The National Enquirer has details of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s 2004 hookup


Brad and Angelina on 3/17/05. Credit: Bauergriffinonline

The National Enquirer claims to have the insider story on the start of Brad Pitt and Angelina’s relationship on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. This comes right after Angelina admitted in a NY Times interview that she fell in love with Brad while they were making the film. Many people thought she was just stating the obvious while others were quick to point out that Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston at the time and said it was insensitive to admit that she fell in love with Brad when he was a married man.

The Enquirer says that Jennifer Aniston was seething after reading the interview and that she tried to make sure that Angelina knew about it. They also have the details of Brad and Angelina’s hookup along with the fact that Jennifer Aniston confronted him about it and demanded a divorce.

Some of the details sound too cliché to be true, especially the “Angelina refused to wear underwear for a sex scene” part. It’s possible there is some truth in there and I do trust the National Enquirer to get a lot right, as sensational as they’re apt to make it:

Jennifer Aniston is super pissed at Angelina, tried to get word to her
When Jennifer read Angelina’s Oct. 15 “New York Times” interview, it “was like having old wounds ripped open… Jen hates Angelina,” revealed a friend.

Ready for battle, Jennifer got word to Angelina that she “would love to look her dead in the eyes and call her a home-wrecker,” divulged the friend.

“Through her staff, Jennifer told Angelina: ‘I’m glad the world finally sees you the way I do – a husband-stealer.'”

But Angelina insisted the marriage was already over and that “Brad was there for the taking,” according to the friend.

Brad and Angelina hung out a barbecue together in February, 2004
The filming of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” began in early January 2004 and by February, then-married Brad and single mom Angelina had already bonded.

The two huddled close together at an intimate barbecue Angelina hosted at her Brentwood home – with Jennifer nowhere in sight.

Brad sent Angelina flowers with a card “To the Mrs.”
Several weeks later, Angie came down with the flu that Brad had passed to her.

He sent his co-star a gorgeous bouquet of flowers with a note that flirtatiously read: “The the Mrs. – Oops.”

Angelina refused to wear underwear for sex scene
Word got back to Jennifer that Angie told the wardrobe people she didn’t need the standard flesh-colored underwear for a scene in which she and Brad simulated sex, said the friend.

In September, the stars took adjoining rooms while reshooting scenes in Victorville, CA and in October, they huddled in Italy while Jennifer was in the States.

How Jennifer confronted Brad about cheating and asked for a divorce
In December, infuriated and humiliated, Jen summoned Brad to London where she was filming – under the guise of celebrating his 41st birthday.

Instead of an intimated part for two at The Dorchester hotel, Jennifer unloaded on a grimacing Brad, said the friend.

“She screamed, ‘I knew it all along – you’ve been cheating on me! I’ve been lied to long enough – I want a divorce.”

Brad returned to L.A. in shame, and he and Jennifer announced their split in early January 2005. Four months later, Brad and Angelina took their romance public.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, November 3, 2008]

It’s possible a lot of these details are re-hashed from tabloid reports at the time. Some of the details I remember, like the photos of them out in Italy, but I wasn’t as immersed in celebrity gossip back then didn’t pour over the tabloids every week like I do now. The Enquirer didn’t include the part about Brad and Jennifer’s last-ditch vacation to Mexico in January right before they announced their separation.

Angelina never said that she slept with Brad when he was married, she just admitted that’s when they fell in love. She’s long said that she couldn’t be intimate with a married man. It’s not like it’s ancient history, but it has been over three years and both parties have moved on. That said, if this happened to me I would want nothing to do with my husband’s new partner and would not wish her well at all.

    Meh. The Italy thing was filming for Mr. and Mrs., but Doug Liman didn’t like that ending, so he reshot another ending in CA in March 2005.

    So the hot, steamy, illicit affair began at a Brentwood BBQ? How romantic. 🙄

  2. TC says:

    Body language in those photos said a lot back then. Leaning in and arms being restrained to keep from touching…. who really cares? These two have 6 kids, and have managed to stay together despite the odds that they wouldn’t make it a year. They may end up split like everyone else, but the simple fact is that they are together and Brad chose to end his marriage.

  3. Minda says:

    Exactly… just ’cause she fell in love with him, doesn’t mean she had sex with him. And if the marriage was over anyway… then, well… if you see your marriage going down hill, it’s up to you to do something to fix it, not just sit back and hope your husband (or wife) stays put. I see a lot of people in ‘over’ marriages who just hang in there, even though things aren’t happy and yet they do nothing to try and fix it. I’ve never liked Jennifer. I like Brad and Angelina together!!

  4. xiaoecho says:

    Look at their body language….it’s obvious they’ve got a guilty conscience —-Angie’s practically got a scarlet letter A on her chest

    ..all’s fair in love and war —Jen lost her man….it must have hurt 😐

  5. Anni says:

    i´m sure it hurt like hell, but i am also sure that she´s over it.

    i wonder how many years this ZOMG HUSBANDSTEALER thing will continue. it´s been so many years already, everybody involved moved on…but the media never gets tired of heating it up again and again and again. 🙄

  6. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    Actually, I heard something a long time ago – a friend of a friend of a friend or whatever was a production assistant on the movie. Anyway, the rumor was that they hadn’t put on the pasties or whatever for a scene where they were supposed to be naked! Same thing. Angie’s totally full of crap and she always has been. It’s all just an act. I can’t wait until it comes out that she’s still addicted to heroin and has treated it holistically through pregnancy and breastfeeding but is still 100% an addict. It’s just a rumor now, but I’d bet it’s true. All the Brangeloonies are going to FLIP!

  7. jess says:

    i dont believe this because, even though im not a fan of jen’s by any stretch of the mind, i have a hard time believing that she’s reading angie’s interviews.

