There are plenty of conspiracy theories for why Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux haven’t gotten married yet, and lots of legitimate reasons too. The conspiracies involve stuff like “Jennifer wants to milk this for maximum attention” and “Justin doesn’t want to be Mr. Aniston.” The legit reasons involve stuff like “Jennifer’s been surprisingly busy lately” and “they couldn’t agree on where to have the wedding.” All I know is that it’s been more than a year and there have been several People Mag cover stories about this wedding that’s never happened and people are starting to wonder. Well, Star has a funny story about all that – apparently, Justin’s friends are taking bets on whether the wedding will EVER happen.
Jennifer Aniston seems to have found true love with fiancé Justin Theroux, but the actor’s friends are a different story – they’ve started placing bets on whether the two will ever marry!
“It’s a joke among Justin’s friends,” a source tells Star. “There’s about $100,000 riding on it.”
While Jen claims there’s no rush because they “already feel married,” some fear the constant indecision is due to Justin’s cold feet.
“His friends are adamant he won’t ever marry… Justin finds weddings embarrassing. He can’t stand the idea of being on display, not to mention the pressure that comes with marrying Jennifer Aniston.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
Justin has friends with $100,000 to throw around on a bet about whether he’ll get married? Who are these friends? Like, Terry Richardson and Ben Stiller? Anyway, I tend to believe some version of this – I’ll believe that Justin isn’t jazzed about having some fancy, expensive, LOOK AT US wedding and that he’s told friends in the past that he hated weddings. But I have to ask… if he really feels that way, why did he propose to Jennifer? Why give your lady a ring (even if the ring looks like quartz) if you’re not jazzed about the idea of weddings in general? Or could it be that the real conspiracy is still about that whole engagement story?

“He can’t stand the idea of being on display.”
But he’s an ACTOR. Isn’t that part of the job?
Liars. They will display themselves when the time is right. It’s what they live for. Award season is approaching and because they aren’t getting any, well, you know…..
Oooooh. Especially when SOMEone is getting a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award come March. I like this.
I was never a believer in that whole “Jen still isn’t over the divorce” evergreen story. I mean, it’s Angelina. And Brad is only human. If she batted her eyes at *me*, I’d have to go. But if the wedding is within a week or two of March 2, I might be a believer.
How awful, if it’s true, to let one terrible betrayal rule you for the rest of your life. I hope it’s not true.
There was no betrayal, Debbie. Any betrayal was done by Aniston, not to her. So there is no betrayal for her to get over. There was no affair, that was debunked a long time ago. No affair, no betrayal. Any betrayal was done by Aniston when she betrayed Brad and threw him under the bus for attention.
Don’t get me wrong, Sal. I’m no Aniston fan. And if I had to go with my gut, my gut says “mind-bendingly gorgeous fun family-oriented free spirit” wins over “pretty career-oriented image-conscious control freak”.
However, let’s not kid ourselves. Whether or not there was actual bomp-chicka-bow-wow going on before the divorce was final, Brad did leave Jen for Ange. I think Jen’s entitled to consider that a betrayal.
I assume you’re referring to Jen’s supposed refusal to start a family as her “betrayal” of Brad — I never read that she actually doinked anyone — and that’s a fair point. But 1) phew, so glad they didn’t have kids just to make Brad happy, because how sad would that kid be now, and 2) too bad he didn’t have the jumblies to divorce her for that reason before the whole Angie thing happened.
Anyhoodle, like I said. I side-eye Jen and her perpetual I’m-not-a-victim-really-please-stop-talking-about-it-yes-I-know-I-brought-it-up-but-still-victimhood. The way she’s apparently dumped Courtney bugs me a lot, too. And I think Angelina is plain amazing. But it’s not hard to understand why Jen felt betrayed at the time, and to empathize with her. I can feel that, and still understand the rest of it. Right?
Debbie, by Aniston’s own words, Brad came and told her he had feelings for Angelina. So he told her that straight up. She was under no illusions. She wasn’t betrayed at all. She told him (again, via her, herself) to go have an affair, get it out of his system and come back to her. But no, he could not and would not do that. He couldn’t just screw around and go back to Jen. When he told her that, she decided to divorce him. Then, she started banging Vince vaughn, before he and Angelina got together. So once again, Brad was completely honest with her. There was absolutely no betrayal.
He was honest with her.
He had the honesty, decency and the jumblies to tell her he had feelings for Angelina. He had integrity personified.
She started fucking V.V and then Brad with Angelina – AFTER Aniston stepped out of their marriage first and started fucking V.V. Her actions and the facts proved she was never betrayed, rather that she was the one who betrayed Brad.
On display as himself.
Many actors have a hard time functioning as themselves, so they are drawn to job in which your every word and action is written for you. Sometimes acting starts as a coping mechanism for extremely shy, insecure people.
He strikes me as a hypocrite with his comments about actors such as Tom Hanks who are so overexposed that they aren’t believable as the characters they play. Not fooling anyone, Smilin’ Bob.
They could elope and have zero audience. I think he is seeing how far she can take him in the industry and if he gets famous/rich enough on his own he will dump her. He wont though so he may end up staying w her. He isnt leading man material at all. And writing doesnt make half as much money as being a leading man so he will never be as rich or famous as her and he LOVES the fame/attention being with her brings. He is really self absorbed. She seems to go for really self absorbed guys: Brad Pitt, John Meyer. She needs a guy who is down to earth & not in the industry.
Brad Pitt is NOT self-absorbed at all. That man has a heart as big as all outdoors. You should not have listed him with the others.
“She needs a guy who is down to earth & not in the industry.”
Oh really????
The industry IS HER LIFE. Hollywood is her bedroom.
