Last night at the Women in Film Awards in Hollywood, the former Friends star observed, “I have a strange parallel with movies I was doing and my life off-screen,” citing Derailed in a thinly veiled reference to her split with Brad Pitt.

“If anyone has a movie called Everlasting Love With an Adult Stable Man, that would be great!" Aniston cracked, drawing laughs from the crowd. “I'm at table six.” Presenting Aniston with an award, host Chelsea Handler praised her for increasing the visibility of women in film and decreasing the visibility of former Aniston flame John Mayer. “We thank you for that,” she said.

Yeah i'm sure if David Letterman stated that Jennifer looked like a slutty airline attendant on National Television she'd have a great attitude about it.

Jennifer Anniston needs to hire Chelsea Handler as her permanent straight man. Nothing says stability like a self-effacing poke. Except a Clive Owens' poke, of course. Reply
