Brad Pitt took the kids to see ‘Hugo’ and almost ran into Aniston & Theroux

This is the most ridiculous story, and both People Magazine and Us Weekly are running with similar versions, so God knows. It’s probably true. It probably originated with some bored movie theater staffer, or maybe even a studio publicist trying to promote Hugo 3D. According to reports, Brad Pitt took his four older kids to Hugo 3D – no Angelina, so Knox, no Vivienne. Just Brad and his four oldest, and it doesn’t seem like there was a nanny on-hand either. So Brad took his kids to Hugo, and when the movie ended, he and the kids left the theater. What Brad, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh and the Empress didn’t realize was that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux had entered the same theater just moments before. DUN DUN DUN.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. For the third time since their 2005 divorce, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston nearly came face-to-face at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood Friday. (The couple have only been in the same place twice since their split: in 2009 at the Academy Awards and in 2010 at the Hope for Haiti telethon; they didn’t cross paths at either event.)

Pitt, 47, took four of his children with Angelina Jolie — Maddox, 10, Pax, 8, Zahara, 6, and Shiloh, 5 — to see the 2:00 showing of Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, starring Chloe Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen and Jude Law.

Once the family flick ended, Pitt and his brood headed to the parking garage just as Aniston, 42, and current love Justin Theroux entered the theater for a later showing.

“Justin and Jennifer skipped the popcorn and went straight in. Like five minutes later, Brad and the kids came out of the theater,” a source tells X17. “They just missed each other!”

Perhaps it was a good thing the ex-spouses managed to steer clear of each other. “They don’t talk,” an Aniston insider told Us Weekly in September. “She will always think of him as a jerk.”

I would like some eyewitness accounts of whether or not Jennifer and Brad actually made eye-contact if there were actually in the same theater for a few minutes. But maybe it was a large theater with several different entrances and exits. Maybe Brad, being on dad-duty, was just focused on herding the kids out of the theater and shuffling them off to the bathroom. Maybe Jennifer and Brad didn’t even notice each other. Or maybe Brad and Justin had a glaring contest while Empress Z (who is her mother’s daughter) gave Aniston the Side-eye of Doom. There was so much potential in this story! I want to know what went down in the theater.

    Let the conspiracy theories begin!

  2. lisa says:

    Nothing would have happened.. he would have said hi Jen. She would have introduced Justin. Brad would have shook his hand and he and the kids would have gone home like they did.

    Seriously this is beyond silly. What did they expect. Brad to grab Jen and abandon his kids and run off with her. Leaving Justin to take the children home to Angie. Dang it 7 years. We have had how many major events in the world. This hardly ranks up there with MAJOR EVENTS.

    Most exes don’t even talk or even care what the other is doing. they have been there and done that.

    The man took his kids to a movie. The end.

    • Cheyenne says:

      OMFG this is beyond funny. It wouldn’t have been even better if they had all three fallen on each other with knives and clubs, wouldn’t it? With the kids yelling “Yay, Dad! Kick his ass!” while they aim a few karate kicks and punches at Justin What’s-his-face and Jenny-poo. My God, these are adults we’re talking about. Hollywood isn’t all that big; sooner or later they are bound to meet up. And it will all go down very civilized, as you said.

      I’d expect this kind of crap from US Weekly, but People should be ashamed of themselves.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        On another note, I think you’re due over at the Lohan thread for a troll slaying. Apparently AngieJo is far worse than Lohan.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Pass. Every time I read a Lohan thread I want to take a good hot shower.

    • okeydokey says:

      Absolutely. It is not going to be some kind of catastrophic event when they cross paths.

    • G says:

      What would have been really interesting to see is how the kids and Jen would react to each other. Do you think the kids know? Maddox is old enough to get on the internet. Would they shake her hand or hug her if Brad introduced them? Damn, the paps and anyone in the theater with a phonecam would’ve made some serious money for Christmas if that had happened.

  3. Flan says:

    Only thing I ever saw Theroux in is John Adams (where others stole the show), but I guess he can now ask a lot more money since this relationship has multiplied his celebrity by a large factor.

    Why does Jen dress like Theroux all the time?

    And lol@Brad’s hippy look.

  4. Miami D. says:

    SO????????????

  5. Rita says:

    A couple weeks ago Aniston and Theroux passed Angie and Brad on the 405 on their way to a Latvian charity. Thank God they were going in opposite directions or the road rage would have ruined the event.

    As it was, Angie kept screaming, “I told you to take the Santa Monica express” while beating Brad about the head with Shiloh’s stuffed dinosaur…will this ever end?

    @brin- Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. With a body like yours, you’ve got a lot to be thankfull for and so do the dongs in your life.

  6. leetruth says:

    I am sure Aniston planned it. Brad is living his happily with Angie.

    • LisaM says:

      @leetruth
      Didnt you know that Jen has a team of private detectives that stalk Brad. Her plan was to taser him while Justin distracted him by trying to abduct one of the kids. She was then going to whisk him off to Mexico, where they can smoke weed, drink cocktails and rekindle their love. Justin of course would have gotten a huge pay day for his role.
      Unfortunately she was spotted by some of the staff members so now she will have to wait for another opportunity.

      • leetruth says:

        Well, what can I say? I think Angie got wind of Jen’s desperate attempt to get at Brad and scuttled it! HAHAHAHA!!!! LOL!! Conspiracy galore?!!?

  7. Scott says:

    Say what you want to but he was way hotter being with Aniston than Jolie. And Jennifer is hot stuff all the time. And yeah he is a jerk.

    • lisa says:

      Well whatever he is.. I’m sure he is quite happy with the choices he has made in his life.

      Got everything he always said he wanted. FAMILY..

      • ahoyhoy says:

        After seeing so many Brad & Jen interviews in which he was practically begging to start a family, and she was SO FAKE pretending she wanted kids too—I am very glad for him that he finally has the family he wanted. And a partner who challenges his MIND.

      • click says:

        “And a partner who challenges his MIND. ”

        ————–

        Oh yeah, because Pitt and Jolie are the uber-intellectuals in Hollywood. They spend their evenings discussing existentialism of the overpaid celebrities in the 21st century along with the debt crisis in Europe and how can their Sainthood solve the world hunger all the while keeping Louis Vuitton bags in good sight of the paps.

      • Cheyenne says:

        @click: Beats the hell out of sitting on the sofa smoking pot and staring vapidly at each other every night, doesn’t it? Which is what pretty much summed up his married life.

    • dede says:

      yup and Brad was tired of sitting around tanning and being hot stuff..he wanted a FAMILY and has said so for YEARS..he finally got what he wanted

      • Scott says:

        Oh yeah I bet he got what he wanted to. A unstable girlfriend and bunch of children (does he remember their names?). And total media exposure. I am sure that his fantasy about having family crashed to the ground really hard. Fantasy and reality are not the same things. Sorry but he doesn’t look happy for me at all. Yeah. His dreams came true.

