Star: Angelina Jolie & Jennifer Aniston ‘hate each other and always will’

wenn22073585

Last week’s Critics Choice Awards was the first time Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie had been at the same event at the same time since 2009. So you didn’t really think the tabloids were going to let it go, did you? NO. Especially since the tabloids have been dining out on Triangle Drama for the past decade. What makes it especially awkward this week is that Jennifer has taken pains in two separate interviews to try to distance herself from the Triangle Drama. She complimented Angelina Jolie on Unbroken, and she sounded conciliatory toward Brad and Angelina in her THR interview. But what if all was not well? What if Jennifer and Angelina still held grudges against one another? That “what if” scenario is where Star Magazine would like to take you…

Neither of them was a winner, but Jennifer Aniston and Angelina were still the most talked-about nominees at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Jan. 15. And they both knew it.

“Angie and Jen had their teams make sure that they wouldn’t cross paths,” says an insider, who adds that, weeks earlier, Jen even demanded to see a seating chart – just to make sure she’d be sitting nowhere near her ex-husband’s current wife.

Before they even got to their seats, there was drama on the red carpet. Angelina attended the event solo, but just as she was about to slip out of black SUV, she spotted Jen, posing just a few feet away with Justin Theroux.

“Angie was fuming,” says a source. Angelina was already “upset” that Brad had refused to break another commitment to join her. “She had been told a specific time to be there and felt like organizers intentionally put her in Jen’s path in order to get more attention for the awards.”

According to the insider, Angelina refused to get out of the SUV until Jen and Justin were out of sight. And she remained in a bad mood all night.

“Angie didn’t seem happy to be there. She didn’t make an effort to talk to anyone there unless they approached her. She never smiled. She was very cold.”

Jen, on the other hand, seemed to overcompensate. “It was clear that Jen wanted to stand out and be the center of attention. She tried to talk to all the A-listers and constantly smiled, to the point that she appeared fake. She also kept eyeing Angie. It was as if she wanted to be seen as the more loved of the two.”

Adds the insider, “Jen and Angelina never spoke to each other, but you could tell they were very aware of each other’s presence. You could really sense the tension between them.”

The insider also says that Jen and Angie hope to never attend the same event again: “Their animosity is baffling, but the truth is, they hate each other and always will.”

Before you completely dismiss this out of hand, let me just say this: there was definitely some coordination between the two camps to ensure that the two women did not come face-to-face. Giuliana Rancic said as much on E! News when she and the E! guys were dissecting the event, talking about the way Angelina glided onto the red carpet at the precise moment Justin and Jennifer walked off. And yes, I think one or both of them requested to be seated far away from the other. So I have to beg the question: WHY? If they’re supposedly cool with each other, why all of the stage-management? My theory: despite Jennifer’s new-found generosity with Angelina, they’re both still holding significant grudges.

As for the rest of it… I’m including some photos of Angelina interacting with people below. She seemed happy and she posed with lots of people. I also think it was a sign of strength (in The Mean Girl Wars) to come to the event without her husband. It says, “I don’t need a security blanket. I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone.” But of course I would say that, I’m a Brangeloonie. (Also: Ethan Hawke looked like he was trying to homewreck Angelina’s marriage.)

    If there was that much drama and tension surrounding my interaction with another person I would want to avoid him or her too. I think playing up the drama so much may be a self fulfilling prophecy in some ways.

    • Sarah says:

      I agree. They can not really want the discomfort of having to make pleasant conversation without having to still “hold a major grudge.” Plus, if they do come face to face or sit together, their body language would be dissected all night long.

    • Susiecue says:

      I was just about to post something to the same effect: they possibly just didn’t want to feed the tabloid machine. Any interaction between them would have been completely blown up and overanalyzed, probably for years to come.

    • laura in LA says:

      Exactly.

      I think JA’s people, like Huvane, are the ones continuing to feed the media with these stories. Wasn’t it just a few days ago that she said there was no more strife? And now this…

      I seriously doubt that AJ even cares, given that I haven’t heard her talk about it in any interviews, but it’s understandable why she avoids JA. What else is she going to do?

