Rupert Everett has reportedly criticised Jennifer Aniston for starring in "tasteless" movies.
In a recent interview with Radio 4, the actor said that stars like Aniston are "mostly sustained by the business" and not by the quality of their work or audience perception.
"I'm not going to start naming names of people whose films have not succeeded at the box office, but you'll find there's lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they'll stand with them for quite a long time," he explained.
Everett added: "OK, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club, and she will still manage to... like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, you know, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula."
Aniston's recent films The Switch, The Bounty Hunter and Love Happens failed to garner much success at the box office.
Personally, I totally agree with RE here. Jennifer Aniston displayed some amazing versatility in The Good Girl, but she's become lazy over the past few years and seems to constantly play "Rachel from Friends" in every film. She's in her 40s now and it's getting repetitive and unbelievable, hence the fall in box office ratings. Her last "different" role was in 2005's Derailed and her future film Horrible Bosses looks a bit different from her usual fare. This is promising.
She can do it, but it irritates me that she doesn't.

Co starring in a Julia Roberts (of all people) rom com? The ultimate cheese feast.
Would he say such things about Jen if he wasn't in Madonna's group of sycophants?
Shame, I've always liked him, even when he came out as a prostitute.
He went on that so called 'casting couch' and well...crap shag?
Who knows! The thing is, I like him too, despite him being his own worst enemy, but I do feel he had an unrealistic opinion of his own abilities. That and his insistence that everything that caused his career to implode is down to him being an out gay actor is him refusing to accept the reality, which is: had he had a more pleasant personality and learned how to hustle (they all have to hustle, gay, straight, male, female) and get on with people instead of bad-mouthing them, he could have continued to have a career in the US. I'm not saying it would have been an easy ride for him, being gay, but he could have made it work because he was given good opportunities. But he got all bitter and twisted about it and has done very little since except bitch and moan and slag people off. Not the way to go.
Excellent description of him. He gives himself no favours at all, it has nothing to do with him being gay that his career has gone down the dumper, the guy is a bitch and it gets around.
'rumour has it' prime example some really good cast members not a bad script, she totally ruined the film,her character range is awful.
she was the same character in that as in Bruce almighty.most of the friends cast landed so lucky that show really carried most of them it wasnt acting talent.
But the other pity is that what he's saying about the system is largely true and rarely gets said, but it will be dismissed as bitterness on his part and just 'ole Rupert whining again' about his lost opportunities. But then that's Hollywood, success is dependant for the most part on toeing the line and not rocking the boat.
But he does need to get over himself and find a new outlet for his rage!
However, she is a comedy actress and a bloody good one. I think she just plays to her strengths but I would agree she needs to change it up a bit every now and again to keep people interested.
When was the last time RE was in a hit film though........
Last time I saw him he was with Katie Price.......enough said really :eek:
As for Rupert Everett, I'm afraid I'll never see him in the same light again after Comic Relief Does The Apprentice. He was so bizarre on that, shrinking in horror from the camera and assuring everyone that he doesn't know anybody and can't do anything or bear to be watched.
I don't mean to be horrible to her, I actually like her, but it annoys me how she doesn't challenge herself and how she is so one dimensional.
Rupert Everett on the other hand I don't like all that much and (aside from Shrek!!!) I can't think of a film he's been in that I've liked. He seems very bitter to me.
Also, he has had some v.bad plastic surgery and totally messed with his face - a bad move for any actor who wants to be able to convey emotion!
Bad plastic surgery? OK, most can call him out for being a bitch. But bad plastic? Hehe, it's not bad plastic, it's his foul mouth you need to bother yourself over.
Don't think she would reject a deeper role.
I'm really confused as to why people dislike Jennifer Aniston. She was married to Pitt, they divorced and she's hardly complained about that, it's the press that can't move on. Jennifer just gets on with her life, doesn't insult someone and doesn't preach.
Why the need to always put her down?
She by saying nothing at all has made herself weak.
In a world of tittle-tattle saying nothing at all is deemed as being 'not playing the game'.
Jen and Brad were over when she told him she didn't want kids.
Angie, the devil?
Nah, she just more likely picked up the mess.
That's what you want from Hollywood, a beautiful woman you'd never really ever meet.
Jen hates her for more reasons than taking Brad away. Jen wanted a Hollywood superstar career.
No way can she compare.
That's possible, in which case Hollywood are to blame. She has shown she can do more when given the chance.
No, she hasn't.
Angelina Jolie is the most admired and most adored.
You may think she looks like a dog, you are only one of a few.
