In her new comedy The Switch (out Aug. 20), Jen Aniston plays Kassie Larson, a single woman seeking a sperm donor.
"For Kassie, it was almost like she was designing a Nike sneaker online," Aniston, 41, tells Entertainment Tonight. "I'm going to pick the perfect donor. He's going to be blonde; he'll have a high IQ."

When it comes to her real life, the actress jokes, "I want it to match my Jimmy Choos and my couch."
Kidding aside, Aniston says, "I don't think for me personally that is something that I want, but again I say you don't rule anything out because I don't know what's going to happen anymore. I could walk out of this hotel and meet the man of my dreams or get hit by a bus. Anything is possible."

At a weekend press conference at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, Aniston said that yes, she still wants kids. "I have said it years before and I still say it today," she said.

Even though she is currently unattached, Aniston said she is confident she could raise a child on her own.

"Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," she told reporters. "Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."
Tell Us What You Think
139@Pissed It does NOT work for EVERYONE! There are MANY PROFESSIONAL women OUTSIDE of Hollywood in their 30+ that have been UNABLE to find their IDEAL MATE! Do you think they should SETTLE for a "man" that is NOT worthy? HECK NO THEY SHOULDN'T! IF THEY WANT A CHILD THAN IT IS THEIR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO HAVE A CHILD ANY WAY THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO!! NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MAN BC IN THIS THING CALLED REALITY THERE MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT MAN FOR YOU! NOONE SHOULD HAVE TO SETTLE FOR ANY LESS THAN THEIR IDEAL MATE!!!!!
@ BET..all i am saying stop the maddness about not needing a man to rasie a child..a child is supposed to have both parents in his/her life..its really not about the parents its about the child/children..kids all the time ask another child about their parents and then when one of the kids don't have both parents they want ask mommy the ? where is my dad/mom? what happen to my dad/mom. It is really better for the child/children. Her best friend is still with her daughters father. Angelina is with her bio-kids father. and on top of that he adopted her other 3 kids and became a father to them.If you are a single mother God bless ya, but encourage the younger ones, tell them to wait and find a good husband settle down and then have children it really works.
@ lol this is pissed comong back at ya..teens seems to try to imitate adult you nitwit, if the teen seem that everybody is ok with women having babies without husband what in the fuck do you think we are teaching them..Teenager seems to think they are grown anyway so why put it out there to have babies without a father. Teenager idolize celebrities already what good is Jen having babies w/o a father how would that look to her younger fans..If jen can do then so can i ...you dumb ass.
Maybe that time jennifer aniston was not that popular & bankable, while jolie was and still is... perhaps brad pitt opted to marry d latter, we dont know but it seem so..... now jennifer has not done anything wrong against a person, couple/marriage... she is worth having her own happiness w/ or w/o husband, w/ or w/o kids... for as long as she is happy... at least she is not at all hypocrite & a home breaker...she enjoys being herself and single. I just wish she could find a non-showbiz handsome, loyal & rich husband to sire her w/ great kids and be w/ her 'til her gray hair days....peace.
Think everyone knows (but will they admit?) that pitt wanted kids and aniston didn't. she kept him riding for over 5 yrs until the shmuck finally realized she was using him to advance her career and had no intentions (room or no room) of starting a family. She's had more than ample opportunity since he left (yet, still no kids). He's obviously has no problem with adoptions (if there were a fertility issue other than abortions). She used him when they were together, since he left, and will continue until her dying day. She has nothing else and is the "coattail rider" extraordinaire (just as Streisand).
JA and Brad were planning to have kids. They had made a room ready in their house and they were seeing a fertility specialist just a year before breaking up. I saw an interview w her manager saying that. Do some research before you blame the poor woman on not wanting kids... There were several reports she had 2 miscarriages. It is tough on a couple to be in such a situation. Every couple has problems. They should try to solve them, but if some other woman jumps in then it is harder to work on your marriage. Thats what I believe is more accurate.
sandra bullock is just know having a child at what 52? media/tabloids - leave jen alone! she is a beautiful classy lady!
allison - angelina jolie said they were trying to get pregnant while brad was married - that came out of her mouth! maybe that is why she treats shiloh the way she does - a blob! goofy! instead of don't know her personality yet or creative or great imagination! shiloh was the beautiful little girl who they have driven into a boy for political agenda! like not getting married for EVERYONE can ! marriage isn't about everyone else it is between 2 people! jennifer is wonderful! brad set jennifer up on oprah show while he was still filming mr and mrs smith! when i saw him play i will Never forget looking at my sister and saying he is setting her up! (i didn't know at the time he was filming mr and mrs) however later it made perfect sense! so brad and angelina - set jennifer up! no other female has had to put up with so much trash from the other woman!
