Jen and Kate Hug it Out

Kate Hudson bumped into Jennifer Aniston yesterday in Los Angeles and the two exchanged a friendly hug.

Aniston is certainly no stranger to hardship after battling through her high-profile split from Brad Pitt just last year, so was the queen of "The Break Up" giving Hudson some consoling after a recent split from husband of six years Chris Robinson? One can only speculate.

Either way, that's what friends are for!

17. JEN WAS ON ONE OF THE LONGEST RUNNING SIT COMS EVER, HELLO PETA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? KATE HUDSON AND JEN BOTH HAVE MORE MOVIES THAN BRAD OR ANGELINA. IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMEONE BEING MADE BY SOMEONE ELSES FAME.... THEN LOOK AT BRAD !! THESE TWO ARE GREASY LOW LIFES. IF YOU WOULD READ PEOPLE MAGAZINE INSTEAD OF TABLOIDS YOU WOULD KNOW THE FACTS AND NOT SOME CRAP MADE UP BY PEOPLE WHO ARE DESPERATE TO MAKE A BUCK. JEN WANTED KIDS.... IT WAS JUST THAT SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A PROJECT AND WANT ED TO WAIT UNTIL IT WAS FINISHED. BRAD HAD TO HAVE AN EXCUSE AS TO WHY HE LEFT THE AMERICAS SWEETHEART!!!!!!

18. Sheila, yeah she was in a long running sitcom, but she would've ended up just like the rest of the cast which is in the B-rated state had she not marry Brad, she was only famous here in america, and after her marriage she was well known all around the world. oh, and as for the comment they made more movies than B&A. please check out their profiles, you will find on eonline. you will find out B&A made more movies than manisten and hudsen. So get your facts straight before calling others name!!!!!

20. Jen is a great actress and Brad didn't make her career, she was doing fine without him. Who are they? Who are all YOU judgmental losers????

21. Are you on drugs!!!!!! Jennifer Anniston was on Friends way before anybody ever heard the name of Brad Pitt. And way before anybody ever heard of Angelina Smangelina. Oh yeah, Brad Pitt made Jennifer Anniston's hair famous!!!!!!! Do you listen to yourself??? Does that even make sense or sound viable??? You should really know of what you speak before you open your mouth because if you don't, you really come off as being a very bad judge of the subject and just look like a dope.

23. Sorry #10 PETA, but you're wrong. Jen's hair and style was being discussed when she was on Friends and dating Tate Donovan. Brad Pitt did not make her a star.

No one seems to have a probelm with Kate Hudsons breakup only because her husband is not as attractive as Brad Pitt. However, Owen Wilson is the new Angelina Jolie. Think about it...married people...met on movie sets...one thing led to another.

I agree JA is more famous than her other Friends because of her much publicized relationship/marriage/divorce with Brad Pitt. If not for Brad, nobody outside of North America would know or care about what or who she does.

JA made one decent movie, The Good Girl. Lisa Kudrow has made several good films including Happy Ending, but she wasn't married to Brad. Kate Hudson has the Hollywood pedigree, she has been "the one to watch" ever since her debut in that medicore film Almost Famous.

I've seen photos of JA and KH without makeup, they are looking average looking just like their accting abilities....AVERAGE.

Both these actress are fortunate to either be related or connected to BIG celebrities; otherwise they would still be "Almost Famous".

27. JA was popular from being on FRIENDS way before BP came along in her life. He did not "make" her a star, she did that on her own. Give the girl a break, we all make mistakes and we all make bad decisions. The only difference is that their mistakes and bad decisions are greatly publicized (way too much). A lot of people go through messy break-ups, and being publicly dragged through the mud is a price they have to pay for being a celebrity.

All you JA fans, be honest; the sitcom Friends was sometimes entertaining, but it was no Will and Grace, Fraser, or Seinfeld.
Jennifer Anniston is no more talented that the rest of the Friends cast, Lisa Kudrow was and is the most talented of the cast.

Brad Pitt catapulted into super stardom after Legends of the Fall (he was beautiful), Interview with a Vampire and Seven.....all on the big screen and box office successes.

The timing was perfect, Ms Anniston was fortunate enough to hitch her wagon onto to Brad's increasingly rising star. If it were not for him, nobody would care about what Jen is upto.
It's like the handsome captian of the football team/everybody's all American dating an average looking girl instead of the head cheerleader/homecoming queen. This average looking girl would enjoy an increase in popularity, she may even appear more attractive to the rest of the guys, and be the envy of some of the girls or a hero to semi-attractive women with mediocre talent. While the rest of us, without envy or malice is forever wondering how the heck she was able to snare such a babe, someone so obviously out of her league....physically and professionally.

We'd care as much as we do about David Schwimmer, Matt Perry, or Courtney Cox. They would have to be in rehab, therapy, or coming out of the closet to get our attention.

If it were not for Brad, Jen would have a tough time staying in the spotlight. All ready her star is fading, which is why the "engagement rumor started".
