ITW: Jennifer Aniston is prepared for an awards-showdown with Brangelina

in touch

A lot of you didn’t think there was anything suspicious or Uncool Bermuda Triangle-ish going on earlier this week, when Jennifer Aniston appeared at a Cake screening during the same media cycle as Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken premiere. I still disagree. I’ve seen Angelina, Brad and Jennifer passive-aggressively poke each other enough times over the years to say that they all pay attention to each other in varying ways, to varying degrees. I’ve always thought that Jennifer plays into the Uncool Bermuda Triangle stuff a lot more than Brangelina, although Brad has his moments where it’s seemed like he’s said he was bored to tears being married to Jennifer. Now, after ten years of this crap, are we finally ready to bury the Uncoolness? Nope. The tabloids still want to paint Jennifer as a neurotic loser plotting out what she’s going to say to them at the Golden Globes.

Maybe Jennifer Aniston just wanted to lay low as she prepares for a ‘face off’ with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at January’s Golden Globe Awards, according to a Wednesday report from InTouch Weekly. Jennifer looks like she could be nominated for her drama Cake while Angelina will most likely get a nod for directing her WWII saga Unbroken and Brad could be singled out for his acting turn in the war epic Fury.

The weekly reported that Aniston is ‘repulsed’ by the Oscar-winning beauty and wants to ‘look her straight in the eye and tell her how she really feels.’

Angering the Aniston star is how Brad allowed his marriage to her be mocked while being interviewed by Zach Galifianakis during Funny Or Die’s Between The Ferns. In the skit the Ocean’s Eleven star looked annoyed to be reminded of his union with the beachy blonde. The weekly insisted the blonde bombshell felt humiliated by the references.

So she is ready to confront the power couple who wed this summer in France with their six children in attendance, earning them the People cover, it was added by the publication. Though it’s claimed the Friends star wants the confrontation, she is allegedly worried.

‘She is nervous to the point of being sick over the prospect of coming face-to-face with Brad and Angie,’ said the source. ‘But she has waited a decade for this.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Let me clear: I don’t think Aniston really feels this way. I don’t think she’s nervous or worried or even desirous of any kind of “face off.” I think her focus is on increasing the buzz for her “Oscar hopeful” Cake by any means necessary, and maybe part of her promotion involves hyping up the potential for an old-school Uncool Showdown. And maybe that’s one way to get a Golden Globe nomination? Because she’s not really going to get an Oscar nomination, right?

    Oh my BALLS why won’t this stupid “feud” die already!!!

    Neither of these women care about each other and both have moved on. As if Angelina has time to worry about Aniston’s career. The woman has more important things on her plate FFS.

    On another note, Jen and Justin are really cute together and I want that plaid dress.

    • mimif says:

      +70 three hundred million thousand. Die already, feud.

      Yes to her dress and yes to the cuteness factor. So there, you win, Kitten.

      P.s. Totally getting another pixie bob!

    • Frida_K says:

      God, I know. Totally agree with everything you wrote here.

      SHITE, this just needs to stop.

      • DenisePayne says:

        There are certain tabloid stories that in my opinion appear to be plants so that Aniston’s PR can issue denials. The ol’ plant & deny PR 101. Think of it as similar to the old saying ‘whoever smelt it dealt it.’ If it’s accompanied by a particularly great photo of Aniston, if Angelina/Brad are demonized and the tortured humble sweetheart Aniston is being portrayed as the ever sad sack who is being placed in an awful position by you know who (Maleficent/Angie)…and must weather the evil storm with whatever strength and courage she can muster…then BINGO, you guessed right: it’s a plant from Aniston’s PR.

        I think her 2014 triangle redux PR plotting is less about getting Aniston a legitimate nod from an awards body, but more about stirring up old decade bad blood and grievances reminding the two people left who care, about the genesis of Brad and Angelina’s relationship (which she went on a several-year ‘pity’ tour showing how the end of her marriage devastated her…i.e., aka ‘So please hate the brangelina and love me.’)

        Planting b.s. like this, may be more a sad attempt to get people to shut out Angie or Brad this year (the association and tabloid circus with her – and its effect on coverage of other noms has to be a pain for the industry) rather than to get aniston any kind of recognition for a movie no one loves. It’s just more vindictive coattailing she and her PR flack do…file under Vogue Uncool and Chelsea Handler.

        Last time this was done..both Brad and Angelina still got their Oscar nods, while she, a lowly unnecessary presenter, dragged John Mayer to watch..then got dumped by him the next day. Lol

        She should take heed.

      • JenniferJustice says:

        Hmmm…I see it the exact opposite. I think Aniston is desperate to get away from the RomCom crap she’s always been associated with and show the world she has some actual acting chops. She wants to do some prolific works before her star fades so she can change what she’ll be known for.

      • Grant says:

        JenniferJustice, I think you hit the nail on the head.

      • DenisePayne says:

        I doubt that seriously Jennifer Justice…Aniston strikes me as the type who wants things handed to her for very little effort…even if she’s not the go to for a coveted indie role, she certainly is more than wealthy enough to have financed her own stuff for the last 20 years (look at Kudrow, and Cox)..yet she’s been reluctant to pay to buy/acquire good scripts and produce things herself. I personally think she’s barely mediocre in ability but that’s here nor there. Point is…

        She feels she deserves an illustrious film career (she wants it having given no actual illustrious performances) and despite never lighting the film world on fire or achieving any reputable film recognition or achievement in 20 some years.

        She feels entitled and she holds grudges and its why she’s taken the extraordinary step of creating her own distribution arm for a movie that’s not getting raves and wasn’t very good and demands that outlets print and reprint “oscar buzz” in the text despite there being none. It HAS GOT to be THIS year she does this…wonder why???

        Personally, I think she has emotional problems. It’s over compensatory narcissism.

      • FLORC says:

        Then we should all write to Huvane and tell him to stop this BS. Same with Handler. Their direct connection to Aniston makes it seem (if not intentional) that she is A-OK with this tactic.

        I’m pretty certain if those avenues are shut down the gossip sites will no longer travel down it. No fuel, no fire.

      • Josephina says:

        @DenisePayne-

        These Aniston apologists are so very transparent….

        What you have stated is TRUE.

        We now have a 10 year track record of film and event coattailing from Aniston’s PR camp funded by Aniston. She operates more like a politician trying to win votes in an uphill campaign battle rather than as an actress with depth talent and A-list box office draw. Up til this day she STILL cannot stand on her own as a box office draw and she has had MANY, many opportunities to break or shine through her character roles. The truth is she has already given her best in acting, which include many lackluster performances, and too many of you have not accepted it.

        The interest in Aniston is NOT her talent as an actress because she is not filling in the seats — not without HELP from much stronger talented actors or in an ensemble (See Friends.) After 20+ years in the film industry, she cannot get distributors interested enough to buy her film Cake. Another one of Aniston’s films, entitled Life of Crime, was released earlier this year… and did POORLY in theaters, went straight to DVD and performed POORLY there as well. No profit made, and no recognition for her acting chops, either. And given all this history AND track record… the JenHens wonder why no one bought the distribution for Cake????

        A better question would be why SHOULD anyone buy it? The few film critics that offered an opinion said her acting was ‘OK’ — as in not bad, not ground-breaking, not a breakout performance, … just a change from her usual shtick

        But back to my point– people want to read about her life and see where she will end up but they don’t want to see her on film as the main character. I find this weird because art usually imitates life.

