'09
We officially have a new uncool Bermuda Triangle! For the new one, we still have player named “Jennifer Aniston” and a player named “Bradley” (Cooper). The new player is none other than Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger. I’m sure everyone remembers what went down, but just a quick recap: Jen went on a date with Bradley Cooper (Bradifer 2.0!), who then claimed they were just friends (he said it in French too!), and then he went on a date with Renee Zellweger (just 12 days later!), and then the sh-t hit the fan (“Jen’s Love Implosion”) Last week we were regaled with stories of What Went Wrong between Jen and Bradley – we heard neediness, relationship timelines, and some mutterings about Lake Bell and “don’t hate the player, hate the game, ladies”. I’m making that last one up. Although it would be funny if Bradley said that.
So Star’s story this week is “Renee Steals Jen’s Man”. Epic, right? Perhaps it should be “Renee and Jen Try To Steal Lake Bell’s Man”. Or perhaps “How Do You ‘Steal’ A Man, Anyway?” This story is told more from a pro-Renee point of view, as opposed to the version yesterday that had a friend of Jen’s calling Renee “Needy Edie”. Although the “Needy Edie” motif still exists in this version:
“Renee is totally into Bradley,” a source close to the actress tells Star. “Behind the scenes, she’s really throwing herself at him.”
Just 12 days after [Bradley and Jennifer’s date], Renee got her own intimate alone time with the star of The Hangover at another Italian restaurant.
“They were really comfortable with each other,” says a restaurant employee, who noted Bradley, 34, acted the perfect gentleman and pulled out Renee’s chair for her. “She was so happy – they were talking and smiling the entire time. It certainly looked like a date.”
Keeping their night out a secret from Jennifer Aniston wasn’t a top priority for Bradley and Renee. After spending more than two hours openly flirting with each other, the two headed outside to waiting photographers.
“We could have snuck them out through the downstairs,” the restaurant employee tells Star. “But they weren’t really concerned about privacy.”
Word of the date getting out is all just part of Renee’s plan. She’s felt a special connection with Bradley since they started filming the upcoming thriller Case 39.
“It was obvious from the moment she met him. And since Bradley’s on the fence and playing it cool with Jen, Renee saw her chance and took it. She doesn’t care if Jen knows about their date, because she’s sure Bradley is all hers now!”
But even casual observers note that Bradley could be toying with both Renee and Jennifer and dating on his own terms.
“He was so charming,” says one diner who witnessed Bradley and Renee. “I could see why these women are falling for him. But I think they should be careful, because he obviously has great game.”
Jennifer’s making it known she does too! “Jen is the better match for Bradley, but she’s not going to cry into her pillow over him,” says a friend. “She just thinks Bradley’s not ready for something serious yet. She says when he is, he’ll be with her.”
But Renee won’t go down without a fight! “She’s dying to get married and have a baby, and she believes Bradley is the right guy,” insists the source. “She’s determined to keep him for herself!”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, July 20 2009]
I just enjoyed this story so much. It’s like Star’s trying to make the case that both women feel very confident in their “triumph” over the other one. Renee’s all “I totally stole him from you, Jennifer! Cry on a pillow!” and Jen’s like “I didn’t want him in the first place, but he’ll come back to me when he’s tired of bones, sister!”
At first a felt badly for Bradley because I thought he was a hard-working guy experiencing his first brush with career success, and he might be getting manipulated by some very experienced public relations wheelers and dealers. Now I’m just starting to think that Bradley’s going for the one-two punch of modern Hollywood careerism – he’s got the big hit movie, so now he’s going for the tabloid drama. Anything to be a household name.

Team Renee.
Of course, she doesn’t stay with a guy long enough for him to learn to spell her last name. Bradley will be toast by Wednesday. Just ask Jim Carrey, Clooney or Chesney.
She’s the best player in this gamer, bar none.

And this is why tabloids are stupid. I read them sometimes for a laugh but it’s pathetic how they contradict their own headlines a week later. A couple of weeks ago Star said Jennifer and Pitt were back together and in love. I think it was Star who said Angelina was 4 months pregnant a couple of months ago. Then when things don’t pan out, they pretend they never ran the stories.

