Justin Theroux ‘manipulated’ Jennifer Aniston into dumping the Goddess Circle?

As with many of tabloid stories this year, this Star Magazine story seems to be based on one small kernel of truth, then wildly exaggerated with somewhat nonsensical claims. Star Mag says that Justin Theroux has basically manipulated Jennifer Aniston into dumping all of her old Goddess Circle girlfriends. Aniston has allegedly replaced the Goddess Circle with Justin’s hipster friends. While I think there’s some truth somewhere in here – perhaps that Jennifer doesn’t have much time for Courteney Cox these days, and perhaps Jennifer is trying to be more and more “hipster” – overall I think this is BS.

Jennifer Aniston certainly isn’t singing “I’ll be there for you” these days. Aniston is ditching her pals in favor of fiancé Justin Theroux’s hipster crew. Longtime galpals like Courteney Cox, Laura Dern and Sheryl Crow are all but history in Jen’s new world, says an insider, who adds that Justin once referred to the famous women as “boring, middle-aged moms.”

“Justin complains all the time that Courteney in particular consumes too much of Jen’s time with her neediness,” says the source. “He also doesn’t like it when her daughter, Coco [Jen’s goddaughter] is around because he says she’s rambunctious.”

Jen clearly seems to be bending to Justin’s will. She cancelled several dinner dates with Courteney and at Jen’s annual holiday party on Dec. 2, the guest list was mostly Justin’s friends, like tattoo artist Scott Campbell, actress Lake Bell, Tobey Maguire and Justin’s longtime creative collaborator Ben Stiller.

“Justin basically manipulated Jen into cleaning house,” says the insider.

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

First of all, all of those Goddess Circle people DID come to Jennifer’s holiday party. Secondly, Ben Stiller is Jennifer’s friend too! I think Ben and Justin are pretty tight, but Ben and Jennifer are too, and didn’t Ben introduce JustJen (back when Justin was with Heidi?!)? Third of all, Justin does seem to make an effort to ingratiate himself with Jennifer’s friends, and she does the same – they share a lot of friends, and to their credit, they actually seem to be making the same amount of effort with each other’s “group”. Last thing: how much does it suck to be Courteney Cox right now? Jennifer was pretty much the third wheel in Courteney and David Arquette’s marriage for years and years, and now that CC is single and Jennifer is with Justin, Jennifer has little to no time for CC. Sucks.

Here are some new photos of JustJen in Cabo yesterday. Note the butt-grab. They wanted us to see it, so you might as well discuss it.

    Yeah right.

    Any way, how annoying to realize you are being photographed while trying to relax on vacation. That alone would make me want to mix up my itinerary a little. I understand wanting to come back to a loved vacation spot though, as I too am somewhat a creature of habit.

      Meh she has holidayed there regularly for half a dozen years and the paps always tag along honestly I think she enjoys it.

        I dont know if she did but she definitely drummed up as much interest as possible with her bag/scarf/coat in front of her belly game and ‘not drinking at parties’ wink wink for a few weeks then BAM give the paps a bikini shot and everyone is talking about her more than if she just went on vacation.

        I suppose if the paps are a half mile away they wouldn’t be so bothersome. As for the drinking cycles, when my girlfriend was trying to get pregnant she abstained between ovulation and her cycle only. Seems a reasonable explanation for Jen’s behavior. I know it’s not nearly as tantalizing for her naysayers and conspiracy theorists though.

        Get over yourself.
        You are the one getting irate about the honor of a millionaire you’ve never met .As for pap calling and leaking false info its hardly nefarious its typical behavoir of celebrities in need of attention whose career is on the wane like Jennifer Aniston.
        I am proud to be a gossip addict but stalking is altogether another fish and not my speed.
        Happy Holidays :)

        @ Lulu – mln76 is not a stalker, she’s a regular reader here. Those of us who have been reading for a long time notice certain patterns with certain celebs. I personally think it takes a bit more than attentive reading to make one a stalker. ;-)

        Mln76: She doesnt need to call the paps. She isnt some young star trying to squeeze a career out of being a celebrity. Aniston has already had a long and extremely successful acting career. The tabloids make up stories about her left and right because people eat up anything about her, positive or negative. Especially negative, it would seem.