      • mln76 says:

        @Scott Just because you don’t want 6 kids why be so negative about someone elses??? Brad has said for as long as I can remember that he’s wanted a houseful of kids and he has what he wants. You can spew as much shade as you like but those kids are growing up to be some of the least affected and most boisterous kids I have ever seen in Hollywood(despite all the hate that is thrown at that family for existing) and they obviously enjoy spending time with their Dad. Brad has enough power and money that if he was unhappy he’d leave just like he left an unhappy marriage all those years ago.

      • Seal Team 6 says:

        @Scott

        Brad Pitt doesn’t have “a girlfriend,” he has a long-term partner, and they have an agreement not to marry until marriage equality is reached in the US. You can. however, go all Olivia and call her his “concubine,” because that always makes me lol. It’s just so Old Testament.

        Any REAL facts about AJ being unstable? No, didn’t think so. All of you Female Firsters do realize that if she WAS unstable, she wouldn’t be insurable, wouldn’t get starring roles, wouldn’t get movies she’s producing or directing greenlighted, wouldn’t be allowed to keep her kids, and wouldn’t be a UN rep.

        Do y’all not realize that YOU make people dislike Jennifer Aniston, rather than Aniston herself???

      • Jill says:

        @mln76
        Sweetie darling I hope you are young enough to wait few years. You’ll see all these “Daddy&Mommie Dearest” books on bookstores shelves sooner than you think. Let’s face it celebs adopt or/and have kids for different reasons – mostly for good. However there is a lot of exeptions. I’m not saying that they are bad parents but I can’t imagine that they are able to give enough attention to each child. They have a lot of kids and their work and lifestyle are far from stability which I think is basic thing. So stop they are not parents of century they don’t get Oscar for this role. It’s not that easy.

      • mln76 says:

        @Jill that’s a really ugly thing to say. Just to project your own dislike on them to decide that they will have ‘Mommy Dearest’ like stories to tell while you rub your hands with glee in some corner. Since the break-up with Brad running back to Jen with his tail between his legs never happened -Now people want Old Testament style punishment inflicted on those children.
        Shame on You!

      • Jill says:

        @mln76
        Sweety Darling are you really so naive? Do you realise that he, she and their kids are real people and they have real problems? It’s not edited Benetton ad. Do you really think that in this multicultural and multiracial family there is no conflicts? Sorry but they are growing up and it’s just a beginning. You can be sure that there will be tons of news about them in tabloids in very near future. Drugs, sex, fights. Some really juicy stuff. Can’t wait.

      • mln76 says:

        @Jill I am not your darling or sweetie please don’t tarnish ABFAB with your delusions.
        I find it interesting that you are accusing me of making over the top statements when you are the one claiming there is abuse going on in the Jolie Pitt household based on nothing but dislike for the parents. I am quite aware that they are human beings and that NO ONE IS PERFECT are you aware that not everyone you dislike is inherently evil, abusive, or cruel? I never claimed they were perfect I believe I used the word boisterous(look at Shiloh in that pic she’s pretty effing boisterous) .
        Of course it isn’t easy to raise children whether or not they are adopted. The idea that having an Asian or African child somehow is related to abuse is skewed. Are you implying that because there are children of other races in the home the white children are being abused by their presence? Are you claiming that any natural sibling rivalry that may occur is going to turn into a race riot? Are you implying that the adopted children would be better off in orphanages (or in Zahara’s case probably worse) than living in a family with white parents and siblings?If you believe any of that I feel very sad for you.

        Finally having worked with children and adolescence that have actually been abused I don’t use terms like Mommy Dearest lightly because actual abuse has nothing to do with being exposed to different cultures it’s systematically destroys a child’s self esteem and sense of self. These kids display such strong personalities and confidence and differ strongly in aura from the kids that I worked with.

      • hatuh says:

        @ Jill – I am not a fan of this couple AT ALL. In fact, I dislike them both very much. Howver, I think that even if the kids don’t get attention from the parents (which is doubtful – I think they get plenty) they are better off than they would have been starving in an orphanage in some 3rd world country. They will have the love of nannies and each other, and they will have every financial opportunity imaginable. How can this be a bad thing? I think they should adopt 5 more and get some more nannies.

      • Carrie says:

        Scott, it seems to me that Brad escaped from an unstable, neurotic woman and got together with a stable salt of the earth person. And he ONLY has 6 children. You call that a lot? Wtf? Of course he can remember all their names. If having 6 children is a big deal to you, I feel sorry for you. Brad seems and genuinely exudes much more happiness than he has ever experienced. Sorry that reality bothers you.

      • Carrie says:

        Jill, I truly feel sorry for you if you think 6 children is a ‘lot’ and that they can’t spend enough time with them. In years gone by, families of 11+ weren’t unheard of and were quite the norm, none of them suffered and all seemed to have enough parental time. And of course all families have fights, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to having mommie dearest books like you are deliberately over-inflating it to be. You seriously need to stop over-exaggerating a normal every day family because you can’t stand the thought that this family is just like any other family on earth, and not about to implode like you wish they would, your ‘can’t wait’ hateful and spitefully immature comment says it all. You WANT this family to implode for your own selfish and maliciously evil sick satisfaction. You are the reason loonifers are seen as the hate-filled wackjobs they are.

    • LeeR says:

      Brad was 11 years younger when he hooked up with Aniston of course he looked better. As to your opinion that Aniston is hot — that really is just your opinion. My opinion is that she looks like those generic Beverly Hills broads trying to look 20 years younger than they actually are. As to Brad being a jerk, at least he separated from Aniston before he began being seen with Jolie unlike Aniston who introduced Justin as her boyfriend to her FIVE colleagues months before he separated from his common law wife of 14 years. WHo’s the bigger jerk?

      • HotPockets says:

        Most states do not recognize common law marriages and in order to be considered a common law marriage, one must file joint tax returns together for longer than seven years.

        Also, neither New York and California recognize common law and do not grandfather the marriage into the state if you move from another state that does recognize it. Just thought I would give you the heads up.

        I always forget how hot Brad Pitt use to be, goodness.

      • Katherine says:

        The fact that common law marriage is not legally recognized is not the point. I suspect you know that. The point is this was a very long term domestic relationship. Doesn’t even matter if it was a healthy relationship or not. What matters is that it deserved respect and a respectful ending – not an ending with a humiliated and hurt partner suddenly being forced out of her home.

        I can easily believe that this “headline” was orchestrated and/or planted by Aniston’s people. Plenty of time to set it up while Brad was in the theater with the kids.

        Or not. LOL!

        It’s not clear when the pics of Aniston and Theroux were taken – those picks could be when they left the theater explaining why it was darker and why they are bundled up in sharp contrast to the Jolie Pitt kids who seem to be dressed for the 76 degree weather LA was having that afternoon.

