Apparently, only Tanya and I and a select few others were interested in seeing The Switch this past weekend.  Jen Aniston’s latest box office bomb only brought in $8.1 million.  While that is a lot of money to you and I, take into consideration that is probably only a fraction of what they paid each star to be in it.

Placing 8th, this movie was behind The Expendables (#1), Vampires Suck (#2), Eat Prey Love (3), Lottery Ticket (#4), The Other Guys (#5), Piranha 3D (#6), and The Return of Nanny McPhee (#7).

When I saw that it came in #8, I actually felt embarrased for Jen Aniston.  So much so that I needed to email Tanya to tell her:

Stacey:  Did you see how poorly The Switch did at the theatres. Ick.  I actually cringed and groaned.  Poor Jen.

Tanya: I DID!! It got beat by Piranha 3D! How terrible is that? AND I think it even looks like a decent movie.

Stacey: As much as Lainey says it and it makes me roll my eyes…good taste is dead.

Tanya: But on the other side, the Switch is the same as like a million other movies out there.

Stacey:  That’s true.  I guess I just figured it is better than Piranha 3D.  But anything 3D right now is a money maker.  Maybe if they would have done The Switch 3D it would have made some money.

Tanya: I think Piranha 3D is a bunch of hot chicks in bikinis motorboating each other and then some 3d piranha attacks which might not fall under “good taste” but does fall under “awesome”.

Touche, Tanya, touche.  And as we have proven before, chicks motorboating each other is awesome.

Her words, not mine.

“Yes, I play dress up! I do it for a living, like a retard!”

Stacey: I don’t understand how that would make her a “retard”.  I am not sure if I am offended by this comment and her use of the word or confused by the fact that she doesn’t even really use it properly, even in a derogatory sense. 

Wow.  She is really pissing a lot of  people off right now.

I am going to go see this movie.  In fact, I am going to take my mom to see it because I think it actually looks really good.  Jason Bateman, Jen Aniston, Juliette Lewis, Patrick Wilson (yummy, BTW) and Jeff Goldblum, plus it is done by the same people who did Juno and Little Miss Sunshine…how could it not be awesome?  I saw the preview this weekend when I went to see Dinner for Schmucks and even my hubby admitted it looks “not bad” which is translation for “I wouldn’t hate seeing it”, which I consider to to be pretty good.

Here are some pics from the premier last night.  I am not even sure if Jon Heder is even in the movie but I thought I would include his picture because I totally love him.

Tanya: I totally want to see this movie. It looks super cute. Jason Bateman is awesome and that kid looks like he’s going to be pretty funny too.

Jen Aniston’s new movie The Switch is coming out soon, which is about a woman who hasn’t found her life partner yet, decides to get artificially inseminated as she wants to be a mom.  During an interview she had this to say:

“Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don’t have to settle with a man just to have that child. Times have changed and that is also what is amazing… that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents’ days when you can’t have children because you have waited too long.

The point of the movie is what is it that defines family? It isn’t necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot. Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere. That is what I love about this movie. It is saying it is not the traditional sort of stereotype of what we have been taught as a society of what family is.”

And Bill O’Reilly, a big right wing a-hole from Fox fired back with this:

“I want to be fair about this because there are millions of single mothers who do a great job with raising their kids. It’s possible, but it’s not optional. And that’s where Miss Aniston makes her mistake. She’s throwing a message out to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that, ‘Hey you don’t need a guy. You don’t need a dad,.’ That is destructive to our society.

Aniston can hire a battery of people to help her, but she cannot hire a dad. Okay. Dads bring a psychology to children that in this society is underemphasized. Men get hosed all the time.”

OMG.  Seriously?  Men get hosed?  All the time?  Where is he getting this from?  What does this even mean?  No where in what Jen is saying is she advocating for women to choose between getting pregnant on their own or having a father figure.  The point, I think, of what Jen is trying to say is that if finding a life partner hasn’t happened for someone that doesn’t have to stand in the way of having a child.  Children can be very happy and well adjusted with having only a mother, or only a father for that matter.  In fact, I know some people who would say there are better off NOT having their father in their lives when they were growing up.

Mom + Dad doesn’t always = instant happiness and I think that is what gets forgotten during these conversations/debates.  Sometimes Mom + Dad = volatile upbringing filled with arguments, abuse, and abandonment.  Family doesn’t always mean having to have both parents.  Do you know what IS destructive to society?  Putting out the message that only one way of experiencing family is acceptable, and that is what Bill is doing; teaching more intolerance and more hate.  When someone has love to give to a child, it shouldn’t matter whether or not they have a partner to share in those duties, only that they are able to care for them and give them the love they need.

Team Aniston all the way on this one.  O’Reilly needs to shut his big fat pie hole.

Tanya: Urgh. I think Bill O’Reilly is just trying to get some publicity with this and he is succeeding for being such a dolt. Of course it’s important for a kid to have a positive father figure in their lives, but if given the option of no dad and a super crappy dad (abusive, neglectful, etc) I’ll take no dad (same goes for mom, I’d rather be raised by a single dad than have a deadbeat mom). Is Bill saying that instead of older women going to the clinic to get pregnant because they didn’t find that right match in time that we are destined to live childless, partnerless lives? That’s pretty depressing. And that can lead to a lot of incredibly unhappy marriages (only getting married because you want a baby is not a good idea). And who is to say that you don’t meet the person of your dreams after you have the kid and then the kid gets the happy family anyway?

