Star magazine is reporting the unsurprising news that Jennifer Aniston has no intention of sitting down with Angelina Jolie for a little heart to heart. Angelina mentioned in a recent interview that she would love to have a little chat with Aniston. She claimed that nothing happened between her and Brad while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but her comments that Brad was married to his “best friend” must have seemed like a backhanded dig to Aniston, who is said to have tried to get over the onslaught of news about her ex and his gorgeous fertile partner by doing yoga and bawling.
Now Star points out that Angelina requested several meetings with Aniston before that were all turned down. They quote a psychologist who says that Angelina is just trying to get over her man-stealing guilt by extending a PR olive branch to Aniston.
They’re really just stating the obvious, and might not have any insider information:
Apparently Angelina’s comments were particularly infuriating because the Mr. & Mrs. Smith star had forgotten to mention that Jen had already rebuffed several previous attempts at reconciliation! “Jen says Angelina could have told Vogue that she had already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with her,” says the source.
Angelina’s comments, including her claim that she and Brad Pitt, 43, were just “very, very good friends” during filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and only became lovers after he and Jen had separated, have put Aniston in a funk as the holidays approach, the source tells Star. “Angelina has opened up some old wounds with Jen, wounds she thought had healed,” the source tells Star. “It seems like revisionist history to her to paint this picture of how Angelina and Brad got together. Jen says a lot of it is plain bull!”

The article goes on to say that Aniston is perplexed that Angelina is bringing up all this old shit. They quote a psychologist who says that “There is a manipulative aspect on Angelina’s part in requesting this sit-down. Angelina wants to alleviate her guilt. It’s better for Jen to move on than to forgive this person. A sit-down isn’t going to help Jen at all.”
Jen is said to be “in a fragile state” now that she’s alone for the holidays. There was speculation that she almost ran into her more recent ex Vince Vaughn at the Beverly Hills Hotel over Christmas, but only Courteney Cox and David Arquette were at the hotel at the same time as Vaughn. Aniston was nowhere to be found.
It does seem really rude of Angelina to request a sit down with Aniston. If my husband left me for someone else unexpectedly I’d steer clear of her too.
These old pictures of Brad and Jen in June 2000 show how much alike they once were. Thanks to SimplyBrad for these pics.
Gosh, Brad and Jen were so picture perfect for each other! What a shame that it didn’t stay that way. They were so perfect for each other.
Jen is right for not wanting to sit down with angelina. I think a sit down heart to heart is the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard.
Even all the rampant “I love Angelina and therefore believe I should hate Aniston” people should realize there’s no reason Aniston should want a sit-down. Long-term she’s better off without “I morph into my girlfriend” Pitt.
And let me commend you Celebitchy for seeing the other side. Usually this site is extremely anti-Aniston/pro-Jolie. Honestly, I don’t particularly care for Aniston, but I just don’t get all the hate she receives for getting dumped. And just because Jolie is commendable in her charity work does not mean she is an all-around saint. Pitt’s marriage isn’t the first relationship she had a hand in ending.
I don’t believe for a SECOND, Jolie would want to sit down with Aniston for a talk or she asked her for it! Keep in mind it’s STAR speculating about a meeting but Jolie never said she wanted to talk to Aniston in the first place. I remember she was asked whether she met Aniston and she said she did but it was very perfunctory, she said they never really talked. So the interviewer asked if she’d like to talk to her and she said, “yes, but it would ber her decision and I’d welcome it” and that was a polite answer to a question–she was not saying she wanted to talk (it would be “her” decision) while trying not to appear rude (as in “I don’t really want it”). They’re really trying to spin it now as if she said “I’d love to meet and discuss Brad with her”. Please, what’s to discuss? I’m sure NEITHER would want a meeting. BTW, I don’t think that Jen and Brad were “perfect” together. If they were, they’d still be together. Their marriage had its share of problems that were obvious even to me (Brad practically crying to Diane Sawyer how much he wanted kids two years before the split).. why stay in an unhappy relationship that’s going nowhere, even with the counseling they had? STAR is just trying to spin a story that’s not there.
Hey Chinnefer, since AJ put the voodoo spell on BP, she is kind of thinking you’re cute, in your Manniston way. So AJ will put the voodoo spell on you Chinnefer and she will make you her Beotch!
