Unless you live under a rock or um, very large snail shell - you probably know that Jennifer Aniston bashed Sex and the City in December’s issue of Vogue Magazine bashed. And this is interesting! Because first you might think ‘geez, that takes balls’ - but then again, can’t she have an opinion? Not everyone can love everything. And I think it’s very possible that Aniston didn’t like the Carrie/Big cheating story arc (and the fact that they then ended up together) which mimics her real life a little too much. Basically, Aniston is free to like or dislike the show and/or movie. I happened to love the show and then greatly disliked the movie. But let us speak of more fun things…
If we could hear the SATC girls in this picture, after hearing what Aniston had to say…it might go something like this:
Kristin Davis: “Oh, it’s just so horrible for Jen - about Brad and Angelina.”
Kim Cattrall: “Kristen, it happened freaking eons ago, and Jennifer doesn’t want to be seen as a victim so don’t go on some sort of rant about this where you…”
Davis: “She’s not a victim, I just feel badly for her! I’m an empathic person, you never understood that. You never understood me! You never wanted to.”
Sarah Jessica Parker: “Kristin, maybe you should save this rerun rant for our group therapy okay? Now listen, I do feel bad for Jen too, but it was rude to insult our show in Vogue. It was a cheap shot. I’m angry about this. And hurt. Deeply hurt. I’m deeply angry and deeply hurt. And I don’t know why I’m standing like this but I’m afraid to move and risk falling over.”
Cattrall: “Don’t cry Sarah, you’re wearing a lot of eye makeup. Now, if I stand like this, do I appear slimmer?”
Cynthia Nixon: “Okay - I have to speak up now. For God sakes Kim, why did you let them dress you like The Great Pumpkin, with ruffles and all?”
Cattrall: “Sorry, we can’t all dress like we’re at a funeral Ms. Black Dress of Supreme Importance.”
Parker: “Can we not fight here? We said we weren’t going to fight.”
Davis: “Yea, besides, it’s Jennifer Aniston that’s the enemy!”
Parker: “I thought you were on her side?”
Davis:“I changed my mind because I remembered I wanted her part in Marley & Me. She stole it. Then again, Angelina Jolie stole her husband so I guess I can’t blame her for acting out like this…”
Nixon: “Why would you want to work with Owen Wilson and a dog, anyway?”
Davis: “I’ve already sunk low enough to work with Tim Allen inThe Shaggy Dog. Do you not watch any of the movies I do?!”
Cattrall: “Oh please. Like ANY of you watched Ice Princess?”
Parker: “…I think I will do a movie with Jennifer Aniston to force her to like me. I’m charming and lovely, she can’t resist. Once I befriend her I will have to give her some style tips, and then she will learn to be healed through my powers.”
Davis: “Oh, then let’s ask her to join us in our power yoga classes, and to cameo in our next Sex and the City movie!”
Parker/Nixon/Cattrall in unison: “We’re not doing another movie!”

I happen to have the December ‘08 issue of Vogue in front of me. What is interesting is that Aniston just completed a movie called He’s Just Not That into You which is (follow me here) based on a book which was actually based on a quote from a Sex and the City episode. Apparently Aniston has ‘complicated’ feelings about the movie. Which might translate to ’she’ll see how it’s received by the public before pulling a Katherine Heigl (see: Knocked Up - but don’t actually SEE it) and saying she hated the movie’. She surprisingly said ‘You did?’ when Vogue writer Jonathan Van Meter told her that he enjoyed He’s Just Not That into You.
It appears she liked her sole part of the movie, but nothing else. She told Vogue, “I liked my story line, but…I don’t know. I don’t…like…girls…whining…and complaining…about…wanting a man! I never liked Sex and the City, the kind of thing where women only feel empowered once they find the Man. It’s just not up my alley. I don’t believe in it. There is nothing you can control about love.”
Well, while, like I said, I didn’t like the SATC movie (which did stray from the core mission statement of the TV show) - the show itself was not about girls whining and thinking they must have a man. It just wasn’t. To generalize all of those seasons and an entire phenomenon as a show about girls whining is majorly ridiculous. Not everyone is a fan of Sex and the City, sure. They don’t have to be. It just seems odd to dislike the show for reasons that aren’t even true.
And if Aniston really hates this type of stuff, then what was she doing on Friends, making like, a million bucks an episode to be Rachel Green who often did whine about love (Ross). Was that only okay because the show didn’t focus only on just female leads? Ugh. I don’t even want to get into any of that.
– Tangent about Angelina Jolie — While I know that Brad Pitt broke up with Aniston for Angelina Jolie I guess I never realized how it exactly happened - and to be honest, didn’t care that much. But, right in print here, I can see that Pitt and Jolie were cheating together and that these times of their ‘first love’ have been documented by Jolie, herself - which is unbelievably tacky. I mean, am I wrong or do you just NOT need to talk about how great it was when you met your husband while you snuck around behind his wife’s back - in a national publication?! Tell your friends, but leave it out of Vogue, Jolie.
