Don’t feel sorry for Jennifer Aniston ...she has a life most of us can only dream of

As star turns 50, let’s accept she’s happy being rich and successful

a woman is only complete if she has a bloke and kids. She has made fun of her Poor Jen image and said how far away it is from who she really is.

In a recent interview she said, “What brings me happiness? I have a great job. I have a great family. I have great friends. I have no reason to feel otherwise.”

But despite this – and the fact she’s rich, successful and living the kind of glamorous, exciting life that’s beyond most of our wildest dreams – we insist on believing she must be unhappy. Can you imagine how annoying that must be? Her marriage to Brad Pitt ended in 2005... she has endured nearly 15 years of unwanted sympathy. But don’t start feeling sorry for her for that now! Just stop it. It’s her 50th birthday, so let’s cancel the pity party and celebrate instead. No one ever say Poor Jen again, unless it’s the start of a sentence that ends “another drink”.

And let’s all agree to be excited about what she’s going to do next – as opposed to who. Happy birthday, Jen.
