A novel out to bite Jen Aniston?

A fictional book supposedly based on the said blonde actress, and is said to have bitten and will continue to bite her behind-- hard.

According to New York Daily News, Aniston's ex-flatmate, fellow actress Nancy Balbirer, wrote a book called The Underminer: Or, the Best Friend Who Casually Destroys Your Life. It is supposedly about a girl named "Jane" who landed a sitcom about friends living together in a place called the Village, presumably New York's West Village.


In the book, Jane got liposuction, a nose job, and hairline adjustment when she moved to Hollywood to find fame. Jane gets a role in the hit sitcom first, then later on her best friend (aka Nancy) gets the thumbs up as well, but Jane soon gets her fired 3 hours later.

"A few hours later, she was inexplicably fired, yet paid in full, plus an extra week's pay, despite never filming a scene."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the similarities.

But Nancy swears that Jane does not automatically mean Jen. Despite sending a letter to correct this mix-up, Aniston's reps are still offended? Quoting Steven Huvane:


"Jennifer does know this woman Nancy, and she did live with her for a little bit, but did not live rent-free. The girl did try out for a role on Friends, but the girl just didn't get it.

"She just sounds like an opportunist who's using Jennifer to get attention. This is mean-spirited."


And ironically... "film rights have already been bought up by the company started by Vince Vaughn, Aniston's current boyfriend. "

Is this a spiteful revenge of an ex-mate? A harmless novel? A vehicle to fame? Even a conspiracy between bf and ex-bf?

What say you, comrades?

Harry Potter Book 7 Foretold?

July 30th 2006 01:39
WARNING: Possible Spoilers Ahead!

A Grim Ending for Potter?
A Grim Ending for Potter?
I've been growing increasingly dissappointed with every Harry Potter book that came out since after Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. But it seems that the yet untitled seventh and final book of the Potter saga would be a tad interesting.

According to The Guardian Unlimited, J.K. Rowling (pronounced "Rolling") gave a quite revealing interview to teatime chat hosts Richard and Judy (which I suppose translates to The 9am Show and Mornings with Kerry Anne here in Australia?).

She says that there's a big possibility that the much loved and hated Harry Potter would die in the final book.

Hoorah then. According to the 5th book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, only either Harry or Voldemort can die. Because if Harry dies in the 7th book, would that mean Voldie lives?

Muggles rejoice then: This looks like a promising sequel as Lord Voldemort and the Aftermath of Harry Potter.

Meanwhile, according to this source, at least two characters would die. If she kills Harry to prevent future books being written about Potter in the name of another author, who else would she kill? Ginny?
