Despite my enjoyment of the tabloid stories regarding Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s weird relationship these days, I am one of those people hoping that Jennifer and Justin make it. At this point, I’m just exhausted with the “pity poor Jennifer” storyline and I’m not looking forward to the idea that JustJen will split and we’ll have to spend the next three years casting Justin as The New Brad Pitt, or whatever variation they come up with next. I hope Justin and Jennifer make it through. I hope they get married and spend the next decade together, being faux hipsters in Bel Air or wherever. So, that’s why I’m happy that Jennifer and her publicist are FINALLY pushing back against the rash of break up stories. First thing was getting Justin on a plane to LA at long last, next was getting him on a photo-op with Jennifer (they went “Christmas tree shopping” last Thursday). Next was dropping this story to Us Weekly:
‘Tis the season! Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are ready to deck the halls. On Thursday, Dec. 5, the couple paid their annual visit to Mr. Greentrees in Beverly Hills to pick the perfect Christmas tree for their new home.
The engaged stars arrived with two bodyguards and were promptly escorted into a tent, where the lot had set aside some trees for them to peruse, an eyewitness tells Us Weekly. Both were bundled up in jackets; Aniston, 44, also had on a green scarf and glasses. See more pics from their holiday excursion.
“They spent about five minutes [looking at trees] before deciding on a big noble fir,” the onlooker tells Us. “Jennifer knew what she wanted and was leading the way. She was smelling the trees and seemed very into the holiday spirit.”
After choosing the centerpiece for their holiday celebration, the duo browsed the selection of Christmas ornaments and decor. They left a short time later without the tree (presumably to have it delivered).
I don’t do real trees anymore – I live with a big dog who gets upset with trees. He’s okay with my plastic tree, although I do tend to set it up in his favorite corner. But then again, I don’t have a huge Bel Air mansion. I’m sure Jennifer can probably fit a twelve-foot tree in there, easy. I wonder who decorates the tree? Does Justin get into it?
Here’s another push-back story, this one about the rumors that Justin spent Thanksgiving in NYC while Jennifer spent the holiday in LA, with her manager and Ed Sheeran. According to a short interview Ed gave to Closer Weekly, Justin WAS in LA, and Justin cooked:
Singer Ed Sheeran celebrated his first Thanksgiving in a big way this year, by hanging out with A-listers Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux! And Ed confirms to Closer that it was Justin who served as chef for fiancée Jennifer and the singer.
When asked what Justin whipped up for the special day, Ed said a “sweet potato, marshmallow thing,” which very well could have been his first tasting of Thanksgiving favorite sweet potato pie!
Either way, it was certainly a turkey day to remember for the 22-year-old Brit! So what does the famous redhead have planned for the rest of the holiday season?
“Spending time with family,” he shares, “nothing big.”
Huh. So Justin was at the party after all? He was in LA? What does Ed have to gain by lying, so it must be the truth, right? I don’t even know. I guess this is good news. Justin and Jennifer are still together. For now.
Also – JustJen threw their now-annual holiday party last night. The Mail has photos of many of the celebrity guests arriving – you can see here. In attendance: RDJ & Susan Downey, Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Will Arnett. Huh.

They are so boring.
Not to be rude (seriously) but why did you click on the link if they bore you? Curious because I keep seeing posts like this under different celebs and just cant understand why one would bother to read let alone comment if they are bored.
It mystifies me as well. This party was far from boring, I’m sure.
Jennifer bores me as well but I click on the link thinking there will be a big revelation… like what did they do to push back the split rumors??? But then I find it’s nothing big. So it could be you’re looking for something but don’t find it and you’re left bored.
I do it to read the comments.
We live in an age where you can share how you feel. You’re almost compelled to state your opinion given all the social media avenues.
To click a link and to become bored with the results of the article doesn’t mean you can’t post your thoughts.
emmie_a — Exactly.
I think he’s a manic depressive and drug addict, if that helps. His facial expressions make me think he’s going to have a meltdown soon.
You are the one that is boring.
Praise Jebus. They are a perfect match. Never have two people deserved each other more. Carry-on Anthrax.

I absolutely love this comment. Couldn’t have said it better myself!

OK what are RDJ and Will Arnett doing at that party? Everyone else is a pretentious bore, just as I would expect from Jen’s party.
I wish these two would just get married and be done with it already. They both rub me the wrong way and I’m tired of them.
In agreement with all you said 🙂
Actually, is seems that Justin is pretty well connected.
RDJ been friends with aniston and theorux for years now.. am surprised anyone is surprise by that.
Will Arnett been friends with justin for years, i have seen old pics of will, bateman, theroux and john krasinski hanging out several times and yes that weirdo terry richardson is part of their clique
here are the pics

What you are really saying is that all of the A-listers are there for Justin! RDJ is Justin’s friend from working on Tropic Thunder.
