I’ve been wary of jumping on the “Justin Theroux & Jennifer Aniston Probably Won’t Get Married” Bandwagon. Whenever I form a conspiracy theory about JustJen, it either gets shot down immediately or Jen’s super-fans scream at me. Here’s what I believe at this point: I think Justin is in it to win it. I think he’s down with Jennifer’s lifestyle and he likes all of the “upgrades” in his luxury. But I also think that after more than two years together, he’s gotten a deeper understanding of Jennifer’s World, and her world is more neurotic and more boring than he was expecting. I’m not saying Justin is running for the hills at all – I’m just saying that he might be tired of The Aniston Show. So, is my theory the subtext of People Magazine’s cover story this week? All I know is that for this wedding drama to take the cover, People is probably talking to Jennifer’s people. This is “official”.
Ten months after her engagement to Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston seems to be no closer to saying “I do.”
As fans eagerly wait for her to become Mrs. Theroux, multiple sources tell PEOPLE that plans for the much-anticipated nuptials have slowed down.
A few months ago, arrangements were in full swing, says a source who speaks to Aniston often. “Wedding bands were designed and Jen was deciding on a dress,” says the source. The actress had a date in mind, too – this spring.
Now, with both Aniston, 44, and Theroux, 41, overloaded with work commitments and a massive house renovation, “wedding talk has stopped.”
Both stars have signed on for acting projects in the coming weeks, and construction delays hampered the redesign timeline for the couple’s $21 million estate in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood. “There are other priorities [besides marriage],” says a source who knows the couple professionally.
With their packed schedules and the challenges of combining their lifestyles, “they need to figure out a way to create a life that makes them both happy,” says the first source. Still, “Jen can’t wait to be [Justin’s] wife.”
For much more about Jen and Justin’s relationship and their future plans, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
“They need to figure out a way to create a life that makes them both happy…” That says to me “Justin is tired of everything being done on Jennifer’s timetable, and how everything is all about Jennifer.” It does feel like the engagement was likely rushed and premature (probably because Jennifer was trying to c—kblock the Jolie-Pitts, who were reportedly getting married that same weekend) and now everyone is taking a step back to reassess.
By the way, I love how they make it sound like both Justin and Jennifer are working on back-to-back projects. Jennifer filmed one movie last year, and she’s filmed one movie this year. Justin hasn’t worked since he filmed Wanderlust in 2011, although last week he did sign on to star in an HBO pilot called The Leftovers. He’ll be playing the chief of police in a small town… after the Rapture. So, all of the good souls have already left the earth and he’s trying to contain all of the bad souls. That’s his first job in two years. And I’m sure Jennifer is upset that he “abandoned” her to sign on to a TV project. Either that or this show is his reward for making it this long?

if they wanted to be married, they would be.
Take a leaf out of Daniel Craig Rachel Weisz wedding – just do it if you really matter to each other and THEN announce to the world.
This.
.
Yep. My thoughts exactly. Her people were pushing the wedding talk HARD in People mag. My guess is he balked and they’re doing damage control with this.
I think it’s ridiculous that this is a cover story just like I thought it was ridiculous that the pre-wedding stuff was a cover story. I have no negative feelings about Jennifer Aniston but this is just a really boring celebrity story. A cover story about putting off a wedding because of being busy? That sounds really uninteresting.
Exactly.
Pretty much. I don’t buy wealthy people who use work as an excuse for anything. If you really want to be together, you can be.
And this would be her second wedding. Does she need a big one? I doubt he cares. Fly some close friends and family to a beautiful location and do it.
Of course it would be easier to do that if they hadn’t announced their engagement. Maybe this us a red herring to throw the media off?
Or maybe he’s hoping his new show will catapult him to a new level of stardom where he won’t have to rely on her for a lifestyle upgrade?
I wondered if it was a red herring, too — it would be sort of brilliant if it were. But would her team want to piss People mag by giving them false info and letting them run with a cover story about how their wedding is on hold when she secretly set a date for soon? That’s what trips me up about that theory. Aniston totally needs People.
Why don’t they just do a simple ceremony? Courthouse, backyard, whatever!
This lady is so petty. She got engaged thisclose after AJ-BP and now it’s on hold? Methinks she wants to wait on THEM and piggyback on them too. She never makes news on her own, it’s always a response to or piggybacking off of their news.
I agree with aim, if they truly wanted to get married, they would regardless of committments. They would make the time even if it means having a quiet wedding with family and close friends at home. This busy-ness is a smoke screen for something deeper. In as much as Jen says she wanted to marry, why postpone it? The truth will prevail.
Exactly. How embarrassing for both of them.
Hang on..Aniston hasn’t had a cover for a while…must be panicking that she’s being forgotten.
Not everyone that doesn’t rush to the alter after getting engaged is in trouble. They will do it when their ready.
Yeah right that’s why People claimed they were getting married after she wrapped the last film.They were having a small private affair
Speaking according to what some ppl in general do, not what a mag is saying
@ Tiff
Okay, but the only way People would even know that is because they got it straight from Jennifer’s people. That’s where they get all of their information from, not from gossip sites, but from the celebrities own publicists.
They’re probably not the first wealthy, childless, forty-something couple to be ambivalent about marriage, but in the time it took them to get out a press release on their engagement they could have headed to the nearest court house.
We are shocked. .. said no one ever, regarding these two and their shenanigans.
Rotfl
+1, yep.
They should wait, they haven’t been together that long. Why rush marriage? Quite sensible really
@Mia, who wrote: “They should wait, they haven’t been together that long. Why rush marriage? Quite sensible really”
They’ve been together for nearly 3 years now (having met and staring their affair on the set of “Wanderlust”). If you truly want to be married to each other, how much time do you need?
Oh, Emma, don’t you know that the 40s are the new teens? It’s a lot of pressure to expect people their age who’ve only dated for three years to know what they want in terms of marriage and family. Give them time.
They look alike, very much alike. Isn’t that supposed to happen after years of marriage? It seems to me they got a head start.
I can’t with the Jonas Brothers skinny jeans on grown ass men. That’s all I got.
Coming from you??? Color me surprised that your tune has changed once again when it comes to this woman!!
When the same is said about the Jolie-Pitts all the excuses come flying out…they have been together longer and have children…even engaged longer!!!! Me thinks you can let this chick breathe a bit..no?
I’m assuming you posted in the wrong spot since I havsaid nothing about Jennifer
I totally agree with the fact that Jen is being judged by haters. She is not the only one putting off marriage.
Brad has put off marriage with every possible excuse. Gay rights blah blah…seriously tho? As if them not getting married will in some way influence legislation on gay marriage.
It’s Jen and Justin’s right to also put off their wedding without judgement and it really does not mean they have failed at life…mxm
Coming from you??? Color me surprised that your tune has changed once again when it comes to this woman!!

I personally think the Jolie-Pitts quietly got married during their Christmas vacation (2013) with family and extended family members ‘conveniently’ along as witnesses.
I don’t know why, but I really think that’s how the Jolie-Pitts roll.
I agree, it’s feminine. Ugh.
Who cares?!! Thanks for the picture of JT’s little brother again! Hubba-hubba!
…”As fans eagerly wait for her to become Mrs. Theroux,”…
No need to hurry, the fans are used to wait for a baby, what are another 10 years waiting for a wedding…
Code for negotitiations in the pre-nup came to a standstill. Justin is digging his heels in. Justin wants more money in the event of a divorce than she offered or maybe he doesn’t want a pre-nup. He’s thinking of Guy Ritchie with his 70 to 90 million he got off Madonna. LOL
You might have something there. I never thought these two were good together. I doubt they will last much longer.
Yeah, I don’t see this ending well.
I never thought they were good together. He’s seems to be the exact opposite of what Jen is about. It’s kinda funny, but I can see Jus going for Angelina. He looks like the type of guys she likes. LOL
Guy Ritchie really got THAT much from Madge?!
Hell, yeah, he did, after acting like he would never go after her money because he was such a macho man, a man’s man. I hear it was 90 million a lot, but others place it at somewhere between 70 to 90 million.
