名人老友安妮斯顿:2007最受欢迎女星Jennifer Aniston: the No. 1 celebrity friend颇有“观众缘”的安妮斯顿今年依然是星光璀璨,这要归功于她靓丽的外表、迷人的身材,还是内在的品质呢?
Jennifer Aniston was and will always be our No. 1 Friend. And forget about what the tabloids had to say about her breakup with Mr. Pitt; we love her hair, her face, her incredibly fit body, and her down-to-earth attitude. Jennifer‘s later film roles after Friends and permanent seat among the Hollywood elite prove that she was undoubtedly Friends’ breakout star. Thanks to her work in the film The Break-Up (2006), Jennifer picked up the 2007 People‘s Choice Award4 for Favorite Female Movie Star. Her allure could also be clearly seen on the newsstand. Jennifer is the celebrity who boosts magazine sales in America. According to Forbes’ first-ever survey of the top-selling celebrity face this year, Jennifer Aniston is the most-liked cover model. The magazine found that there was a rise in sales whenever the Emmy-Awards5-winning actress appeared on the cover page of the surveyed six weekly celebrity magazines. Her appearance sold a collective five million copies between January and June this year!
詹妮弗·安妮斯顿曾经是、也将永远是我们头号的老朋友。请忘掉花边小报上那些关于她与布拉德。皮特分手的消息吧!我们喜欢她的秀发,她的脸蛋,她那无比健美的身材,还有她那脚踏实地的态度。勿庸置疑,詹妮弗在《老友记》之后扮演的电影角色和在好莱坞精英榜中赢得的一席之地都证明她已成功突破了《老友记》。电影《分手男女》(2006)帮她摘下了2007年全美观众票选大奖的“最受欢迎电影女星奖”。
她的魅力还“伸向”了书报摊。在美国,她是能够提升杂志销量的名人。根据《福布斯》杂志今年首次进行的年度最畅销明星脸的调查显示,詹妮弗。安妮斯顿是最受读者青睐的封面模特。《福布斯》分别对6本明星娱乐周刊作了调查,发现一旦有杂志以这位艾美奖得主作封面,其销量就会攀升,今年1月到6月,以她作封面的杂志总共卖出了500万份!
