If CAA plays matchmaker for Jennifer Aniston, do they get 10% of her wedding gifts?

Jennifer Aniston -- the woman who launched a million haircuts -- needs a new man, according to Rush & Molloy. Her high-profile romance with singer-sheepdog John Mayer ended with Mayer publicly announcing that he did the dumping. Nice.
I guess that being on the wrong end of a break-up is not good press for a leading lady. The NY Daily News gossip hounds report:

"Meanwhile, whether she knew it or not, Aniston's agents at CAA were calling around L.A. asking available men if they'd be interested in taking the beauty out. One was our flabbergasted friend -- a tall, dark and handsome writer -- who said, "Of course!" Word is Jen has asked them to cool the matchmaking, for now."

The alleged backdoor setups by her agents are some sort of spin control to make Aniston seem desirable. The whole idea of fighting over who dumped whom is so high school. Then again, Aniston endured the most ballyhooed romantic rejection of all when she and Brad Pitt split and then he took up with Angelina Jolie. Pitt and Aniston announced their separation in January 2005. But did the break-up hinder her image as a leading lady? ("Derailed" and "Rumor Has It" were hardly hits, but "The Break-Up" -- hint, hint -- was a box office success.)

The whole issue begs the question: Does being dumped make you less desirable?

As long as Aniston gets some ink space in the tabs---hey her 'break-up' with Mayer was on CNN!!---any press is a good press. Sure she is pitiful, but if that's the way to get press, I'm sure she doesn't mind. Less pitiful Cox and Kudrow are no where to be found, aren't they.

Most everybody in Hollywood breaks up every other
day. Actually in real life they do to so I don't know why
it is such a big deal. Look at the headlines this week
on the rags. Do you really believe anything we hear?
I don't even believe the story up above. Yhe press
has gotten so out of control that we mostly just don't
pay any attention to it.

Aniston is the biggest fraud in HW. This untalented TV sitcom star only became what she is today because of her phony image created by her agency CAA, and of course thanks to Mr. Brad PItt.

She continues to be pathetic and annoying, she should just go into oblivion.

Jen has class, unlike the vampire Jolie who kisses even her brother. eeeewwwww.
As far as the dumping, any guy who wants to be known as the dumper is SOOOO HURT so he has to get even and save his reputation.
I dont think Jen even cares what he says. Why would Jen want to be married, she got millions. Im sure that what makes it so painful for John.

Why can't two single people date and then break off their
relationship. Isn't that what single people do....try out
several people before making a commitment to each other.
Besides, who cares who initiated the break up....why does
it have to be classified as "dumping". I personally think
Jennifer was way too good for Mayer.......could never
understand that relationship......but if it is over then it is
over. Can't believe all the media coverage of this.
And just for the record, Brad Pitt did not make Jennifer
popular or famous.....she did that on her own. If anything she put him on the front page!!

To those who say, Jen made Brad famous, how. Brad Pitt was a MOVIE STAR and the sexist man c alive cover person way before Jennifer Aniston came on the radar. He made Gwyneth Paltrow famous when she was his girlfried and then fiancee. Angelina Jolie was famous or infamous through her acting and antics. Jennifer on the other hand had an additional level of fame for her hairstyle than the other 5 actors on Friends. But her fame skyrocketed when she became BP's girl friend. Google their first public outing at an Emmy awards show where Jennifer wears a red dress. People are swirling around them because they were the 'IT' power couple. Then their starpower combined made them even more famous until their break up. Angelina had partners and husbands galore, but she did not become mega famous until the whole Brangelina thing. Common thread between the two women already famous, but made more famous because of an association with Brad Pitt. In Jennifer's case, every guy after Brad is fairly or unfairly compared to him. .

apparently jen was not too pleased with john mayer's timing re split-up; she would have preferred he broke up with her around the screening time of her new movie. that being the case, jen-jen won't give her side of the story until then.

I believe that John Stamos is the one for Jen for oh so many reasons and he wants children right away.

[James]

You are so right, calling Mayer's act high schoolish. He's such a douche bag.

I think Jennifer is gorgeous and has more class than Mayer has in fingernails.

Every celebrity is a phony. An agencys' job is to create an image/persona for actors. None of these celebs would have fans if we knew exactly who they really are.
This is why many don't use their birth names, that helps in creating a new persona e.g., your celebrity name is Paul Coventry, but your birth name is Ralph Parker. Which one sound authoritative and theatrical?.

The entertainment industry be it theatre or film or tv, is a fabrication, it's all based on selling a fantasy via a story to the public. It is afterall show business.

I don't know whether her lack of interest in getting into a serious relationship will hinder her leading lady status. Maybe she wants to achieve her success on her own terms and does not desire a family. Where's the sin in that?.

She strikes me as the type that goes to work, does her job, get's paid and enjoys her money. I don't think she takes acting too seriously, it's something she enjoys and it has given her the lifestyle she wants. That's what every working person in this world wants.

oh..oh here comes the brad pitt die-hards. may i excuse whether angelina is w/ brad pitt or not , she will gonna be famous , most especially inernationally. u also hv to think brad pitt is a more thn a decade older thn jolie. brad pitt is already a star when angelina started her way to stardomship. i will exclude her guest apearances in one of her father's movie as a child. before she (angie) and brad pitt got together her star is RISING. also no matter wht association u hv , if u don't hv great talents and versatility, ur name will just be adoration. ANGELINA is intelligent, bold,charismatic, fierce,daredevil, deep,expressive,beautiful and has all the star quality.besides i hv great amount of respect for wht she has done to the humanity . i greatly applaud her humilty and passion for human kind coming from a person who lived or surrounded by the world of shallowness, where people only cares who looks hot, beautiful and despised the unfortunate ones. the hollywood is full of plasticity,showmanship, backstabbing,jelousy,competition,self-centered and hatred tht also reflects to most of their fans are.i wish we hv more angelina jolie to make the world a better place. i don''t care wht happened in her past becoz other people has past , we all grow and moved on. maybe jolie's past made her become a better person tht she is now. nobody shld jugde anybody unless u forgot or by-passed your own closet. anyway, i heard of brad and jennifer but they never interest me nor i care to know who they are. the way i see them (jen/brad) was just too goodlooking "IT" couple but never waste my time to investigate who they are . like i said" they were just an "IT" couple in a SHALLOW world admired mostly by shallow people too. this where i come to admire angelina thru her passion, intelligence,motivation,darevil acts,humilty, unwithering kindness,sincerity,deepness,boldness and a series of achievements as an award winning actress,pilot,biker,humanitarian,nurturing mother loving partner,where the other stars can match her up. she is the one and only angelina jolie ,her star keeps rising way up there,unstoppable besides she a great actress.i like tht she and brad had the same views about humanity.

If Aniston wants only to enjoy her job/money and not care for having a family, that's fine. And that also means that she is falsely selling "I want babies" image to the public, which makes her a PHONY. When her ex-husband got tired of the falseness of her existence, her ego got hurt so she went on a campaign to attack him and his true love. What a bitch.

Totally agree on the John Stamos comment! I have thought for awhile that they would be perfect for each other! Both are Greek, have endured difficult divorces, look great, and seem to want to be married again!
