JustJen is not pregnant. JustJen is not getting married. JustJen will shoot you in the face if you keep asking her about these stupid damn rumors and now STFU and give JustJen a cigarette you motherchucking d-bag. Yes, it’s time for one of the most amusing and forthright interviews I’ve ever seen from Jennifer Aniston. The same Jennifer Aniston who told Elle Magazine that she “didn’t want to talk about” her relationship. The same Jennifer Aniston who has done TWO photo shoots with Justin Theroux for Terry Richardson. The same Jennifer Aniston who was a long-time smoker and has now quit and gained a little weight. That Jennifer Aniston doesn’t want you to mistake her post-cigarette, post-coital weight gain as a gut full of baby. The New Aniston is very direct. The New Aniston would totally shoot you in face if she was having a big nicotine craving:
After countless rounds of ring and bump-watch, Jennifer Aniston is setting the record straight – loud and clear.
“Rumor number one: I am not planning to get married any time soon,” the actress, 42, told Hello! magazine during a press conference to promote Five, her directorial debut. Aniston, who began dating Justin Theroux, 40, earlier this year adds that the ring she’s currently wearing is not of the engagement variety.
“I’ve been married once, and I don’t know if I’ll get married again,” she said. “But I can tell you that as of this very moment, I have no plan to get married. Got that?”
Aniston didn’t stop there.
“And rumor Number two: no, we’re not pregnant,” she said. “It’s just I quit smoking, so I’ve gained a couple of pounds.”
The private star previously told Elle magazine that she feels “no desperation” to have a baby. “If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. I’m at peace with whatever the plan is. But will you hate me if I say I don’t want to talk about my relationship?”
[From People]
I wonder if Justin is a smoker? I thought he was, but I can’t see Jennifer quitting if she was dating someone who still smoked – that would be rough. In any case, quitting is really, really hard to do, and I admire her for finally giving it up. That being said, she’ll probably relapse, as most reformed smokers too. Nicotine addiction is like alcoholism. You think to yourself, “Seriously, who would care if I just had ONE cigarette?” And then you’re back to a pack a day.
As for all of the marriage and babies stuff – obviously. She’s not pregnant, obviously. That’s what I’ve been saying, and I’ve been having a really good pregnant/not-pregnant assumption-streak lately. And she has no plans to marry? Is that because she’s waiting for Justin to ask her? Or because Justin doesn’t believe in marriage? Or because she worries that Justin just wants to get his hands on her assets?

colour me shocked!
As if that will stop the stupid tabloids! They’ll continue all those silly stories no matter what.
Glad to hear she quit smoking though.
good for her for quitting. it will def improve her skin and I hope she can stick to it.
Awwww that’s too bad! Iz sad nowz! 8 years the big 5-0
the last pic cracks me up – she sure picked another winner! Nothing less than she deserves. Loves it.
Good for her for quitting smoking!!
seems like she is in a good place right now.. I hope so.. I like her. I hope she gets to break free from that past marriage that keeps following her around everywhere she goes.
I remember an interview Pitt did for Ocean 12 and Diane Sawyer was the interview and she asked the cast where they say themselves in 5 yaers and Pitt said kids, and was tearing up. I sat there thinking, ‘Yeah, they are not going the distance.’ And people still think it was wrong for him to initiate the end of that marrage
I dislike this bimbo so much that I’m incapable to post a comment. I wish she would fade into the sunset with Bobble-Head!!!!
Heidi and Justin were together for 14 years and did not get married. If she wants to get married she should have picked somebody else.
On the other hand, Daniel Craig and Satsuki were together for more than 7 years and got married to Rachel asap. So you never know how a relationship evolves.
Why would she want to have children? Her fans want her to have children so they project it upon her. At the moment, her lifestyle does not include wanting to have babies. She is having fun with her hot man.
But you never truly know…
Good on her for quiting the cigs.
Sometimes the only way to get the message across is to be direct – found that works well for me! Good for you Ms. Aniston!
See. This is an Aniston I could get on board with.
Just when I thought we could go 2 days in a row without one memeber of the triangle this comes up.
Fassy and Viggo are a far better topic to drool over.
I hear she “isn’t” going moose hunting either.
now watch and laugh at the wailing and moaning of the disappointed beauty parlour mums… lol btw didn’t she quit smoking before? and made an announcement and everything. and acting like a raging bitch on a press conference about a cancer awareness project seems to be part of the new bad-ass jen image lol, but really she needn’t remind us for the 387th time that she was married once.
haha, the last picture.
I kinda love stabby Aniston.
Also, she will throw a chair at you, byotch!
Cause that’s how JA rolls these days!
Thanks for stating the obvious, Jen!
No, seriously, I’m glad she finally let her fans know what many of us suspected. I didn’t realize she smoked cigarettes. I thought she was just a pot head.
Jennifer’s exact words were “AS OF THIS VERY MOMENT, I have no plan to get married.” So she could get engaged tomorrow and still be telling the truth.
This is a long way from swearing off on marriage forever. She left the door wide open for a wedding!!
Jennifer can easily carry a few extra pounds and women everywhere will now want to copy her perfectly round little pot belly.
Oh come on, even Aniston haters have to give it up to her for quitting smoking. I really hope she doesn’t relapse. I’m dealing with a family member who needs to quit smoking right now and won’t and it sucks.