Um, Brad Pitt never told a bunch of paparazzi on the sidewalk that Jennifer was stuck in the 90s……so I don’t know how exactly he compares so favorably to Meyer.
Hi Debbie,
just wanted to chime in and say I completely agree with you. I’m Team Angelina but totes agree that Brangelina started happening before he and Jen were officially done. And yes, I don’t like how Aniston manipulates the media and I like her even less now that she and Courtney seem to have gone separate ways. That’s sad.
Well he’s friends with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jimmy Kimmel and John Krasinski, but I call BS on this whole story.
First, it’s star magazine.
Second, why would his friends care if he married her?
And third, what a dumb thing for a ‘friend’ to do. If he wants to marry her, then they’re betting against his happiness.
@Lizzie, who wrote: “Second, why would his friends care if he married her?”
I don’t think they care specifically about Justin marrying Jen, but rather about Justin ever marrying ‘anyone’ at all. As his friends, they think he’s happy not being married.
Let’s face it … he was with Heidi for 14 years and didn’t feel inclined to get married. Some people believe the emotional ‘commitment’ is the only thing that matters.
Absolutely, he was with Heidi for 14 years, no kids, no marriage. He proposed to her maybe because she told him to do it for the publicity or her poor image or to prove that he really doesnt love heidi anymore, who knows. i dont know im just wondering why it still didnt happend. They have all the time and money to marry wherever they want. Shes not working everyday from 8- 5 like ordinary people. Shes throwing party all the time, why is a wedding so different or difficult, its just not, its not a miracle and she did it allready 13 years ago. They were in Mexico, severel times, that could have been the time to plan the wedding. Shes an actress, how many days or hours works an actress in her league? She did how many movies 1 or 2 ? I dont believe that they dont have the time to plan a wedding. Shes superrich she can wed whereever and whenever she wants. My guess is that there is trouble in paradise and that she waits for him till he really wants to do it. Maybe she will wait forever, then we have a new waitykaty. I hope they get married asap! For her fans to calm down and of course the tabloids.
You know, you CAN get married without the big wedding. This whole “not enough time” thing bothers me. Ten minutes in a judges office and boom, married.
Sure, we spent the better part of a year planning our wedding. And it was wonderful. But if our schedules hadn’t allowed for that, we would have taken a weekend trip to Vegas or Hawaii or something and gotten married.
I’m with you, especially since it is her second wedding and he doesn’t seem to care. I put Jessica Simpson in that same category.
It’s not about the time, it’s about maximizing the PR opportunity.
agreed, because, what else is to come after the wedding? The obsession will calm down, thats for sure. Maybe 2 more years wombwatch but then? A baby? i dont think so, i think shes to old and now after all those years just to selfish to have a baby and i dont mean that in a negative way. When you hit a ceratin age, you dont want to care for a crying messy baby, your just too old for it, do you still have the nerves for it with 45 or nearly 50? some do, but some dont. she said kids are messy, and she didnt said it in a funny cute way, she said it like she was serious and annoyed by that fact. maybe if she met Justin 5 years ago, who knows but today, i totaly doubt it. He was with Heidi for 14 years with no kids. So i guess hes not into kids as well. Maybe she really tries to milk it to the maximum. Brad got engaged and just suddenly, they got engaged too even though he wasnt engaged after 14 years with heidi. But, still there is no wedding. If the wedding happens, the attention for her will definitly calm down, and she knows it. But maybe, she waits for the Jolie-Pitts, she does not know when they will marry so she waits, i know it sounds kind of crazy but we´re talking about superrich selfabsorbed LA-People. She has nothing else to offer for the people then her private drama which she can always refer to her superstar exhusband pitt. She doenst need a famous partner as you can see with Justin who is, lets be real, a nobody in the industry. She still has pitt for that part and her PR Team is doing their best to make this last.
Especially when you’re in your 40s and it’s your second wedding-seems like you’d be way more likely to do it quietly and quickly.
Maybe she should call Jennifer Lopez to help her, shes a professional when it comes to weddings 😉 Jeny from the block had always time to plan her weddings and Jlo was on the top of her career and she had the time to wed 2 times 😉 so please, no time for these superrich people is not an excuse! Shes not cooking the meal for her guests by herself, she just orders everything and wherever she choose to marry, there are very professional people to make the wedding perfect. She once also said in an interview that shes very good in planing partys and that this is her true proffesion.
My wedding was planned and executed in three weeks.
Oh man, I don’t know how people do it. 3 weeks?? I was MOH and bridesmaid in three back-to-back weddings this summer, and had to act as a sort of coordinator/wedding planner for my sister’s wedding. Stress! It never felt like enough time (and my bestie, who had been planning for 11 months, felt the same). What did you do for your wedding?
Impressive! I love love wedding planning. Was yours a destination wedding?
I’m with you
why plan a wedding (it’s just one day), wouldn’t it be best to plan your life together
elope just make sure that prenup is in place first
I think I’d tend to agree with you, Kate. If more couples invested as much time planning their lives together as they do a lavish wedding, maybe there would be fewer divorces.
to Just Passing Through…
SO WELL SAID.
I think that applies to a LOT of couples these days…they’re concentrating on the WEDDING, not the MARRIAGE.
I understand what you mean but still, it all depends.
Sometimes a lavish wedding is a tribute to the bride’s ego or a way to show off wealth. But often it is a reflectuon of culture/custom and is a way to honor the family and guests. The elaborate and/or expensive arrangements are sincerely meant to give loved ones a beautiful experience. This was the case with my wedding. I so wanted to just have a small, private dinner and then just send out announcements but many complications made that idea unworkable. But a year and a small fortune later my husband and I still tear up when we reminisce about our big fat three day wedding.
