Lisa Rinna's lips look like a deformed vagina *shudder* That woman needs to stop with the injects and NOW.

okay i stand corrected on Lisa Rinna...i missed her @ the show, but i saw a picture of Lisa Rinna from the Oscars and OMG :eek: now see..that is NOT what she looked like back on Melrose Place.

But you know another celebrity with a nice body and sexy full lips is Linda Hamilton! You might remember her from Terminator 2 or Beauty and the Beast (the tv series), or Dante's Peak, the volcano disaster movie w/ Pierce Brosnan.


I like both Angelina AND Jennifer. I think both seem to be extremely kind hearted and sweet woman. Both are talented in their art. Both have been awarded for their talent. So i've always been sort of ehhh about arguing who's better than who [eventhough I do think Angelina is prettier]. BUT, I don't ever recall Jennifer Aniston being considered a 'style icon'. She had a signature hairstyle that was huge in the 90's. I remember when I was young I went and asked for the Rachel cut LOL. But nothing that stands out as 'iconic' fashion wise. Sarah Jessica Parker, absolutely. She transformed the way people look at fashion. But not so much Jennifer Aniston.

I mentioned Jennifer's hairstyle too...it immediately drew comparison to Farrah Fawcett's "Feather" which sparked a trend in the 70's and it came BACK in the late 90's. I must admit though, I did not try to copy "The Rachel", i didn't think I'd be able to pull it off. SOME women who tried it...should NOT have! LOL!

But when watching the Fashion Police on E! just recently, Bobby Trendy and a fashion panel ( of course now i forget their names) were talking about Jennifer Anniston and how she consistently was on Blackwell's annual "BEST DRESSED" list and that she's been considered a "style icon" for quite sometime now.

From People Magazine:

People Magazine said:
Jennifer Aniston catapulted into stardom as spoiled-but-lovable Rachel Green on the hit TV series Friends. "The Rachel," her layered haircut, sparked a nationwide trend and transformed Aniston into a style icon.

In 2000, she married heartthrob Brad Pitt, but filed for divorce four and a half years later. When reports emerged of Pitt's romance with Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie, Aniston earned admiration from fans for her poise and resilience. But she quickly rebounded with her The Break-Up costar Vince Vaughn and younger heartthrob John Mayer.

and her fashion profile: http://www.indya.com/fashion/spotlight.html
 
Fashion ICON?! If she is for a haircut or some outfits here and there, then so is Kid from Kid n' Play for the flattop and MC Hammer for parachute pants, LOL.

If you are quoting People, who make money off her attempts to stay in the spotlight as a source, then what's left, a note from her mother?! She had ONE good run on Friends and some decent turns in movies that are not highly memorable. She made $$...great.

As for her responsibility in adopting kids, if they only have THAT good of a home for 18 years and nothing else, it will FAR eclipse the life they were staring in the face before they took her in. Typically, unless there is something cutting them out, they are LEGALLY her children and will get $$$ when she dies just like her natural children.

And Aniston does have good films out there (not #1 currently for either of them) apparently but Jolie has #1 films and an Oscar and I refuse to let her be crapped on for making the choice to be a mother and act less. That is what I can't stand here, the insinuation that her choice of motherhood was false or poorly motivated and that it should be just about her career. Even with the family, Aniston is looking up to her. And BTW, Jolie just had a hit movie with Oscar whispers. Let's get Aniston to do both of them ONCE before we go nuts over her, OKAY?

Admit it, this is about Pitt. That can be the only reason you are being this unreasonable Farrah. Aniston would kill you and eat your corpse for Angelina Jolie's career.
 
only a man would presume to think this discussion is about another man! LOL! You're a mess Garrick. & to compare Jennifer's style icon status to MCHammer or Kid nPlay lets me know that fashion & the coverage of it is not you're forte' lol but that's okay...most men who are married depend on their wives for much needed guidance in that. I can tell that you arent really familiar w/ Jennifer & her platform of achievement. There's a difference between being aware of her & knowing about her work. "he's just not that into you" IS the #1 romantic comedy movie while "marley & me" was #1 for several weeks in a row after its release. & in the end , jennifer is not going anywhere anytime soon. She's made her mark & her star isnt fading.
 
