Jennifer Aniston has graced us with another stunning magazine cover! This time she is on the cover of the January 30th, 2015 issue of “The Hollywood Reporter.” It is a rather lengthy article, but having read through it, it’s most certainly worth a read. Jennifer reveals her struggles with dyslexia and anger, as well as talks about her film “Cake,” her Oscar nomination snub, favorite guilty pleasure television series, and so much more! You can also browse through some photos, which include the magazine cover and 6 outtakes from the photoshoot. It’s no doubt one of my all time favorite Jennifer shoots. Enjoy and have fun reading and browsing through the photos!

“The Hollywood Reporter” — This story first appeared in the Jan. 30 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.

Just last week, all around Hollywood the words “Jennifer Aniston” and “Oscar nomination” were being mentioned in the same breath. The Friends star had made a stunning switch to serious drama with Cake, a roughly $7 million indie release that opens Jan. 23; the movie had debuted at the Toronto Film Festival to terrific reviews for the actress, if not for the film itself; she had Harvey Weinstein’s former awards consultant, Lisa Taback, on the case; and a nomination looked teed up and ready to go.

After Selma (which landed just two noms, for picture and song), the Aniston rebuke was the dominant entertainment story du jour.

“I know a lot of people were sorry,” she says, speaking the day after the nominations. “I feel I’ve gotten such wonderful love — I had almost more phone calls and flowers than I did for any other nomination [in the past].”

She even joked about it a few days later on Ellen, calling herself “the number-one snubbed” (an honor that might perhaps belong to Selma director Ava DuVernay). She was exactly what millions of fans who have known her for two decades wanted her to be: funny and self-deprecating and exquisitely human.

Other actresses might have induced a tsunami of schadenfreude. But Aniston’s enduring appeal is rooted in the very fact that she can be hurt, again and again — whether by the Oscars or the Sexiest Man Alive — and she’ll endure. She’s rich and glamorous and famous, but she’s also one of us: a real person with a beating heart.
