The Bounty Hunter
Given the spate of poor choices Jennifer Aniston’s made in her film career, it’s fascinating to see the actress emerge time and again from cinematic mediocrity seemingly untouched–and ready to do it all over again!
Sure, execs are touting that her latest flick, The Bounty Hunter, reached its general projected earnings, making $21 million at the box office this past weekend and ranking third to Diary of a Wimpy Kid (#2) and Alice In Wonderland (#1). But when all is said and done, we know that Aniston has nothing to worry about. Why? Because we like her, and quite frankly, that likability factor is the predominant force behind her A-list status. (Considering her professional repertoire as of late, maybe that isn’t such a bad thing.)
We love Jen because she’s a dichotomy: On one hand, she’s the approachable all-American gal who’s dealt with her fair share of insecurities and heartbreaks; on the other, she’s the millionaire Hollywood actress living ‘the dream’–with the Tracy Anderson-trained hot bod and gorgeous Cali tresses.
Granted, she isn’t the only A-list actress who’s loved more for her personal drama and/or style than excelling at her craft (think: Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Alba, and yes, even nemesis, Angelina Jolie), but I think it’s safe to say she trumps them all.
Being famous for being famous isn’t necessarily an enviable position to be in, but Jen is in a lucky spot. Because the public [hearts] her despite her lackluster roles, perhaps it’ll give her an incentive to push boundaries and take the kind of professional risks that she’s seemingly open to taking in her love life (ahem).

I can’t know how anybody would buy a perfume called Jennifer Aniston. It doesn’t sound like a scent and does not produce the right impression.