OK...did I pull her chain good enough or WHAT?! LMAO!

I would expect a single woman to think that her own admiration for someone's work counts for everyone or that the fact SHE wore a haircut from some second-rate actress from some TV show makes it iconic. For the record, there were MANY more flattops than Aniston-dos in the 90s. MANY more. Even white guys wore them, lol. How many Black women wore the Aniston or whatever it was called?

BTW, I WOULD ask my wife about fashion, she is beautiful and worldly...and she has said time and again that Aniston to Jolie is an upward move.
 
don't flatter yourself, sugar! if you knew me well enough you'd know that i NEVER shy away from an argument but lets face it...this argument was rather silly. you act like you SLEPT with Jolie or something! :p

as i share my FINAL THOUGHT on this let me say:

First of all, the title of the thread was not meant to spark a "who is better/better actress" debate, it was simply ripped from OK magazine and E! News. Sam hit the nail on the head when she said the ongoing "showdown" was played out.

YOU were the one who took it DOWN to a "who is better than who" level.

As someone who went to school for fashion and is reasonably well versed in fashion and pop culture i found your arguments about "why Angelina is better than Jennifer" to be rather lackluster, but still i did what i could to engage you.

I pulled out a few facts, references that were easy to find etc and still you dismissed Jennifer's box office clout (her exact take in thus far is easily found on any number of websites on line) and her status as a style icon. I NEVER said that Angelina Jolie is a bad actress. in fact I named two movies of her's that i LOVE. I prefer Jennifer because she has better fashion sense and ANYONE who knows me WELL knows that i am about fashion. Angelina Jolie may have been "sexy" at one time...but i think most people agree that she's TOO SKINNY now and that isnt sexy. Having big lips and NO BODY isnt sexy...its freakish. and I didnt say anything the MEDIA hadn't already said when highlight the FACT that she's "KNOWN MORE" for her adopting several children from as many countries and having babies than her ACTING career at this time. that isnt a SLIGHT..its just an actual observation. One film critic wrote that she needed to get BACK to acting and that's what she did with "Changeling"...it wasnt my FAVORITE film of her's to watch but it was something different and at least it was something that put her in the news for another reason than her finding another child she wanted to adopt.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but next time you want to agrue with me about something so inconsequential, come at me with something MORE than comparing a true style icon who is STILL RELEVANT to someone as irrelevant as MC Hammer or Kid n Play. Fashion critics who dress celebrities, photographers and other related sources who all say the same thing can't be wrong and again, this is what i went to school for so i THINK I know what i'm talking about. and as for "the rachel" versus "the flat top" Comparing a woman's hair style trend to a man's hairstyle trend is like comparing apples to oranges...they can go from one end of the country to another but they are still TOTALLY UNRELATED and it makes no sense to compare them. you'll never see a credible fashion magazine highlighting "the flatop" as a fashion HIGH POINT where as Farrah's "Feather" and Jennifer's "Rachel" have both cemented their place as high points in fashion and pop culture.


You like Angelina? GREAT! :nod: Enjoy her and her skinny body and giant lips. I enjoy many of her movies, but I don't think she's sexy by any stretch. I prefer Jennifer's fashion sense and your claims that her career is 2nd rate are just not bared out by the box office, critics or anyone ELSE who actually pays attention to her career and pop culture status. ;) you need to actually SAMPLE some of her work (and not clips from youtube or comments from other people) before you can make such a sweeping judgement. I, on the other hand, have more than sampled the work of BOTH actresses. Each one has their highlights and low points.
 
Alright so EVERYONE is abuzz about Jennifer Anniston and Angelina Jolie appearing at the SAME event [the Oscars] and when Jennifer emerged to be a presenter of two awards for the evening, everyone was abuzz with how she totally upstaged Angelina for the spotlight and attention.

Now personally? I think J.Ann's dress was fabulous! Totally somthing I would have wore and BETTER looking than Angelina's frock.

Many people (especially men) think Angelina "looks better" than J.Ann but i counter that with the fact that Aniston (and Sarah Jessica Parker for that matter) may not be "pretty" in their FACIAL features as some people say but they BOTH have BODIES and ROCK the outfits they wear. They are both considered FASHION ICONS.

