Jennifer Aniston to Get Basted

February 6, 2009


With her ex-hubby building a soccer team's worth of children — six so far! — Jennifer Aniston is going the opposite route in a new movie in which she'll play a woman struggling to get pregnant for the first time.

Jennifer has signed on to costar with Jason Bateman in The Baster. The comedy centers around a fella (Jason) who learns that his best pal (Jen) is planning to have a baby through artificial insemination. So he does what any normal person would do... he replaces her donor's semen with his own so that he's secretly the real father!

Believe it or not, this isn't the only artificial insemination comedy in the works for an A-lister. Jennifer Lopez is set to play a fertility-challenged woman in Plan B, which is about a single woman who resorts to modern technology to get pregnant only to find the man of her dreams on the day she learns she's pregnant. Last year's comedy Baby Mama — with Amy Poehler's playing a surrogate to Tina Fey's single gal — perhaps sparked the trend as it was a box office success earning $64.3 million worldwide.

Jennifer will also produce Baster, which begins shooting in the spring. But for now you can catch her on the big screen in He's Just Not That Into You, which opens today.

This film is an interesting choice for Jen, who, as Star reported last year, has plans to start her own family — perhaps with beau John Mayer.

Do you find these fertility plotlines a turn off — or do you think they're representative of the times? Are you turned off by the movie title? Talk back.

Jennifer is pathetic. If she really wanted to have a baby she would have got one a long time ago but probably did not want to RUIN her body. She could have adopted but I think she is too selfish. She is too much into herself to be able to love a child the way Angelina does. Many people criticize Angelina but I think she is a very sincere, caring woman who truly cares for her children and Brad and all those less fortunate. Jennifer is a no talent, not so pretty loser.

The airbrush still have this old woman looking shitty!Hate Maniston!!! Brad and all of the men who used her must be happy for getting it cheap and having dumped the biggest looser. John Mayer has moved on to a better pasture!

I think Brad should donate sperm to Jen,for her baby.Most of you think Brad and Angie are sooooo happy.
They try hard to give that perception,butI dont believe they are as happy as you would like to believe.I think Brad is happy about the children,but not about the woman he's with.

Boring! Jen is a boring mediocre actress.

I am so bored with these fertility / baby /desperation / adoption plotlines. Please, someone, make them stop!!!

She SAYS she wants kids, but I have never believed her. If she does have children, she will be doing what she thinks is "right," in other words, following the status quo.

Who cares, women struggles everyday and is not getting paid nor recognition.
