Jennifer Aniston was cute. I forgot how cute she used to be. Her face
was heart-shaped and she actually had tits.
Now, she has this enormous Jay Leno chin. Every time I see her, it's
getting longer and longer. I'm not being sarcastic -- is there
something physically wrong with her? There's some disease that makes
chins grow (Abe Lincoln supposedly had it) or is it all attributed to
her (unnecessary) weight loss?
She needs to put on that 20 pounds or, in the words of my mother, "go
to a plastic surgeon and have the bone whittled down". It's HORRIFIC!
--Amy
They had a retrospective of Friends on ET recently, and she did look
cute. She had a much softer look than she does today. Skin, face, jaw, hair,
even attitude.
"Now, she has this enormous Jay Leno chin. Every time I see her, it's
getting longer and longer. I'm not being sarcastic -- is there something
physically wrong with her? There's some disease that makes chins grow (Abe
Lincoln supposedly had it) or is it all attributed to her (unnecessary)

What disease is that?
"She needs to put on that 20 pounds or, in the words of my mother, 'go to a
plastic surgeon and have the bone whittled down.' It's HORRIFIC!"
She is not going to put on 20 lbs. And plastic surgery is not likely to
happen. It's not just her chin; it's her jaw. Plastic surgery usually
involves working on skin; removing bone is different.
It is true that when people age their features get more defined and
chins can become more prominent. It happened to my mother and I've seen it
with many others, too.
Jennifer Aniston has successfully distracted our attention from her chin
for a long time. She did this with her great hairstyles. When she started
out I noticed her hair (loved it) and her chin (hated it). Now I think her
hair is okay and don't mind her chin.
Jennifer is already obsessed about her weight; she does not need to be
obsessed about her chin as well, especially when she can't do anything about
it.
Christina Ricci's chin is as severe or more severe. Recently saw a
picture of her and was struck by her extreme features. She is odd in the way
she has the huge forehead but she will pull back her hair to "flaunt it."
Nicole Kidman has a large pale forehead, and she has also pulled back her
hair for an evening out. So not flattering!
A usenet post earlier this year seems to capture Ricci's large,
disproportionate head:
"She has a really odd-shaped face with the bulging dome forehead and
bug-eyes and pointed chin. Very alien-appearing."
"Ahh. But some think she's very beautiful. Strange. But to each his/her own.
I personally think what's strange about her is not necessarily the bug eyes,
pointed chin, and huge forehead but rather... have you ever noticed that her
forehead is bumpy? She has like two bulging somethings on each side of her
head and towards the middle. I'm not kidding. But she must be proud of it."
Too often when someone labels an actress beautiful, it is the result of
singling out one or two features, not the entire person. She has great
eyes... "she's beautiful." She has a great face... "she's beautiful."
Have you seen the Julia Louis-Dreyfus chin? Right up there with the rest
of them.
It is surprising when you look at actresses like Witherspoon,
Louis-Dreyfus, Aniston, and Ricci that they were not cut in the beginning.
But the extreme chins do not stop them from making millions, including, of
course, the most extreme of them all, Jay Leno, who incorporated his
outstanding facial feature into the title of his 1999 book, Leading With My
Chin.
Some of Hollywood's leading men did not have perfect chins. Have you
ever seen Cary Grant's chin? It looks as if there were two flaps of skin. I
guess you call it a "cleft chin."
Occasionally, features of actors are written into the script. Remember
Jason Alexander as George Costanza on Seinfeld being nailed for his bald
head? I don't recall, however, anyone forcing an actor to "take in on the
chin."
Three years ago, Nick Curtis wrote a newspaper article entitled: "Star
jaws, the Hollywood debate."
A friend, having worshipped at the altar of Shakespeare in Love, delivered
the following verdict on the saintly Gwyneth: "Very sexy. Lovely smile. No
chin, though."
Aha, I thought, the secret is out.
Lisa Kudrow has a "soft" jaw and Christina Ricci has proved an exception to
the mandible typecasting rule.
The casting of Hollywood babes is governed not by hair colour (blonde v
brunette) or body shape (voluptuary v beanpole), but by "the mandible
theory" of chin v mouth.
Actresses have been divided into two camps. There are the swooning violets,
played by gals whose faces slope unbroken into their necks, but who have
letterbox lips.
And there are the tough broads, who seem to be smuggling flat irons in their
lower jaws, but whose mouths look like shaving cuts.
The Eighties was the era of the chin. Just look at Sigourney Weaver and
Sharon Stone, the archetypal strong women of modern movies, who maintained a
firm set of an impressive jaw and a tight-lipped smirk, whether kicking
alien butt or forgetting their knickers.
Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon set their faces in firm, jutting masks in the
feminist fantasy Thelma and Louise.
Bridget Fonda coasted into a celluloid career, leading with the chin she
inherited from her granddad Henry, father Peter and auntie Jane.
Today, British actresses Minnie Driver and Claire Forlani carry the torch
forward in their teeth, so to speak.
The chinless wonders, on the other hand, tend to be softer, quieter and more
WASP-y.
Think of Gwyneth or the quintessential pouting, baby-faced babe, Alicia
Silverstone.
Melanie Griffith bucked the trend by offering a string of brainless, bimbo
roles despite possessing one of the most expansive jawlines ever to fill a
cinema screen.
Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie each showed a weak profile beside Keanu
Reeves and Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate.
Lisa Kudrow has parlayed her sassy, kooky, but undeniable soft-featured
persona into a more successful film career than her stone-faced Friends
co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
Chinless girls tend to be soft-spoken, needy or ditzy. Sometimes, like
Jennifer Tilly, they are all three.
There are exceptions to the mandible typecasting rule, of course.
Christina Ricci has cornered the market in strong, wicked jailbait roles
despite a cranial structure and a rosebud mouth apparently carved out of
blanc-mange.
And Melanie Griffith bucked the Eighties trend by offering a string of
brainless, breathy bimbo roles despite possessing one of the most expansive
jawlines ever to fill a cinema screen.
The grail of LA casting directors is the star who can appeal to both camps.
Not only does she exist, but her constantly escalating fees seem to suggest
that she realises the power of her physiognomy: she's got a chin like Mr
Punch and a mouth that looks as if it could easily accommodate both her
fists.
Her name is Julia Roberts, and she could be the crossover star of the lower
face -- an awesome thought to chew on.

