'Tasteless... with one too many flops': Rupert Everett takes a swipe at Jennifer Aniston's career
My Best Friend's Wedding star Rupert Everett has slammed Jennifer Aniston's career in a new radio interview.
The 51-year-old British actor claimed Hollywood's power players promote people they consider stars, despite poor performances the box office.
'If you look and analyse the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by the business,' Everett told BBC Radio 4.

'You'll find there's lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they'll stand with them for quite a long time.'
He then used the 41-year-old star of Just Go With It, The Bounty Hunter and The Switch as an example.
'OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club,' Everett continued.
'And she will still manage to… like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula.'

He also had Oscar-nominated actor Colin Firth in his sights.
'Colin Firth I don't think was at all good in Mamma Mia! I would have thought it was almost a careericide,' Everett sniped.
Everett did manage one compliment, however. 'On the other hand, I think [Firth's] performance in A Single Man was the best performance of his life.'
His comments were part of a broader claim that the Hollywood film industry is plagued by homophobia.
Everett, who came out as gay in the late 1980s, believes the decision damaged his career.
'Showbusiness is ideally suited for heterosexuals - it's a very heterosexual business, it's run mostly by heterosexual men, and there's a kind of pecking order.'
He added: 'I just never got a job there [in Hollywood], and I never got a job here, after [coming out]. I did a couple of films, I was very lucky at the beginning of my career... and then, I never had another job here for 10 years probably and I moved to Europe.
'Hollywood is an extremely conservative world that pretends to be a liberal world.'
Rupert Everett takes a swipe at Jennifer Aniston's career - tasteless and too many flops
Jennifer’s Perfume is a Stinker - Sales Are Down!
Are sales of the signature fragrance from everyone’s favorite Friend not smelling so sweet?
Jennifer Aniston’s having a bit of a rough time lately. With actor Rupert Everett taking her to task over her “tasteless” career recently, her life’s hardly a bed of roses. Here’s another less-than-rosy picture that’s plaguing the actress: sales of Aniston’s perfume are reportedly down in the UK. Want more dish on her fragrance folly? Read on, beauty fans!
According to E! Online, sales for Aniston’s signature scent, originally called “Lolavie” but released simply as “Jennifer Aniston,” are down since the fragrance’s launch in London this past summer. The cause? Reportedly Aniston hasn’t done much to support sales of the fragrance.
A rep for the actress vigorously denies the rumor, stating “It’s absolutely not true…The fragrance was launched specifically for [London's famed department store] Harrods and Jennifer went there personally to launch it and to do press.”
Aniston’s rep goes on to defend the star, saying, “”The launch was one of Harrods’ most successful with the fragrance selling out that day… The U.S. launch of the fragrance will happen sometime this coming year and Jennifer will be actively promoting the launch here in the U.S.”
I hate to interject here, but is one visit to promote the launch of a fragrance on another continent really all you can do to promote a fragrance bearing your own name? Katy Perry was on BOTH continents promoting her fragrance this fall.
Oh well, time will tell moving into the stateside launch of Aniston’s fragrance. Hopefully the US launch will smell sweeter for the busy actress and retailers, as it appears UK sales kind of, well, stink.
Will YOU buy Jennifer Aniston’s fragrance when it hits stores in the US this year?
Jennifer Aniston Caught with Skirt Up At C London Restaurant
Stop trying to look up Jennifer Aniston's short skirt! LOL...just joking. Jennifer Aniston is in the UK this week to promote her new perfume sarcastically named Lovalie. Yesterday night while on her way to the restaurant C London she got out of her car in a short skirt and the rest is kind of self explanatory. Thankfully you cannot actually see her old dusty, unloved vagina. Based on the way she repels men who dates her there is probably something seriously wrong with it. I wonder if Aniston is flattered that the paparazzi are still trying to photogragh her beaver? And the name of the perfume makes perfect sense if you break the word down: "Lovalie" or "Lov-A-Lie". This is why she can't keep a man. Even she doesn't believe in love anymore. But is she saying love is a lie or is she saying you should love a lie? Wow, just something to think about while you look up her skirt.
Jennifer's New Obsession
London, July 10 – Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston is in love with her latest obsession – a cockapoo, a cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle.
Aniston already has Norman, a 15-year-old corgi-terrier mix, and Dolly, a four-year-old white shepherd.
‘She adopted because she fell in love with her acting coach’s dog,’ contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.
The 41-year-old adopted the dog from a non-profit organisation Saving Spot in Los Angeles.