I think there’s something to that. Justin may not be as famous as Jen, but he does seem to know a lot of people.
@Josephine-
Outside of RDJ…. Who are the A-listers in that bunch??????????????
Justin wrote Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2.
Co wrote with many others.
Tropic Thunder was written with Ben Stiller and Etan Cohen, he has sole credit for the screenplay for Iron Man 2 though RDJ and Jon Favreau had input into the story.
Both Jennifer and Justin have been in the business for years. I’m not surprised that they have a wide range of friends. Of their friends, I like some better than others. I have to say that I am partial to RDJ, Will Arnett, Tobey McGuire, and Courtney Cox out of this particular group. Wasn’t it a Birthday celebration that they had Jason Bateman and Don Cheadle? Plus vacations with Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinki seems like a fun time to me. IDK, but they do seem like a couple that enjoy themselves and like to have big get-togethers. I find that nice. Isn’t that what most “normals” do too? Have vacations and parties with their friends?
Oh, Ed Sheeran (sp?) seemed so random and although I am not familiar with his music, he comes across very English, very ginger, and (to me) very cute…oversized noggin and all!
Agreed.
If you are tired of these people why are you commenting on this article. You are a hypocrite
I don’t know about the others, but RDJ has known Jennifer for a long time. He told a rather touching story once several years ago about his stint in jail. He said that Jennifer was one of the only people in hollywood who didn’t dump him because of the negative publicity, and talked about how she wrote him letters and kept in touch with him while he did time. I can’t remember all the details, but I’m sure a quick google search can fix that. It might be difficult to bear, but unfortunately for people who live their lives solely off the fumes of imaginative story-lines of celebrity culture, yes. This woman, despite making poor career choices over the last several years, and despite the sad fact that she was once married to Brad Pitt, has friends and is well-liked in the industry. Honestly, to me she sounds like a moron. Just as Brad sounds, or I should say, sounded, like a moron before he became the well-manicured pet of La Jolie. But she sounds like a lovable moron, I will give her that. She’s harmless.
Boring, boring, boring. So irrelevant. She hasn’t had anything decent in years, as far as movies. Not even sure why they are still covered on Celebrity websites.
Okay Dorothy, you must be new to CB, so allow me to fill you, and anyone else who wonders why we are saddled with this woman all day, every day, when her former co-workers, most of whom were more talented than she, are rarely seen or mentioned. The answer is a man, and his name is Stephen Huvane. Stephen practices the black art of public relations, and does so with a fierce and unapologetic ruthlessness. He will do anything to keep his clients in the public eye, and yes, that includes funneling stories full of half truths and blatant lies to tabloids and media outlets, some of them even contradicting each other in an effort to create more controversy. He is the reason we have story after story about Aniston. He is also the reason Aniston continues to have a career. Producers see the plethora of stories about her, assume the public is still salivating over her, and give her a part in a movie. Jen is perfectly aware of Huvane’s value to her, and pays happily through the nose for his services. As long as he is Aniston’s publicist, we will never be rid of her.
Well said!
Sad but true; never to be rid of her!
speak for yourself .Jacka–.We the fans happen to love Jennifer aniston. The day she retire we will stop supporting the movie industry.
Pretty interesting that Gwyneth & Chris were there. Oh Lordie…what Jen & Gwyn could gab about. Nice to see that Courtney was there with a really good looking mystery man. Sounds like a great party. I think Jen & Justin are doing just fine. Although, I still get the feeling that something (not sure what it is) is up.
All of these people share the same publicist, Stephen Huvane. Huvane is pictured with Courtney Cox.
Therein lies the reason for this phony couple and phony party.
Damn – You Celebitches are GOOD. Bet Huvane is sending a hex your way about now. Seriously, you guys are right about a lot of people. I remember on this site I used to defend Reece Witherspoon from the criticim she got for supposedly being an entitled brat and turns out folks on this site were right she is an entitled self-centered brat (have stronger words but everyone knows what I mean). There are other celebs too but right now that sharp chinned one comes to mind.
Good. Can we stop talking about them now?
Clapping.. the love of Justjen continues..
I really truly want them to last.
Because they were at a party together? She could have had this in the works for months and couldn’t cancel without losing face. I think they’re already over.
Yep, they’ve been over for at least a year and a half.
I wish RDJ & Susan would stop hanging around with that idiot Paltrow. Please just stop.
Just like stories suggesting their demise, this story says nothing to me. Who knows what is really going with so much manipulation of the media, and who cares. This is a story line that I would love to see go away.
That’s why I don’t pay attention to the tabloids–pay attention to what THEY’RE putting out. Up until they put out that second PEOPLE article about her wedding plans being canceled, and the subsequent articles and interviews after that–that’s when I went from ‘meh’ on her engagement (because when that second article came out, I had already forgotten about the first one–after the Oscars), to asking ‘wtf is going on?”. The tabloids–whether Huvane is feeding them info, or them just stirring stuff up has run with that.
