Highlights
- My Best Friend's Wedding star Rupert Everett has taken a swipe against Jennifer Aniston calling her movie career "tasteless".
- The 51-year-old actor, who complained that Hollywood shunned him after he came out as gay, blamed the power players in the industry for favouring certain stars even when they continued to give flops at the box office.
- "If you look and analyse the careers of many, many stars, you'll find that they're mostly sustained by the business," Everett told BBC Radio 4. "You'll find there's lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are right for their business, and they'll stand with them for quite a long time," Everett said.

It has not been a great year for Aniston with her two big budget films
The Bounty Hunter and
The Switch doing badly at the box office. But Everett feels that despite her flops actresses like Aniston continue to flourish in Hollywood.
"Ok, something will go wrong, like Jennifer Aniston will have one too many total flops, but she's still a member of that club. And she will still manage to. "...like a star forming in the universe, things will swirl around her and it will suddenly solidify into another vital tasteless rom-com, a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula," Everette said about the 41-year-old star.
