Jennifer Aniston Wins Parenting Award
Jennifer Aniston has won a parenting award along with her father John for narrating ‘Loukoumi's Good Deeds’. The pair took home the iParenting Media Award in the 2009 Outstanding Category for their efforts.
The book is based on author Nick Katsoris’ cleaning woman Daisy, who worked with him for years and who gave him some gold cufflinks because he always said “good morning” to her.
The story follows the good deeds of Loukoumi the lamb and her friends Gus the Bear, Fistiki the Cat, Dean the Dog and Marika the Monkey.
Jennifer voices Daisy on the CD of the novel, which was released in April.
A sequel called ‘Loukoumi's Gift’ will be available from October 24, which is National Make a Difference Day in America.
Proceeds from sales will go to Jennifer’s charity of choice, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. How wonderful!!

I have never understood why people say that she categorically doesn't want to have children? In every interview I have ever seen or read, she adamantly says that she wants children. I think it's just something that has taken a life of itself since that was the predominant rumor as to why she divorced (which we all know is a farce).
The problem is she said many time she wants children but she never get herself in that mode and she is now 40 year old .
So..that means I can win an Oscar for best role without being an actress??
you people are so stupid. you don't have to be a parent to write a good children's book which is what she got the award for, not for being a good parent. vera's a brangeloonie and apparently so are all of the above.
I don't know which one is the stupid one...its called the parenting award not helping parents award... its quite a difference...
it's called the iParents MEDIA award idiot.
Yes, I'm an idiot because I don't think its appropriate for someone who's not a parent to win a PARENTING MEDIA AWARD! She's not Mother Theresa, for crying out loud! I have never seen her with a baby in her arms, not even for the cameras! Take Madonna, she's a parent, she wrote a book for kids! not just read it out loud, and she's evolved in many charities that involves children...why didn't she won one?? I was trying to say that this whole thing is just bull*** and I personally like Jennifer Aniston

The awards are given out for PRODUCTS. I'm sure many of the recipients are not parents. I gather you think it would ironic is the person who won Best New Baby Stroller wasn't a parent and therefore, not deserving of an award for Best New Baby Stroller.
no no:)) a stroller its a stroller, whoever invented the sewing machine doesn't necessarily have to sew for a living....this on is called Parenting! Its confusing, I'm not saying that its her fault, I'm just saying tehy either picked a wrong name for the award or the wrong person.

anonymous at 9:58, before you go off calling people stupid, check yourself. She and her father did not WRITE the book, they NARRATED it. so, you are incorrect when you say that they got the award for "writing" the book. If you don;t see the irony in receiving a Parenting Media Award (whatever that is) without being an actual parent, then you are more dimwitted than I thought. And, what in the hell does Angelina have to do with this story. You definitely come across as the one who is stupid (or at a minumum, that you can not read) and who is the loonie.
Don't you just LOOOOOVE some of these anonymous haters? It sure makes coming here more interesting.-----------

Absolutely! :)
STFU. writing/narrating whatever - it's a CHILDREN's book and Jennifer and her father got an award for NARRATING the book not for being NARRATING parents.

What in the hell are you talking about now? YOu make no sense whatsoever. You're just digging your hole deeper and deeper without even knowing what you are trying to say.
thats really a naive statement
first of all only parents know children because they have them 24/7.
someone whose neve had children cannot scratch the surface of what it means to be a parent.
writing a childrens book has nothing to do with being a parent just a good imagination.
but all the psychologist who try to give advice on how to raise children without having children themselves are idiots.
DR, Spock is on the top of that list. so many generations of kids raised on his advice only to turn out self absorbed and impossible to deal with.
Meanwhile the smart parents who took thier advice from thier own parents and grandparents fared better. you know why?
cause they were parents.
Jennifer should not have even been on the list and it is quite laughable that they even suggest it.

Thanks. I was wondering what they were about. I have to say though that, even now that I know what it's about, it just still seems ironic to have Jennifer Aniston in any way connected with such an award. Granted, her dad got it too, so maybe that's the context in which it should be viewed.

I've always liked Jennifer's father.

I don't even know much about him other than he used to be in a Soap, right? Is he is out there in the public eye? On a different note, is the INO site acting very strangely today? Seems like when I am trying to write a comment, the site just goes spastic and takes a while before it calms down enough so that I can actually type. Is that happening to anybody else?
Yes! This site is the only one that gives me the most issues. Vera has too much "crap" DL at the same time. Sometimes the messages say "waiting for piazza" "waiting for google analitics" "waiting for googleadsense". This blog has too many behind the scene bugs going on.----------

good to know that I am not the only one who thought I had a problem with the site. Not sure what Vera is up to.

The site is totally spazzing today. If I try and backspace it takes me to the previous page. To answer your question, elaine: yes, her father was on Days of our Lives and could still be on for all I know. I watched the show while I was pregnant (many moons ago) and I loved him...more than likely because he reminded me of my grandfather; very poised and dignified.
And I want my friggin points back, Vera.

ok, i thought it was just my piece of garbage
good for her!! i'm looking forward reading her book.

It's not her book!!!! She and her father are only narrating it. Never knew there was an award for how well one narrates, but there you go.
They give Grammys out for best narration also. Guess they're stupid too.

There is no such Grammy award. Grammy's are for music.
