Jennifer Aniston seems to have taken the opportunity of promoting her new movie, Marley & Me, to reinvent herself.
For the past few years the media has painted the actress as the unfortunate victim of Angelina Jolie - who is forever presented as more beautiful, fecund and saintly than any of us - the woman who seemingly stole Brad Pitt from her on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
But Aniston has had enough of playing the wall flower. The gal whose hair regularly made headlines in the 90s has decided to steal back the limelight by showing some skin and becoming more outspoken.
Unfortunately, the vicious world of celebrity blogging has not been taken in by Aniston's new image.
Bitten and Bound supports its claim that nudity is a new theme in Aniston's life by reeling off the names of other publications in which she has broached the subject of her striptease
"We've been seeing the same themes discussed by the likes of Vogue magazine, Entertainment Weekly, New York Times magazine and a guest appearance on Oprah. She even has a Jennifer Aniston 2009 calendar where she bares all."
One of the few supporters of Aniston, Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blogger, Mike Bruno, recently professed his love for the actress after seeing the January issue of GQ. "At the risk of exposing myself as a pervy old man...I love Jennifer Aniston." Mission accomplished, Bruno.
Surprisingly the author was a vocal detractor of Aniston's show, Friends, and has acknowledged Aniston will forever be associated with the sitcom. It is therefore a surprise to read that he has cucked all his hatred simply because she has a cute bod. Actually, it isn't.
Meanwhile, Tim Worstall's Tabloid Edition takes the polar opposite approach to Aniston's interview and chides her for selectively courting the media.
"She used to be the one who keep a dignified silence and I respected her for that," he writes. "Now she is running her mouth at any opportunity about anything, then gets grumpy when asked personal questions. Make your mind up Aniston, either spill the beans or shut up. This is starting to be boring!"
One of my favourite blogs, What Would Tyler Durden Do, makes the perfectly fair comment that Aniston seems to be saying that she is still not over Pitt, despite claims that she has moved on.
"Good lord this is madness. Three years," he blogs. "I think we both know she has a little shrine to him in her house somewhere. Her closet probably has a fake back wall and she goes in there at night and kisses her Brad Pitt dolls and lays them on top of her naked body while a Laura Croft doll is forced to watch."
Kyle Buchanan at Defamer plants his tongue firmly in his cheek when discussing Aniston's hypocritical treatment of the media. He wraps up the cynical approach most bloggers share for Aniston's new image.
"As all of America has no doubt been made aware of during her press tour for Marley & Me, Jennifer Aniston hates talking about Brad Pitt," Buchanan writes. "This is why she appears nude on the cover of the new GQ and speaks more in-depth about Brad Pitt than ever before. No one will ever notice!"

1. My Goodness, I don't get what all the hype is about. So what she showed some skin, its not like the pictures are slutty or distastefull. And I think it is the media that has not gotten over Jen and Brad, not Jen. She says that she has moved on so let her. She is a good looking woman with a terrific body, so let her show as much or as little as she is happy with. skin is just skin and we all have it.

3. For heavens sake, can we all just get over Jennifer, Brad, and Angelina? Jen lost Brad and Angie got him - life moves on and who really cares? Enough, already. Obviously Angelina has what he wants and it is more than what Jen had to offer - so what? I am sick to death of all of them trying to "out-media" the others. B-O-R-I-N-G

4. The only reason anyone remembers Jennifer is because of Brad. She has ridden that high wave back to shore, and is now on the john Mayer wave, and using her "I'm so not over what Angie did" quip to whore the limelight some more. She's probably having a midlife crisis.

5. Hey, why are people blaming Angelina for the breakup of Jen and Brad -- didn't he have something to do with it? He had some choices to make. And Jen, get over it. Do something good with your life. And stripping for the public is not one of these good things.

6. I think w/ the golden globes nominations and all the speculation about Angelina Jolie's oscar nod, here comes Jennifer aniston all hot and sexy on the cover of a men's magazine...She needs the media attention on her, it makes her feel good. When people talk about her naked exposed body, it gives her confindence. That is how shallow and superficial this woman is. I think after Brad moved on w/ Jolie, something changed in him. He is more involved w/ charity work , philotrophy, traveling to areas of poverty and helping out with re building new orleans, and that hurst Jen because he has moved on and became a better more caring person, not shallow and walowing in the hollywood lime light like she still does...And she knows that it makes her look bad, So what does she have to offer? Nothing but showing her body. Now, you tell me if thats "empowering" to women. Jen: Take note. You cannot and will never compare the Actress, Mother, Hummanitarian Angelina Jolie.

