Jennifer Aniston reveals "horrible" breakup story

**Honey** · May 14th, 2009, 10:24 PM

Jennifer Aniston's most famous split is from Brad Pitt -- but that's not the breakup she calls "horrible" in a new interview.
"I broke up with a guy and he tried to get back together with me by bringing his mother to a restaurant I worked at and getting down on one knee in the middle of the restaurant," Aniston, 40, tells USA Today while promoting her new flick, Management (out Friday).
"The whole restaurant started applauding and I was like, 'Get up!' It was horrible," Aniston laughs.
In her new romantic comedy with Steve Zahn, she plays Sue, a career woman who secretly dreams of quitting her job and opening a soup kitchen.
What would Aniston do if she wasn't acting?
"That's such a tough question. I would say, probably something in the health industry. It's too late to go to medical school," she says. "I'd travel. I'd go back to the years that I never did what I'd wish I'd done, which was travel Europe and backpack. That sounds slightly romantic."
After more thought, Aniston continues: "What I would do? I don't know. Maybe become a chef."

There would be perks of not being famous.
"Would I love a level of anonymity? Sure, there are times I'd love to take a moment. But that's lonely," Aniston says. "It seems like a lonely existence that [Sue] has made and convinced herself that it's comfortable.
"There's so much more to do. It's almost overwhelming," she says of her work. "I've gotten to a great place in my career. "
She's more selective of her roles now, though.
"It's so much of our time. It's all you're doing. You go home, go to bed, learn your lines, go to bed, wake up, go do the movie," Aniston muses.
"You've got to really love the project. I just left home after I built up my house for 2 1/2 years. I moved in for a month and now I'm here," she continues. "I don't want to do the same thing over and over. It's not about, 'Oh, it's going to be a big hit.' I don't want to do that."
But when she does get away, Aniston loves a trip to Mexico -- regardless of swine flu fears.
"I'd suffer through that that and put a mask on," she jokes.

Jenni's entire life is a 'horrible breakup story.'

sooo pathetic.

**Grimmlok** · May 14th, 2009, 10:49 PM

i'm telling you guys.. her whole career is based shitty relationships and how she's such a victim.

Does she ever shut up! Same shit, just worded differently over and over and over.

**sparkly** · May 14th, 2009, 10:55 PM

So she thinks that anonymity is lonely. I told y'all she's a famewhore!

**rockstar** · May 14th, 2009, 11:20 PM

Now I get why she took Mayer back. They are both tools, he's just more blatant with his approach and she more coy.

I'm going to make a totally square, dull post here (which is appropriate actually, see below) and just say, she sounds nice.

WTF-ever. I'm no fan, I hated "Friends" and I've never seen any of her movies except part of "He's Just Not That Into You" (for Drew! but actually, the movie kinda belonged to the other Jennifer, and Ginnifer, who were both amazing.) Anyway, though, Jennifer ANISTON sounds nice, and kind of boring, and it's beginning to seem just a bit desperate to continually throw the same old snark at her. There are such....richer and more fabulous targets out there. Not that I am really sure who that might be, apart from Lohan etc. and godDAMN I wish Britney would flip out again. It's TIME. Because I have had enough nice, dull Jennifer Aniston articles.

I have come to the conclusion that I cannot read any article about Jennifer Aniston anymore. I may continue to post them for shits and giggles to read the replies, but I just can't bear to read the article in question. I think it's bad for my health to read about this hag. It's like her pathetic factor wears off on me and my judgement becomes impaired. For example, today I burnt my tongue because the brief time it took to read about her seemed like eons, so I thought it'd no longer be hot by then. Bitch! For the record, I'm not some Angelina freak. I'm an equal opportunity hater in this triangle of fuckery.

Last two posts. Spot on.

"I'd travel. I'd go back to the years that I never did what I'd wish I'd done, which was travel Europe and backpack. That sounds slightly romantic."

so, she wants to have sex and is using the magic backpacking through Europe story?