I generally give AJ some benefit of the doubt but yes, I agree, requesting a sit down is manipulative.
Leave the bloody woman alone. The press were on the verge of shutting up about it now they want to drag it into version 2.0.
Enough already, Jen doesn’t have to like you or talk to you. And neither does the rest of the world. Get over it and live your life.
I’d love to see what would happen if nobody cared about it tomorrow – the press included.
well, mangie is a manipulative bitch. she can’t even commit to brad “we’re legally bound by our children”… WTF does that mean?

It means they might not want to get married but they made sure the children they have would be taken care of leagal and in some cases this was stronger then just getting married.
Brad is the legal father to all three children, their birth certificate will have Brad Pitt listed as their father.
This story is alot of bull.
Santa Angolina doesn’t jive with me. All her “good” work is self-serving. I recalled my priest telling us of a tale in his native country of the Phillipines of a CEO that came in with aide of bags of rice during a famine crisis, but the ceo wanted a “photo op” to prove to his generosity. But the true meaning of philinthrophy is anonymus and without any attachments. To me, Santa Angolina and Brad don’t give unless there is a flashblub to document it.
Randi’s got it figured out, Brad just turns into whatever woman’s on his arm at the time. Funny how before Santa Angelina he wasn’t the least bit interested in Africa or Costa Rica or Hati or any of them…
personally i’m sick of hearing about “poor jen”. get over it and move on. brad is apparently happy with someone else. i think jen has gotten enough publicity over being dumped. jmo
Thank you Kallie. At least you read the article. Most people here just spout off without knowing anything. For the record, she did not say she wanted to meet Jennifer. But you know what, so what if she said she wanted to meet her – does JA occupy some sainted turf? No she doesn’t. She allowed her friends and others to defame a husband she claims to love and his children to make herself look better. If I were Angie, yes I would meet that cowardly woman to see what she says when her friends are not around. Jennifer knew damn well, her marriage was over. Even I knew it, the moment she said publicly her husband is not the love of her life. Go and read any of her interviews and tell me if you could possibly believe this woman loved her husband. These are her own words, read them and then come back and defend her. She lost her husband because she did not want him, not because of anything Angie did. Let her grow up and take a deep, long look at her responsibility for the demise of her relationship. Come on people, what wife stays away from her husband for six months and not visit him? If I were her and Brad my husband, I would have been there with him screwing the hell out of him. What this shows is that she took Brad for granted, she belittled him publicly. Tell me how many of you would do what she did? Not many. Yes, she was married to Brad, but JA, unlike many women only wanted the facade not the marriage in the true sense of the word. So, to all of you supporters who champion her because she was allegedly cheated on – she cheated herself and Brad. At the end of the day, Brad is also human and entitled to a wife who wants him.
Sorry for the long post, but this thing with people going on about Brad and Angie really rankles me.
Is Angie so nieve that she’d actually think by talking to Jen that she can get rid of the guilt she has.Or is it her imagine she’s really concerned about?Give it up Angie,you and Brad did wrong and no matter what you say or do won’t change that.I’m with Jen on this one.
“Yes, she was married to Brad, but JA, unlike many women only wanted the facade not the marriage in the true sense of the word”.
Umm, AIW, you weren’t there – Unless you were privileged to be with them 24/7 I don’t really think you’re qualified to make judgements about the Anniston/Pitt marriage. You speak as if you know her intentions, which is ludicrous unless you’re her shrink. If you’re really intelligent, you’ll know that every bit of gossip you hear about any celebrity is manipulated. Your hostility towards Jennifer Aniston says more about you than your words ever can.
A More Intelligent Woman:
Would have read what I wrote and see that I talked about things JA herself has said and not what the tabloids have written. I believe I encouraged her fans to go and read her past interviews and then come back and give your impression of her/her marriage. You have just shown, that like most JA fans, you are missing an intelligence chip.
From an unbiased stand point it does seem to me like Jen A. dinked around and let a great thing slip through her hands and now she’s regretting it. Like the song says, “your dreams move on if you take too long.”

Angelina’s comments about being ‘best friends’ would have hit a nerve if I was in that situation.
All I know, is that karma is a bitch. She will get hers. And I wish that when she falls, not one person will be there to pick up the pieces.
