She is without a doubt the most overrated actor in Hollyweird today. Cute and all, but bland, bland, bland, with no range or expressions.

She's not even in the same league as Mel Gibson, not by any stretch of the imagination...

Exactly. That's the crowd Aniston belongs with... within the "Bimbo-ette" category!

Aniston is the latest example of the Seinfeld Phenomenon. Once Seinfeld ended so did the careers of the players. The same thing will happen to Aniston...a really bland woman who is in the right place at the right time. She proves that even plain janes can make it.

It's bad enough that journalists spin stories but can't they at least try to keep the headlines realistic?

What has she even done? was in an "Overated" sitcom Friends? which I think sucked? and she is married to Brad Pitt, I guess that's all Hollywood needs to determine a Actor is a Powerhouse Giant..

Frankly I did like Seinfeld..Friends? NOT...It appears there will come a day when they won't even need human beings as actors and pay them millions of dollars when they can make a movie like "Shrek" and pay the players in that movie "Nada"

At least George, Kramer, and Elaine were unique characters created by their actors. I mean who can't remember Elaine dancing, or George eating an eclair out of the grbage, or Kramer sliding through the door slapping down cash on Jerry's counter and saying "I'm out!". Remember anything Rachel ever did?

NO argument...I was simply pointing out that Aniston is here today gone tomorrow (like Seinfeld)...unless Brad sticks by her.

I know you weren't disagreeing, I just wanted to underscore Mrs. Pitt's lack of talent even more.

Again no argument...they don't call it the Hollywood "dream" machine for nothing. Except in Aniston's (and Moore and others) case it's more like a nightmare.