      Sometimes the only way to deal with it is to ignore, ignore, ignore.

      • fritanga says:

        Right. I think they really don’t give a rat’s ass about each other at all, but Aniston’s PR people seem to think that flogging the “poor sad Jen” angle endlessly is “good” for her career and image. Don’t know why she doesn’t put a stop to it, because after 10 or 15 or 1000 years (what is it now?), it’s really grown tiresome.

  2. lisa2 says:

    Never get why they have to be “cool with each other” they don’t run in the same circles. Brad didn’t have children with his ex wife. They don’t have a business together. So why do they as EXs have to be friends or friendly. I remember Nick Lachay saying he and Jessica are not friends. Hell Nicole Kidman and Tom have children and you have not seen them together.

    There are loads of pictures and video of Angie smiling, laughing and talking to lots of people. She was walking around mingling with many so no STAR needs to check for pics before writing their stories.

    People have so allusion that everyone in Hollywood know each other. It is always interesting when you hear a celebrity say they have never met this person or that one. The Tabloids have not been writing that many stories over the last few years about them as a triangle. But now that is and will change again. Just like it did 7 years ago.

    • Kori says:

      It’s so true. Why on Earth would they want to add to the circus by appearing together? Doesn’t mean they hate each other. But yes, have you ever seen Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes together–even at the same event? Some exes are super-friendly and that’s fine. But I think most are civil but that’s it (at best) and don’t need run-ins and photo-ops with their exes or their ex’s partners (current or former).

    • someonestolemyname says:

      Well stated. +1000

    • FLORC says:

      lisa2
      Nicole and Tom are not at all the same as any case here. Nicole can’t even see her children anymore because they’ve been brainwashed to hate her. She’s labeled oppressive or whatever it is. And Kidman has to speak well of tom at the very least. There’s a sinister angle at play here called scientology.
      And Katie and Nicole have never been near eachother post Tom that’s been reported. I think that’s calculated for their protection.

      • mayamae says:

        @FLORC, it’s (SP) suppressive person. Bella has come back into Nicole’s life since she’s come of age, but I’m not so sure about Connor.

      • FLORC says:

        That’s right. Ty for the correction. And while Bella has come back she also hasn’t. She can call her from (likely) tapped phones and Nicole has to be very restricted in what she does and says.

  3. Erm, I think the tabs got it wrong. Maybe it’s just because of coverage, but I barely saw any pics of Jennifer. I saw basically her on the RC, and a few with her and Justin inside, and one pic of her and Emily Blunt. Jennifer seemed to stay put. I saw a lot more of Angelina–she seemed to be greeting a whole lot more people….Patricia Arquette, Reese Witherspoon, Eddie Redmayne, Ethan Hawke (YES, he’s trying to homewreck her marriage, lol), etc.

    And all I got out of this story was that first picture–Justin’s hair looks so fluffy.

    • someonestolemyname says:

      +1000

      LOL on Ethan Hawke comment.
      ….have to admit he was excellent in BoyHood though. Really well done, well acted.

      • Andrea1 says:

        Ethan is So smitten with Angie.
        So is everyone who meets her. She isn’t the devil the media paints her to be.
        Angie has got no time for petty gossip! The woman doesn’t engage nor has she denied tabloid stories.. She’s got much more important things to do she is also busy setting records for women in the industry

    • agreed says:

      YaeS.
      Angie was told the most crowded person and unofficially social chairman in this year’s CCA. Many tweets and articles said that most critics and people wanted to take a pic with Angie. So we can see that. There are so many pics with Angie. She’s humble and real-down to earthe woman.

      BUT Jen Anniston? Who took picture with her? Emily B, J Gomez and J Moore? Her table was told lonely and put back.

      This garbage seems from J Anniston’s camp. It’s so transparent.

  4. Maria says:

    Not even close to related to this story but I’ve always thought Angie had cute teeth 😏

    As for the story: balls.