  8. Kaiser says:

    @Anni – The ZOMG NO PANTIES thing is a new twist, though! 😆

    @Xiao – these pics are from March 2005, I believe. They probably were sleeping together at that point. I hope they were, because Angie looks incredible in that dress.

  9. Lore says:

    You know what bothers me? How much Brad has aged since the header pic was taken!

  10. popo says:

    And I hope someone does this to you. And she wears an incredible dress. Wonder if you’d be so positive about it. And no it hasn’t happened to me. Because I tend to date people with some idea as to what commitment means

  11. geronimo says:

    I’ve never seen a lot of those pics before, particulary the ones with Z. They’re lovely.

    Yeah, I’m with everyone else on the ‘give it a rest’ side. It’s done, it’s dusted, nothing can change the past. And yes, I’m sure it was incredibly hurtful for JA at the time (it would be for anyone, let alone someone with such a huge spotlight on them) but it’s over now, they’ve all moved on and need to be allowed to be who they are now and not constantly followed around by the ghosts of their pasts.

  12. Sara says:

    I’m sorry. I’m still just stumped as to how this case is any different from the hundreds that revolve around Hollywood. It’s probably my animosity towards Jennifer.

    And exactly how is Angie a home-wrecker? In my opinion, you need to have more than a husband-wife dichotomy to have a “home”.

  13. xiaoecho says:

    Kaiser……….is it only 3 and a half years? it feels like years and years – probably because of their over exposure in the press

    thought it was at least 5

  14. Bea says:

    what’eves 😉

  15. Anne says:

    I like them together and hope they have a Woodward and Newman partnership. They seemed odd at first, Jolie doing charity work and Pitt in the news for he and Jen ordering boxes of expensive face cream to slather on their bodies. Who knows, maybe she brings out the good in him and that is a great partnership. My husband and I don’t have a whole lot in common on the surface either but it doesn’t seem to matter, it works.

  16. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    Sara! That’s a crappy thing to say! You CAN build a home with only two people. Think about the couples that don’t want kids or can’t have kids. A home is more than “Mom, Dad, 2.5 Kids and a Dog” – welcome to the 21st century!!

  17. chick says:

    so…4 years later, Jen sends a message to Angie saying “I knew it!!!” if this is true, she is a complete idiot. let it go Jen. move on. they already have. wish them the best and get on with your life. it’s been FOUR YEARS! 🙄 🙄

  18. jess says:

    aaaaaaaaaaaaa….it think sara meant that just because they are married, doesnt mean they have a home…as in not a loving situation, or something that wasnt right or already over. dont they have a dog together? norman or something? what happened to him?

  19. Fab says:

    Face it everybody,Angelina is a home wrecker while Brad is a Womanizer. Both were so blind that they hooked up with each other. Seriously,now their job is producing babies. I don’t get their vibe. Anyways,i still don’t get it why are they labeled as “the perfect couple”.Lame…

  20. elisha says:

    Angelina Jolie is so freakin’ skanky.

    TC, BRAD didn’t choose to end the marriage, JEN did. Brad the cad was hoping to have the best of both worlds (a wife and mistress), just like a classic cheater.

  21. vdantev says:

    GTF over it? Please? For the sake of your family and future generations little trailer park tabloid goblins just GTF over it.

  22. Wif says:

    I’m curious, does anybody know if Jen went to the premiers of M&M Smith?

  23. Mae says:

    In Angelina’s interview she says,when I was self absorbed….please speak in present tense. Anyone who has experience in the Psychology field knows right away. She has a personality disorder, self absorbed, and tries to defend why she forces her children to not plant roots. She will create exactly what she has been trying to run from because she can’t even see it. Where are her true friends, Brad is useless,enabler, and living KARMA! I think her Dad is the only one who doesn’t try to blow smoke up her ….and see what happened to him. I guess I just answered my own question about how no one tells her how they really feel.

  24. rules says:

    ugh, why wont they just go away. And he does look older, probably because he’s no longer with someone whose biggest concern is trying to look as young as possible. He no longer cares about slathering on $100 dollar wrinkle creme and get botox every week. He is with someone that isnt so shallow. I mean Angie isn’t as shallow as Jen……LOL

  25. Susan says:

    I just cannot respect a couple that has an affair when one party is married. Angie was intimate with Brad perhaps not physically but in other ways. What they did was wrong. I lost respect for Julia Roberts when she did this exact thing. I also lost respect for Brad. I believe that once you make a vow it is important. If you break this vow once who says you won’t do it again when things get tough? People tear down Jennifer becasue if she doesn’t look bad then Brad had no real excuse to leave and that makes him look bad. No one knows what happened in Brad or Jen’s marriage. However everyone does know that Angie and Brad had an affair thanks to Angie’s comments about falling in love on set. Angie seems to be the one who wants this triangle to continue. This comment was made on pupose. Wonder why? Perhaps Angie should take a new vow not to reveal so much about her personal life in the future.

  26. kate says:

    @ sara: why do you need kids to have a home? that is the dumbest thing i ever read on this blog. i certainly feel bad for all those childless couples and singletons who think they have “homes” but are, in your world, living in …what – cardboard boxes?

  27. Leandra says:

    This is old news. Big deal. Let’s move on. I don’t want a re-hash of all this again.

  28. TC says:

    Elisha,
    I have to disagree with that. Brad made a choice and it wasn’t to fight for his marriage. No one knows what happened with Brad and Jennifer but he did make a choice to leave his marriage even if he wasn’t the person who filed the papers. If Jennifer asked for a divorce it was likely to minimize damage and strike first.

  29. Sara says:

    Point taken, people. I apologize.

