Here are some more photos of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux in NYC yesterday. We had some photos of them from Sunday (which we discussed yesterday) too. In these photos, Jennifer and Justin made a trip to “the Interior Design Building to shop at O’Brien New York.” Then the photos of Justin solo are from later on in the day, I guess, and according to Fame/Flynet, “Justin Theroux returning to his apartment in New York City…His fiancée Jennifer Aniston rode along with him but dropped him off a block away from his apt.” LOL. Was Jennifer like, “Dude, get out of the car and walk the rest of the way”? Because if that had happened with Brad and Angelina, it would be getting the full tabloid treatment. “Brad abandons Angelina in traffic, Brad runs home with tears streaming down his face after The Villainess Jolie yells at him!”

Can we talk about how Jennifer’s once-casual-cute beach style is turning very old-lady-ish lately? It’s too much – too many layers, too much unnecessary bulk. I guess it’s on the cool-ish side in Manhattan this week (low 60s), but why the super-casual sandals WITH the bulky sweater?

As for why JustJen is currently in New York, I have no idea. I don’t think they’re working, although I guess Jennifer might have some stuff to do with Living Proof. I think they’re really just hanging out, going out to eat, going shopping, spending time with friends and going to see some shows. People Magazine has an exhaustive story about their weekend activities here – they browsed swimsuits at Barney’s, Jennifer went to Bette Midler’s show I’ll Eat You Last, etc. Oh, and People’s sources note that Jennifer was boozing it up with martinis, so seriously, she’s NOT PREGNANT.

PS… somebody got some shiny new boots! I’m glad. I was so tired of those scruffy things he wore with everything. I bet Jennifer was tired of it too.

Here are some photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston walking around NYC yesterday. According to Pacific Coast News, they went shopping at Barney’s (no bags?) and then went to dinner at Fred’s, then they walked “back” on Madison Avenue. I wonder where they’re staying? Allegedly, Justin kept the New York apartment he had with Heidi Bivens (he made Heidi leave the place after nine years together), but it seems that whenever Jennifer is in town, they stay in hotels and not his place.

As for Jennifer’s baggy, figure-covering clothes… do we still have to play the “is she pregnant?” game? She’s not pregnant. The only real question I have is “Why does she insist on wearing oversized layers when she works so hard on her yoga body?” I’ll admit it – if I had a rock-hard yoga body, I would wander around in jeggings and a tank top. Her whole look is very layered, very Johnny Depp, I’m just sayin’. As for Justin’s style… never trust a man in skinny jeans. NEVER.

Page Six had this weird little item about Justin today – it’s so random:

Justin Theroux unintentionally crashed a birthday party Friday night. The actor was spotted at a corner table during a private birthday party at the rooftop of the Jane Hotel. Spies said he was with two male friends who had brought two girls, but his fiancée, Jennifer Aniston, was not in sight.

“He seemed to be reserved and low-key,” says a spy. We’re told someone had booked the space for their birthday, but staff let Theroux and his group in anyway.

[From Page Six]

Is there a side-eye in there that I’m missing? Is it supposed to be interesting that Justin was out with some friends and Jennifer wasn’t there? I mean, if you told me that there was some undercover drama in JustJen’s relationship, I would believe you, but I don’t take this story as evidence of the drama.

PS… Is it just me or does Jennifer’s diamond ALWAYS look cloudy? I’m starting to wonder if it’s quartz.

This week’s Star Magazine cover story is amazing! I love it, even though I don’t believe most of the information in here. The basic gist is that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s engagement is on the rocks… because she still has feelings for Gerard Butler! But of course there’s more to it than that. The first part of the story is just an incident that probably never happened – Justin and Jennifer were partying at the Soho House in West Hollywood at the end of April. They looked miserable… until Gerard Butler came strutting in, and then Jen turned into a Butler fan-girl all of a sudden. Justin was visibly annoyed, so he pulled out his iPad Mini and started ignoring Gerard and Jennifer. Then after Jennifer and Gerard completely ignored him, Justin got up and started talking to other people and he and Jennifer avoided each other the rest of the evening. Then what happened? Tears and betrayal!!