  5. Erinn says:

    I don’t know. I think it’s probably best for everyone to just avoid eachother. There are people who I really just try my best to avoid. It doesn’t mean that I’m actively holding a grudge, or that I actively hate them. Sometimes when things go down, there’s never a normal level of ‘closure’ for whatever reason and being forced to be in the same situation just kind of causes needless stress. Sometimes it’s easier to just avoid the negative feelings – especially when you’re not around each other often at all.

    • launicaangelina says:

      I agree with your comment.

    • FLORC says:

      I’m editing an above comment because you said it so very well Erinn!
      It comes down to closure. I don’t think Aniston ever really sought that.
      And I would be weary if I was Jolie of Aniston. More that here’s a woman that actively disliked me and encouraged her friend to trash me. The red carpet just isn’t the place to pretend like you’ve forgiven and hug.
      And I doubt Brad and drama aaside these women would be friends or even lke eachother casually. They’re both so different.

  6. MrsBPitt says:

    OMG…Angelina looks so cold, and like she is keeping her distance from everyone, in those pictures where she is smiling and taking pictures with people! I’m sure AJ and JA, tried to stay out of each others way, too much water under that bridge…but the rest of that story is bullcrap! After all, it’s Star Magazine….”nuff” said!

    • Amcn says:

      Didn’t one of the industry mags call her the unofficial social chair? Everyone was coming to her table and all the critics were trying to get selfies with her. I don’t think see seemed cold and it was the right move for Brad not to come. That helped temper some of the gossip.

  7. paola says:

    If my husband left me for another woman and there were no children involved I wouldn’t want to be involved with them ever again. I mean.. life goes on.. the world is big enough for all of us and after ten years I would probably give a damn anymore but still I wouldn’t want to be linked to them in any way.

  8. Maya says:

    Frankly I think it was brilliant of Brad and Angelina to make sure Angelina attended alone.

    Angelina has always been strong woman who handles things herself. She has been like that since her father left and she had to help the family financially. She has also been unnessasarily attacked by media and some other vicious people and yet she has risen above that while maintaining her class and dignity.

    Secondly it also showed those so called girl’s girls that it is not Brad that makes the Brangelina respected, admired and powerful within hollywood. Angelina didn’t move from her seat but many people came to her. Whether people like it or not – Angelina is a force to be reckoned with and has very powerful female friends with Hollywood who supports her.

    As for Jennifer – I won’t fault her for bringing Justin. This was her first award show in years and it’s always good to have your partner with you unless they have prior engagement. Plus to me Jennifer has always seemed needy and insecure individual. Remember the time when John Mayer dumped her and yet Jennifer got together with him because she needed a date for the Oscars?

    Angelina might hold a grudge against Jennifer for the way Jennifer manipulated the media and got her friends to attack Angelina and her children.

    Jennifer might hold a grudge because Angelina is married to Brad, 6 gorgeous children and enviable career that just keeps getting better and better.

    • Mar says:

      Agree. I thought Brad not being there was strategic.

    • Debbie says:

      Sorry but you are way to involved in this. And projecting to much of your own stuff on these people.

      I think your pretty much wrong on all points and these people are just people one isn’t stronger or better then the other. They are just who they are.

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        I’m glad somebody said it! These daily dissertations on the glory of Angie and EvilJen are exhausting.

      • Ennie says:

        Debbie, read more comments on this thread, or maybe other sites too. There are people from the two “sides” way too involved in this 10 year old affair. That is why it keeps selling.
        I would dare to say that the first people projecting were the wronged women who felt an affinity for what Aniston was selling at the time (Vogue interview). They bought it so hard that when she got on with Justin, they still justify it.

      • jessia says:

        When people don’t have anything going on in their lives, they resort to this kind of obsession. Maya doesn’t know any Brad, Angelina or Jennifer at all. How can she go around making accusations about people she doesn’t know personally? Its very stupid.
        What have either of those 3 people done for you to either blindly love or hate them? What do you gain out of being obsessed with the lives of 3 people you don’t know personally?
        I don’t think any of them care about you or how you defend 2 of them while hating on 1 other one. You sound obsessed and immature. Get out more!
        If you know what celebrity worship syndrome is, I think you have it.

