SubscribeJennifer Aniston and John Mayer's European vacation
Where's Jennifer Aniston, now that John Mayer is on tour in Europe?
Funny you asked.
Our spies say Aniston arrived in Amsterdam this week and stayed in the Grand Hotel. Mayer arrived Sunday in Amsterdam for a concert and stayed in the Amstel hotel. But, a-hah! Mayer was spotted leaving the Grand Hotel early this morning –- and we know what that means. Yes, the Walk of Shame!
The loved-up couple has now headed to London, where John is scheduled to perform, ending with a concert at London's Brixton Academy on Friday. And then? Who knows? We're betting they make some alone-time plans and disappear for a while.
While Jennifer was in Amsterdam, she appeared with Owen Wilson and their "Marley & Me" director (and five dogs) for a press conference today in RAI conference center in Amsterdam during the 2008 Cinema Expo.
But here's the best part: Journalists were told that all questions were to be about the film. Which is tricky, because no one has even seen the movie. Presumably some may have read the book the film is based on.
No personal questions were permitted. Journalists were told to write down any questions they wanted answered by Aniston and Wilson. Then a moderator with a microphone would ask the questions.
Oh, c'mon. Are these heads of state? Are they protecting state secrets? They're actors, fer crying out loud. It's not like anyone was gonna ask about Owen's alleged suicide attempt, about his pal Lance Armstrong dating ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson, or about Jen's new sizzling-hot relationship with musician John Mayer.
Anyway, here's a trailer for "Marley & Me" -- pretty exciting, huh? I think Jennifer and Owen are gonna have to start talking about their personal lives to spice up this (yawn) movie promo campaign.

You are kidding right? You honestly don't think they would have asked Owen about his personal troubles or Jennifer about her new bf that's not Brad Pitt? The media has been chomping at the bit to ask invasive "none of your business" questions to Owen. And we ALL know how the media loves to make Jennifer into this bitter unhappy old spinster after her divorce from Brad Pitt.
The media has lost credibility YEARS ago in all types of press conferences and have shown many times over they can't be trusted not to ask sensitive questions. I don't blame those in charge for not allowing the media the chance to get "the scoop" everybody wants.

Mayer and Aniston are ACTING for the attention. Jen is friends with STING.

Well, what was the conference about; the movie? Is it so hard for journalist to stick to the plan?
Did you read the book before posting judgment? It's an extremely good book.

It looks like a great Movie to me but I'm an Animal Lover and I've read the book. If this was brangelina the Media would be more Polite.
Take the High Road J.A & Owen Wilson, Don't talk about your personal life like Angelina Jolie does 24/7.

The book is good but they are killing it with a sorry excuse of an 'actress' who has only three expressions. Frown, frown and frown. Too bad. Didn't the author have no say in the casting. This is wrong. Cameron Diaz or Sandra Bullock would have been good.

Who does Jennifer think she is-Angelina Jolie? She is acting just like her but doesn't have the talent or career to get away with it. The woman can't act!! I can't understand what John Mayer or Brad Pitt for that matter, saw in her, she seems shallow, superficial, and BORING to me!

and? who cares? Jennifer is a nice girl I am sure but boring, the guys she associates with are all losers including Brad Pitt. Get a real man Jenifer. Oops, there are none in Hollywood.

I have an 18 year old son who looks EXACTLY like John Mayer. It's almost frightening to see.
I personally think Jen looks great with this guy.
So glad she dumped the last two clowns she was dating. Who knows, this one might actually stick around long enough to make her happy.

Sounds to me like the author of this article is angry she didn't get to ask those personal juicy questions about the actors' personal lives. Yes, they were there to promote the movie, not discuss their relationships etc. Even I could come up with a few good questions about the movie after seeing trailers and read storylines, and I am not even a reporter.

I wonder if Jen went to Dampkring where her ex Brad Pitt filmed Oceans 12 ? Word is she likes her weed, nothing wrong with that lots of GREAT Coffeeshops in Amsterdam go for it Jen. Take a try of some Super Silver Haze it will knock your socks off.

Handy how you get to pick what comments make the cut. short of stalking people whose lives are more interesting what exactly do journalists do for a living. god forbid they would actually have to READ A BOOK in preparation for an interview. Marley and me is a brilliant book and no doubt will make an excellent film as anyone who has "bothered" to read it will realise. as for the media not being allowed to ask questions about their personal lives surely that is to media advantage and gives them greater room to fabricate as they usually do anyway!