He seems like a douche bag and she seems desperate to settle for a douche bag.
I don’t really buy this “bet” story, however if it were true, I would hope Aniston would have enough sense to not be with a man who has friends who he allows to openly disrespect him and his fiancee. How old are these “friends”? Seniors in high school?
Maybe she’s the one with cold feet.
she used to bother me but now i really do believe she’s happy with justin and over the entire “triangle” situation. i kind of wish the weeklies would just leave em be.
I wouldn’t be surprised about him having cold feet. He seems like a low-key guy. Maybe he thought Jen wouldn’t want the big wedding since she already had one. Who knows. With all the pressure, I could see them breaking the engagement.
And while the article is from Star, maybe his friends are stll taking bets. My ex’s friends had daily conversations about how I was the worst girlfriend ever and he should just breakup with me. So yeah, some guy friends have nothing better to do than gossip and bitch about their friends’ relationships.
I think they got engaged to be engaged. They have had time to get married there are plenty of pictures of the two of them on holidays and if you really want to get married you make the time. I have never thought this would actually happen.
I don’t think she really wants the wedding, or even children, no matter how many interviews she does. If she did she could simply adopt or use a surrogate. Or marry someone who gets the game. No She wants pot, liquor and Cabo, which is just fine and dandy by me.
I don’t buy that he is a “low-key” guy. If he really were, he would never have gotten involved with the PR circus that is Jennifer Aniston. I think he LOVES the attention.
Well said.
I think they’re married already. I also think that “friends” who place actual bets on your happiness suck.
Yeah, I really don’t see them getting married. If they do, I don’t see it lasting long. At the very least there seems to be some issues that they haven’t worked out–especially with where to live, etc. Right before/after they got together, Jennifer bought that NY apartment, then a few months later she sold it after giving tons of interviews about how she was going back to NY for a change, etc. Then, what a few months later they were back in LA. It doesn’t seem like she can compromise very well.
And if two grown people can’t work through being bicoastal……
And I agree with Kaiser–that ring is UGLY. It would’ve been better if it had been smaller. What I don’t get is why after she announced the engagement via People, why did all those stories come out about how Justin designed the ring–how it was understated and not that big. And then came out that gaudy monstrosity after what? Three months of her hiding her engagement ring hand in her pocket (when all she had to do was not wear the ring outside of her home).
I’ve seen more tasteful-looking rings in a gumball machine.
@Virgilia, who wrote: “What I don’t get is why after she announced the engagement via People, why did all those stories come out about how Justin designed the ring–how it was understated and not that big.”
Those kinds of comments are what led me to believe the JustJen engagement was a ‘tit for tat’ thing with the Jolie-Pitts. Brad had a hand in designing Angie’s ring, don’t ya know?
Who was the jeweler behind the Justin designed ring for Jen? You know how those businesses like to get their names attached to stars.
@Anon, who wrote: “Who was the jeweler behind the Justin designed ring for Jen? You know how those businesses like to get their names attached to stars.”
Funny that … I just Googled ‘Who designed Jennifer Aniston’s engagement ring’ and the closet I came to an answer was this ‘E Online’ article, which mentions who did ‘not’ design the ring. 🙂
http://www.eonline.com/news/352324/jennifer-aniston-vs-angelina-jolie-battle-of-the-diamond-engagement-rings
Perhaps they’re afraid to tell us who designed the ring because then we’d find out Jen picked and paid for it herself.
Claudia says: You can’t dictate what someone says on this thread. The tit for tat comment is her right to say it.
He should of given her a mood ring
I like her ring. Yes, it looks like a quartz. But I LOVE quartzes. I hope they end up having a low-key wedding.
Also, please put this triangle thing to rest. Honestly.
Someone put a link, with a bunch of quartz like rings–ironically enough, I liked all of the rings EXCEPT for the clear/white quartz. It just looks too generic and gaudy to me–like someone who’s never had money before picks the biggest diamond, just to prove that he/she can afford it, despite the flaws/attractiveness. I like big rings, just not that type.
And when did I mention the Triangle of Doom?
Sorry, Virgilia; the triangle comment wasn’t direct at you but to Emma for that silly tit-for-tat comment. And yeah, I prefer cloudier quartzes too– I have to admit I haven’t seen a close-up of Aniston’s ring, just the far away shots showing the general shape of it. Is it a clear ring? I could google it but… it’s just a lazy curiosity 😀
Claudia, they all look a little cloudy to me, but it’s not as noticeable/more attractive in the rings with color. But I haven’t seen a clear picture of it either–I don’t like the cut of it either. It looks like they just stuck a giant rock on a thin band and called it a day–but if she likes it, that’s all that matters.
@Claudia, who wrote: “Sorry, Virgilia; the triangle comment wasn’t direct at you but to Emma for that silly tit-for-tat comment.”
‘Silly or not’ … it’s probably true. LOL! And you know it too, or you wouldn’t have tried to deflect from it by attacking me. 🙂
But seriously, what other reason would they have had to make such a comment (Justin helped design the ring) at the time, especially as it turned out ‘not’ to to have been true? “That was a ‘stupid’ lie, [Jen … er, I mean Eve], easy to expose. Not worthy of you.”
Hollywood actresses don’t seem to understand the difference between engagement ring and cocktail ring. Then again, ms.aniston does love her cocktails…
Emma: I didn’t attack you, that would imply I made personal remarks against you. All I said was 1.) that the triangle thing is old, and 2.) that your comment was silly.
Other reasons to make the design comment, you ask? To fill out the spread in People, maybe? And that it’s the truth? I was in three weddings this summer, and in all three weddings the groom helped design the ring (all three couples are nowhere near wealthy)– it’s not some crazy out-there thing that only one couple has a monopoly on.