      • maeliz says:

        Some of these commenters seem to go overboard on this. Unless someone knows Angelina or Jennifer,they only know what they’ve read over the past 10 long years and don’t know if it’s ever true. Angelina and Brad would roll their eyes at some of the things people write if they gave damn to read. Time to move on from the soap opera the media and fans created

      • lisa2 says:

        @goats on the roof.

        maybe since Angelina has been painted as the evil one for near 10 years.. some people are just trying to balance the narrative. Were you equally exhausted for all of those years too.

        I’ve been posting on this site for a number of years. But I don’t ever recall the level of exhaustion I see people talking about when Angelina was on the other end of these kinds of comments. I guess the Angie and Brad fans have much more stamina and are able to handle the weight of such negative. We have for far longer than the Aniston fans. She has only gotten a bit of negative in the last 2 or so years. But her fans just get so exhausted over it. Try 10 years..

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        Um, Lisa…your comment is exactly what I’m talking about. You come across as entirely too over-invested. You don’t know these people, you don’t know their day-to-day lives. They don’t need you writing sermons on the daily to “balance the narrative” and defend their honor. It’s just too much.

        Also, I have no dog in this fight. Liked Jen on Friends, haven’t really watched any of her movies. Don’t care much for Angie’s acting but love that she’s so devoted to her children and humanitarian causes. I think they’re both just people, and neither one is better than the other in my eyes.

      • TheOnlyDee says:

        I would dare to say that the first people projecting were the wronged women who felt an affinity for what Aniston was selling at the time (Vogue interview).

        Ennie: this makes a lot of sense. I get why people don’t like her, I just don’t get why people hate her. I don’t get why people hate any celebrity that hasn’t done something awful… think Polanksi or Gibson. I still think the Cumberbatch comments are way weirder, and most of you gals seem cool, so carry on.

      • Janie says:

        Goats on the Roof, “and defend their honor” tell that to Aniston fans who were the ones who created the 2 camps in the first place, because they felt they had to rush to poor widdle Jen’s defence and defend her honor.

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        @Janie
        Yes, the Team Angie and Team Jen camps popped up following the divorce. Yes, Team Jen initially had more support. That’s because, whether true or not, it very much appeared that Brad cheated on her. That was a DECADE ago. No need to carry on the stupidity here in 2015.

      • Janie says:

        Agreed but its still the Team Aniston people who continue it, who still INSIST there was an affair and make everything into a competition, still, in 2015. I was reading one of the E! stories about the Oscar nominations and Jen fans still to this day, STILL go on about Team Jen and say things like “Sad about Jen but I’m glad Jolie didn’t get nominated either – TEAM ANISTON FOREVER ” and stuff like that. Seriously, find any article on either Jen or Angelina, the first you come across, and its the same thing always. Its always the Jen fans either post one word (“Homewrecker!”) on Angelina threads and “Team Jen!!” or stupid teenage bs like that. It is ALWAYS the Jen fans who drag it up. Always. As you said, it was a decade ago. So why can’t they leave Angelina alone?!?

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        Sorry, Janie, but you are dead wrong. It’s over-invested people on BOTH sides who continue it. For every post critical of Angie from someone who likes Jen, there’s one praising Angie and calling Jen horrible names. It’s both sides, and saying, “They started it!” is just a second-grade mentality. It’s high time a lot of people grew up and moved on.

      • Janie says:

        No, I’m right, sorry but you are absolutely dead wrong and if you find any tabloid/blog article on them, it will always be the Jen fans that bring it up first, and the Angelina fans RESPOND. This is fact.

      • Josephina says:

        Debbie and EVERY Aniston apologist-

        You DO NOT HAVE A PLATFORM if there was no cheating…

        Overly invested? PFFFFT. That’s what JenHens say when the evidence of Aniston’s stalking keeps proving abundantly evident.

        Brad does not concern himself with Jennifer’s welfare. She is NOT:

        -the love of his life
        -object of his affection
        -his lover
        -part of his family
        -mother of his chiIdren
        – partner in life
        -best friend
        -confidant

        Aniston has a NEED to be associated with her ex-husband while engaged to be married to another man WHILE BFF says vile things live and in print about ex-husband’s wife and children. Same BFF became with friends 4-5 years post-divorce and has never met the wife.

