Lots And Lots Of Non-Denial Denials
Yesterday I wrote about Jennifer Aniston and her fear of being photographed next to someone who can actually act. The fact that her ex-husband thought the actress in question was a hottie just added to the drama.
This honestly wasn't that big of a deal, and now it has become such because Jennifer's publicist answered the phone. This whole thing would have been over quicker than Paris Hilton opens her legs for a video camera, but now it is going to get dragged out until the world hears from two people. Jennifer Connelly and someone from Marie Claire.
Here is what Jennifer's publicist (who is usually very good) had to say:
"Marie Claire wanted Jennifer alone. It was our idea to make it a group cover."
"The magazine only wanted to put three [actresses] on the cover, and definitely wanted Drew Barrymore. We recommended Ginnifer Goodwin because she is basically the lead role in the film... Jennifer got along great with Jennifer Connelly."
So how did the magazine go from only wanting Jennifer A to also definitely wanting Drew Barrymore? A group of three huh? I'm not buying it. Are you honestly going to sit there with a straight face and tell me that if Marie Claire also had the chance to put Jennifer Connelly on the same cover they would have said no? First of all she looks better than any of the other three. Second of all, if it had been a women of the film theme, maybe Scarlett Johansson would have wanted to get in on it as well. You think Marie Claire would go for a group of five if they could get them or would they settle for what Jennifer Aniston's people offered?
Come on.
Now, last night, Ginnifer Goodwin was interviewed by Kneepads magazine and she didn't deny that it happened. The only thing she said was that "it's absurd." It is absurd that I have spent all this time talking about something that I don't really care about except that I want someone to have the huevos and come out and admit they were jealous and wanted to be the best looking person on the cover. Well that didn't work. She is still third even in this group.
How hard would it have been for Marie Claire or Jennifer Connelly's publicist to make a statement yesterday? Crickets.
