No fare! Jen’s cabby diss

-

JENNIFER Aniston needs to put on the brakes. When People magazine asked the “Friends” star if she will add cologne to her line of fragrances, Aniston sniffed, “I’m not big on it. I’ve probably got [post-traumatic stress disorder] from cab rides in New York City that ended in pure suffocatio­n.” If you ask us, confirmed Angeleno Aniston — who last lived in New York in 2011 for exactly the length of time it took her to figure out that husband Justin Theroux’s West Village walk-up didn’t have valet — should take her snooty views about our cabbies back to Bel Air with her. And while we’re quite sure that Aniston’s yoga mat doesn’t stink, given the choice between the scent of a yellow cab or her steaming superiorit­y, we know which we’d choose. (When, by the way, was the last time she rode in one of these supposed taxis? We only ever recall seeing her around town blocking traffic in a chauffeure­d Escalade). On Friday, New York’s taxi drivers responded to the Hollywood star, with Allan Fromberg of the Taxi and Limousine Commission telling Page Six, “Hundreds of thousands of people get in and out of NYC’s yellow cabs each day. Some leave behind umbrellas and cellphones, and some leave a bit too much cologne.” Fromberg added, “My advice to Ms. Aniston would be for her to create a yellow taxi-themed cologne that is as subtle and sophistica­ted as she is, and call it ‘ Common Scents’!” Or, perhaps, Aniston should, unlike New York taxi drivers, stay in her lane.