      • SK says:

        Some of you lovely ladies and gents are waaaay too invested in what is essentially speculation. I’m seeing a lot of impassioned mini-essays here on what all 3 of these people have and are doing. You know what? You need to chill out. None of you really KNOW anything because none of us know these people. All 3 seem like really cool, nice people; maybe a bit strange because most super-famous actors are. Good on them for being nice people in an often crappy world. I think you can admire Angie and still like Jen and vice versa. Be cool peeps!

    • Annika says:

      @Kitt:
      That’s exactly what I was coming here to say! You, naturally, said it better than I could.
      All I can muster is…….BARF

    • doofus says:

      hey kitty! couldn’t agree more. it’s the tabloids and the cray-cray fans on both sides that keep this feud alive…I don’t think anyone IN the “triangle” cares very much anymore.

      it IS In Touch, after all. I mean, really…”repulsed”?

      RE: the dress – there are a LOT of plaids out this fall. I’ve seen really cute pencil skirts at (don’t judge) Old Navy, as well as other “high-end” retailers. I’m sure you could find a similar look at Macy’s L&T, Bloomies, Nordstrom, etc.

    • Aura says:

      Yes! I am in total agreement with you. I doubt any of them think about each other AT ALL. It’s been 10 years.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Some of you can keep insisting Aniston doesn’t ‘care,’ whatever that means – until you’re blue in the face, but the evidence that she does is pretty much there under your noses. She”s coattailed their major events for years…this latest award season is just more grist for the stalking mill.

        Whether it’s the stalking, coattailing and too many of her uncomfortable non-coincidences…or whether it’s obvious and blatant like her PR stable mate and new bestie Handler attacking her ex husband’s now wife…to most people who don’t care to enable and coddle this woman it’s very evident that she ‘cares.’ Lol

      • doofus says:

        well, SOMEONE sure cares…

      • Kitten says:

        @ doofus-LOL
        @Denisepayne-you realize that you’re keeping Aniston as relevant as possible with all your crazy posts, right?
        You’re definitely WAY more invested in these two women than they are in each other.

      • bondbabe says:

        @Denisepayne – and YOU keep insisting Aniston does care; how do you know? Your stringing together bits and pieces of this or that, and then stating it as evidence is so tiring. Do you have her PR people bugged? Wow. LET.IT.GO.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Nice to meet you doofus. I never said I didn’t care. I’m not like some people who plant themselves in every Brangelina/Aniston thread 24/7/365 then bizarrely go around acting blase and asking other people why they’re here. LOL

        I guess we’ve never seen you in a dreaded triangle thread before…eh? Heh.

        Perhaps you can learn to care as much as me instead of hypocritically lashing out at certain people…then you could at least explain your constant presence here too, and not look stupid when people point it out.

    • Andrea1 says:

      @Kitten +1000000
      I’m just going to say I feel all these tabloid stories about them having a showdown during the award season is hurting both their movies Come on now! no one has seen the movies! What happens if they both don’t get nominated for anything? What then will the tabloids come up with? Don’t they ever get tired? Ugrh this has got to be exhausting…That’s my opinion anyways.

    • TheSageM says:

      Plus I seem to remember the three of them attending the Oscars a few years ago… I remember Aniston presenting and Brangelina sitting at the front row, Angelina wearing those stunning emerald earrings.

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        Yep. That’s why these stories are so completely ridiculous. I wish the tabs would just drop it. It’s so completely done and over. No one cares anymore.

    • Tristan says:

      You are so right for sure! After all this time, why on earth would any of them still care. It would be possible if JA & BP had kids together, as children can complicate the picture, but they dont. Besides, neither of the three players strikes me as being the type of emotional or mental train wreck, to go psycho at this point in time

    • Erinn says:

      I want her dress and jacket. Did she go a bit darker for her hair? It looks a bit healthier? She’d look really good with a brownish blonde.

      • Falkor says:

        Whatever she’s doing style-wise in these pics, it’s working. Chica lookin’ good!

      • Camille (The Original) says:

        Shes lost a bit of the fake tan/blonde hair OC housewife look, in order to look more like a ‘serious actress’.

    • Jess says:

      Completely agree with you kitten! I think they’ve all moved on and I wish the tabloids would as well. Also think Aniston looks cute in the plaid, it’s different for her but works.

    • Jennifer says:

      Jennifer and Angelina should make a movie together. Romantic comedy meets action flick. Why the hell not?!

      • Tippy says:

        I could see them in a remake of “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Comments like yours are exactly why Aniston’s PR plants this b.s. – it gives her an association, a higher profile and continued relevancy. Is anyone contemplating aniston do films with streep, bullock, roberts, Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman or jennifer lawrence? Does Angelina Jolie need to make a movie with Aniston? That would be a double no.

        Take both Brad and Angelina out of this award season – let’s pretend they’re taking a couple years off?

        Would we be talking about Aniston’s desperado moves for a movie that she had to buy herself because no one wanted it, in a year where brange were MIA? Please. Would aniston and her pr flack be staging faux premieres? Would you be suggesting Aniston do a romantic/actioner with Shailene Woodley or Kate Beckinsale? Would you be suggesting any work or projects for aniston at all? My guess is no.

        The association and coattailing is the thing – that’s what serves Aniston….believe me, aniston and her pr flack try to figure out and learn Brad and Angelina’s calendar better than they do. Have done it for years.

      • Peppa says:

        Tippy, your comment is everything. Hollywood needs to make that happen.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @DenisePayne …

        Well said, and I agree. 🙂

    • someone says:

      I totally agree, its getting ridiculous…

    • AntiSocialButterfly says:

      It is very effective click bait, you know?

      • Peppa says:

        Absolutely. I think Aniston’s PR guy plants stories, but I don’t think the stupid triangle stories are necessarily of her doing. The tabloids know that both of these women have die hard, rabid fans who will not let the triangle die. I think Jen loves the “poor Jen” angle, but I think she is mostly looking for a redemption ending (Oscar nod, new relationship, baby) to this story, not to dredge up the past. I think both ladies have some strange fans and the click bait works (because here I am clicking and commenting).

    • Lahdidahbaby says:

      I’m with you, kitten. It’s beyond stupid how people get all up in this non-existent drama that has been perpetuated by only them, the posters who leave War and Peace length diatribes about the malevolent Aniston or Jolie plots.

      BALLS. FFS. balls.

      • Jegede says:

        “War and Peace” length . LMAO and very true

      • DenisePayne says:

        Lah, it still remains to be seen why you need to wonder at various poster’s personalities and the length of said posts while not commenting on what’s being said about the celebrity. This is called ‘celebitchy,’ not why is ‘poster A home from work today?’ It just comes across as an effort to shut down criticism of coddled aniston.

      • Kitten says:

        Lah actually was commenting on what was being said about TWO celebrities by replying to my original comment. Your obsession with Aniston withstanding, the story here is actually about Aniston AND Jolie.

      • DenisePayne says:

        I think the obsession is yours ‘kitten,’ since you’re clearly steamed because I’m critiquing a former tv sit com actress. Why get personal – I’m commenting in context and if I want to write a long post ala VC, what’s it to you? The hypocrisy is all of you angry ‘balls!’ ladies getting po’d at me just for posting like Aniston is your long lost mother. Calm down.

      • Kitten says:

        On the topic of hypocrisy (since you brought it up) you telling others to “not get personal” and to “calm down” is one of the funniest things I’ve read here today, so thanks for that.
        Might I kindly suggest that you take your own advice?

