Jennifer Aniston - Jennifer Aniston Should Marry George Clooney

Jennifer Aniston has joked that she should marry George Clooney because the pair are Hollywood's most famous singletons.

Jennifer Aniston has joked that she should marry George Clooney because they are Hollywood's most famous singletons.

The 'Just Go With It' actress is so bored with the endless speculation about her love life that she thinks she should call up Hollywood's most famous bachelor George - who is also a close friend of her ex-husband Brad Pitt - and propose.

She said: "That would definitely shut up the world! I could call up George, say, 'Hun, let's just get hitched and have kids.' I should take George to lunch and we can figure out how to put an end to all this. Ha! Well, no."

The 'Up In The Air' actor is currently in a relationship with Italian model-and-actress Elisabetta Canalis, while Jennifer is not dating anyone.

The 42-year-old star would not rule out getting married again, but she insists it is also important to love yourself, and at the moment her pals - including her former 'Friends' co-star Courteney Cox - are the most important people in her life.

Jennifer told this month's Red magazine: "You have to have a balance in life. You have to also have your own personal love: what inspires you, what excites you when you wake up in the morning.

"Where would you be without friends? Where would you be without people to pick you up when you need lifting? As we know, myself and a lot of my friends, we've come from homes that were far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends, and vice versa. Your own chosen family. There's nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing."

George Clooney Joke Was a Bad Move, Jennifer Aniston

Posted by Cynthia Dermody on April 10, 2011

Jennifer Aniston joked recently to UK's Red Women magazine that she should just marry George Clooney and have his babies to shut everyone up about their chronically single statuses. And of course everyone's writing about this and laughing ha-ha and even thinking, hmm, that's not a bad idea. We'd love for them to get together! Even if it is a joke!

But um, Jennifer, didn't you forget about something in making that little jibe? Like, that George Clooney does have a girlfriend, one Elisabeth Canalis, who I imagine might be a little ticked at you right now trying to make moves on her boyfriend.

I know she's not, but really, Jennifer should know better than to make a joke about something like this ... to a magazine. That will be read by people, especially those working at the tabloids. These reporters are not capable of recognizing humor and sarcasm, or they are trained to just disregard it.

They are going to seize on this "serious" comment like a shark let loose in Lake Como. She'll keep insisting it was just a joke, but tomorrow some two-page article featuring a celebrity psychologist will provide a detailed Freudian analysis of her and her comment, saying it was anything but a joke, that is was really a subconsciously suppressed desire masked as a humor in a woman trying desperately to make sense of a lonely, unfulfilled desire to find a man.

And now she's got Elisabeth Canalis mad at her too. Or maybe that was her goal, because of the whole Iggy Pop comparison thing on Twitter last year? Canalis claimed it was all a big misunderstanding, but maybe she knows something we don't.

I love you, Jennifer, I really do. (And not for nothin' but you and George would make some pretty fab babies.) I know you feel like you have to keep convincing the world that you are happy without a man, but encouraging those tabloids unnecessarily is not the way to do it. So do yourself a favor, love, and please save the jokes for the rom-coms.