    But I stand corrected when I mean that children or dogs or a freaking parakeet don’t necessarily make a home. And from where I’m standing, Brad and Jen didn’t look like the ones to have a “home” in a more intimate, selfless, metaphysical way. But then again, I was and am standing very far away so my view might be foggy. They just seemed always so….plastic.

    Never mind Angelina or Jennifer, doesn’t Brad seem much more relaxed and happy now? He has built a home for himself.

    But I know when I’m digging a hole for myself so I’ll shut up now.

  30. trvlbug529 says:

    So much time has elapsed that Jen needs to get over it before she chokes on that bitter pill.
    Regardless of what people think about Angie, it takes two and Brad was obviously willing. I’m guessing he’s in a much happier place now.
    Time for by-gones to be by-gones.

    I’m sick of hearing about “poor Jennifer”! Enough is enough.

  31. devilgirl says:

    @Sara- you still make absolutely no sense.

  32. jess says:

    i know what you mean sara

  33. geronimo says:

    I think what Sara is saying is that the JA/BP relationship, even at the time, seemed superficial and that they, even while married, still came across as two separate people and not really a deeply committed unit. And, by comparison, what BP now has with AJ looks much more like a real, committed relationship between two people who care deeply for each other, independent of and nothing to do with kids, dogs, parakeets, possessions etc etc etc. The ‘home’ was, if you like, a euphemism for committment. That’s how I read it.

  34. Mairead says:

    1st – one of my favourite dresses ever. Normally I don’t like all that cod-Celtic stuff but that is lovely. I hadn’t realised that those photos were taken on the 17th of March 😉

    2nd – vdantev – ‘trailer park tabloid goblins’ – comment of the day. 😆

    3rd – I think there is 1cm of cold ashes in the corner that haven’t been raked over yet 🙄

    4th – where did we hear all this from? A friend of a friend of my dog-walker’s girlfriend’s boyfriend’s aunty’s sister who went on a studio tour and met the chief bottle-washer? (that goes for Jennifer Aniston too) Yeah, completely impeccable source. 😐

    Christ, the juvenile quotes from the inside source sounds like they interviewed some randomer from here or DListed. JA let AJ know that she hated her in no uncertain terms after the NY Times interview – how? By hooking up again with John Mayer. Yeah, that put Angie in her place all right. 🙄

  35. lola says:

    Oh people. Get over it. Some marriages die well enough on their own.

    I divorce people for a living, and write these judgments. there is no such thing as an external home-wrecker. Period.

    The only people who say that are the ones who can’t or won’t do what it takes to have a relationship succeed or — in the alternative — have done all they can and are simply with a man or woman who is in a different emotional place.

    Shit happens.

    And ps: he traded up.

  36. jalyn says:

    I can understand jen being pissed. angie just verified what jen thought all along…she coulda told herself a million things to believe that no, they didn’t cheat but angie just validated that yes, they did.

    i too think angie is the one that wants this triangle to continue because what the heck else is there to say about her? she’s just about over, her and brad both, and she knows it, so now it’s anything to stay in the spotlight.

    i for one say adios angie.

    geez, brad was good looking at one time wasn’t he….wouldna never known that by looking at him now after his time w/angie.

    hey, these two have dug a hole so deep they almost have to stay together…the whole world will laugh at them if they don’t and they know it cuz they’ve spent the whole time they been together trying to convince us all they are each individually perfect and even more perfect together.

    what a farce!!!!!!

  37. Mairead says:

    lola: October 24th, 2008 at 5:06 pm:
    Oh people. Get over it. Some marriages die well enough on their own.

    😯 😯 😯
    Who are you and what have you done with ‘our’ lola???

  38. HallieB says:

    I agree with you 100% Lola.

    Brad today seems a very happy man with Angelina and their kids. They both have purpose in their lives. Just read that Angelina has just returned from a UNHCR visit to Afghan refugees in that war torn country, both she and Brad walk the walk and talk the talk which is more than most of us do.

    aaaaaaaaa, get a life. The drug lie you want so desperately to be true says much about your lack of character. This woman is out in the public eye raising SIX kids taking care of the man she so obviously loves and completely supports holding seminars visiting refugees and having a vibtant and active career. No drugs involved and you know it. You are despicable and disgusting.

  39. Rosie says:

    I am happy to see two people who are in synch like Brad and Angelina together.

    I totally doubt that JA cares one way or another what Brad or Angelina do or say. She is with John Mayer and he seems to make her quite happy. He may not be her fans choice but he seems to be her choice.

    Almost 4 years later and some still hashing out a divorce of 2 celebs. The socalled “details” given by the NE do not support a physical affair and have appeared in tabloids years ago. What the NE seems to say is that there was an instant attraction between Brad and Angelina, which is known to all now. So nothing new here. All people personally involved have long moved on with their lives. Only some bitter women who have miserable lives still focus on the lives of others they do not know. Everyone else has long since moved on to deal with their own lives and problems.

    I am a paralegal for a family law attorney and believe me when I say all the divorces that come through the office are due to the spouses involved, no outside influences, there is no such thing as an outside homebreaker. The spouses manage their breakups all by themselves.

  40. geronimo says:

    Mairead – either we’ve ‘turned’ her or this is a different Lola. I suspect the latter since it’s well written and rational. And ‘old’ Lola would hack out both her eyes with a rusty knife before suggesting that BP traded up.

    (Apologies to the ‘new’ Lola for discussing you like this. We’re used to a darker, scarier Lola on AJ threads.)