Justin seems to be a collector — he’s into vintage & unusual. Maybe the jeweler is not identified because this is a very old heirloom ring either passed down through his family or he found it via another venue. It’s certainly possible but we have no way of knowing unless they tell us.
To Claudia: You can’t dictate what someone says on this thread. The tit for tat comment is her right to say it.
Yes, and I have a right to say what I said. We can go in circles like this, ad nauseum. I don’t have supernatural powers to compel or prohibit anyone from saying anything, fyi, so….
?
meh, I don’t see the big deal about marriage either. it’s just a piece of paper to me; you can make a commitment to someone without the official ceremony in front of “God and everyone”.
Been with the bf 20+ years and we don’t need a piece of paper to tell us we’re staying together. plus, considering that over 50% of marriages end in divorce, why bother? most of my friends who got married are now divorced and RE-married.
and DAMN he looks fine in that cop uniform!
Sorry, but women always make comments about how marriage is just a piece of paper and they don’t need it — until they end up on Judge Judy suing for all the benefits they would’ve had if they’d been married.
While it works you think it’s just a piece of paper but as soon as you break up you think you have “rights.” You don’t have rights — that’s what a legal, binding “piece of paper” gives you.
Just pray that he doesn’t end up in the hospital and his family tells you they’re next of kin, not you. It’s been true with gay couples when they couldn’t marry and it’s still true with unmarried straight couples who don’t marry. Good luck.
wow, joan, you just made a LOT of assumptions about the state and future of my relationship, what “rights” I think I have, and how I get along with his family.
perhaps you should spend more time minding your own business than you do making assumptions about other people’s relationships. sheesh.
Joan, I completely agree, and you make excellent points. I didn’t think your comments were directed at anyone specifically. But they are still wise and relevant observations.
Well said Joan, no one should be naive about their legal situation. You don’t want to be denied access to your loved one at the hospital because of a “piece of paper”.
Totally true. The law does not give a common law spouse the same rights. Something for a couple to think about because most don’t. My girlfriend lived with a man for years. When he died in an car accident, his ex-wife got control of his house and estate because he had no will and the ex had the young kids who inherited everything. My friend (who was also injured in the accident) and her daughter had to move out of the house in a month. I doubt this was what her common law spouse would have wanted!
Hey Doofus,
Love your “name”!
Just wanted to agree with you about how good he looks in that uniform. Yep, I like it:)
Thanks, Tulip Garden…LOVE tulips, such a happy flower!
yeah, I wouldn’t mind if he frisked me… 😉
I want in on those bets. I dont think they will get married ever – Jennifer is a me, myself and I kind of person.
Lets see how long Justin is going to last..
I want in that bet too, and I don’t think this wedding will ever happen.
Star Magazine??? Ha ha ha ha!! Come on.
I don’t believe this story one bit. However, I don’t profess to know what’s really going on in their relationship. I tend to think this is the real deal. They make a great looking couple & Good Lord, he is hot. They’re just living their lives & not hurting anyone. Let’s see what happens.
Not hurting anyone? Tell that to Heidi – you know the woman Justin was with for 14 years because he cheated with Jennifer and threw her out of his apartment. The same woman Jennifer humiliated with the cheating and also by publishing pictures of Jennifer being with Justin weeks before Heidi and Justin broke up.
And then…after he THREW her out of the apartment, he kicked her dog…twice.
Don’t mind Cecilia, shes a rabid Aniston loon who would defend Aniston and Justin’s actions if they murdered a child. Its a pity those of her ilk have no sense of morals or compassion for what Aniston did to Heidi. Hey, its Aniston, you know? HER happiness is *ALL* that matters, NO MATTER *HOW* she achieves it. Fuk Heidi! Thou Queen Aniston must have what she wants, and she is justified in whatever means she achieves that, dammit! Whats a homewrecker here and there, or a ruined relationship of 14 years? Those like Cecilia will just mock and belittle what Heidi went through. Brainwashed fawning loon bots.
Over invested are we? Justin is responsible for his relationship with Heidi and if he acted like a heel that’s on him and him alone. Blaming the “other” woman is silly, she was not in the relationship he was.
Lol, oh the superb irony of an Aniston fan talking about “over invested”. The fact that places like FF exist, is purely because of unstable Aniston fans who are way way too over-invested in something that happened 8 years ago. What was the past 8 years ‘homewrecker Jolie’ about then, if it wasn’t due to over-invested Aniston fans? Now that the shoe is on the other foot, as I said, MORAL GYMNASTICS.
As to the Justin and Heidi, Aniston knew Justin and Heidi, and she knew he was taken. She seduced him on set, started screwing him on set, and went after him knowing he was taken. She is just as much to blame as Justin. The only innocent victim is Heidi.
Hey, the argument has worked for 8 years, so……
And its
@Sal, who wrote: “As to the Justin and Heidi, Aniston knew Justin and Heidi, and she knew he was taken. She seduced him on set, started screwing him on set, and went after him knowing he was taken. She is just as much to blame as Justin. The only innocent victim is Heidi.”
Yep, that ‘is’ the big excuse. isn’t it? “Oh Jen didn’t go after Justin. They’ve been friends for a long time.” So Jen definitely knew Heidi or knew ‘of’ Heidi.
You know, about a year before all of this came out, around the time Jen was photographed in the car with one of her friends ‘soon-to-be-ex-husbands’ and everyone laid a finger to their noses and said “Ah-Hah!” … someone posted anonymously and said Jen wasn’t dating that guy, but she ‘was’ seriously involved with someone. The poster said Jen and her fella were keeping it under wraps because ‘Jen’ was afraid of how her fans would take the relationship.
Seems like that ‘anonymous’ someone knew what they were talking about, huh?
