I wondered why Us Weekly was running a nothingburger ?exclusive? about Jennifer Aniston, but then I remembered that she?s in the midst of an Emmy campaign. She wants another Emmy this year, this time for The Morning Show. She already won the SAG Award this year (it feels like a lifetime ago). So what does Aniston?s lockdown Emmy campaign look like? Well, we probably could have predicted it! Recently, Aniston took part in the Hollywood Reporter?s actress-roundtable and she waxed rhapsodic about how the deadly, life-altering pandemic has been ?divine? and a ?blessing? and ?extremely unifying and oddly beautiful.? Tone-deaf, thy name is Aniston. As it turns out, Aniston has had a ?good lockdown? because she?s been writing and focusing on work:
Tapping into a new side. Jennifer Aniston has been productive amid the coronavirus pandemic, spending time working on her own projects, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
?Jen has been writing a ton and focusing on writing film scripts while in quarantine,? the insider shares. ?She?s a homebody, so this time has been nice for her and she?s been very creative.?
The actress, 51, has ?dabbled in personal writing in the past but now the timing?s right for her to do it her own way,? a second source noted.
She?s also focused on season 2 of Apple TV+?s The Morning Show, which has yet to resume filming since being on hold due to the pandemic. Aniston both stars and produces the Golden Globe-nominated show alongside Reese Witherspoon.
?Jen?s signed over as much as six months per year of her time to The Morning Show for as long as it runs,? the first insider notes. ?Everything?s moved a lot faster and more smoothly than the first season.? Season 2 will also include a reflection of what?s going on in today?s world with the Black Lives Matter movement and the COVID-19 outbreak, showrunner Kerry Ehrin recently shared.

See? A nothingburger story which basically just reminds people that Aniston is in The Morning Show and she wants an Emmy and look, she?s creative too, Angelina!! As for the screenplays she?s working on? it reminds me of when Aniston got it into her head that she was a singer and that she should be up for roles in musicals and she went on The Ellen Show and she ?sang? and she just kept going on and on. She eventually dropped it. That?s what will happen here she?ll do lots of interviews about how she?s writing screenplays now and if only they could get produced, hint hint. And people will just ignore her.

I?m not really a fan of celebrities ?quietly donating? or ?secretly donating? money to charity. I?ve spoken about this many times one of the best ways any celebrity can use their fame and their fandom is to openly raise awareness about various charities and use their platform to encourage others to donate. Most celebrities get this, and that?s why they?ll post information on their social media about where they?re donating or how their fans can donate. Well, Jennifer Aniston has never really been like that we know she works with St. Jude?s and some other charities, but she?s rarely announced her charitable donations. Last week, Jennifer posted something on her Instagram about Black Lives Matter and a Colors of Change petition. As it turns out, Aniston then quietly confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she also donated:
Jennifer Aniston is backing up her commitment to the fight against racial injustice with a sizable donation. The Morning Show actress who has been very open in her support with the recent protests against police brutality and racial injustice is using her money to help the cause.
A source tells ET that Aniston has quietly donated large sums of money to several charities, including Colors Of Change, to the tune of nearly $1 million. According to the source, the actress spread out her charitable donations to several worthy organizations dedicated to the battle against systemic racism and discrimination.
[From ET]
Good for her. I would have assumed that this would be the kind of hot topic Aniston would generally avoid, but it?s a whole new Aniston lately. She?s on Instagram, she?s talking about Black Lives Mattering and she?s quietly putting money where her mouth is. I would love to know which other organizations or charities got Aniston?s money. But the thought occurred to me that maybe Aniston is doing this lowkey because she wisely doesn?t want to become the face of anything. Just an ally from a distance, donating money and showing support. It?s not the worst move.
In addition to doing that Blackout thing a week ago (where she actually wrote Black Lives Matter), Aniston posted this clip of James Baldwin:
View this post on Instagram
This week has been heartbreaking for so many reasons. We need to acknowledge that the racism and brutality in this country has been going on for a long time and it?s NEVER been okay. As allies, who want equality and peace, it?s our responsibility to make noise, to demand justice, to educate ourselves on these issues, and more than anything, to spread love. How much more time are we willing to let pass without change? HOW MUCH MORE TIME? ? ? Text FLOYD to 55156 and sign the @colorofchange petition to have all four of the officers who killed #GeorgeFloyd arrested.

Just like at the Golden Globes, it was all about the reunion of Brad & Jen, aka Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, the couple who has been divorced for fifteen years. The bulk of those fifteen years, Brad was with Angelina Jolie, until it all went to hell in an alcoholic blaze in 2016. Brad Pitt did something to his son Maddox and it was bad enough that Angelina ghosted with the kids, and Brad went into some kind of rehab program. They?re still not divorced. I wondered if there would be any reference to Angelina or the kids during Brad?s Oscar campaign, and last night there was. Someone gave Brad some ?jokes? to tell if and when he won. These are the jokes:
?I?m gonna add this to my Tindr profile? and ?Quentin has separated more women from their shoes than the TSA? and then this: ?Let?s be honest, it wasn?t a difficult part, a guy who gets high, takes his shirt off and doesn?t get on with his wife?it was a big stretch.? Brad?s OUATIH character most likely killed his wife. Brad Pitt attacked his family so badly that Angelina hasn?t wanted anything to do with him since. But now it?s a laugh line at an awards show? I mean
Meanwhile, Jennifer wore this (bridal?) Dior gown which? was fine. I was surprised she didn?t wear black, but it worked out perfectly Jennifer won a SAG for The Morning Show, and then she and Brad reunited backstage (after he stopped to watch her speech backstage) and the whole photoshoot looks very wedding-y. CAA must be so pleased!