She was bitter. One of the few good songs on her last album addressed it pretty pointedly in her lyrics how she felt used for her money, saying if her name was “Benjamin” (money), would they still be married, I guess referring to being his unlimited bank account. She has two versions on the album, one with a Hung Up sample, dancier. I like the other version, slower, below.
Love Spent

My God! He deserved every penny. Can you imagine what life with her would be like?
He cuddled up to gristle every night, he earned that money!
Nice.
Ah, good thinking, 99. I bet that’s a big factor.
Oh well. Maybe they will bust up and he can fade back into obscurity. I would like to see JA with Will Arnett or anyone less aging dbag really.
Omg, Will Arnett and JA sounds AWESOME!
She would totally mess that up tho. She’s too calculated.
I can’t see Will Arnett going from Amy P to Aniston. Serious downgrade.
Interesting… but would her fans accept her hooking up with Amy Poehler’s ex? Didn’t she and Poehler work together on SNL some years back?
Seems like a girl code violation.
Its Hollwood. There is NO girl code. Or boy code. Seriously every star is within 2 degrees of separation based on who they slept with.
I really think that divorce did a number on Jen. I think she has major trust issues and Idont think she ever completely got over Brad. Thats why she cant make a move without leaning in to see what he is up to
@marylynn..
Jennifer had issues long before she got married to Brad. Her words not mine. She has been divorced over 8 years. Has had several relationships. Why is it always back to a broken marriage to Brad. Maybe her issues are the real cause of her problems with men. Or maybe that played into her marriage not working. I think Brad is a very patient man. And according to her she had a lot of baggage coming into the marriage.
At some point everyone has to say maybe it is ME not them. Since for over 5 years the world has blamed everyone but Jennifer for the outcome of her life; maybe she has never had to reflect or take any responsibility. It takes 3 to make a relationship work and 2 to break a relationship. No one is without some blame; even Jennifer Aniston
No girl code in HW?!!
Wasn’t girl code the through line to all of the negative stories about Angelina getting with Brad?
lisa2: I agree with you. Great comment.
@Pwal: Jennifer had an affair with Justin when they made that movie together. Her fans couldn’t care less. It was so funny how fans who think Angelina is evil had to come up with the lamest excuses to justify her relationship with Justin.
Perhaps he’s just having a hard time locating a tux with pants skinny enough to meet his exacting standards?
(I kid, but seriously – I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of this man in regular-cut pants).
Good one!
OOMG too FUNNY!
LOL, he might better buy a pair of leggins to go with te tux, why bother looking for pants?
lol 🙂
Kudos to Justin Theroux for being *that* lean at the age of 41!
At that age, it is not easy. I’m impressed.
my husband is 47 and that lean. he eats everything and anything plus drinks beer everyday. he runs a few days a week and rides dirtbikes on the weekend but that’s it for exercise. he makes it look easy. good german genes i think.
Why get legally married?
They have been practically living together, from the start. If things are good. Then let it be.
I will never understand the push for marriage, with couples that seem to be fine… without the piece of paper.
Be happy. And make sure to feed those chickens. 🙂
do you tell gay people that as well?
Sure! We are non discriminatory here.
@ e
Really?
This is a gossip post about Aniston and her man.
And you want to take my harmless view, about their rich people problems, into a gay marriage debate?
Please move on and troll someone else.
Hautie
The link I’m posting covers both arguments trying to be made here by you and E. For some people it’s fine to just live together. Others want to be married for the reasons listed in the video instead of simply living together. Maybe this article wouldn’t be a big deal if Aniston didin’t build up this relationship and future wedding so hard. Now that it’s on hold everything seems to be going away from the months and months of PR build up.
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=2xxpd3Ye0zA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2xxpd3Ye0zA Enjoy!
e – I do (say that about gay marriage, that is). I absolutely 100% believe that gay couples should have just as much right to reject marriage as straight couples. Or choose marriage. In any case, if my gay friends announced their engagement in People magazine – and we were all waiting on a huge party with an open bar – and then spent a year dragging their feet for no apparent reason, I’d be critical of them (not that I was going to get a taste of the open bar at Jen’s wedding, but in principle I find the delay suspect).
It’s true, marriage isn’t necessary to be in a happy, long-term relationship. But I do wonder what the point of announcing the engagement was if marriage wasn’t that important. Maybe to show they’re committed to each other, though moving coasts and buying a house together shows commitment.
I do wish her luck. I know it was many years ago and better to end a marriage that’s not working than to live a lie, but she was put in an awful position by that very public breakup so I always wish the best for her. But I’m getting the feeling he might not be it.
@Mercyme, who wrote: “I know it was many years ago and better to end a marriage that’s not working than to live a lie, *but she was put in an awful position by that very public breakup* so I always wish the best for her.”
And ‘this’ is the victim card Jennifer Aniston has lived on, and encouraged, since 2005.
There was no ‘very public’ breakup. Jen and Brad had already broken up, and Jen had already filed for divorce, when those photos of Angie and Brad in Africa hit the tabloids in April 2005.
Granted, many people didn’t know Jen already knew about Brad’s interest in Angie or that she had filed for divorce a month prior to the photos. So people assumed she had been cruelly blindsided when those photos hit, that the Villainess Angelina Jolie had ‘secretly’ stolen Brad away and caused the break up of Jen and Brad’s marriage in the process. Jennifer Aniston allowed this public perception of events to stand, and even played along with it and played it up in interviews.
Jen has been at that public pity party ever since.
+1 Mercyme
Emma, did you ever see the video interview that the woman who wrote the Vanity Fair article did with Katie Couric? It’s on youtube. I’ll put it up. But let’s just say, that woman was mad. I mean, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think that Brad had cheated on her. And the thing that really got me (what made me start thinking Jennifer wasn’t over it) was when the woman was still referring to Brad as Jennifer’s husband…Jennifer did it too. This is at least two months after the divorce, and six after the separation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVrmAAWBnMY
Mercyme Aniston made it public herself by her Vanity Fair interview and is the ONLY one who has KEPT it public. Its her choice, its what she wants and it benefits her. She put herself in that position and continues to milk it to this day. It was her decision and she benefits ENORMOUSLY from HER decision to make it and keept it, very public.
Right, however the push for marriage comes from their part. After all that’s how she stays relevant.
How long until they break-up?
Me thinks they already are.
you could be right. didn’t the article say something about holding up on the construction of their home?
lol I wondered how close they’d get to their wedding date before basically admitting their relationship is a sham. Maybe now we won’t be subjected to “Jennifer’s pregnant!” headlines all summer.
People magazine Covers 1. engagement 2.Wedding Plans 3.Wedding on Hold 4.Broken Engagement 5 Meet Jen’s Adopted baby
LOL! No, cover 5 will be “Justin Leaves! Jen is Heartbroken … Brad is to Blame!”
and number whatever–‘Jen 10 years after Brad”.
Is this because Angie had back-to-back covers?
Hmmmm.
Good catch! I think we have a winner.
Good catch!
I’d believe it….she almost doesn’t seem to acknowledge Brad anymore, it’s the woman who “stole the prize”, so to speak.
It must have been galling to her PR to see
Angie getting two cover. Some months ago Jason Bateman did an interview and said that any man would be crazy to leave Aniston.People thought he was talking about Brad Pitt but I felt it was about Justin Theroux.If he marries her he has to live within her drama for the rest of his life,he would never be able to leave.
He has already lost a great deal of credibility.Also the just renovated house looks like something you do up and sell on.
That’s the best theory yet, and definitely within her / her people’s M.O. Nice one!
I love Jennifer, I’ve always been a fangirl, albeit not a nutty one. At this point though, I’m starting to think, dayum…girl just doesn’t want to get married at all! I agree if they really wanted to do it, they could fit it in between all the “super crazy commitments”. Uncool Jen…uncool.
You really think Jen’s the one dragging her feet? I would think it’s him – 14 years with the same woman and no wedding sounds like a guy that doesn’t want or need the piece of paper.