  41. Anni says:

    i like the new lola

  42. HallieB says:

    Angelina’s this weeks’ trip to visit refugees info. She is a good person who should be admired. She has been involved with refugee efforts now for over SEVEN years. She is no fly by nite photo op person.

    http://www.unhcr.org/news/NEWS/4901c92f2.html

  43. Samantha says:

    To the comment about Brad’s aging – That is how Jolie keeps her young appearance. She is a witch, and she sucks the youth out of anyone who sticks their wand in her magic bag. Look at Billy Bob…I think he aged a hundred years since being with her!

  44. ff says:

    Weren’t they totally in denial about how attracted to each other they were eventhough everybody else to see it was obvious?

    She probably looking back and accepting she was in love with him even then. That said, there was no need to say it – we already know and it was bad form. But then, that is her style – say it if it’s true no matter what it comes across like.

  45. Lore says:

    Female Dorian Gray?

  46. Carrie says:

    Also agree Lola. It only takes two people to wreck a marriage and those are the people in it. A “homewrecker” (ridiculously emotive term) can only get in through an open door.

  47. tracy says:

    @TC – interesting body language observation! She posed with brad once in a pic and held her hand over his stomach, I have always wanted to know what this meant in body language. Please enlighten me.

  48. Zoe says:

    1. I too like the new Lola. Please stay Lola 😀

    2. I heart vdantev.

    3. this is old news and this story is crap. But, any ideas as to why Angie would say they fell in love on the set of M&M Smith? She’s too smart to step into it like that. What the hell was she thinking? I’d way rather hear more interviews about her work so I don’t have to cringe through the haters’ responses…was this just an oops??

  49. Kaiser says:

    @Mairead – Right? Angie’s wearing the hell out that dress. I would wreck a dozen homes for a chance with her.

    @Sara, I understood what you were trying to say. A “home” is more than just two people wandering around, sharing a box of Loreal blond highlights. I get it! 😆

  50. Oh Yeah says:

    RE AGING

    ohh billy bob is just OLD plain and simple as for Brad Pitt well the guy is going to be 45 so of course he will look his age nobody is sucking the life out of them.. it’s just father time catching up with them. You too will get old.. everybody does unless you’re a VAMPIRE!!

    When i watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith i really wish that it’s true that they are really Mr.& Mrs. and when it was confirmed that they are in relationship i was SOOOO HAPPY yup i agree with LOLA Brad traded up 🙂

  51. devilgirl says:

    Why would anyone care about the details of their hookup? They are together now, they have children, what more do we need to know. Enough already!

  52. Cheyenne says:

    Anni: October 24th, 2008 at 2:53 pm i´m sure it hurt like hell, but i am also sure that she´s over it.
    *************************************

    LOL ROFLMBAO! “Over it” my ass. If she was over it, why would she be “seething after reading the interview and that she tried to make sure that Angelina knew about it?”

    And CB, get real. Angelina didn’t steal anyone. You can’t steal someone who doesn’t want to be stolen. Besides, as you yourself said, it’s ancient history, so why rake over all these dead coals? Sheesh.

  53. pamela says:

    Zoe, earlier this year in an interview, Angie said something similar. At that time she said “it would be funny for them to see how their parents MET”. This is an innocent remark, and all this implies is that they met on the set, now they are in love. There is nothing sinister or malicious about the remark. This has been blown way out of proportion, but what else is expected from the rags? They know they have a captive audience, just waiting for any scraps of perceived injustice to the “oh-so-innocent” ex-wife, to start on the hate parade again.

    This s**t is so played out, it’s ridiculous. The scary thing is, is that some of these people get to VOTE. 🙄

  54. Granger says:

    jalyn: “what the heck else is there to say about [angie]? she’s just about over, her and brad both…”

    Uh… I’m confused. Have you seen any of the reviews for Changeling? Granted, I’ve only read three so far, but each of them said Angelina is fabulous in the film (although a couple said they weren’t thrilled with the movie itself). Also, as someone else already noted, she just returned from yet another humanitarian visit to Afghan refugee camps. Those two oh-so-insignificant tidbits alone tell me that Angelina is FAR from “over.”

  55. Miriam says:

    I may be wrong but the above pictures are from when they temporarily moved to France when Angie was pregnant with Shiloh. Body language may be totally different considering they are already living together.

  56. Miriam says:

    Anyway, didn’t all this gossip get rehashed back then? I remember it’s all I read. All about the barbecue, the late nights at one of their trailer, blah, blah. How much more crap is going to be dredged out to make it sound like new news?

  57. Anni says:

    because, cheyenne, people get over such things after some time. life does go on, you know? plus, the line “seething after reading the interview and that she tried to make sure that Angelina knew about it” is a typical gossip rag line and total BS…the whole topic is dead and buried, but that particular line is supposed to sell. and obviously it worked on you 😉

    so what´s more likely to be true? that life goes on or that particular “quote” 🙄 😆

  58. Kaiser says:

    Anni, do you really think Jennifer is over it? 😯 😆 I don’t.

  59. Cheyenne says:

    Zoe: October 24th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
    any ideas as to why Angie would say they fell in love on the set of M&M Smith? She’s too smart to step into it like that. What the hell was she thinking?
    **************************************

    Angie’s “crazy” like a fox. She knew exactly what she was doing. She’s only repeating what everybody already knows and by bringing it out in the open she is saying she has nothing to hide.

  60. geronimo says:

    @Cheyenne – YOU get a grip. Anni said exactly what the rest of us are saying here; it’s over, it’s done, leave it alone. You need to get over your JA hatred which, btw, is as irritating to me as anything that comes from the anti-J-P side. You’re the one believing all this anti-JA bollocks. The rest of us, thankfully, have a bit of perspective. I’m sorry but, grow up.

