"She needs an exciting guy, like a race-car driver," Bette told People about possible dating prospects for the actress. "I think she needs somebody who cherishes her, but also somebody who's going to give her a run for her money."

"She should find somebody who is really hot, who's not in show business," Bette continued. "Somebody with a lot of money, and she should live the large life and forget about these a**holes. She's a great girl. She's got everything going for her."

On the topic of past boyfriends, Bette thought Jen and Vince Vaughn - who dated from 2005 to 2006 - were destined to make it work.

"I actually thought Vince Vaughn was great. He's hilarious, he's good-looking. I mean, I thought he had it all," she told the mag. "I don't really know them, but I like them, I like to watch them, I enjoy them."

As for Jon Mayer, who the actress recently split with, Bette said, "Well, he's a good-looking guy... I've got to say, I watched it for awhile, but I have no opinion. I just read a few of the blogs."

And does the legendary entertainer think Jen should go online to get a new man?

"Oh, please, you mean JDate?" Bette said with a laugh, referring to the popular online Jewish singles site. "Put her up on JDate and see how she does!"

    Jen deserves the best. I just hope she does not go back to Pitt, he is so dirty, he let Angie touch him, gross. I think I just puked in my mouth a little.

    Bette is right. I can completely see her with an athlete, someone exciting, competitive yet someone worthy of her (unlike Mayer who is nothing but a whiny fame seeker). Someone who likes to hang out with the friends and bbq or get glam for the red carpet who isn't worried she will overshadow him.

    Jennifer does deserve a great guy and I doubt she'll find that in Hollywood! So I have to agree with Bette...get out there and find a suceessful non-Hollywwod guy and enjoy your life Jennifer!! Brad, Vince and John are all caught up in their egos and don't have a clue what a great person you are!!!

    Simple, in order to "Keep" a man, dont give up the goodies on the first night Jen. Anygirl can land a man, but the thing is to "keep" him. A "real man" respects that in a "real woman" trust me.
