America's sweetheart has a temper!

In the November issue of ELLE, Jennifer Aniston (who directs a short film in Lifetime's Five project) admits she once lost it on set with a male director -- and it got physical!

"I threw a chair at a director. It wasn't my proudest moment," the Horrible Bosses star, 42, admits.

But the outburst had nothing to do with Aniston's own ego or on-set demands. She explains: "He was treating a script supervisor horribly… When the director walked in, I threw a chair at him."

Good thing her aim wasn't so hot. "I missed, of course. I was like, 'You can’t speak to people like that.' I can't tolerate it.”

Aniston, who has appeared in dozens of films in addition to her smash TV show friends, declined to name which director set her off.

    @Rita Byrne How is Jen not out there pretending to give a crap about worldly issues? She just took a bunch of pictures at a cancer event while promoting her new movie. You think Jennifer is living in a normal house? Why are you making it sound like Angelina is terrible cause she lives the high life in mansions?

    @Rita Byrne Jennifer has talked about Brad many times after they divorced. He was wrong to say what he did, but he is entitled to say things too. And why exactly is Jen boring? Cause she plays the same character in every movie, which includes chasing after a man. She poses topless on multiple things including magazine covers, ads, and perfume bottles then gets called America's Sweetheart. That's why. You can say that Angelina is a phony all you want, but she's been doing charity since 2001. And by the way, stop calling Angelina a high school dropout. She graduated a year early. Please get your facts straight. I love people like you who respect Charlie Sheen and wish him well, yet hate Angelina. Oh that's right, you don't "hate" her, right? Hahaha.

    Rebecca, good grief, not once did Jennifer mention Brad after the interview he gave about their relationship. She is promoting her new movie Five. You know that thing ALL actors and actresses do when they have a movie coming out? That thing angelina does when she sells photos of her children to magazines? And why EXACTLY is Jen boring? because she's not out there acting like a complete idiot in clubs? Cause she's not out there pretending to give a crap about worldly issues while at the same time living the high life in mansions and angering women's rights groups like phonie jolie? You're last sentence "she is a very jealous scheming woman who will do anything to stay in the spotlight" made me LOL though, so cool that you know her so well to make such a comment, it doesn't even make sense... everyone in hollywood says she's a sweetheart

  • October 10, 2011 - 12:15pm Rebecca Enerson

    She is just trying to prove she isn't boring-Brad never even said that but since the whole world knows she IS boring the media just read between the lines-now she is pathetically digging up anything she can to seem like she is interesting-it obviously wasn't an exciting event because no one said boo about it before and now SHE is the one going around telling more stories about herself-which by the way is one of the biggest reasons she is SO BORING-and proof that she loves being on the tabloid covers every week and makes considerable effort on her part to stay on them-if she is so over Brad then why was she "seething" over his comment?? she has no say or control over what Brad can say or do anymore-he isn't her little trophy dog to drag around looking "just so" maybe that is what she is REALLY seething about-something tells me she has been doing this for years -hence John Mayer's song about her-Heartbreak Warfare-listen to it -it describes her perfectly-and the nicey-nice thing is an image people-she is a very jealous scheming woman who will do anything to stay in the spotlight

    oh, and @Jacqui Fanning, terra's right, it's not possible for a person to be tall and petite makes no sense, they're oxymorons. if you hate jen so much, don't comment on her, it's really pathetic to talk so much about a woman that you don't like for the sole purpose of spreading ur hatred. hope you know that while you're on here saying jen can't make a man happy and is so self-centered, she's out with the many friends she has and is enjoying time with her boyfriend

  • October 10, 2011 - 1:42am Karen Martin

    i guess some women are too insecure to admit when another woman is beautiful. angelina is a vixen? lol, right, if looking like a shot up heroine junky makes you "sexy" i'll take a "girl next door" look anyday. @Jacqui Fanning, "She would never date a regular joe scmo, she is self centered, vapid... She loves herslef too much for anyone else to fit into her life" how do you know this? i didn't know you were such good friends that you would know her personality like that. you must know this from your weekly meeting that you have with her, you loonatic. most everyone that works with her says that she's sweet, caring, and kind, but i guess you must know better then they do, even though they've met her, and you're just a crazed brangelina fan who hates her for no other reason then brad cheated on her with angelina. she can't make a man happy? well, justin seems pretty happy. bravo for being so well informed on who jen truly is

  • October 10, 2011 - 1:21am Terra Del Maro

    @Diane Lisi. i did ask when jen has said anything BAD about brad, the "sensitivity chip" thing was not bad, it was true. she shows it in her expressions? LOL THAT'S SO STUPID. so now not only should she not say anything, but she's not allowed to feel a certian way either? wow, you guys are trying to restrict women's rights in all sorts of ways. if you're stupid enough that jen was the one who "demanded an apology" you really are a brangelina fan. brad said straight forward that jen made no such demands, she didn't even contact him, or do you truly believe that brad is an idiot and is just jen's puppet? well, he is that stupid, i see why you'd think that. angelina won an oscar for a supporting role, it barely counts, never has she been significant enough in a leading role to win one. gorgeous? well, to some people, many people find her not to be. talented? not really, she just pouts and reads scripts with no emotions. and THIS ARTICLE IS NOT ABOUT ANGELINA. @Jacqui Fanning, to say justin is as tall as brad, but petite makes no sense they're to completely opposite descriptions, if he's petite so is brad, plain and simple. who's the dumb @ss here?

