Jennifer Aniston says she’s “embarrassed” that people buy celebrity magazines.

The former Friends actress says the tabloids are full of lies, and she can’t understand why people bother to read them.

“It’s embarrassing that people are focused so much and putting so much money into gossip magazines to escape,” the 40-year-old actress told Parade magazine. “The paparazzi and the magazines deserve their share of the blame, but they’re just supplying a demand.

“It’s unfortunate that people don’t care that they’ve been lied to, they don’t care that they’re being sort of messed with and not given the full truth. They buy them anyway.”

Aniston also revealed that she doesn’t mind taking advice. “I’m always going to be interested if somebody gives me a self-help book,” she said.

“I’ll at least give it the first couple of pages because sometimes they speak and sometimes they don’t. But they’re worth investigating.”

Aniston — who is divorced from Brad Pitt — insists she doesn’t argue. “I’m not a fighter, I’m a discusser,” she said. “I could probably use more fight in me. I don’t yell. I talk. I can get dirty. I’ve been guilty of dirty fighting.

“But usually I don’t like to fight. I like it to be harmonious and fun. So the quicker we can discuss an issue and get through it, the sooner we get back to the fun.”