LOL!!
Wasn’t he with his last girlfriend for over a decade? That, to me, says marriage is not on his To Do (ever) List.
I sort of assume Jen pushed for the engagement, but couldn’t care less if she actually gets married.
Who cares if theyre married or not. They make a nice looking couple. He’s hot!
Jen fans do.
And he is fecking UGLY! He looks like a short-legged wide-torsoed, ill-proportioned boot-polish haired hairless troll doll. Personality and character-wise they do make a good couple though….
I think when you are outside the celebrity bubble regarding people knowing you and seeing you it is different. I’m sure he and Heidi were going out and socializing. Nobody knew or cared. So he could take these grand stands. He was friends with these same people all those years. YET he never appeared on their shows nor was he ever photographed vacationing with them. NOW all that is different. He is being asked questions and getting covers of magazines. What has changed about his life. Can’t say it is because he had a TV show picked up. He was on some shows before that. He is with a woman that is in the tabloids so he is a part of her life and drama. He doesn’t seem to mind the attention. You don’t see Julia Roberts husband on magazine covers.
He is enjoying the attention and the perks that come with it. And it is not about him.. but the shadow cast from others.
He is a moon glowing in the light of others. That is a fact.
Isn’t Juluia Roberts’ husband a cameraman?
Yes, he is a camera man, not an actor, so I wouldn’t expect to see him on a cover.
Great points, Lisa2.
Julia Roberts’ husband is a cameraman. He never made it on any tonight show, or day show or morning show.
WHY was Justin on the Ellen show? There was nothing to promote at the time other than being Aniston’s paid-for boyfriend. He was not the main actor nor main supporting actor in the movie Wanderlust- which was a total bust BTW.
The only reason he is getting any play is because of Aniston and his newfound contract with CAA Agency compliments of Huvane.
Jennifer Aniston is very good friends with Ellen… So, there is your answer! They (Ellen and Portia) have traveled with Justin and Jennifer many times, and the last time I checked… Ellen can INVITE whomever she wants to be on HER show!
.
Seriously, who cares if they get married? It is not like they have a collection of children and SHOULD get married! *wink
I don’t think anyone is disputing whether or not Ellen can invite anyone she wants on her show–but it is suspect.
Justin has NEVER been on Ellen’s show or any other high profile talk shows before he got with Jennifer–which would be fine, if he had talent to back that up. He doesn’t–he hasn’t shown any talent that will separate him from the C-list writers/actors, which is why he wasn’t ever high profile, or even mid profile.
The only reason I even knew this guy’s name is because I thought he was really hot in Charlie’s Angel’s and I looked him up.
He hasn’t had enough work to justify the sudden interest in him–and I’m not talking about being pap’d. I’m talking about signing on with CAA, getting on People’s sexy lists, going on Ellen–NONE of that happened before he was with Jennifer, and he’s only done one project since he got with her–Rock of Ages.
And the reason their wedding is in question, like I said on another thread, it was put out there. Don’t have two People covers saying you’re getting married at such and such time, and then another cover saying you’re putting your wedding off–don’t do that and don’t think that people won’t question.
If they hadn’t put those covers out, I wouldn’t be asking when are they getting married in a cynical way. I’d be curious, but I wouldn’t be thinking that something isn’t going on.
And the “other couple” isn’t pushing their wedding–all they’ve really said is that it’s going to be “soon”, so that’s why people aren’t (although that was the talk-Brad loved Jennifer more because he married her) asking when are they getting married as much.
@Virgilla… Kind of like saying, We will never spend more than 3 days apart, and when one is doing a film, the other one will be at home with the children…. Hmmmm! LMAO!
Liz, I’m not even sure what your point is. What does saying something along the lines of “we made a deal with each other that we’d never be apart for three days”(which sometimes stuff happens, why does it matter if they do or not? It’s not like they’re saying it in every interview they give), have to do with Jennifer’s wedding or their wedding? Absolutely nothing. All that is is filler, to distract.
If you disagree with my points, fine. Tell me what you disagree with, and I will either counter them or agree with you. Simple. I would prefer that to you just putting in random quotes, that don’t have anything to do with the topic. I’m not talking about the time each couple spends with/apart from each other, I’m talking about how each couple is presenting their wedding.
Wow Liz, ‘collection’ of kids? You Aniston loons are truly loathesome hateful people, aren’t you? Btw, I still fail to see how that is any more of a reason or less of a reason to get married. And as Angelina and Brad said about that rule, they stuck to it so far, so your point is?
Wow Liz.. do the Beckhams and Afflecks have a collection too. OH wait their children are all white. I guess you mean because their children are multiracial that equals a collection. You really showed who and what you are with that comment.
and regarding their 3 day rule. I think as you Jen fans love to say people can change their minds. They have managed to keep that going for over 8 years. A long time to not work at the same time. They have been together going on 9 years. So if this is the first in all that time. I don’t see a problem.
Angie and Brad have 6 beautiful children. Sad that people like you only have a problem with them. There are other celebs with children. Does Sandra have a collection of one and Charlize.. or is that nasty phrase only for the JPs.. no need to answer.
Maybe that is why we don’t really see Jennifer or Justin with people of color. They mirror their fans.
Rumour has it Julia isn’t big on sharing publicity with anyone.
I’d believe that. From what I have read of her, from this site, by a person who knows her (friend of a friend), she’s one of those people that need to be the center of attention, PERIOD.
I think she got with Danny Moder because he was a cameraman–because she would be the star of the relationship (not that I think there’s anything wrong with being a cameraman, or marrying one if you’re rich). She got with him, so all the attention would be on her, not all on him or equally shared–like it would’ve been if she had married any number of the hollywood dudes she dated.