        Her career is not ‘on the wane’, by the way. According to imdb, she’s got three movies in the pipeline for 2013 along with a rumored appearance in another.

        EDIT: it was also pretty clear that the Smart Water ad was mocking tabloid speculation about her womb, not her fans.

        Uh…… not a young star, no, but, she IS a mid-range talent trying to squeeze out a bit more career out of being a celebrity. She’s not made much effort to stretch herself professionally.

        I wonder WHY the tabloids just make up the SAME two stories about her? Pregnant or not? Lonely and bitter or shallow and high maintenance?

        As for the not drinking? Maybe she’s just slurred her way through one too many social events?

    I think we all need a bit of this in our lives sometimes — not cleaning house so much, but re-evaluating who deserves our time.

    I have a friend that only calls me when something bugs her about one of her other friends – to complain, in other words… I gradually started letting her calls go to voicemail. I still talk to her, but not every single time. She doesn’t want to talk to me she just wants to talk.

    I think it is a very good sign that Justin wants her to meet his friends, and it is also a good sign that she can eat in front of him. That’s hard for some women. I know it sounds lame…

      I hear ya. Generally those people have already started drinking and they want to hear themselves talk.

      And what you described is called “triangulation” – it’s so you’ll go to the other person and try to fix whatever issues the person who called you has without they themselves getting involved. Avoid this like a pile of dog poopy — anytime you put your stick in it to clean it up, it only stinks worse. And then you’re involved.

      Tux Cat, I used to have a friend like that too, and as I got older I just grew tired of her selfish routine and stopped making myself available. It would be okay if these people ever asked “hey how are you doing” and showed actual interest but when they only want to talk about themselves or whatever thing is bothering them at the moment… forget it, that’s not a true friendship.

      A couple doesn’t have to be touching, kissing, or gazing into each other’s eyes at all times in order for them to be connecting.

      Besides, “connecting” doesn’t need to go on at all times. One can read a book while the other rests without their relationship being upended.

    Jen and Courtney haven’t been close for a while, way before Justin was on the scene….so this is BS.

    Obviously it’s always going to be blamed on JA but I think it’s more to do with Courtney hanging out her Cougar Town cast. Maybe her work becomes her social life, as it did with Friends.

    Both are still tres homely. At this point, isn’t Courtney Cox much more successful with her “lowly” TV show and than Aniston is with her brilliant movie career? Cox is older, but she’ll always be good looking, I think.

    Courteney Cox has always seemed like a more sensible older sister to Jenn so it would make sense that Justin wants her to exert as little influence as possible.

    Justin doesn’t sound at all tolerant of young children’s rambunctious behavior.

    Her boobs need more support. Her stomach is fantastic though! I saw some pics with them and two other couples, Emily Blunt and her husband John and Jimmy Kimmel and his fiancé. I always like to see who’s friends with who. Doesn’t she get bored going to Cabo like 3 times a year? Every year? There are so many more beautiful, less traveled and probably more private places to go. With her money you’d think she would be at some exclusive resort in the Seychelles or something.

    I’ll never understand why people rave about Aniston’s bod. It’s not terrible but it’s certainly not all that “wow” either. I’ll give her this though – she has a decent bod for someone her age. I can see she’s getting a bit softer and meatier but still managing to keep it fairly firm for a woman in her mid 40′s.

    They’re a gorgeous couple and perfect match. Prior to these pics, I thought he was so cool and great looking BUT THEN I saw all those tattoos…which are not attractive. Well really, he’s still great looking and fab dresser but too many tattoos kind of cancel out the hipster thing and put him closer to Kid Rock territory.Hipsters are not covered with tattoos-maybe one or two but whole body…no.

    I think we all have different friends for different ossaisions:

    I have friends that I go to church with.
    I have other friends who like to shop.
    Different friends, I eat out with because they like to try new and different restaurants. Another set, I double date with. Friends with whom we hang out with our kids because our children get along so well. Others whom I sob on the phone with my deepest hurts. People I never want to be around their kids or husbands because I don’t care for their behavior.

    I think most people are like myself. I find nothing wrong if my boyfriend doesn’t want to hang out with ALL of my many friends. I don’t enjoy all of his friend’s company either.