        As long as Aniston prefers to talk lovingly about a man who publicly chased, wooed, romanced, procreated and married another woman and managed NOT to be seen with Aniston on ANY level- I have no problem commenting about her neurotic state of mind.

        She gives us fresh new material from EVERY interview.

        SHE. WON’T. LET. GO.

      • jessia says:

        @ Josephina. Thank you for just showing yourself to be too invested in this matter.
        You are calling anyone who disagrees with you a “JenHen’ and going on a long-winded rant trying to prove a point, in which you also fall into. Both sides are obessed. Angie fans especially on CB. Brad, Angie and Jen don’t care about you at all or even know you exist. What do you gain from being obsessed with these 3? You look and sound unstable and insane right now. You honestly look silly for defending 2 people so passionately while hating on the other with such venom. You don’t know these people at all. Why do you care so much for all 3 of them?
        Have you ever heard of celebrity worship syndrome? Because I think some of the fans from both sides has it. I think people like you and Maya suffer from it.
        Its you guys who won’t let go.

      • Amcn says:

        I love Internet therapists who come on here to diagnose why people post and what it must say about their personal lives. It’s posts like these that I find truly tedius. If you don’t care to read the same arguments over and over then skip the JA and AJ thread. Don’t come around with the judgy comments and try to make people you don’t know seem pathetic. Isn’t that what you are accusing them of doing?? Makes me think you are projecting on them.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Debbie, @Goats on the Roof (who is probably also @Jessia), @Jessia (who is probably also @Goats on the Roof), and @TheOnlyDee, who wrote: “Ennie: this makes a lot of sense. I get why people don’t like her, I just don’t get why people hate her.”

        People who call Jennifer Aniston out for her manipulative PR stunts don’t hate her or even necessarily dislike her … they’re just calling her out for her manipulative PR stunts, just like they do with any other celebrity. What I don’t get is why Jennifer Aniston is considered such a special case that people feel she should be excluded from such gossip. I also don’t get why these people accuse anyone who comments on her hairstyle or the color of her outfit or the styles of clothing that she wears of being ‘mean to her.’

        Where was your ‘unbiased’ concern and comments when people were commenting here (and nearly everywhere else) not too long ago that Angelina Jolie was a home wrecking, brother kissing, junkie whQre who looks like she smells bad? Now ‘that’s’ what you call ‘being mean’ to someone.

      • Josephina says:

        @Jessia-

        Aw… You can cry on my shoulder and I will massage your back until you burp.

        If you wanna defend a 46 year old TV actress that makes consistently poor choices in men, roles and scripts, have at it.

        Without the illusion of a homewrecker swooping to take Brad away from confident, charismatic, hot Jen (LOL, I am cracking up as I write this) YOU are left to deal with reality– that marriage went as far as it could go, it really had reached a dead end. Brad moved on happily and is fulfilled; Jen is still searching for nirvana ten years later.

        Don’t get mad ’cause ole girl told everyone she saves Brad’s voicemails, and allows her life to be defined by her divorce. She set the bar low ALL on her own. She wasted YEARS dating douche after douche after douche.

      • Onthefly says:

        ITA with what Debbie and Jessia said. They were perfectly rational on how absurd these elaborate and long-winding comments on celebrities are. I don’t recall them pointing out how only one group of fans are irrational and the others aren’t. They made a blanket point on how any kind of absolute celebrity worship is unhealthy; how these people are human after all and no one us “know” them personally. So, it is laughable how people are branding them as “JenHens ” (WTF is that?!) and just goes to substantiate their point on over-investment and projection.

    • Janie says:

      I agree Maya. You are right on ALL points!

      • lisa2 says:

        @Josephina.. exactly.

        we JP fans are always the ones “overly invested”.. I see that is the new tag only place on us. If you counter or give your opinion to their comments then you are Over invested. If you give an example then you know too much. But it is just fine for an Aniston fan to make any statement of fact about Brad/Angie.. the more negative the better. But if you say anything about Jennifer you are over the top. She has done nothing to hurt anyone. She is harmless. I saw a few comments talking about Angie being skinny.. but those are the go to remarks when the comments are going in a different direction.

        nothing new.. I’ve seen this dance for so many many years. I’m a fan and yes I am very highly invested..

