Jennifer Anistons odd appearance on Inside the Actors Studio
Lately, Jennifer Aniston is working very hard to shed her tabloid-shaped, “good girl” image, which I suspect is part of her publicity team’s plan to make audiences comfortable with the fact that she plays a not-so-nice character in the upcoming Horrible Bosses. Strangely enough, however, the focus of Aniston’s visit to “Inside the Actor’s Studio” (where she was accompanied by new love Justin Theroux wasn’t as much about the new movie as about rehashing the past. Again.
On The End Of “Friends”: It’s one of the greatest jobs I ever had. It gave me everything. It gave me this ridiculously blessed life and career and taught me so much, and it’s the best time I ever had.
On The Break-Up (Slight Reference to Brad):It was just a beautiful story about a couple breaking up. And I was slightly familiar on the topic and the issue. And I sort of honestly felt like, what a great way to sort of exercise some of that. I enjoyed it. It really enjoyed it. You would think otherwise, because even the producers were like, “I don’t know if we should ask you to do this,” but I was like, why not? Turn the page, let’s move on.
Well, at least she slightly acknowledges what “Friends” has done for her career, but I’d like to point out that, in my opinion, it was not “one of” her best jobs but solely “the best” job she’s ever had when one considers the indeterminable void comprising the whole of Aniston’s movie career. But still, Horrible Bosses is totally worth your hard-earned money and is totally different than any other indistingishable Aniston movie because she’s wearing a brunette wig and, therefore, deserves to be treated like Meryl Streep. Or, at the very least, like Nicole Kidman for wearing that prosthetic nose in The Hours, right?
Here are the relevant clips from Aniston’s appearance on “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” and it’s rather amusing how Aniston uncontrollably commits the following offenses: (1) Plays with her hair too much; and (2) Still relies on the instant gratification of live audience reaction, which (much to Jen’s dismay) is only forthcoming when the “Clap!” notice appears.

On the topic of Jen’s new movie, she reportedly plays a very villainous character who utters the “F-word” (one of them, anyway) as part of her dialogue. Of course, this seems rather inconsistent with her GLAAD Vanguard Award (presented in 2007 by Jake Gyllenhaal) for her contribution to a positive outlook in regard to alternative families and lifestyles (for her tangential association to the lesbian couple on “Friends” and for making out with Courteney Cox on Dirt). Nonetheless, she’s just an actress delivering dialogue, right?
In the new comedy Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston plays an overbearing dentist named Julia who tortures her assistant Dale (Charlie Day) by sexually harassing him. She’s one of three managers (along with Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey) meant to be so detestable that their underlings plot to murder them. She constantly corners Dale, asking him to perform lewd sexual acts. In one scene, Aniston’s character calls him into her office, wearing nothing but a white lab coat. When he expresses discomfort, she taunts him like a high-school bully. “You’re starting to sound like a little fa–ot there, Dale,” she says.
What’s going to happen when millions of people watch an actress who is supposed to be America’s Sweetheart say a word like that?

LMAO at the notion of Aniston as “America’s Sweetheart,” who has spent the past, what, month attempting to shed said reputation of the spurned wife by hanging with the sketchy Terry Richardson and banging a man with a 14-year live-in girlfriend. Score another point for Aniston’s PR team.