I have not subscribed to Apple+ and I don?t plan to. So I will not be watching The Morning Show. I?ve read some reviews which make it sound pretty good, or at the very least, very watchable. Most of the advance press about the show was about how the series had to be completely rewritten and reworked as #MeToo exploded and they wanted everything to be more about that. Reese Witherspoon has been more involved with Time?s Up than Jennifer Aniston, and Reese has been able to talk about those issues with more clarity? but even then, Reese still tends to talk around a lot of the nitty-gritty stuff. Which becomes clear as soon as a journalist presses her to talk about something more than vague rah-rah-feminism. Enter the Guardian Reese and Jennifer sat down together for a joint interview and the result was fascinating. Reese managed to avoid the harder questions while Jennifer mostly avoided saying much of anything. Some highlights:
Jennifer on how #MeToo isn?t just about rape & assault, it?s about power imbalance: ?There?s this absolute denial ? ?It was consensual, it was consensual? ? if you?re a narcissist to the degree a lot of these guys are. They think, of course every woman wants to sleep with me.?
Reese on the show not being an ?echo chamber?: ?This is not an echo chamber of women talking about #MeToo. It?s actually a very gender-balanced conversation because we need men watching the show. Real change doesn?t happen unless the incumbent power structure accepts it.?
Reese on being a #MeToo victim: ?I wish I could tell you that was an isolated incident in my career but, sadly, it wasn?t. I?ve had multiple experiences of harassment and sexual assault,? she said. She felt, she added, ?guilt for not speaking up earlier?. So does she wish she could have spoken out sooner? The temperature in the room drops palpably. ?Ummm no. It was a culture of silence and silence was a condition of my employment. That?s what I was told.?
On Harvey Weinstein: ?I was never alone in a room with him,? says Aniston. ?I was never alone with him either. But I didn?t know why,? adds Witherspoon. ?Me neither. But always someone would stand in the room,? Aniston echoes.
Jennifer on Instagram: ?I find it very odd. I don?t understand it ? it doesn?t make sense to me. I?d love for someone to break it down, but there it is and now it has to keep going.? She admits she joined Instagram mainly to promote the show. ?But also, I think I had this idea ? I don?t want to be the only person ? Let?s see, what do I want to say here? I thought, ?Why would I do this? People are already in my panty drawers all the time.? And I want them out of my panty drawers. But now I can decide which pair to show them.?
[From The Guardian]
Regarding Reese and the icy chill in the room when the Guardian journalist asked if Reese wishes she could speak out sooner? I think it depends on how the Guardian journalist (a woman) phrased the question. It feels like perhaps Reese felt like she was being blamed for not speaking up BEFORE Me Too made it possible. Which? again, don?t blame women for the actions of men. That being said, Reese and her connection to CAA an agency which seemed to actively procure women for Harvey Weinstein throws everything into question for me. Im also really tired of the undercurrent from Reese about how men desperately need to be included in all of these conversations. It bugs.
I agree with Jennifer about the narcissism of predators and extending the conversation to power imbalance even within ?consensual? relationships.

Here are some photos from last night?s New York premiere of The Morning Show, the Apple+ show about, you got it, a morning show. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were in New York all day doing press on Monday, and it?s clear that Apple really wants these two women to be the ?faces? of the Apple+ launch (which happens on Friday). Entertainment journalists have already gotten to see the first few episodes and the reviews are good-to-mixed. Something that?s been bugging me which a few critics have pointed out already is that Aniston?s morning show anchor is supposed to be the aging diva and Reese is supposed to be the younger upstart, All About Eve-style. But in real life and on camera, it?s clear that the age difference is negligible (about seven years). Which makes me wonder if the show is actually sort of miscast.
Anyway, the premiere. Jennifer wore a black James Galanos gown in a different kind of high-neckline style than we?re used to seeing from her. She looks refreshed, but not obviously so. Whatever she?s getting done and it is something it?s good, expensive work. Reese is wearing Celine by Hedi Slimane. We?ve seen her in different versions of that dress for decades. I?m including bonus pics of Mark Duplass (who is in the show) and Wendy Williams.
Reese and Jennifer stopped by Good Morning America and they tried their hand at ?news reading? and they weregood?