If you’re are single (man or woman) and you have the maturity and means to raise a child, why not? I know a lot of single parent homes that are much more loving and stable than some of the two parent homes out there.

In this months Harper’s Bazaar Jennifer Aniston is made up to look like Barbara Streisand in some of her memorable photos. I can see it in some, but Jennifer Anniston is too plain to be Babs in many of these photos and I think it’s because of the nose. If Jennifer Aniston still had her original nose I think it would have been a really striking photo shoot.

You can check out the full shoot herewhich has the Jennifer Aniston photos along with the original Barbara Streisand photos.

Stacey: Beautiful photos.  But I still can’t decide if I think Jen is “pretty”.  I mean, she is obviously attractive, but that’s mostly her amazing body.  Lets just take her face…is she pretty?  I think she is very “girl next door” pretty, which so many of us are, so that’s great.  I just don’t know.  Her face, on its own…you can see why Brad was so intrigued by Angelina.

Jennifer Aniston on how she keeps up her perfectly toned bod:

“It’s simple, run, work out every day. I do a lot of running — exercise is so important”  “Plus it’s all about balance. Work, exercise, diet, you need balance.”

So there you go: just run, lift weights, exercise and diet 7 days a week. Simple!

Sure you might not have a life anymore because the time you spent at work, cleaning the house, raising your children, seeing friends and anything else you used to do will now be filled with your new exercise regime, but at least you’ll be hot!

Stacey: Yes, when your entire job and means of making a living is looking good, its no problem.  For us regular people, its not quite that simple.  But thanks Jen.

Jennifer Aniston is automatically dating anyone she hugs, especially anyone she gives the ‘Aniston Half Hug’ to, so logically the only conclusion to draw here is that Jennifer Aniston is now dating Courtney Cox.

This makes sense though because obviously Gale Weathers would have eventually gotten sick of Dewey and move on. Too bad this means that Jennifer Aniston is going to end up either getting killed or being the killer and Sydney Prescott will have to try and find the connection between herself and Jennifer Aniston.

(Spoiler: The link is Jason Priestley who made “Preditors from Beyond Neptune” (1999) with Neve Campbell and “The Thin Pink Line” (1998) with Jennifer Aniston)

And for fun, here’s a gallery of Jennifer Aniston giving the ‘Aniston Half Hug’.

Update: I was totally joking about them being in Scream 4 together but Star Magazine is now reporting that Jennifer Aniston might be the open sequence victim. Called it! How fantastic would it be if Jason Priestley was the killer?

Update 2: Aniston’s rep says it’s “not true“.

Stacey: That would be awesome if she was in Scream!  She better be able to bring it though.  She would be following in the foot steps of Drew Berrymore, and Jada Pinkett Smith and those two rocked it.

As for the “half hug” you can tell she is very protective/possessive of people she is close with.  Its all in the body language.

For all the crap that Jennifer Aniston catches, she sure knows how to rock a bikini.

I think I have found my new inspiration for next time I am on the treadmill and cursing the heavens.

Must…look….good…in…pink…bikini!

PS.  Is it just me or has anyone else noticed how her nipples are always hard?  Like, in every Friends episode ever you could always see them.  I had just assumed it was because the set was cold.  Maybe not?

Tanya: Rock hard abs = rock hard nipples?

I don’t know who is paying off People Magazine but they’re “sneak peak” of People’s 2010 Most Beautiful People list is out and Channing Tatum is #2? THIS GUY?! Pift. Whatever.

Here’s the top 10:

1. Julia Roberts
2. Channing Tatum
3. Zoe Saldana
4. Scarlett Johansson
5. Jake Gyllenhaal
6. Jennifer Aniston
7. Sofia Vergara
8. Bradley Cooper
9. Katy Perry
10. Amanda Seyfried

Last year we agreed that the Most Beautiful People of 2009 was pretty good, but this year I don’t feel the same way. Maybe it’s because my coffee tasted like crap this morning, but I just don’t agree with the list. Jakey G and Zoe Saldana, yes. Perv stache Tatum & Julia Roberts no. Julia is pretty on the outside, but I think her bitchiness should bump her from the top 10. And fake tan line Cooper? I’m undecided. When he brings it he really brings it, but when he doesn’t he really doesn’t.

Stacey: What?  I am straight up objecting to this list.  Tanya, maybe we should do our own beautiful people list.  We talked about it last year…maybe this is our year?

Tanya: Yes we should. Start keeping notes of beautiful people and when the magazine with the full list comes out we’ll school it.

How many hours do you think Jenn spent in the yoga studio crafting those amazing gams?

This picture totally reminds me of that ZZ Top song:

She’s got legs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She only lets you wonder how to feel them
Would you get behind them if you could only find them

Anyways…I know we all like to rag on her for being predictable and manipulating the media and dating total and utter dillholes but this bitch is hot.

Screw getting married and having babies, Jenn should just stick to what she is good at; looking fiiiiine!

Tanya: Jen is totally hot. I wish I had the time to do yoga all day and get me a pair of those!
