10 Things You Didn't Know About Jennifer Aniston

3. She Was The First Woman To Win The GQ "Man Of The Year" Award

Uh, yeah - so Jennifer Aniston is so awesome that she transcends all gender barriers, apparently. And why can't a woman win the "Man of the Year" award, anyways? This is the 21st century, people! The rules just don't apply! Jennifer made a tiny bit of history when she was awarded GQ's "Man of the Year" back in 2005, then, becoming the first woman to do so - alongside more traditional picks Vince Vaughn and 50 Cent, who are the opposite of women. According to GQ, she was given with the award because she showed much integrity during her highly-publicised breakup with none other than Mr. Brad Pitt. And they were right: there was a real dignity to the way that Jennifer dealt with the fallout of her marriage breakdown.