I remember the tabloid reports right after Jennifer and Justin got together–it was all “Jennifer feels like Justin’s ‘the one’ and she’s ready to marry him and make babies”–I kid you not….it was less than a month after Heidi moved out that these stories were cropping up.
But thank God SOMEONE took a hint–I still think they’re going to/have already broken up.
Awwwww., Aniston is so concerned about her minivan fans that read US Weekly. LOL!!!
Aniston DOES READ THE GOSSIP BLOGS AFTER ALL.
… And she reports HER personal information to the likes of US weekly. There is your PROOF that Huvane supplies trash tabloids with information, unlike the Brad/Angie, who would never feel the need to answer tabloid fodder nor stoop this low to “provide” any information directly to a tabloid. No selfies, no marketing-approved instagram pics, etc.
why bring the brange into this???
stop tie what this two seperate group do… ppl that compare anything either of these group do clearly are the ones still holding on to the boring triange
Speaking of Brange, has Jen had a nose job since 2005? Her nose looks different in that DM pic.
Josephina is a harcore brangeloonie. As someone who is 0% invested in this triangle, her posts always make me LOL. She comments on every JA and AJ article and starts foaming at the mouth when talking about the brange.
@ Henettes Yahyah AND Brown–
The tabloid junk comes from GOOP and Aniston’s pimp PR agent, Huvane. Too many of us do not have to be spoon fed the truth.
The continued name dropping comes from their PR Huvane who is obsessed with using Brad’s name to boost his so-so clients attention in the media. He writes the pages, we laugh, you read ’em, then cry “Wah!! No fair!” when everyone calls out the pattern that has existed for close to 9 years.
There is a new People piece out and it describes the party your gal Aniston had last night. The text first refers to Jen AND GOOP as Brad’s exes– NOT by who they are with now.. These birds are STILL coat-tailing Brad YEARS AFTER the demise of their relationship thanks to having the same PR agent Huvane..
Huvane does not need to prop up his other clients the way he has to prop up these two- the others can stand on their own merit.
The joke is on you birds. Your indirect passive-aggressive comments evident for all to see.
They say it’s hard out here for a pimp…haha. Huvane is a straight hustler earning his keep.
“The joke is on you birds. Your indirect passive-aggressive comments evident for all to see.”
…have you considered smoking marijuana?
Because I think it could really help you–I mean, to mellow you out, etc.
@ OKitten…I’ll fire one up with you. Josephina is on her own.
I think Jen has had at least three nose jobs since then, as well as work done on her chin and fillers in her jaws. And it is a sorry sight indeed, when Brad’s name is mentioned in the title as he no longer has anything to do with either of those women.
Josephina, Aniston and Goop are referred to as Brad’s exes because it’s notable that his exes are obviously friends. It does not mean that they are coat-tailing him, for Pete’s sake.
Well, I have enjoyed this particular exchange. I don’t smoke weed but wouldn’t mind a glass of wine. 🙂
Ah, Miss Tulip…Chardonnay or a nice Cab? I have both on hand & love to share.
Let’s see if THIS reply goes through…
I cannot STAND the smell of weed or cigarettes,so smoking will never be an option for me.
@ Holly-
Make no mistake– Huvane feeds the tabloids. In this case, PR pimp Huvane’s fingerprints are all over this “article.” To link Aniston and GOOP AND comment on how Aniston holds no grudges is lame. It is a shameless plug to show maturity, less snark from Aniston, which quickly fades once you learn Chelsea was also invited.
One last note- Just about ALL JP fans want her to STAY occupied with Justin. . It doesn’t matter to us if she marries or not. We want her as unavailable and/or permanently distracted long enough to permanently rid her desire to coattail the JPs.
+100,000
@Cecilia,
I’m not particularly a wine connoisseur so I’ll take whatever you’ve got! Come to think of it, since we are on a Jen Aniston thread perhaps we should just switch to the margaritas 🙂 I’m mixing up the pitcher now!
justin’s cousin louis theroux was also at the party, this site has more pics
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/135111/Look-Away-Brad-Pitt-Ex-Wife-Jennifer-Aniston-Parties-With-His-Ex-Fiancee-Gwyneth-Paltrow
So Brad left Paltrow 16 years ago and Aniston 9 years ago yet the gossip sites still mention his name.I wonder if Paltrow invites JLO to a party if the headlines will mention Affleck?
BTW when is Aniston due? Fans?
@Kim1-
Uh-huh. Everyone loves to drop Brad’s name in order to stay relevant.
Love Louis…He & Justin look similar. I bet there were many more people there that weren’t mentioned. She & Justin have many friends. So nice to see.
Lol at your “hidden” message.
Jennifer only has show business friends and no friends outside Hollywood. She is a user who are only friends with people who can be of use to her. Plus everyone on the party list are people from CAA.
I would rather have a few true friends then a bunch of fake friends like Jennifer.