When Jennifer and Justin reunited later that night, “Justin was furious. He called Jen selfish and said he’d felt like a third wheel while she flirted with Gerard all night. Jen broke down in tears. When they left, she had mascara running down her face.”

Sources say the friction between them has been building for some time. After months of fighting about everything from their careers to their families to their wedding, the couple must have finally reached their breaking point, because following the blowup, Jen and Justin called off their nuptials.

“Jen and Justin were so happy for a few weeks after getting engaged, but soon Justin got extremely annoyed with her. All she talked about was planning the wedding around her schedule, without even asking what his looked like. She even told Justin that he needed to schedule his projects around hers! Justin is a very driven guy and he won’t change his work or personal engagement for anyone, including Jen.” So, because of what he sees as Jen’s lack of respect for his career, Justin has refused to set a wedding date.

When vacationing in Mexico over Christmas, “Justin told Jen that he was seriously considering a role in a movie that would be filming later this year, and she freaked out and told him he needs to OK all his projects with her. Justin flipped out and told her that he has a career too, and there’s no way he’s giving it up for her.”

“Justin told her she’d better knock her ego down a couple of notches or he’ll never marry her.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Star goes on to say that poor Jen never talks back to Justin when he’s in one of his bitchy moods, although she did passive-aggressively go out on a friendly “dinner” (re: beej) with Gerard. Allegedly. While I wouldn’t put it past Justin to be a smack-talking tool, and I wouldn’t put it past Jennifer to demand that Justin cater to her every whim, I’m not sure about this larger theme of “Justin is going to remain independent, his career means everything to him.” He’s barely lifted a finger since he got with Jennifer. He has no film projects coming up at all, unless you count the barely-confirmed sequel to… Zoolander. Eh.

Methinks Justin likes having a sugar-mama and whatever Jennifer wants is fine with him as long as she pays the bills. For what it’s worth, Gossip Cop spoke to “a source close to Theroux” who said the story is “false”. Oh, and Gossip Cop also says that Jennifer and Gerard Butler never dated, which is funny because her publicist spent a lot of time and money trying to convince people that some kind of romantic relationship happened. Oh, well.

Shortly after Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux stunned the world by announcing their engagement (the same weekend the tabloids claimed Brangelina were going to wed in France), the tabloids had fun with whether or not Jennifer would make Justin sign a prenup. While Justin has some money saved – I would estimate his net worth to probably be seven figures – Jennifer is one of the wealthiest women in Hollywood, with an estimated net worth of $120 million, give or take. I don’t think anybody would hold it against Jennifer to be smart about her assets and get an ironclad prenup, which is what the tabloids initially claimed. But now they’re saying Jennifer doesn’t think a prenup is romantic.

Jennifer Aniston must really be head over heels in love with her soon-to-be husband, Justin Theroux, because she’s reportedly willing to put her fortune on the line by nixing Justin’s gracious offer to sign a prenuptial agreement!

“Jen’s absolutely adamant about not having a prenup,” a source close to Jennifer told OK! magazine. “She told several friends: ‘I’m choosing love, not money. And people are just going to have to deal with it.’” Good for you, Jen!

The 44-year-old actress’ romantic decision is a definite risk, one that could reportedly cost her about $150 million if she and Justin end up getting divorced. But she’s so in love that a prenup just seems insulting. “I couldn’t be in a relationship without equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness, and humor,” Jen told OK.

Understandably, Jennifer’s friends are reportedly concerned about her all-in attitude. “It’s a sweet and romantic thing to do,” the source adds. “But a number of friends are desperately worried her decision could come back to haunt her one day.” Jen was so badly hurt when Brad Pitt left her, it makes sense that her friends are extremely protective of her.

But reportedly Jen won’t hear it — “Everything is going so well between Jen and Justin right now, she doesn’t want to taint the romance,” the source says. Oh, to be in love.