    • Priya says:

      It’s just BS. I bet Jennifer Aniston would probably just tell you Jolie looks gorgeous. I doubt she’s unhappy with how things worked out. Looks like she’s doing okay and her life seems pretty fun.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Priya, no one makes up aniston complaining about her life…she does it herself….yet and still there’s always the insistence by her enablers that she’s just soooo happy and content. Lol, mkay. Riiiight. Crying though yoga poses, doing docs on the price of fame, saying her life is awful while and when married to pitt, complaining present day of the fishbowl…complaining of not getting roles…undermining and lashing out at friends who get fillers and procedures while she herself gets fillers and procedures…having a bestie that viciously attacks imagined rivals constantly which keep the triangle and warring stories alive, giving numerous magazine articles where she presents holding a grudge, lashing out, sobbing, melancholy – getting engaged and telling People Mag Ina big cover story, then scoffing and disdaining the interest in her personal life and complaining. .. not to mention the seeming stalking….I mean just what gives you the impression that she’s happy, or over it…?

      • GreenTurtle says:

        Denise PaynoTrolls,
        BALLS!

    • susie says:

      I think this might be a “Golden Globes” thing just to bring publicity to the show, since almost nobody watches those shows anymore.

    • Petunia says:

      Oh Maniston is so thirsty. You have to see her pattern of painting herself the very picture of the downtrodden, victimized underdog. She’s milked it dry. Good luck one dementional, career based on hair and marriage , Jen! She’s Babs Streisand all day without the talent!

    • MrsBPitt says:

      jen and Angie, both are juggling too many BALLS in the air to care about what the other one is doing!

  2. All I got out of this was ITW= In Touch Weekly.

    • mimif says:

      Lol V. Come on, I want an analysis. 🙂

      • Haha, I didn’t think anyone wanted one….I don’t believe this anyway–even though I do think Jennifer follows Brad and Angelina (not that I believe that she planned her premiere of Cake to coincide with Angelina’s premiere–like she even decides that. She’s not the director), I don’t believe this story. I think that Jennifer’s PR is pushing all of this Oscar buzz BS because she wants to be taken a lot more seriously. This is just the first phase. At best, she’ll get a GG nom. At best. This entire story is hinging on that fact–that she/Justin and Angelina/Brad will be in the same room. Even if that happens, I don’t see them going up to each other. At all. And I do think that’s more about Jennifer, than Brad or Angelina–Brad/Angelina regularly have dinner with BBT, and Angelina’s done humanitian junk with Johnny Lee.

        As far as Kaiser’s analysis of the tit for tat–as far as I’m concerned, Jennifer kinda started with it, and then Brad struck back after Chelsea Handler got involved (with the ‘I was bored in my marriage’ quotes,etc), which I can understand because he did start defending her against the baby bs, and then she turned around and insinuated that he’s the one who wasn’t committed to a family (implying that she was)–I don’t see Angelina at all as even being involved in that.

        Anyway–I see these kinds of stories to be more focused about Jennifer/Justin. I am VERY interested in what’ll happen with them next year. Justin’s show has been renewed, but last I saw there were no filming dates, nothing–I don’t know if that’s because Liv is pregnant, but it’s up in the air when it’ll be filmed. So he has nothing going on for next year. Jennifer doesn’t either–according to IMBD (or IMDB, always get them confused), she’s not attached to any film project. So if she doesn’t get nominated for a GG, what then? What will she do next? What about her and Justin? They’ll have at least a few months to have some alone time with each other. Will they get married, or will they continue to see each other on the f-cking dot like it’s a quarterly meeting to discuss their finances?

        Also–if she doesn’t end up nominated, then these stories make her look really bad. Because they are all she will be seen as–especially next year, if she doesn’t get nominated (after all of that hype from her PR), and doesn’t have any new exciting new projects come out. So what’ll it be for the Aniston-Theroux household? I think they’ll either break up or get married next year. They’ll have to.

        Was that good enough, mimif? 🙂

      • Falkor says:

        “…done humanitarian junk…”

      Same here, haha.

  3. mimif says:

    What, in the name of all that’s holy, is Aniston doing to her face? Because she looks great, best in a long time. Did she lose the Orange or eat a baby, or what?

  7. MrsB says:

    LOL at “blonde bombshell” That is not a knock on Aniston at all, I think she’s very pretty. I just would never describe her as a blonde bombshell. She’s not even blonde?

    • Natasha says:

      Its clear proof that this came from Huvane.

    • DenisePayne says:

      See my previous post. There are certain ‘tells’ that let you know when a tabloid/gossip/blog item are coming straight from Aniston’s PR flack/camp. If there’s a great cover pic (for her) of Aniston, “blonde bombshell?” if the one of AJ is meh, if they’re touting the “Oscar buzz,’ (per her flack’s orders), if they’re then painting Brangelina as her torturers…then THAT, equals a Huvane special.

      Which he will promptly deny to gossip cop giving the story and discussion more legs. They’ve done it for eons..

      • paranormalgirl says:

        Oh God, give it a rest already.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Why? Pretty sure unless your Aniston’s mom (and even she wouldn’t give a shite) it really shouldn’t bunch your drawers what any of us says about Aniston’s PR shenanigans. Do u ride in on a white horse for other celebs or just Rachel?

      • paranormalgirl says:

        Maybe I’m sick of reading you repeat yourself over and over and over again ad nauseum. Not even a fan of Aniston’s, just not a fan of incessant rambling.

      • GreenTurtle says:

        BALLS!

    • epiphany says:

      Bombshell? Never. A bombshell isn’t just beautiful, she’s sexual in very frank and comfortable sort of way – Aniston is neither. That’s why she garnered, and still garners, so much sympathy – the cute but not beautiful girl next door snags the (then) hottest guy on the planet, then the gorgeous but oh-so-evil femme fatale steals him away from America’s Sweetheart! Steve Huvane is definitely earning his exorbitant fees with all this Oscar baiting. If one of these stories actually described her truthfully – an attractive, middle aged rom-com actress trying to break into more serious films – I might believe they aren’t a PR plant.

      • DenisePayne says:

        +1000 Careful Epiphany, Dallas will call you CLINIQUA. Heh.

      • epiphany says:

        Cliniqua, huh? That’s kind of pretty! Everyone on here knows I don’t care for JA – no, I don’t hate her, that would take too much energy. I’m also not a Brangaloonie, although I think they’re fine, and AJ is certainly more suited to Brad than JA ever was. My low opinion of JA goes back to the time of ‘Ocean’s Eleven, when I saw the cast doing an interview. Brad was asked what he wanted most, and, through tears, no joke, he answered, “okay, I’ll say it; kids, I want a family.’ Aniston was in her last days of ‘Friends’, so I thought, “oh what great timing.” Lo and behold, ‘Friends’ is over, and Aniston signs on to do 5 films, and I thought to myself, “so THAT’S why you married him!” She’s always wanted to be famous, and marrying Brad was the show business career move of a lifetime. I personally don’t think Jen was ever that much into Brad, and I don’t think she gives two hoots about him now. It’s the attention she gets from being the ex Mrs. Pitt that drives her. I think it irks her that Brad and Angie can pull more media attention that she, but I don’t think she wants Brad back, because I don’t think she wanted him (much) in the first place.

      • moot says:

        Yeah, epiphany. I never disliked JA until it became overly obvious in the years post-divorce that she was never going to stop riding that train for what it was worth in publicity and tabloid articles and Q scores and so on. People have busted up in Hollywood before and scandalously overlapped (pick your theory on the triangle crossover), but I’ve never seen such blatant attention whording from a jilted ex.

        Talking about it excessively with Oprah was really the last straw. Once, sure. But every. Single. Time. Let’s talk about something other than how being with a man is making you happy, how great it is to age and stay healthy. What’s that? Then there’s nothing left to talk about with you? Yup. I kinda figured.

        Well, good luck with the Cake nomination.