Jennifer Aniston is Pregnant?
Even before she split from her husband Brad Pitt years ago, Jennifer Aniston’s personal life and the odds of becoming a mother had constantly made international headlines. Today is no different and, depending on whether she has a project to promote or not, stories about her being pregnant surface in the glossies and tabloids with almost clock-like regularity.
This week’s issue of OK! Magazine bears what could be (at first sight) a shocking caption: “YES! I AM HAVING A BABY.” Sadly, though, this publication has a history of misleading headlines, and this seems to be the case here too because the excerpt from the upcoming number published on the online teaser issue says nothing in terms of coming with a confirmation from Aniston herself that she is, indeed, pregnant. Most likely, it will either include a quote from a “source” or use an older statement from the star in which she says she wouldn’t rule out having babies at some point, it is being said.
“In the new issue of OK! – on sale everywhere Thursday – we’ve got the inside scoop about Jennifer Aniston’s baby plans that everybody is going to be talking about! Why Jen’s finally ready now! Who might the daddy be? What the star is doing to prepare for being a mom! For more on Jen’s move into motherhood, pick up the new issue of OK!” the weekly trumpets on the official website.
Until the “Friends” star does step forward to confirm (or deny) pregnancy, in other children news, reports says she’s been banned from coming anywhere near Angelina Jolie’s. Unnamed sources have been telling the media that Jolie found out partner Brad Pitt had renewed contact with his ex, and warned him that he’s to go out of his way she (Aniston, that is) never gets to spend time with the couple’s six children. Angie doesn’t want the kids confused, the spies claimed.
“As usual, Brad explained to her that his friendship with Jen is totally innocent and all about business. She told him that’s fine and she accepts there is nothing she can do about it. But she said the kids might not be so understanding and might even get upset that dad was spending so much time with another woman who happens to be his ex-wife. She said they might get very confused and Brad should be smart enough not to put them in that position,” a tipster dished for the National Enquirer the other day, as we also informed you.
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston Re-united?
Brad Pitt is getting close to ex Jennifer Aniston, Star reports.
The duo reportedly met to discuss their production company Plan B.
“When she got to his offices and saw him walking toward her, she said it took her breath away and she was overwhelmed with emotion,” a source said.
Angelina was not aware the two were meeting!
“Whenever they are in L.A., she worries that Brad is going to run into [Jennifer] or meet up with Jen on the sly,” says the insider.
Jen scheduled another meeting – at her home, Hollywoodlife report! “She suggested he come by her place, have some margaritas and check out everything she’s done to remodel it,” said a source. “Jen knows he’s obsessed with architecture.”
Jennifer Aniston's Neighbors Panic
Cops were called to the home of Jennifer Aniston this weekend after neighbors thought they heard a home invasion going down ... but it turned out to be just a talkative alarm system.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they received a frantic call from Aniston's neighbors after they heard noises coming from her home. When cops arrived, we're told they determined it was a false alarm.
The noises neighbors thought they heard -- just a talking alarm system.
Aniston was not home when the alarm started yakking.
"Friends" money, people ... buys all sorts of stuff.

Jennifer Aniston's Hottest Moments - Which is your favorite?
Jennifer Aniston recently took off her top to flaunt her abs for Smart Water, but she has some much barer editorial moments in her past. From showing her bottom on the cover of Rolling Stone in 1996 to her side boob on the cover of Vanity Fair to posing in just a tie for GQ in 2008, the 41-year-old actress has never been shy about showing some skin.
What was your favorite Aniston moment?
Does Jennifer Aniston Have a New Love?
Do you know what I love about reading what I call 'the dailies?' It's that they come up with so many stories that are so irrelevant to our lives. Then again, maybe they are more relevant than we think.
Did you see that Jennifer Aniston has a brand new love interest? Someone who is going to move into her beautiful Beverly Hills mansion?
That place is zen-like. It's gorgeous. It's decorated to the nines.
According to sources, though, the reason Jen is having someone move in is that she really wants to meet a man. The problem in her love life has been that she only dates Hollywood bad boys. Of course, we all know about her marriage to Brad Pitt, and her relationships with Vince Vaughn and Gerard Butler.
Jen has finally done something right in her love life. She is finally moving in with someone like you and me. Jen actually decided to go out and meet a "normal" person, so now she is going to have a brand new roommate in her beautiful Beverly Hills love nest.
