She can't have had that much surgery.

Aniston may have dated more guys but I guess it's based on the images they built their careers on. Jolie's had edgier roles and a bunch of nude scenes, she's got so much ink done, and the Billy Bob thing was creepy. The most from Aniston during that period was a bunch of pokey nipples on Thursday nights.

She was hotter pre-surgery.

Aniston in a long shot (IMO...although the poll is close). She's the only reason I watched Friends for the first few seasons. Must of been a cold set....

So it IS true, smoking DOES make you look younger!

Phillip Morris should pay millions for her to become their spokesperson.

Both aesthetically and talent-wise; like if Dabney Coleman were Kate Winslet's dad.

Ann Curry is one anti-septically attractive middle-aged woman.

I have to go with Angelina Jolie.... though as a woman, my vote likely doesn't count as much

Edit: after looking.. it seems I am not the only female voting in this manner!

JA is totally average looking. If I was to walk by her I wouldn't even notice her. Angelina Jolie on the other hand you will totally notice her because she has a unique look that you will never run across a person that look like her on the street.

For me Aniston for sure!!!

IMO Jolie is very overrated for being the sexiest woman alive (even in her prime) I mean I wouldnt say no, but I dont find her that attractive like other people would.

If I may ask: Which streets, specifically, do you walk down?

In my personal experience, it seems that women are FAR more into Jolie than any of the men I know. I know women that are practically obsessed with her.

Angelina. and there is no contest. I've met Jennifer Aniston in person and i didn't recognize her at first b/c I thought she was some random old lady. Then I saw Brad Pitt walk up and talk to her.

This was around 2004. When he was cheating on her with Angelina Jolie. Maybe it isn't a fair comparison since I have never met Angelina Jolie but the fact that Brad Pitt dumped Jennifer Aniston and remains with Jolie has to count for something.

Gotta go with Jen these days. While we're on the subject, did anyone read this recent article by by Bill Simmons? Here's the part about Aniston:

"Why can't Jennifer Aniston find a man?"

On the surface, this has nothing to do with sports. Just bear with me. Aniston became an A-list star thanks to "Friends." When the show folded in 2004, unlike everyone else on the cast, she managed to remain an A-List star despite making the following movies.

"Along Came Polly" (2004): Atrocious.

"Derailed" (2005): Especially painful because Aniston tried to be sexy and mysterious in it.

"Rumor Has It" (2005): Even my wife hasn't seen this one.

"Friends With Money" (2006): Overrated indie film, but she's good in it.

"The Break-Up" (2006): Did well because Vince Vaughn was red-hot at the time. Watchable once. Unwatchable a second time. Gets points for using Chicago nicely.

"Management" (2008): Was this even released?

"Marley & Me" (2008): Her biggest triumph. Although they could have made this movie with Betty White playing Owen Wilson's wife and it still would have made $100 million.

"He's Just Not That Into You" (2009): My wife's review: "This was an affront to all women."

"Love Happens" (2009): Bombed. By the way, one of the five worst titles ever.

"The Bounty Hunter" (2010): More carnage.

"The Switch" (2010): Released today, although it looks so impossibly bad that "Arrested Development" fans are thinking about rioting outside Jason Bateman's house.

That's seven years, 11 movies, eight clunkers, one above-average (for her) performance and only two solid box-office successes. Two for 11? Certainly nothing to put her on par with Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon. The other "Friends" stars faded into B- and C-list obscurity (or in Matt LeBlanc's case, F-list), so why didn't she?

The short answer: Because of the Angelina/Brad/Jennifer love triangle, which is like Brett Favre's comeback/retirement/comeback routine multiplied by 10, but has been cruising along for twice as long. The saga evolved in various forms: the betrayal itself; the aftermath, when Aniston licked her wounds as "Brangelina" took off; her futile search for a bounce-back boyfriend; the Brangelina clan expanding; everyone feeling worse and worse for Aniston, with her finally admitting that she was still bummed out; the Brangelina clan expanding again; Aniston's weird dalliance with the much younger John Mayer, which ended when he talked out of school about her; the Brangelina clan expanding again; Aniston approaching her 40th birthday and wanting a baby; the Brangelina clan producing twins; Aniston hitting 40 with no baby or husband; Aniston passing 40 with no baby or husband; and now we're here.