      • TC says:

        Great points, epiphany! Aniston really did bask in that “golden couple” label when she was married. She couldn’t get enough of the attention and the spotlight. Brad abhorred it. Hence the reason he was “hiding out” during that time. I agree that she’s more irked by the loss of that spotlight than by the loss of Brad. With Brad did come a certain level of celebrity that she can’t enter on her own or even with Justin. So the continued association keeps her name connected with his, and by association Angie’s. It’s a clever PR game to play. But for how long will Huvane continue to play it? That’s what I want to know. I feel we’re way past the tipping point on this.

      • Toe says:

        Brad in tears saying he wants kids?! I never saw that interview. Do u remember who interviewed him? Maybe i could search for it.

  8. Bea says:

    Didn’t they “face off” at the Oscars a few years ago and….crickets…..

    I neither like nor respect Aniston for engaging publicists and attack-Handlers who continue to perpetuate this silliness but if there is even a shred (and there’s always at least a shred) of truth to this article then she really needs to switch therapists.

    • starrywonder says:

      Yeah they already faced off and nothing happened. No one cares anymore about this BS feud.

      • Eh, not technically. Brad and Angelina were double nominees for Best Actor/Actress, and walked the red carpet. Jennifer and John Mayor didn’t walk the red carpet, posed for pictures in the ‘back’. They were shown in the same frame when Jennifer was presenting–I think Brad/Angelina went home, and Jennifer/John went to an after party. If they did actually go to the same awards show, especially an awards show where they might run into each other (not like the Oscars where everyone’s sitting down for majority of the time) would still be news.

        VC you’re right I forgot. I just remember GG was salivating about it and then poof nothing happened because you’re right JA made sure there was nothing to see there.

      • DenisePayne says:

        I’m curious starrywonder, what do you mean JA ‘made sure there was nothing to see there?’ Lol Come. On. Do you really think she did something to avoid Brangelina when she went to a ceremony THEY were being honored at?!

        She had no reason to even be at the show. She was as good as stalking them. I recall reading Brad avoided her like the plague. Don’t know if true but I’d believe that more than Aniston trying to dodge.

        Couldn’t she have doubly “made sure” and stayed home with the douche Mayer who went on to dump her the next day? Afterall she of course wasn’t nominated for a dmn thing and had no reason to be there. It was Brad and Angelina who in tandem got Best Actor and Best Actress nods. It was their night.

        Her skipping a year to present (with someone else who helped her read the teleprompter) ‘best foreign short costume,’ would have ensured there was no tacky tabloid circus hype to ruin the Oscar proceedings at all.

        She courted that whole trashy mess. She wanted it. ‘I will not be IGNOOOORRED Brad!’ Lol

    • DenisePayne says:

      Lmao Oh there’s a ‘shred’ believe me….she implied as much when she went to the Oscars Brad and Angie were both nom’d at a few years ago…I believe she even.talked about it with Oprah or in some interview subsequently, in the context that Mayer had to come to support her (like she was facing down nazi war criminals) and he insisted she ‘go and be strong’ or some such b.s. (Eyeroll at 50mph) – mind you she didn’t have to encourage the tabloid circus and bring that to bear on the ceremony at all……but I believe she wanted both brad/angie to have a major headache, be a pain their ash, and to hog their Oscar spotlight with the tabloid tacky nonsense she brought into the room. That was the goal and she accomplished it. We got deluged with showdown tabloid junk like this..and Kate Winslet and whoever else won that year wasn’t being talked about at all.

      I would think she’d be persona non grata with the industry, actors and especially these legit award shows. You know Julianne moore is probably fed up. Lmao

    • Josephina says:

      Actually, Aniston has admitted to being in therapy for over 20+ years, or since her 20s, and then her therapist died.

      Aniston and Brad were in therapy within the first two years of their “marriage” as well.

      My point is, you are already and have been seeing the fruits of her therapy progress.

    I still wonder who is buying these magazines when they put those stories on the cover. I’m a huge Brad and Angie fan.. I don’t buy tabloids. I would never buy one with such a story.. So who is their target audience. Because if those dumb stories are still selling at this point and this many years, then blame the idiots that are buying it.

    and even though I am a BA fan, I can’t believe Aniston or her people would want these stories out there. They don’t make anyone look good.

    • Andrea1 says:

      Exactly!
      Who buys them? That’s the question
      The people who buy this tabloids should be ashamed…. I’m sorry to say!

    • Falkor says:

      My 85-year-old grandmother-in-law. She’s also waaay into Fox news and talk radio, too, just for reference. She infantilizes Aniston in her adoration of her and swears that Aniston will NEVAH heal and will pine after Brand forever-after and that Angelina is a no good harpy skank and Brad secretly hates her you know and he’s only there for the kids and he wants to escape his prison tower and return to his one twoo wuv, Jen and run-on sentences. It’s somethin’, let me tell ya.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Ha your grandma..that’s about right…meanwhile my 15 yr old niece never even knew Brad was with anyone before Angelina. Lmao

        ahhh..bless her.

        @Falkor.. Your grandma get a pass from me.. even though her beliefs are WAAAAYYYYY OOFFF… lol
        ***
        My Aunt doesn’t buy tabloids, but she watches the entertainment shows.. and she said that Jennifer will and has never gotten over Brad. She things Brad and Angie seem right for each other, but that it looks like Jennifer is still in the same place she was when the marriage ended.. She is 70.

        But people under a certain age didn’t get vested in this. I know so many people that didn’t know Brad was married to Aniston. Heck most of them thought Brad and Angie had been married for years.

        It’s crazy..

      • Falkor says:

        @lisa
        It is totally crazy, but also totally hilarious how fired up that woman can get over it all. No matter how bad Jen might feel about everything, Oma surely feels worse.

    • Cindy says:

      I wonder too! I get embarrassed just having to stand there with the damn things in line at the grocery store.

    • Bea says:

      Sadly, I think you are serious.

      • jen2 says:

        Wow, talk about out of nowhere.

        I think the two women Mr. Pitt will have to interact with are the two women who will most likely get nominated for best director. His lovely wife and Ava DuVernay for Selma, who he hired. Oh by the way, a film that is getting major buzz which Mr. Pitt produced, so he will most likely also get a nomination for best picture–again!! Mr. and Mrs. Pitt do not need this silliness as they have extremely successful careers with Awards written all over both of their films.

      • jen2 says:

        I meant the above as an answer to tippy, not Bea.

      • Lady D says:

        @Bea: That comment was funny.

    • BNA FAN says:

      Tippy, I guess I missed that interview when Brad dredged up the triangle recently. The last time I read Brad referring to Jennifer was about three years ago when he said he was leading a boring life, when he was married to Jennifer. He clarify the statement saying she was not boring. But HE was boring and wasting his time sitting on the couch smoking reefers.

    • Natasha says:

      Not true. Brad has only mentioned Jenn twice. I think you are delusional. Brad has mentioned Jen twice in 10 years. Precisely twice. Aniston has mentioned Brad and their marriage almost every single interview she has done in 10 years, hence why everyone calls her out for coat-tailing.

      • funcakes says:

        Agree. Brad barely mentions her. This is how you know Jennifer is living off this triangle years later. Yout will never hear her say she prefer to never discuss her ex husband because she has moved on.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Tippy, who wrote: “Brad seems to be the only one who dredges up the Triangle when he wants some extra Oscar buzz.”