[From Hollywood Life]

Did anyone else giggle at “taint the romance”? No? Just me? OK, I have the sense of humor of a 13-year-old boy. TAINT. Sorry. Anyway, there was a story last year that I actually believed – that Jennifer was so in love with her artist fiancé that she was putting him in charge of all of her business and career decisions. They were going to make ART together. They were going to be artists who share everything. I’m starting to wonder if that’s what we’re seeing. Then again, this story does originate in OK! Magazine, so it’s probably BS.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Here are some assorted photos of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. They were photographed last week in a car (Justin was driving) and then Justin was photographed solo last week, heading into a “meeting” (with an overnight bag? Sketchy.). I think the pics of JustJen in the car are from their trip to an antique store to find some furnishings for their crazy Bel Air mansion. Remember when Jennifer went on a real estate binge in 2011-2012? She was buying, selling and renovating properties at a steady clip, which was weird because it seemed like they were just staying in hotels in whatever city they were in. Anyway, one of the properties that she held onto was the Bel Air estate, and they’ve been renovating and decorating it for about 14 months. Tell me if you think this “insider” is making a particularly pointed comment about it:

Call it Extreme Home Makeover: A-List Edition. Jennifer Aniston and fiance Justin Theroux are leaving no stone unturned, no detail unattended on their quest for interior design inspiration. In the past week alone, the couple have made not one but two trips to various upscale furniture stores in L.A., where they’re in the process of renovating an 8,500-square-foot Bel Air mansion.

On Thursday, March 27, the engaged pair were seen perusing the selection of antique wares at a shop in West Hollywood. Six days earlier, they hit up three other stores — Lee Stanton, Therien, and Ralf’s Antiques — in search of items for their not-so-humble abode. The couple’s $21 million pad (purchased by Jennifer last January) has four bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a swimming pool, and its own vineyard.

“They have changed it from top to bottom,” says another insider. “She loves Justin’s eye for design.”

A source tells Us Weekly the two were very friendly as they mulled over an array of 18th- and 19th-century “country antique” furniture. They were accompanied by their interior designers.

“They looked at the rustic pieces,” says a witness.

Aniston, 44, and her future husband, 41, have spent months looking for the perfect pieces to fill their sprawling new home. Last spring, during a visit to New York City, the actress picked out $20,000 worth of lights at B4 It Was Cool, a high-end vintage lighting store. And in October, she and Theroux met with designers at high-end Hollywood retailer Blackman Cruz, where they honed in on two brown, roomy leather chairs and an 18th-century armoire.

“She loves Justin’s eye for design.” Oh, Jenny. Never change! I didn’t even to sit back and think about what that comment was referencing – remember how much she hated Brad Pitt’s modernist/industrial design style and her quip about “finally having a comfortable couch” once they divorced? I guess Justin likes comfortable couches too! He’s all for “country antique” furniture from the 1800s. Which sounds really fussy to me, but maybe they’ll have an eclectic mix of styles and it will look really homey. I think Jennifer’s default style is more masculine anyway – she seems to love dark, womblike rooms, dark wood and everything looking like the 1970s.

We’ve sort of already heard a version of this story already, but I guess it’s worth repeating until we get some wedding news out of Jennifer Aniston. Sidenote: Do you think Jennifer and Justin Theroux will marry this weekend, or will they be accused of trying to steal the Easter Bunny’s thunder?!? Anyway, remember when Jennifer scored the cover of People Magazine right after the Oscars and everyone was like, “Huh? How was Jennifer the most notable person at the Oscars?!” In that People cover story, “sources” claimed that Jennifer was determined to change her name to Jennifer Theroux once she married Justin, just because she thinks “Jennifer Theroux” sounds “posh”. Well, now Life & Style reports that Jennifer is already demanding that her friends refer to her as “Mrs. Theroux”:

Jennifer Aniston and her fiancé, Justin Theroux, have remained tight-lipped on their impending springtime nuptials, but now Life & Style can reveal Jen has already told friends and family to address her as “Mrs. Theroux.”

