We're Sure Her Sense Of Humor Keeps Her Warm On Lonely Nights

Jennifer Aniston may be as interesting to watch as waiting for paint to dry and still obsessed with Brad Pitt, but at least she can crack wise at her own expense.

At the Women in Film Awards last Friday, Aniston was presented with the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film and gave a jokey acceptance speech, beating everyone (and by "everyone" we mean us) to the punch line.

She said, I have a strange parallel with movies I was doing and my life off screen. First, it was The Good Girlwhich evolved into Rumor Has It, followed by Derailed. Then there was The Breakup followed by the lighter side, Friends With Money which I thought was on the nose. If anyone has a movie called Everlasting Love With an Adult Stable Man, that would be great! I'm at table six, and my agents are at table 12.

Sure, there's something slightly awkward about the whole thing . . . because it's painfully true, but we can't help but notice she forgot the most obvious one He's Just Not That Into You. And how could she fail to mention The Baster and dear lord, something in production called The Divorce Party? Wonder if we can get hold of the WOMAN.ca credit card to send her a fruit basket or something because we can pretty much take the week off when that cinematic gem comes out. The jokes will practically write themselves.

No doubt Jen laughed and laughed like she's never laughed before, before her laugh turned into a tsunami of tears as she rocked back and forth while braiding her
hair and mumbling, "Why, why, why . . ." (said in Nancy Kerrigan's voice after she got whacked in the knee).

And while on the subject of The Lonely Hearts Club founding member, Jen's award is supposedly for "expanding the role of women in the entertainment industry." We're
scratching our head trying to figure out exactly what she "expanded" since she plays Rachel Green over and over again in EVERY FRIGGING MOVIE. The same mannerisms. The same delivery. The same hair. The only thing different is the outfits.

But we guess calling it the "Celebrating Mediocre Acting in Slightly Better Than Average Movies, Thus Allowing Others With Actual Talent To Succeed in Far Better Flicks" award wouldn't quite fit on the front, even in 9-point font.

We're sure being the proud recipient of the prestigious Crystal Award, which is probably just as good as winning an Oscar, and the chance to wear a short silver dress that showed off her boobs more than makes up for Jen's rival Angelina Jolie being named the world's most powerful celebrity.

'Cause while Angelina was busy doing whatever it is that makes her so gosh darned important that even Oprah takes a back seat, Jen has been recognized for her single-handed crusade to defy the gender-constricted roles found in the entertainment industry . . . by playing second fiddle to a cute canine in a kiddie flick.

Inspiring stuff. Truly.
