Jennifer Aniston Taking "Time Off" From Acting

Friday – September 11, 2009 – 1:06pm

 

After wrapping production on the comedy The Bounty with Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston says she is taking a break from acting.

"I'm going to go on an adventure, take myself somewhere," she tells Fox News. "I won't start another job until at least January. I want to take time off."

In January, production begins on The Goree Girls, a musical that Aniston, 40, is starring in and producing about a country music group of all-female prison inmates. She has even said she'll sing in the 1940s-era flick.

In addition to brushing up on her singing skills, Aniston (whose new romance Love Happens opens Sept. 19) tells Fox, "I'm going to throw myself into [production company] Echo and just keep plugging away."

Professionally, things look up. So how does she handle her frenetic personal life?

"It’s all mind over matter," Aniston tells Fox. "You acknowledge it and know that everything could be a lot worse. Remind yourself - gratitude."

    She needs acting lessons and some experience of real life not her current experience of 2 chefs, butler and estate manager. Maybe is she gets some experience she will gain some depth as she comes across as shallow in her interviews and spouts 2nd hand cheap philosophies that are so far from the humble eastern beginings which is not based on materialism. She is only famous for her marriage to a big movie star and then her divorce from the big movie star. If she hadn't married him she would have the career of Courteney Cox.

    When I was a kid, I've never heard or have seen such kind of behaviour in my family. My father was a man who attracted every woman eyes but he was in love with my mother and loved us so, so much, all of us. He never had another woman. We were a big, big family and he loved us all. But, first of all, what I could understand, it was that he loved my mother and had lot of respect for her. I would say that, he had lot of respect for himself too, if he never did something wrong to my mother and to all of us. So, we grew up without drama, without scandal in our family and, believe me, it was wonderful. In our days, what could we do in order to teach men and women to have respect for their wives, husbands and relatives ? Perhaps to tell them not to get married so quickly, not until an advanced age. Maby this would help.

    The Truth Is The Truth, Can You Handle It Losers????? , I agree with you. In fact, everybody know this. A man, can like you or cannot love you after a couple of years, even a couple of months after marriage. Unfortunately, some couples have to live such a drama public. From my experience of life, I can say that every family experience such a drama but not all have the currage to put an end and become single. Better, take a look in your family, in your relationship.

    Thank God, she needs to disappear for quite awhile. Guess she's never heard of over-exposure. Tired of seeing her masculine looking face everywhere. The thought of her without make-up is really scary.

    to all those ppl who say we're hating and she's their hero...shucks, get a new role model already! if you like that whole pretty classic american gal look then reese witherspoon, anne hathaway, rachel mcadams are far better ppl to look up to - for me if an 'actress' wants my respect than she has to stretch those acting chops, take on interesting projects and not be slapped all over the media. to me that just says she does all these interviews to compensate for her work being a bit lousy...

    you know, i'm pretty certain everyone that calls JA a mutt, or old, isn't nearly as attractive or successful as she is, even if they are younger than her (age isn't really something we earn guys- it is something you naturally pass through if you are fortunate enough to be alive). so, lets see. not everyone has to like every person on earth, opinions are subjective. she is successful, single, and yes, young. doesn't matter if not everyone is a fan. she has the ability to do as she wants with her life and know her future is secure even if she never has another "hit". doesn't sound like a bad life. looks as if she has done well for herself. is the hatred on these boards just jealousy or people who fancy themselves as having some importance in her or her ex's lives, or just malicous behviour that needs some kind of outlet? don't people have more in this world to concentrate on than insulting someone who they probably will never meet? give up the hatred. it is unhealthy and makes your lives sound so sad.

    GAWD you ppl need to get lives and stop hating on someone you don't know AT ALL! I for one am a huge JA fan and as a single successful woman of the same age think she is a strong independant woman and ppl should stop passing judgement as I bet not one of you haters would turn down her money, fame or looks if it was handed to you, thou I'm sure you will all say you would cuz u are a bunch of hypcrytes....GO JENN, ENJOY YOUR TIME OFF!

    Has anyone here even seen Derailed? She was not playing a rape victim - she was an evil conniving con artist! (sorry for spoiling the plot)And Marley and Me - she was playing Rachel...with kids...and a dog! Big stretch there. Don't hate the woman but everytime she's interviewed she seems to spout a lot of rubbish philosophies about love and life. 'Remind yourself - gratitude' ???? Someone's been eating too many fortune cookies...go and live in another city for a while Jen, meet a nice man, go on some dates, don't get too clingy and talk about Brad all the time, eat something and maybe get a new haircut (seem to remember that's worked for you before...) Then come back refreshed and think about doing some films that require more than you being sweet and kooky....maybe then you'll receive a bit more respect???
