Jennifer Aniston is taken aback by accusations that she uses her romantic entanglements to snatch headlines.

“It’s been incorrectly alleged that I’d abuse a romantic attachment as a publicity stunt. That’s below the belt,” says the actress. “To love and be loved is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a person, and one’s own life is more important than all the glamour and fame in the world.”

The screen star, who was formerly married to actor Brad Pitt, has also dated eligible Hollywood bachelors Vince Vaughn and John Mayer