Do you know who that person is? It is one of her best friends and yoga instructor Mandy Ingber. According to one magazine I read, Jen and her new yoga instructor roommate are going to have great parties this summer so they can meet great men and support each other in dating. Here's where the idea becomes really good.
I think Jennifer Aniston deserves love. This idea is great because her yoga instructor pal will actually invite some normal guys to these parties -- some non-Hollywood types. Then Jen might actually find love with a very stable person.
Actors are very unstable partners. Remember what your grandmother used to say? Always date a doctor or a lawyer because they're stable. Maybe that's what Jen needs.
Let's go a little deeper into this idea. How many of you are in your 30's or your 40's and haven't yet found love? You're getting lonely. You don't want to have one more bad relationship.
Go find a roommate. There's nothing wrong with it. It's actually kind of fun.
Shack up with one of your good buddies. That way you have someone to come home to who has no expectations. That way you have somebody to come home to who already accepts you and loves you for who are.
You actually have a built-in winggirl (or wingman) with whom you can go out and meet the opposite sex. You have somebody who will actually force you to go meet somebody, get out of your comfort zone, and who will make your house not feel so lonely anymore.
This may be the first celebrity ever to have a really good idea. So be like Jennifer Aniston and get a roommate. If you can't find love, be like Jennifer and get a roommate. Who knows? It might just keep you out of bad and needy relationships.
This could be the first article I've ever written in which I'm saying that a celebrity has come up with a great idea. Jennifer, if you do need help dating then I think you've taken the first step. Your next step is to hire a dating coach, and I will gladly work with you to show you where to find some amazing non-Hollywood actor type men.
Jennifer Aniston’s Cleavage Saves Face
This is a post for those of you who find Jennifer Aniston attractive, look at this face and tell me she’s hot. I’m not saying that she’s not somewhat pretty and that she doesn’t have a killer body, she does and I would hit it, I’m sure all of you have seen the Jennifer Aniston bikini pictures I’ve had on the site over the years. I’m just saying her face needs work. She looks like she rides a short bus to her adult education classes. Anyhow, luckily for her, that cleavage manages to distract us enough to overlook the weird facial expressions. Enjoy.
Brad Pitt thinks Jennifer Aniston is "Pathetic"
Joanna Mazewski
Hollywood, CA, United States (AHN) - Perhaps he could just be jealous? After seeing his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston on the cover of his favorite magazine, Architectural Digest, actor Brad Pitt is calling her “pathetic” and “desperate” for attention.
Aniston appeared on the March issue of the magazine, in which she explained how she “renovated” her ex-husband out of her Beverly Hills mansion. Now, a few months after the interview was printed, a source close to Pitt says the furry-faced former heartthrob is none to happy about it.
“Brad thinks she is pathetic,” the source says. “He feels this is all so desperate. It was a ploy to get his attention.”
Whether or not it was a ploy on Jennifer’s part to get her ex to talk about her again, his delayed response doesn’t seem to bother the rom-com actress. Aniston, who is currently shooting a film with Adam Sandler and Nicole Kidman in Hawaii, has been spotted looking radiant and healthy for photogs while Pitt had been the picture of gloom and misery on daddy duty in Venice, where his partner Angelina Jolie is filming her next movie.
-------------------------------------------
Brad Pitt has allegedly told close friends that his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston is 'pathetic' for appearing on the front of his favourite magazine.
An unnamed source told US Weekly Pitt complained to friends that Aniston was never interested in architecture and she used to make fun of him for his interest in it.
'Brad thinks she is pathetic,' said the source.
'Brad feels this is all so desperate.'
Pitt appeared on the cover of Architectural Digest in 2009.
'It was a ploy to get his attention,' said the source.
Pitt and Aniston were married in 2000 and divorced in 2005.
Jennifer wants to be a director someday
LONDON (Reuters) - After years of starring in romantic comedies, actress Jennifer Aniston is hoping to step behind the camera and direct her first feature film.
The former "Friends" star told reporters in London that she was thinking about branching out after making more than six movies since the end of the popular TV comedy in 2004.
"I have a project in development I'm going to direct. After you get enough movies under your belt you sit back and go, 'What's next?'," Aniston, 41, was quoted as saying by Britain's The Sun newspaper on Monday.
"It's getting to a time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction," she added.
Aniston's directorial feature debut however could still be some years away. The "Bounty Hunter" and "Marley and Me" star has acting role movies in three other movies scheduled for release in 2010 and 2011.
Aniston's publicist in Los Angeles said nothing concrete had been decided and that possible projects Aniston might direct are still in the writing stage of development.