        What is the point of the Jennifer fans constantly harping about how they think Brad looked better when he was with Jennifer? Is that supposed to mean he was happier? That hardly ever means that in a man? Men who are happy where they are usually become complacent about their looks. But in fact Brad looked pretty awful for a while with that long beard he had when he was with Jennifer. The Troy preparation and his Mr and Mrs Smith filming appearance explain more to me than anything else.
        Personally I was not a fan of the pretty boy Brad. I much prefer the more masucline and lived in look he sports now. He still cleans up beautifully and makes 47 look spectacular.

    • samira677 says:

      Extremely pathetic that you think looks is more important than happiness and family.

    • sara says:

      Agree with Scott, Pitt + Aniston = were a HOT couple.

      • Carrie says:

        Pitt and Aniston were the most UNhot couple out, and the most mismatched miserable couple, a massive mistake.

    • Cheyenne says:

      @Scott: If you call “hot stuff” having a tanned and toned body and fluff between the ears, then I guess she qualifies as hot stuff. How old are you, BTW? Fourteen and a half?

    • leetruth says:

      He is not a jerk. Brad will always remain SCORCHING HOT! Who wants Barbie man Theroux?

      • Jill says:

        Damn I want him. I love his devilish look.

      • Carrie says:

        Exactly, who wants an ugly, skeevy balding greaseball like Theroux. He is repulsive-looking. She may as well get with Hugh Hefner, who is better looking than Theroux.

    • Mrs. Odie 2 says:

      We were all hotter in our 30s than 40s. Life is cruel.

  8. normades says:

    Pax is growing on me. What a cute little man.

  9. mia girl says:

    Wow! Stars are just like us! They also have uncomfortable and awkward encounters with their ex at the movies… Especially love that Anniston had a large pimple on her chin and was holding a giant box of Bunch a Crunch, how embarrassing… oh wait, that’s my story. Maybe stars are not so much like us afterall.

  10. John Wayne Lives says:

    I can’t help but think Brad would have stiffled a chuckle and just kept walking with his kids.

  11. Leticia says:

    I don’t care about any of these people. But wow, look how golden they looked in that photo from the past. I forget how cute Brad Pitt used to be.

    • islandgirl says:

      Yes golden and fake. I love the brad pitt he is now than back then. It was all superficial back then

      • Jill says:

        You’re right he is not superficial anymore. He is desperate to stay relevant. That’s why he used Aniston to promote his movie and is using his family all the time.

      • Cheyenne says:

        @Jill: Nice try, honey. He needs Aniston like a moose needs a hat rack. She can’t even get her own movie financed; what can she do for him?

      • Heine says:

        Cheyenne: Oh my god, ENOUGH with that crap. As has been said countless times, there is nothing unusual about her film taking some time to get made and it has been reported that the script has been going through rewrites which plagues plenty of productions not just Aniston’s.

        And Brad mentioned his marriage during the Moneyball promotion. He was at liberty to do it, sure, but its pretty cut and dry that he used his marriage to her to garner attention for the interview and consequently garner attention to the film.

      • Emma says:

        @Heine …

        But no body talked about “Moneyball” after Brad’s Parade interview. All everyone talked about (and there are numerous comments here at Celebitchy as a testament) was poor Jen … how Brad dissed poor Jen … how Brad can’t seem to get over poor Jen … how Brad is still humiliating poor Jen.

        You seem like an intelligent person. I can’t believe that you read Brad’s Parade interview and failed to comprehend that Brad was talking about ‘himself’ and his emotional/psychological state before and during his marriage. He wasn’t happy with ‘himself,’ which had absolutely nothing to do with Jen.

        Did you really not get that from his interview???

      • Cheyenne says:

        @Heine: “some time” indeed. It’s been stuck on the drawing boards for three years already and at the rate it’s going it will probably be stuck there for infinity. She might as well give it up and go make another rom-com, that’s about all she’s good for.

      • Heine says:

        Emma: Er yea, people were talking about Moneyball. Every headline was ‘While promoting Moneyball, Brad talks marriage’ or the first line is, ‘In Parade Magazine to promote Moneyball, Brad blah blah blah’. The comments sections might have been full of triangle nonsense but I suspect people who didn’t know Brad was in a new movie were well aware after the interview 🙂

        Cheyenne: Movies take a long time to make. Some take longer than others for a multitude of reasons. It is not unusual for a movie to be in some stage of preproduction for years. And I’ll give this example once again: Steven Spielberg, God of Hollywood, has been trying to get Jurassic Park 4 off the ground since 2002 (announced with an estimated 2005 release date). The issue of course being script problems.

        Let’s give her a few more years to get a decent script for a much lower budget prison musical.

      • Emma says:

        @Heine who wrote: “Emma: Er yea, people were talking about Moneyball.

The comments sections might have been full of triangle nonsense but I suspect people who didn’t know Brad was in a new movie were well aware after the interview :)”

        That is so disingenuous of you. If everyone was talking about “Moneyball,” including the news outlets, why did Brad feel the need to issue a statement saying he wasn’t bad mouthing Jen? If it were just a hand full of ‘fan-girl’ gossips re-hashing the ‘triangle’ he would have hardly paid attention. No one cared that the purpose of Brad’s interview in “Parade” was to promote “Moneyball,” all they cared about–including news outlets, magazines, Internet blogs, and Jen-Hens around the world–was that Brad had ‘deliberately’ insulted poor Jen for no apparent reason.

    • LAK says:

      i loathe comments about how ‘hot’ Brad used to look back in the day with Jen vs now. Based on Photographic evidence, before and after he dated Jen, and for long stretches during their relationship, he was a hobo. Google pictures. Does no one remember what a hobo he was with Juliet Lewis? He was try-hard but still a hobo with Goopy. Gad….that horrible beard he had for about 2 years while he was with Jen which was explained away as film research.

      I do recall an interview he gave back in the day in which he specifically mentioned hating any references to his looks in the media and in his film roles, and he was determined to seek out roles that did not trade on his looks. He looked his best during the final 2 years of marriage with Jen because he trained specifically for TROY which was swiftly followed by Mr and Mrs Smith. That is the only period he really gleamed. Of course being that he is an exceptionally beautiful man, the result was dazzling.

      And given how good Justin looks now he is with Jen, is a reflection of how Jen wants her men to look, ie as gleaming as possible. She makes them over. She managed to make Vince Vaughn, John Meyer, Tate Donovan etc gleam during their time together. It’s very similar to what JLo did to Ben Affleck.

      • Cheyenne says:

        And look how all those ended up!

      • The Original Mia says:

        Well said!

        Brad is happier now, looking his age, than he was back during his “golden days”.

      • leetruth says:

        Yep. Both Jens like Ken dolls who end up looking caged and stifled. True love is allowing your partner to be themselves. For those saying Aniston looks fab, she looks plastic to me and empty.