So after everyone was convinced Jennifer and Courtney had some huge falling out and are barely speaking, it turns out they spent Thanksgiving together. When will people just accept they don’t actually know what’s going on in these celeb’s lives?
right lol.. there was an interview courtney did with the dailymail some 2 months ago where she talked about how close she and jen still were, and that they still see each other all the time or that that aniston sometimes spends weekends at her place
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2511758/Courteney-Cox-Im-trying-positive-ageing.html
I wouldn’t say that they’re not friends anymore–I think they’re more casual now. But before, they were all over the place with each other. You hardly see that anymore. Like Courtney (if I’m not mistaken) used to go to Cabo with her all the time–now it’s Chelsea who goes (for the past four years). And Courtney did give that interview, after she divorced David Arquette where she says that she’s tired of focusing on David’s problem’s, her friend’s problems i.e. being everyone’s mother (her words), and that she just wanted to focus on herself.
whatever it is they both dont seem to have a problem with it.. i mean courtney claimed recently they still very close and see each other alot *shrug*
I don’t know why her not going on an annual vacation equals not being friends. People’s lives change. Courteney now has a school-aged child. She does a fair bit of producing which keeps her busy. And she separated from David Arquette, who she always said was the only person who could get her to not be such a homebody. She goes on vacation at a different time of year now, going with Aniston probably just isn’t convenient for whatever reason.
Courteney’s always talked about how she’s a people pleaser, always going out of her way to help everyone around her. Her comments could have been about loads of people, and she was placing the blame on herself for being a bit of a busybody and getting over involved in people’s lives, not putting the blame on others. She was saying she needed to take a step back in all her personal relationships because she ends up doing everything for people whether they’re asking her to or not.
“When will people just accept they don’t actually know what’s going on in these celeb’s lives?”
THIS. thank you. and this is true for almost every celeb and celeb couple. but in this day and age, it’s “pictures or it didn’t happen”.
I never understand the overwhelming hate when I read the comments on any Jennifer Aniston thread. Yes I am a fan of hers but also I like Angelina too.
I just hope her and Justin make it. I like them together. Sounds like I am the minority here tho.
just like ppl thinking justin wasnt in LA for thanksgiving just because they saw one ig post of jennifer, ed and her manager lol
yet ed who happened to be at the part claims the party was at aniston’s house and that justin was there,
from the looks of it according to this blog by fromer magazine editor jane pratt(courtney’s friend) jen and justin were also among the guest she hanged out with at courtney cox thanksgiving party that weekend
here is the link to that post on her blog:http://www.xojane.com/phone#janes-phone/image/helllo-goodbye?query=1
This! And it’s true for pretty much ALL celebs, especially those who aren’t on twitter 24/7 and keep some of their life quiet. No one knows what really happens except those there, and people will try to read so much into a tabloid blurb or one photo.
@Josephine in regards to the comment “What you are really saying is that all of the A-listers are there for Justin!”
aniston been friends with RDJ way before she started dating theroux… i used to see article back then about how she knows him or friendly with him, i dont know how they firends or what conntects them.. its an odd thing , just like her friendship with tom hanks and rita
bateman been friends with aniston for over 20 yrs years, they both usually talk about it.. he was mentioned in one of her old interviews in the early 90s, he was with her and a group of friends skiing
well I dont think Goop knows theorux like that , courtney, tobey and chelsea are more aniston friends
form the looks of it seems aniston and theorux actually share some mutual friends even before they got together,i know laura dern who friends with aniston is also tight with justin from way back(his ex heidi is still her stylist i think)
RDJ spoke ages ago about how Aniston was one of his only celeb friends to visit him when he was in jail, so they’ve been close for a very long time now.
Oh Kate…I had forgotten all about that. How nice.
LOL Huvane to the rescue!
I was just thinking the same thing lol ;).
Ugh. We bought our first tree for the house this year – I have awful allergies so we got a $200 pre-lit thing. The puppy has chewed through the cords TWICE. Eats through the bitter apple. Fiance had put marettes one it the first time to try to fix it, but we’ve kind of just given up at this point. So disappointing. I almost wish we’d just gone with a real tree and a ton of allergy meds.
Can I give all you dog people a hint? When we have tiny tots or dogs we do a table tree. We get a short, fat noble fir, maybe four foot tall and put it on a table. After you get the skirt on and put all your gifts under the table you can hardly tell. It absolutely takes away the puppies vs. tree thing.
If you have cats, this does not apply. Gives you space for your presents, though. This solution made me a lot happier during the season because I didn’t have to have tree anxiety.
Except if you have a cat that chews through cords- like my Birman does. 🙁
See my family has always been really lucky–we have a mini English bulldog, and she is the BEST. She doesn’t chew up your stuff, she doesn’t try and snatch stuff off the tree or anything. But our CAT! Oh. My. God. Emma is BAD. If she sees something that she wants, she WILL get it–we can’t leave food on the stove or the countertops or the table because Emma jumps on the table to get it. So I can only imagine what she would do to a tree.
