Rupert Everett: Jennifer Aniston's Many 'Flops' Overlooked By Hollywood Club
Posted on Dec 29, 2010 @ 09:05AM
Ouch.
Jennifer Aniston's successful career is the result of Hollywood hype -- not entertaining, moneymaking movies -- actor Rupert Everett told the BBC Wednesday.
Everett, 51, said that "if you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by [show] business.
"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," the outspoken My Best Friend's Wedding star said.

Everett used Aniston to illustrate his example of the show biz establishment turning a blind eye to lousy movies and sagging box office receipts, setting her up for more big roles, and the paydays that come along with them.

"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 said. "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."

To continue...Red Jam...just because a movie makes $ doesn't mean its good vs. other movies. I would rather watch something w/ more substance than a low budget rom-com, just as I'd rather watch someone who doesn't do the same role over & over.

Red Jam, just because my opinion is different than urs does not make me a hater. The fact is all of Aniston's recent movies have been low budget, and compared to other actress like Angelina Jolie her salary is significantly lower. That says it all.

Her movies make budget on the domestic market so haters can say what they like but I sure believe she is
great in her movies she is not a flop as you people are made to believe.

I did like her in Derailed & Rock Star, but most of her career has been idiot comedies. Spending 10 YEARS on a stupid comedy series, despite its popularity, is not the way 2 establish urself as a serious actress. She took the easy route.

TigerLilyCo, I'm not sure if I'd consider Hollywood Royalty to be an actress who has a father whose main acting credentials is a soap opera, even if her Godfather is Telly Savalas. I myself can't understand why people even remember her name.

The reason she survives despite lousy acting skills and box office flops, she comes from hollywood royalty. Her father John Aniston plays Victor Kiriakis on Days of Our Lives and her godfather was Telly Savalas.....that is why she keeps popping up!

Vad Santa...to continue....Don't even get me started on the under-rated Brad Pit who has won a Golden Globe & nominated for 2 Academy Awards. Did u ever see Kalifornia? That movie alone puts him far ahead of Aniston.

Vad Santa, r u kidding me! Angie has no range? She has won an Oscar, 3 (or 4) Golden Globe awards, 2 (or 3) Screen Actors Guild Awards, nominated for 2 Emmys, 2 more Golden Globes, and another Oscar. Compare that 2 Jennifer.

She's cute, she's funny, she's loyal and she respects others relationships.
Based on that alone, she is 100x the woman Angelina could ever hope to be.

Is that why Jen gets dumped by men? And childless at 40+? And has a face that looks like a man? Aniston is a pathetic loser!