      When did Brad do that? Link, please. Thanks.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Right because Brad mentioning his own life and how miserable and bored he was in the late 90s, automatically equals Aniston. That’s some low self esteem both she and her coddlers have if they equate her to boring when no one even mentions her name. Just because Brad pacified her by clarifying he was talking about himself – that still doesn’t equate to aniston. what really seems to bother her and her fans is that she raves about Brad on Oprah and talked about saving his voicemails while Brad never mentions his life with her directly at all. Her name doesn’t cross his lips. Embarrassiiiiiiiiing! (Said in Oprah sing song voice. Lol)

    • Falkor says:

      HAHA! Oh wait, for realsies? BWAHAHAHA!

  13. Susan says:

    Wow. Just glancing at those pics of Justin and Jen together I noticed the size of his platforms on his shoes. I thought only Tom Cruise did that.

  14. Jennifer says:

    Please I think they moved on long time ago. I don’t get it why some people are still digging and looking for something. Jen and Brad were married, Angie was mistress for some time then girlfriend and wife in the end. There always will be some strange dynamic between them but I don’t think they give a sh@t about each other anymore. It’s disturbing that every little thing is blowing out of the proportion so much. She can’t do this, he can’t say that, blah blah blah. They can do or say whatever and whenever they want. Get over it.

    • Emma - the JP Lover says:

      @Jennifer, who wrote: “Jen and Brad were married, Angie was mistress for some time then girlfriend and wife in the end.”

      LOL! Perhaps this is why it won’t die. Angie was never Brad’s mistress.

      • Ms. Thang says:

        And the congregation says “Amen”.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Thank you Emma, that one hit me too. The timeline confirmed by Aniston, Pitt, and Aniston’s friends:

        Aniston & Pitt were married, Pitt was already unhappy in the relationship. He found himself interested in a co-worker. Nothing happened, no affair. He went home at the end of the job, told his wife he had feelings for the co-worker. Wife said go get it out of your system, I’ll be here when you get back. He said no, it is serious. They separated and started divorce proceedings. Pitt pursued Jolie. Pitt and Jolie start a relationship. Aniston has relationships with Vince Vaughn, etc. before the divorce is finalized.

        You call Jolie the mistress for dating a separated-and-divorcing man. “Mistress” is generally a negative term used for a woman having an affair with a married man. Pitt left his wife to start a relationship with Jolie, that isn’t an affair. It is exiting a relationship, starting a new one, and the lengthy paperwork is in process.

        What do you call the men Aniston dated before the divorce was finalized? Boy friend, lover, or Man Whore?

      • Geri says:

        Come on do you really believe that their relationship on the set of Mr and Ms Smith was “platonic”. Give me a break. Back then Angelina had very different reputation. I think she was the one who homewrecked Billy Bob Thornton’s long term relationship with Laura Dern. Oh sorry I forgot Billy Bob was unhappy with Laura and Angelina saved him. The same way she saved Brad. LOL.

      • notasugarhere says:

        Geri, please see point 22 below. You fell for Dern’s lies.

      • Ennie says:

        Let us not forget the Aniston-Theroux affair starting on set months and months before clueless Heidi found out. Her and Justin even went as a couple to events when Aniston was introducing him as a “boyfriend”.
        But the angry cry is “but they were not married” , yeah they had only been together for all their adult lives. twice as much as Brad and JA. No wonder Dern is friends with Aniston, home wrecker goddesses.

    I laughed at that too – “blonde bombshell”!!!

  16. fan of angie says:

    Her ‘I ate a baby’ skin was temporary. The Daily Mail has pictures of her in a white chiffony thingy and she looks quite rough! I don think she’s pretty at all.

    • Sea Dragon says:

      I don’t think she’s pretty at all either. Great body, great hair but the face- okay irl but very homely onscreen.
      It’s even a shame CB’s posts on AJ and Anniston were next to each other the other day because there’s zero comparison. Angie is simply stunning.

    • Janet says:

      I saw those photos in the Daily Mail and she must have shot her face full of Botox or whatever because she looked exactly like a chipmunk.

    They need to settle this with a Cake-off Bake-off. No, really, I think AJ iss too busy for this shit, Brad is too high and JA is just happy that there is a bit of buzz for her acting.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Kri, is she really happy tho’? How can she be happy when she had to buy her own movie and finance distribution because no one else wanted it and when her PR flack is the one manufacturing the ‘buzz?’ Come now. She’s desperate and makes me uncomfortable. Lol

  19. JH says:

    Jenn is engaged to a hot, successful and supportive dude. Why would she give two flips about Brad and Saint Angie?

    • Natasha says:

      Aniston’s relationship with the ugly greasy Justin is fake, she only got ‘engaged’ to her cheating douchebag Theroux just to compete with Angie. And he is hardly successful. He is a gold digger who got with her on agreement for money. Its clear she wishes she had Angie’s life.

    • minx says:

      Wait, I thought she was engaged to Justin Theroux.

    • Maya says:

      Justin is successful? Thanks for the laugh.

      The movies he wrote the scripts for were panned, for Tropic Thunder 6 other people were involved, he doesn’t have any movies planned.

      He has been in the industry for 2 decades and didn’t get any publicity or recognition. He hooked up with Jennifer to become a tabloid celeb – he is a certified gold digger.

      • Josephina says:

        “… He has been in the industry for 2 decades and didn’t get any publicity or recognition. ..”

        And THIS is why Justin and Jen are a perfect match… Their film progress is equally yoked. Both work best in an ensemble.

    • The Original G says:

      By the average person’s standards, I think they’re all very successful. I hate when all the extremist get on the Celebitchy and ruin the usual good vibe. ITW is just prodding the lowest common denominator to inflame the non-existent drama here. It’s going to take much more than this stupid cover trope to get either of them nominated for any film awards.

      And no one has really actually seen either of these films?

    • epiphany says:

      If you call standing on her coattails and going along for the ride supportive, then I suppose that’s true. If ‘Leftovers’ had become a mega-hit, ala ‘Sopranos’, or ‘Game of Thrones’, as opposed to a middling success, he would already be gone.

      • Janet says:

        He wants to be an A-list leading man and he thinks she can help make this happen. When he finally wakes up and realizes it’s never going to happen, he’ll be out the door so fast she won’t see anything but air.

      • Josephina says:

        Whether he makes it or not, the ride alone was worth the time and effort. Look at his life before and look at his life now…

        No comparison.

  20. Sayrah says:

    Well no one was biting the face off between Amal and Angelina so we’re back to this in the tabloids. Yawn

  21. Luca76 says:

    There is obviously animosity if not a full out feud, I think the magazines embellish but there have been too many digs from Aniston and her friends and passive aggressive digs from Brad to believe there is nothing.

    All one has to do is look back at the Crawford/ Davis or de Havilland/ Fontaine feuds to see how petty famous people can be.

    I just think when you are used to getting your way and fawned over that one time you didn’t get your way and someone rejected you can eat at your ego more so where a normal person would let it go.

    If they wanted this story to go away they would have posed together when they were all at the Oscars together or at a charity event just gritted their teeth and put the rumors to bed.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Hey Luca, I believe 100% that there’s a grudge and feud on Aniston’s part, afterall this is a woman who’s yet to let her now ailing mother back in her life. You’ll have to really do a lot more to convince me about Brad. It was clear to me he was overly patient with Aniston even as she played her poor pitiful me routine to maintain relevancy and springboard into a mediocre rom com film career. I recall fans of his actually being miffed that the guy was being so nice after her vanity Fair salvo and ‘poor pitiful me, please hate them,’ routine he even made excuses for her after the uncool vogue story (saying she got tricked into her response). I think all gloves were off after she went in one too many times on Angie which couldn’t be explained away as a simple flustered slip. The next GQ which followed vogue she jabbed angelina again and I think Brad was done being a gentleman at that point and he realized she wasn’t an honest authentic person.

