<p>Are there other issues involving celebrities that cause more strain on marriages than for the regular Joe:
Is there an attraction to marry “the star” rather than the real person within
Does the environment of constant spotlight and a higher rate of divorce among peers affect their relationship
Is there a lot more opportunity that these people have for casual alliances
Are there fewer reasons such as “can I afford the same home/car without the spouse” that may keep middle street USA together, but the Hollywood crowd is less affected
I speak for most people I encounter in my daily life - none of us is ever in faux intimate situations with others because that’s not in our job descriptions - I mean kissing, in bed with, simulating intimacy in front of the camera. Does this lower the threshold in behavior off camera leading to less stable marriages?</p>
<p>Over time for many years now, I have asked many people why some people believe J. Anniston is beautiful. Some responses are that she is strong and knows how to take care of herself. </p>
<p>For me beauty is to be pleasant too, I consider Jennifer as rude an unpleasant when she talks to others. When she speaks is all serious business, certain kind of “rough” femininity. It is puzzled me because I have wondered why people feel she is attractive. The irony is that she has been called the American sweetheart. Yes, she is beautiful, but the roughness takes a little bit from her beauty.</p>
<p>My perception is that Jennifer is like a gorgeous dress but when you tried on will prick you. Do you remember those cute dresses your mother probably wanted for you to try on when you were a child for those special occasions–then you saw some tul fabric and you knew it will itch and prick your skin…?</p>
<p>This perception is because even though she is physically pretty and has a great body, when she talks or laugh is a sounds like “sour and rough” talk, I will describe it as “sharp, “cutting talk–no femininity at all.</p>
<p>So, I hate to be judgmental in this case, but for many years when I see her in an interview I always found myself thinking so beautiful girl but so sour and lack of femininity (unpleasant to hear).</p>
<p>However, if you ask my daughters and teenagers, they love her very much and many think she is strong and determined woman!</p>
<p>We know she is gorgeous. Thinking in her interviews what is your opinion concerning the way she talks?</p>
<p>Just keep repeating to yourself: I don’t know these people. I don’t know these people. I don’t know these people.
ALL of the information that you receive is filtered through a vast network of press agents and media outlets.
Even my husband who has worked on a professional level with EVERYONE mentioned above does not “know” these people. Because it’s work. It’s not personal and he is not delusional enough to think that even that superficial relationship tells him anything about their lives at home—
They are ACTORS. Enjoy their work and leave the rest to God.</p>
<p>We have the illusion that we know celebrities because we are on a first name basis. Ever notice that the celeb magazines (at least on the cover) refer to almost all celebrities by their first name only? It used to be only a handful achieved first name status: Madonna, Cher, Charo, and maybe a few others. But now, scanning the headlines in the grocery store line, I usually can’t figure who the heck they are talking about. I guess I just don’t follow celebs enough to know.</p>
<p>“Over time for many years now, I have asked many people why some people believe J. Anniston is beautiful.”</p>
<p>I’ve just seen her face on magazines and Internet sites, and have never seen a show or move that she was in. I’ve never heard her voice or seen a video featuring her. She looks ordinary to me. I am baffled about why people find her so beautiful. She always reminds me of that line in a poem that a woman is “a rag and a bone and a hank of hair”</p>
<p>Halle Berry and Angela Jolie are beautiful to me. Sandra Bullock is pretty, but not what I consider beautiful. I also don’t know why so many consider her to be America’s sweetheart.</p>
<p>Hi Coureur…Mr. “traveller”. Considering your experience about life and what have been said [I agree with you that she is pretty physically] Answer the following question [However, if you ask my daughters and teenagers, they love her very much and many think she is strong and determined woman! We know she is gorgeous. Thinking in her interviews what is your opinion concerning the way she talks–kind of rough and lack of femininity?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t pretend to speak for all men, NSM, but I can tell u what I think. Of the 3 mentioned, I think JA then HB far and away the most attractive, then SB third. Of couse I am trying to compare only their physical beauty and not my opinion of their talent or my speculation of their personality.
JA seems to be the more curvy of the 3 and I find her slim- but not bony- shape attractive. Yes, I can think of celebs I consider more attractive, but I’ll keep on point for the OP. I am reminded of Julia Roberts who had a “body double” for the box cover of Pretty Woman- because her legs were so skinny they weren’t considered pretty enough.
SB is sure a pretty one, but for me something about her is more “girl next door” look that is hard to define. Pretty is not the same as attractive for me, though it is difficult for me to explain the difference politely. Giraffes are pretty, but I wouldn’t want to “sleep” with one. Of the 3 “Friends” I always felt Courtney the prettiest face, but a body that is so slim it seems to have no curves, to put it nicely. I prefer some curves that can come with a more fit, and more athletic body.
And before anyone asks, I am sure no Brad Pitt, but the topic here is comparing the physical attributes of 3 female celebs.</p>
<p>I am guessing the “America’s sweetheart” has to do with exceptional good looks, but not so good that any male or female turns their head. This combined with what is perceived as a pleasant personality, and a certain vulnerability, put her on a pedestal, but not so high up that she is beyond sight. It’s the old line about women would like to have her as a friend, and men would like to have her.</p>
<p>I don’t get that at all. What? Jennifer Anniston talks like a lumberjack in interviews? I just haven’t noticed that, but I haven’t been paying attention either. I mostly know her from the four or so movies I’ve seen in which she had roles. I don’t recall her being unfeminine at all. In fact she usually plays the romantic lead.</p>
<p>I watched a few old interviews with her just to see what you were talking about, coureur. What I noticed was that she seemed to have no depth. I wouldn’t call her stupid, but I didn’t feel she was witty or terribly engaging. Of course, I have never liked her acting or the majority of her movies, so I admit to seeing her through the “meh” lens.</p>
<p>One does not need to be smart to be loved. When 2 people get together without commitment, it does not matter who dumped who and whatever reason was. Apparently, they do not need each other, they know very well that there is no problem in getting the next one, they do not value relationship for whatever it is, smart or stupid. If one say that we like our babies because they are smart, would it make any sense? I do not think so.</p>
<p>In my single days I was dumped several times…someone has to be the dumper and someone the dumpee until you get married so it’s not surprising and celebrities are different all together…and more of that might go on in our lives if we had no financial incentives to make a go of it, let alone if we were awash in beautiful people on a regular basis.</p>
<p>^Most of these beautiful people are only beautiful outside, not inside. And again if one loves another, there is no reason for it, they just love adn appreciate bad and ugly people. Among celebrities, there is lack of commitment, there is degree of mutual understanding that marriage might be something very temporary. There are exceptions to this rule, and people are not necessarily very beautiful or having awesome personalities. They just love each other and committed to each other.</p>
<p>All we truly know about these beautiful women are the roles they play and what magazines say about them. Personally, my heart goes out to them because whenever you see them on the red carpet or whatever, they appear very reserved, semi quiet, very well put together and definitely gorgeous. But the world they live in is quite different than our everyday life. I actually wouldn’t want their life with always being followed by the paparazzi, etc. Someone is always watching their every move…I don’t think that is a very fulfilling life! How much freedom do they actually have?! So, having said that…we really don’t know what they are like on the inside. I guess I just hope they are as appealing on the inside as they appear on the outside. Who knows with their romance, it could also just be bad luck or they are too nice!!</p>