I think her chin is weird, too. In fact the whole jawline is weird. And the
fact that's she terribly thin doesn't help.
I saw an interview just a few weeks ago on ET and they have not quit. Bob Goen
asked her point blank. She said they will quit when they decide to have
children.

Post is too long. Her tits are perfect. Best part about her.

She was fat in the early episodes. Now it looks like she's been
eating properly and working out. Whenever I catch this show, I always
notice how Aniston is clearly the best-looking one of the three - now
that Monica is an older woman.

She was FAT?! Sure you don't have Brad Pitt syndrome?
I usually refer to myself as a girl, and to all my (female) friends as girls,
and we all cleared 15 many, many years ago as well.
K.
***
Shop smart. Shop S-MART. YA GOT THAT?
Jen is on the cover of the December "Tatler", but the article and photos
are a reprint of the article that was in VOGUE several months ago.
She looked largely the same through the first many episodes of Friends,
having already lost any weight she needed to. This guy is saying she was
fat after the series started, which is absolutely mind-boggling. She
carried that same look up until ... well, around the time she started dating
Pitt.
I know, WTF is up with that? Her weight was perfectly fine in the
early seasons - *now* I'd say she's too thin, like Courteney Cox was a
few years ago. Should we call that the Lara Flynn Boyle or the
Calista Flockhart syndrome? Those women are freakishly thin and
frankly Jennifer Aniston was much prettier before she decided to go
down that path. Of course, attitudes like the above don't help --
they just feed right into the whole thing. Hollywood is sending the
message and apparently people are buying into it. Sad.
Ugh, I hate that, too. I don't mind it as an adjective--"the female
rabbit," for example. But as a noun--"We received a call from the female"?
Ick.
I don't mind being referred to as a woman, but if someone calls me "ma'am,"
it makes me feel 1000 years old. I also feel ancient when a mother tells
her child to step aside so that "the lady" can pass. (Of course, that's not
as bad as the smarmy use--"Bud is good with *the ladies*.")

