You know what is really hard? Being so fabulously privileged and famous that everyone wants to know your business. So says Jennifer Aniston — again — in Parade magazine. Highlights from the interview include:
Keeping the lid on her personal life.
“I feel like it’s no one’s business. I don’t know about your life. I don’t want to, truthfully. It’s not my business. It’s a very strange thing. But somehow it’s like there was some clause somewhere that said, ‘Well, you’re a public person so we get to go into your house and search through your drawers.’ I don’t know who came up with it because I wouldn’t have signed on. I don’t think anybody would have.”But fans can’t seem to get enough.
“It’s embarrassing that people are focused so much and putting so much money into gossip magazines to escape. The paparazzi and the magazines deserve their share of the blame, but they’re just supplying a demand. It’s unfortunate that people don’t care that they’ve been lied to, they don’t care that they’re being sort of messed with and not given the full truth. They buy them anyway.”
It just totally sucks being used to sell magazines! Like Parade, for example. Or Marie Claire, or Vanity Fair, or Elle, or Vogue, or Harper’s Bazaar, or GQ, or any of the half-dozen other magazines she’s covered in the last 12 months, talking about her personal life in every single one.
She may not understand why everyone cares about it, but I can’t understand why she feels she can cherry pick the benefits of fame when she’s never met a media request she didn’t like.

Looks like she still doesn’t have that Vulcan hand-thing down yet.
I bet she’s very upset. Crying all the way to the bank.
She did a Vogue cover recently where she was unrecognizably airbrushed. IMHO.

Does anyone read Parade magazine?
I’d hit it
I did!
The new breasts look better than the old ones.
Meet the new breasts, not the same as the old breasts…
Jenn, I thumb through Parade when I’m at my mom’s house. She actually still gets newspaper delivery. Ellsworth Twohey lives in its pages.
Aniston was on ‘Ellen’ yesterday morning hawking her new movie. She didn’t have to trash the paparazzi there because her BFF Ellen did it for her.
[Hey, I was sick yesterday morning, OK? And Regis and Kelly were on a commercial.]
I am at an absolute loss to comprehend the public fascination with this woman. She’s not a fantastically good actress, she’s not strikingly beautiful, most people can probably name only one character she’s played, and she got divorced from Brad Pitt years ago now. If she were a store, she would be The Gap. Not bad, but not exciting, either.
@Tal, what you said. She’s parsley.
As for these “characters” she “plays”: They at least have different names, right? Because I’ve only ever seen her play one character, and I’ve seen nine or ten things she’s done.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think any of her movies really do that well. I find her dull as well. I don’t know anyone who has found her interesting since Friends and the end of her marriage. She must have one heck of an agent.
And give me a break about privacy. No one in Hollywood has ever had real privacy. Even when the studios controlled everything, everyone in the business knew about everybody else. Anyone who signed up for the entertainment industry either knew what they were getting into, or should have known. I’m sure it is jarring when it happens, but that is the price you pay for making obscene amounts of money and getting all the perks in existence. If she really wanted it to stop, she could move to the middle of nowhere and ignore the world. Of course, then no one would be paying attention to her, and where is the fun in that?
I can never understand celebs’ who complain about their fame. Still, it must be hard with all that money and planes and cars.