He’s had a lot more exposure, signed up with the most prestigious pr firm, been interviewed on the red carpet, things that have never happened before…until he hooked up with Jennifer. Do you think that at this point, if she wanted to get married, he’d say no? Dude hasn’t had a job in two years, and has pretty much been following her around and holding her bags. Maybe I’m wrong, and he doesn’t want to get married, but why propose?
I agree. It must be nice to live that lifestyle, but he would be signing up to be Mr. Aniston for the duration of the marriage. She is the dominant one in that relationship simply due to her wealth and level of fame.
That might seem fine to him at first. Perhaps the thought of always being “Jennifer’s husband” is eating at his ego a bit.
Who knows? It’s easy to armchair quarterback other people’s lives. 🙂
The theories are probably right. Justin is bored, but still a little greedy so he won’t give up. Leftovers… sounds ok. Justin isn’t a great actor though and premium channl shows aren’t guaranteed success.
I’m not Aniston movie fan, but she’s a business woman and people forget that. She could very well be busy with one of her many side businesses or investments. She’s the kind of investor that stays active and wants to know what her money is doing for the business so this is believable for me.
I believe his primary occupation is as a screenwriter. And quite a good one at that. I always got the impression that acting was the occasional side job.
He was a good screenwriter. He’s got nothing coming up except an undated zoolander 2 and leftovers. His last couple of jobs did not do well. Iron man 2 on terms of screen play was pretty bad. RDJ and special effects saved that movie. Rock of Ages bombed. His IMDB page says it all. And Tropic Thunder was great, but that had a lot of people working on it for … 14 years total i think and he wasn’t working on it for the majority of that time.
It seems like he’s dropped or stopped taking projects since he’s been with Jen and is more of a kept man. To say he’s busy with work is a stretch.
it’s easy to upstage a rumoured wedding, not so easy to upstage a mastectomy……back to the drawing board for new ideas.
So true.
++ Best comment so far.
Paris Jackson’s story should have been the cover story. It is shocking and relevant. Jen’s pathetic love life is already played out in every tabloid. $20 says Kim K. gets the cover next week.
I don’t know if Paris’ crisis should’ve been the cover story, especially since the date, June 24th, is a day shy of the 4th anniversary of her father’s death, which would seem parasitic, but Aniston’s current engagement/marriage/elopement/will they/won’t they cr@p certainly doesn’t warrant a cover story.
FFS… a double issue announcing an imminent ceremony and a single issue announcing… not so much. For a while, I’ve tried being diplomatic about this woman, and likely, I will go back to that because the aggravation isn’t worth it but honestly…this cover and her ‘co-hosting’ with Ellen ‘coincidentally’ when that We are the Millers trailer hit the web, which still is a head scratcher, given that Ellen could have (read: should have) had the whole cast of Arrested Development on to promote the Netflix debut, since AD is her wife’s show, continue to illustrate how much she is placated on a regular basis.
I want Aniston to get married, but more than anything, I want the ludicrousness to stop.
i’m glad it’s not about Paris Jackson. The media/gossip circuit needs to leave that girl alone.
I agree with pwal and lem, I’m glad it wasn’t Paris, her pain shouldn’t be exploited. But a cover story about Jennifer Aniston’s engagement being on hold sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. Well, most everything Jen does is incredibly boring actually.
Your “drawing board” kills me! LOL I imagine it “Dr. House” style.
How about new hair style AND new hair colour AND new mascara AT ONCE?
Well, that spike guys awards appearance didn’t do it….all the points were correct and present
1. little black dress. check
2. spike heels. check
3. new but same hairstyle. check
4. Nuzzle a new man [even if Jimmy Kimmel is taken].check
wait, she wasn’t the sexiest body this year?
someone is getting fired!!!!
now, where were we?
oh yes. new ideas.
@LAK, who wrote: “it’s easy to upstage a rumoured wedding, not so easy to upstage a mastectomy……back to the drawing board for new ideas.”
By golly, I think you’ve nailed it! 🙂
All Jen has is the ‘victim’ card, so it’s time to fake it … I mean, play it … in order to counter Angie’s real life mastectomy magazine covers.
The good news is, Justin will be the new villain in her life, not Brad … no, wait … Brad was ‘still’ the villain after John Mayer, so me thinks she’s planning to keep a tight grip on those Jolie-Pitt apron strings.
So true. But only a REAL (as opposed to made-up) baby could upstage that.
No way would her pregnancy upstage Angelina’s mastectomy which was reported worldwide. Angelina was on around 900? newspaper front pages and over 1billion hits for days on the internet. She was discussed EVERYWHERE by EVERYONE. Obviously the pregnancy will be talked about and make tabloid covers but it will not upstage Angelina’s shocking news. Aniston is only big in the USA, she is not international. People kind of expect Jen to have a baby and they will be like well good for her and move on. Anyway that’s just my opinion.
We have a winner on the ideas team. A baby will be HUGE news since this is the desired happy ending for poor eternally single Jen….
Minxx..You are hired!!!
@Leah – it is true that Angelina’s news was huge, but you underestimate how much Jen Aniston is tied to Angelina’s strings.
Actually, I do think Aniston is a big international draw. I read somewhere that “A” rankings are often driven by an actor’s ability to get international audiences, and I think the author used her as a case in point.
(And I’m NOT a fan girl, just saying.)
I don’t understand the point of this cover story. How many wedding stories has People done on them so far this year? It seems like every other week. Does she pay to get on the cover?
(And all the more reason never to actually buy that magazine, LOL. I personally find it to be the most boring tabloid in existence and only read it when trapped at the dentist, and that’s only because they offer only People and some terrible sports mags.)
Oh snap! LAK, you slay me!
I do wonder how she and her pr team took the news. I’m not trying to say that she was all “omg Angelina could’ve died in a few years, I need to start getting Brad back!”, but I do think that they wanted to counter it, once the news died down. Because for about a week, that was what all the articles were about. Even my dad read about it, and he can’t even pronounce/remember Liam Neeson’s last name.
So I guess this is her counter. It’s not like Huvane could *cough* “suggest” that Jen’s got health problems too, that would be too tacky and obvious. So the wedding. Now I’m starting to wonder if she’s holding off because of the mastectomy news, or because Angelina and Brad aren’t married yet. Combination of both?
We shall see. If she gets married before I hit 19 to this guy, then I will be very shocked. Unless, of course, Brad and Angelina do it this summer.
My last question is, wouldn’t she want to get married before them? If I cared about what my ex thought, I’d want their wedding to be measured up to mine, not mine to theirs. I hope they release some pictures (Angelina and Brad that is).
Have you noticed that her news is always piggybacked onto them?
I can’t remember the last time she had news that didn’t come out around the same time Brangelina are doing media rounds [or rumoured to be]
It’s a combination of using them to stay relevant, but also upstage in a ‘me too, i have news’ sort of way.
Brangelina are in the news right now for health and movie, so Jen has to release some news too.
This ‘marriage’ card is to keep her fans happy, much the same way that the ‘baby’ card did for years. At this rate, we’ll be dancing at your 21st before she marries, if she ever does.
Ok I just had to comment to tell you that my mom used to called Liam Neeson “Liam Nelson” all the time and it drove me crazy! If I am a fangirl of anyone, it is of Mr. Neeson.
My last question is, wouldn’t she want to get married before them? If I cared about what my ex thought, I’d want their wedding to be measured up to mine, not mine to theirs. I hope they release some pictures (Angelina and Brad that is).
THIS!!!!
You have to wonder if Aniston is kicking herself for not following through earlier. If she would’ve married, got the pics out there, and just enjoyed her marriage, then, IMO, any connection to Pitt and Jolie would’ve been severed, especially after Angelina’s announcement. No one would’ve timelined her marriage to the timeline of Angelina’s mastectomies, mainly because Angelina doesn’t have that type of public persona that begs for pity. And no one would have characterize Aniston as selfish for doing this because, hell, life happens and moves forward. No one would have characterize her as vindictive because there is/was no legitimate connection between these two couples.
JustJen and the Brange already existed in different planes, but if there is any appearance of JustJen trying to compete at this point, it would look even more pathetic than they intended.