    • Camille says:

      Funny, but whenever I see old pics of Pitt and Aniston together, they looked to me like the hot guy with his plain looking *friend*. I never saw any sexy chemistry between them and I never, ever saw this ‘golden’ crap that the tabloids spouted *roll*.

      Just my opinion. 😉

  12. casey says:

    omg,jennifer aniston is really sick.how come that when brad and angie was nowhere to be seen , she is not beeing seen also and everytime the jp’s has something to promote, she will expectedly surfaced strolling in new york,etc, like when the jp’s promoted moneyball in asia.and now that angie will have her interview, she is suddenly everywhere again.now ,there is no doubt in my mind that she is stalking brad and his family.brad and the kids went to the cinema first and when perhaps she saw some tweets that they are there, she immediately grab her bf to go there and stalk brad , so that people will talk about it.many fans has predicted that she will be everywhere once angie will promote her film,and we are right,\.this needs to stop.she needs some help.somehow, i feel sorry for her.

      • lisa says:

        Look she can do whatever she wants. it is a free world and it is also big. I think the point was the JPs have been MIA for a about a week or so. And after Brad finished promoting Moneyball we didn’t see any sightings of her or him right after Brad finished she and he went AWOL. Then she is seen the same time as they are seen in LA. And it always appears to happens when they are promoting or about to promote.

        I don’t know if it is on purpose or just one of those strange coincidences; but there seems to be a pattern.

        just saying.

      • Annie says:

        Chances are, she and Theroux were no where near the cinema at all. But you know, she’s on the same continent, so it must be planned. Damn that Huvane!

      • Heine says:

        @Lisa: There have been lots of pictures of Justin and Jennifer together long after the Moneyball promotions were over including the Women in Film dinner (or whatever that was) that Aniston attended. Remember the pictures in which everyone thought she was preggo because her boobs looked huge and she looked to have a gut?

        The only pattern is in your head in which you are determined to find something wrong with everything Aniston does.

    • leetruth says:

      Precisely. Is that the only cinema to watch movies?

      • Annie says:

        Apparently, these were special showings of the film which would mean that they were invited to be there. From the looks of it, they were invited to different showings.

  13. samira677 says:

    I don’t know why this is a big deal. They weren’t even in the same room and apparently not close to seeing each other. Five minutes is a long time. They’ve talked before so a screaming match, a fistfight, or Brad begging Jennifer to take him back is extremely unlikely. Just when you think the Brad/Angelina/Jennifer stories are dead something so minor makes an explosion.

    • pamela says:

      This ridiculousness will never end as long as you have tabs like People (yes they are a tab now) and US making a big deal about it.It’s really quite pathetic.

    j.a. and her fake-confident smiles and poses. and in that ancient bottom photo, her nips look fake as hale. they always said she uses those fake nips to make her boobs look bigger and perkier and not to mention it made her more attractive to desperate men. now i am starting to believe it. on google images i once saw a big letter poster of j.a. “acting” as rachel the whiney bore. her nipples were once again showing and the poster said “nipples. the only reason why any male ever watched friends” srsly what’s up with that? why are her nipples -always- hard? so fake everything about this one.

    • ahoyhoy says:

      Don’t ask me how I know, but fabric band-aids can be cut into small strips, and applied to the nip to make them constantly hard.

      • Annie says:

        Maybe Brad’s wearing them in the first pic too.

      • whatevs says:

        i don’t care about the how… just the why? why would anybody walk around looking so embarrassing? i guess j.a. must be that desperate to look desirable or something *eyeroll*

    • Annie says:

      Chances are, that top wasn’t transparent at all until the barrage of flashes hit it.

      • whatevs says:

        yeah even if that were true there are new pics of her and her rent-boy in just jared where she is wearing a really big fluffy sweater, and her nips are protruding as if it were stretchy, except it wasn’t at all. and they look really fake. i didn’t believe people who rumoured her wearing those plastic things until now. but i do now

  23. Jackie says:

    that pic of shiloh, paired with this post, made me laugh out loud. thanks!

    up until the last few years, i never found brad to be attractive. now, holy hot stuff. love the new vibe…kinda ‘refugee chic’. cool.

    ZZZz all is in the “almost” on this story

  25. NM9005 says:

    Wow, nip-alert on that last picture =)
    JA hasn’t changed much in looks during the years. Good genes + healthy life will do that to a person.

    As for the meeting, something tells me that this was planned. Stars have an agenda, it’s tight. They just don’t go somewhere without it being planned somehow, some way. The pictures are pretty clear too from a certain distance which tells me the photographer got an approval. After the reports of the supposed “meeting” with Bivens and Jolie’s vague tales of Self-Destruction this comes awfully handy imo. We must rebuild the OT (Original Triangle) in order to forget the NT!

    Hollyweird is all about fakeness, fantasy and entertainment so these two ultra calculated supercelebs of ALL people spontaneously almost running into each other??? I’m in stitches. They play the game so well without people wondering about the motives anymore, it’s scary yet so addictively fascinating =)! Thank god for these kind of celebs…

    EDIT: Shiloh is so pretty already. Zahara maybe the fav of most people (which will die out because giving bitch face when being older is not considered cute just bitchy in the negative form) but Shiloh is already quite the charachter with her interest in being boy combined with her seemingly goofy and pap-accustomed faces. I see her going into films like her mother.

    • Carrie says:

      I’d hardly call smoking pot, drinking a lot and being a chain smoker ‘healthy living’. Not only that, her one salad lunch for 10 years. We are talking about a malnourished heavy drinker and past heavy smoker. Nothing at all healthy about that. Only a healthy amount of solarium, botox, filler, plastic surgery and air-brushing.

  26. Yep says:

    Yeah don’t the children just look so happy to be with brad on this latest photo-op? Not. Zahara is sucking her thumb, Shiloh is sticking her tongue at brad while lookin miserable, pax is about to flip off the paparazzi and the saddest of all Maddox has his arms wrapped around himself. let’s not point that out but we all have seen how happy those kids usually look wih their mother. I’m sure the almost meeting was setup by their agency … Just another publicity stunt.

    • lisa says:

      YEP.. see you are on your Brad bashing rant. I guess you got shooed away at JJ because you post there under another name.

      Did Brad turn you down or Angie because you have a serious bug up your butt. If he bothers you so much stop running all over the net trashing the man. The kids don’t like grownass men snapping pics. And I notice that ONLY Brad and Angie going to the movies is a photo op. While loads of other celebrities out with their kids is a day out with their kids. The man has been working for months. Now he is spending time with his kids.

      get over it. Brad doesn’t like you any more than you like him.

      • yep says:

        First of all what is jj? Is that another name for female first? Lol maybe you should take your own advice and stop going all over the net looking for bad comments about your queen brad. Meanwhile I will post wherever and whatever I want to post. You must be mad because I’m right …the kids look miserable.