      I think before that he was encouraged to travel the high road in responses/reactions – by Angelina and his own good nature. I don’t believe Angelina ever did carry a grudge or dislike jennifer, she strikes me as the type to just want Brad happy, and to have the same kind of friendly relationships she enjoys with her exes..

      I think if anything it bothers her that Brad doesn’t have that and that there’s animosity and immaturity.

      The only party that flourishes and gets boosts from animosity and angst, is Aniston.

      • Esmom says:

        Wow, you sure seem privy to some highly detailed inside info. Either that or you have invested a lot of time thinking about these celebs.

      • DenisePayne says:

        What’s it to ya Esmom? I’ve been a huge fan of Brangelina’s since they got together in 2005, and before that separately. So i know a lot about what has happened and gone on in this continuing nightmare – also facta, as well as stuff about events and timelines.

        An example: when some hater starts screeching something like ‘Waaaah and Grrrrr, Jolie and Pitt had an affair on set!!,’ I weigh in and say, ‘Well probably since they were still shooting scenes in may of 2005 for Mr and Mrs Smith, 5 months after he officially split with Aniston.’ I think I leave valuable info and it also corrects the nasty often false record that still gets spread to coddle aniston, even 10 years later.

        Go save the day for some other celeb who’s being critiqued…i don’t think aniston is worth all your devotion and protectiveness.

      • Cindy says:

        Good grief. Calm down.

      • Josephina says:

        Denise IS calm, articulate and gets her point across well.

        Denise is criticizing Aniston’s PUBLIC behavior towards Angie post divorce..

        Here’s hint: There should not have been ANY display or comment whatsoever. Why? Because you are divorced. You now lead separates lives. Brad has been purposeful in not including you in anything related to his family. And therefore, his name should not come up. And definitely, his girlfriend/fiance/wife should never be a topic for you, especially since you only met her once in 2004 and only in passing.

        Hence the criticism.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Also Luca, ‘posing for a pic,’ does nothing – the headlines then just read ‘Brad Forces Angelina to Make Nice w/Sworn Enemy Jen.’ More importantly the day Jennifer holds hands and sings kumbaya with Brangelina is when she ceases to be relevant. The angst, the grudge, the faux catfight, the drama and competition – her revenge ‘happily ever after’ for her ‘team aniston’ supporters…..THAT, is what gets her ink and drives interest…she knows it, her PR guy knows it…which is why her premiere was on the same day Angelina’s was, why her engagement came a week later, why she followed them to their oscar ceremony. .why she’ll do it again this year if she gets a chance to present… I could go on and on.

  22. julep12 says:

    Natasha, I believe that AJ had something to do with Billy Bob Thornton and Laura Dern’s breakup in the 90’s. That’s been pretty well publicized. Anyhoooooo, I am not really pro JA, I just think it’s funny no one ever brings this up!

    • jen2 says:

      What I think is more interesting is that when Dern got together with Thornton, he was married. And let’s not forget how she also got pregnant with a married man whose wife was pregnant at the same time. Yet it is Angelina who keeps getting hit with false homewrecker crap. Ms. Dern is no miss innocent and has no right to play the victim.

    • I never understood why Angelina is ‘blamed’ for that. Laura Dern’s statement said that she went away to film a movie, and when she got back, her boyfriend was married. Where in that statement does she say that Angelina was a fat lipped homewrecker that stole her boyfriend? What it says is that Billy Bob was not honest about the state of his relationship to Laura Dern OR Angelina. BBT is a total dog. He’s cheated on most of his wives/girlfriends. How is it much of a stretch to think that he downplayed his relationship to Angelina (who was young, and had been in open relationships before and after BBT), especially since it doesn’t seem that Laura ever visited the set of the movie they did together.

      Just my thoughts…..

      • epiphany says:

        And maybe I’m just old fashioned, but it isn’t as though BBT was having cheap, shoddy affairs behind Dern’s back. He met, fell in love with, and MARRIED another woman. That in itself speaks volumes about his relationship with Dern.

      • Lee says:

        Plus Laura Dern hooked up with BBT when he was still married to his third wife Pietra Thornton.

      • @epiphany
        What I’m saying is that Laura’s statement reads to me more that Billy Bob went behind her back–not that Angelina ‘stole’ him, or even really knew that he was in a serious relationship. It was the nineties/2000s. I’d buy that not many celebs back then used the internet OR followed each other like we do celebs now. Information was not as available as it is now.

        And as for the ‘dog’ part–just that I’ve heard that BBT cheated on a lot of of his wives/SO’s.

      • epiphany says:

        @vc – sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear. I’m agreeing you. I’m saying that his relationship with AJ wasn’t cheap and shoddy – he did the honourable thing, and married her!

      • Esmom says:

        Ah epiphany, I get it. An affair is ok as long as you marry the person you cheat with. Lol.

        Serious *balls* on this thread today!

      • DenisePayne says:

        Esmom, I assure you Aniston with the help of her bestie power PR guy and Handler and even her fiance who lives in NYC who loves his newfound fame – is well taken care of..she doesn’t need u riding to the rescue.

        The point your missing is that Dern and Thornton were unmarried and done according to Thornton, and Dern’s own Dad.

        So why the insistence on placing blame on Angelina and calling it an affair?

        Pretty sure Dern knows what an affair is or isn’t since she cheated with Thornton herself.when he was married to his wife Pietra Thornton, and she also cheated with married musician Ben Harper who’s wife was pregnant,.and got knocked up by him, end result being Ben has two baby mamas….giving birth at the same time…his mistress Laura and his wife. So yah..pretty sure Dern knows what cheating is since she’s the cheater personified.

        Which begs the question: WHY do you believe HER again??

      • notasugarhere says:

        esmom I don’t understand your comment. Neither BBT nor Jolie were married or in relationships at the time. It has been stated by Dern’s father and manager that Dern lied about still being in a relationship with BBT.

        Two single people met at work and started a relationship – and you call it cheating?

    • Maya says:

      Actually Laura Dern’s pa came out and said that Laura lied and BBT broke up with Laura months before getting together with Angelina.

      Plus people seem to forget that Laura cheated with BBT when he was married to his second wife. Laura also cheated with her now husband while he was still married. Infact than man’s child with that wife and Laura’s son are both same year same month.

      So please forgive us for not believing the words of two women Jennifer & Laura who are serial homewreckers.

    • Natasha says:

      Dern was exposed as a liar by her publicist. Dern and BBT had broken up before he got with Angie. Just because a LIE is ‘well publicized’ doesn’t make it true. Those who take the time to get the facts, not lies from tabloids, will know that she had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Dern and BBT. The irony of course, is that Dern was pregnant with Harper’s baby, at the same time his wife was pregnant with his baby. So, as they say….consider the source.

    • Josephina says:

      At first, Laura Dern foolishly implied that Angelina was at fault for BBT’s lack of interest in her. After all, why would BBT leave such a blonde bombshell? Dern did not want to look Karma in the face and succomb to the fact the BBT was cheating on his then wife with her. BBT had a relationship with her but did not want to marry her. (That bites, huh?) BBT broke it off but Laura was not finished trying to get BBT down the alter. (Please read BBT’s ex-wife’s comments about Laura Dern.) When Laura’s friend Aniston got dumped by Brad and later learned of Brad’s love interest in Angelina, Laura could not wait at the chance to resurrect her jealousy and scorned disposition.

      A very quick fast forward to Karma visiting again when Laura Dern has ANOTHER relationship with a married man, singer Ben Harper. SHE GETS PREGNANT AT THE SAME TIME HIS WIFE IS PREGNANT. This time around she gets married, only now to be divorced. #Karma##Postmanalwaysringstwice.