But she gets a stink eye from me because she had LIAM NEESON! WTF??!! If I had a chance to climb all over Liam (I’m under 5’2), do you think I’d let him go? Hell, no. He’d have to pry me off his leg. I’d be on here asking Miss Jane to give him tips 😉
I don’t believe the story but good lord is he ever ugly! 🙁
Agreed! Am I alone in being creeped out over him waxing all his body hair, even the arms?
Am I alone…
YES
Nope, not alone. I find hairless men as disturbing as hairless cats. I do think that this guy is perfect for Aniston, as long as they don’t have to share a mirror. This couple seems to be the vainest, most high-maintenance pair in Hollywood. Can you imagine what their towels and sheets must look like with all the spray tan they use?
Nope, you’re definitely not. Ignore the loon Cecilia. I think the vast overwhelming majority of women don’t want a hairless man. Its not normal. And being a cat lover I totally agree. Hairless cats are not normal either. Hairless men and hairless cats are both disturbing to me too.
Definitely not alone! Hmmmm dyes hair black, spray tans, waxes entire body…. Definitely not low maintenance since has been w/ JA yet alone low key!
These Aniston Stories are exhausting and not very interesting. She puts her engagement and wedding out there and then she’s annoyed when people comment. Blah Blah.
I can see a person not being comfortable with having their wedding turn into a public tabloid event. I actually think it’s laudable.
Don’t believe Star Magazine,it’s just trash, but I do believe he has cold feet. He was with his ex how many years? 14 years. I hate how people think they can change a person. He didn’t marry the last chick, what makes Jen think he will marry her?
Because he asked her to marry him.
And now he has to back it up. Or else.
Unless she was the one who proposed the marriage.
When Justin cheated on Heidi Bevins (for nearly a year) with Jen and then dumped Heidi after being with her for 14 years, comments from Jen’s fans were “Well, they weren’t married so there’s no foul, it’s not the same!” Now it seems to be “Who cares if they’re married? The only thing that matters is the commitment.”
Right.
You’re lumping everybody in together and there really are a ton of different opinions on this. I’m one of the people who think a girlfriend is not the same as a wife; however, I think this also applies to Justin and Jennifer. Plenty of us aren’t hypocrites on this issue.
I think there is a difference again, between a mere ‘girlfriend’ and a live-in life partner of 14 years, especially when homes/assets are jointly owned. Apart from that though, cheating is cheating is cheating. The affect, ie devastation, is the same. In fact, regardless of piece of paper, I think it matters more and the affect is far worse the longer you have been together. For example, I think pain for a person who has been living with their life partner for 14 years and all that life history that that entails, would hurt that person more than someone who has been married for a mere 4 years, and much of that time apart on location. I think its the time spent together to pain ratio, not a certificate to pain ratio. After all, its just plain common sense that the more life you share with someone, the worse that pain will be.
So true.
They are extremely fickle.
I have heard Jen fans say, how it wasn’t important how Justin’s relationship ended with his ex, if he cheated with Jen. They think it doesn’t matter, because she wasn’t his wife. Yes GF and wife are completely different, but everyone owes respect in a relationship, whether she was his wife or not. Her fans wouldn’t be saying that the tables were turned and the same happened again to their idol.
To be honest, I picked up on that and was going to comment about how people blamed Heidi for ‘not getting a ring on it’ and the same people are all “who cares about marriage” now that Aniston and Theroux still aren’t married, and Aniston even said they “consider themselves married”, which is the argument JP fans use. I wonder if (more like when, considering Justin’s past) he cheats on Aniston will they still think its not cheating because they weren’t married? There are so many double standards with JA fans, you need a social secretary to keep track of all the backflips and gymnastics.
@Sal, who wrote: “There are so many double standards with JA fans, you need a social secretary to keep track of all the backflips and gymnastics.”
Word.
The more posts that I read on this subject, the more I believe there are double standards squared. 😉
Agreed!

i want to see her fans freak out when he cheats on her now. There would be no ” oh who cares they werent married!”
So according to some of her fans, it is only cheating if there is a marriage involved. The logic. I’m going to tell that to everyone that has been cheated on by their boyfriend or girlfriend. I’ll tell them chin up, it didn’t matter, you weren’t married. Get over it, you don’t deserve to be heartbroken.
Justin collects teeth, maybe he is after her teeth or want 1 tooth in advance to get married.
Funniest comment of day 🙂
For some reason, this made me giggle helplessly.
He doesn’t like to be on display but he’s an actor who walks red carpets and does interviews. Mkay.
AFTER he and Jennifer got together.
I’m not saying that the guy is completely talentless–he’s a decent actor (loved him in Charlie’s Angels), somewhat decent screenwriter (Ironman 2 was SHIT–my nephew loves that movie, so I have to watch it)….but he has never been interviewed on redcarpets before he got with her. Wasn’t signed with CAA before her. Wasn’t on sexy lists with People, etc–until he got with her. And he didn’t have a job, during all that. I think this pilot he’s shooting is his first job since he got with her–from 2012 on, he’s had Rock of Ages come out, and it was announced that he’s doing Zoolander 2 (and he’s apparently directing it as well–from his IMDB page).
Even if this is true love, let’s get real. He gained something from getting with Jennifer, and I’m not sure it was all that deserved. I wouldn’t mind all that attention (the signing with CAA, the sexy lists, getting interviewed when he hasn’t before), if he actually had the talent to back that up. It doesn’t seem like he’s really done anything noteworthy in his career so far….except being with Jennifer.
That’s my take anyway.
Well an actor is on display while acting or while promoting a project because that is his job.
There’s a big difference between that and a wedding which is a private personal event. Many celebs wed privately. They may release some photos afterwards but the event is private.