  27. Blue says:

    Omg they almost ran into each other, 5 mins apart in a giant theater, no way!! Omg this is the 3rd time in 7 years they almost ran into each other! Omg! Seriously they need to stop this shit. It’s over and done. He’s moved on and as much as people to refuse to believe it so has she. I swear for the rest of their lives this is going to be a thing. Because they are the only couple in Hollyweird to ever get a divorce.

    • lisa says:

      ITAWY

      I was praying in 2009 that they did a photo op at the Oscars. Maybe an actual meeting or something will stop all this. It is almost like some Urban Legend now.

      They need a face to face.. all 3 and then this shit will die..

      • Ducky La Rue says:

        You think so? I think a photo op or a meeting would just spur a new round of intense photo analysis, with body language experts weighing in, and more headlines about “second thoughts” or “rekindled” or “secret” whatever. I’m surprised the tabs still get so much mileage out of these stories, but people keep buying. And we keep commenting too, so I guess it’s a vicious circle!

  28. Bob says:

    Casey, please take your medication asap.

    • casey says:

      tell that to jen , she is the one who needs a theraphy.she always wants to be in he limelight whenever the jp’s are in the limelight.she cannot help it.she is just so predictable.there are so many examples how she is stalking the jp’s.remember oscar with mayer.why is it she always present at the oscar whenever brad or angie are nominated.since brad will likely to be nominated next year, im sure she will present also.and why she didn’t attend last year??because the jp’s are not ther.that how predictable she is .only blind cannot see that.so tell her to take her meds.

      • Annie says:

        Well, let’s see… Seems to me she was asked to be one of the presenters the year she had Mayer as a date, maybe that’s why she was there.

        As for the next Oscars, it wouldn’t be surprising if she was there as a presenter again this year, after all she had two successful films out in 2011. Isn’t that why they asked her the last time? Marley and Me had done well?

  29. donnmae54 says:

    Totally agree with Casey: she will be there at the Oscars and Golden Globe dressed to the nines with Theroux,people can ask who looked better. This is why I believe Justin is a paid escort she has taken her obsession with Brad Pitt to new heights. All this talk about how Brad Pitt look now and how she is so much in love with Justin is a joke. Jennifer Aniston is still obsessed with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is by far,the best looking man in Hollywood and he knows it, shaven or unshaven he doesn’t have a thing to prove to anyone he is happy with his family and being a dad.

    • mln76 says:

      I think the movie theater was a coincidence but OF COURSE she’ll be @ the Oscars if Brad is nominated. Remember how she took John Mayer back after he publicly humiliated her just so he would go to the Oscars with her and then dumped him a few weeks after the Oscars. She’s soooo transparent.

      • Carrie says:

        Exactly, and if anyone thinks Aniston was invited simply because she had a couple of ‘hits’ and not purely because Brad or Angelina got nominated and thus the Oscar organisers were looking to capitalize on the drama; consider the fact that a few times during Aniston/Black’s presentation speech, the camera panned to CLOSE-UPS of BRAD AND ANGELINA. Explain that then. That was not by accident, guys. She was invited, because Brad and/or Angelina were nominated (forget who and for what). She was ONLY invited that year, and the camera was set up to do closeups of only Brad and Angelina. Its not delusional, the camera setup told the story and intent. Its plain obvious in your face common sense. Shes never been invited when Angelina and Brad weren’t nominated, only that ONE time they were. People, wake up and see reality here. If Brad and/or Angelina are nominated, bet your bottom dollar that Aniston will be invited to present, and she will slime all over Justin in photos just like she did with Mayer.

    • Deltona lakes says:

      I agree brad Pitt is the best lpoking guy in HW. No one compares to him he has that swagger even at 47 years old. Brad and Jen look like brother and sister, not hot together at all.

  30. JWe says:

    I like the first picture Brad has a “stay the f#ck away from my kids” look. What a really hot look on Brad! Angelina is one lucky lady. You can tell Brad love and protect his kids.
    I can see why Jen is still obsessed over Brad. He is hottest man around. He makes being a father look HOTTT!

  31. blonde on the dock says:

    I forgot what a hot-looking couple they were. Wow! She still looks good.

  32. StrawberryGirl says:

    It’s NEVER GOING TO STOP! They’re all going to be 80 years old and we’ll still be hearing about this! Maybe when they’re all in the same nursing home they can finally have a cane fight and put this to rest.

    And I definitely thought that Pitt and Aniston pic was of their wax figures together. It took me a minute to realize it was real.

    • Ducky La Rue says:

      Ooh, I really like the “cane fight” idea. Hope I’m still here to see it! 🙂

    • Cheyenne says:

      Fell out of chair laughing visualizing cane fight.

      Alternate scenario: Aniston is on the cover of Modern Maturity 30+ years from now, long gray hair falling all over her face, botoxed out of recognition, dentures gleaming while she cheeses to the cameras, and the cover blurb reads, JEN SAYS: “I’M FINALLY OVER BRAD!”

  33. Kimbob says:

    Geez….I read the “headline” and just started sadly shaking my head. This is just such a non-story, here.

    The readers/bloggers here at Celebitchy deserve so much better than a story that’s trying to fan the flames of a fire that isn’t even present.

  34. Codzilla says:

    Brad kind of looks like a supermodel version of Jeffrey Dahmer in that photo with Jen. Maybe it’s the glasses.

  35. lisa says:

    Do posters realize the above picture is NOT from them going to the movies the other day. The top picture is of he and Angie leaving with the kids from the KFP2 premier.

    None of the pictures are from the movie outing to HUGO.

    not an issue but some of the comments seemed like they are associating these pictures to the story. or maybe they are referencing the correct pictures.

    • NM9005 says:

      I saw the pics on Popsugar (the feeds are below if you haven’t noticed and Rena is providing the link at #37)). The pictures ot their outing look all the same though, probably because it’s usually a photo-op.

      • lisa says:

        MY bad because every time they do anything with their kids its a photo op.

        But other celebrities can go out all the time..

        seriously you are a bit too much.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Any time he is caught outside with the kids on camera, it’s a photo op? What do you expect him to do, avoid being seen in public with the kids until they are grown?

        I suggest you take your own advice. Turning 21 didn’t make you a paragon of maturity. You’ve got some major growing up to do yourself.

    • NM9005 says:

      I didn’t know you followed my comments on other threads? You probably don’t that’s why you don’t know that I pretty much call 90% of the celebs out on their bullsh-t and only make a few exceptions (Swinton, DDL and Thurman being one of those).

      Seriously, grow up instead of attacking me.

      • MindScribe says:

        You have yet to explain how simply showing his face with his children in public is a “photo-op.”

      • Cheyenne says:

        @MindScribe: Don’t hold your breath waiting for an explanation because all you’ll get is a lot of self-important posturing.

