Jennifer Aniston Is Directing A Lifetime Movie

Just let that sink in.  Let it wash over you.  Breathe it in deep. Got it?  All right, let’s get started.

Jennifer, along with Patty Jenkins, Alicia Keys, and Demi Moore, is directing a short film for Lifetime.  These ladies’ films will be part of a series called Project Five, which is going to be a five-part anthology of short films devoted to the topic of breast cancer.  There’s once more lady director to be announced for the project – any guesses?

Here’s Jennifer’s statement about it:

“Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention. Otherwise, our goals are small,” Aniston, 42, tells UsMagazine.com in a statement. “We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are.”

I can really respect Jen and each of those other women for donating their time and efforts to such a worthy project, and I mean that sincerely.  And I don’t think the fact that I find it hilarious that Jennifer is directing a movie for Lifetime, the network for women who hate men (I love Lifetime, but come on, let’s just be real), detracts from that sincerity at all.