I don’t know if I believe this to be true, BUT if it is? it’s so pathetic when two women fight over the same man. Screw him! Find a guy who wants you and only you. Less “team this” or “team that” and more unification! Women need to stick together! Otherwise we validate men’s treatment of us as sex objects and options.

Beth:
I think you are right.But there is a tacit agreement between tabloids and readers. They pretend to check their stories and we pretend to believe them.This way, tabloids run their business and give reporters a job, stars get fame and free publicity and we have a good laugh before turning the page or buying a real newspaper to read about wars, economical crisis or a military coup.
So, just relax and have some fun. I bet both Renne & Jen are!

All of this is so silly. I’ll bet none of it is true. Jen went to dinner with him (they were in a movie together – bet they’re friends). Renee went to dinner with him (she’s currently making a movie with him – bet they’re friends). That’s probably all. Bet he and Lake Bell are dating or maybe he is actually playing the field. People do go out on dates here and there without getting married in the first week without it being a big scandal. But since he’s getting all of this new attention it would kinda be silly of him to settle down right now. He might not even have time for a gf.
Also, I still can’t get his role of a being a royal d*ck in Wedding Crashers out of my head. That’s what I think of when I think of him. Maybe I should watch something else he’s in…

LOVE how Renee is stealing Aniston’s PR stunt right from under her nose. Who will Aniston try to date next to help her career? Gerard Butler looks like the next victim. How long before stories about Gerard and Bradley fighting it over Jen from her pr?Wonders never cease. I’m sure her dumb fans will eat it up like ice cream.

Team Renee. She seems like much less of a fame addict than leatherskin. Renee takes time off from the spotlight every now and then. Aniston would probably overdose w/out the spotlight.

Oh puh-leeeze. Whatever happens, Bradley wins. He’s playing them both against each other. I think he’ll take Zellweger over Aniston, though. Guys seem to avoid poor Jennifer like the plague. Zellweger doesn’t have that air of desperation about her. Anyway, this one will be a lot of fun to watch.

I was gonna leave this one alone due to it’s pure inanity and probable complete fabrication but I really must interject.
Can we please let the “poor, desperate Jen” rhetoric go? She doesn’t say she feels sorry for herself. Her behavior does not indicate desperation. All she does is date and break up like everyone else in the world but somehow she’s desperate because…?

Renee is most lovely. I think she and Bradley both have undergrad English degrees — they just might be a very good couple.
As for Jennifer, I honestly think they went to dinner as friends. The probably both considered whether or not a romance might work, but obviously their chemistry is more friendly.
Anyway, Jen’s with Gerard Butler working on a film. I doubt her mind is on any other man right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re having makeout sessions (without sex, of course — she’ll make him beg for it).

Why oh why do they even bother date an actor?
They need to find a guy who wouldn’t use them for publicity.
There are so many guys who would love to date a successful actress.
Why are they even wasting their time with these guys?

Both women may have great careers, but they suck at relationships. Jennifer is becoming as absurd as Cameron Diaz, and she’s like the Hollywood bike. Renee is equally as pathetic.
I bet that if these women had relationships with men outside of Hollywood they’d be happy, but they want to have partners that are A-list men and the more they chase that illusion, the more unhappy they’ll be.
Come on Jennifer, why don’t you just date a man outside of the film industry? Does he have to be a pampered actor? But these women are pampered actresses. Which real man would put up with their self-indulgent crap?

I think it’s more comfortable for any man to put up with Renee than Aniston at this stage.
Wether true or perceiced Aniston always come into a relationship with more bagagge, more media scrutiny. It’s always a menage a trois with Brad shadow presence and an inevitable competion between him and the new man, wether orchastrated or not by her PR, the fans or the media. It put too much pressure on both of them.
At least with Renee, the man knows that he comes into the relationship without having to compete with the powerful shadow of an ex husband. It’s more healthy as he has more space and freedom to grow into a healthier relationship.
Plus not having belitteling herself by chasing around Europe Perez Hilton leftovers makes her win major points as far as i am concern.