      It is Aniston as well as Aniston’s friends who have wrecked homes: Chelsea Handler, Laura Dern, Courtney Cox, Sheryl Crow. This is the company that she keeps.

      • norah says:

        the thing with jennifer is that there are so many women around her age who can do cute and elegant and stylish – but she is firmly stuck in i am still 20 look so i am cute which doesnt suit her at all. She doesnt have the body of a 20 year nor the savvy in choosing her clothes which have been really boring throughout. It would be nice for her to actually grow up not only for herself but also to look more professional imo.

    • Janet says:

      “Cute as a button”? At age 45? Something is radically wrong with that picture. You make her sound as is she would be wearing Mary Janes and a pinafore.

    Years ago Angie stated she would be willing to meet with Jennifer.If it hasn’t happened than that is on Jennifer.Jennifer made a choice to not walk the RC at 2009 Oscars.
    BTW Angie is friends with her ex husbands
    They attend her premiers .She wrote the foreword to BBT’s book.
    I don’t know if Jennifer is friends with any of her exes ( Vince Vaughn,Mayer,Pitt).
    Maybe Jen can take a pic with Justin’s ex GF if she is still in NYC.

    • DenisePayne says:

      Just a clarification Kim1, 2009, the year both Brad and Angelina were nominated for Best Actor/Actress, was the year there WAS NO red carpet for ‘presenters.’ Aniston couldn’t have walked the red carpet with Mayer if she’d wanted to. …and you know she wanted to.

      I’m pretty sure one of the reasons it was done (oddly enough only that year) was due to the Aniston tabloid circus that year and not wanting Aniston’s “Showdown!!” hijinks to distract and detract from the other nominees – it was really an unfair awful stalking scenario and shouldn’t have been tolerated.

  25. Lee says:

    I always wondered what she did with all her money. Now I know, she’s been saving up for her Oscar campaign. All these promo appearances, Q&As, etc…can’t be cheap. All that Smartwater, aveno etc..$$ are getting some mileage

    Wow, this thread descended into full-fledged crazy rather quickly now didn’t it?

    • MrsB says:

      There are some rather um *intense* fans on either side.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      It always does and it’s really aggravating. Yet I continue to read through the craziness. Must be a side effect of my profession.

      • DenisePayne says:

        What’s “crazy?” Seems people are telling you the way it is, re PR machinations and facts and you just don’t want to hear it. Do people coddle and enable kimye like this? It’s baffling to me the lengths women go to, to protect her from perceived threats..i can only presume it’s because her very attainable image (mediocre/average) is something they identify with. If she’s perceived wronged by a beautiful man or beautiful woman their instinct is to side with her….out of envy and bitterness at her imagined (key word IMAGINED) rival. They ARE her. To call her out is to call them out.

      • Falkor says:

        Mostly the rabid fervor is what’s crazy, Denise.

    I can’t be that invested in this triangle even as a die hard Angelina fan. In Touch is trash, that is all.

    Just wow. Do people not have jobs? I literally do not even have time to read all of this, let alone write 3 or 4 or 5 (or more) posts about it. Yeesh. Maybe get a hobby? I mean, a different one?

    • DenisePayne says:

      KT, I guess I missed you in the almost 800 post strong Cumberbatch engagement thread telling those ladies to cool it and get new hobbies, eh? It’s great you’ll do anything for ‘poor Jen,’ since she sooo needs your continued protection and support. How sweet. You know she wouldn’t pour her Marguerita on you if u were smoldering right in front of her, right?

      what, no time for a War and Peace length diatribe (credit to Lahdidahbaby)?

    Another planted story to promote Cake oscar buzz. The people who read the article will never actually see the movie and just take it at face value. Another hit at AJ as a bully marriage wrecker and JA as wronged, strong woman. I think it hurts AJ because she wants to be taken seriously by both the industry and in her humanitarian work and these tabloids must be a pain in the butt.

    So who is left to benefit? She may not plant the stories herself but she knows because she follows her own media and pays the big fat PR bill. So even though she looks like the pathetic loser it promotes what she needs promoted and digs at “rivals”.

    That is why I dislike JA. I hate these desperate public image games. I hope she is called on it one day.

  30. JenniferJustice says:

    All this build-up for a “Cake” Oscar could bite them in the arse. If they don’t get an award for this movie, they’re going to look stupid.

    • Lady D says:

      …or there is dead silence when she wins and goes onstage to collect.

      • DenisePayne says:

        Is this what happens when her delusional supporters give up on the ‘Jen will be such a better mother than Angelina,’ baby dream? Do they just start fantasizing about Oscar?

        Is Aniston’s movie (that she bought herself that no one raved about or purchased AT TIFF) and her hastily put together NYC “premiere” (exact same night as Angelina’s) akin to her lovingly and psychotically always touching/concealing her abdomen?

        I say yah.

      • DenisePayne says:

        …..aaaaaand – (pause) – then Lady D woke up.

      • Janet says:

        Or best yet: as Lady D said, there is an initial dead silence, followed by a few loud guffaws, and then the place explodes with a ceiling-busting roar of laughter, and the presenter is laughing so hard he can barely hand the statuette to Aniston while he collapses across the podium, and Aniston snatches the statuette and stumbles back to her front row seat and falls into her chair, heaving with sobs, when she recognizes Justin is laughing as loudly as anybody there.

      • Lady D says:

        Puzzled by what you are saying in your post Denise. I’m a proud badge wearing brangeloonie. I don’t despise JA, but I don’t have any use for her either.

  31. LaurieH says:

    First of all, actors don’t get to pick and choose when and where they premiere and promote their films…so if two actors happen to be in the same place at the same time for such premieres or promotions, that’s just happenstance. Nothing more to it than that.

    After 10 years, I am sure Jennifer is over the whole Angelina thing. Sure, she may look back on it as a raw deal or fee bitter about it, but if you asked her if she’s want Mr. Sensitivity Chip Missing back, she’d emphatically say no. Likewise, I am sure Angelina doesn’t waste any time thinking about it. Sure, she may look back on it and feel a tinge of guilt (or not) or perhaps has a miniscule amount of insecurity in the back of her mind inre how Brad feels about his ex, but these are all natural feelings that everyone has and I am sure Angelina gives little time and thought to them. Brad, it seems, is kind of a doofus. The Vanity Fair cover really was an insensitive move and some of the thoughtless comments he’s made over the years seemed geared more toward pacifying Angelina’s insecurities than to deliberately hurt Jennifer – but again, I think 99% of this so-called “triangle” is a tabloid fantasy fabricated to sell magazines.

    I’d think and hope all three have moved on with their lives and are happier for it.

    • maddelina says:

      Millions of people divorce every year and ten years later have moved on. My guess is the triangle people have too. Clearly some people on here have not.

      • Josephina says:

        Had Aniston remained quiet about her insecure and neurotic thoughts regarding Brad AFTER a divorce is already in motion and hence finalized… we the public would not have known about her crying, screaming at the ocean, saving voicemails from her husband, etc.. The info that I am referring to DID NOT COME FROM TABLOID.

        It came out of Aniston in interviews. She should have been talking about her acting career.

    • Maya says:

      If Jennifer really felt pain or bitterness then she would never have the exact same thing to another woman. She cheated with Justin for months while he was in a 14 year relationship. This was confirmed by Justin’s close friend, Heidi’s mother and even Jennifer herself when she introduced Justin as her boyfriend 5 months before Heidi dumped him.