Angelina Jolie on the other hand has made more than a FEW MAJOR and WELL documented fashion BLUNDERS at these award shows.

Angelina Jolie is probably most celebrated "homewrecker" on the globe right now. She arguably destroyed J.Ann's marriage, she's only RECENTLY begun to remind us that she can do MORE than adopt a child from every country on the globe and having babies with Brad Pitt ( meaning she's finally making movies again)

Jennifer Anniston has made the cross over from TV to Big screen smoothly enough .



when it comes to fashion and style? I prefer J.Ann. Angelina's LIPS enter the room five minutes before she does and pretty much that's all you remember about her.

In terms of acting ability? Well i think we havent seen ENOUGH of J.Ann yet to see how far she can go. She's had a few roles that have tested her range and she's aquitted herself well but Angelina's been in the game for a while now. Hopefully she will remember there IS life after filling her house with 5000 children (and stealing other people's husbands)

Just so you can remember, THIS was your opening post. You CLAIM that you like them both, but I find little positive for Jolie in this opening post. This was the reason more than any other why I was so passionately for Jolie.

You made a VERSUS poll and then trashed Jolie with all of the unfounded mud and half-truths that could be found while equating Jennifer Aniston to Sarah Jessica Parker as a fashion icon, which is simply ridiculous. You might like her, but she was and is no Parker in terms of style and influence. I don't need a vagina to know THAT, lol.

If you were being fair and balanced, you would have stopped dissing Jolie's clothing (frocks?) and noted that Blackwell listed HER as best-dressed the last 2 years, NOT Aniston.

That combined with your dismissive tone of her decision to raise children and to enjoy her marriage to Brad Pitt...just because you don't have them does not mean they are not worthy of having.

As someone who is well-versed in the ideas of charity and serving others, I found your dismissal of Jolie's charity work and child adoptions puzzling, especially when compared to the backdrop of an actress who has no responsibilities and with all that extra time on her hands has done nothing to even EQUAL, much less surpass Jolie's work. Your comments implied that Jolie's star was falling. No evidence of that at all. She is busy and choosy. For the record, she STILL has as many movie hits as Aniston this past year or so.

To be well-dressed and doing nothing for anyone is not impressive to me.

Jolie is doing important work with the UN, and she still manages to impress fashion critics and has a bigger career than Aniston...and she is not done yet.

I voted for Jennifer Aniston. I love her, she is brilliant! I know a lot of people like angelina Jolie (we had a big discussion at work) but i have never really seen the appeal in her, i have always liked Jen though. I feel very sorry for Jen for the fact that Brad left Jen for Angelina but at the end of the day things like that happen everyday to people all over the world.
But yeah back to my point i prefer Jen to Angelina, always have and always will and as someone said earlier in the thread Jen has much better style!

Hell yeah!
Jennifer=Clingy wanna-be girlfriend to half of Hollywood, but well-dressed

HARDLY that. you have her confused with Jessica Simpson when it comes to being "clingy" and her movie career is in full swing right now. just cause YOU havent seen any of her films (but then again you're a straight man who passed on Sex & the CIty so we KNOW you're not going to have an INFORMED opinion on the movie tip LOL) doesnt mean she's "over." ;) and her fashion record speaks for itself. even YOU can see that :p

Angelina=works for the UN, Academy Award winner, mother and wife, looks good in a potato sack

I think the winner here is clear.

Angelina take a bow.

she'll still NEVER live down the fact that she once played tongue hockey with BILLY BOB THORTON...and then MADE OUT WITH HER OWN BROTHER at the academy awards LOL! :haha:

I'm team Jennifer and I agree with all of this.
She kissed her brother, thats all... I swear *and roll my eyes* at celeb magazines

I'm sure we've kissed siblings... only me?

Oh Okay, and Jen, oh no no no, You know back in the day I liked her, when i was obsessed with 'Friends' but I couldnt see how or what Brad saw in her.

Angelina is just on a total, better, higher, level and its an insult to her to be compared with Aniston in any way.

full on open mouth? with tongue? I SAW IT that night it happened on TV :haha: it was pretty mind numbing (not to mention that outfit she was wearing....Morticia Addams much?)

