Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Ginnifer Goodwin premiered He's Just Not That Into You this week, and they recently sat down with Marie Claire to order a few drinks and chat about their movie and their own love lives. Jen even chatted about saving old voicemails from her husband and boyfriends and how the truth always comes out after a breakup. Here's more:
- On lame breakup lines:
Drew: "I hate getting 'It's not you, it's me,' because I'm never gonna learn and grow from that. I don't want to live on lies and smoke and mirrors and horseshit. No way."
Marie Claire: "So you'd really rather have people say something hurtful?"
Jen: "Well, in a way — I mean, before it gets to desperation time. Before it gets to 'I throw you and the baby and the bathwater out,' let's see if we can work through that."
Marie Claire: "You know what? I'd rather be lied to."
Jen: "Oh, I disagree. I want the truth, because it eventually comes out anyway, and then everybody looks like an as*hole." - On technology and relationships:
Drew: "I remember when I first started dating, the big thing was RadioShack answering machines. It was such a huge deal to run home and check your messages. And when you could actually check from another phone? That was the craziest thing ever!"
Jen: "I still have the cassette tapes of messages from my first boyfriend, my second boyfriend, my husband. . . It's like saving love letters."
To hear what the girls do after a breakup, as well as more photos from the magazine, just read more.
- On what they do after a breakup:
Drew: "Head straight for the carbs. Macaroni and cheese. Kraft. Deluxe. The kind with the cheese you squeeze out of a bag that takes at least a month to pass through your body."
Jen: "I don't eat a lot. I go straight to my girlfriends, though."
Ginnifer: The first thing I do is call my little sister. She drops everything . . . I'll call and say, "I'm breaking up right now, come get me. She absolutely has picked me up from hookups, with coffee in hand."
Jen: "Girlfriends — nothing like 'em, man."
It seems like Jen, Drew, and Ginnifer all came away with a new bunch of girlfriends to share their loves and heartbreaks with in the process of making their movie, which hits theaters on Friday.

I love how Jennifer is so damn honest. I agree with her. I rather be told the truth than be lied to because in the end, we all end up looking like a holes because he couldn't tell the truth and you were made the whimp since he thought you couldn't handle it.
Great read.
1These pictures are gorgeous - the black and white ones make me want to have a photo session with my girlfriends!
2"I still have the cassette tapes of messages from my first boyfriend, my second boyfriend, my husband. . . "
Ha! Maybe she shouldn't have admitted that!
3I wish she would stop being so honest...
4Why can't she be honest?
I don't have every single nick and cranny of things my past boyfriends gave me but I do have certain items. Whether it's letters, stuffed animals, or even pictures. I don't see why Jennifer doing the same would be completely weird.
5I've never been divorced, but shouldn't see have said, "ex-husband"? I mean she said "first" and "second" boyfriend, indicating they were in the past. If anyone read that interview and didn't know anything about Jennifer Aniston (impossible, I know) they would have thought she meant current husband. Awkward...
6By your logic, she should have said "first ex-boyfriend" and "second ex-boyfriend". Geez, let's not get hung up on semantics. They were present tense when the messages were left for her - I think that's more the point.
7I'll be frank...she comes across as pathetic, break-ups are bad but it sure beats hanging on to failed relationships.
8They all look lovely! Such a shame Scarlett and Jennifer Connelly weren't there too. I don't like Drew as much as the other two but she looks great here.
I agree with Jen, after a breakup the best is to go straight to your girlfriends.
9Emms,you are picky but I really think that she loved him so much that deep inside he will be forever her husband for her, no matter how many other men with pass through her life.
10this is so cute! i think jen is really funny. she would be a cool friend.
11Yea I agree with Jen that honesty is the best policy but she lost me with the saving the cassette messages.
Hope she doesn't sit around listening to them. I am sure doesn't but...I feel she does when she is gets a chance to.
12I've never been more convinced that Jennifer Aniston is gay.
13And more happy not to have a burden of a friendship like that; poor, poor Courtney.
Those black and white pictures are adorable. I can't imagine recording messages from my past relationships, though! It sounds like a pain in the ass.
14that's kind of funny that jen still has 'answering machine tapes' that have brad's messages on them. i wonder what those say and how brad will feel about hearing that
15Roll out the red carpet for all of Saint Brangelina's followers. They're gonna have a field day with this one...
16I just read the whole article. I love those three as a duo they are very funny.
17LOL You mean trio rosa.
18Loooove those pics!!! I still think it would've been better with all five of them but whatever. And why the hell are people getting so concern with Jen keeping 'love letters' from Brad?? She said that she keeps cassettes and love letters from some of her boyfriends INCLUDING he ex. So Brad is just as important as any of the other boyfriends she mentioned. I think if things had ended in bad terms she would've probably thrown all that stuff away like the tabloids said she did after breaking up with Brad.
19I think Jen looks old compared to these two... just saying.
20Beautiful Price, I agree with everything you have said.
I love how honest and real Jen is, and I think it's silly how much ppl read into the things she says and think she comes off as pathetic. A lot of people save things from their old loves, doesn't mean they are hanging on and are not moving on. At least she tells it like it is. Geez.
All 3 look great, can't wait to pick up this issue!
21Eh, she says 'first boyfriend, second boyfriend, husband...' not like she says 'ex-first boyfriend, ex-second boyfriend...' So why the nitpicking...and I think she looks great for her age. She sure looks better than some women in their 20s and 30s that I've seen. I wish I'd look that good when I turned that age.