@LAK
I know! I can’t remember the exact details, but when Brad and Angelina were rumored to be getting married on a particular weekend, Jennifer announced her engagement that weekend. And if I remember right it was on a really weird, pr-wise day. Or when Brad was in Cannes for Inglorious Basterds, Jennifer announced (several weeks later) that her dog Norman had died…which is sad, I’m very attached to my dog, think Lagerfield-like, but really?
@pwal
She should’ve just gotten married when she said she was….wasn’t it supposed to be this past spring? I mean I never really “cared” (as much as someone who reads gossip can care w/out being a loon), about who did what to who, up until that crap with Chelsea Handler came up….which is right around the time I was reading celebitchy.
As someone who is biracial (black, irish, indian), and lives in a very ignorant small town, it really offended and disgusted me that Jennifer would be endorse and be friends with someone who makes racist “jokes” on their ex’s children. The fact that she still is even seen with Chelsea, let alone goes on her show, like nothing ever happened just disgusts me.
So yeah, if I seem like I come after Jennifer too hard for someone on a computer, that’s probably why.
And God help her, I hope she’s not trying to compete with Brad and Angelina. I think the reason they’re so famous is because they don’t care. They go on and they do as they please, they live their lives. They are neither famewhores nor people who act beserk if they see a pap (I’m looking at you Alec Baldwin!). That’s why I like them. That and they also have things to say that doesn’t revolve around their workout, skin routine, or makeup.
I do think that Jennifer is competing with Brad and Angelina. She just so happens to get engaged a couple of months after they do. They get engaged the weekend everybody was reporting Brad and Angelina were getting married. Instead of wearing her engagement ring Jennifer sent a press release announcing the engagement. Usually a confirmation is sent out when the ring is spotted. It’s really unusual for a pseudo A/B-lister to make an announcement out of the blue.
Wow, LAK. You really hit the nail on the head. You usually do with your comments on Duchess Kate as well. Glad you are here.
I don’t have a dog in your theories, but I am pretty sure Theroux has had screenwriting gigs in the last two years.
As for Aniston, I am not sure I would work much if I had all that Friends money.
No. I am sure. I would be a shiftless layabout.
Not to work for two years seems like a stretch.
She doesn’t have Friends money anymore. That contract ended. That’s why she’s doing all these endorsements. Baby loves his skinny jeans!
Each of the Friends stars gets residuals each year to the tune of about 20 million. Add that to what they made when the show was actually airing, and none of them have to work ever again.
@Jess
That amount was for 10 years after the end of the show. I think that was the stipulation for all of them being paid $1 mil per episode.
@Jess: Her contract gave her Friends’ residuals for ten years after the show wrapped. Her residuals ended in 2009.
No Jess, each Friends cast got paid upwards of $16 million for only 5 years. And that ended in 2009. They still get residuals each year, but it’s a micro amount compared to those first five years after Friends ended. Which is why Aniston has to do 3 movies a year to get a similar yearly salary.
Friends ended in 2004 guys, and they get 10 years of residuals. They’ll be cashing in the massive cheques until next year, at which point they will have gotten between 150-200 million over the past decade, on top of what they earnt whilst the show was actually airing (around 60-70 mil), and what they’ve earnt from their other endeavors, which for Jennifer in particular would be a lot.
Even after tax, agents fee’s and so on and so on, all 6 cast members are doing a whole lot better financially than the majority of their fellow actors.
The Friends residuals amounted to a 6 way split of $100 million per year for 5 years [NOT 10 years] – ending in 2009. That came to $16.666 mil per Friend.
The only residual left is very small in comparison – maybe a million or less. This may be what people are referring to as lasting beyond the 2009 date. But there have been no big residual checks for 4 years now.
Jennifer doesn’t make that much per film so she needs to make a number of films per year to make up for that loss of residual income. It’s why you’re seeing her looking for more commercial work like Aveeno.
We are all over looking something big here! Aniston does not 100% rely on acting income for money! She’s a business woman and investor. She makes a killing in the realestate market always flipping her many properties. She has Aveeno, SmartWater, and quite a few other endeavors. She makes peanuts from acting and seems to only do it so she can get interviews and talk about her hair, work out routine and past and future details of her love life.
Dearest celebitches:
Let us assume that Aniston made $80m during her 10 years on Friends and $80m from the syndication deals. I believe this is pretty conservative as it does not consider any additional income.
Let us assume that she netted 30% of that after paying agents, assistants, and uncles.
That leaves her with $48m.
That is shiftless layabout money, people.
@Jellybird, who wrote: “I don’t have a dog in your theories, but I am pretty sure Theroux has had screenwriting gigs in the last two years.”
Not according to his IMDB page. His last writing credit is “Rock of Ages” 2012, which is when the film was released, ‘not’ when the script was actually written. “Zoolander 2” ‘is’ announced, but no date is listed, and with his upcoming HBO role that script is probably back-burnered for a while.
“Zoolander 2?” If that takes longer than two weeks to knock out, he’s doing it wrong.
Put me down for shiftless layabout, as well. TV, pajamas, more TV. Margarita fountain.
What scritpt has he sold?
The scripts he can claim having done the majority of the work all did poorly.
I remember when him and Jen were getting together and he was still with Heidi they spent more time together claiming he was helping her remake The Goree Girls. He would write the screen play and she would produce. Guess that flopped once they didn’t need a cover to spend so much time together.
@ FLORC
Why hasn’t she made Goree Girls yet? That actually is something very different for her…if she does something different in her acting other than widen her eyes in surprise, and play with her hair. I’ve been hearing for years, hasn’t it been since 2006, that she was going to do this movie. She has a shit ton of money, and a production company…can’t she finance it herself if she wants to?
Virgilia Coriolanus – She’s been talking about GOREE GIRLS since her divorce. I think it was the only property she optioned and retained in the division of Film Business assets or possibly acquired soon after.
Every single time she [her people/fans] want to point to a more serious aspect to her, they bring up this project.
I think we can safely put it in the pile that also includes ‘babies’. soon to be swelled by ‘marriage’.
Virgilia
What LAK said. This needs to go in the pile of Go-To topics useused d to defend Aniston. Babies, Marriage, Exposing her breasts in films, and leaving acting for Producing and directing such films like Goree Girls.
I am so shocked. Shocked! No…not really.
LOOL this is like the ‘Jen will have PROBABLY a child in the future, she is planning’ story. She won’t have children nor get married to Justin, yet, mark my words.
This is too hilarious.
that pic of the two of them is hilarious
botox is one helluva drug
He’s pulling away.
“Justin hasn’t worked since he filmed Wanderlust in 2011, although last week he did sign on to star in an HBO pilot called The Leftovers”
Hasn’t worked or hasn’t acted?
Hasn’t acted. If he is screenwriting, he could be working every day and we wouldn’t know until a deal is made. Or he could be bumming around, who knows.
or script doctoring. That’s a side of Hollywood that is rarely discussed. Script doctoring is very,very lucrative. You rarely have your name on the finished product, you may only change the title, but you still get paid.
That picture with the both of them smiling/laughing is very creepy.
“The Leftovers” was a pretty good book; I’ll be excited to see this show if it does come to pass.
I don’t think they were going to get married in the first place, it was just a way to keep herself in tabloids.
FYI…Justin is not JUST an actor. He is also a successful screenwriter. He wrote Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2, and Zoolander 2, which he is also directing…and is scheduled for 2014 release.
Tropic Thunder? Well, he just got hotter in my books. That movie is hilarious! And if he ruins Zoolander…he’s dead to me.
Ben Stiller was the main screenwriter of TT. Justin is like the third writer listed in the credits. He is responsible for IM 2, which isn’t saying much since it was panned by critics.
@ Evyn
Don’t remind me. I have a ten year old brother and a four year old nephew who LOVE Ironman. I had to watch that piece of crap so often, it’s not even funny. The only thing that saved it was RDJ. That and the courtroom scene…other than that, I cringed when Justin Hammer spoke.
Justin didn’t write the screenplays for those films, he co-wrote actually, as in, there were about 5 different writers and it’s well known that Ben Stiller tossed him a bone and gave him “writing” credit for Topic Thunder.