Believe it or not, kids, but there are douchebags in every line of work.
The film industry attracts a certain type of douchebag, yes, but finding a good man is a hard thing to do as most of them are pretty useless.
Going outside of the film industry would likely lead to either a sugar mama situation or some dude who feels like he isn’t taking charge in the relationship. He’d be known as Mr. Jennifer Aniston and most men don’t want that kind of relationship and the ones who do are either gold diggers or just lazy.
Unless Jennifer goes out with some millionaire or billionaire (in which case some folks would still say she was being superficial, why doesn’t she date a “normal” guy, blah blah blah), then she’s got few options outside of her own profession.
Besides, dates are easy to find when they are within your agency or another agency that’s willing to hook you up.

Some facts: You plainly know nothing about Renee Zellweger if you think she’s a famewhore. ‘Some facts’ indeed.
And it’s ‘they’re’ not ‘their’. I wouldn’t normally point this out but I’m making an exception for you since you’re so ill-informed.

i don’t think a famous celebrity can date anyone besides an fellow actor… can you imagine how star struck their dates would be otherwise? yikes!

So, these actresses’ only options are to date other actors? What laughable bs. Lots of actors have wonderful, successful relationships w/non-actors. The reason some actresses (of the fake tan and super ego) won’t do so is because dating a fellow actor equals major PR points and keeps them in the public eye. It’s the Nicole Kidman effect and it works.

A successful businessman, a doctor, a lawyer, a professor, an engineer- all of them could be a great fit with any successful woman.
They would have about a gazillion more chances of settling down and finding a good relationship, had they dated any of these guys.
Actors might feel threatened by their success or see it as a chance to gain some PR capital.
These women are throwing their (private) lives away for the sake of dating a star, instead of looking for a real relationship that stands a chance to last.
Cameron Diaz made mistakes and picked the worng men. That was her problem.
Nicole was probably really in love with Tom, back then. Don’t forget she was very young, and he was this exciting “man of her dreams”.
They were both younger then. It’s not like Katie Holmes who wanted a sugar daddy who would help her career and give her a gigantic spending account, and was willing to overlook his age or the fact she doesn’t know or love him.

I AM SO SICK OF JENNIFER ANISTON. SHE IS NOT A GOOD ACTRESS. SHE WAS NOT A GOOD WIFE. IF SHE WANTED BRAD TO STAY AT HOME, SHE SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM SOME BABIES INSTEAD OF PLAYING RACHEL UNTIL SHE’S TOO LONG IN THE TOOTH. WHICH IS NOW. ANYONE THAT CONSUMED WITH HER BODY IS SICK. HEARD OF ANY CHARITIES OR GOOD CAUSES SHE’S WORKED ON LATELY? GIVE IT UP JENNIFER. YOUR TIME IS OVER.

If I was “Bradley” Cooper, I would be frightened that these women feel this way about me & that they are jumping the gun, all the while I just want ‘some’. Renee’s talking about marriage & a kid with him (her beginning to a family life) – that’s all a bit much since they just started dating & on the flip side when he wants something serious he’ll settle down with Jen, they’re two grown women with the same hopes & dreams for a man that hasn’t even shown more interest than just a nice date & “good”night. A guy that dates more than one woman is not leaving his options open, he’s just not that into you. (maybe)

Team Jen- Jen, I love you and all your movies. However, stop dating hollywood guys. While you are in NYC why dont you go to some Millionaire fund raiser and find some rich hedge fund guy, Prince, CEO of something. Marry a Millionaire Banker or Marry into some Rich Family.Forget these Hollywood men. You know most of them are gay anyway, so just find something else. You are smart and stunning and you deserve more.

Renee is desperate too, do not forget she was chasing musicians at one point she will about to Marry Jack White and then Jack married a Super model after they broke up. Nicole introduced her to her boyfriends friend, the country singer. Then she married the Country singer, whom she as in love with but he turned out to be Bi(or gay depending if you think in terms of glass half full or glass half empty) and she had an annulment where she sighted fraud.Like all women her age, all her friends are married with kids and she needs to get married and have kids immediately. Although, she has been traumatised by hooking up with a Fake Heterosexual men so, she wont be so stupid next time. Trust me she has dated lots of Bi Guys. Then again she might decide to play along for her HW media or stay single(Mr Right Now) and look for Mr Right(4Ever).