Angelina cleaned up her act tremendously by the time she started adopting children and thats why she enjoys the accolades and respect she does now. Although she may have been the unwitting inspiration to "Octo Mom" but we wont hold THAT against her lol :p

I started liking Jen as her movie career was taking off. She was actually my LEAST favorite "Friend" (Monica was my favorite) her FASHION on the show was sharp and her dating Brad Pitt was eye candy heaven. They looked so great together. But her career as an actress toward the end of Friends and post friends has several tremendous credits.

I think part of the problem when it comes to how some people perceive her is that she began as a TV actress where as Jolie came from movie pedigree (John Voight) so she had a leg up, but Jennifer has made the cross over. she's still a fashion icon and she's not finished as a movie actress by far.

and really it was the media that started the whole Jennifer vs Angelina bit (especially the night they came close to sharing the stage at the golden globes last year) and being that this IS an "entertainment" board...we HAD to talk about it here :D
 
Jackie Kennedy was a fashion icon. Jennifer Aniston is simply well-dressed.

As for her career, not even in Jolie's area code.

As for being the clingy ex-girlfriend ask Vince Vaughn, or is it Paul Sculfor or is it John Mayer for the how-many-times now? At least until Mayer decides to tap Jess Simpson's ass AGAIN.

And one of them is a respected wife and mother, UN envoy and world-reknowned and respected philanthropist in spite of her past. A past that only the most ardent of her detractors even brings up at this point in her life.
 
"If I were stranded on a deserted island, I would like to take Angelina Jolie's family. If we were hungry, she would wrestle a wild animal for us to eat. If it rained, we would all take shelter under her enormous lips. If we killed all the animals, we could eat one of her seven million children."
-A friend of mine, response to a journal topic
On a different note, I choose Jennifer Aniston. :D

Actually Jennifer Aniston's father is an established soap actor. Even though that doesn't qualify her as being apart of a 'pedigree acting family', she still had ties to get into the buisness.

While I agree Jennifer Aniston is popular, has a decent movie career, is fashion forward, and very pretty; it's like comparing apples to oranges. Angelina JOlie is an oscar winning actress. When people hear her name tied to a movie they instantly become interested in it. The industry KNOWS she'll sell movies. Jennifer Aniston, while popular and talented, doesn't have the blockbuster pull Angelina Jolie does. Now that doesn't mean that her movies don't do well in the box office or that she's not popular, but she's no wear near the calibar Angelina Jolie is at. That's just fact.

I think either way, there's always going to be the 'who's better' debate. It's been going on since 2005. :rolleyes: There will be haters on both sides claiming ones better than the other, and it'll be like arguing with a brick wall. Personally, I enjoy both actresses. But I am a bigger fan of Angelina Jolies. *shrug*
 
I think Angelina Jolie is a good actress. She's not my personal LOOK, but she is a pretty woman although her looks have MORE than declined in my opinion over these last few years, I know I know she's doing all this damn charity work, but there are so many unsung heroes that dedicate their lives to various causes, give everything they HAVE when they don't have that much themselves.. where are their stories? I enjoyed Angelina in Girl Interrupted, Taking Lives, Gia and that's really it.

I really enjoyed Jennifer Aniston on FRIENDS. I liked her in Picture Perfect, Rumor Has It, The Break Up, Marley & Me, Along Came Polly, Bruce Almighty, Friends with Money, Office Space, He's Just Not That Into You... Not to mention she is filming three movies right now and is in talks for another SEVEN film projects including The Divorce Party with Bradley Cooper. She is someone that ALOT of women identify. She is more normal, more real and a HELL of a lot more relatable. When Jennifer Aniston is in things, I like them. She has a LOT of Film Credits to her name and I feel is in the process of REALLY establishing herself as one of the TOP names in Hollywood. She may not be on the "fame" level of Angelina but I think she is on her way.
 
*reads the list of movies*

Don't rate any of them, she makes plenty of samey movies to me.

I'd rather Aniston went away, and she can take that McConaughey fella with her... dont rate him either.
