We all knew someone like this in school - that pathetic, socially-awkward wretch who would make friends with the cool kids by buying them stuff (never realizing, apparently, that the cool kids were only being nice to them because they wanted more stuff). Not everyone, it appears, gives up that ploy once junior high comes to a close - some find it so effective that they continue the practice well into adulthood, even middle-age. Jennifer Aniston, I'm sad to report, is one such loser.
Jennifer, it seems, has raised buying buddies to an art-form. The actress, who hasn't done squat worth mentioning since Friends went off the air, has become well-known in Hollywood for setting up lavish vacations, inviting people to go with her and then paying for everything - even clothes. Said a source:
She's like the sugar daddy everyone wishes they had, except she's a woman! You could call her sugar mama!
Or you could call her a sad excuse for a human being.
Of course, Jennifer has found plenty of people willing to pretend they like her in exchange for trips and swag. Courteney Cox and David Arquette were recently photographed hanging out in Hawaii with Aniston on Jen's dime, and such lesser-known individuals as Andrea Bendwald, Kristin Hahn and Jennifer's yoga instructor have also accepted her irresistible invitations. One wonders, given the success of Jennifer's efforts at friend-buying, why she doesn't just try the same thing on men. Hell, she could probably nab Brandon Davis for the price of lunch and a pedicure.