      • Josephina says:

        I am not looking for buy-in from any JenHen. They have created an imaginary platform to base their irrational hate because they have been projecting their hurt feelings of being dumped or feeling helpless watching someone they care about getting dumped. A number of posters have already confessed that the ending of Brad/Aniston’s marriage struck a nerve when it shouldn’t have.

  9. Loopy says:

    The only person that would need to have a grudge in this triangle is JENNIFER and she seems over it, what right do Brad or Angelina have to hold a grudge. And I am not a huge fan of any of the three.

    • lisa2 says:

      OH… They have a “right”.. but they just don’t care and are just living their life.. Quite successfully and happily so.

    • GoOnGirl! says:

      Why isn’t Jennifer hating on Brad? He’s the one who left her.

      • someonestolemyname says:

        The press and much of the reading public seems to always blame the woman he went to…. sadly and not look at Brad.

        Brad’s pr was masterful at letting the two women take the fall…. I was working at a Entertainment news channel in LA at the time of the split and sadly every story was slanted towards Angelina the bad girl or Jen the good girl….while Brad basically went untouched in stories. They made it as if, he was lead away by the evil woman….all the stories the reporters at the network were putting out were slanted that way for weeks….sadly

      • Susan says:

        These two comments 10000000 times over!! I’ve never understood the Jen vs Angie thing. Brad is the true MEANGIRL.

      • TeaAndSympathy says:

        I knew nothing about this saga until I came on her four or so months ago, GoOnGirl, but after reading so many comments, I wondered the same thing. I’d never been a celebrity fan, so I missed all the drama.

        The initials interested me, too, but I am a bit weird about such things… From JA to AJ. A switcheroo..

    • Janie says:

      I don’t know how you get that idea. Jen has no reason to hold a grudge, Angelina has never done a thing to her. Yet Jen has smeared her for 10 years and created a vendetta against her. Angelina is the only one who has a right to hold a grudge.

      • Catk says:

        Of course Jen could have held a grudge. Her husband left her for another woman, in the most public of ways, and flaunted the new relationship in a pictorial. They admitted they fell in love while he was married. He was lying to her all along. That would get me angry.

        My parents have friends who have held grudges for 2 decades over ex-spouses.

      • Janie says:

        1. Brad and Angelina did not flaunt their relationship at all, in fact, they were very discreet and classy. That pictorial was for work, it was a promo shoot for Mr & Mrs Smith. It was not personal. Actors do photoshoots all the time, its part of their contract. 2. Neither of them have ever admitted they fell in love while he was married. Brad was upfront at all times, he never lied to Jen at all, let alone “all along”. And sorry, but your parents friends really need serious therapy. Unfortunately you seem to think that behaviour is normal. It is not, and it harms themselves more than it does the ex-spouses.

      • Goats on the Roof says:

        @Janie
        Angie is actually on the record saying she and Brad fell in love on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith. I believe the quote was something along the lines of (paraphrasing, obvs), “I think it’s great my kids will get to see the movie where their parents fell in love.” Also, Brad and JA split in January and six months later, Angie adopted Zahara–a decision she said she and Brad made together. And then Shiloh was born early the next year. Jen got dumped in a big way and Brad leapt straight into having a family with another woman. Even if there was no overlap between relationships (although I believe there was), I do think Jen would have been justified if she felt bitter or angry.

      • Janie says:

        Goats on the Roof, Angelina was talking about the characters of the movie Mr and Mrs Smith falling in love, getting married, and then trying to kill each other as hired assassins. She wasn’t talking about her and Brad themselves. Here is the actual quote: “They’re going to have a great laugh – to see when their parents actually met, and watch them fall in love and try to kill each other!