But this year we’re just putting lights up.
Get a Charlie Brown Christmas tree–we did one year. It was wonderful–I don’t mind decorating for Christmas, but I’m always the one who ends up having to take it all down, so I hate putting them up now.
Our dog never bothered our tree it’s my 16 lb cat that does all the damage, she broke the old fake tree and she completely destroyed my expensive tree skirt and forget about putting ribbon on packages because she it’s eat, which is dangerous for animals. But I love her…most days:)
Yes, yes, halleluyah! Marry you crazy kids! And peace to all.
Don’t let me down Justin. Follow through.
Curious what will happen with US Weekly’s “jen’s pregnant!” story. Clearly they were wrong (which, as a defender of US Weekly as a mostly accurate tab, disappoints me greatly). Is everyone just going to forget it happened and go back to planting/running/denying stories again? Curious.
Well Jenhens claim she IS pregnant based on the placement of the seatbelt in the pics from the Christmas Tree shopping tree.So maybe UsWeekly was right.I can’t wait to see pics.Hope it’s a girl.Fingers crossed
I hope you are kidding. It has been months since that story and there are pics of her at the spa with no bump in sight. It would have grown a little if US was right!
Not kidding I haven’t studied the pics but apparently the seatbelt is higher on her shoulder because if the baby bump.They say there hasn’t been a clear pic of her stomach because she has been wearing loose or bulky clothes.I guess they need to see her in a bikini.
Jane Pratt from xoJane also confirmed that Justin was at Thanksgiving, along with Courtney Cox, Sasha Baron Cohen/Isla Fisher and Ed Sheeran. http://www.xojane.com/phone#janes-phone/image/helllo-goodbye?query=1
I was kind of hoping they would get a Justice of the Peace and tie the knot at this party. Surprise!
That would have been awesome.
The real news is Courtney Cox was there, are they BBF again?
Jen just seems so much like the cheerleader in high school, the one that hangs out with people when they are in the ‘in’ crowd. She just comes across as very ‘vanilla’, I’m yet to see socialising with a person of color. She seems to be a lot like Oprah, who seems disloyal. When you’re in, she’s on your side, but when you fall, she dissappears. I want to like her, I honestly do, but I find her annoying. I think her fans would be surprised to find out that she is the person they accuse Jolie of being – pretentious, fake, snobbish, does things only for pr.
+1
Well, if the commenter above is correct, RDJ said Jen was one of the only Hollywood people who visited him when he was in prison. If that’s true, it does change my opinion of her for the better.
http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0051464/
That’s really sweet of her–I didn’t know that they were actually friends. I knew Justin knew RDJ, but not that he knew Jennifer. So I wonder why she wasn’t at Susan’s b-day party then.
Agree – everything Jen’s fans accuse Angelina of like vain, narcissistic, selfish, home wrecker, user etc can be used to describe Jennifer – she is like this in real life plus she is a bitch as well who doesn’t hesitate to fight dirty to get what she wants. Many people have started to realise that hence the reason that Angelina is getting more and more popular and liked while Jennifer is going downhill both with her career and popularity.
Yeah, nothing says narcissistic bitch like secretly visiting a guy in jail to try to help him out.
Any idea on Courtney Cox’s new man? David Arquette said she was in a loving relationship.
Why oh why Jen has anything to do with Gwynnie P. is beyond me.
Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow have the same publicist , as does Chelsea Handler. They invite each other to different parties and events and they all get publicity. Win, win.
Thanks, I didn’t know that.
Yep, she has no *real* friends, they’re only fellow CAA clients who Huvane makes her nix with.
@ Paloma
Not sure who Courtney’s guy is. He doesn’t look familiar to me, but he looks mighty fine.
I agree! Eye candy ….
his name is johnny mcdaid , he is a music writer and producer and his producing ed Sheeran new album.. i guess thats how ed knows courtney and jennifer
http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/entertainment/news/exclusive-courteney-cox-s-mystery-date-pal-jennifer-aniston-s-party-revealed
Ed lives in Courtney’s guest house
Well, good for CC. I hope JA supports CC too. Sometimes it seems, imho, that Jen hones in on CC’s honors, happenings and new connections when it best suits her (and forgets when CC might need her)…and makes it all about herself (Jen) in the process. Stealing your friend’s thunder is really no friend.
Thank you, yehyeh!!
The way Jennifer got very teary-eyed on Chelsea Lately when talking about her new engagement I hope they make it too. She really seemed to love him.
I remember seeing a brief clip of that. Very sweet & seemed sincere. I think this party & Thanksgiving definitely put to rest that CDAN blind about Justin & Chelsea. Wonder what kind of garbage they will come up with next.