That’s correct. I also have to laugh at people who think Justin has made all this money. He’s barely worked as an actor except for the odd job over the years. Screenwriters at his level make dirt. They’re always bitching about it. Also directors at his level make dirt. Sadly for writers and directors – the good along with the bad – there are only a handful who make big money. He’s clearly not one of them.
The Ironman script he did has been excoriated. Fans of Ironman hated it and the franchise clearly didn’t want him writing another script for them. That won’t help his rep any in the industry.
On topic: I can’t see Justin working this hard to latch onto Jennifer and then voluntarily leaving at this point. No. He wants to seal the deal but he wants a good pre-nup and his lawyer daddy is able to refer him to the best of the best in getting it. Justin will put in 5 years and divorce. I wonder if he’ll try to reconnect with Heidi then.
Now THAT pity party I want to see.
Oh man, he wrote Iron Man 2? Proof that successful doesn’t mean good.
Who cares? She will never get over Pitt! Who the f cares? Why is this woman in the news?
Janie
Having grown up without much TV watching I wondered the same thing. She was that waitress from Office Space to me that married HOT Brad Pitt.
Now she’s in the news because Jolie and Brad are in the news. His WWZ and her Cancer prevention/awareness. If news about Aniston comes from People MAg it’s guaranteed to be a calculated PR move for her benefit.
“they need to figure out a way to create a life that makes them both happy,”
Is someone unhappy?? Wow.. I gather from that they’re coming apart. No surprises here.
“As fans eagerly await”?! Seriously-who writes this shit? Wouldn’t you love to be in the editorial meeting where this is discussed?!
“The Leftovers” seems like an oddly apt title for Justin @ Heidi FTW 🙂
Oops!
Every single solitary couple that I have known that has stated that they are too busy doing other things in their lives to be married has never gotten married.
These two might likely be married….. To other people. These two are not getting married to each other.
Busy with home renovations……..yeah whatever. She has enough money to purchase exactly what she wants that is move in ready.
Like Brad and Angelina?
From what I remember, Brad and Angelina aren’t the ones that are going to People magazine with every detail of their wedding. They announced their engagement, I think their jeweler said something, and that was really it.
Don’t expect people not to talk if you announce your wedding date (like Jennifer), and then push it back (twice??) via People, and then don’t expect people to talk about if you’re getting married or not. Especially since the dude’s done nothing but follow you around for two years, and gave you a cheap looking ring.
That narrative is out there, because her people started it.
Brad&Angelina said that their engagement was a promise for the future.Obviously they already knew she would be having a mastectomy,therefore it was a way of them looking beyond her surgery.Angelina has not given any interviews about her engagement/marriage.Brad has simply said it would be soon(which can mean anything)just family and lately that he is charge of the napkins.
I definitely have too much time on my hands!
@gennline..
Wow never thought of that. And yes Brad did say they had known about this for awhile. and were dealing with it for some time. I know the none fans used that statement as something against them, but if you look at it in the context of today..
it is a very beautiful and romantic thing.. AWww.. I like it.
Brad and Angelina are actually busy.
+1
And to address an earlier comment – As I recall, Brad and Angie didn’t “announce” their engagement. She was wearing her ring for some time before the paps spotted it and asked if she was engaged. They only””confirmed” the news.
They could easily just elope and get it over with. It is obvious he has no intentions of getting married with her just like with his ex girlfriend with who lasted 14 years.
so looking forward to “The Leftovers.” Christopher Eccleston signed on, too. On topic… I got nothin’.
Just a note about “The Leftovers”. It’s not about the Rapture per se. A bunch of people do disappear but not every one who leaves is “good” or “religious”. It’s more random and leaves a lot of questions for the people left behind. Anyway, a great book and I’m looking forward to the show.
This is bullshit. If they wanted to get married they’d do it without reference to Brad and Angelina or anyone else.
I’m betting he’s having a severe case of buyer’s remorse and wants out.
I was engaged for four years before I got married. Angie and Brad have been engaged longer than these two. I dont think one couple has any kind of connection with the other. Why even bring it up? If he had a severe case of buyers remorse he would be gone. Silly comment!
I think that Brad and Angelina have been engaged for a few months longer, than Jennifer and Justin. Something like three or four months?
And the reason for the connection, is that Jennifer announced their engagement on the same weekend that Brad and Angelina were rumored to be getting married, and it was on a weird day (I think it was a Saturday or sunday, one of the slow days for gossip).
That and she’s already had a People cover saying when she was going to get married, and has pushed that off (with 2 covers, I believe). I don’t get why she couldn’t have just announced her engagement, then after she got married, announced that….instead of doing all of this..
And Justin isn’t going anywhere away from her…..she’s going to have to kick him out kicking and screaming.
Technically, it was Justin who announced it… something to the effect that Aniston gave him the best birthday gift by agreeing to marrying him. To those who think he’s a boytoy, that statement said much.
What ensued next… months of delays in seeing the ring… a contrivance comparable to the Suri Cruise Vanity Fair reveal; pics depicting situations when the ring was showcased prominently; media appearances on Ellen, Chelsea and Jimmy Kimmel promoting seemingly nothing except her engagement where, again, her ring took center stage. People stating that they’re expecting to attend the wedding, the most recent one being Matthew Perry, which somehow didn’t ring true to me.
She’s got a movie coming out in August, I think; I suspect there will be another People cover stating that the wedding is back on track. How ’bout this-no updates until after it happens. Or pull an Ed Norton- disclose the marriage a year after the fact. Fairly sure that’s Brad and Angelina’s plan-the former rather than the latter.
Maybe they’ll break up. Maybe one or both just wants more time. Who knows. I don’t know why it’s worthy of a People Mag cover, other than that mag is basically run by stars’ publicists, and they’re trying to head off tabloid stories.
I have friends who postponed their wedding. They were both busy with work, and weren’t able to put in the time to planning that they wanted. They married a year later than planned.
For me, I’d just do something simple and small and wouldn’t care too much about details, but some people do care about that sort of thing.
He has a case of the yucks and she isn’t much better.
The picture of them together and smiling – they must work on their smiles so they mirror each other! Obnoxious. It is too bad that Jennifer is unable to find herself and be herself.The whole “Brad business” is old and over.Jennifer is still spinning her wheels in that pity party pool. Life is not a competition – one day she may wake up and realize how many years she wasted by this foolishness. Want to get married? Just do it – don’t make a production out of it. Don’t want to do it? Then don’t and get on with life.
I can only say, that given that this is coming from her camp and in People mag that this is may be the beginning of an exit strategy. Or may be they’re just trying to generate some public interest in their middle aged nuptuals?
Frankly, over the last two years, he seems to have had his personality and individuality pretty much erased.
Oh God, yes. Since they got together, he’s been looking like a tanned, metrosexual ken doll. For a while there, he wore more makeup than she did.
I knew it. Didn’t I say so few weeks ago that she would try to find a way to postpone her wedding.
did she really need another cover? Her team is forking very hard. I don’t believe they will marry. He was with his ex for 14 years. He didn’t marry her? I just think they rushed and got engaged because she didn’t want to be upstaged by her ex and his fiancee..It puzzles me how she got a cover announcing plans now a cover says it’s on hold how much of a famewhore can she be?
I think Jennifer would want a several day excursion on some beach with friends. I don’t know if it’s Justin delaying. Maybe she’s really mad/disappointed at something he did. If they never marry, I will not be surprised.
Now, I’m with theory that says they were never engaged in the first place. They could very well be a couple (for now) but, this is all for publicity and keeping their names in the press. It would also explain that fake ass looking ring that has never looked like Jen’s style. No one who even looked at a few pictures of her outfits would pick out that ring for her.
Fumny that no jeweler has ever taken credit for the ring.That’s. very unusual
I can’t imagine any reputable jeweler who would want to be associated with that ring.
I think you and Apples are onto something. It would explain a lot. Aniston is nothing if not an expert pr manipulator. Nothing with her is done without a lot of plotting or without purpose. She would, and does, do anything to spitefully upstage the JPs.
