I would have to study a number of female bodies in question in order to make a careful assessment. It’s not called ogling, it’s called making an impartial determination. ---

> [@lobotomyboy63](#): > > I’ve never understood why Brad picked Angelina over her. :dubious: I was half-serious when I typed this. I don’t consider Angelina Jolie to be the raving beauty that most think her to be. I think her mouth is too big, for one thing. I think in all fairness, I’ve seen her in some roles, like Gia, that didn’t make me appreciate her more…but you have to separate the actress from the role, I know. Sure she’s got a great body but so do a lot of women. Like, hmm, lemme think…Jennifer Aniston. Anyway the vibe I got from others IRL when Brad left Jen for her was that, “Well, how can she compete with Angelina?” I’ve never understood that. Taking the physical beauty argument as is, I’d still pick Jennifer over her (and a lot of other celebs) any day of the week. There’s something about Jennifer Aniston, IMO: a vulnerability maybe, a girl-next-door quality, I don’t know. YMMV. Having said all that, I’ve heard that Jolie gives millions to charity. So the half-not serious part about this was that of course, there’s inner beauty to consider as well. And yes, having kids is something important, but people usually talk about before marriage. Well, maybe not in Hollywood. The fact that Brad met Angelina on the set, they fell in love, Jen was out the door, yadda…again, Hollywood. Of course, celebs don’t always have the luxury of conducting their private lives privately, and everyday people have a sudden falling out as well. I’m surprised that it seems to be a durable relationship but hey, more power to them I guess. ---

In that cover photo, she sort of looks like Richard James from Aphex Twin. ---

I’m surprised that it seems to be a durable relationship but hey, more power to them I guess. I never understand why anyone thinks they know anything about the human beings that inhabit movie stars. You never see who they are. Ever. Not in movies, not on talk shows, not on Access Hollywood or People Magazine. Why do they get together or break up? Because they are human beings who have to live 1440 minutes a day just like everybody else, and pretty bodies or the ability to project charm on a screen has nothing to do with living with another person 1440 minutes a day. ---

Is it just me, or does that not look like her at all. If you showed me that picture, and said name the celebrity, Aniston’s name wouldn’t be in the top 20. ---

I think she’s adorable and lovely, and am glad she’s having a ‘comeback’ (not that I knew she was ever out of fashion or anything). I think she’s charming in her roles and aside from Lisa Kudrow, the best _Friend_, actingwise – I think Rachel was certainly the most challenging role of the six, having to play more emotions than the rest of 'em. Personally I found her cuter and sexier back in her earliest _Friends_ years, not because she was younger, but because she was a bit curvier/fleshier. But that’s just my taste as a non-lesbian anyway. Lots of people prefer slimmer gals – certainly Hollywood does, at any rate. What’s worrying is that people are saying “she’s aged well” or that she’s attractive “for a woman of her age.” Sheeyit, folks – is she like sixtysomething and I didn’t know it? ---

Her face looks disturbingly like Dustin Hoffman’s in that covershot. I’m not the first to [notice the resemblence.](http://www.freakingnews.com/Dustin-Hoffman-Jennifer-Aniston-Pictures-40047.asp) Look at the GQ cover again and tell me it isn’t a promo shot for a Dark Knight-esqe reboot of Tootsie. ---

Yeah, in that video it looks like she’s got a third arm folded up where her lung ought to be, struggling to get out. Distracts from the boobs (which are nice boobs, I must say). ---

> [@Ponch8](#): > > No. Perhaps you’re so accustomed to seeing overweight people that somebody of a healthy weight seems too skinny to you. Why would I be so accustomed to seeing overweight people? Looking back (and more closely) at the picture, I can see you’re right about the wrists–I think the ratio of the ankle to the thigh was kind of throwing it for me. She still pings my radar as somewhat petite, but more healthier. ---

Wow, that ribcage really juts out there. Pretty sure it extends further than her boob. I’ll concede that she looks vaguely human in that video, but nowhere even remotely near sexy. I’ve got nothing against her personality though, and have never had the impression she was a ditz in her interviews. ---

She really does have a great body, I’ll give her that, but the fact that Brad hit that stuff for six years and still quit it should tell everyone that she is most likely 9 ways of fucked up and annoying as hell. ---

_“Hackers?”_ (“I’m not a phone phreaking, warez-weilding, leetspeaking, mad-skillz-having hackerette, but I play one on TV…”) Whoops. I was replying to the question at the bottom of page one. Should have known there’d be _at least_ a page two. ---

Why does it mean that? Perfectly normal, not particularly annoying, decent looking people get divorced all the time. Perhaps they really did separate on the basis of his desire to have children and hers not to. Maybe he and Ms. Jolie have found true love, and that’s nothing to do with Ms. Aniston. Who knows? I don’t even particularly having any opinion of Jennifer Aniston, positive or negative, but I don’t think the fact that Brad Pitt left her means she’s a fucked up, annoying person. Could be he’s the one who’s fucked up-- he did renege on his marriage vows for a woman who had previously pledged eternal love and devotion to Billy Bob Thornton ;). But to think we actually know much of anything about either of them is pretty silly. ---