  61. Miriam says:

    Here’s a link to those cotton candy pictures. They indeed are in France. Long after the facts.
    \http://celebrity-moms.blogspot.com/2006/02/angelina-and-maddox-enjoy-cotton-candy.html

  62. Cheyenne says:

    @Anni: I totally agree that business about Aniston “seething” is probably more tabloid bullshit and about as accurate as US Mag this week saying Aniston was “stabbed in the heart” by Angelina admitting she and Brad fell in love on the set of MAMS. The tabloids are 100% invested in keeping the Infernal Triangle going because that is the only thing that is feeding their bottom line. The day the Triangle no longer exists, most of the tabs will go out of business.

  63. Anni says:

    kaiser: I do, yes. Why wouldn´t she? I don´t mean that she never thinks about it and gets sad because of what happend, but i don´t think she sits there all day seething and plotting and screaming. she moved on for everyone to see. i know people who did not get over sometzhing like that and i have seen people getting over much worse. why does everybody assume she´s this poor, heartbroken girl crying herself to sleep every night? i´m sick of that stereotype. and it won´t make aniston a lesser being because she´s over it. i hate how women are supposed to hold a grudge for the rest of their lives, because if they don´t people say they are either acting or cold hearted.

    cheyenne: i agree that the media is keeping it going, but see how they got you to do the same? otherwise you would not have adressed me with that ridiculous quote.

  64. Miriam says:

    #35:Lola:
    This CAN NOT be the same Lola that hates AJ? I mean, I started commenting because of this woman’s sheer hatred of AJ. If it is, good for you! you finally seeked councelling and it helped 😉

  65. Kaiser says:

    @Anni- Oh, I totally think that most people in a similar situation would have gotten over it by now. But Jennifer is not most people – she is The Wronged Woman, and dammit, she has to remind us all the time.

    The question I always ask myself is this: if Jen was so over it, why has she chased after every AJ/BP news cycle since the divorce?

  66. Anni says:

    because there are enough people who love those stories, who want angelina to be a whore and aniston the scarred-for-live victim. it´s that simple. these tabloids somehow justify their own bitterness. and people do a lot to fuel that, they ask for these kind of stories: outrageous, mean and scandalous. the roles are clear. it´s brad the cheater, angie the husbandstealer and poor jen who never saw it coming because she´s the all american girl. people who ask for these stories don´t want to hear that jen is over it or that the marriage was already over when brad fell in love with angie. to them it´s just not possible. it´s way to “normal”. it´s scary. because it can happen to THEM.

  67. Griffin says:

    Have any of you ever had a husband or wife that cheated on you? It hurts pretty bad. I ran into my former mother in law a few years after my divorce who insisted on showing me pictures of my now ex-husband and his new family (he cheated on me with this woman and got her pregnant) and all that hurt and anger came right back.

    I can’t even imagine what it’s like for Jennifer to constantly have it shoved in her face that her ex husband is with the woman who didn’t care if he was married and their new family.

    It’s sad when good people allow themselves to get so overwhelmed by past grievances, that they forget to live their lives. Their grief consumes them, sadness tears at their mental wellbeing and rewires their brain to ruminate constantly over every perceived slight or injustice.

    It’s sad when sadness dictates a person’s life. But when others become sad and obsessed by proxy – that’s just f*ckin’ pathetic.

  69. p says:

    angelina jolie is such a phoney. and brad pitt is just plain boring.
    i think they both stink for being nasty cheaters. what’s more, i don’t think they’ll last. both are too into themselves and the sex will eventually get boring. just watch.

  70. uh... says:

    Some of you people should visit the forums at a vile site called female first. The things Jennifer Aniston fans write about Angelina are disgusting, they call her children racist names, hope for Angelina to DIE in childbirth, wish for their children to be mentally challenged and went as far to say Angelina was faking her pregnancy and would fake a stillbirth! 😯 😯

    You call us Brangeloonies, but some Jen fans are psycho!

    Kaiser: October 24th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
    The question I always ask myself is this: if Jen was so over it, why has she chased after every AJ/BP news cycle since the divorce?
    **************************************

    Because her career is in the toilet and she has no other way to keep her face in the tabloids. That’s why.

  73. Cheyenne says:

    @uh

    Oh good lord, those freaks who post on Female First are certifiable. After the one and only time I ever clicked on that site, I wanted to take out my whole hard drive and run it through the laundry mat.

  74. Codzilla says:

    Griffin: She actually whipped out photos of his new family? Damn. Is she cruel or just totally clueless?

  75. someone says:

    Kaiser???you really need to get over your hate for Jen..you act like she did something to you personally. How has she constantly reminded us that shes the “wronged woman”..even tho she is.???And how is she chasing AJ/BP news stories??? She hasn’t mentioned Brad or Angelina for 3 years or more…

  76. someone says:

    I also don’t believe that Jen had to get in touch with AJ..Im sure if she had something she needed to say to Angelina, she would have said it 3 1/2 years ago..and for all we know, she might have. I think she is sooo over his cheating ass..But as usual, AJ made herself sound like a moron.IMO

  77. Griffin says:

    Cheyenne, I am over it and I’m not feeling sorry for myself.. in fact, I’ve remarried since then. I’m just saying I can’t even imagine how Jennifer must be feeling when there is a constant reminder in the tabloids. Having my ex MIL show me just one picture was a hurtful reminder.. she has to deal with it every single day.

    I’m sure she has gotten over it and moved on with her life (she is dating John Mayer afterall). Angelina talking about it now is probably just what Jennifer wanted to hear since both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt lied and denied they were cheating when in fact they were. Sometimes confirmation of something you knew all along is just what a person needs.

  78. Rosanna says:

    How is AJ self-absorbed while JA, who doesn’t even do charity, is not??? Besides, nobody can steal a man who is taken… AJ could steal Brad because he wasn’t take, that’s very simple.

