to say that Jen isn’t exactly known for period roles…
But IMDB says she did a single episode of Quantum Leap set in 1968 which like soooo totally makes her like an expert on the era, you know?
Wow, a 19 year acting career and she’s never played anyone with unattractive hair.
I’d settle for Brad, Phoenix. Wait What?
i don’t dislike jen aniston, but would someone please pull her to the side and tell her she can’t be on “mad men”….her saying she wants to be on the show, even if she’s joking, is not funny….
I’d just like to see her play any character that isn’t Jennifer Aniston. I think watching one episode of Friends basically speaks for her entire vastly overpaid career.
Pasta, I can tell you exactly why Jen annoys the hell out of me. It’s not that I am “Team Jolie” or feel that infidelity is okay, even though I have been known to defend Angelina and Brad on occasion. I tend to defend them because for all their weirdness, they seem to really love one another and I respect that.
Jen and Brad have been divorced for four years (?), yet she is still talking about it. This means one of two things:
1. She is in an unhealthy place and has to learn to move on, which is sad, but getting very old, and no matter how sorry you feel for someone, if they aren’t helping themselves, that pity wears off and becomes annoying.
2. She is desperate for attention and is using the one thing that the media loves to jump all over even now to stoke the gossip surrounding this triangle from hell. Even when she dates someone, the ghost of her last marriage comes out because she is so willing to dish every time shes is asked. That is not something a real woman would do if she has moved on/isn’t trying to ride the whole “injured party” wave. So to me, she comes off as bitter and pathetic, and those are two traits I can’t stand.
I’m sure the media plays things up more than she actually does, but she still allows it. She does not need to respond to questions regarding Brad and Angelina, nor does she need to wear her biological clock on her sleeve. If she really wanted the media to concentrate on something other than those things, then she could have done a better job of having them focus their attention to other things, which is why I an inclined to believe that she is working the number 2 option above. And if she is, then she really has no class whatsoever.
Hey that’s cool. I guess it’s just that evolutionary program in my male brain that comes forward to protect a girl that I feel is under any kind of attack. You know in case she’ll have sex with me for it.
That’s right I’m Sir Galahad.
You never know, Sir Pasta, she just might.
If Jen, when asked for the millionth time how she feels about the whole Brangelina thing says, “No comment,” or “I would really rather move on and not discuss that aspect of my life,” here is what everyone would say:
1. She is in an unhealthy place and has to learn to move on, which is sad, but getting very old, and no matter how sorry you feel for someone, if they aren’t helping themselves, that pity wears off and becomes annoying.
2. She is desperate for attention and is using the one thing that the media loves to jump all over even now to stoke the gossip surrounding this triangle from hell. Even when she dates someone, the ghost of her last marriage comes out because she is so unwilling to dish every time shes is asked. That is not something a real woman would do if she has moved on/isn’t trying to ride the whole “injured party” wave. So to me, she comes off as bitter and pathetic, and those are two traits I can’t stand.
Notice that only one word is changed in here: Unwilling. Basically, the message would be the same. She would be excoriated for refusing to discuss all the drama.
People love to loathe Jen. I hear she is a bit of an asshole from multiple sources. Ok, that’s cool. She and I don’t have to go out to dinner any time soon. However, I am sick of the responses she gets for doing anything. She is out there now, doing press junkets, because she has movies to promote. It’s her job. Sadly, the press loves to ask her all about the triangle of her life and she seems to be trying her best to move things along and the press is unwilling to comply as evidenced by tabloids constantly running stories about new – made up – drama between Brangelina and Jen. Why? Because it sells magazines for some odd reason.
LOL. I’m not crazy about either party, but IMO, if Jolie can suddenly brag in the press about her kids watching the movie where Mommy and Daddy fell in love (which they fibbed about previously), JA can kvetch about it if someone asks. But you’re right, they all need to move on. Aw heck, I agree with all of you!
BTW, was JA’s hair kinda messy at all in that Lephrechaun movie? X-D
I remember that Quantum Leap ep, he was a vet in a wheelchair, and she was the girlfriend. I think that was before her alleged rhinoplasty.

“JA’s hair [was] kinda messy in that Lephrechaun movie… I remember that Quantum Leap episode”
pssssttttt…
Jannah, can I humbly suggest you put the cheetos down and step away from the basic cable?
LOL Minnow! Well, I wouldn’t touch cheetos with a 50 foot pole, and I’m too poor on my fixed income to get anything more than Extended Basic, but if anyone would like to contribute to my upgrade I’ll accept!
Rest assured, I watched those shows with JA in them years ago, I just have a very good memory for useless information.
Thanks Jannah.
I was kinda afraid you’d frag me for insulting your Cheetarian lifestyle, your ancestry, your intelligence, your second cousin the monk, the sanskrit tee-shirt you wore yesterday, and your cable provider’s standard of ethics.
Tossing one liners around here can be dangerous.
‘Cheetarian lifestyle.’ Heh heh.
You laugh MC, but it’s a very healthy diet and no animals (or plants) are hurt in the process.
Sure, Minnow, but think of all the poor fat molecules and ‘chuzz’ that are harmed in the process!
Ummmm Who cares??
I’d like to see some relevant acting roles.
I think she is a pretty lady but she could be so much more than she is..
