Jennifer Aniston‘s successful career is the result of Hollywood hype — not entertaining, moneymaking movies — actor Rupert Everett told the BBC Wednesday.
Everett, 51, said that “if you look and analyze the careers of many, many stars, you’ll find that they’re mostly sustained by [show] business.
“You’ll find there’s lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they’ll stand with them for quite a long time,” the outspoken My Best Friend’s Wedding star said.

Everett used Aniston to illustrate his example of the show biz establishment turning a blind eye to lousy movies and sagging box office receipts, setting her up for more big roles, and the paydays that come along with them.
