Jennifer Aniston's so-called romantic dalliance is under scrutiny
yet again, but for a different reason this time. According to a new
report, the 40-year-old rom-com flick star capitalizes on her "lonely
girl" image every time she has a film coming up by getting involved
with a man.
Jennifer previously said she doesn't mind people thinking of her as
a lonely, single girl. But this may be because she knows people are
going to root for her if she's seen with a new man, and this will be
beneficial to her career.
CNN's Showbiz Tonight is calling bluff on the former "Friends"
star's high profile flings in a 9-minute report. Correspondents claim
that Jennifer knows her movies will only sell if she gives the public a
glimpse of her love life.
Noting that her romances have curious perfect timing, Showbiz
Tonight claims her "headline-seeking antics are so common that it's
almost like she has a Jennifer Aniston pre-movie checklist."
First on the checklist is to date a famous guy right before her film comes out.
She hooked up with Vince Vaughn for the "Break-Up" and now she's also hooking up with "The Bounty Hunter" co-star Gerard Butler.
But it doesn't always have to be a co-star. Her relationship with
on-again-off-again boyfriend John Mayer happened to be on-again just
before she released "He's Just Not That Into You."
Step two on the checklist is to pose for racy magazine photoshoots.
Last year, she wore nothing but a tie on her GQ magazine cover when
she was promoting "Marley & Me." A recent report also said that she
has posed with Butler for a "practically naked" W magazine spread that
would leave readers breathless. The photoshoot is said to be so sexy
that some of the pics would not get published.
The third and final in the list is to dish about ex-husband Brad Pitt.
She hasn't done that yet with her latest film, but it's expected
that she will. When she appeared in "Oprah" and in Vogue last year for
"Marley & Me," she spoke a little about her split with Brad called
Angelina Jolie "uncool."
The correspondents also called Jennifer "smart" for pulling such
stunts in front of the public eye since she's aware that she will be on
the spotlight as long as the media sees her as an aggrieved woman
finding love once again.
For someone who wants the media to cease scrutinizing her personal
life, Jennifer seems to be enjoying her time on tabloid's front pages.
Come to think of it, they may have a point. Her "Management" flick
wasn't exactly a box office hit when it opened in May. Aside from
having a limited theatrical release, Jennifer wasn't seen romantically
involved with co-star Steve Zahn outside the film's shoot.