Sooooo… Elle took up space in their mag just to print that Jennifer isn’t smoking anymore? Wow. That’s not boring at all, is it? ……….
I saw the interview @Tiffany mentioned, and it bothered me too. I felt like those were not tears of happiness. It was right around the time JA refused to call BP “the love of her life” in an interview, neglected to give him a shout out when she got her Golden Globe, and just generally bagged on him interviews, yet he always seemed so supportive of “his wife”. I think this was actually the beginning of the fork in the road in that marriage, not when AJ showed up.
Quitting smoking is a good thing. Also, I think she would look better (softer?) with a few pounds on her as she ages, so even the weight gain isn’t a bad thing. She was too skinny these last few years anyway.
She must have seem photos of herself in that dress and this is a pre-emtive strike against all the tabloid headlines tomorrow that point at that dress and her “bump”. She has been “pregnant” since last summer, so I guess she felt the need to deny now, not then…not sure why, but it is her business.
Wait, she was married before?
@Tiffany @Joe’s Mom I guess you guys are right I stole this excerpt from a different blog’s comment, but it gives a good idea about how Brad Pitt felt
http://www.rte.ie/ten/2008/0314/pittb.html
Actor and comedian Omid Djalili, who met Brad Pitt on the set of ‘Spy Game’ in 2000, claims that he gave the actor marriage advice after he married Jennifer Aniston.
The comic star revealed to the Daily Express newspaper: “I did a scene with Brad in the back of a taxi and it was only a few days after he had married Jennifer. I chatted to him for hours giving him advice about the three stages of marriage.”
He continued: “Stage one is perfection – blind love. Stage two is the difficult stage because you start to despise everything about her. If you can deal with the baggage you can possibly get to stage three – a harmonious marriage.”
Pitt and Aniston were married in July 2000 in Malibu and Djalili told the newspaper: “After six weeks Brad came up to me and said, ‘I’m definitely in stage two Omid!’”
— I guess I would be pissed too if I found out that everything I liked about the person I married turned out to be phony. From the looks to the imagemaker product personality down to the profession. And he tried to fake happiness, fake it till he made it, smoked himself silly for 6 years. Oh boy I would be pissed
Good on her for quitting smoking. I can say from experience it’s not easy. I quit cold turkey from two packs and day and haven’t had a cigarette for more than 20 years. You do put on a little weight when you quit, but it’s more than worth it. It’s like for the first time since you started smoking, you can actually taste food.
_________________________________________________________
@Anna: Your family member won’t quit smoking until HE (or she) decides they need to quit. Nagging and urging doesn’t help. Smokers have to decide for themselves.
I love how he covers himself with an umbrella and she carries the bag in the last photo.
When will these pregnancy rumors stop? Woman is in her 40’s, on the express train to menopause, sheesh… It seems to me she doesn’t want kids, not now, not ever.
@Tiffany:
“I remember an interview Pitt did for Ocean 12 and Diane Sawyer was the interview and she asked the cast where they say themselves in 5 yaers and Pitt said kids, and was tearing up. I sat there thinking, ‘Yeah, they are not going the distance.’ And people still think it was wrong for him to initiate the end of that marrage”
I remember that too. This is why I don’t feel the slightest bit sorry for Jennifer! They were a bad match! They clearly wanted different things and I always feel like kids is a dealbreaker.
My aunt had a healthy baby naturally at
age 44.
After her husband past away when she was 36 years old, after a very long battle with cancer.
She remarried at age 42.
Some people are clueless, it’s not the dark ages you know.
Many women around the world have kids after the age of 40.
Good that she has stopped smoking. Cigarette is one hell of a smooth criminal and besides it really decreases your chances to get pregnant and increases your chances to misscarry when you are pregnant.
I still beleive there is not enough prevention campaignes about one of the top 3 responsible of premature death in most developping countries.
Young people should never smoke the first cigarette, ever.
Hey wait!
Must ALL women have children? You wouldn´t put the same pressure on a man! This is 2011, women can decide and still be respected. I didn´t want to have kids, people thought I was strange and egoistic?! Egoistic? How? To whom? To the unborn child?
And didn´t any of you think about maybe she can´t have kids, but don´t want to talk about it?!
Maybe that´s what made Hypocrate Pitt a crybabay?
You guys don´t know the whole story here, you just full of assumption and opinions!
And by the way, I did have a kid, a son, joy of my life, but that´s another story…..
Did we read the same interview?
What the hell does her previous marriage have to do with her quitting smoking?
You people are OBSESSED! How do you parallel a 250 year old Brad Pitt interview to this?!?! Jesus!
@Cheyenne, thanks for the advice but how do you deal with a person who doesn’t care if they die from lung cancer? It just sucks watching someone throw their life away.
@ Pathetics. Its all goes back to her Elle interview recently and waaaay back to Vanity Fair. She just will not flat out say she does not want children. That interview and what @ Joe’s Mom point out was cracks in the armor.It’s like she is trying to hang on to something. While Pitt was no saint, after 7 years she is starting to show why their lives took different courses.
she just directed a movie about cancer…she HAD to stop smoking or everyone would call her out on the hypocrisy of bringing awareness to cancer when you are sucking on cancer sticks…she will be back smoking as soon as the press for the movie dies down…trust me, she doesn’t like the tiny weight gain…to vain…
@Anna, honestly, I wish I knew what to tell you. I have a feeling your family member secretly believes against all odds that he won’t get cancer from smoking. I used to work with a woman who was a heavy smoker for over thirty years. Everyone in the office tried to get her to quit with no success. The day she finally did quit was the day her doctor diagnosed her with lung cancer but by then it was too late.