Unless you believe Brad and Angelina tried to kill each other IN REAL LIFE? Jen got with Vince Vaughn in March 2005, barely 3 months after she split from Brad, so why was it wrong that Brad and Angelina adopted Shiloh 3 months after that? Brad and Jen split Jan 7 2005, and Shiloh was born on May 27, 2006. Almost half way through the next year, not ‘early the next year’. One year and a half after the split. Its been shown with many timelines that there was absolutely no overlap, but if there was, it was because Jen jumped straight into a relationship with Vince Vaughn, before she had even filed for divorce from Brad. There is your overlap.

      • Ennie says:

        …Janie, adding that AJ said that as soon as they stopped using BC, AJ got pregnant. They thought it would have taken longer, but Shiloh was eager to come to the world, I guess. 🙂

        Brad has said himself that he moves forward. He has never gone back to his exes, like with Goop.
        Since we were not privy to their thoughts and talks, we can only guess.
        Because of the way that Brad has brought up, etc. I do think that he and AJ were very attracted to each other and fell for each other because they were in the same place in life.
        Probably he and Aniston had already drifted away. We all know by of the way she has conducted during these ten years that she loves her simple works and making money, that she enjoys a comfortable life, that she is not really children oriented or adventurous.
        I do think that he first talked to Aniston before taking big decisions. She wanted him to stay in the marriage , but he wanted out.
        That is honesty to me. I have seen other marriages where the woman wants the man even when he is a cheater. Those are different arrangements.
        JA and BP were /are better off, anyway. I do not understand that victim strategy.

        The funny thing is that JA goes on and ends up with Justin and everything what and how they do is justi-fied (excuse the pun). Moral gymnastics.

        I do not see B or A, or any of his friends trashing Aniston, funny that she is so close friends to a woman who has called such offensive words to AJ and her children.

      • Say What!? says:

        At Janie

        Discreet and classy. You cannot be serious. You can claim a lot of things but discreet is not one of them. Rumors of their affair took up most of 2004 while he was still married to Aniston. Even at the Cannes film festival that year people had to figure out ways to keep Jolie and Aniston apart.

        And then of course the far from discreet W photo shoot less than two months after he Aniston split. If that W photo shoot was about promoting Mr. and Mrs. Smith what in the world were all of those kids doing in the photos? Their character had NO kids. That was ALL about promoting themselves as family people. The photo shoot was the day they launched their family brand.

      • Janie says:

        Say What!? I am very serious. They were very discreet, far more than Jen and Vince and Jen Justin/Heidi.

        “Rumors of their affair took up most of 2004 while he was still married to Aniston. ” Yes, and? That is Brad and Angelina’s fault….how? Rumors are rumors, it means nothing. Do you mean to say you believe everything you read? Besides, those rumors were well and truly debunked by the Producer, cast and crew who said there was nothing going on, some even went on record with their names. So the rumors were debunked by the people there. In the end, that’s all they turned out to be. Rumors and lies.

        “Even at the Cannes film festival that year people had to figure out ways to keep Jolie and Aniston apart. ” Firstly where did you get that from, secondly, I’m not even sure what point you are trying to make? The photoshoot commanded by the Producer of M&Mrs Smith, was a paradox and compare-contrast of the marriage that was central to the theme of the entire movie. What may appear happy (e.g a happy family) isn’t. It has been explained many times over. You’re best placed to ask the Director about that, not the workers/actors who just do as they are told. There is no family brand. There never was. Just people who think rumors equals ‘truth’ and is ‘proof’ of something and who cannot discern rumors and lies from fact. Those that believe something happened only believe this because they gullibly believed all the tabloid rumors that were all debunked and took them as gospel.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Catk, who wrote: “Of course Jen could have held a grudge. Her husband left her for another woman, in the most public of ways …”

        How in the world did Brad Pitt leave Jennifer Aniston in the “most public of ways?” They issued a joint statement announcing their separation on January 7, 2005 and Jennifer filed for divorce on March 23, 2005. The “most public of ways” didn’t happen until April 2005, AFTER the talking, separating, and filing for divorce had already happened. So please riddle me how Brad could have left Jennifer in the “most public of ways” four months after he had already left her?

