Jen's Caught in a Love Triangle
It seems some drama has surfaced during the production of Marley and Me. According to transworldnews.com, Jennifer Aniston may be the "other woman" in the relationship between co-star Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson. The two have reportedly become "close" on the set and Owen has been telling Kate all about Jen and how great she is. As an A-list celebrity, the spotlight is constantly shining on Aniston. She cannot escape the attention of the media. In addition, rumors are surfacing that Aniston is writing a book about the breakdown of her marriage to Brad Pitt. This will definately fuel the media and give many people what they want. There are constant speculations about the Pitt-Aniston relationship and a tell-all book would ease the uncertainty of so many fans. This example feeds into Gamson's comment about how celebrities use the public's desire for information for their own benefits. If she publishes a book, the sales would skyrocket and she'd be making a ton more money. It will be interesting to find out the reasoning behind her choice to write this book, if it's at all true.

The media is so consumed with the tiffs between Angelina and Jennifer like it isn't a completely normal reaction. They almost make it seem like Jennifer's reaction to Angelina, the woman who stole her husband, is at an extreme. I think if she were to write a book about her relationshit with Pitt, it would be a great read for her fans because she will become more "real" and "like us." Then again, the media could take the angle that she is in a pathetic state. Most "normal" peope don't write books about break ups.... they move on.
I'm surprised to hear of these rumors! Normally, the media chooses to portray Aniston as the friendly girl next door, not the other woman. In fact, if this proves to be true, it would certainly rock her "good girl" persona and I'm sure her fans everywhere would be very disappointed.
I feel bad for Jen and what she's been through in the past few years. The media had and is having a field day with her relationships and social life. With the guys want her, girls want to be her image, she successfully made her way into the hearts of Americans through the tv show "Friends", but has since gone through devastating divorce and forced to have her private life exposed to the masses. We are so obsessed with the personal lives of celebrities like Jen, but why? Probably because all of us can relate to Jen's condition- whether through divorce or a break up, American girls identify with her situation and track her "progress" and "recovery" after Brad kicked her to the curb. Although in a position above the general public, the mass media's depiction of a common life experience allows her to come to our level as common citizens who experience real pain and sadness. We can all relate, and therefore her life will remain in the spotlight because it sells.
I think that if Jennifer Aniston wrote a book about her marriage falling apart with Brad Pitt, she would be losing a lot of credibility. She is an actress and granted people are interested in her life, if she feeds this craving she will be only adding fuel to the fire. She will have willingly opened the doors to her private life. In the tabloids she is always portrayed as someone who likes her privacy...so why would she write a book about it? Its the machine...