I can actually see conflict between the two of them on this. She has made a tabloid career out of making personal events public.
He certainly has benefited from the Aniston connection, but that doesn’t mean that he’s signed on to her PR methods for the long haul.
He HAS signed on to the CAA Agency. I laughed when I first heard (so lame.) We are seeing more of him because of Aniston AND the resources/relationships Huvane has with the tabloids, GQ magazine and People.
He is Mr. Aniston, aka Squiggy. And just like Aniston, he cannot stand on his own. His identity is lost in all things Aniston.
He isn’t leading men material like Reynolds, Gosling, Cooper or Downey Jr.
He is not an par with Clooney, Damon or Affleck.
Nor is he like Fassbender, Jude Law, Cumberbach, or Clive Owen.
He is not a megastar like Pitt, Depp, Cruise or Smith.
He isn’t eye candy enough like McConaughey, Channing Tatum, Kutcher, or Timberlake
I don’t get indefinite engagements. Once you’re a certain age and have been divorced, why get engaged unless you really do want to get married? Maybe they do, and it will happen. Or not. Time will tell.
Maybe it’s because engagements are short of the gravity of marriage but make the individual couple’s status as “taken” clear.
That makes sense. You’re not “just” a girlfriend, I suppose, but it still seems a little silly to me.
One of my co-workers got engaged five years ago. They still haven’t married although they have been together for 15 years. When she was asked when the wedding will take place she said “Never. Why mess up a good thing?”
If she wants to get married, why not elope and get it over with. Maybe he’d agree to that.
Maybe they got engaged so that it would one up his relationship with Heidi. Justin and Heidi were together for 14 years but never took it to the engaged level. Even if he doesn’t marry Jennifer Aniston at least she can say she is/was engaged to him and Heidi wasn’t, therefore she is superior.
Nonsense about him not liking to be on display. He looks plenty giddy and thrilled to be in the spotlight at celeb gatherings – at least in the pics I’ve seen. I suspect he’s much more afraid that marrying Aniston will rob him of his identity. He WILL become Mr Aniston, it’s inevitable.
I’m not a fan of either of them.
but I will say that it is not a big thing really that he got engaged to Aniston after a long relationship. Sometimes people meet a different person. But also nobody knows if his ex Heidi wanted marriage and children. She could have been the one that didn’t want marriage and children. OR she could have felt that he was not the person to have with. He could have met Aniston and found his match. He seems to enjoy her life so…
Everyone is assuming that Heidi was left hanging and all. She seems to be a very classy woman. She is not talking to the rags nor is she issuing statements ragging on this man. She didn’t need the world to feel sorry for her. Which is why in all likelihood the press is not hounding her.
Classy lady. She could have really become the next Aniston, but chose to just chalk it up to experience and move on. She is very pretty to me. Just such a beautiful natural face; so I don’t think she will be alone unless it’s what she wants.
I don’t think that them getting engaged is necessarily why there’s doubt (on my end at least) about them getting married. For all we know, Heidi didn’t want to/didn’t care about marriage or kids. Justin could be one of those people who are ambivelant about the whole thing–I am, on marriage/getting a boyfriend. I think it’s more of a lack of compromise–on Jennifer’s end. And I don’t know if it’s because he’s laid back and he’ll do whatever his girlfriends want him to do, or if it’s because he’s with Jennifer and he wants to keep his sugar mama happy.
Because from the beginning of their relationship, everything changed for him. He moved–Jennifer bought that apartment, stayed in it for a few months, and then sold it and went right back to LA. And they haven’t been back to NY for a long term stay.
His style changed (although I’m glad he reverted back, even though I don’t want to see his pubes)–for a while there he looked like a tanned, metrosexual, ken doll. It was awful. He was overly plucked and wearing a shit ton of makeup.
The only thing that I can think of that Jennifer “gave up”, was when they went to Italy (?)–that’s where the Vatican Church is, right? Other than that? Nothing.
We don’t see them getting pap’d at NY theater plays as much as on the beach in Cabo–which there’s nothing wrong with going to the beach, but that doesn’t seem like it’s one of his main things that he likes to do. We don’t see them doing that in LA either–I know there are play theaters there. I watched this interview with Mark Ruffalo–he talked about how doing theater is only good if you do it in NY….something like whenever he’d mention doing plays in LA, the casting directors would just look at him–doing theater is only “in” if it’s in New York.
From what I hear, he fancies himself to be an intellectual–and he’s with the hipster NY crowd or something….We don’t see them doing things that he necessarily likes to do. All we see is him carrying her bags, and lounging with her by the pool.
It just feels like (from what I see of this relationship) that you do basically whatever Jennifer wants. And that’s not good for any type of relationship, not if you want it to last.
Anyway that’s most of the reason that I think they won’t last, unless more than one person starts compromising. I don’t doubt that he loves her (and the attention), but you can’t just give, give, give for too long until you just quit.

“The only thing that I can think of that Jennifer “gave up”, was when they went to Italy (?)–that’s where the Vatican Church is, right? …”
Ha! Even that “trip” was non-original.
She basically retraced her past and did a repeat. Aniston and Brad made the same “around the Europe in 30 days” before their marriage and her true colors…uh…settled in.
Which is why I chuckled when she recently said she wanted to travel the world. Que?
… Sure she does. She only travels when she has someone that WANTS to travel. And even then she is still not open and resists change.
Good Luck, Justin!!! Still living under the shadow that is Brad Pitt. He needs to keep this marriage postponed UNTIL she loses interest in the coattailing game. That way she can finally focus on him and be a real wife … for the first time in her life. Otherwise, he can keep dating her for … 15 years or so.