What I see is, she talking about options in this interview. she says about two mothers, two fathers, single mom and dad, and she says, now not the family with a dad, mom, kid and dog spot is picture perfect family. time changed. Basically, she is supporting her role in the movie by saying that and I can see it is true when i look around, society has changed like that. And about her to have a kid, when the interviewer asked, she said she won't use a donor but again she is not sure what is going to happen. She can afford to adopt like Meg Ryan, Sandra, or Sheryl Crow, can have a surrogate mother, just like Sarah Jessica Parker (I have read that she had miscarriage when she was married to Pitt and Pitt talked about it in an interview.) or have it by herself. Celine Dion and Kelly Preston are expecting now at their age. And I know a lady who had 4 miscarriages, some she lost in 5 months period and had a girl last year in her last pregnancy, which she had to deliver in 7 months, after she spent her all time of pregnancy in hospital bed. I have two neighbours who have never married and have no kids, and I know one of my lady professor in college who is not married and no kid lives her life, working only summer and fall goes on vacation in winter. If a normal people can do all these, why celebrity cannot. Anyway it is her decision.
Google and you will find many interviews, Brad also said that people should not blame Jen for them not having kids, it was he who didn't at the time. Brads girl friend already had a kid, and almost immediately got pregnant, they both said it was not planned, so the fact that so many kids were had by Brad or anyone doesn't mean they were ready for them.
jen, is one dumb bicth
@@LSK, no one knows what went on between brad and jen except them. it could be that it was never the right time because they weren't meant to be together. haven't you ever seen people date for years and years and not get married, then meet someone and get married after six months? same thing. it wasn't meant to be. let it go people and let them all move on already.
she looks great and she could do it on her own with no problem!
Apparently we did not see the same interviews. Definitely, I watched Brad Pitt say more than several times during his marriage to Jennifer Aniston that he wanted kids. He said they were working something out one time. She always had work lined up, project after project. Friends kept getting extended season after season, then it was back to back movies. The evidence does not point to a couple seriously trying to get pregnant. The evidence also points to Brad being ready to have kids as he quickly adopted Maddox and Zahara, then Pax, and had Shiloh and the twins. Brad: 6 kids. Jen: 0 kids.
hi jen, I want you to know that im wishing you a happiness in life, just pray to God for what givin up to you I know that someday you will find your man of your dream. I was really really sad about other people say something bad about you, just donâ??t mind them i know that you are good and strong person. Whenever or whatever they are saying just still pray for them coz they dont really know what they doing be what you are jen i love you.... have a nice day :-)
I think Jennifer is a smart and nice person.And INFERTILITY happens to a lot of women too.I also want to believe that she do wants children but just couldnt decide HOW,WITH WHOM,and WHEN.Probably she's a bit idealistic--in a way,maybe she's trying to look or wait for a man like her ex husband Brad Pitt to give her a baby or give her love.But you know,we really dont know what's her destiny in life.But I just feel sad for her too,I could give my sympathy towards her because she's always been asked about children..and sometimes its like a punch in the face as a woman if you dont have children of your own yet.
It is highly possible there wee fertility problems. Who knows. Maybe she just plain practices smart, responsible birth control. Anyway she is living her life as she chooses.
Hey, what about Rod Stewart - Isn't he becoming a Dad again at 65 or something like that? How incredibly selfish!
I cannot believe the ignorant, small-minded opinions on here! Does it occur to anyone (hello...anyone??) that her and Brad may have tried for children but it didnâ??t happen. That maybe, just MAYBE they had some fertility problems. It happens people. No-one knows what happened in her and BPâ??s marriage, but I love how you all think you know, as does the media. Guess what? NO-ONE does except them! There are plenty of women who are childless but everyone goes after JA all the time. I am sick of the â??poor Jenâ?? tag that people& the media have branded her with. Magazines are milking this supposed â??love triangleâ?? for all itâ??s worth because it sells mags and you are all buying into it â?? 5 years later! Newsflash â?? magazines makes stories up to sell more issues. Crazy, I know....
what i hate most about these people (jen, angie, julia, etc) is that they b itch and moan about not having any privacy and how it's no one's business blah blah blah until they have another crappy movie to promote and then they are all over the place and won't SHUT UP. can't have it both ways, sorry. Either be like Leo DeCaprio and never talk or be an open book
