With Friends Like These

Jennifer Aniston is suing two magazine publishers. She claims that they hired a photographer with a telephoto lens to scale a neighbor’s fence and take pictures of her sun bathing nude. She claims that the photos, along with the text that described her as “raunchy” was highly offensive. Now I read the article and I believe I’ve seen the photos. All of this brings two things to mind.

First, you know the neighbor has to be involved. How else would a magazine know that Aniston is sunbathing topless to begin with let alone exactly when? There had to be a phone call to one of the magazines, or the neighbor himself took the pictures. So I think the real thing here is for her to sue her neighbor.

Second, and the most important, who cares? I don’t mean who cares about her privacy being invaded, I mean who cares about seeing her naked. She attractive, definitely, and I wouldn’t throw her out of bed. If she asked me to, I would do a photo shoot with her. So it’s nothing about her. But if people are so damn interested in seeing a naked woman, there are enough websites out there with women of every size, shape and color. I jut don’t see the draw of a grainy, zoomed in picture of a woman lying topless on a lounge chair.

There are enough women out there willing to pose nude that publishers shouldn’t bother with the “celebrity” sneak peek. It’s burned Penthouse with the Anna Kournakova photos and it’s going to burn these two as well.