I just look at him and think, would a guy with his style, the skinny jeans, the leather jacket, purposely playing the “cool” look, really go for a woman who wears a black pantsuit?!! Clothes are more than just what you wear, they are a projection of who you are… I think she’s gorgeous but seriously?!!
So did she stop smoking pot too? If so, maybe she is gaining weight from all the special brownies she is baking instead…
@Cheyenne, thanks again for taking the time out to comment. You sound like a really kindhearted person.
Judging by the constant scowl on Justin’s face he skipped stage one and went straight to stage two.
WTF does this guy have to be frowning about?
Dang, she’s rocking some serious lantern jaw in that picture.
WE ALL KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED ONCE!!!
Why did she have to drop that in? Because its been her bread and butter for 10 years.
Nothing wrong in saying you don’t want children. Just say it already.
I applaud anyone who stopped smoking. I’m glad I never started. That picture of the black lung in 7th grade scared me straight. Not to mention when my teacher said 1 cig takes off a few minutes of your life.. I did the math.. I need those extra minutes.
And at this point there has been pregnancy rumors or whatever for YEAR.. almost 14 years. think about it. since her marriage and after.. 14 years.
And at this point why is this even a topic anymore.
I really don’t like Jen as an actor (untalented and uninteresting) and am annoyed at the constant PR-driven image making. I do think she and Justin are quite a good couple. Considering the media explosion over her marriage ending I don’t blame her for not wanting to get married again. And considering her wealth is much more than his. Quite3 sensible really. Hope they last.
You guys know I don’t like Aniston but if she’s really serious about quitting smoking and is not doing it for a publicity stunt I’ve totally got her back. It’s a hellacious habit to break and I admire anyone who is able to do it.
I notice a lot of people in NYC where I live have quit or greatly reduced their habit. Maybe because due to heavy taxes cigarettes in NYC have gone up to $13 a pack. Not a carton, a pack. I wish they could tax those things out of existence.
_______________________________________________________
@WYIJM: Along with 3 or 4 kilos, you probably added 20 or 30 years to your life. Hang in there.
Well finally, thank goodness. Glad that she’s finally expressed what her fans already knew. No baby, no marriage. She is clearly enjoying bring both baby- and marriage-free.
And I’m glad she’s trying to quit smoking-it isn’t easy and she will likely slip up a number of times before she drops that poisonous crap for good but I’m happy that she’s working toward quitting.
What the flying fart does Brad have to do with this story? You Brange fans just can’t miss an opportunity to bring Brad into an Aniston thread.
It’s ok to not talk about him. Especially an old interview that has nothing to do with this story. Break the habit. Aniston is quitting smoking, how about y’all quit talking about Brange on Aniston threads and vice versa. I know it’ll be difficult, and you’ll relapse a few times but the Triangle will never die if people keep talking about the three of them as if they cannot be mentioned without the others.
I too knew her previous marriage was in TROUBLE years before it ended—-The subject of children was causing BRAD PITT to publicly lose composure, years before they broke up. I knew that for him to be so emotional about it, it must be something they fought/disagreed about.
Statement Analysis tells us there are NO ‘accidental’ phrases. Of course she had to mention her prior marriage!!! It’s been her bread & butter—Brad’s fame is her alimony. Pathetic.
Good for her if she is quitting smoking. I think she has tried before and gained weight then gone back. I hope it works for her – such a nasty habit.
I agree with the above poster – Brad / Jen years old now. They have nothing to do with each other. How about we leave them out of each others posts. Brad is happy / Jen is happy – the end. It is disrespectful to Angie to continue to talk about this. I know that if I was married and had six children with someone and all anyone could ever talk about was how ex-would not have children with him and how he cried about it – I would be a little upset. Move on guys and enjoy the partnership Brad and Angie have. Let the past go.
Hopefully she’ll continue on the non smoking path. It’s definitely understandable why she has gained weight, but the tabloids are what they are. The other terrible thing about smoking is that the longer the habit [and intensity – frequency of cigarettes] add to the difficulty of quitting. It took me 10 attempts, over a few years, to finally get into the frame of mind to actually consider myself a non-smoker, for me to stop. Now, two years later, I can’t even understand how I did smoke the 30+ cigarettes a day I smoked for more than a decade. Sure, it took another year to get rid of the ten kilograms I gained, but to me, what is weight gain when you’ve gained more years of your life and don’t literally stink of tobacco?
@Lucy “she just directed a movie about cancer…she HAD to stop smoking or everyone would call her out on the hypocrisy of bringing awareness to cancer when you are sucking on cancer sticks…she will be back smoking as soon as the press for the movie dies down…trust me, she doesn’t like the tiny weight gain…too vain…”
———————————————————
Yeah, I have to admit this is what went through my head as well.
I’m always a little surprised her image is one of being healthy.
With all the tanning and smoking and boozing, she’s like a poster child for how to GET CANCER, not prevent it.
