Jennifer Aniston fires back at Bill O'Reilly's baby-making barbs
Jennifer Aniston counter punches Bill O'Reilly, who slammed her comments about how cool it is that women can have babies without Mr. Right as being "destructive to our society"On his Fox News show, O'Reilly accused her of "diminishing the role of the dad."
In response to his attack, Aniston tells People:"Of course, the ideal scenario for parenting is obviously two parents of a mature age. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on earth. And, of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who've not yet found their Bill O'Reilly, I'm just glad science has provided a few other options."
As if we needed another reason to love this woman.
Aniston, who is currently starring in "The Switch," a romantic comedy about a woman who gets pregnant using a sperm donor, told press recently that women no longer have to wait for the perfect guy to start a family.
"Women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child," the actress told reporters during the junket for her film. "Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere."
Do you agree with Jennifer or Bill? Before you answer, remember that Jen looks much better naked. If that carries any weight with you.
The L.A. premiere of "Switch" is next Monday (Aug. 16) and we can't wait to formally salute Jennifer Aniston, our heroine!

I wouldn't have a baby with Jennifer her personality no matter how naked she gets makes her unattractive to me.. and i have low standards.
I don't agree with either of them but the question to be asked is not if it can be done but whats best for the child... kids are not purse dogs you can leave at the pound or sitters for 50% of their early years.
I totally agree with Mr. O'Reilly. Aniston is certainly diminishing the importance of a father's role! Children should only be raised in single-parent families when there is NO OTHER option. And, Aniston's situation is much different than the average woman's. She has resources that afford her the luxury of being able to parent much more easily than most. Dad's DO get a bum rap (the good ones, not deadbeats). Yes, Jennifer, you may have "other options", but that doesn't make them good ones!
"Do you agree with Jennifer or Bill? Before you answer, remember that Jen looks much better naked. If that carries any weight with you."
Ms. Snead, are you saying that you've seen Mr. O'Reilly naked?
I agree with Jennifer. Bill has a point to a certain extent, but Jennifer is right. While it is best for a child to be raised with two loving, GOOD parents, a child can be raised well with just one, loving, GOOD parent. Jen is talking about the older women (like herself) whose clock is running down and who want kids and are ready financially and emotionally. These fatherless kids could end up with a father later on like Maddox Jolie-PITT. Or else they might just have positive, good male role models around, like uncles or male friends.
Must be a slow news day for O'Reilly if he has to go picking on Jen Aniston. Anyone with any logic knows what Aniston meant. Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly needs to tone it down a little and start commentating on something more newsworthy.
I think if the premise is that raising a child alone is as easy as raising a child in a two parent household, that is a fantasy. It doesn't, however, diminish fatherhood, as Bill O'Reilly states. One idea doesn't automatically follow the other.
I;m sure a child who had jennifer as their mother would be amazing and very lucky you go jen
There are some wonderful fathers out there, and their children are lucky. But in many cases they are better off without their dads. 2/3 of all domestic violence against children come from the fathers.
I hope JA finds a Prince Charming and has her babies, if she wants them. If the has a baby without a present father, I hope she'll have a male figure, a friend, close by to take part in the child's life.
She should be thanking him for all the free publicity he's giving her bland looking movie. Maybe O'Reilly serectly has money invested in the flick?
Jennifer is stupid-just curious what is her education background. Let's see how easy it would be to have a child as a single mother if she had a min. wage job or on welfare. She is so far out of the loop of real America-why does the media give this dimwit a forum? So tired of her-she has issues-cannot keep a man for one. Don't bring a poor child into your messed up life-it would be another Hollywood kid hot mess.
