I Just Became A Catherine Keener Fan

Introductory explanation: I hate, I hate, I hate celebrity gossip. I couldn't care less if Tom Cruise jumped on a couch. I only care that he was amazing in Collateral. Now, on to the main post.

I've always admired Catherine Keener as an actress, especially after seeing her ability to play such a terrible human being in Being John Malkovich and such a sweet soul in The 40 Year Old Virgin. But I just decided she is also awesome as a person. The following anecdote explains why:

Jennifer Aniston was amazed when Catherine Keener shielded her from a reporter on Today, after the journalist persistently questioned Aniston over reported wedding plans. Yesterday's interview grew tense when Jill Rappaport asked the former Friends actress to comment on reports talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is planning to throw an $8 million wedding for the star and her new boyfriend Vince Vaughn. The actresses were appearing on the show to promote their upcoming movie Friends with Money, but the interview inevitably turned to Aniston's personal life. Rappaport asked the intrusive question just moments after Aniston had expressed reluctance to talk about her private life. Keener snapped, "I thought you weren't going to go there?" But the reporter persisted, saying she was curious because she had never been to an $8 million wedding, only for Keener to bite back with, "And now you won't be." Aniston remained tight-lipped throughout the debacle.

  • Yay Catherine Keener! The media really need to get a life and shift their focus from the personal lives of celebrities to what's really important - movies!