  79. Rosanna says:

    Kaiser, right on! If JA is so over it, no news will hurt her or… she’s not over it (and she’s not, I wouldn’t if I were her… after all where on earth can she find another Brad Pitt to marry her? AHAHHAHA)

  80. firsttimer says:

    Just an observation- How is it that EVERYONE knows intimately what any of these people are thinking? Is everyone on this thread acquainted with either Angelina, Brad, or Jennifer? You all base your knowledge on what is written in gossip magazines, on web sites and the press (who we all know exaggerate things )Not once have I ever seen an interview with any of them where they have ripped on the other. The only nasty things being thought or said by them or about them are by posters on these gossip sites. It’s wonderful to see how ALL of you think that you know so bloody much about people you are not even remotely acquainted with.Amazing that you even know what they are thinking and feeling. None of us know what really went on in the relationship btwn Aniston and Pitt, just as we don’t know what really goes on btwn Jolie and Pitt. For God’s sake, they are all actors and any of them can pull off happy camera shots for the paps, say sweet things in interviews, but bottom line- unless you are in the homes were they all live, NONE OF YOU know shit as to how any of them really think, feel or interact with one another!

  81. Anni says:

    well then, firsttimer, CB can shut down now! i think you are right btw, but this still IS a gossip site, what do you expect posters to do?

  82. Mairead says:

    Sounds like your mother-in-law also had a missing sensitivity chip Griffin. You raise a good point, but could seeing that photo be much more of a shock because you weren’t expecting to see it – whereas it would be impossible for JA to completely avoid all visual references to the JPs in 3 years. So she possibly became immured to it early on (don’t forget she had Vince Vaughn to shield her eyes with within 6 months 😉 )

    As for ‘new’ lola – are we sure that it’s not that old lola finally vomited the last of her marbles into her sink and went totally and utterly hatstand?
    *looks over shoulder*

  83. firsttimer says:

    I understand Anni that it is a gossip site, and obviously I like to read what they say, but some posters get so out of control with their comments about other posters and they speak as if they are Angelina, Brad or Jennifer. It’s not the gossip sites I have a problem with, it is posters who comment on people’s lives who they have no earthly connection with.

  84. Susan says:

    Just a question for those of you who think that Brad is happier – where do you get this information? Not from Brad. He never talks. He smiles sure but he smiled and hugged with Gwen, Jen and many others. Oh right you are getting your information from the tabloids. Enough said. jen has not talked about Brad or Angie in years. She is living her life dating. She was over him long ago. However the tbaloids paint her this way and you guys fall for it. Just like you fall for all the other stuff they say. You guys relaly need to quit believeing the tabloids and start using your heads.

  85. geekaziod says:

    Sara I have made stupid statements but yours was just about the dumbest and stupidest one I have EVER heard.

    My grandmother raised two kids on her own and my mother adopted and raised me on her own; but we were a FAMILY. The same can be said about a wife and a husband; they are a family. If they have kids thats an ADDITION to that family but they are family never the less. uncles and aunts ect are an EXTENTION of that family. Your deffinition of what a family is, is laughable.

  86. Anni says:

    “It’s not the gossip sites I have a problem with, it is posters who comment on people’s lives who they have no earthly connection with.”

    That´s a paradox.

  87. whatevs says:

    Sweet lord. Couple things, as if anyone cares.

    uh, There are psycho people everywhere. Not all “Jen fans” sink to calling their kids racist remarks, wishing death on people, blah blah blah. I haven’t seen anyone saying anything like that on this thread or on any others on this site. If they were here at one time saying all kinds of crap, posters here obviously drove them away, which is a good thing. I just don’t know why they’re all grouped in that category for liking her or for dislking AJ.

    Cheyanne, good for you for getting over it. We’re not all wired the same way. Calling someone a loser for having an emotional moment remembering her asshole ex and what happened, well that just makes you sound crazy angry for no reason. What’s it to you if people haven’t gotten over their own past?

    Oh, and Pamela, what does having the ability to vote have to do with anything? Do you assume everyone here who holds a differing opinion based on these two women is somehow less able to figure out what they want in a President?

  88. tigerlille says:

  92. Martina says:

    Oh lord some people on here talk like it’s their second cousins involved!
    I haven’t written in a long time-but I just had to reply to this. I could care less about either party. BUT I have to side with Jennifer A on this one. The whole debaucle was humiliating to begin with, then your compared to Angelina “The Most Beautiful Woman in the World” and I do think Angelina is gorgous…on the outside. I think it’s great that she’s adopted her own mini country and is involved in helping others, and has a happy family. But that was a thoughtless and disrespectful comment. She HAD to know whether Brad and Jenn were over or not that seeing your ex move on and do as well as he is-that’s gotta hurt. I know if one of my exBOYFRIENDS success was constantly being shoved down my throat I’d loose my mind. I’m sure she’s moved on-but please, It seemed that Jennifer was in love with him, problems in the marriage or not. She’s trying to move on.
    Now you got Angelina rehashing crap that doesn’t need to be said. She just slipped back down to her screwing in limos and bragging about it, making out with your brother, and wearing blood around your neck level again for me. Completely without class.
    I know I’m about to get barraged with Angelina-is-perfect crazed fans-but just one opinion so get over it! I honestly don’t care about any of them-I don’t know them, but I’m putting them in a personal everyday light and know how I’d feel if this was me.

  93. Cheyenne says:

    Martina: Why in the world should Angelina have to monitor everything she says or does with respect to whether or not it will hurt Jennifer? I’ve heard people accusing her of having babies to hurt Jennifer. Give me a break. Angelina doesn’t spare Jennifer a thought in a thousand, and why should she? The divorce happened four years ago. She said nothing disrespectful towards Aniston. She said she and Brad fell in love on the set of MAMS. And lest you forgot, at the time they were making that film, Brad’s marriage to Aniston was all but dead.