Whelp. She picked up this guy who was still living with his long term girlfriend. That’s gotta be a whole bag of trust issues right there.
Also, Jennifer is all about the delay. It was widely reported that when she was married to Brad Pitt he was all about wanting to have a family, move on from his self-described selfish existence and allegedly Jennifer wanted her career at that time more than Brad Pitt’s beautiful children.
Jennifer is a strange one. It seems she’s more involved in buying houses and renovating them than actually nurturing and carrying forward relationships.
Yeah, I don’t get how she and her PR team can push the whole ” I want to get married and make a few babies, but mean old ANGELINA…” narrative, when none of the guys that she’s pushed as her “the one” have wanted the same thing, or even been right for that,
Vince Vaugh..didn’t he deny that he was dating her for a long time? And then when she went around with an “engagement” ring on the proper hand, he dumped her by being pap’d partying with some college girls?
John Mayor…douchebag. The one with the David Duke dong…the one who bragged about watersports during sex…who she took back after he humiliated her with the paparazzi.
Gerard Butler…didn’t he stick a finger up her a** in front of the paparazzi? He denied going out with her too.
Justin Theroux…was with her before his girlfriend knew anything about it. was her unemployed, metrosexual, ken doll who had previously talked smack about Tom Hanks and his celebrity vs. art/performances….guess who he was out to dinner with a month or so ago?
I don’t get how anyone who looks at the guys she dates/goes after publically and think that she wants to get married and have kids all that much. I could see if it was the first year or so after her divorce, but she isn’t a spring chicken. None of these dudes, save Justin (and we can argue if it’s just her, and not her and her money/influence), have stuck around for very long.
Another point: Why announce anything at all? We (the little people) would not know one way or the other. She just wants publicity right now.
He looks terrifying when he smiles. He just looks absolutely sinister. This People magazine cover story seems like the biggest waste of paper ever. I had a long engagement, so I don’t shade anyone for that. But seriously, every detail needs to be put out there? Her fans really care about Justin Theroux? Before he dated Jennifer, I knew him only as the guy who played the villain in the Charlie’s Angels sequel!
I didn’t realize the HBO show was based on “The Leftovers.” I found that book to be hugely disappointing. Interesting premise but terrible everything else. Hopefully the show goes in another direction
I guess I am the only person who hears the strains of “Staying Alive” at that last skinny-jeans pic…
And, for the record, I don’t think they’re going to get married for the simple reason that he doesn’t appear to be the marrying kind. He was with someone for 14 years and didn’t marry her, so he might just not like the pressures of the commitment. Which is fine, really, but I wish they would stop running cover stories about it.
Well so once again Peeps does a dumb cover story on Jennifer and her “wedding”. I don’t get this. Maybe they are pissed that they gave up covering an actual disaster to cover her “wedding soon”. Now they are doing the “wedding on hold”.
I doubt she and JT are broken up. He finally has a job in the making if it gets picked up. And being that he has gotten more attention in the last year or so from association if he had been doing any work the press would have noted it. And her fans that work so hard to make him this huge screenwriter should stop. He was in most cases a “co writer’ and by not giving the other’s their credit to build him up. is wrong.
Brad/Angie have not given an interview to Peeps since Brad promote Killing Them Softly. the 2 covers that peeps put out had not direct quotes from either. They have not been talking about a wedding nor have they said when. Just soon by Brad. And I’m sure when Angie’s surgery was scheduled that became the focus.
I actually think the worst thing for her popularity has been the relationship with Justin. Her fans don’t seem as interested. she has a man now so I see less and less talk of her from her fans. It is always.. she and Justin are cute; I like her style’ they seem happy.. end.
She has never been an interesting person. And outside the wedding, baby and ex there is nothing new known about her doing anything of interest.
This story that is not a story should have been a sidebar not a cover.
I wish she’d focus on making a movie that does not put folks to sleep…
she bores me with all of her extra crap.
get married, the end..or NOT.
Justin will escape, I am sure, she is a maneater in a boring type of way.
I predict that as soon as the wedding plans are finalized and locked in for these two, Jolie will announce her wedding for the same week and Jen will have a breakdown. Everyone knows the media will go much crazier for the Jolie/Pitt nuptials than they ever would for Aniston/Theroux. Jolie knows it, too, and she will do whatever she can to throw Jen off because that’s how she rolls.
AJ is prepping to direct a film in Hawaii,possibly having ovaries removed, she could care less about Aniston
Aniston can get married tonight or never, as far as Jolie is concerned. I don’t think she ever spares Aniston a thought in a thousand. And that is what infuriates Aniston’s fans so much: Aniston is obsessed with Jolie, while Jolie doesn’t know or care if Aniston exists.
Angelina has not said one word about her engagement or wedding. NOT ONE in over a year. She has never said a thing about Jennifer Aniston. NOT A WORD. She and Brad were engaged first. and then Aniston. If Jennifer were so concerned with Angie ruining her day, she has had a year to get married. Brad and Angie as we know have been dealing with some other things.
Frankly.. Angie doesn’t give a Damn about Jennifer and when she and Justin marry or not. And neither does Brad for that matter. So the coast is clear. Let the wedding march begin.
but I saw Aniston in an interview say that she had not planned anything and it would probably all come together at the last minute. So see nothing is in her way.
Angie hasn’t said anything about their wedding in the entire 14 months they’ve been engaged. Brad only said something recently about handling napkins. I think they will get married and no one will know until after or a little bit before it is done.They seem more private, while Jennifer on the other hand has a magazine cover for every little detail. We didn’t need to know she was postponing her wedding or when she was planning it. She is so hungry for media attention. I swear if Brad and Angie did something like this they would be stoned mostly by her fans.
Guys- don’t feed the trolls.
I’m not really surprised. This is the same guy who was with his ex for 10+ years without ever committing to the relationship. Now he’s with JA and all of a sudden he wants to get married? I doubt it will last.
Maybe Justin has asked jen to stop listenning to old messages of Brad in her old cassette player …
You know, it’s like her morning prayers…she listens to them religiously and probably says in her sleep ‘Brad, oh Braaaaddddd’…
Maybe Theroux is fed up of walking in the shadow of another man and told Aniston : “Get rid of them or i’ll go back to Heidi…”
Wouldn’t it be something if the fact that Brad is sticking by Angelina after the double mastectomy and for the impeding ovary removal is a mindfcuk for Aniston? After all, Aniston did everything to ‘look the part’ during and after the marriage and yet, Brad is sticking by Angelina as if they are in an actual marriage, not a HW one? What Angelina has faced and will face kinda compromises the ‘Angelina got Brad p#$$y-whipped’ theory that many, including Aniston (possibly) held for many years.
If the idea that Brad actually loves Angelina has cast Aniston’s world into a tailspin, then she shouldn’t marry anyone.
But if this just about getting her and Justin’s ducks in a row before getting married, then, seriously, stop going to People Magazine with non-exclusive exclusives about the impending/postponed marriage.
I hope I can find a guy like Brad. All of his exes are half in love with him still, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word about him from anyone…except Ms. Aniston, of course, in the Vanity Fair article.
Back to back commitments huh? Apparently infomercials, drunken award show appearances,and Cabo trips must be keeping Aniston very busy indeed.
ITA with the folks who think this wedding just ain’t happening.
Again I don’t think they are broken up. Maybe he is getting opportunities that he has never gotten before. He is with a big agency now. Getting attention. Name in the press. so maybe he wants to pursue those new avenues. Kind of what Jennifer did when she was married. she wanted to get into films after TV.
Now my question is why do her fans need to pad his life and career. That he makes all this money. They say his net worth is 10 million (well ok) so he bought that ring and half a 21 million house + all the renovations and is still sitting on 10 million.
I make way more money than my boyfriend. That is just a fact of life for many couples. It may just be that he wants to ride the wave of opportunities. It will be interesting how they work this out if his show is picked up. they have not had the challenge of 2 people working and making the relationship work. that is very different.
(not comparing) But I think that Brad and Angie learned that lesson from past relationships. So they take turns and travel to be where the other one is. Marriage needs people to be together.
