Jennifer Aniston: "I Still Believe in Love"

Despite highly publicized splits from Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston still thinks she'll find "The One."
"I'm still a romantic," the actress, 40, tells the October issue of Australia's Harper's Bazaar. "I still believe in love."
Aniston also reflects on why the romance ends in relationships.
"I think it's laziness. I really do. I think a good relationship is about collaboration," she says. "I think you just need to talk to each other. Say what you need. Say what you want. That way it's not threatening. You just need to say, 'This is important to me.' Don't expect your mate to read your mind."

Aniston (next seen in Love Happens, out Sept. 18) says she thinks women "do too much" for their men, and then act surprised when the guys take advantage.
"I think that's because it's just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home. Women complain that men don't do enough, but it's your own fault," she says. "You train your man to do nothing. You can't blame someone for not knowing what his or her job should be if you don't ask for it right off the bat."
The actress, who was rumored to be getting cozy Gerard Butler, her costar in The Bounty, also opens up abut how she moves past a relationship when it ends.
"I think it's important to have closure in any relationship that ends -- from a romantic relationship to a friendship. You should always have a sense of clarity at the end and know why it began and why it ended. You need that in your life to move cleanly into your next phase."
Tell Us What You Think
126What is it about JA that attracts the crazies like flies? Who cares if she plays the same type of character over and over? If you don't like her movies don't go see them. If you don't like what she says in her interviews don't read them. I don't understand this hating on somebody people don't know and will never meet.
I do not believe that it is her that goes on and on about her failed relationships. The media portrays that. I have seen her numerous times avoiding the entire topic, yet they refuse to let up. I do not think because you have been in 3 relationships that that would make you a loser. I am sure that you only know because it is so publicized through the media.
Lol, why are you guys bringing up Brad? She has definitely moved on, and so should you guys! Concentrate on your lives ;))
haters everywhere you go! go jenn!!
Will be taking her advise if I want to get rid of a man not to keep a man..Sorry Chin
"I think that's because it's just instinctual as a woman to be the caretaker of your home. Women complain that men don't do enough, but it's your own fault," she says. "You train your man to do nothing." So funny, advise on relationships comming from her, does she have a man...? Oh no they all dump her after one night...
September 10, 2009 - 5:05am Only FAT people HATE Says: LMAO at the FAT WHITE WOMAN who keeps posting as Anonymous about how much she dislikes Brad Pitt. YOU LOSER, you're so pathetic. Brad Pitt is better looking than you or any man you will ever be with. And he makes more money in one day then you will in your entire WORTHLESS LIFE. You're a nobody, just another anonymous statistic. Brad Pitt is 10000000x the human being you'll ever be and at least he doesn't waste his life writing abut celebrities on a website. But i love how much you're obsessed with hating Brad Pitt. I love that he's taken over your mind & your life & you are so CONSUMED with hatred you can't get him out of your mind. HAHAHHAHAHAHA. I bet if your mother knew this is what your life would become she would've aborted you. --------------------------------- I've come here a lot, and have seen some insulting comments, but this is really evil. You sound like Satan. If anybody has hate, it's you. Get the help you need.
I dunno about Jen anymore. I don't think a woman needs a man to make her whole, but women who don't indeed need a man to make them whole don't go on and on about finding love the way Jen does. They simply live their lives to the fullest and fill their lives with other things, and if love happens then it happens, but if it doesn't, it doesn't. That's not what Jen does. She, on the other hand, can't stop talking about her damn relationships and she seems to constantly need to be in one. If that's the case...if she really needs to be in a relationship in order to feel whole, then why the hell doesn't she learn her damn lessons? She goes from relationship to relationship, it seems, without learning why they failed and so the cycle repeats itself. That's pretty stupid. She has to pick one: 1. either be ok about not being in a relationship and STOP stressing so damn much about it! or 2. learn what has made her past relationships fail and work on the areas that need work, and hopefully, she'll find something long term. Anything other than those two will make her continue to seem soooooo ridiculously annoying.
Dupe hit it on the head, great, accurate post. Jens a loser, wish she would STFU already! She's insulting our intelligence by thinking we care. Nothing but a whiny, lame desperado. She needs to get over herself in a hurry. Sorry Jen, posing half nude doesnt hide your messed up sour puss face. A butta face with a nice figure, woo hoo! Oh, and quit stealing peoples money and make a watchable movie, you owe that to your loyal fans/Jenhens. Not me, cant stand your movies. I'm speaking for them because they are so diluded and naiive. They think everything you do is great. Some people are easily impressed apparently.