7. T Pain, I would like to point out the sheer volume of movies in which Jolie has appeared naked in various degrees. It far outweighs this one magazine, and the one (to my knowledge, correct me if wrong) movie anniston appeared nude in. Acting or not, it was still her body, and after a certain point she had acheived enough star power to say no to them, had she wanted to.

9. Coming from a straight male (me) it's my opinion that Jennifer Aniston is better looking than Angelina, especially close up. Given a choice, I'd rather be seen at a Hollywood function with Jen on my arm anytime.

10. Dave, (8:04am comment), what you just said is as superficial as what Jennifer is doing. As other comments here have pointed out, in the end it is going to be the legacy they leave behind that will matter, not who was prettier or sexier. I don't think posing nude for a men's magazine will do as much for humanity as bringing the plight of impoverished people to our attention will.

11. T Pain: I agree with Meg. Jolie has showed "Full Front & Back nudity" in the movie "Gia" (1998)- It was disgusting! & nudity in many others. Jolie has no problem with nudity (Aniston is showing 'skin', not taboo body parts), or with having a knife collection she started as a young teenager, as since then has 'had' to have sex with 'cutting' happening - both people cutting themselves & having sex while writhing around in each others blood (which she asked Brad if he would do, and he said NO). She had a very bad reputation BEFORE Brad Pitt, remember also '3 Marriages'. 1 of those to Billy Bob Thornton & they both wore vials of each other's blood around their necks at ALL times & they (she) sickened people, that was the General Consensus. And the list on 'Wacko' things she was into & did GOES ON! Pull up her Film Credits, after the "Tomb Raider" movie, her rolls got better, before, crappy roles. After hooking up with Pitt she was getting great roles. It takes make-up artists HOURS to cover all of her cuts & tat's. At least Aniston is "Natural", no cosmetic surgery. Jolie has breast implants - look at her body in "Girl Interruped" at age 25, she WAS small breasted. Who knows what else she has had done. I pity Aniston, the MEDIA & people WON'T let her get past Pitt. It must be frustrating. I was divorced & people would talk about my ex, telling me how he isn't as happy as he was with me, etc. I was so ticked-off & told everybody "He's not in my life anymore, don't talk about him. I have a new life". And I'm a regular person, imagine what it's like for a Celebrity like Aniston - people won't leave it alone. And look at her first relationship afterwards - Vince Vaughn (who was in Mr./Mrs. Smith & sure he had many things to tell her about them screwing around on set), he USED her, all of a sudden people 'knew his name' and he's popularity went up. Several men, the same thing. All she wants is to find someone nice and decent and it's hard enough for us 'regular people', but harder for her. Jolie had some MAJOR PUBLICISTS working on her image during the time of her screwing around with Pitt. She went from being hated (before Pitt), she was a Nut-Job her whole life, & by 25, your personality/character is pretty much set. Jolie & her publicists have done a GREAT job of TOTALY giving her a new image. People don't remember her past. She never wanted kids, said she would adopt, never biologically have one. She did, probably to keep Brad happy. Have seen multiple articles about how see pays more attention to the adopted kids and leaves tending to their biological kid to Brad - and that IS A QUOTE FROM HER! (can't remember babies name - Shiloh?) Aniston & Pitt, while together, tried VERY HARD to stay out of the media as well, but were hounded (they were dubbed 'America's Perfect Couple'), they did lots of charity giving as well, but were very low key about it. So, I disagree that Brad is a 'better person' since being with Jolie. With all the money they have, he himself went to city hall in France and signed up for the benefits that they could receive for having nannies & 1 or 2 other things. That was disgusting - leave the benefits for those people who work for a living at regular wages and skrimp to get by - that was tactless. Also, every woman out there - do you know of ANYONE that lost ALL their baby weight & 12 wks later on a red carpet back to Jolie's regular body?? She did something 'Not Natural', Top Supermodel's have had hard times getting rid of their weight & struggled. Jolie also was huge as she was carrying twins. I know all this and it may look that way, but I'm not into following Celeb's. I only look at a link if it literally comes right in front of me. Have never done a 'search for info' on any of them.
