14 DAY TRIAL // Reality star Kim Kardashian got the entire world buzzing with her racy spread in Paper Magazine, but actress Jennifer Aniston would like to point out an aspect you might have forgotten: when it comes to being a racy cover girl, she was the original.
When she’s not pushing her Oscar campaign for the role in “Cake,” Aniston is promoting her hilarious cameo in “Horrible Bosses 2,” which is now in theaters.
This is how the gem above came to happen. You can find Aniston’s comment in the video below.
Kim Kardashian nearly broke the Internet with her famous asset
The self-imposed assignment for Paper Magazine was to #BreakTheInternet by having Kim on the cover, slipping out of a sparkly black dress, her back to the camera and her most generous and famous asset on full display.
The issue was a complete success, though, as you can see, the Internet hasn’t been broken just yet. What is certain however is that there are very few people still left on this earth who haven’t heard of Paper Magazine: this is the kind of power that Kim has.
The spread was shot by famed French photographer Jean-Paul Goude, with Kim being so eager to work with him that she even agreed to do it for free. She is also the one who suggested to go all out there with the spread, because it was “art.”
In a recent interview, the reality star confirmed reports that this was like a “last hurrah” before she became pregnant again, a celebration of her body and how fit it was again, after giving birth to daughter North West in the summer of 2013.
Jennifer Aniston did it first
On the red carpet at the premiere of “Horrible Bosses 2,” Extra TV caught up with Aniston and asked her the kind of silly / fun questions you can expect to hear asked at such an event, where the talent doesn’t have the time to really talk to the media and perhaps tackle a more serious topic.
One of them was also about Kim’s Paper cover, with the reporter bringing to Aniston’s attention that she actually did it first, on the cover of Rolling Stone.
“Way [before Kim], yeah. I was an original. Right [I was a pioneer]. Sorry Kim K,” Jennifer laughed, playing into the reporter’s jokes.
Chances are she doesn’t even know who “Kim K” is because the reporter doesn’t mention the Kardashian name at all, and Aniston has repeatedly said that she doesn’t keep up with the gossip.
A breather from the Oscar campaign
For some weeks now, there’s been a lot of buzz about Aniston landing her first Oscar nomination for “Cake,” in the Best Actress category. In the indie, Aniston plays a crash-car survivor who looks nothing like her usual glamourous self, with her people centering her Oscar campaign on her “dramatic” physical transformation.
In all honesty, the transformation is not “dramatic” at all (not like, say, Charlize Theron’s was in “Monster”), but it is surprising.
The promo trail for “Horrible Bosses 2” is like a breather for Aniston, before she starts doing the rounds for that Oscar nomination. It’s probably safe to assume she won’t be talking about Kim K’s backside then, because that’s not the kind of conversation you want to have when you’re trying to make your peers see and recognize you as a solid actress.