But I'm not so surprised that she held on to mementos. I do too, not because I still like those exes, just because mostly they're all in a box somewhere in the storage and too lazy to deal with my boxes for now
22cupcakers and hope2be - I completely agree!
I think all three ladies look wonderful.
23I think all three of them look great in these pics and I think the interview is cute...I agree with what everyone has said though...I think a lot of people keep mementos from past relationships especially when it was something of significance for you...who knows what Brad may have kept from Jennifer...(not saying he has (for the loonies) but you never know
)
24Jen will say anything to promote a movie! I like her but toooo much of a good thing. I'm getting sick of her and I used to love her.
25wow, i think it's awkward of her to not refer to Brad as an EX-husband.
26No Jennifer C? I heard it's cause Ginnefer told Jennifer C that Jennifer A was a loser who couldn't keep a man and Jennifer C repeated it but Jennifer A caught Jennifer C talking and she though Jennifer C was talkin sh*t about her but Ginnefer tried to explain to Jennifer A that they were not talkin about her they were talking about Jennifer Love Hewitt. Oh well.
27I'll tell you what Brad kept from Jen..a permanent headache from the needling she gives him on a regular basis. Her words have a purpose and the purpose is to mess with this man who has gotten on with his life. She needs to follow his lead.
28ginnifer and drew sound so mature
29First of all Brad Pitt is not "your husband"
30I just don't believe she keeps her ex's cassette tapes. That's just not moving on with her life. Jen should really move on and let go. It's way past time. Anything to pump up that triangle for attention.

I also think it's weird she doesn't refer to him as ex-husband. And there's no such thing as "ex first boyfriend or ex second boyfriend", first and second means clearly that it's in the past, that also meant there was a third, a fourth boyfriend...But husband, in the present tense? Weird. Unless she tried to say "first husband". It could be that -- but again, she's been married once so the correct term would have been "ex husband" anyway.
31I still have love letters from my ex-boyfriends and I don't think its any big of a deal. I cherished every moment I had and keeping memories is something that I like. My fiance doesn't hav eany problem with it, infact sometimes we laugh at some of the stuff that I received or wrote. It's just the way it is.Jen also said her ex boyfriends, why not pick on that.
32Love goofy pictures. Would have been nicer if my faves, Jennifer C and Scarlett were included in the interview and photos. Bummer they weren't there !
33By the way where are JC and Scarlett? It would have been great to see all the ladies together.
34I think the reason she said husband instead of ex-husband is to emphasise the fact that those were messages made while they were still married.
If she had said ex-husband, ppl could think that she also keeps messages that Brad made after they were divorced.
35I'm actually really excited for this movie for some reason.
36cupcakers I totally agree with both you and Beautiful Price. I think people are overly eager to jump on everything Jennifer Aniston says. I think she just speaks honestly and openly which is admirable. I can't think of another celebrity whose words people critique so closely.
37--I can't think of another celebrity whose words people critique so closely. --
I can. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
38Juicylemon, right on!
39It sounds like a game to Juicy and eveday.
40I love the black and white pictures - all three ladies look absolutely beautiful.
La Tua Cantante, I agree with you - everyone spends so much time dissecting everything Jennifer says. I admire her honesty as well.
41No, Beautiful Price. It doesn't. You should accept that there are people who don't like her just like I accept that there are people who don't like those I admire.
You also should respect other people's different opinions. If someone says Jennifer looks old you have no right to ask to see her (the user) picture. If she or he is ugly that doesn't change the fact Aniston looks old or not -- I personally think she looks younger than Barrymore here, but that's me.
42Please, I've seen your comments all the time and it's like a game to you to diss Jennifer Aniston.
I'm a fan of both. I don't need to say anything bad about them.
As for the picture comment, I think people become really tough behind the computer when no one can sees what they look like. That's why I said that. Take it or leave it.
43Really? I believe I comment a lot less on Aniston than you on Jolie. This "I'm a fan of both" doesn't allow you to be rude to others. And if they're tough behind a computer, and only behind a computer, than you should feel sorry for them, not ask for their pictures so you can make a point.
44Wow, guys, lets relax. Both Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are very beautiful women who are crticized a lot due to public attention. We should all be more gracious and not be so quick to judge them as we don't really know what goes on behind closed doors, so it really doesn't do much good to hyper-analyze what they say/mean(referreing to the whole'husband' debate). Just because Jennifer Aniston said she kept messages from her 'husband' doesn't mean that she hasn't moved on. You can't tell by just one word if the person has or has not moved on.
45No, I haven't. The only one times I have been rude, and I did so because I was being attacked, were those that involved a former user here, who has been banned more than 30 times so far -- and just like you, loved asking for people's pictures whenever they said anything bad about Aniston.
46SoCalNative, I agree.
47How about everyone take a chill pill since these are two women (Jolie and Aniston, AGAIN) who you don't and won't ever know personally.
48To honest again,but boring
49Sundaygreen, I don't have a problem with people disliking Jolie and showing that on threads. I don't, believe me -- I've laughed at comments about her that weren't flattering or nice, I giggle when people call her Morticia, I don't mind that people say her legs are too thin (they are!). The problem is that the moment you dare to say anything even remotely negative about Aniston, some people will jump on you. It feels like they're allowed to trash whoever they want, but no one can criticize Aniston. Ever. And that's is hypocrisy, plain and simple hypocrisy.