If she’s being sincere about trying to stop, I hope it works. 42 is pretty old to finally quit, but it’s never too late. If she can manage to set a good example by quitting, she might actually do some good. I wish her luck.
Good for her.
Oddly enough for me, I smoked for 10 years and gave it up cold turkey. Never gained weight, never had cravings. I guess I was one of the very few lucky ones. I hear nicotine addiction is the worst of all, and believe me, I’ve had to wean myself off of Klonopin a time or two, so I count myself lucky, ’cause that was no treat.
It’s very hard to give up smoking or drinking. I don’t know what is harder.
Not many people can stop cold turkey, like you, theaPie. Yes, you’re lucky!
@Pat: I can’t see any rational person wondering if Brad Pitt is “still upset” about not having children with anyone but the woman he loves.
Aniston doesn’t want to talk about her relationship. Fine. She quit smoking and gained a few pounds. She’ll gain more. Those who think her skin will improve are high. She is going to suddenly age a decade. That’s what happens to most middle agers when they quit. And she is middle aged.
She isn’t… she isn’t….she isn’t…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Bedtime for me.
Nothing else to talk about but herself.
@Pat I am not sure what you are referring to but I agree. If you read my post I never mentioned this. Seems however that most Brad/Angie fans think that he is – weird. They mention it non-stop how Jen would not have kids with him and how this upset him so much- so disrespectful to Angie.
Does anyone else think it’s strange that she used the phrase “we’re not pregnant”. She’s pretty desperate for people to know that she’s a “we” now.
@ Pat: I don’t understand what you feel is “disrespectful to Angie” and I doubt if his past relationship with his ex-wife has ever caused her any concern about his relationship with her. They are happy with each other and their children and that is what matters to them. As for Aniston, she seems to be content with her life as it is, so I hope we have finally heard the end of “I will and I am and I do.”
@Mo I noticed that too. I think Jen has problems asserting her identity unless she’s with someone. Did anyone else notice how quickly she went for the hipster/fauxhemian look when she hooked up with Justin?
It is disrespectful to Angie as it makes it seem that Brad only used Angie because Jen would not have children with him. Brad cries on TV wanting children – little Jen’s as he called them – she would not have them – so he finds someone who would . Jen of course being his first choice. Do I believe this. No however when Angie’s fans continue to talk about it – it makes it seem this way. This is disrespectful to Angie. He had kids with Angie because he wanted to – not because Jen would not have them. However Angie/Brad fans seem to think otherwise with the way they talk.
And as long as the tabloids continue with their “Jen is pregnant” every week expect the “I” statements to continue.
AS for your statement “They are happy with each other and their children and that is what matters to them.” Apparently not so if he felt he had to fall all over himself saying sorry for mentioning that Jen was “boring”. Angie is not made of steel – obviously the tabloids and constant comparisons bother her. If you think that the whole Parade article didn’t bother her think again. And yes Brad’s image is very important to him. Being happy with Angie is not all that matters.
Oh so now she’s a direct talking NYer? Funny!
Maybe at this point in her life, she would be happy if Justin and her spent the next 14 yrs being in a committed relationship. After all, she hasn’t had a relationship this good in how many years? Why mess with that?
@ Anna
Don’t be fooled!
Anyone else think Julianne Hough looks like a younger version of what Jen Aniston looks like now (post plastic surgery)?
I read that she miscarried, twice. Is that true?
Pat,
You are saying HIS comments bothered Angie? Based on what?
He is concerned about his image you say. How does that involve Angie being bothered. I don’t believe Brad was bothered, more like clever. Wanted it out there and anything after that was meaningless. His truth and his feelings. Angie was not a part of that past. She is his present and future.
As for the kids, the 3 non bio kids he adopted from her remove all doubt, that he is not with her because Jen did not HAVE his kids. When did he say Lil Jens? Is there a link? I know about Lil Hers and he has 3 of those.
@Pat, #65 … “It is disrespectful to Angie as it makes it seem that Brad only used Angie because Jen would not have children with him. Brad cries on TV wanting children – little Jen’s as he called them – she would not have them – so he finds someone who would . Jen of course being his first choice. Do I believe this. No however when Angie’s fans continue to talk about it – it makes it seem this way.”
Your concern for Angie is touching, but this sounds like one of the conspiracy theories over at the Ian Halperin forum about Brad being secretly in love with Jen, and how he desperately wants to get back with her.
All the references to Brad’s long documented desire for kids ‘is’ relevant to Jen’s statement above about not being pregnant. The relevance is this: Each year that passes without Jen getting pregnant makes her adamant statement “I did, I do, I will!” in response to the question of whether her ‘not’ wanting kids contributed to her divorce from Brad, seem like smoke on the wind. It also indicates that she may not want kids–which is absolutely okay–and may not have ever wanted kids.
The point is that feeling the way he did about kids, there is no way Brad would have slipped an engagement ring onto Jen’s finger without first discussing the matter. And if Jen never really wanted to have kids, then it was really ‘uncool’ of her to marry Brad, don’t you think?
The emotion Brad displayed whenever he discussed having kids while he was married doesn’t indicate to anyone–except perhaps those pushing the notion–that Brad ‘used’ Angelina only to fulfill his desire to have kids. It merely explains why he became attracted to someone with whom he was, and apparently still is, in love with much more compatible.
