Jennifer Aniston pays homage to the legendary Barbra Streisand–and proves that everyone loves a funny girl, in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on newsstands August 17. In the editorial, Jennifer strikes classic Streisand poses, illustrating iconic scenes from Funny Girl, What’s Up, Doc?, and more. In the interview, she opens up about being in the spotlight, finding humor in anything, and her career plans. Jennifer stars in the upcoming comedy The Switch, with Jason Bateman, Horrible Bosses, featuring Colin Farrell, and Just Go with It with Adam Sandler and Nicole Kidman.
Jennifer with short hair, wow! She looks amazing… “People laugh at me,” Jennifer tells Harper’s. “Sometimes I know why, and sometimes I don’t. But I can pretty much find humor in anything. That is a necessary part of life. I don’t want to say laughter is healing, because it sounds corny, but it’s a release.”
On what she’s learned from Barbra Streisand, Jennifer says, “You don’t have to stop at one thing. You can do it all if you want to. “Barbra inspires me because there isn’t anything she hasn’t done that she wanted to do,” Jennifer says, “especially as a female in the time when her generation was prime. She’s a true renaissance woman. . . I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don’t do it again soon, I’m going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design.”

Oh my God, she looks so beautiful with short hair. And different! I didn’t even recognize her at first.
I love her long hair, it’s gorgeous. But I think she could totally pull off a really short look.
Leila: I ttl agree. Her hair is so pretty so I can see why she keeps it long, but she has the face for short hair! looks really nice on her, but she’d never do it. 😉
she looks gorgeous although i always trough she has a funny face
Jen better not ever cut that hair! She can play around with wigs but she knows zillions of women carry pics of her to salon hoping to be transformed. (Hairstylist=magician=NOT!)
I hate to say this though, but Jen has a fantastic career, but I hope she falls in love soon. There, I said it. She’s gorgeous, has a great body and career but I feel a twinge of pity looking at her because she hasn’t found that special someone yet. I hate that I’m saying it, but I’ve always been on Team Jen and I hope she gets the love part down soon. Yuck, I hate said that…
I guess I’m one of the fews who thinks she’s not beautiful at all. She’s got a body to die for, she dresses very well and her make-up and hair are always classy and polished, but her facial features are odd (and were even odder back in the day).
Having that said, sometimes a woman that’s not objectively beautiful can be just as sexy and interesting as one who is, or even more (I’m thinking Sarah Jessica Parker as well).
gi: I guess I agree, I mean beautiful beautiful beautiful might be about having perfect proportions which is something I suppose Jennifer and SJP don’t have, but I think they are both beautiful, interesting, sexy, etc. Actually, they are more attractive to my eye, because they are more interesting to look at than just plan *beautiful* if that makes sense. There is something to be said about having character in one’s face, I think. Cookie cutter beauty gets boring. And with Jennifer, I totally agree that she REALLY knows how to dress and work what she has, which is why I want her to write a tell all on that topic, not on brad though. Yawn. 😉
Yes, I agree with you. A cute, pretty face is more forgettable and less interesting than her kind of face. I wouldn’t call her “beautiful” though, because well, to me she doesn’t fit in that category. I was thinking about one woman that’s to me both beautiful and interesting looking: Juliette Binoche.

Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche, now that was some hot couple :-). Of course in these things of what’s beautiful or not, it’s kind of difficult to be completely objective…
