Jennifer Aniston's "Cancer Drama !" Is Just Tabloid Scare Tactic

'Jennifer Aniston's cancer drama !' Screams the headline of a misleading National Enquirer story that promises to reveal the 'shocking reason' behind her decision to direct a movie about the disease .

Gossip Cop reported the actress  along with Demi Moore , Alicia Keys along with others  ... will direct a short film as part of Lfetime's Project Five anthology series looking at breast cancer impact.

Apparentedly , the Enquirer didn't think taht was sufficiently newsworthy , because the tabloid opts to use the sensitive topic to cook up some phony alarm.

By calling the reason behind Aniston's Project Five involvement  "shocking"  and then writing about the actress  terrifying breast cancer nightmare ," the clear implication is that Aniston herself has the disease.

She does not !

It turns out the not -so-shocking  reason for Aniston's interest in the topic is that her friends  Sheryl Crow and Christina Applegate both dealt with breast cancer  , and their diagnoses brought the disease  into Aniston's life .

Crow and Applegate  were very public about their health struggles , and , fortunately , the two women or now healthy.

That's the good news.

The bad news is the  Enquirer feeling compelled to spin Aniston's admirab le work on behalf of her friends  and others as the resulf of some "shocking" scare that never existed .

Just a thought :  You just can't believe  half of what you read anymore ... what happen to good journalism .
