Aniston On ‘Oprah’ 2: The Uncooling

At last, after having nothing but a meager pile of magazine clippings and hearsay to rely upon throughout this entire ordeal, we have Jennifer Aniston in the flesh to set us straight on what Angelina Jolie’s adoptive people have already dubbed L’affair uncool. On trusted confidante (who doesn’t mind spilling your private business on America’s TVs for her own ratings gain) Oprah Winfrey’s show today, the host hoisted a Post-It-littered Vogue bearing the five words heard round the world. It was a coverline so powerful, it managed to push Obama off the front page of the NY Times, who instead ran a 30-pt headline that read, “Amid a Climate Hope, Tensions Between Warring Starlets Flare.” In her trademark stammer, the former Friends star it admits she indeed said, “What Angelina did was very uncool,” but it was just one of many responses she answered “as honestly as I could. I don’t go there. I mean, it’s 100 years old, for Christ’s sake.” If ever we wanted a girl to go, it was Aniston, at that moment. [Oprah]