A pal of Jen’s confirms to Life & Style, on newsstands now, “She’s trying it on for size, and she loves the sound of it!”

Jen is taking her man’s surname so seriously that she’s thinking about ditching her maiden name — forever.

“She wants a fresh start,” the insider dishes to Life & Style. “She couldn’t be happier. Jen simply wants the world to know just how madly in love she is with Justin Theroux.”

Justin popped the question last August, and while the couple haven’t announced a date, the insider tells Life &Style, “The wedding is soon, and Jen is very happy about it.”

[From Life & Style]

Eh. At this point, I think Justin’s PR-game-playing skills are probably equal to Jennifer’s PR game-skills, so maybe they’re a match made in heaven. I was going to say something about how he should look out (because his hipster credibility has left the building) or how she should look out (because he seems like a golddigger), but really… they’re perfect for each other. I look forward to seeing how she styles him for future red carpets. Somebody’s getting an eyebrow waxing!

Meanwhile, you know that film that Jennifer did in Connecticut? The one based on an Elmore Leonard book? Well, the director Daniel Schechter told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s the best work she’s ever done and she’ll blow people away. I don’t think people will see it coming, she’s so talented and I was crying while watching it.” For the love of…! It’s an ensemble film that has the exact plot of Ruthless People!

Justin Theroux was named one of Esquire’s Best Dressed Men of 2012. I know, I can’t believe it either. Most of the time he looks like the Leather Daddy from the Village People. He dresses like the most stereotypical hipster in the world, and considering that he’s over 40 now, there is an element of “Seriously, dude? Do you think you’re young enough to pull that off?” about his style. He even wears hipster skinny jean shorts in Cabo!!!!! But it’s true, he made the list. You can see Esquire’s full list here, and Justin is definitely on there. His inclusion on the list is funny enough, but Esquire published a first-person essay from Justin about his style and there’s just so much CHEESE. Here’s the essay, in full:

A friend once shared with me an idiotic maxim: Regardless of the season, a guy’s attire “should always be winter from the waist down: jeans and boots.” Chuckling, I dismissed the quote until it dawned on me that he had just described a hips-down uniform I’ve slavishly adhered to ever since I stopped wearing training pants and Grip ‘n’ Gos.

I’m the first to admit that jeans and combat boots might not always be the practical choice. Depending on whom you ask, denim was invented for either prospectors or cowboys, and seeing as I gave up wanting to be either of those things when I was six, why do I still leave my apartment ready to be dragged behind a horse or to operate a sluice box? Especially when it means dragging myself through a New York summer with a clambake happening in my boots and my body maintaining the same core temperature as fondue.

When I was a teenager, jeans and boots were a style choice that somehow made sense, but nowadays, like toenails or knuckle hair, they seem like some masculine evolutionary remnant that I could probably stand to lose. Sure, they’re useful in winter, but they become harder to justify at a pool party on the Fourth. I’ll frequently point to the fact that it’s safer to wear jeans when I take my motorcycle for a spin, but what’s my excuse the rest of the time?

Maybe it’s my long-standing aversion to almost anything loose fitting. “Breezy” clothing, for lack of a better word, just seems so untethered, whereas jeans and boots have a grounding effect. I’ve always had a kind of cheek-scratching awe (and, if I’m being honest, limited admiration) for guys who can amble easily down the streets of SoHo in a pair of loose linen drawstring pants and a pair of Havaianas. The same kind of guy who, if you told him you were stressed, might recommend that you “Just breathe, man.” (As if anyone could forget that particular component of not dying.) Often in summertime, these kinds of guys say things to me like, “Boy, I bet you’re toasty!” To which I usually offer up a shrug and “I’m good,” all the while looking like the guy whose face melted when the Nazis opened the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders.

In fairness to me, maybe my loyalty to these jeans and boots isn’t so much an endorsement of them as it is an expression of my distaste for anything else. Other options seem almost too grim to contemplate. Sweatpants? Cargo shorts? Light slacks?! Just the word slacks makes me anxious. And my boots might be functionally useless, but Teva sandals with Velcro fasteners? What’s the thing with guys who wear those? I may not be panning for gold anytime soon, but are they going on a hike under a waterfall?