She doesn’t act like it though–and I’m referring to the issue of where to live. Because you can be in love with someone, with ever fiber of your being–but if you can’t compromise, then all bets are off. My parents are going through that right now. My mom absolutely HATES it where I live. She hates it. She’s been telling my dad for the 7/10 years that we’ve been here that she wants to leave. But he keeps finding reasons to stay, and isn’t working on leaving here like he said he was i.e. finding a job in a diff. state.
There can’t only be one person who makes all of the concessions–from the public view, it’s Justin who’s doing all of that. Whenever he goes to NY, it’s because he’s working (his tv show) or she’s working in a diff. state (she was in Georgia for We’re the Millers), so he goes and hangs out w/Uncle Terry.
So I think based on that, that’s why they would (have) split. Because he changed everything for her—she made him over, didn’t work, and basically was at her beck and call for 2 and a half years, up until he got that tv job. She hasn’t changed one iota of her routine to include something that Justin likes–that I’ve seen.
So it doesn’t work when one person gives, gives, gives, and the other person just takes. Which seems to be the case here.
We don’t even know if that’s what’s really happening. The rags are talking about no compromise situations, but Jen & Justin certainly aren’t. From what we are seeing right now, it looks like the split, no compromise etc. aren’t quite true. None of us know what really goes on with them & you can bet that they want to keep it that way.
Virg I think you rely a little too much on tabloid gossip for your opinions. How do you know what compromises he has made or what her routine is?
Maggie, she speculates, like most people on gossip boards. Actually, you do the same thing when you say that some couple is just together for kids; the couple, that has, in your words, “0 % chance of staying together”. You don’t think you relay a little too much on tabloid gossip also?
My opinion doesn’t come from tabloid gossip at all. It’s just from what I’ve seen of this relationship. In early 2011, Jennifer moved to New York and gave a few interviews about how she was going back to her roots (she lived in NY when she was a kid for a few years), going to do some plays, get out of LA, etc. So she bought a few apartments/condos and set up camp—and stayed long enough for Justin to dump Heidi, and then she was out of there within a month or two of them becoming an official couple.
Then she made Justin over–he had a fake orange tan, his eye brows were waxed, he had a bald spot that was fixed, and he was wearing mascara on red carpets. It looked awful–he looked like a plastic, orange ken doll. During this time–Justin didn’t work. He was following her around, when she wasn’t working, doing things she liked to do—shopping, spa, Cabo, going out to dinner, etc. Now I’m not saying that it’s wrong–but those are things that she likes to do.
I say that she can’t compromise about going to NY, because he’s been filming in NY for most of fall/late summer, and she hasn’t been pictured there once. Maybe I’m wrong, and the paps caught pictures of her–but I haven’t seen her visit him in NY yet. Whenever Jennifer is working–NY is where he goes…..like I said before, when she was filming We’re the Millers in Georgia–he was pictured in NY, hanging out w/Terry Richardson. She wants to do what she wants to do.
They don’t ever vacation in Hawaii (Heidi gave an interview shortly before she and Justin broke up, about their vacation–said they went snorkeling,etc), we don’t see them coming out of plays in NY, or coming out of some dive bar with a group of his friends.
This isn’t something new, that we’ve heard from anyone who’s dated her. John Mayor told the paps that she was boring, stuck in the 90s, and that he was too young to sit around in a kitchen and play with dogs all day.
And the tabloids didn’t start coming out with those stories, until she got snippy and said that her wedding wasn’t being delayed for any reason–after collaborating with PEOPLE for that second article that said that her wedding was being put off because she was ‘busy’.
Like I said, it’s my opinion. It’s what I see.
Virg, they’ve been to Hawaii and to Europe. There are pictures of them vacationing there. I go to the same place in Mexico every year because I like it there and it’s a quick trip for me. Just because you dont see pics of them coming out of plays doesn’t mean they don’t ever go. and as far as this Heidi person …….how do you know they werent broken up long before she moved out? My ex lived with me for six months before actually moving out. New York isnt the easiest place to find a decent apartment. I’m in a different relationship now and my ex still will come for Thanksgiving and Xmas if he is alone. Not all relationships end badly.
Mayal, yes I speculate too but what i said about the other couple was based on facts not tabloid gossip.
They’ve been living apart. That’s not speculation.
Okay Maggie–about Hawaii–I just googled it and it said they went to Hawaii for a mutual friend’s (Christine Taylor’s–Ben Stiller’s wife right?) birthday party. Okay–that’s not really a vacation for them–like going to Cabo on a whim–but I’ll take it. I didn’t know that, or I forgot it.
You say that just because we don’t see them doing it, doesn’t mean that they aren’t doing things that Justin likes–which is true. But how is it that beyond that trip to Hawaii and Europe (which both trips were before Wanderlust went out on dvd, according to popsugar), we don’t ever see any other pics of them doing different things? So the paps always manage to catch them doing things that Jennifer likes–but when they catch Justin doing something HE likes, then he’s always alone.
