Jennifer Aniston Reveals Biggest Misconception About Her

Actress Jennifer Aniston addressed the “most annoying misconception” about her life and relationships, insisting once and for all that there is no bad blood between her, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

“There are so many [misconceptions].  I would say the triangle with my ex-husband — and that there’s a feud there … It’s a story headline that won’t go away,” Aniston said in an interview in the March issue of Instyle Magazine. “It’s a … story that has nothing to do with reality.”

The public’s fascination with the actress’s love life hasn’t waned since her 2005 split from Brad Pitt; the tabloids have followed her every move as she bounced from relationship to relationship and her ex settled down with Jolie and started their globe-trotting family.

But don’t take pity on Aniston. The 43-year-old star has moved on with boyfriend Justin Theroux and says she’s in a “joyful” and “peaceful” place in her life, and is wiser when it comes to love.

“Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want,” she told In Style. “As I get older I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me. And what I won’t settle for.”

Aniston met Theroux, a 39-year-old actor and screenwriter, on the set of “Wanderlust,” their new flick about a couple who moves to a commune.

The couple has been dating since May and is reportedly ready to buy a new home in Los Angeles’s Bel-Air neighborhood for an estimated $22 million, according to the Wall Street Journal. Paparazzi have spotted the couple criss-crossing from coast to coast – house hunting, shopping and many times, sporting matching outfits.

Don’t call Aniston, who’s known for her fashion sense and sleek red carpet picks, a style copycat though. She insists she’s not imitating her man’s rocker vibe with the head-to-toe black, matching leather jackets and aviators.

“First of all, he has great style–it’s very specific, and it has been his style forever,” she said. “Has it influenced mine? No, but I know people say it has. ‘Oh, look, you’re dressing alike.’ And I think, No I’m not. I’ve had this jacket for three years!”

The new issue of In Style magazine hits on newsstands Feb. 10.

Then why is SHE bringing it up again-no one asked her she brought the whole thing up-she needs to quit this completely transparent guise that she hasn’t fueled the fires of this “feud” for 6 years and continues to do it in EVERY interview she gives and has her PR team and her barking dog Chelsea Handler still hard at work spreading that bull like peanut butter-and the fact that every word Brad or Angie say or emotion they show in public to each other “poor jen” has got her big fat nose and chin right in the middle of with some poor me comment-poser loser that buys magazine awards because after hundreds of crap films she can’t even get a nomination for an actual acting award-and the completely faked “sexiest of all time” just shows just how easy it is to make faux awards up and buy them-good revenue for the magazines but when they do this it just makes them look made up and fake-which is an award Anustain has actually earned-the biggest Hollywood gossip and most fake loser poser-yeah she gets that hands down

There is no reason this woman should be in the news at all, let alone every day. Her publicists are working over time but no amount of “news” will get her talent.

BTW, ABC…I am not submitting posts “too fast.” I submitted one post and got the preceeding error message. Great that your website is on the cutting edge of technology.

She keeps bringing this up because she is not news worthy but wants to keep her name in print CONSTANTLY.

Gotta agree w/ the earlier post on the “sexiest women of all time”. I’m a straight 30-something guy and when that list came out no guy I knew could understand why Jennifer Aniston’s name even came up. Now, I’m not saying she’s hideous or anything and there’s no accounting for what some find sexy since there’s a fetish for everything, but I just don’t know any straight guys who would have included her on the list at all, let alone anywhere near the top. Our consensus was that, in addition to her publicists’ dogged work to get her on that list, it doesn’t at all reflect what guys find sexy, but instead what women and gay men would like to promote that straight guys find sexy. At least, in all the impromptu “man, I’d like to **** her” conversations I’ve ever been in, pretty much everyone hot in Hollywood has been namechecked- Scarlett Johanson, Jessica Alba, Megan Fox, etc. etc. etc. (and yes, Angelina’s name comes up all the time)- but I have never heard anyone say anything about Jennifer Aniston. Nothing bad, she just isn’t mentioned. I’m not saying we’d all kick her out of bed, if she just showed up, but I am saying that she doesn’t have sex (i.e. lust) appeal. So, unless we want to take the sex out of sexy, the list just doesn’t make any sense at all. They might have gotten away with sneaking her name in at #78, but putting her at the top was a giveaway.

agreed, she is a spiteful loser. Got the PR people working their asses off for her. Wait until he writes a story, oops she had him sign a contract he’s not allowed to speak for ten years after the contract and after that nothing personal without a “major reprocusiion”.

Her major misconception is that she can act.