I guess it goes without saying that we all make sacrifices when we choose what we wear, but the “winter from the waist down” mantra is not without merit. It’s just that between the months of May and September, I still have absolutely no idea what those merits are. The truth is, I’d feel naked without jeans and boots (a feeling that’s amplified when I’m actually naked), but in spite of the shin sweat that pours into my boots every summer, I’ll still likely be wearing them long after I’ve traded in my motorcycle for a Jazzy.

[From Esquire]

So he wears skinny jeans and Doc Martens in summer because he’s hardcore and he has a particularly hardcore “aversion” to wearing anything comfortable or season-appropriate. I wonder if Justin realizes that there’s a happy medium between “Leather Daddy” and “Linen-pants-wearing d-bag”. But maybe that’s just me – I’ve never been opposed to seeing men in shorts and sandals. I’ve lived in the South most of my life, and it gets HOT here. Seeing men in sandals is not the worst thing at all, and I don’t get why so many women are twitchy about it.

I guess the argument can be made… he’s 41 years old, he knows what he likes and he’s not going to change and why even bitch about it? I guess my problem with that is that he’s admitting how uncomfortable he is in the summer and he acts like he has no choice about it, lest he exchange his skinny jeans and Docs for a pair of cargo shorts and leather man-sandals from LL Bean and somehow become part of “The Establishment”. Earth to Justin: you’re engaged to Jennifer Aniston. You’re already “establishment”.

These photos have given me a major giggle fit. Justin Theroux was pap’d yesterday in New York City with his younger brother Sebastian. I didn’t know Justin had a little brother, so this is nice to know in general. But… LOL. OMG. Maybe they didn’t know they were going to be pap’d? Is that why they’re both dressed up as the leather-clad dude from the Village People? It’s ridiculous enough when Justin does it and he’s alone (or with Jennifer Aniston) – I mean, Justin comes close to pulling off the whole “I’m a mysterious, leather-clad hipster with a motorcycle, y’all” thing, but put him with his similarly dressed brother, and it just seems like matchy-matchy boyfriends, right?

I’m trying to see if I can find out anything about Sebastian. Like how he got so fabulous and if those Theroux eyebrows are totally hereditary! Sebastian was born in 1989, which would make him 23 or 24 right now. That’s a big age difference between Sebastian and Justin – Justin is 41 years old right now. That’s all I can discover. Please send me a tweet or email if you know more about Sebastian! I’d love to know what he does. My guess is… writer/actor/artist/photojournalist/waiter. Or “man purse designer/ironic professional bowler”.

Also: UK tabloids claim that Jennifer Aniston and Justin’s wedding will be in Hawaii, and that the whole thing will go down “within weeks”.

Jennifer Aniston is getting ready to tie the knot with fiance Justin Theroux, with the wedding slating to be in “weeks,” according to insiders. The couple are reported to be getting married shortly after wrapping her current movie project in Connecticut this week, with those close to the actress, who became engaged last summer, expecting a wedding imminently.

The couple, who got together two years ago, are reportedly finalising details for the big day, but are desperate to keep it a secret, so as to avoid the type of media circus caused by Jen’s first marriage to Brad Pitt.

“Jen is going to great lengths to keep the wedding details a secret so it does not become a huge media circus like her wedding to Brad,” a source told The Sun. “Just a few dozen of their closest family and friends will be there. But news is beginning to leak that the date is just a few weeks away now.”

The location, which is still unknown, is likely to be away from Hollywood in an attempt to protect the couple’s privacy.

“Jen would have liked to have done it at home in Los Angeles but it looks like that would be too difficult to keep quiet,” the insider revealed, “she doesn’t want to get married with photographers buzzing around her head in helicopters.”

The most likely location is reportedly Hawaii, with the couple both fans of the island paradise.

“Justin just adores Hawaii. It’s his favourite place in the world and he has a little house on the island of Kauai. His cottage is too small to host the wedding and Jen thinks it has too many memories of his old flames anyway.”