And Heidi is the one who said that they were together for 14 years, when she moved out. There were rumors for about two months before Heidi moved out, which said that Jennifer and Justin were together. Not once did Justin ever say that he and Heidi were in an on and off relationship, or that they were broken up and she was staying with him until she could get a new place. Not once. He didn’t say anything. He had Heidi’s mom going around, telling PEOPLE and radaronline that Jennifer and Justin were just friends. Jennifer was running to PEOPLE saying that she wouldn’t date a guy with a girlfriend.
If he and Heidi weren’t together during all that, then Justin/Heidi would’ve said something. And also, fun fact: about a month or so before Justin broke up with Heidi officially, she gave an interview about the yearly vacation that she and Justin had just gone on.
And when I asked you about what facts you had about the ‘other couple’ not even being a couple anymore, all you said was something about them being a brand and there being a lot of money involved with them staying together. Which is true. But up until recently, they have never been more than a few days apart from each other. They’re only apart now because Universal moved up the filming schedule. So that’s not their fault. So what facts do you have, that would support your thoughts about them only being together for their kids. Because you can say that about almost anyone.
Maggie, what you are saying is just amazing; just read what you wrote about this couple and compare what you write about the other couple – you write absolute opposite things from the same information, or the lack of the information. You don’t know either of them, but you like one couple so you give them all the benefit of the doubt and wish them well, and you dislike the other and you make only negative assumptions about the same things. I can’t believe that you can’t see how utterly unobjective you are – it’s ridiculous. It’s not that you are alone on this site, but for this particular case, it’s just mind boggling.
Mayal this isnt about liking one over the other. My comment was based on stats not gossip. Your assumption is amazing!
maggie, again–what stats, do you have? Because what you’ve said about A/B can be said of ANY couple–especially in Hollywood. You said that there’s a lot of money involved w/them being together. That’s true. But that’s also true of any other celeb couple–like Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. But I don’t see you going on their posts and say that you think they’re going to split up. Something else is influencing your opinion–you say it’s not tabloids or gossip–I’m asking you what is it? Because if you have something to say, I would love to hear it.
What I want to know is, did she really have paparazzi at her house to photograph all of her guests arriving?! Crazy. She claims to hate the press/paparazzi, yet constantly uses them to her benefit all the time :S.
I’m pretty sure she invited E! (or was it PEOPLE) to her 40th birthday party (the party that was covered in the 5 years after Brad cover of PEOPLE)–the same party that she invited Chelsea Handler to, for the first time.
I read that the paps were waiting at the cross street & in the bushes. No paps were inside the gates. Jen has this party every year & the paps were waiting.
If the paps were at her house waiting why aren’t there any other pictures of Jen going to and from home? And how did they know what day the party was?
Agreed littlestar and Christina.
Now i understand why Theroux took the opportunity, left her GF for 14 years and hooked up with aniston, clearly it was a career move. He was hanging out with more famous and bigger HW stars like Downey , bateman, etc. and he is like a nobody compared to them. Now that he is with Aniston he has become famous as mr. jennifer Aniston and even landed People mag sexiest list.
Too bad, his career has not taken off even with aniston’s help of signing him with CAA, yeah he has that HBO thing but nothing big. i guess, the guy will forever be a struggling actor especially he is middle age already. i suppose, Aniston cant do much for him, her own career is going nowhere also, still doing those crappy comedies up to now. No wonder they keep on throwing parties, i am sure to get more clout in HW and still land roles.
You got it in one. It was a coupling of convenience from day one. Justin was chasing fame and fortune and he cheated on his partner of 14 years to get it. If anyone thinks Anthrax were a genuine couple and in love they need their head read.
Justin never needed Aniston’s connections. His are much better. If anything, she has damaged his image because she’s so mainstream. That being said, he does seem to like the increased visibility so who knows. I like them as a couple and hope they stay together. RDJ and Justin are friends, it has nothing to do with Aniston. It wouldn’t surprise me if Chris Martin is Justin’s friend as well and that’s why he and Gwyneth were there. I don’t see him even wanting to hang out with her and her Huvane buddies but she would totally go with him to something like this. And bringing up Brad Pitt says more about how tabloids are than it does about Gyneth and Aniston. I have a feeling Brad is nowhere on the list of topic they discuss, but diet, exercise and hair are. I clicked over to those pictures and the least surprising thing about them is that Chelsea Handler arrived by herself. I can’t fathom why anyone wants her around.
Justin was never on Ellen,Kimmel,etc before Aniston.He never was profiled in People Magazine or a GQ cover before Aniston.So he has benefited greatly from his relationship including signing with his new agency.He had all these connections I.e. RDJ yet he was on the C list.Now he is termed A list or part of Power couple.
You know what sounds like soooo much fun? So exciting? Something that would really get me in the holiday spirit? Going to a Christmas tree lot, getting whisked into a private tent, and spending 5 minutes looking at trees. That sounds fab.