IMO this is a very bizarre statement. At 31 you've surely gone through
puberty and have breasts & hips & the ability to have children. You're
not a little girl. You're an adult woman and have been for many years.
Why would that upset you?
"...down that path"-- what a joke. She's fitter and healthier than
ever.
It's your attitude and message that's disturbing.
The "fat is healthy" bullshit only flies with fatties- and with guys
who are trying to score points with women. It's pure jealousy.
It's the women who can't achieve that level of hotness who call it
"freakish".
Unless you're their doctor, you cannot say they're sick.
It's strange to be as thin as Lara Flynn Boyle or Callista Flockhart. They
look like they are starving. Some actresses -- Kate Hudson comes to mind --
are naturally slender and lean and look great that way. God, I think Kate
Hudson is a pretty girl. Neither CF or LFB has the healthy look that KH
has. I don't think fat is healthy -- but I don't think I have ever seen a
picture of Jennifer Aniston that looks fat. Ever. She certainly has
weighed more than she does now, but I don't think she ever looked unhealthy
or bad.

Damn...am I glad that you as a woman ( is it safe to say that) just
said what you said.
I was afraid that I had just slipped through to some internet-version
of the 'Twilight Zone'. If the term 'ladies' or the respectful
intended 'maam' is off-limits for adult women....about the only term
left is the "H" word used by so many rappers in rap videos.
And that term...for better or worse...seems to be reserved exclusively
for Jennifer Lopez.
Well that and terms like....chicks, hottie, squeeze, hammer, birds ( a
British thing), bitch ( don't curse me I personally don't use it),
cooze ( I think maybe a working class New York thing ??), sweet thang
( a term from the 'hood?), ...I could go on ...but you get my drift.

I don't believe that some women think that "fat is necessarily
healthy"....If you pay attention they say that normal -sized women
should be satisfied with their average sized bodies. Nothing more.
>It's the women who can't achieve that level of hotness who call it
>"freakish".
>Unless you're their doctor, you cannot say they're sick.
Speaking from a male view point that I consider to be as close to
normal as anyone else's...the " Vogue" magazine image of pencil thin
women is *not* a level of 'hotness' by any means.
Plop the 'average-Joe' down on a beach between two body types in
string bikinis....a Calista Flockart type on side and a Minnie driver
type on the other....see which one gets the most 'ogle' time.
And yeah...you're probably right they're not sick...but most likely
misguided.
Gotta go now....here comes Minnie.

On the off chance that you're not joking....I'll direct you to a
Google search using ( J Lo) or ( Lopez) as search words.
The results of that search should provide you with boundless examples
of the "H" word in action and it's meaning.
You have to see it used in the proper context to get the full effect.

Just tried them, for the 2.7 and the 4.3 million hits accordingly, and

Yeah, really, talk about wierd. Sounds like one of the posters at a
pro-anorexia website, with the fear of having an adult body.
I'm sure you and the other adult "girls" love it when your boss or
instructor use the term as well. Nothing like being refered to by a
child by a condescending male.
I think it is a man thing, well a straight man thing :-)
I'm not.
Of course, I'm a straight woman.

Which is sort of funny, because nearly as many men like rounded butts as
like sizable breasts. The phrase "baby got back" didn't enter the
lexicon for nothing.
Of course as in, "are they too big, are they too small, too droopy, should I
get implants" etc. etc.

Hmm, again Im differnt, in I don't like a round 'butt' on a woman, I
prefer her to have a tiny little 'butt'. Jennifer Lopez has a fat
butt, and Gwyneth Paltrow has a tiny little 'butt', and Id rather look
at her from behind. ;)
Yep, women worry about all that and all a guy needs to worry about is
if his dick is to small. :-)
Um, she IS too thin. She used to have more meat on her bones, and she
looked thin then. It isn't jealousy, it's actually a no-brainer--her
profession, peers, etc. She's steeped in the whole culture. She
wasn't fat in the earlier seasons. She did look healthier, and it
isn't bullshit to say so.
Your attitude is pretty much that of an asshole who equates skinny
with hot. So, you've tried to score points with women by bullshitting
them? Man, you're sad.
Actually there are other things a man should worry about as well as penis
size - generally I found the most critical of men are the least perfect to
look at
Amen to that.
The girls are too thin, except Lisa IMO.