      As for the Mr sensitivity chip missing – oh please Jennifer had to audacity to cry fake tears because Brad did a photoshot for a magazine to promote a movie 5 months after they have officially seperated. All this fake crying while Jennifer was sleeping with Vince Vaugh before Brad went after Angelina.

      If someone is missing a sensitivity chip then it’s Jennifer herself. She released pictures of her being lovey dovey with Justin 1 week after Heidi moved out.

      Any reply to that? I thought not. This is what I dislike most about Jennifer and her fans – the hypocrisy.

      • LaurieH says:

        I am not a fan of Jennifer. Or Brad. Or Angelina. Actually, I take that back – I am rather a fan of Angelina and her selfless humanitarian work. And yes, you raise a good point: she did break up a 14 year relationship. But that still doesn’t mean she doesn’t feel bitter. In fact, it may have made her feel justified in doing the same thing to someone else (quite twisted, really). I always thought Brad and Jennifer were an odd pair; whereas Brad and Angelina seem like a good match.

      • norah says:

        i think more than anything else was this – she spent the years after her divorce whining to all the magazines abt brad and angelina etc and then used her friends to thrash talk not only aj and bp but even their kids.chelsea handler – that sort of person she hangs around with shows the kind of person ja really must be.any decent person wd have stopped ch from attacking the kids but she didnt.

    • Paige says:

      @Laurie H I’m pretty sure all three of them have moved on and from this post I feel like I’m reading someone hasn’t moved on because it seems pretty bias towards Brad, Angelina, and how their relationship started.

    • Nasha says:

      Brad hasn’t done a Vanity Fair cover. Jennifer did though, you may be getting him confused with her. And he has not made any thoughtless comments about Jennifer. But Jennifer has, for 10 years, in almost every interview she has done, even saying how her 30s sucked etc. Perhaps you conveniently missed all that, because everything you criticize Brad for, Jen did, not him.

    • Josephina says:

      Brad and Jennifer were not a golden couple. It was a mirage and their marriage was brief and without children. I bring up children because it is neon clear that Brad wanted and now has children. Clearly that marriage meant a hell a lot more to Jennifer than it did to Brad.

      Jen is exactly the same person she was back in 1998. Jen references her marriage to Brad as if it the sole axis in her life. That is the narrative that she has been living.

      True, Brad does not pay any homage to the time he spent with Jen. He told the world it was a dead end for him. He did something about his quality of life. He left.

      A lot of his film accomplishments and personal growth occurred while NOT being in a relationship with Aniston.

      It sucks but it is the truth.

  32. Janet says:

    “…she is ready to confront the power couple who wed this summer in France with their six children in attendance, earning them the People cover…. Though it’s claimed the Friends star wants the confrontation, she is allegedly worried. ‘She is nervous to the point of being sick over the prospect of coming face-to-face with Brad and Angie,’ said the source. ‘But she has waited a decade for this.’”

    This story is beyond ridiculous. Confront them how? Start screaming at the top of her lungs “Bitch, you stole my man!”? They make it sound as if Aniston is planning to launch an all-out attack on the red carpet. GMAFB. Aniston doesn’t even exist for either Brad or Angie, and this is precisely what bothers her so much. They are going about their busy and successful personal and professional lives, and left her floundering in the dust.

  33. KatyD says:

    I really wish someone working at the tabloids would tell us if this BS comes from the actors’ PR people. It’s time they are exposed for their shenanigans. I remember Janice Min, a former tabloid editor, said that it did come from the actor’s PR but she was vague about it.

    I do believe that Aniston did egg it on a bit, like that People magazine interview she did, which was titled, “Jennifer: 5 years after Brad, healthy, happy and 40.” Bringing up his name 5 years later is pretty tacky. People mag is the celebrity go-to mouthpiece so I don’t believe she didn’t know about it or wasn’t doing it on purpose. Right now, so much of the Oscar buzz for Aniston is coming from People mag–they are clearly bought and paid for. Also, the Chelsea Handler insults hit too close to home.

    That being said, all this was ahile ago. The fact that these stories are still happening is mind-blowing. These people need to be stopped. There needs to be an investigation of where these stories come from and some sort of “cease and desist” policy for the sake of public sanity. It’s an important matter–someone needs to make it happen. 🙂

    • pwal says:

      It wouldn’t surprise me if all of this self-generated ‘Oscar buzz’ is in reaction to the inevitable 10 years later status report articles/blogs that’s in the pipeline. Aniston fans won’t admit it, but she did piss away much of the last 10 years, while you know who were very productive. An awards season coup would simulate actual career progress versus actually working consistently for it.

  34. Marianne says:

    These stories just keep getting lamer and lamer. I really don’t think either one of them gives a flipping sh** about the other. They’re never going to be besties but its not like they’re coming up with an evil plan to ruin the other either. They’re both successful, they’re both potential nominees, they seem pretty happy with their love lives…I just dont see the need for either one of them to be catty 10 years later.

    • I wish there’d be stories about how they were jealous professionally–and all actors/actresses, not just these two. In the world of Hollywood, nothing matters so much as work. Not ‘bitch stole my man!’ BUT ‘bitch stole my role!’….haha. That gossip would be a lot more legit.

  37. TC says:

    I know the expectation is that Aniston will be nommed for a GG, but I really don’t see that happening. If there’s an award nomination for her this year, it’s more than likely an Independent Spirit Award nom. And yes the GGs are the outlier, but I”m just not seeing it for this.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      From what I understand from a friend who saw the film, Jennifer Aniston was pretty good, but she wasn’t able to transcend the crappy script. Not sure she’ll garner an award for a lackluster film. You kind of have to be able to really rise above a trite script to get recognized and apparently, that didn’t happen. I think she’s a capable enough actress, I just don’t know if she has that “extra” that will propel her into being taken more seriously. I think the ship sailed and took her chances along with it when she was ensconced in her rom com niche.

      • That’s what I was expecting, from the reviews I read. She was good/better than usual, but the movie itself was horrible.

        She seriously needs to direct and produce. Take a few smaller roles, and put all of your energy into being behind the camera….I think that would be best for her. I thought she did a good job with that ‘Five’ short she did (it’s on netflix).

  38. Claudia says:

    I just came here to register my appreciation for this imaginary fued. It always solicits the funniest comment wars between the pro-Angis and pro-Anistons. Why do people care? Lololololol

    On a more serious note, the fued insofar as it exists in the media, is mysoginistic. Brad is presented as the least culpable party in it all.

  39. birch says:

    Oh the tabloids have such a silly idea about how divorced people behave or at least they pretend to have a silly idea. Any time an actress who is divorced turns up somewhere looking good it’s always her “revenge bod”. I’m divorced and my ex cheated on me but the notion that a woman in my situation views her entire remaining life through the prism of how and what her ex thinks is utter nonsense. I suppose it will be a bit more awkward for those people concerned here for all the scrutiny their meeting will garner but all told, they a bit too far removed from their junior high days for this to be a big deal, I imagine.

  40. deehunny says:

    Completely Unrelated: Did anyone else LOL hard at corner shot at KimK where it says, “nude photos scandal; the sick reason she did it!”

    Apparently it boosted the crap out of her sex tape sales– Ray J alone made $50,000 off of it in one week last week.

    I’m not sure making money is “sick.” It is still paying her bills.

    havent we all been through this before – showdown at 2009 oscars – since then what? nothing.bp and aj have moved on – built a life and a very successful career personally and professionally nothing to do with jennifer – who is free to pretend that she can actually act etc and be with her fiance who is away in new york half the time. just leave them all alone. the only headlines is there created by the gossip mags who think that beating this dead horse is going to help raise headlines .it doesnt last long –