    I’ll tell you what Aniston’s problem is and her fans’ as well: Brad moved on before she was ready to let him move on. As needy and insecure and controlling as she is, she wanted to call the shots in that regard as well as everything else. Brad was supposed to suffer until she was happy again. Well, it didn’t work out like that, and she and her fans can either get over it, or continue to wallow in their misery. Believe me, whichever they choose, it’s all the same to Brad and Angie. They have nothing to do with Aniston and she has nothing to do with them. End of story.

  94. jojo says:

    jolie is the one who needs this triangle to promote her flop movie that all critics are panning.
    doubt jen cares, she’s fucking a younger guy, jolie is jealous that she’s stuck with old pitt who needs viagra to get it up 😆 😆

  95. Rosie says:

    Martina, you might have tried to find out some facts before you radiated your vile rants. Angelina’s ex BBT bragged about their possible action in the limo on a red carpet, Angelina did not say one word and looked embarrassed at his side. BBT liked to say things to show him as a player and Angelina as his plaything. She has since said that you do some things not because you want to but because of the person you love. She did not make out with her brother, no matter what the tabloids have said. The DROP of blood was in a little locket that one like puts pressed flowers in, she showed it in an interview years ago and it was not a vial. Too bad your complete dislike of Angelina for no valid reasons permeates all your screwed up comments. You possess a closed inflexible mind as to this woman. How do you know how JA felt or feels? If the tabloids had not made up a triangle where none existed, this 2005 divorce would be exactly where it is for most people, in the private past lives of those involved. You have let tabloids feed you their filth and completly swallowed it instead of thinking for yourself. You are blind to any reality which can be seen about Angelina, who appears to be a good loving partner and mom, and a woman who has done no personal harm to you.

  96. HallieB says:

    Martina, but it was not you unless you are Jen. You can only imagine how someone else feels and thinks and reacts unless you are that person or the person personally confided in you. You are stepping into another person’s life and saying that the person is just like you without any foundation. I take Jen at her own words and she said that she knew the marriage was over in the summer of 2004. She had plenty of time to prepare and has been in celeb land long enough to be very PR wise. Just because they waited and only informed the world of their decision to split in January 2005 was their business not yours or mine or anyone else’s, just theirs. You seem so so angry about something that is not really your business or mine. Of course anyone is unhappy to fail at marriage, that is the plain truth. However, you move with your life which I did after my divorce. That is just the way things are. But for you to be so unhappy and judgemental with other peoples private lives for years and years does not seem very healthy to me. I feel sorry for anyone like you who appears to be so riled up and invested in the lives of someone else who you have no real knowledge of or any connection to. I would suggest that you stop reading tabloids for your health.

  97. RAN says:

    HallieB and Rosie – not picking on you, but your comments to Martina were a waaayyy off the mark. Did you READ any of the other comments on this thread? Martina merely said she can relate to the woman’s feelings(JA), that’s no reason to be insulting.

    And for those of you questioning why AJ shouldn’t monitor her comments…aren’t you the same people who spew nonsense that JA should go on hiatus and stop promoting herself just to ‘take the spotlight away from the JP’s’? You make no sense. If AJ wouldn’t have opened her trap, this conversation wouldn’t be happening. If BP had shown some class years ago, the woman he loves wouldn’t be so reviled as the ‘homewrecker’. If JA had shut her trap years ago, silly and immature people wouldn’t constantly quote a stupid VF article.

    Brad Pitt deserves all of this angst – not these two women and certainly not Martina. Take a page out of Anni and Geronimo’s books – try to show some level headed perspective.

  98. ThatBKChick says:

    Whatever….cele-u-tards husbands/wives are human beings like any other human being….the man wanted children for the longest time. Anston did not want any….now he has a tribe!!! Get Over It! Does it really matter about the details? Honestly!!! Jennifer Anston sucked before he dumped her and she still sucks. None of her movies did well before the split and even more so now after the split. At the end of the day, if she was a real actress/woman, she would just move on and get on with her career…..she clearly sucks as a major motion picture actress, and she should just stick to television shows….produce….do something and just STFU! GEEEZ….If Brad Pitt did wrong, he will have someone to answer to for this, the both of them. Whose to say that they are not living literally in “hell” everyday, especially if Jolie is addicted/crazy!!! LIVE YOU DAMNED LIFE EACH DAY AS IF IT IS THE LAST…NOTHING IS EVER PROMISED BUT TO LIVE AND DIE!!!! Let the Jolie-Pitts live their damned lives with their 50 children!

    ***************************************

    Excuse you? You mean Brad was supposed to stay in a loveless marriage so Aniston’s fans wouldn’t blame Angelina because he dumped Jennifer?

    Athough Brad was the one who wanted out of the marriage, he let Jennifer be the one to file for divorce. He has never said a word against her, even after she got her friends to rag on him in public. He treated her with much more consideration than she deserved, IMO.

  100. RAN says:

    Oh I forgot… Amen Pilar!

  101. lindseey says:

    Mae, I agree. There is definitely something not right about Angelina, she seems to have a compulsion toward adopting children, I mean, she just had twins and she is already talking about adopting more? ALREADY? It is not right. And I think Brad is just so swept away and wants to be a father that he can’t see that something is wrong. I think the family is gorgeous, but that is as far as it goes. They are far from perfect. And their kids are moving around so much, do they even have friends? Where is their home? And I have heard so many rumors that Ang lets the kids eat pizza and chocolate for breakfast, run amuck, do whatever they please. She ain’t the perfect mother, she just looks like it. And I have to agree with Martina – Angelina doesn’t need to rehash this shit. She should leave it alone, and I can imagine how Jen would feel. Although im sure Jen’s over it by now, what a kick to the balls to constantly be compared to Angelina.