Aniston has already co-directed the 2006 short drama "Room 10" with Andrea Buchanan that won a prize at the CineVegas film festival.
If she moves into feature film directing, she would follow the likes of Hollywood actresses Drew Barrymore and Helen Hunt.
Aniston last week unveiled plans for a new perfume called Lovalie that will be launched in London this summer. She also revealed an ad campaign for the fragrance that shows her sitting on a rock at a beach wrapped only in a large towel.

Aniston says her perfume is an extension of herself
Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston says her debut perfume Lolavie is not overpowering and is ‘an extension’ of herself.
Aniston says her fragrance is something she's been working on for a long time as she wanted to get it just right.
"It's been a year-and-a-half journey. I'd been asked to do things before, and it never felt organic. But when Leon Falic approached me to be involved with the process from inception to fruition, I thought, 'This could be a creative expression'. And it's turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
Jennifer is hopeful women will like the scent because it's not too overpowering.
"Lolavie is sexy and clean floral, but not too flowery. I want people to go, 'What is that? You smell great!' But most of all I wanted it to smell natural," she added.
Meanwhile.....
Jennifer Aniston: What’s the reason behind that smile!
It seems like the ex Mrs. Brad Pitt and Friends star Jennifer Aniston has learnt her way to happiness. In fact she has started to give some suggestion to live a happy life. In a recent interview she has revealed that she has stopped caring about other people’s views about her. Now she knows that she can’t change one’s opinion and thought process, so why care about them. Now she only cares about herself.
She explained: “I don’t think you can control that at the end of the day. You can’t stunt what you do to please or not please the public.”
“And the media will create stories whether they are true or false. So why stop doing what makes you happy? Be true to yourself and everything else will follow.” She added.
Well, we agree dear.
She also shared her love for direction. Notably she has directed a short movie named ‘Room 10′ in 2006, and since then, there are only speculations about her directing another one. But now, she has come up with an answer to all these rumors.
She said: “I have a project in development I’m going to direct. After you get enough movies under your belt, you sit back and go, ‘What’s next?’ It’s getting to be the time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction.”
She also revealed her love for comedies. We all know her for her comic role in Friends, and she says that she loves to do a comedy. She candidly says that she tries to experiment with different genres, but its comedy which comes natural to her.
“Obviously, I’m drawn to comedy, good or bad. But I love doing parts that are different and I sprinkle those throughout to get creatively unstuck.
“I’m really excited about my next movie ‘Buttercup’. It’s not trying not to make people laugh and it’s not a big tent pole picture. It will be more for me – and for the people who say, ‘You should do something serious.’ ”
We will look forward to ‘Buttercup’!
Jen secret meeting with Brad
In a story that definitely wasn't planted by her publicist to get back at that backstabbing bitch Angelina Jolie, In Touch Weekly claims that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt have been secretly hooking up. Yeah, sure they are:
In an exclusive interview, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s former bodyguard reveals that since Brad and his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston reconnected at the 2009 Academy Awards, they have hooked up four times — three times in LA and once in New York — and even recently shared a passionate kiss. “I know that he still loves her,” the ex-bodyguard Bill, who for security reasons chooses only to be identified by his first name, tells In Touch.
In fact, there was one date that Bill says brought them closer than ever — and since then, their relationship has heated up even more. Brad and Jen arranged a secret meeting at the trails off of Western Canyon Road in Beverly Hills on December 9, Bill says. At 3:30p.m., Jen pulled up to the location in her Bentley, and Brad arrived on his motorcycle. After Brad climbed into Jen’s passenger seat, “They were very cozy, clearly embracing,” Bill reveals for the first time. “Several times, Brad and Jen were hugging and kissing.” After talking and nuzzling for about 30 to 40 minutes, Bill, who was on “paparazzi watch,” advised the pair that they should leave, as photographers were spotted just a few miles away. “Jennifer left first, flashing Brad a quick peace sign and a smile,” says Bill. “Brad jogged back to his motorcycle, drove off and went for an hour bike ride.”
This bodyguard says that for "security reasons" he just wants to go by his first name? Obviously he's not very good at security. Unless Brad has 50 guys named "Bill" on his payroll, this guy's going to stick out more than Nicole Kidman at the Million Man March. Hopefully this whole ordeal has taught Brad how to keep his employees from spilling secrets to the media: always pay your Bill.
Jennifer Losing Momentum?
