This $h*t better not be true!!!

It's Wednesday, therefore there is a perfect storm of tabloid stories. But the one that jumped out at me was the possible Jennifer Aniston/Tina Fey Emmy catfight, courtesy of RadarOnline. While this story seem bogus, there are some things about Aniston which makes me not dismiss the story outright.

First, her tendency to slam other women. Sarah Jessica Parker has been an ongoing target of this b*tch's ire, citing that Sex and the City was all about looking for and getting men, which, first of all wasn't entirely true (expensive shoes and clothes, hanging with friends, careers, and serious contemplations were among the show's signature storylines); and secondly, wasn't Rachel Greene's sole purpose in life loving/emotionally torturing vulnerable Ross? Seems to me, Carrie Bradshaw had the leg up on Rachel, given that she was ions more complicated than Rachel. Barbara Steisand was another unsuspecting woman who found herself in ___'s crosshairs, which coincidentally, happened around the time when Aniston rocked super long straight hair, much like Steisand's in What's Up Doc? Given that Aniston was oh so traumatized by being called plain, funny-looking, and unpretty, why would she hurl the same 'comments' at Steisand? Maybe she was sore because people moved away from the What's Up, Doc? comparison and onto The Way We Were, where Steisand's Katie was ditched by Redford's golden boy, Hubbel, who happened to bear a resemblance to ex-husband/dreamboat Brad Pitt. At any rate, Jennifer Aniston doesn't play well with other women who can outshine her.

But would she be willing to shoot herself in the foot by appearing ungrateful? Oh, absolutely! She was Heigl before Heigl was Heigl, when she pissed and moaned about the director of Rumor Has It until dude was fired and then continued to trash the movie during and after the film's premiere. She allowed her self-produced film, Management, to die on the vine, because the poor me press didn't translate into box office dollars. And there is that never taking her share of the responsibility for failure thing.

Now, it's important to say that the category that both women are nominated in is presented at the Creative Arts Emmy, which happens a week before the Primetime Emmys; therefore, it wouldn't be worth anyone's while to make a scene about the competition. It's also important to note that while Aniston can seem dumber than a box of rocks, her committing such a huge public faux pas towards another woman, who happens to be one of the most sought-after writing/comedic talents in HW, especially when she's trying to convince the public that she's an imminent power player, seems far-fetched.

But then again, there is that ongoing conversation, via pap shots and magazine covers, about how viable/sexy/desirable she really is among the HW male contingent... which few people are really buying.