  102. Cheryl says:

    Jennifer lost Brad Pitt because she kept putting off, making excuses not to have a child. He wanted a baby, he wanted to be a Dad and a family man. Who would choose some dumb shallow girl who spends her free time working on her stupid tan. She wanted to make movies and be a movie star ..not babies!!!!

  103. PJ says:

    This was a big news story because Angelina finally confirmed that (a) Brad was cheating on his wife and (b) both Angie and Brad lied about their relationship for the first year of it.

    A lot of people here have suggested we should all forget about the Brad/Jen/AJ triangle, but this comment from AJ is new information that we didn’t have before, and that puts it in a different perspective.

    I don’t blame Angelina; Brad was the one who broke his wedding vows. Remember the vows include the phrase “forsaking all others.” That refers to more than just a physical relationship.

    This does explain why Brad and AJ adopted Zahara so soon in their relationship–it wasn’t really that soon. They had been together a year or more when Z was adopted.

  104. RAN says:

    @ Cheryl — And…? Don’t we ALL live life the way we want to? I don’t recall asking anyone else’s opinion when I wanted to lay on the beach and tan. Maybe she wasn’t ready to have children, maybe she never will be, maybe she’s ready now…who the heck knows? She told her husband she would have children when she was ready. He was too faithless to respect HER wishes, just as much as she put her own wishes first.

  105. lilith says:

    brad and angelina are soul mates….great parents and good people. the marriage of brad and jen ended a long time ago…and it’s tiring to see it rehashed. move on people.

    It is against the comment agreement you accept when you post a comment to use aliases, it’s especially unacceptable within the same thread.

    I love coming in at the last second to read all the comments on an Angelina/Brad/Jennifer post. It makes me giggle 😆

    I am just going to add that I dount Jennifer would look Angelina in the eyes and tell her whatever it is she’d like to. The heavenly orbs around Ms. Jolie would knock Jennifer into an even high state of stupor. 8)

  108. Cheyenne says:

    RAN:
    She told her husband she would have children when she was ready. He was too faithless to respect HER wishes, just as much as she put her own wishes first.
    *************************************

    “When she was ready”? By the time she was ready, Brad might have been 50 years old. Don’t forget he was already past 40 when he left her. He was no spring chicken any more. He wanted a family while he was still young enough to enjoy them.

    And there was no reason whatsoever why she could not have both a family and an acting career. Many much better actresses than she is have careers and children. Off the top of my head Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Gwyneth Paltrow come to mind.

    It’s interesting that Angelina said she never wanted to have a natural child until she realized how much Pitt wanted one, and then she wanted to give him one. Funny how you can do a complete one-eighty to make someone you love happy.

  109. Ophelia says:

    This is totally random, but I don’t have an opinion on the two of them.. I think on purpose. But I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a dress like hers? She looks amazing and I almost bought one like it on Pawley’s Island, but I didn’t have enough money. Is there a name for that kind of dress? ❓

  110. RAN says:

    Cheyenne, this is not a competition to prove who’s right and who’s not 🙄 You have your perspectives and I have mine. Yes, I believe BP is a faithless dog, marriage is a two way street, and they BOTH should have respected each other’s wishes. However, being a liar and a cheat is not ‘ok’ because someone didn’t give him what he wanted. IMHO.

    Who pays the price for his selfishness and inability to keep his faith? Anjelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston – this whole thread is an irrational fight about the two women – While he… the one at fault for ALL of this hate… is barely mentioned.

    Leave me out of directed comments, if you will. I won’t sink to some of the levels I see on these threads and my ability to rationalize won’t change either – just because someone *tells me* to look at things their way, doesn’t mean I think it makes sense.

  111. Martina says:

    Look-I’m not presuming to be anyone else but myself. What I wrote was IF I WAS HER. I believe I said in the beginning I don’t know nor care about either party. BUT if I was in a marriage and whether it is over or not-give me the respect and time I need when I’m in the public eye. The problem with people today is their lack of remembering these peoples past. If you’re going to put yourself out there to be judged expect either compassion or negativity. I’m not a Jen A fan at all. But I know that if I was in a relationship and all this shit happened to me and there was denial, denial, denial…then you read an article that it really was probably what you suspected-you’re opening all that crap back up when it wasn’t necessary. Ang doesn’t owe her anything. BUT someone can have respect for someones past and I don’t think anyone can sit here and say what happened wasn’t either hurtful or disrespectful TO A MARRIAGE. Regardless who it was. Now she’s getting some publicity out her “private photos” and this one little statement-no matter what it could do to someone else. Come on-you’re all talking about it.
    It’s been rehashed…period.
    I’m just saying that someone who is classy and can take what they have in the now-there’s no need to make statements that can hurt someone, just because they feel like it. Being the in the public eye, you have to play that game…or not…whatever you choose. But I stand by what I said-insensitive and without class.

  112. Cheyenne says:

    RAN: Nobody is trying to “tell” you anything, but here is a question: Brad was trapped in a loveless, childless marriage. He fell in love with another woman. Was he supposed to stay miserable until his wife let him go? What if she wouldn’t let go? Don’t forget, this is a very needy, possessive woman.

    I’m not trying to let Pitt off the hook; if anyone is the “homewrecker”, he is. But there wasn’t much home left to wreck; that marriage was on life support for two years before it officially ended.

    There was no “right” solution to this mess; only a workable one. The problem was it worked for only two out of the three people involved. But situations like this one happen every day in the week. Eventually they get sorted out, not always in the way you would like to see it sorted out. But all that is beside the point. It’s past time for everybody to bury this and move on.
