Is Justin Theroux hunting for another luxury love-nest in NYC again?

Here are some photos of Justin Theroux on Sunday in West Hollywood. This is what Fame/Flynet said about these photos: “Actor Justin Theroux tries to sneak through a parking garage after buying a 6 pack of beer from a Rite Aid in West Hollywood, California on April 14, 2013.” First of all, “sneak”? Why is he so undercover lately? What gives? Secondly, why a parking garage? It seems like Justin has been photographed in parking garages several times lately, always on his way to some shady “hotel room business meeting”.

Thirdly, and most importantly, BEER? I thought Justin was a recovering addict? Granted, from what I’ve read and heard, Justin’s old addictions were more of the hard-drug variety, but is it wise to play with fire by going back to beer? Is this Jennifer’s influence? Because chica LOVES to get her boozehound on. Does Jennifer even drink beer? Better to just buy a case of vodka. Last point and then I swear I’m done: who buys beer at Rite-Aid?

Meanwhile, did you know that Justin has maybe-convinced Jennifer to give Manhattan living another chance? When Jennifer was trying to win Justin away from Heidi Bivens, Jennifer moved to New York and tried to play that “I love the city!” card. Then when she got him, she quickly decided that she wanted to move back to LA. Justin reportedly kept his New York apartment (even when Jennifer sold her NYC properties), and according to In Touch, she might give it another shot:

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are on the hunt for their East Coast home in the Big Apple.

A source close to the couple tells In Touch, on newsstands now, that Justin “has been looking at apartments for them downtown,” and that they have only been to “super high-end places.”

One of the luxe buildings Justin recently checked out was a $2 million duplex at the former NYC Police Headquarters building, which went residential in 1983.

But despite the pad’s lavish amenities, including full-time concierge service, Justin ultimately realized the 1,700-square-foot home wasn’t the ideal second home for him and his 44-year-old bride-to-be, who are in the midst of renovating their new $21 million dream home in LA’s swanky Bel Air neighborhood. “The unit is on the first floor and faces the street,” a real estate source tells In Touch. “There just wasn’t enough privacy for them.”

Justin will have to find something pretty impressive to compare to Jen’s $6.5 million NYC apartment she unloaded in 2012, the same year the couple got engaged.

Perhaps the pair, who are due to tie the knot any day now, will both be Therouxs by the time they settle on a posh New York pad!

It’s sort of crazy to think of all of the celebrities who manage to live relatively peaceful lives in New York City and that it’s only Jennifer Aniston who finds the city cramped and menacing. Her complaints about the city (when she decided to sell her NYC properties) were that “the city changed” and the paparazzi made it hard for her to move around. Which is funny because (in my opinion) it was her publicist tipping off People Magazine about where she was going and what she was doing and what her life was like with Justin in New York.

    How much do we want to bet that he’s already sick of her and that a wedding will never happen?

    • Janet says:

      I think he may be bored out of his gourd and looking for a retreat away from her. I agree with oh snap [below], their life together seems to be lacking in any real substance. I think he’s got a serious case of buyer’s remorse.

  2. Venice says:

    His little t-shirt says-FEAR MORE BEER.

  3. Kaye says:

    Maybe some of you engineers/physicists can help me out, but that sack doesn’t look heavy enough to hold a six pack. If I were more educated, I could explain why it just doesn’t look right.

    • Joanna says:

      It doesn’t look big enough either, to me.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Kaye …

      If they’re 12 oz cans, sure. Not everyone drinks tall boys. 🙂

    • Eli says:

      Something is telling me that Fame/Flynet will have a defamation suit filed! Beer? Hardly!!

      • videli says:

        Why is buying beer such an aspersion in your view? Or maybe you think the suing should be done because they say beer instead of vodka? Tequila? Siberian tiger blood? I’m not sure what Rite Aid carries these days.

      • Eli says:

        Do you see beer? Is there a photograph of him purchasing any alcohol? This is the kind of crap that makes me see RED! Especially when one is sober. For this rag to accuse someone of slipping, is beyond effed up! These effing rags need to focus on the ones STILL using, instead of making up bullish!t just to have a story… But the JP loons are eating it up, which is probably why they printed it. I guess someone at Fame/Flynet has a hard on for Jolie or Pitt.

        I am speaking from a registered drug/alcohol Counselor point of view.

      • videli says:

        I see where you’re coming from, but relax, if it’s important for him, he’ll ask for a retraction.