I think Jennifer brought that ring herself. If you remember she got engaged the weekend everyone was saying Brad and Angelina was getting married. If you also remember the week before she got “engaged” the media was speculating that she and Justin were breaking up. I am certain the next time marriage stories about Brad and Angie flare up Jennifer will get some speculation leaked that SHE might get married soon.

I wonder what happened to his lips in the second picture with his stupid gun necklace on. It looks like they may have been injected to look bigger and he had a bad reaction.
I think that he may worry about losing his hipster status if they tie the knot, him being so cool and all.
Anyway, another “fascinating” story about this deep couple.
Yeah…they are about as deep as a teardrop.
I’m a women and I don’t like weddings in general,and has no interest in having babies. (Though I have no particular aversion to being married)
SO. Maybe Jennifer is the one with no particular interest of being married. After all, she is the one with the big $$, and who knows Justin’s interest in her will last. Stop speculating. It’s her life, she can do whatever the heck she wants.
I think they won’t marry because from the moment they do, the pressure will be up even more about the next step—BABIES!!!
And there’s something they don’t want the world to know (or at least admit)–that neither one will ever have children. She–because she’s barren at this point, and he–because he was secretly “snipped & fixed” years ago.
^ ^ ^
My thoughts exactly!
Wow. Just… wow!
How in the world can you make such a statement when you have absolutely nothing to back it up?
Criticism is one thing. Slander is something else altogether.
No, No Janet…that would be libel. Slander is the spoken word — libel is written. LOL!! Jazmin is just speculating, like everyone else.
I was wondering how I could get in in that a bet?
Yup. These threads make me laugh. That line about hairless men/cats slayed me.
Remind me to avoid reading any Aniston threads this early in the morning again. It’s like being woken up by a cat fight outside my window. ..
@ jules29
Just make sure that the cat fight does not include hairless cats — it could push Sal over the edge. LOL
No thanks, I don’t want to join you.
What I honestly don’t understand is why people push Justin’s cheating on Heidi under the rug–her fans I mean. I get why the media does it–Heidi’s not famous.
But let’s get real. A big part of Jennifer’s appeal IS that she is the “wronged woman”–nothing anyone says can make me change my mind on that one. She spent the first four years after her divorce directly and indirectly referencing her divorce, Brad, and (attacking) Angelina. After those four years, in came Chelsea Handler–who makes personal attacks against Angelina.
She’s spent all that time, with all that bs going around–and then she turns around and gets with a guy who has a girlfriend. And to be honest, there is way more evidence that Justin cheated on Heidi with Jennifer, than Brad cheating with Angelina, on Jennifer. We had Heidi’s MOM denying that Jennifer and Justin were more than friends/business partners to a freaking TABLOID.
Huvane denied the rumors, at first, to People, saying “Jennifer would never get with a guy who was taken”,etc…This was May 25th, 2011. Jennifer and Heidi’s Mom both said that it was just a business dinner.
But then (this is according to People, I’ll put the link below), on June 2nd, apparently Justin and Jennifer are together. Oh, and guess what? Jennifer threw a party for her friends (Courtney and Chelsea) to meet her new guy–Justin. This was on May 27th. So all of a sudden, two days after they WERE NOT dating, they’re just dating, dating seriously enough to throw a party and introduce the guy to all your friends–that fast??
http://www.celebitchy.com/160513/bffs_jennifer_aniston_courteney_cox_breakup_cc_is_the_new_brad_pitt/#comments
And before this, on May 25th, People reported that they had gone on a date (on the 19th), as did X17. This is when Heidi’s mom had to step in.

http://www.celebitchy.com/159121/whats_the_deal_with_jennifer_aniston_justin_theroux/#comments
So I really don’t understand how, when Jennifer and Justin do it, it’s okay–despite the fact that his girlfriend moved out less than a month after all this happened, and wouldn’t answer whether or not Justin cheated on her with Jennifer.
But it’s not okay for Brad to be seen on a “date”–which is what that day was, when Brad, Angelina, and Maddox played on that Kenyan beach AFTER he was separated, and after Jennifer had filed for divorce (Jennifer filed in March 2005, they were caught at the beach in April, and did that W magazine phtoshoot in July the same year).
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1683124/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-engaged-timeline.jhtml
Those are my questions to the entire Triangle of Doom. Because beyond Brad having feelings for Angelina while he was married to Jennifer (which he admitted to her, as per the Vanity Fair article), I can’t think of anything wrong that either of them did–especially Angelina. I don’t understand how anyone can say Brad betrayed Jennifer, when, by the mouth of her own friend, Courtney, he told her everything. And that nothing even imploded, until after their divorce had been filed.
So if I’m missing something, let me know. Because I honestly don’t get it.
@Virgilia Coriolanus, who wrote: “We had Heidi’s MOM denying that Jennifer and Justin were more than friends/business partners to a freaking TABLOID.”
Because she confronted Justin and asked about him suddenly spending a good amount of time with Ms. Aniston. He flat out ‘lied’ to the woman.
Then Jen’s PR machine tried to throw Heidi under the bus by making her a ‘clingy-just-can’t-take-hint’ woman by putting an article in “US” magazine citing Justin’s ‘friends’ as sources, saying Justin and Heidi had been ‘over’ for a while and their relationship at best had been nothing more than ‘on again, off again.’ Unfortunately for them, someone posted a photo of Heidi and Justin out on a date on April 25, 2011 (just weeks before the “oh meet my new guy!” dinner thrown by Jen) attending “The House of Blue Leaves” on Broadway featuring their good friend Ben Stiller. See the link below, and please note the ‘About this Photo’ caption: “Justin Theroux is accompanied by his longtime love, stylist Heidi Bivens.”

If they BOTH really wanted to marry, what is stopping them? I can believe that he is the reluctant one.