      • NM9005 says:

        @Cheyenne and Mindscribe:

        Exactly, don’t wait for an answer since I have a life outside this blog. I don’t need to explain myself to anybody and certainly not to two anonymous posters who demand answers from another anonymous poster. The hilarity and self-entitled!

        And talk about maturity Cheyenne, you just used a child in a violent fantasy of yours. That is supposed to be normal and mature? Great, got the memo!

        I just wrote one slightly negative thing and you lot are all “ho hooooold up EXPLAIN PUHLEASE”. Demanding to keep this discussion going. I’m in stitches. If you asked in a normal way I would answer but now? Bite the dust homegirls.

    • NM9005 says:

      @Cheyenne

      Another thing, age and maturity don’t run parallel. Jolie grew up well after 27 and Pitt at the ripe age of 40 since people love to say what a shallow life he led with Aniston. So why am I supposed to grow up at 21? An age where you should still be allowed to goof around and make mistakes? I never took drugs or drank, I work and study hard so if that comment was purely used to make a snarky comment about me as a person: A++.
      You refer to my age as if it should reflect my whole being (that you seem to know so well huh?). Who are you exactly to make ludicrous statements like that? The subject wasn’t my age anyway but the photo-op.

      • MindScribe says:

        “@MindScribe: Don’t hold your breath waiting for an explanation because all you’ll get is a lot of self-important posturing.”

        … Yep, that about covered it.

        For those who need help interpreting long winded rants, that was NM-speak for, “I can’t actually back up my statement. I just wanted to make it.”

  36. Katherine says:

    When was the last time we saw or even heard reports of Jennifer going to a regular movie theater?

    The Jolie-Pitts, on the other hand, do this kind of thing on a regular basis.

    Gosh If only Empress Z could of vaporized Aniston with her got to hell look now that would of been a story.

    • Cheyenne says:

      LOL it sure would. It would have been even better if Shiloh had been wearing steel-toed Nikes so she could have nailed Justin in the cojones while big sis was vaporizing Jenny-poo.

      Fantasy is so much more fun than reality, isn’t it?

      • NM9005 says:

        “wearing steel-toed Nikes”

        Djeezes! Using children in your imagination to violently attack somebody they don’t know and you don’t know is more than disturbing. It makes no sense and it’s just sick! I used to think your hate was entertaining but even I am going in the “get help now” mode.

        Reality is that you fantasize too much on hating Aniston and it shows who you really are. For somebody who likes Jolie who is a good human being all in all, you don’t follow her example and opt for peace instead of violence. Talk of irony…

      • Cheyenne says:

        @NM: For the love of God, can you take an effing joke?!

        You need a good dose of Milk of Magnesia.

        That ‘joke’ wasn’t funny.

      • MindScribe says:

        LOL. NM, are you for real? Some part of you must have realized that was a joke, but the larger part just… what, chose to let is sail over your head? “It’s not FUNNY. You people and your disgusting senses of humor… I’m taking my ball and bat and going HOME.”

      • NM9005 says:

        That was not funny. It’s sick humour and I’m fine with that as long as it’s about adults. But children? No, and if people find that normal, I’m worried about the mental state of Aniston haters. Using Jolie’s children in a violent imagery to get your point across how much you dislike Aniston is just balls out wrong.

        This is funny:

        “What could’ve been = Zahara and Shiloh holding down Jennifer Aniston while Maddox punches one of her favorite Beanie Babies right before her pained eyes”

        Courtesy of Michael K, at least he makes them do childish harmless things, your comment was sick and I’m sticking with that. Next time I see something similar like that, I’ll just flag your ass… and I wonder why they allowed that comment in the first place.

      • Carrie says:

        What on earth does Djeezes mean, NM9005???

  39. Minx2 says:

    I know this goes against the cult of a perfect, youthful body etc. but I didn’t like Brad then at all. I thought he was a self-centered pretty boy, nothing interesting in him at all – just a nice body. I like him SO much better now. He’s aged obviously but he seems so happy with Angelina and their family, doing so many interesting projects, just a well rounded guy. To me, Jennifer didn’t grow up at all since “Friends”, she’s basically the same self-centered, tanned and toned body, and that’s all there is to her. There is just nothing interesting about her. I don’t blame Brad for wanting more out of life. The body will go, eventually, and Jen will look and act like Heather Locklear.

    • mln76 says:

      Agreed Jen is not a natural beauty by any shape or form. Her look has always been plastic and it appeals to the superficial LA culture very apt for a sitcom and unrom-coms but her superficiality is why she’s had very little critical success in her career. When Brad was with her he appeared just as plastic and it limited him in his interests, Notice he had Oscar nominations before and after he was with her but did his worst stretch of movies while they were together. It’s silly that people say she’s aging well. She’s filled her face with Botox. It’s definitely not as bad as her BFF Courtney but that’s because Jen’s been willing to put on a few lbs to cover up the fillers she’s using.

    • Seal Team 6 says:

      Agreed. I thought he was nice looking in a fratty way, but appeared to me to be very shallow, and very hung up on his looks and the red carpet. I was a bit appalled when he and AJ became a couple, because she was finally growing up, and he still seemed like a party guy.

      Even all “scuzzed up,” he looks fine, and appears comfortable in his own skin. Maybe he was tired of being BRAD PITT all the time, and just wanted to be Brad, Dad, whatever.

      I like he’s allowing himself to grow gracefully. Actually, so is his LOTF costar, Julia Ormond.

      And, I agree with what a poster said upthread: they’ll all be in their 80’s, and thw press will still be saying stupid stuff about them.

    • Camille says:

      Minx2, and the other replies to you; I so agree with you 3! Excellent comments, couldn’t have said it any better. 🙂

  40. Grow up says:

    All of you Jen “sympathizers” need to grow-up. This “Brad was hotter when he was with Jen” talk is juvenile. Brad Pitt is almost 50 YEARS OLD….and he is still rather handsome. He cleans up quite nicely when needed. Personally I like the “OLDER” Brad Pitt. What did Brad do when he was with Jen but smoke weed and make crappy movies. Brad has made his BEST movies since getting with Angelina and becoming a Father. Look at his upcoming movies and the directors he will be working with. Impressive to say the least…same with Angelina Jolie. Can Jen and her suntan and iced nipples say the same? Jen will be cranking out sh*tty rom-coms until her body goes.BTW, this article is rather stupid. Anyone with 2 braincells can see that Brad went to the movie screening in the AFTERNOON (when it was 76 degrees out) and Jen went later that evening. That is why she was WEARING A COAT…it was cooler in the evening.