When Jennifer Aniston ensnared Brad Pitt (and according to published reports, that’s what she did, by reading up on his interests before their first date, etc.) she wouldn’t shut up about how happy they were ad nauseum. So yes indeed, as so many posts have been fond of saying, karma is indeed a bitch.
AIW – You’ve misinterpreted my post just as you appear to misinterpret tabloid trash. You read it and then regurgitate it covered in your own slimy bile. Read what’s written, not what your little brain translates. Never said I was a fan. Really, if you can’t even read properly, how intelligent can you be?
The media needs to STFU and stop connecting these two women in any way, shape or form. I can’t imagine either of them appreciate these ridiculous bullshit stories.
Why does it seem like people keep choosing sides like this is a war or something? JA and BP were married, it didn’t last like most marriages under that kind of scrutiny. BP and AJ are now, for all intensive purposes, married, and it won’t last like most marriages under that kind of scrutiny. Relationships fall apart for a number of reasons. There is no sense in demonizing one woman or the other. Can’t we just agree that it’s sad that people got hurt and hope the best for the future of all parties?
Julie: thank you for your comment! I wish people moved on w/o demonizing either woman. Neither of them is perfect and life rarely works out the way we plan, you just have to make the best of it. As you said, relationship fall apart, in Hollywood as much as in Kansas.. it was obviously not meant to be and the only good thing here is that there were no kids involved. Who knows if Angie and Brad last but they seem to be focusing on the kids and helping others, so at least there is something positive coming out of this pairing. Most celebs are so self-centered, it’s sickening.
Good that someone is calling Angie out for what she is – a manipulative bitch.
It amazes me how many so-called intelligent people feel the need to blame the wife when a marriage ends. Pitt was married (not seperated) when he and Angelina started up. Pitt is the fucking bad guy.
Wow, there’s a side of Angelina Jolie that I never saw before! Talk about manipulative! I can understand Jen’s reaction to all this.
It’s good to know that AJ is not a saint after all.
Yeah, and ALL of you know these people well enough to make these observations about what really went down. An Intellligent Woman’s post summed it up based on things these people actually were quoted as saying, and made the most sense. For the billionth time: Marriages DO NOT break up from infidelity!!! Infidelity is a result of something else. Happy couples do not stray. I have been in the physical presence of JA and BP when they were married, and there was definitely something off with them. My grandmother was very unhappy in her marriage, and stayed with my grandfather because of my dad. Then as time went by, she followed her heart when she fell in love with a handsome musician, and left my grandpa for him. As upset as everyone who was involved was, 55 years later, they’re still married, and still just as crazy about eachother. She told me she felt so lonely in her marriage to my grandpa, she just couldn’t stay. They would’ve eventually divorced without another man in the picture.
Angelina has the man, she has the kid, just leave Jennifer alone. I don’t believe for a minute that she and Brad weren’t “doing the do”, prior to his leaving Jennifer. Angelina is full of shit.
Brad is a monogamous guy who never cheated on any of his girlfriend/fiancees and never blamed a woman for the split — remember how Gwyneth came out years later telling the press it was her fault they broke up, she was a fool to let him go and it took her 5 years to get over him? I’m not blaming Jennifer for what happened, but to put the blame entirely on Brad is contrary to everything he’s always represented and contrary to what people (including Jennifer) say of him. As unsettling as it sound, sometimes it’s an adult thing to realize that life is not black and white with clearly assigned fault and marriages fall apart for many reasons, including incompatibility of characters and goals. If you see yourself in poor Jen because someone once left you for someone else it’s a natural thing to try to blame the “other woman” (Angelina personifies the “other woman” better than anyone) and make yourself (and Jennifer) look completely innocent and wronged. Never mind it doesn’t reflect the real situation or helps anyone feel better. People who dwell on stuff like that and like to assign blame usually end up feeling more bitter and isolated even years after the event.
Kallie, If Brad is such a saint why did he go through so many women in Hollywood who never wanted to settle down and have kids with him, until now. And these women have kids with other people. Didn’t he date Thandie Newton as well to ad to a long list. I don’t think for a minute he was as good as gold. You can tell what kind of intergity he has to get Angelina pregnant before the divorce was final. Maybe these other women didn’t want their kids smothered by a human chimney, for the sake of having man.
