As if Jennifer Aniston didn't have enough to cry about

Sad Rupert Everett isn't known for keeping his opinions to himself and this time poor, sad Jennifer is the target of his scorn. Us has this:

"Rupert Everett isn't a fan of The Bounty Hunter. Or The Switch. Or pretty much anything else Jennifer Aniston has starred in. During an interview with BBC Radio 4, the 51-year-old British actor claimed that no matter how poorly an actor performs at the box office, certain stars will always remain on Hollywood's A-list. "If you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by the business," Everett argued. "You'll find there's lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they'll stand with them for quite a long time." He then used the 41-year-old Just Go With It actress to further illustrate his point. "OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club," Everett continued. "And she will still manage to…like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula. I'm not sure that nebula was ever mentioned on Star Trek. And the only nebulas I've heard of are the ones mentioned on Star Trek." But Aniston isn't the only box office draw who Everett is frustrated with: He's got an issue with Oscar-nominated actor Colin Firth too! "Colin Firth I don't think was at all good in Mamma Mia! I would have thought it was almost a careericide," Everett sniped. "On the other hand, I think his performance in A Single Man was the best performance of his life."

Step away from Colin, Rupert. This will be your only warning.

it is rich to see an actor known for his best role as Prince Charming in the Shrek movies bitch about other actors, specifically Aniston - who has plenty of flops but also a lot of good roles...particularly earlier in her career.

Rupert welcome to my school of thought. In Jennifer's case you maybe right, her acting skills are more commensurate with rom com's and what is wrong with that? Your problem is that you are sexist.

Everyday executives move from one company to another, many of these companies have less than stellar scripts. Is that a problem? EVERY YEAR athletes move from one team to another, many of these teams are 'projects' in the making. The fans get pithy, the media writes terrible things and the owners take a beating for their decision.

Jennifer is no different than the executive or the athlete who moved on the 'easy money' train ride. Is there a problem? I like Jennifer, not only is she gorgeous but is sweet as well. Her friends like her, her fans like her, and I am sure her family likes her.

Unlike many of these stars today, Jennifer does not seek the limelight, does not get into trouble, does not make unusual headlines....she goes about and does her job.

Gets paid well, yes. Puts out good movies? She is not the screenwriter, producer or director. She is an actor.....and she is desirable because of her looks and her 'aura'. I like Jennifer she would be a great person to have as a friend I am sure.