    • Jill says:

      LOL “Brad has made his BEST movies since getting with Angelina and becoming a Father.” You made me laugh so hard. What movies? Did he get Golden Globe, Oscar or whatever? Did I miss something? He didn’t even get MTV Movie Awards. His last box office hit was Mr.&Ms. Smith. What an irony. When he was with Jen he was at least A-list global superstar. He is not very talented he was always pretty boy. But like I said he was huge at this time. But now he struggles with his career. His latest movie didn’t even score #1. And no way that he will get any award for that “role of his lifetime”.

      • Cheyenne says:

        I don’t you why you Aniston fans persist in shooting yourselves in the foot, but the movies he made while he was married received nowhere near the critical acclaim of the movies he’s made since he met Angie, and they made a lot less money than the movies he made since meeting Angie. He’s at the point in his career where he can do anything he wants. His ex-wife can’t even get her movie financed.

        The internet is your friend. Use it wisely.

      • MindScribe says:

        Moneyball was never going to be a number one film, but not because of Brad Pitt. It was wonderful, but it didn’t appeal to mainstream America. It was a sports movie with very little action and fast-paced dialogue. I enjoyed it immensely, as did everyone I know who saw it, male and female. Brad was fantastic in it as well and was widely reviewed as such. It doesn’t seem to me like he’s struggling at all.

    • mln76 says:

      Yes Jill MTV award is the standard for quality in the industry LOL. How many Oscar nominations has Jen or Justin had BTW 🙂

  41. lisa says:

    I am not an Aniston fan. I don’t think she is ugly at all. I think she is pretty. But not beautiful by my definition. And it makes me laugh when people talk about how she had Brad when he was hot. WTF is that all about. The man is 47+ and I don’t care what anyone says. He is still fcuking hot to me. Still got his swagger. And yes there may be men hotter, younger.. but lets see where they are when they hit 48. Will we still be talking about then, I bet not. I didn’t follow Brad when he was with Aniston. Watched a few of his movies and loved some others not so much. but the fact is when they got married he really stopped working. Like he said he lost his way. Since he and Angie got together I have loved every single film he has made. Babel Burn AF , Ben Button, Jesse James, Basterds, TOL, Moneyball to me any actor would cut off an arm to have that resume.

    Brad is not a boy. and when he was married he went through a lot of changes. He said so. Now as he has also stated (hundreds of times)of He is better and happier. I don’t think that would have happened if he was still married. Jennifer is what she has always been. An average looking woman with a good body. If Brad was with any other woman outside Angelina the media would not have the need to make Jennifer beautiful. She looks like your friend and that persons some women feel comfortable with. Nothing wrong with that. But Brad seemed to be tired of that and wanted more. Thus the difference.

    7 years is a lifetime. and all parties seem to have ended up the way they want. Brad with woman he loves and the family he talked about before meeting either woman. Angie has someone to share her life with that also wanted children and travel. Something she too spoke of before meeting Brad. Jennifer has a guy that she seems to love and are still together.

    so all good.

    anyway Brad looks sexy with his kids. Love that he seems like a good dad. Why that bothers others is a bit strange. The man has said over and over that he is happy with his woman and family. why is that so hard to believe.

    • sandy#1 says:

      that was spot on, i have said these exact words more than a few times, it’s obvious to the sane person, i think even the insane knows this is true, that’s why they can not, will not accept it, poor brad has moved on long ago, it makes aniston and her camp look pathetic, why not pick on tom cruise, ethan hawk, michael douglas, billy bob,etc. leave brad alone, love him or hate him, he makes angie smile and she him, they are not superficial. brad is still a very good looking man, I’d take him now over him when with ja.

  42. Maritza says:

    These people have moved on, why on earth don’t the tabloids do the same?

  43. Lucy says:

    brad and jen’s meeting will take place in 2012 and when that momentous occasion happens, the world will end. Isn’t that what the Mayans predicted…tornados, hurricanes, brad pitt and jen anniston coming face to face…

  44. sandy#1 says:

    brad has never used his ex to promote a movie or anything else, he doesn’t need to, her pr team uses the brange, jen may think brad is a jerk, why? because he upgraded to do something more substantial with his life? i also know that brad think jen is shallow, that’s why he moved on, now put that in quotes. i really do believe they have moved on, none story..

  45. casey says:

    yes , i agree brad looks hotter when he was with jen because jen is an average looking woman, nothing special about her features.he looks less hot now that he is with angie because angie is extraordinary beautiful that even a beutiful man like brad look less hot when he is with her.that explains it.look at justin he look fug with heidi because heidi is a beauty and now you say that jen makes him looks hot,its because she is just average looking so any man would look hot with her.lol.

  46. ZenB!tch says:

    I can still see his nipples in that beige outfit – ugh

  47. Heine says:

    The Arclight is plenty large enough for them to not see each other.

    And this is a non-story. They have both moved on. Neither of them would likely care if they saw the other. They didn’t even see each other according to the ‘report’, so what is the big deal?

  48. kira says:

    Wow, I look at that bottom picture of them together, and I wonder where the pole is. You can see everything! I’m sure Brad was really happy to be around the woman flashing her breasts for the cameras in a completely see-through top. Maybe, he got sick of it?

    She still seems to be the same person, posing semi-nude to promote bottled water, perfume, movies, herself, whatever. But he seems to have taken a breather from the Hollywood LOOK-AT-ME lifestyle. Growing a big billy-goat beard will do that. Some people don’t want to keep posing nude when they reach their 40’s. More power to the goat on that.

  49. eto says:

    for the love of god, will someone show them how to take care of zahara’s hair??????

  50. skuddles says:

    See that pic of Brad and Jen together made me remember how happy she used to look with him – she positively glowed. I think Brad was it for her – the one true love of her life…. who ultimately dumped her for a younger, more beautiful, more talented woman who happily bore his children. I imagine it must really sting Aniston to this day.

    • sandy#1 says:

      another spot on analogy, your perception is what all the hoopla is about until this very day, although her and the pr team may try, it’s absolutely nothing they can do about it.

    • Cheyenne says:

      She said in an interview — while she was still married to him — that he was never the love of her life. If my spouse said that about me, I’d consider the marriage officially dead at that point.

      • Annie says:

        I think what she actually said was that he was one of the loves of her life. Could be that she’d gotten frustrated by that time with a husband who sat on the couch smoking pot all day. That would certainly be enough to take the bloom off the rose for me.

      • Cheyenne says:

        Or maybe he stoned himself into oblivion because he got so bored listening to her inane commentary all day and watching her do nothing but blow-dry her hair and gossip with her girlfriends. Ennui like that can be lethal.

        His own words: In the magazine interview, Pitt also said he spent the 1990s “trying to hide out” from celebrity. “I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out,” he said.

        Married in 2000, weren’t they? So nope, seems the man was an old hand at “stoning himself to oblivion” to escape the “lethal ennui” that his horrible status as a celebrity was inflicting on the poor dear.