I think a bone fide HBO hit could change up the power dynmamics here a lot.
It’s like the baby thing:
Of course Jen wants a baby.
Jen is going to have a baby!
Jen is not going to have a baby?
Jen thinks YOU’RE narrow minded if you think she needs a baby to be happy.
Bump watch. Is it on or is it off?
Of course Jen wants to get married.
Jen is going to get married!
Jen is not going to get married?
Jen thinks YOU’RE narrow minded if you think she needs to get married to be happy.
Engagement ring watch. Is it on or is it off?
And so on…..
Pretty much, yep, lol 😀
Jennifer Aniston is never going to get married, especially not to THIS guy. Why do magazines keep promoting this idea? I don’t think either of them wants to married to each other.
Good god almighty…these two shiny-faced lookalikes are about as fascinating as a bowl of old, crusted-over oatmeal. Not even.
I’m always amused at those who belittle his life, which was pretty nice before he met Aniston. Do all of you have 1million dollar pads in NYC, a home in Hawaii, independent wealth, and a respected career (all pre-Aniston)? He could be chafing at the whole “Mr. Aniston” thing and hate living in LA, even in a mansion. Maybe they are in fact having trouble finding a middle ground. It happens.
I don’t think anyone is belittling his life. I think it is just strange that her fans are padding it. He is the one in many interviews that talked about struggling to make it. So that is what I’m talking about.
Actually, tracking, I agree with you. The Aniston version of Justin seems oddly diminished and sanitized. It’s like he’s undergone a home renovation himself. Maybe updated but without any personal character.
For me it’s that if he didn’t like the way she lived, if he was perfectly content to be at the level that he was, why on earth would he sign with her publicist? He was apparently doing fine before. I get that when you date someone famous and you’re in the business that you get some level of exposure. But how many of those people get what he got? He’s being interviewed by reporters on the red carpet…never before had that happened. He signed with CAA, a huge pr firm. From what I’ve seen of his work, he isn’t that good a writer. Ironman 2 sucked hard. So what else should I think?
Who cares if they ever get married? Plenty of people never do and are happy anyway.
I always figured he was a paid piece due to everyone else of quality ran to the hills or said “no.” (Hint: Bradley Cooper and its funny how everyone claimed this week he is her ex when he all but stood in the middle of Hwy 10 to deny her, hmmmm) Aniston pr work again. So this enaged-wedding shenanigans was always fluff to me because her time, bad movies and popularity (why?)is drying up. They needed an man to keep the Brad comparisons going, baby rumors flowing, wedding possibility chirping. There is nothing real in the persons life she is all made up by pr. She loves it and craves it but hates it when it’s not what she want. Which her team do pretty good job of making her **** don’t stink. Her new angle which Aniston said she didn’t believe in celebrities selling merchandise yet she’s now hawking crap to stay relevant..
I remember that! It was funny, because this is a guy whose dating/conquests are so questionable that he’s got gay rumors around him left and right, and he’s going to straight out deny that he was dating her. That’s cold (and funny).
Jennifer is such a lazy actress…I think that’s one of the things that bothers me so much about her. It’s not that she’s so bad (although she is), it’s that she can’t be bothered to do anything more than her usual schtick. I mean, I saw the trailer for The Good Girl, and that’s probably the best acting I’ve ever seen her do (probably because her hair was pulled back), and that’s really just average. If you’re going to get paid an obscene amount of money for a good job, then you better put your best effort into it. She doesn’t seem like she puts any effort into it at all. To me, she’s on par with Megan Fox, and Megan Fox’s acting isn’t as annoying to me.
Oh goody, I knew that this thread was going to be good today!
The comments save this story. I just can’t with her. I just can’t imagine why she would want herself to be linked to Brad and Angelina. When I first started reading celebitchy (right around the time Mariah Yeater was after JB), I thought it was an exaggeration that she was still not over him/hated Angelina. But when I read the Vanity Fair, Vogue, GQ, and Chelsea Handler…I was convinced. I don’t get how Huvane didn’t talk her out of this.
It makes her look pathetic. I don’t get how people don’t think that she had something to do with it. She has the most powerful pr agent in Hollywood, if she wanted, she could’ve squashed the rumors in the beginning….and she’s pretty much the only person in Hollywood who’s still linked to their ex, like she is.
I also don’t get why people don’t think she hates Angelina. Chelsea Handler anyone? Ugh, that woman just disgusts me. Especially since she hasn’t dropped her since Handler made those “comments”, as early as three or four months ago…sometime after the Golden Globes, because she was trashing Taylor Swift too.
This all being said, if these two do get married, she better have a prenup because I don’t see it lasting for very long…unless Justin’s going to try to make it ten years in California:)
I don’t think Justin likes LA at all. He’s a quintessential NYC type. Whereas she seems typical Southern California.
They don’t seem to have much in common, if anything.
We need a Brangelina post, stat! I have a question to ask all you celebitches.
I think our favorite couple will attend the WWZ NYC premiere on the 17th, so you have a few more days.
Review the pictures of her with Bradley Cooper this week. To me, it looked like she still had feelings for him.
That was for pr honey. Aniston and Huvane are still trying to connect her to Bradley Cooper. Especially, now he is an Oscar nominee. While she was dreaming of what great things could come from dating him and on the other side Cooper’s rep was telling him to stay far away from her. She is bad for your soon to be HOT career. You want to be a movie star, a possible Oscar winner or the tabloid star who replaced Brad Pitt? Bradley Cooper chose movie star and screamed it to anyone who would listen “I am not dating Aniston and never will”
So that look Aniston is giving is dang you could have been Justin.
That’s what really burns…this is a dude who’s got gay rumors more than straight girlfriends….he IMMEDIATELY denied and squashed any rumors of them dating as soon as they came out….
Justin Theroux hasnt acted since wanderlust but he does a lot of writing and directing. He just finished directing anchorman 2.
OMG….no he did not!
Adam McKay is the director. Get your facts straight.
Also his writing credits over the past few years are unimpressive.
He has really not worked since hooking up with his sugar mama.
He’s in the middle of doing Zoolander 2, which is close enough to correct. Also, he wrote Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2, so it’s not as though he doesn’t have a career.
Ok for anyone who keep saying that Jen get engage to compete with Brangie,or she always did stuff to compete with the Brangie.
Let’s step aside out emotion,and consider the fact.
Which couple who saying that they will never get married until everyone can get married? But change their mind around the same time Jen found her man, with excuse of their kids want them to get married,but still post pone the wedding for whatever reason.
Another fact,when Brangie having kids after kids, and Jen being slammed her “selfishness ” to not having kid the reason her husband leved her, Jen never actually adopted kid or surrogate to compete or clear her image,which she can do easily with all her money.
Plus who is recently who keep bringing his ex wife name to promote his movie? I understand both using the same pr tactic,but since Jen with Justin,she is more silent that the sudden blabber mount of her ex hubby.
So let give this girl a break.i think it’s wise of her to have long engagement,specially with her marriage history. I don’t think marriage is an answer to have a great happy relation.
I just wish the best for all the couple,marriage or not they seem happy.
Around the time she found her man??? She has been through plenty of men over the years and Justin is no different. Why then did they not get engaged during the Vince era? The Mayer era??? Justin just has something to gain, whereas they did not.
I do not recall B.P bringing her name up this time at all. Her name has not left his lips.
Fact is, she and Justin would never have gotten engaged if the JPs had not. FACT.
First off, they said that their kids got them to change their minds. Second, Angelina just went through some major surgeries; that’s a legitimate reason to push off an engagement or a wedding.
Second, Brad has mentioned HIS evolution as a person, within the last ten-fifteen years of HIS life, and has never mentioned Jennifer by name, except when he tried to clarify that he wasn’t talking about her.
Actually, Pitt didn’t mention Aniston in his Esquire interview… anyone who read it knows that, Fact.
As for the timing of the JP engagement, it’s doubtful that it had anything to do with the existence of JustJen. It was likely about timing.