They explained: “But they both love the island and the idea of a laid back Hawaii wedding in the sunshine. The have looked at some expensive villas including one where they enjoyed a romantic holiday in 2011.”

It’s sure to be a celeb packed wedding wherever it is. Jen is known to be close to comedian Chelsea Handler, former Friends co-star Courteney Cox and the couple recently holidayed with Emily Blunt in Mexico. Jen’s Along Came Polly co-star Ben Stiller is reportedly being lined up as best man, the friend claimed especially as he has a home in Hawaii.

They added: “Ben Stiller, a big buddy of Justin’s, has a house over there too so that could be a surprise option.”

[From Entertainmentwise]

I had no idea that Justin owned property in Hawaii! That’s amazing. I would date a man JUST because he owned a home in Hawaii (looking at you, Barack Obama). Well, I think a Hawaii wedding sounds nice. It seems very trendy, but Hawaii is gorgeous and their guests would be able to enjoy themselves beyond the actual wedding, you know?

Yesterday, we discussed Jennifer Aniston’s People Magazine cover (“Wedding Countdown!”) and I only excerpted from People’s online story (“She conquered the Oscars, and now Jennifer Aniston is preparing for another very big day.”), but there’s more! Hollywood Life has more details straight from the Beautiful Jennifer Aniston’s publicist! There are some very interesting details in here – stuff about BABIES!

First comes love, then comes marriage — and that may be it for Jennifer Aniston, 44, and Justin Theroux, 41! The happy couple has finally set a date for their intimate wedding, but they feel that their love and their lives together is enough that kids may not even be in the cards.

Pregnancy reports have been swirling around Jen since she was married to Brad Pitt (with whom she was married from 2000 to 2005), but the actress and Aveeno spokesperson may not ever add “mommy” to her long resume.

“Jen never thought that kids automatically mean a happy life,” a source close to the Horrible Bosses actress tells People magazine. “She’s always said that he would love to have a baby, especially since Justin came into her life, but she won’t be upset or disappointed if it doesn’t happen.”

“She loves life with Justin as it is,” the source adds.

The source tells People Jennifer is “crazy about Justin and can’t wait to be his wife.”

Jen, 44, and Justin, 41, allegedly have a wedding date set for soon after the former Friends star wraps her current film in Connecticut on March 8. They’ve designed their own wedding bands and Jen has a dress in mind!

“It will be a small affair with their closest friends,” a source close to Jennifer tells PEOPLE. Miranda Kerr, who is friendly with the couple, tells us exclusively that they’re so “in love.”

“Jen seems more confident than ever,” the source continues to tell the magazine, “and they’ve become a great team.”

Once known as Jennifer Pitt, as she was married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005, America’s sweetheart plans to secretly take Justin’s last name. “She plans on privately changing her name to Theroux. She like the way it sounds and jokes that [Jennifer Theroux] sounds very posh. They really seem to have perfect chemistry, like they complete each other. There’s a perfect balance. He was doting when she turned to him [at the Oscars], but the overall vibe was simply fun and effortless,” the source says.

Jen and Justin got engaged on the actor’s birthday last August. Their life has included cozy parties and getaways in Mexico. Before Justin came along, “Jen was always very grateful for everything that she had. But now life could not be better. And she deserves all the happiness in the world,” the source concludes.

[From Hollywood Life]

That was a lot to take in one little article, right? So Jennifer is NOW playing the “I don’t need a baby, y’all” thing? Fascinating. I wonder… I wonder if this is going to be a repeat of Brad and Jen? As in, I wonder if Justin actually wants to become a father and Jennifer is still playing the “if it happens, it happens” game. As for Jennifer changing her name… I’m fine with it. Some women just like to change their names and some don’t. It’s no big deal, although I think it’s funny that Jennifer wants to change her name because she thinks “Jennifer Theroux” sounds “posh”??? Also – “she deserves all the happiness in the world”!!! Subtext: Never forget – poor Jennifer!