I think half the reason I read this blog is to remember that celebs do NOT have enviable lifestyles. My kids spent almost an hour running around the Christmas tree lot. We had a blast.
But you’re forgetting this is Aniston. Everything she does is the best ever!™, even the drive-thru equivalent of picking out a X-mas tree.
Jennifer is such a pushover, first the guy is probably using he, and worse… so is her agent forcing her to support Gwyneth publicly! Well, not sure about first, just a hunch – but second part is fact. Jen actually appreciates her PR team though and Gwyneth STILL doesn’t 🙂 even after the VF win! Write letter to editor at VF people – truth should come out! Anyway, wish Jen the best but she is really acting way up and down lately- something is going on. Hmmm? Hope it’s really just ticked about the Gwyniie BS, and wondering if she is in another deadend relationship..nothing worse. (And I am not really a fan at all but she is nice 🙂
I think they match, they are people who like to make friends, especially famous, I do not see Jennifer mainly relate too or her family or with people of another profession, I think most are actors, makeup artists, agents, and helps much when everyone is CAA has the same agent, C. Cox is also like a friend of a lot of famous people. and Justin also seems to be a person who likes to take care of the appearance, which is closest famous friends than family, Cousin to be famous of course be invited … lol … kidding …. is their friends are always famous, most blondes and whites, women think it is
a prerequisite to join the group … lol I think they are similar and so will last a long time together and they seem to have the same desires. And
Denzel Washington: “I Don’t Want Movie Star Friends” Because “I’m Not a Butt Kisser”
“Actually, even within the industry, I don’t have any actor friends. My friends are old friends. One’s an ex-music guy, the other’s a restaurant owner and the other’s an ex-pro ballplayer.”
When asked why he didn’t have many friends among his colleagues, Washington snapped, “Because I don’t make friends! Maybe I’m not a butt-kisser, maybe I’m not a schmoozer. I’m not about to go to a party to try to get a job. And then when you have children, the other friends become other parents. We’d coach baseball or basketball. My wife and I were raised right. I don’t want movie-star friends. And being African American, there were no big movie stars to hang out with anyway, not when I was starting out, they were just the third guy from the back! For whatever reason, I never befriended any white actors.”
A gossip tabloid blurb about a party is only going to mention the famous guests. Happens every time they report on some event or gathering like that – weddings, baby showers, fundraisers, etc. You’ll get a rundown of the famous attendees and that’s it.
Gwyneth and Jennifer have been buds since Thanksgiving 2009 when they got paid for that hotel opening gig. Orlando Bloom tagged along too…..Huvane peeps.
http://www.parade.com/239973/erinhill/jennifer-aniston-my-30s-awkward-phase/
Parade Mag. Her thirties were awkward and she might direct a feature film next year…..
She feels beautiful whenever she is with her fiancee? No more girl empowerment messages from a few years ago, like her ” you don’t need a man to feel beautiful or happy” mantra? Lol!
This is what happens when Aniston “freestyles” an answer!
Careful now, if you keep bringing out the glaring hypocrisies and conflicting statement that Aniston puts in print, the JenHens will start cuckling. LOL!!
She usually speaks better and makes more sense when Huvane is standing right next to her with his hand on her back or neck…
So, Parade isn’t going to mention the fact that Jennifer went on Marie Claire and said that she had extensions in her hair for years–which is why she turned to Living Proof in the first place.
Or the conflicting story about her haircuts?
I wonder if it’s going to be Goree Girls? I saw on wikipedia a few months ago, that the annoying blonde girl off of iCarly was going to be in the movie.
So I guess we’ll FINALLY get to see if Jennifer the director is better than Jennifer the actor.
@VC-
You already KNOW the answer…
The most interesting part is that Courtney was at the party. It seems like she and Jennifer haven’t been seen together in years.
I don’t know anything about their relationship but Jennifer and Justin being seen together doesn’t mean much. Just before she broke-up with Vince Vaughn and John Mayer there were a few public and private sightings before the announcement. For some reason she likes to make a show of how happy in love they are just to breakup a week later. Or she and Justin could be happy and in love.
Honestly, they should give it up. Its obvious they are only together at Huvane’s insistence. They are the phoniest ‘couple’ ever.
Oh, Sal. You may be the angriest person I have ever encountered. Part of me is afraid of you and the other part just wants to give you a big hug.
lol Holly, you crack me up. Honey, trust me, I am far from angry. But you seem obsessed with me for some reason. You seem very bitter. pmsl
You win the internets, Sal. Aniston and her fans are racist, sad and desperate and you’re made of sunshine!
I wish Jennifer would try for once not to wear black eyeliner on the insides of her eyes and around the entire eye. Does she not know that that choice makes her eyes look smaller? I don’t get it. It’s just so stark and ugly to me.
-enya.