As for your contention that people say that Aniston is/was selfish because she doesn’t/didn’t have babies… there may be some who feel that way, but from I get from this site is that some posters have a problem with a woman going to the press and saying that a baby is imminent and doing everything that illustrates the opposite and possibly wasting the time and getting the hopes up of the guy she was married to. And there’s a contingent of women who are happily childless who hates that if Aniston doesn’t want children, she’s too cowardly/ashamed/self-serving to admit it. And after, what, 12+ years, I suspect that all of the above mentioned would prefer that she keep her baby-making or baby aversion plans to herself, much like the wedding/marriage plans.
I’m NOT surprised. This woman cannot for the life of her, keep a man.
That first photo of them smiling is hilarious. Justin put on too much spray tan and his smile is really creepy. Jennifer smile looks like the Wicked Witch of the West. She looks mean the way she’s scrunched up her eyes and nose. I do wonder if this means a breakup is coming really soon. Blaming work doesn’t make sense. Why can’t they pass on projects knowing it would conflict with your wedding? Jennifer has been promoting her engagement for months. She hasn’t had a movie out but she’s been doing a lot of interviews. As mentioned People is a front for a lot of publicists. How else to explain why Jennifer got the cover to promote her engagement over the Oscars and getting another for announcing a postponement. At most this should have been a sidebar. So something is definitely is off.
Something’s been really weird with her face this past year. I don’t know what it is. In those pictures, she looks high and plastic. Maybe it’s the makeup, the smoking, the tanning, and something else…but it looks awful.
I think she’s had fillers put in her face. She looks like a chipmunk.
Poor Manniston lol, she’ll never learn. She needs to date outside the public eye & move to Buford, Wyoming. Also, she can stop making movies too.
why are you here if you dont like her ?
Do I have to like every “star” I comment on? No.
I fail to see why People gave her the cover with this nonstory. Guess having a Huvane for a publicist and having another Huvane as your agent is all it takes.
If People had not been hand fed that tale months ago that they were getting married as soon as she had completed her latest stripper film then there would have been no need to issue this sort of marriage denial for the time being.
No other celebs do this, nor do any other celbs get People covers entitled “5 years after” their divorces. Guess “10 years after” will be a future cover, then 15, 20, 25……infinity.
I really don’t understand the fascination some have with the maybe or maybe not marriage plans of a 44+ year old woman.
One word: Huvane.
That’s all.
And the more I think about that cover, the more it really creeps me out. When it first came out, I wasn’t too bothered by it, I didn’t get the implications. But when you think about it…God that’s pathetic. And to think she actually signed off on that. I hope whoever did the cover was laughing their butts off at that. I don’t think I could’ve stopped laughing.
Why do people consistently act like Justin is K-Fed 2.0? He has written, directed and/or produced some really big movies (see Iron Man, Tropic Thunder) and he’s working on Zoolander 2 right now. He may be a freak, but he has plenty of cash and doesn’t need hers.
IKR? she can’t possibly be with a man who loves her, cause she’s such a loser.sarcasm
Ironman 2 was crap; he was a co-writer on Tropic Thunder. Name me one movie that he’s directed. We know this guy’s name for one reason: Jennifer Aniston. That’s it.
Dedication (2007). I actually really enjoyed it. And according to IMDb, he’s slated to direct Zoolander 2.
And you might know this guy’s name not for Jennifer Aniston, but I knew it because he played the cowboy in Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion, and that movie is awesome. Speak for yourself.
MisJes-My point was that he is a household name, not because of his talent, but because he is with Jennifer. I had never even heard of this dude (I had seen him in Charlie’s Angels but didn’t connect it until later), until I hear that one: he’s dating Jennifer, two: he cheated on his girlfriend with her, and three: he signed on with her pr team….he’s not that well known outside of her.
This is very lame. Also all the baby nonsense. Good luck with that when you are 44.
They kinda deserve each other, but whatever…
It is hilarious to read how crazy the Brangelina fans go over any news regarding Aniston. Face it- no one is crying over Brad now. Look at the man! His looks are gone, his hair is continually greasy and unkempt and he was never, ever anything other than dim in the intellect department. (Listen to interview with Justin versus Brad. Justin has a brain at least.) Jolie and Aniston both would be/are better off without Brad.
Brad, a dim wit?! Hmm, let’s see….he’s a successful actor, Golden Globe and SAG winner and 3-time Oscar nominee; successful producer of Plan B Entertainment which has produced Golden Globe and Oscar nominated films (Assassination of Jesse James, A Mighty Heart); the brain child of Make it Right, the non-profit that provides affordable and sustainable housing for residents of the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina (MIR is now being replicated in cities across the nation); architectural student of Frank Gehry and successful furniture designer with design partner Frank Pollaro; along with Angie, established the Jolie-Pitt Foundation to aid humanitarian causes around the world; successful wine producer with Angie and the Perrin family (their French neighbors) with their very first bottle of rose that sold out in less than 5 hours; and a committed father of six, with fiancee Jolie, who appear to be happy, healthy and very well-behaved children. If that’s the definition of a dim wit, I’ll take it in spades.
Regarding Brad’s looks, why does that bother you? Doesn’t seem to be a problem for Angie. Seems to suit her just fine. As Angie said a few years back when a reporter asked her if she liked Brad’s goatee, she said, “I love Brad in every state.” Says it all right there. Angie loves the MAN, the FATHER of her children, and what’s inside. She’s not caught up in the shallow or superficial. That’s what makes this couple so interesting and admired. They don’t suffer fools.
Ahem…
Gm v. TC:
Score- 6-2, 6-1
Game.Set. Match!
Jen and Angie are a slightly higher-rent version of LeAnn and Brandi.
Hardly. Leann and Brandi are always sniping at each other. Angie never even acknowledges Aniston’s existence.
Umm, Angie is a UN Special Envoy who just brokered a deal with the leaders of the G8 Summit to end War Zone Rape and make perpetrators accountable. She’s also a philanthropist and supporter of humanitarian causes. She’s isn’t a high-rent version to anyone, most of all a washed-up country singer and surgically enhanced reality TV personality who fight on Twitter all day long. Angie’s her own woman. No comment on Aniston.
Well, it seems their stunt at the Oscar’s proved to be a big fail, so it may be time to pull the plug.
That Oscar outing drew the biggest case of “who cares” followed by “no chemistry” than Angie’s Medical Choice and well it’s “stick a fork in it – we are done”. Why bother if you can NOT outdo your said to be rival?
Drama for drama sake needs a finish line. Where could Jen’s be? A baby after a preventative double masectomy will prove laughable. A wedding after Brad sticking by Angie throughout their ordeal is such a NO BIG DEAL. A breakup will yield Justin bashing and Jen not keeping a man. Her finish line is “THE PITTS”. All puns intended.
Time to call the charade over and move on until the next big Jolie-Pitt reveal. And guess what, Jen will still draw a “WHO CARES” and Justin will still be a “NO ONE EVER CARED”.
I smell PR shenanigans. I bet she’s trying to soap opera her wedding (WILL THEY or WON’T THEY?) for some attention. It’s all about the attention with these two…
God that pic of them smiling for the cameras makes them look so coo-coo. That’s what Hollywood does to your brain,I guess?
They look like wax figures in that top photo. He looks better when he is less plucked and groomed.
If it is in People, you know that’s the soft version too. I hope those kids can work it out. If not, I’m perfectly willing to fly down to Cabo and have a few margaritas by the pool.
‘the leftovers’ was an awesome book. i can see it being made into a great small series for HBO.
as far as the wedding goes, doing a house renovation seems far more exciting than planning a wedding, esp. if it’s your second and you’re in your 40’s. they’ve got an awesome life, i doubt a fairytale wedding will enhance it too much.
There was a blind item supposedl about these two and that the reason for the postponement is b/c she was pregnant, miscarried and he’s not sure he wants to go through it again. I can see being wary of her becoming pregnant at 44+ unless she had her eggs saved earlier, but I’ve never read that anyway, so I doubt it. I think she thought she would just do it naturally when she was ready, but now it’s getting scary. I don’t understand why he’d not want to marry her now if he wanted to before. who knows.