To all those blaming Jen for being the boring mate in the marraige and Brad being an ‘innocent victum husband’
This is utter BS. He was with her for 7 years in total 7 that is enough time to know a person relativly well.
Marraige is hard work, who doesn’t get annoyed with their marraige mate sometimes.
Brad only left when he met someone
else – Fact
Love how Jen stated everything pont by point.
Glad she is happy.
@Pat, #65 … “AS for your statement “They are happy with each other and their children and that is what matters to them.” Apparently not so if he felt he had to fall all over himself saying sorry for mentioning that Jen was “boring”. Angie is not made of steel – obviously the tabloids and constant comparisons bother her. If you think that the whole Parade article didn’t bother her think again.”
First … I apologize for the double post, but I forgot to tack my comment below onto my earlier post before the allotted ‘Edit’ time expired. :”>
Finally … no where in his “Parade” interview did Brad say that Jen was boring. He said ‘he’ was bored with ‘his’ life before and during his marriage. That means he felt he had no purpose, which has nothing to do with Jen and everything to do with Brad. So he got up off that couch and did something about it, didn’t he?
Unlike Jen, Angie is much too busy with Brad and the kids and her work to anxiously await the weekly issue of “US” magazine so that she can follow every step that Jen and Justin make.
Again, I do think it was a hard choice for Brad to up and leave Jen,but he was inlove wIth Angie and knew there was something special there.
Even Angie said that she helped Brad through the divorce. Something about he was married to”HIS BEST FRIEND” (Angie’s words)
So enough with this whole “Brad couldn’t stand being married to Jen”
That is just stupid.
haha in the last photo he doesn’t even share the umbrella with her. Not very gentlemen-like haha.
Hypocracia, we’ve been over this a dozen times or more on here. If Aniston couldn’t haver children, she would have said something by now, considering her best friend Courteney had many miscarriages and went public with her battle to have children; Aniston would have spoke up too, to support her cause. Stop looking for excuses.
Also, you call Brad a “hypocrate” (sic) I think you mean hypocrite. But HOW is he a hypocrite? You judge Brad but then when it comes to aniston you turn around and say “we don’t know the full story”. Make up your mind, will you? You’re the only hypocrite.
Actually addie, far from leaving Aniston when he metsomeone else, Brad and Jen had been living apart by Aniston’s own admission, months before, before he even starting filming M&MS.
FFS why does every comment have to degenerate into yet another analysis of the marriage?
How many years has it been? Do some of you have lives?
idgi. i quit smoking about 4 years ago and i didn’t gain any weight. but maybe that is because i didn’t start eating more just because i craved cigarettes. i believe in the value of going cold turkey because as long as you replace it with something else, food, alcohol, nicotine gums… etc. You’ll carry on with the addict mentality. So that is my advice to anybody who wants to quit: don’t eat more than you used to. If you really want to have something, drink more water. It’ll cleanse your body and stop your cravings.
and now 4 years later i can’t even believe that i was that person who smoked 2 packs a day! i remember feeling desperately addicted to them but now it seems incredible, like that was a different person’s memory. i feel like i had never began smoking in the first place. so hang in there and you’ll make it =)
@Auds: I agree, but for some reason there are people who speak like they were the 2nd wife in Brad and Jen’s marraige, digging up nonsence and using it as some proof that Jen kept him a miserable prisoner.
Brad and Jen had some happy memories together, why is that such a crime?
@ Addie
Maybe the 2 years of therapy and marriage counselling have something to do with the impression that indeed something was hurting him deeply in that marriage and that he was indeed miserable to be emotionally wrecked to see a shrink.
Two years in a 4 and half years marriage is pretty serious, especially when those happened at the very beginning of that marriage. It’ symptomatic of the ‘health’ level of a union and are obvious signs that something serious has damaged it, damaged the mutual trust between spouses and damaged the trust towards the institudtion of marriage.
But i agree with you, let the past be the past. Everyone seem happy now.
Will she ever be famous for something else than being left from someone or cheated or getting with someone.I think it’s pathethic if I would be her I would be pissed of.(I mean she actually is an actress I know but it’s all about her being desperate )
Maybe Brad Pitt should become a very direct NYorker:
First, I did love JA but our marriage didn’t work out.The reasons our marriage didn’t work out are nobody’s business but mine and Jen’s.
Second, I do love AJ and not just because we have children together.Whether or not we marry, gay marriage and our children’s opinions aside, is our business and no one else’s.
Third, let it go already people we’ve all moved on.
Do you think there’s any chance this would ever happen? Nope, me neither.
Jennifer Anniston was famous before she married Brad Pitt. I’d hardly call the woman desperate. She’s attractive, rich, famous and right now, in a relationship that makes her happy. Good for her.
I know Jennifer gets ragged on a lot on here and other blogs/tabloids. But I feel for her, especially the marriage/baby questions. Not every woman wants to get married (or in her case, marry again) and/or have babies! I hate the “poor Jen” attitude when it comes to this issue. She is in a place where she is living her life as she wants it. It’s okay to not want marriage or babies. Not having those two things does not make an unfullfilling life. I just wish she was ballsy enough to be outright with her choices.
Not having those two things does not make an unfullfilling life
———————————
This is NOT a universal truth shared by everyone. Some people are so miserable when they hear they can’t have children that they go as far as committing suicide. plenty of women go into a depression phase.