People can't get enough of this stuff. Us Weekly throws Aniston on its cover every few weeks -- and if they can work Angelina into the split-cover, even better -- just because Aniston resonates with women like no other celebrity. No matter how wealthy or famous or good-looking she is, the nuts and bolts of Aniston's "tragic" story could have happened to anyone: She lost her scummy husband to a seductive co-worker. Maybe it was the worst thing that ever happened to her personally, but professionally? Godsend. She became America's adorable little victim for seven years until Bullock finally pushed her aside. People don't read Us Weekly to see pictures of happily married couples. They read for drama. Tragedy. Betrayal. Acrimony. They read to see someone's life spinning out of control, or to compare two people wearing the same dress, or to see someone taking out the garbage who's "just like us."

Aniston's life resonates with that demographic better than anyone. Now she's 41, still hunting for a man, her ovaries rumbling like Earl Campbell, but we're all a little confused because … I mean, how could Jennifer Aniston, of all people, not find a man? How could someone that attractive need a friend to set her up on dates? What the hell is going on here? Is she secretly super-annoying? Is she terrible in bed? Does she have bad breath or bad hygiene? Are her standards simply too high? Does she still pine for Pitt and any potential mate can sense it?

You're not going to believe this, but I have a theory …

I think it's all a farce. I think she gravitates toward guys who could never be a potential husband (seriously, John Mayer?) and FWBs (friends with benefits) over actually finding herself the right match. And here's why: The longer this drags on, the longer she stays on the A list. Staying single, ending up with the wrong guys, pining for a baby but never having one … career move, career move, career move. Keeps her on magazine covers. Keeps people saying "I feel bad for Aniston, Brangelina really screwed her over; her life's never been the same." Keeps a built-in publicity buzz for every crappy movie she promotes. Really, it's genius.

Swinging this around to sports (and thank God, you were getting nervous): The Aniston dynamic resembles a great athlete who couldn't win a ring in his prime, but now time is running out and he only has a couple more chances. In sports, we love when this happens! I don't remember the intimate details of Joe Montana's last few seasons (or Isiah Thomas, Scottie Pippen, Keith Hernandez, whomever), but I remember everything about Karl Malone's last few seasons. And Barkley. And Elway. And Marino. And Elgin Baylor. And Ray Bourque. And Gary Payton. And now, LaDainian Tomlinson and Steve Nash. The last stage of their careers became compelling simply because they wanted a ring and we wanted them to win one.

Aniston transferred that same dynamic to the Hollywood world. Say she remarried in 2006 to one of those Rande Gerber-type rich guys who owns cool bars that are in hip hotels. And let's say they had a kid in 2008. And another one this year. By 2010, would anyone care about Jennifer Aniston? NO!!!!!!!! Only if she was making good movies. Which, obviously, she doesn't want to do. She's happy being a likable celebrity with decent comic timing who plays herself in every movie (with only her hairstyle and co-star changing). I think that's intentional, too. She could have taken more acting chances -- remember how good she was in "Office Space," or as the sexually frustrated wife in "She's The One" -- but seems much more interested in protecting her brand. You can't differentiate between Aniston when she's being interviewed, acting in a movie or staring at you on a magazine cover anymore. It's all the same. That's the way she wants it.

I say she's much smarter than we think. Unlike with sports, she knows it's better for her career if she never gets that ring. She will continue dating co-stars, bad-boy musicians and people with lousy hair for the foreseeable future. You watch. So feel sorry for Steve Nash, but don't feel sorry for Jennifer Aniston. She's laughing all the way to the bank.

In other news, Aniston's latest movie bombed. How does she keep getting all these movie roles?