Here’s Jennifer Aniston at yet another Bounty Hunter premiere looking well, like she always looks, plain. I’m starting to get a little sick of this, everywhere I look there’s Jennifer just standing there in a boring dress, not flashing any cleavage, not giving us a peek up her skirt, not even licking her lips or making sexy faces… Just standing there. She’s so dull, no wonder she can’t keep a man. I bet in bed she just lies there like a starfish. Not that I wouldn’t want to have my way with that starfish, but she needs to spice things up a little. We know she’s got a good body, we’ve seen it in her bikini, give us something. Even just a tighter dress… Anything, I’m begging you.
How to make relationships work : Aniston
ANI
London: Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston has doled out some advice on relationships, and why some are not easy to get along with.
In an interview on The Ticket, Aniston, 41, talks about how she feels better than she ever has, and doled out her take on what makes relationships so difficult these days.
"We're all a lot more complicated. We've also become more wary and more demanding, maybe," the Mirror quoted her as saying.
"Men and women are developing higher expectations and sometimes that creates too much pressure because your partner is not always going to be everything you want.
"We have to learn to appreciate our differences and enjoy the fact that we all evolve differently over time. So it's only natural that couples have to adjust to those changes.
"If you're open to that, it can be interesting and you can make that part of your journey together. Relationships are not static things. You have to keep communicating and trying to understand your partner," she added.
Jennifer Aniston wants to settle down, have kids
London, March 20 (Calcutta Tube) Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston has revealed it is her ‘dream’ to settle down and start a family with a ‘great man’. The 41-year-old actress who is rumoured to be dating her ‘The Bounty Hunter‘ co-star Gerard Butler has admitted her main goal in life now is to settle down and become a mother and is looking for an eligible man, reports gossipblender.com.
‘I’ve had some wonderful experiences. I hope I’ve reached a point where I’m ready to enjoy being with a great man and having a family together. That’s always been my dream,’ she said.
Aniston has dated several famous guys since she split from her ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2005, including John Mayer, Vince Vaughn and Paul Sculfor.
Jennifer Aniston: Gerard Butler linkup false
Jennifer Aniston: Gerard Butler linkup false…Brad Pitt needs not to worry!
Who is that pretty face gorgeous superstar who is been single since long? And who was left alone after her husband was snatched by a relatively sexier lady? That’s Jennifer Aniston…and there is no love as such in her life these days…but she desperately needs one!
Does she want back love in her life? Is that the reason she is annoyed at the comments made by the media on her alleged romantic linkups with her costar Gerard Butler? And more precisely, does she want Brad Pitt back inher life? We go a little more in details…
Contact Music reported few days back that Jennifer Aniston had shown an interest to welcome back an old-flame in her life. When asked, Jen told the reporters that she would like to have an ex back in her life to restart from the beginning. She said that people do change and she would like to try once again. Though she didn’t name anyone from her past life, we surely got the hint!
Wasn’t it just few days back that Jennifer Aniston was in news for trying to take back Brad Pitt from Angelina Jolie? Didn’t we hear that she was the one teaching Brad of how unhappy his life would be with Jolie? And wasn’t there a report that Brad was sent back when he tried to come back to his ex-wife?
And now when the rumors about her alleged linkups with Gerard Butler hit the headlines, she felt “insulted”. Well, quote possibly because the reports made Brad jealous and she wanted to clarify it to him!
Now, two plus two makes four and the two reports, if analyzed together, do smell fishy! Doesn’t that hint that Jen wants to let Brad know that she is still open to welcome him back toher life?
Jennifer Aniston to launch her own fragrance
Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston is reportedly working on a new fragrance for the last 20 months and plans to launch it in style.
"Jen has yet to get 100 percent behind any name, but the one she favours is 'Aniston'," Ok! magazine quoted a source as saying.
However, some of the ad executives behind the perfume really disliked the name. Another suggestion, "Echo," was also rejected." Jen wants to unleash some really glamorous commercials on TV, once her perfume is named.
"It's all about capturing the idea of romance and freedom at any age, but it's hard to do that in just one word," the source added.
-------------------------------------------
Jennifer Aniston is the latest celeb to create a perfume line, but the launch reportedly has been delayed because the “Friends” actress can’t decide on a name, reported OK! Magazine. Jen reportedly has been working on the project for almost two years, but has yet to come up with a suitable title for her creation.
The actress wanted the scent to be simply called “Aniston,” but that was deep-sixed by the ad execs, along with her other fave, “Echo.” How about “High Maintenance?” That seems to capture her eau de Jen.