    • Carrie says:

      Au contraire. She always seemed to be miserable with him. Both of them were. Neither ever truly smiled together or seemed to even want to touch each other. The awkwardness always showed. She seemed to hold Brad in disdain, she never seemed to true love him or care about him, she never considered his needs. As I thought back then in 2001 at lunch reading a tabloid when I first saw their wedding photo, what a most mismatched odd couple. Those 2 had NO chemistry and nothing in common. They should never have gotten together. And it was Aniston’s choice to choose her career over her own husband, so how can it sting, when it was HER choice? I wonder if she now regrets putting her career before Brad’s hopes and dreams? She chose a career over her own marriage. If it stung, its only because it was HER choice to throw her marriage away.

    @jill, give it up. Brad went global and became Hollywood royalty WHEN he and Angie hooked up. With Jen, he was just a pretty boy who was living a shallow life.

    • Kobi says:

      Liar.
      Brad was a global superstar when he was with Gwyneth Paltrow, long before Angelina.
      Brad owes his stardom to his pretty boy looks and well chosen movie roles. Not the women he has hooked up with.

    • Kara Ann says:

      Brad Pitt was an extremely well-known and successful actor/movie star well before he met AJ. AJ was an up and comer that people expected big things from. I think it is ridiculous to suggest that Brad owes any of his success in work to anyone (AJ or JA). That’s ridiculous.
      It is not necessary to bash Brad or Jennifer in order to build up AJ.

      • pamela says:

        I doubt the poster is trying to imply that Brad wasn’t successful or famous BEFORE Angie. But no one can deny that Brad WITH Angie is another matter altogether. They are on a whole other stratosphere. Now he is known not only for his movies, but also for being philantropic. Probably age had something to do with it, as all the reviews are saying he has hit his stride, and is doing his best work ever. And of course as he has said on numerous accassions haVing kids also played a partin him choosing roles more wisely. But you can’t deny that Angie also played some part in his transformation. Together they are unmatched.

    • Marcus says:

      OMG I love how everybody are saying that he “was living a shallow life” being with Aniston. How delusional are you? Oh yeah he was so unhappy with her, he was suffering from all that attention, money and privilage. Poor thing. That’s why their marriege lasted 5 years and not 5 months.

      • lisa says:

        Thanks for pointing out that he stayed too long. But then he only met Angie 5 years in. So that could have been the problem.

      • Josephina says:

        Ha! You think 5 years of marriage is a long time? Are you serious?

        What do you say about those who have been married for 10, 20, 35, even 50 years?

        Five years of marriage is a short amount of time. Especially compared to her age of 42 years old. Please do not insult me and others who actually have been married for a long time.

        Brad said his marriage reached a dead end for him… he got out of it and his quality of life, both professionally and personally, has been very prosperous since his divorce. That is the proof staring you in the face — he made the decision for him.

        Aniston has been stumbling for years since the divorce. Hopefully, she knows herself well enough and has learned from her mistakes to make better choices. Let’s hope the Jenhens approve of Justin.

    • Kobi says:

      @ pamela
      leetruth specifically said:
      ‘Brad went global and became Hollywood royalty WHEN he and Angie hooked up.’
      And s/he capitalised the WHEN.
      You longer need to doubt their meaning. Its all there in front of you.
      S/he thinks Angelina is responsible for Brads stardom which is complete crap.
      Angelina has bought Brad infamy, not fame.

    jennifer aniston got brad when he was still hot. i keep forgetting he was once really attractive.

    • Cheyenne says:

      As someone point out upthread, we’re all hotter in our thirties than we are in our forties. But Brad developed depth and substance with Angie that simply wasn’t there when he was with Aniston. He said himself he was bored and unhappy when he was with her. Playing Ken to her Barbie must have gotten old fast.

      • Annie says:

        So basically, Pitt is a Caspar Milquetoast who needs to be led around by the hand because he’s incapable of doing things by himself, for himself? He’s such a blank slate that every woman he has a relationship with can make and remake him into whatever they want and he’s got no control over the situation? While I’m quite willing to believe that he’s a weak brainless twit, I’m kind of surprised that one of his fans seems to think so too.

        Had Pitt actually wanted to have “depth and substance” way back when, he would have made the effort all by himself. You don’t need a woman or children to do that.

      • mln76 says:

        @Annie I don’t even know where to begin. Have you ever heard the phrase behind every great man is a great woman? The idea that having a deeper relationship and stronger family ties led a time when Brad’s critical success increased and his career gained more prestige has nothing to do with being led around. He wasn’t happy with his marriage and like many unhappily married people his work suffered because of the stress of an unhappy unfulfilling relationship. Now that he’s found happiness and finally has the family he wanted he’s able to do better work. There is nothing brainless about that.
        Here is hoping that now that Jen has found someone closer to her value system her work improves.

      • Annie says:

        My point was: He was famous well before he met Aniston. If he had actually wanted to be involved in something meaningful and deep, he had years of fame before Aniston and during the time they were together to explore that and use his fame for good. He didn’t. According to him, he sat on a couch and smoked pot for a decade instead. Even now, he’s Jolie’s +1 concerning the charity stuff.

        Blaming his ex-wife for the fact that he was acting like a spoiled “oh poor me, I’m famous” brat is ridiculous.

      • Camille says:

        mln76- excellent comment. ICAWY.

      • Josephina says:

        @Annie:

        Brad DID blame himself for being boring in his marriage to Jen. Now answer this:

        Can you see Aniston traveling all over the world visiting the non-tourist areas, shaking hands and listening to their stories of rape, poverty, death and destruction? Can you see Aniston having more than 1 child? How about adopting children, even those that are not white? How about getting involved in the Make-It Right Foundation, or anything like it?

        Brad wanted a WHOLE LOT MORE out of life and he found a woman that truly embraces life and is open to exploring the world, not just the resorts of Los Cabos, Mexico. See the difference yet?

        Brad now has a woman that is clearly a better fit for him and they have achieved their goals together. What exactly did Brad and Aniston accomplish together other than a production company? No one can deny the obvious.

      • Annie says:

        @Josephina

        You’re missing the point. This isn’t about comparing Aniston to Jolie. A poster upthread implied that Aniston was responsible for Pitt’s lack of depth. Pitt is the only one responsible for his life and what he does or doesn’t do with it. Before, during and after his marriage. There was nothing stopping the guy from pitching in with Habitat for Humanity projects for example. Especially given his love of architecture.

        A small observation though. Aniston has been a supporter of St. Judes for years. I would think that the families of those who’s loved ones have been treated / operated on and had their lives saved for free by this charity are every bit as grateful for that support as a Pakistani earthquake survivor. Her causes might not be as telegenic, but she does have them.

    • whatevs says:

      brad was never really hot imo never got the appeal. maybe it was the overhyping. like leo dicaprio being desired by all these women with -that- face. on the other hand angie always had that x-factor. she’s too good for him lol