It’s a an ovrerewhelmingly shared sentiment to have children. Belitteling its importance is betraying a reality most human beings, most primates share.
It seems that for a lot of people throuhout the world marriage and/or children are paramount in the pyramid of needs and wishes in life and a deal breaker.
The problem arise when those questions haven’t been debated and taken seriously into account pre marriage. The problems occur when the two spouses are not in the same page concerning those questions.
It’s legitmate for a woman or a man to not want children. It’s equally legitimate to want them and many people feel that their life is incomplete without them.
Many will consider not marrying or not living with someone who doesn’t want one when they themselves can’t see their life without kids.
‘Oh so now she’s a direct talking NYer? Funny!’
Well, she was born and raised in NY, lived there until her late teens. Doesn’t surprise me she would quickly convert back to the NY way of doing things.
As a mother how can I say my life would not be complete without children.
Of course it could have been – it just would have been a different life!
I am sorry but if you’re looking for children to complete your life no 1. that seems like an unnecessary burden to put on your children and 2. your job as a parent is to make them turn into independant adults.
When that inevitably happens and they leave the nest do you then revert to being incomplete?
The view stated above (sorry cant read the name) is very out-dated – now I think its a choice people make as opposed to a need.
The minute contraception was invented it became a choice.
@Pat: You seem to be fixated on some weird notion that Brad should be somehow punished for ending his marriage by pining away for his ex-wife, and you scrutinize every comment he makes for some “evidence” to back you up.
Brad has no regrets whatever. He is not “using”Angie to give him a family and he is not secretly longing to go back to Aniston. Au contraire, he probably thinks leaving her and starting over with Angie was the smartest move he ever made in his life.
@ 88 Imelda
Contraception is not available to the majority of women living on planet earth as most people from third world countries(99,99 %) have no access to them, let alone a gynecologist for that matter.
Also, culture, education will get in the way, hence the US with a string of a teen pregnancy inspite of contraception.
Lastly YOUR view is still yours and legitimate but not the only valuable truth and how all the rest of us should embrace it.
The other 6 + billions people on Earth have theirs and noone has the right to tell them that it’s outdated since all women have different culture, , different aims in life.
Also how one person can decide that every woman out there or man who want children and can’t should find another direction to fill complete and be happy inspite of, boggles my mind.
Again, this is not only a dream for most people, it’s a NATURAL deep rooted need in most primates, great apes included like mankind.
And like I said for a great deal of people around the world a life without children is out of the question and they will do anything in their power to have one, inclduing in some african country take a second wife backing by the first one, both families and society, because having children is worth it.
Every time I see pictures of these two, especially the ones Terry Richardson has taken, I feel like I’m in 1997 or something.
Having children is no one’s obligation, and no one should try to force their partner, or talk their partner into having children, if the other half isn’t certain or ready, or simply doesn’t want to. Often, people don’t have an opinion, or are too young to even think about it, and that’s fine too.
That said, when you enter a relationship with someone who declares from the start what they want in life (I want kids, and actually rather soon / I don’t want kids at all, or definitely not in the next five years) the issue *is* going to come up and bite you in the ass. Life would be simpler if people were simply more honest to themselves and their partners about the big things in life.
@Kiki, #84 … “Jennifer Anniston was famous before she married Brad Pitt. I’d hardly call the woman desperate. She’s attractive, rich, famous and right now, in a relationship that makes her happy. Good for her.”
So were all the other “Friends” actors, but were are they now? If not for her marriage to and divorce from Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston would also be a footnote in the “Best of TV” TV Guide edition, and not the Queen of mediocre Rom-Coms she is today.
Are people really this stupid? It’s not the fact that she wishes to remain childless that irritates the commenters here, it’s the way that she never admits it and has acted like she wanted kids for years and kept milking it up until now. She kept saying that she always wanted children, that she’ll be barefoot and pregnant, that she doesn’t want to miss out on it blahblah… but the thing is her ex wanting children so badly seemed to be one of the main issues. If one party really desires to be a parent, and the other really does not, but keeps on dragging and postponing and acting like she really wants to also, well I imagine this would be a huge issue for some married couples. Don’t you? And no it wasn’t the commentators here who brought up her past marriage, it was Jeniston herself! With yet another half-implied throwback mentioning “I was married before…” Just like she called her ex her husband and not her ex, and her countless other implications in all her damn interviews! Learn how to read/comprehend or shut it. Figures that the fanatic idolizers of a posterchild of mediocrity cannot be the brightest bulbs themselves, but come on they could at least make an effort in reading and perhaps even understanding!
Can someone please help me with this? I’ve been curious about the ‘unflattering statements’ Jennifer Aniston’s Mom made about her in some tabloid that caused Jen not to invite her to the wedding. Does anyone know what the ‘unflattering statements’ were?
All this time I’d thought Jen didn’t invite her Mom to the wedding because she wrote that book about her and Jen titled “From Mother and Daughter, to Friends.” That title doesn’t sound very confrontational or primed to embarrass to me, so it must have been something else. And man, it really must have been horrible for Jen to cut off absolutely all contact with her mother for so long.
Can someone help me out? Thanks. 🙂
Of course she’s not rushing to get married. She’s beyond wealthy. He is not. She’s not a fool. But very very telling when she said “we’re” not pregnant – not I’m not pregnant. That lets the cat out of the bag, the (we) are trying. The we bit is a babymode couple.
