Jennifer Aniston, at 41 and in absolutely incredible shape, has just done a tame topless photo shoot to promote her new perfume.

What’s the headline on the story on the Daily Telegraph website? Is it “Hot 41-year-old millionaire gets her kit off!”?

No. It’s “JA so sexy but can’t keep a man.” No where in the story does it mention her love life. In fact, apart from the perfume, the other other thing it refers to is her plans to move into directing. What a loser!

      What a harsh world. She is worth a mint and people are calling her loser. I’d be happily refered to as a loser if I had $100 million in the bank..

      She’s just unlucky in love.. It happens to the best of us…

      I’ve never thought she was a loser.

      She treated the whole thing with Angelina with nothing but grace and has come out on top.

      Good luck to her.

      She is one of the worlds most beautiful people. Most that say bad things about her are purely jealous, probably ugly.
      What she is like in person who knows.
      Yes she might be unlucky in love. Most men and many women I know would have run off with Ang. But if your Brad Pitt then you do have a choice. Whether we agree or not who cares. Brad and Ang didnt, neither does Jen. She comes across as very similar in personality to Jen Hawkins.
      Jen seems smart, she has looks, but im not leaving my family for her, not that she is asking. If I were single, then sure I would be more than happy to father her children.

      it’s her perceived desperation that makes her a loser!

      - if she wasn’t on the record as saying she so wanted to have a baby, if she looked like she was enjoying herself, her freedom, and having fun just dating the men she does, if she shut up already about brad pitt,  then she would be so much more attractive and not look the loser

      In what way is she seeming desperate? She just seems to me to be someone who is happy in her life, who is dating, just hasn’t met the right guy, but has friends in her life that she loves and spends time with.

      She hasn’t made a comment about Brad Pitt in about 5 years… And what is wrong with a woman wanting to have a baby?? Just because you wish it doesn’t mean (a) you are desperate or (b) your life is empty because of it. In fact, I find it the opposite - My husband can’t have kids and I’m told that I’m abnormal because I’m not desperately trying IVF or “just adopting” (the general consensus is that adopting is just sooo easy) - a few people consider me a heartless shrew who hates kids - despite the fact that I’m a school teacher….

      And how does she look like she is not enjoying herself? Even in the paparazzi shots she is always smiling…

      Really? Anybody cares what’s in the Telegraph?  There are more facts on a cereal box, and more sane commentary in my five-year-old’s scrapbook.

      Jen is definitely no loser to me. I think it just comes down to the media’s dreary obsession with celebrity love lives, and to the belief still common amongst a certain segment of society that a woman has not truly succeeded in life until she has hooked herself a man and / or popped out a baby.  They get together and convince each other that women like Jennifer are sad, lonely losers. The rest of us, however, just laugh at them and accept Jennifer for what she is - a talented, intelligent and creative woman who is living her life by her rules and no-one else’s. Go Jen!

      I once read an article about how calculated her relationship reveals were in order to garner sympathy/promote her movies - I think it was an NY paper that dissected everything she’s done in terms of movies/publicity since the divorce. Note, on the eve of the release of Salt and Angelina’s publicity for it, here we have, on cue, this ad - this is why I think she’s a loser. She can’t move on and stop trying to outdo Angelina.

      Excellent. This comment made my day. You see I’ve been sitting in a cubicle all day filling out TPS report cover sheets, something which I’m fairly sure human beings aren’t meant to be doing.

      She’s a loser because of her bitter attack on Angelina and her habit of going back to men who cheat on her ie John Mayer, Gerard Butler.

      Except for a few fluff rom-coms she’s barely had a career since Friends. Hardly something you’d call a successful career.

      She’s best known for being dumped by Brad Pitt because she refused to give him what he wanted. Pitt then went on to bigger and better things. Living proof that if you bat out of your league you better bring your top form to the game.

      She’s also dated one of the world’s biggest untalented douchebags, John Mayer. Proof she’s getting desperate.

      Each article you see about her reeks of desperation to be wanting to be considered relevant.

      Time to put her out to pasture

      @Bull, I think you’ll find John Mayer has several Platinum albums and half a dozen Grammys.
      Douchebag, yes.
      Untalented, unlikely

      The problem with Jen is she’s high-maintenance, and her ‘girl-next-door looks’ are fake (take a look at photos of her before she was really famous… very ordinary). I’d hate to see what she would look like if she was stranded on a deserted island for a few months… far from her entourage of hair, face, body, and stylist experts!

      She’s labeled a loser because she’s ingrained herself into our memories as the “poor-me-Brad-Pitt-cheated-on-me-and-dumped me” martyr. She falls back on it EVERY time she has a movie to promote. Whether or not she actually is a loser becomes irrelevant because this is the role she chooses for herself, each time she puts herself on a magazine cover.

      Oh come on. It’s hard enough going through being cheated on and dumped when you’re a nobody like me. Imagine having to deal with it when you’re famous and have the paparazzi shoving it in your face and seeing your ex and his new woman on the cover of every magazine for YEARS now. Personally, I think I would have gone postal long ago. I think Aniston’s shown great amounts of decorum - especially now since every tabloid latches onto her lovelife and seems to give it a use-by date without any justification.

    • Ellie says:

      I totally agree with Eleanor. I think I would have ended up in a mental home years ago had I been her and had to deal with so much scrutiny ALL THE TIME. I think it’s pathetic that people latch onto anything and everything in order to tear someone down. Jen is by no means a loser.

      She’s yummy.  Other than that period where the Friends girls all seemed to be in a weight-loss competition she’s always been pretty tasty.  I saw her Dad on DOTL (I was at home sick) t’other day for the first time in years and he’s well and truly looking his age.

      The Tele wrote a pathetic headline as usual.  Did anyone expect otherwise?The best solution is to stop reading it.

      Its the desperation of wanting to be married and have a baby, while she attaches herself to playboy douchbags who are just screwing her because shes hot, in the vain attempt to get them to settle down, marry her and impregnate her.

      No wanting to be married does not make you a loser, nor does wanting to have a baby. But wanting to marry anyone and get knocked up by anyone, and running around shacking up with losers to achieve this does make you a loser.

      Hot and successful, yes. A loser? Yes!

      Jennifer was famous for THAT hairstyle replicated by sooooo many women and for being on a successful TV show. The fact she managed to bank many millions of dollars and snap up (for a brief period of time) one of Holywoods most eligable men while having no acting ability makes her a winner in my book!

      Why does everyone call this woman a loser.
      A. Because she is.
      She lives her SATC role as her life. I’m afraid that doesn’t wash with men. Women please note.
      You do have to be something more than a vacuous airhead to attract a man.
      She is the epitomy of Australian women who claim a ‘man drought’.
      Please read slowly.

      I may well be one of the vacuous airheads you speak of Ray, but from memory, she hasnt been in SATC…. Unless you’re trying to say she lives like she has a role in SATC (in which case, you might want to be a little clearer).
      Ray, I’ve seen quite a few of the airhead women you speak of who have not only attracted a man, but married said man, and produced children. Admittedly, the airheads have big boobs, so I guess that might count as “something more”.
      And there are plenty of men out there…. but then I’m not out looking.

      Maybe it’s more a case of slim pickings where she lives.