    $2 million in NY doesn’t sound super high end to me.

    • Janet says:

      It isn’t. Have you ever watched “Selling New York” on the HGTV channel? 2 mil will get you a fairly decent apartment in a good location in Manhattan but nothing really high end.

    • lll says:

      2 million will get you a really nice pad.

      • Janet says:

        Depends on your definition of a “really nice pad”. What size? How many rooms? What neighborhood? “Really nice pads” in prime NYC locations can start at $5 mil and go up into the stratosphere.

    • Decloo says:

      Why would he even go to LOOK at an apartment on the first floor?Nobody lives on the first floor unless they are broke and have to.

      • thinkaboutit says:

        It’s the only decent sized apt for sale in that building, which is incredibly sought-after (I know because I want to live there and follow the listings like a hawk). It’s such a unique and amazing place that ground floor isn’t a deal breaker. Having said that, I agree that $2mm is pretty middle of the road for Manhattan. Decent, but nothing special and certainly not “luxury” relative to the true high-end market or to the way Aniston lives.

  5. epiphany says:

    I agree her complaint about the paps in NYC is crazy – a celeb can easily hide in Manhattan – assuming Huvane isn’t their publicist. And I’ll go one further; I don’t think Jen had any intention of moving to New York, and instructed Huvane to alert the paps at every turn, so she would have a legitimate reason to give Justin as to why they should live in Cali.

    Guess what’s in the bag? Are they buying an apartment? This is a non-story — sheer speculation.

    • Esmom says:

      +1

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Spinner …

      Yes, surely nothing like speculating (from a photo) about a mother’s parenting skills or associating her 11-year-old son with lyrics about rape based upon the clothes he’s wearing.

      • spinner says:

        Take your tiresome attack back to the thread where it belongs.

      • Nikita says:

        +1 and @SPinner, shut up! go back to femalefirst, there you belong to the sickos.

      • spinner says:

        @ Nikita

        My goodness — aren’t you the little charmer. I take no offense to you as it seems you do not have a good grip on the English language. Maybe your rude words were just lost in translation.

  8. oh snap! says:

    Their life together seems so void of any real substance! before Jen he enjoyed the cultural and eclectic life of a bustling city and was just under the radar so he could live a normal comfortable life…now it’s just purchasing and remodeling homes, cabo, booze, expensive furniture shopping, blah blah, boring! the total definition of her. he is tiring of it, this will not end well…

    • Amory says:

      I’m with you on this — I see her constant real estate ventures as boredom and lack of purpose. Didn’t she never even move into the last place she got in NY? She needs something real to occupy her time – nonstop shopping, even if it is for real estate, is not a satisfying or substantial hobby. It’s usually a method to fill a void in one’s life.

      • CL says:

        She’s probably making an additional fortune with the real estate turnover; I remember C Cox stating that real estate flipping was how she made money before her career took off.

    • Agnes says:

      Yeah, I agree. They seem pretty vacant together.

    • ali says:

      Excuse do you people know them personally? Sure sounds like it. Leave the couple alone. They are a lovely couple. This article is in bad taste. Sure sounds like a bunch of jealous people.

    Who buys beer at Rite Aid? Plenty of people. I used to work at a Rite Aid near a college campus and the prime directive, outside of not giving out change, is to keep the coolers stocked at all times. The beer would fly out of the coolers, given the students and the off campus people who walked instead of drive.

    • B says:

      I used to live by a West Hollywood Rite-Aid (prob. the same one). It was convenient and the only closest store was Gelson’s, an upscale market…

  10. truthful says:

    I know they are engaged but he just does not seem into her, at all.

    her money and celebrity, yes.

  11. FirstTimer says:

    He looks much better here than when he was at the Oscars.

  12. Eli says:

    I so hope the Theroux camp sues the hell out of Fame/Flynet! Do they have photos of him purchasing the so called beer? Very doubtful…

    • Agnes says:

      What ground would they sue on? Saying thst he bought beer isn’t defamatory. Beer is legal, the dude is over 21. Nothing about it that could damage his character.

  13. skuddles says:

    Hey, give the guy a break – if you had to marry Aniston you’d be sneak-buying beer every chance you got too.

  14. anom says:

    all the time? stfu. just because this small,bald user is drinking, that is a problem between him and his benefactor.

  15. TOPgirl says:

    Shopping on her dime…he did well!