Emma: Frankly I think all of them are living off residuals and never have to work again. But some do. Poor Matthew Perry had drug problems which killed his career but he had Mr. Sunshine for a season. Lisa Kudrow has her own show on Showtime and does small parts in movies. Matt LeBlanc did Joey and was on Episodes on Showtime. Courtney Cox had huge success doing the Scream movie series and has Cougar Town. And David Schwimmer directs and does the Madagascar films.
None of them have faded into obscurity. They don’t have Aniston’s level of success due to a number of factors (she was the most famous and popular Friend due to her haircut and the Ross and Rachel ongoing storyline) including her failed marriage but they are in no way a ‘footnote’.
In regard to your other comment, apparently Nancy Dow talked to a tabloid tv show and made disparaging remarks about Friends and Jennifer pretty much just to cash in on being Aniston’s mother. And then right when Aniston was close to forgiving her, she wrote the book which was all about their estrangement, private stories about her childhood and was yet another attempt to capitalize on her daughter’s fame. That’s when she cut her off seemingly for good.
The title of the book is a passive aggresive nod to their estrangement (we used to be mother and daughter and now we’re just friends even though they weren’t at the time) and references her famous daughter’s tv show. I’ve read a few pages and it’s a super melodramatic bunch of nonsense.
What kind of douche man carries an umbrella? I’ve never seen a man afraid to get his hair wet. Even vain Miss Jen just threw on a hat. I don’t think I could walk down a street with a man carrying an umbrella. I would be laughing too hard.
I don’t think every woman needs to have kids or feel a lick of shame if she doesn’t want them. But you don’t tell a man you’ll give him kids, then renege and expect your marriage to last. Brad always wanted kids. Always. She lied to him and lead him on for years. Then it just sickened me that she acted so shocked that he moved on and whined for years like she had been unfairly treated. The kid issue is a guaranteed deal breaker. It is too important to lie about. And she did. That’s why I have never liked her since. And I did like her on Friends. I even liked most of her early RomComs. I thought she was funny and cute. But I think she treated Pitt like crap, and then made him carry the blame for the breakup when it was clearly HERS. That is dirty. So I don’t like her anymore. I doubt she loses any sleep over it.
@smh : Please refrain from asking people if they are stupid.
Also, I’m sorry but last time I checked, Jen was still a human being with the ability to change her mind and not have a firm yes or no about the kids thing. Kids are a BIG deal that will change a person’s life forever so no it is not so cut and dry of will you or won’t you.
It is her choice to make and no one elses buisiness really, so what if she is just undecided? She has a few more years and money for a serogate or to adopt if she decides she wants that eventually.
@Jaxx It just occured to me that maybe he doesn’t want his hair to get wet because it may be added hair. I don’t know what this prodecure is called but a friend of mine who was bald had it made. They took many and many folicules from the back of his head, where hair was still abundant, and each and every one was planted on the front. Which is why he couldn’t get it wet, while the rest of us went swimming he would wait by the beach lol. He kept losing hair in spite of this. His hair strands individually looked very strong and black, but they would still fall from his head and whenever another strand was found he would grow so upset 🙁 Poor guy. Anyway if that is the case then Justin should have taken the hat from her and given her the umbrella still lol
And Jeniston can change her mind about having children after having babbled for the 8th millionth time about how much she wants to have them, idgaf, but it’s old and really her fans don’t mind her going all hypocrite ending somebody’s 14 year old relationship, so why would they realize that something is fishy here? It’s hard to face the fact that your idol is the definition of fake and manipulative isn’t it. Anyway there’s no point in talking sense to the insensible. there was a vid on youtube where howard stern and co were ripping on jennifer aniston! it’s funny to hear how she was all “yes i want kids/no i don’t want kids/yes i want kids” even back in 2005 and before that 😀
If she wants to have children or not that is her decision. Also, i don’t know why media and some people insist on having children. Women are not a mindless vessels for caring children. That is not only purpose of being woman. She can adopt.
Today every teen can have a child and be on that stupid mtv show.
Why does this *she never wanted kids* issue still come up? She did! Her husband left her first. Maybe she hasn’t met a guy she would like to have as her child’s father. Since when does she owe the public an explanation of why she remains childless?
@smh: perhaps it’s you who has the comprehension problem?
“Anyway there’s no point in talking sense to the insensible.”
This coming from some nut who repeatedly posts poorly-written novellas about a celebrity she detests.
What Imelda #88 said. Excellent post.
@Blondie: If she wanted children, she would have had or adopted them, whether or not she was single. It didn’t stop Sandra Bullock or Sheryl Crow. But I remember an interview where she was asked if she would ever consider adopting a child and her answer was a flat “No”.
As someone said upthread, I have no problem with her wanting kids or not, it’s her business and her choice. But don’t bullshit your partner about wanting them if you don’t, and then be surprised if he bails on you. Children is one area of marriage on which there is no compromise. You have them, or you don’t.
Cheyenne how do you know she lied to him? You don’t! Nobody but Pitt and Aniston know the truth. And not everyone wants to adopt or raise a child on their own. I didn’t! If I hadn’t been married I wouldn’t have had children.