| | Jennifer Aniston does 'intermittent fasting?: 'I noticed a big difference' | | Added 4 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last year, we talked about intermittent fasting like it was the trendy new diet, which is what Chris Pratt made it sound like in December 2018. Intermittent fasting has been around for a long time, and it has roots in nearly every religion. But in 2018-19, fasting is being divorced from religion and being rebranded as a cool, interesting way to lose weight. Or something. The idea behind intermittent fasting is that you only allow yourself to eat solid food for a certain portion of the day, like a six-hour or eight-hour window, and then you ?fast? (or only drink liquids) the other 16 or 18 hours of the day. Well, fasting is getting a new celebrity face: Jennifer Aniston is a fan.
Add Jennifer Aniston to the growing list of celebs who love intermittent fasting. The 50-year-old actress said she?s had major success on the eating plan, which requires fasting for 16 hours a day and eating only during an eight-hour period.
?I do intermittent fasting, so there?s no food in the morning,? she told U.K. outlet Radio Times. ?I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.?
Instead, Aniston ? a late riser who gets up around 9 a.m. each day ? sticks to just liquids in the mornings, like green juices and coffee. ?Today, I woke up and had a celery juice,? she said. ?Then I started to brew some coffee, but I don?t drink coffee that early.?
Before sitting down with her cup of joe, Aniston said she meditated, worked out and fed her dogs. Her Morning Show costar Reese Witherspoon, on the other hand, is up with the sun because of her 7-year-old son Tennessee, who wakes her up at 5:30 or 6 a.m. But she, like Aniston, prefers a liquid breakfast.
?I just have a green juice and a coffee in the morning,? Witherspoon, 43, said. The mom of three also forces herself to start exercising in the morning. ?I find it really hard to work out before 7:30 a.m. But that?s the time I start one; 7:30 a.m.,? Witherspoon said. ?I probably do that six days a week.?
[From People]
I?ve never been a breakfast person, and I only do a big morning meal if it?s brunch and there?s bacon involved. At this point in my life, I do force myself to eat something in the morning (yogurt and a banana) just because I know that A) I?ll be starving by lunchtime if I don?t eat something early, and B) I legitimately feel like that?s a healthier way to start my day. Several years back, commenters recommended starting my day, first thing, with a glass of water, so now I try to do that too (I drink about half a glass most mornings). My point is? I could probably not eat anything in the mornings, and I could probably stick to eating in an eight-hour window, but I would end up eating too much in that window of time. As for Jennifer? I wonder if she still does some version of the Zone diet too. She was so big on that?

Jennifer Aniston has a new profile in the New York Times this week. She?s promoting her Apple+ streaming series The Morning Show. The NYT describes her character as an Ann Curry-type, but? I think that?s kind of off-base, at least judging from the first trailer. I would say that it seems like Aniston is playing a Katie Couric-type perky & personable morning show anchor whose sunny optimism has become much more stagnant and jaded over time. Think, Katie Couric if she had stayed at the Today Show for all of Matt Lauer?s bullst. Anyway, this NYT piece wasn?t all that if you ask me, her InStyle cover interview was much more interesting and thorough. Some highlights:
Jennifer & her friends really do literal goddess circles: The women landed safely, switched planes and, the next night, gathered for a ritual they?ve been doing for three decades: a goddess circle. Seated on cushions, cross-legged on the living room floor, they passed around a beechwood talking stick decorated with feathers and charms, much as they had done for every major event of their lives. They had circled before Aniston?s weddings to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. They circled when babies were born, and when Aniston and Theroux had to put down their dog, Dolly.
On turning 50 this year: ?It?s so weird. There?s so much doom around that number? I?m entering into what I feel is one of the most creatively fulfilling periods of my life. Seriously, I?ve been doing this for 30 years and I feel like it?s just about to really bloom.?
What her ?Morning Show? character is about: ?Children, guilt, power struggle, being a woman in the industry, going through a divorce, publicly going through a divorce, feeling alienated, being just a little bit of a screw-up.?
Whether she has a #MeToo story: Aniston says she does not, though she has certainly experienced her share of sexism in 30 years in the business. ?Agents. Studios. Finding out what this actor made versus that actor made.?
On being well-known but never really, truly known: ?There?s a similarity to my life. I relate in ways of feeling like, when you don?t want to be seen, and you don?t want to go out of the house, and you want to just scream, and you don?t want to walk on a red carpet. I don?t want to stand behind a podium, I don?t want to have my photograph taken, I want to just cry today. You know??
Whether she could have played this character years ago: ?No. I didn?t have the experience. It?s taken time for me to get where I am and I put a lot of work into my craft. I?ve failed. I?ve succeeded. I?ve overcome. I?ve, you know, I?ve stayed around. I?m still here.?
[From The NY Times]
While I am not tempted (whatsoever) to subscribe to Apple+, I think The Morning Show will be very successful, and I?m sure Jennifer will probably get nominated for awards and probably even win awards. Part of that will be about the work itself, part of it will be the prestige and money Apple puts behind the show, and part of it will be just Hollywood reaffirming to Jennifer that they?ll always see her as a TV actor. There?s nothing wrong with being a TV actor. But she ran away from that for years, and now she?s back in people?s homes again. And she?ll be rewarded for it. As for the literal goddess circles I always thought it was a figure of speech, like she was just talking about hanging out with her girlfriends. I really didnt know that they did true goddess circles for prayers and a talking stick and everything. Whoa.