Hey Jen, Just look at Nicole Kidman. See how she handled a high profile divorce? She never goes on about it. She doesn't drone on and on about relationships and love like you do. So boring. She moved on. Found love with someone not so high profile. Keith who? Her movie career takes second place to her family. You have the money and the fame, why keep dishing out crap rom-coms every other week? HOw about bowing out of the limelight and find yourself a suitable partner, instead of fake high profile romances. And do shut up about relationships and love already. Is there more to you than hair, love, Brad, rom-coms, looks, yoga and botox face? Clearly not. This is not a movie career you have, just Rachel from friends endless rom-coms made by your production company. Enough already.
Jennifer Aniston giving relationship advice! What is the world coming to? Spend all your life on your looks, marry a man who wants a big family (when you know you really don't), stop your mother attending your wedding because she said you had a big bum as a teen (how vain!), never take responsibility for the breakup of your marriage, play the victim card, whinge, whinge, whine, whine, go on talk shows for pity, whinge some more, then date unsuitable men to promote your cram rom-com movies, fake romances gallore, whinge some more. Watch your former husband live a more fulfilled life with the big family he's always wanted, as he ages gracefully and enjoy wonderful career- while you spend all your days trying to stay young. Don't forget. You might look young, your uterus and ovaries ain't.
Brad Pitt is never with those kids he claimed to want. He uses them to pimp out his movies and no he was never the sexiest man alive, he just wears makeup and tries his best to look like Angelina Jolie, like he did with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston. US Weekly is on the Brangelina payroll, I'll guess they'll never mention Brad's tendency to date underage girls, who wants to have kids with a pedophile like Brad
Brad Pitt was probably the love of Aniston's life. However, Aniston wanted a career and the "sexiest man alive" (at the time), wanted children and family. You can't blame a guy for not waiting around forever. Pitt found happiness, a great woman and 6 children with St. Angelina Jolie. The only true love Aniston will have now is with her dogs. Her choice. She must want to flush herself down the toilet for being so damn stupid! She had the sexiest man alive and threw it away - TO PLAY FREAKING RACHEL GREEN FROM FRIENDS! IDIOT!!
September 09, 2009 - 6:52pm Anonymous Says: How much did Brad Pitt pay Us Weekly to twist Jennifer Aniston's words again. Brad's relationships with Gwyneth Paltrow, Julliete Lewis and Robin Givens weren't exactly low key events either. They were highly publicised. I wonder if US Weekly got the same rate they did for the Renee non-story. US Weekly is on the Brangelina payroll. Move along folks ------------------------------------ that's true so suck it. brad's pays all tabloids to say bad things about chin chin. so deal with it dumb fcuk
Brad Pitt does his very best to imitate the women in his life. Us Weekly is on the Brangelina payroll as we all saw with the "friend" of Jen that made the cover. Brad Pitt tries his best to look like the women in his life. Only gay men are attracted to him because he wears makeup and dyes his hair to look like the women in his life Texas Rose
The only highly publicised split was with Brad Pitt, who tipped the media off about his time on a beach with his costar. I don't remember either Jen or Vince ever telling anybody why they broke up. I don't remember Jen ever turning up at events matching clothes with her partners like Brad does with all the famous women he dated. When has he ever dated a low key woman out of the limelight? He even needed to sleep with underaged teenagers to get attention in Hollywood but I guess that fact will never make US Weekly covers

omg ppl are so nasty & cruel sometimes! 1st of all she NEVER mentioned Brad, that would be US weekly. 2nd you all sound extremely jealous of her & act like just because she didnt want to have children right away its a huge crime. get over the fact that she doesn not care about the home wreckers & their family. as long as they are respectful to her she will not call them out on their bs. no one cares about angie she is over rated

Brad upgraded, not just on beauty but on everything else. If you think Angie has a manly face, OMG, you really need glasses. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amigo, I could not agree with you more!! So funny good thing I was not drinking coffee when I read your comment!! Thank you for the morning facts and humor!! Adios!