Blondie, do you honestly believe Brad Pitt would have married her if she had been up front with him from the beginning and told him no, I do not want children? Do you? Really?!
Blonde on the dock: I don’t want children unless I’m married like you. I don’t think I’d have the fortitude to be a single mother. I don’t think Aniston does either.
It’s possible she doesn’t quite know what she wants. She wants kids (maybe) but doesn’t want them without marriage but she has problems with marriage stemming from both her parents’ and her own divorce. So she’s possibly stuck in an emotionally difficult position. Does she want to get married (and possibly divorced) again? Would she want any children she (possibly) has to deal with that? She clearly didn’t take it well when she was a kid and then she ended up getting a divorce herself. So in summation, I think it’s possible that she wants kids if she’s married but has issues with marriage so she’s stuck. And I think it’s possible she wanted kids when she married Brad but then realized that she just didn’t trust their bond enough to bring kids into it.
That is just my theory of course. She looks quite pleased without marriage or babies. Those are two major stressors that she doesn’t have to deal with so maybe she’s just happy with her life as it is.
Agin, NOBODY knows the ins and out except Brad and Jen. Finish, end of story.
So stop writting soap operas about how she coned him into marrying her with the promise of a baby.
They spent 7 years together, which seemed for the most part happy even without kids.
Angie herself said these two were best friends, meaning very close, so I’m sure they knew where each stood with various issues.
Well, I remember at the start of the marriage, she told the presses that “she couldn’t wait to be a young mother,” and “I love everything about babies!” Of course, the press ran with this, giving the fame addict even more attention. Then, later, they did an interview together, and Brad said he wanted a “soccer team” of kids, and she spit out, “you’ll be lucky to get one or two.” It seems like children were part, or some, of the problems in that relationship. I would want to be married to a nitwit who couldn’t make up their mind about one of the most important decisions you could ever make, and maybe, neither did Pitt. To me, she sounds like a real pill, saying one thing, and then doing the opposite.
Kinda like her declaration that Pitt is missing a “sensitivity chip,” and yet here she is years later taking these pictures with a guy she cheated with, rubbing it in the ex-girlfriend’s face. I mean the girlfriend hadn’t even moved out of the house, and he and Aniston are out on dates, and going to public awards shows together. Tacky, tacky, tacky…her hypocrisy there is stunning.
Loling so hard at blonde on the block’s complete obliviousness to reality. Firstly, Aniston LIED to Brad. She deceived him. She promised she would concentrate on getting pregnant and a family when Friends ends (finally, after saying next year, then one more yar, then Friends is renewed and oh after this year, I swear!), only to THEN turn around and sign up for six (6) movies back-to-back, 2 of which Brad had to find out about from Variety magazine. The straw that broke the camel’s back? Aniston lied and betrayed Brad, she used him and instead of being upfront and letting him go find someone who he could have children with. Brad did not leave her. She left Brad and their marriage herself. I can’t believe how wilfully (and perhaps deliberately) BLIND to the facts her apologists are.
Cheyenne dont let your dislike of Aniston cloud your common sense. It’s possible they did plan on having kids and he simply left before she ever became pregnant. Neither you or I were privy to their conversations regarding children. People don’t get married soley for the sake of having kids. All I’m saying is give her the benefit of the doubt regardless of whether you like her or not. You don’t know any more or any less than I do. People read way too much into what they read in the tabloids and make assumptions based on pure BS and emotion. Like TabbyCat!
Anyone else crazy, or is it just me for thinking a person should maybe date a bit longer , or do I dare say it, even get married before they have a baby? If Justin asked her to marry him, she’d do it in a second.
congrat jen for clear the gossip..eventhough still not much used cause the tabloid will keep using the same made up story..
and btw..for the so called posters who hate jen so much and act like they actually know who jen is basic on their own observation..really funny..its like they actually jen..cause they stated that she was lied to Bp that made him leaved her,thats she is so needy and desperate to get married..etc..
the problem is..if she is that needy..why she the one who decide to process with the divorce..and not just giving him the baby ..so he stay married with her.
the theory that Bp hate her for denied him a baby already being debunked by Bp himself..so do you said that BP lied?
Do not forget..he kept saying he still value her friendship..even made her a surprise birthday party after the seperation…and even defend her when jen saying Uncool statement about AJ comment..so there are no drama..only soap opera of the tabloids..with or without all of them involved.
anyway..marriage is a hard work,,sometime work and sometime not.
For what I witness..it seem both party already happy with their current partner..so good for them..
@Siska, #113 … “the problem is..if she is that needy..why she the one who decide to process with the divorce..and not just giving him the baby ..so he stay married with her.”
Well, I can think of three possible reasons why Jen may have gone ahead with the divorce. 1) Perhaps they’d had the ‘baby’ discussion/argument by 2004 and Jen had finally confessed that she never wanted to have kids. 2) Perhaps they both knew that the marriage was over by then and it was too late to bring a baby into the mess to ‘save’ things. 3) Perhaps Brad had already made up his mind to leave the marriage irregardless of whether or not Jen offered to have a baby, which left Jen no other option other than to file for divorce (maybe that explains a bit of the crying and hugging on the beach during their February 2005 vacation).
Jennifer Aniston isn’t pregnant, isn’t getting married & isn’t smoking…
and TRULY isn’t relevant.