  • October 09, 2011 - 5:28am Frank Garrett

    @Olivia Payton Surely, you're not one to talk. Brangelina fans spend more time obsessing and talking about Jen, than they do Brangelina, really? You sure spend a lot of time commenting on stories of someone you don't even like. If you find Angelina so "boring", then simply don't comment on stories of her anymore. Thanks!

  • October 08, 2011 - 3:43am Olivia Payton

    It seems Brangelina fans spend more time obsessing and talking about Jen, then they do Brangelina. There must be a Angelina thread they can post to. This article has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with Brangelina. Jennifer has the bluest eyes.

    Diane Lisi - you do remember that Angelina did the same thing to her Dad, right? I'm just sayin' ...

    Only thing I can say is... Some of you people are NUTS with your comments that have NOTHING to do with the article! Good Lord. Move on... SHE HAS!

  • October 07, 2011 - 4:04pm Carole Mcmanus

    Just don't like the women! She is a complete PHONY!!!!! Give me Brad anyday!LOL...

    Wow, what a bunch of insecure bickering biddies in here, Like any of you know anything about either actress, You all just believe whatever your read, and then cut each other down over your " Knowledge" Why would anyone hate either Angleina Jolie or Jenifer Anniston. Unless your comfortable making judgement without any actual facts.

    I distinctly remember an Entertainment Tonight interview in 2002, the same season "Rachel" was pregnant on Friends. Jen Aniston was asked point blank about having kids with Brad Pitt. She made it perfectly clear that she was NOT ready and had no intention of getting pregnant any time soon. That's how ready she has always been to have a baby. I'm not saying that everyone should have kids. She may not want or ever be ready to have kids. That's ok. She just needs to stop hinting that she wants to have kids when it's so obvious she doesn't. As for the chair throwing incident, if it had been Angie, the haters would have ripped her apart. You see, Angie haters live in some huge glass houses.

    Hey Diane, your in the wrong thread. This has nothing to do with Brad or the his baby mama. This thread is about Jen. You writing a book on just your opinion. There are tons of threads on Angie to post to. I love the way you Angie fans must talk about Jen. You guys are obsessed with Jen, and it is you that are very mis informed. Read some of Brads interviews, especially one from CQ, where Mr Pitt states very firmly, it was HE that was not ready for children, and the story that Jen denied him children is bullsh*t. Get informed. Perhaps therapy might help you.

  • October 07, 2011 - 12:38pm Pamela Sisson

    Wow....I wasn't aware that ANY of you were personal witness to every single day of her life to know all of this! You don't know her, her life, her circumstances her TRUTH. So before you go accusing a STRANGER of this and that, mind your own business and tend to your own life. We ALL have issues, baggage etc. People in glass houses!

  • October 07, 2011 - 12:08pm Diane Lisi

    As far as I'm concerned, Brad should have annulled his marriage to Jen. She reneged on having children, which is grounds for annullment. Listen, anybody who refuses to speak to their mother for 10 years plus, holds a grudge, refuses to make up with her own mom, is not a nice person. Is not a loving, forgiving person with nurturing instincts.

  • October 07, 2011 - 12:04pm Diane Lisi

    Jacqui Fanning--totally agree with you. Women who love Jen Aniston are afraid of sexuality (all this girl next door business, Angelina as vixen). She lied to Brad--she promised to start a family after Friends ended--instead, she signed contracts that would keep her out of town making movies for the next 2 years. She never wanted kids and will never have one. She is a manufactured, insecure, needy, conceited phony. She comes to the rescue of a script supervisor because you can't treat people that way? I bet if any of you sycophants went up to her and tried to meet her, she'd blow you off. This new guy is using her--he's never had so much face time. Who ever heard of him before they hooked up? And all of you jen lovers, why don't you admit that she did to this guy's live-in girlfriend of 14 years (that's common law wife x 2, btw) what was done to her, so what makes her any better and besides, Brad wouldn't have left if he didn't want to go. Angelina did not put a spelll on him, she showed him a way of life that was much more his ideal. AND SHE BORE HIM 3 natural kids and they adopted 3 together. AND to Terra del Maro: she DID talk about Brad--she said he was missing a sensitivity chip and just her facial expressions on talk shows indicated to people what she was thinking and how she was such the victim. And then he made some comments recently about how HE was unfulfilled and suddenly, she demands an apology? Who is she, Mother Theresa? Give me a break. Shut up Jen and go away. I can smell the desperation on you from across the country. Go Angelina, you gorgeous, giving, altruistic, philanthropic, serious, wonderful, amazing, talented actress who makes movies of worth (and won an Oscar). Jen, hurry, your margarita is getting warm.