        @Catk, who wrote: “… and flaunted the new relationship in a pictorial.”

        That pictorial was a promotion spread for the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which open in June 2005. The couple in the pictorial wasn’t representing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The couple in the pictorial was Jane and John Smith set in the 1960’s. Jane wasn’t happy with domestic life and drank during the day, and their kids looked like little John Smiths. If nothing else, the ‘guns’ under the pillows they toyed with in bed should have been a huge clue since Jane and John Smith were ‘assassins’ in the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” film.

        @Catk, who wrote: “They admitted they fell in love while he was married. He was lying to her all along.”

        No, Angelina said she couldn’t wait until her kids were old enough to watch “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” so they could see the film where they parents fell in love. That comment was what drew the “Uncool” comment from Jennifer. They never denied that they were attracted to each other while filming, but they have both said they never acted on their feelings until late April (after reshoots for “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” began), a month after Jennifer filed for divorce. Saying you’re in love with someone doesn’t automatically mean you’re having sex with them.

    • Luca76 says:

      Seriously no one knows what really happened and who has a right to hate who.

        You know what? that is actually the best way to look at it.

      • Esmom says:

        You are entirely too rational. I have been saying this all along. People here say they have “proof” of this and cite quotes and interviews out the wazoo…all of which “prove” only one thing — they tell us whatever they want and we have no idea what the real truth is. Nor should we, it’s private.

      • lucy2 says:

        Thank you!

      • Dana says:

        Tell that to Jennifer and Angelina fans

      • TheOnlyDee says:

        Why would anyone hate either woman? Or Brad? I get not liking them, I just don’t get hating them.

      • doofus says:

        TheOnlyDee, I don’t get it either.

        let’s suppose that Jolie is the “home-wrecker” people say she is. (NOTE: I don’t think she is so don’t kill me.)

        let’s suppose that Aniston did every horrible thing that people accuse her of.

        even if true, WHY DO PEOPLE CARE SO MUCH?! neither of these women is a sister, mother, aunt…and neither would likely EVER be a friend of any of these people. the over-investment boggles the mind.

        and NOTHING that either woman has (allegedly) done is so horrible that it’s worth spending the energy to hate them. Polanski? sure. Gibson? sure. Nugent? sure.

        but these two? DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.

    • Ennie says:

      I think that by now, having gotten with Justin the way she did (coughHEIDIcough), Aniston nor some of her fans have much room to keep crying foul.
      Also, she has lots of friend who are or have been home wreckers in a more blunt way, like Laura Dern (twice and those marriages had young children), CCox, etc. that goddesses circle is not a pillar of virtue.

      • GoOnGirl! says:

        You are so right Ennie. But because she’s Jennifer, she is always, and I mean always given a pass.

  10. Sabrine says:

    This is just ridiculous, still trying to milk this long dead horse. The tabs still haven’t given up on the Aniston wanting a baby either. I guess they’ve got nothing else so this is what they fall back on.

    • Amcn says:

      Well it could be something to do with her saying in this weeks THR that she stills wants a baby and it could happen anytime!! It won’t die because she keeps saying it.

  11. Louise177 says:

    As said, there’s plenty of photos of Angelina smiling and talking to people. It baffles me why people always want to paint Angelina as evil and cold. They probably didn’t want to arrive at the same time because it would be awkward. Not because Angelina and Jennifer have a problem but the media would make a big deal about. Probably ask for photos together, They can be cool with each other without being friendly. Frankly I doubt Angelina hates Jennifer. She gives off the vibe that she couldn’t care less.

  12. Amcn says:

    Would you risk a run in publicly when every expression, gesture, word will be dissected, analyzed and manipulated by tabloids? If they had crossed paths and exchanged a brief hello there would have been significantly more nonsense written. I think neither of them care, it’s just awkward.

    • Yep, yep. If the three actually became FRIENDS….not merely “friendly”, then I can see them going up to each other. But otherwise–way too much drama. In fact, they’d probably start up the “Brad’s leaving Angelina and taking the bio kids with him to Jennifer” rumors again…

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      That’s what I was thinking. Look how much dissection of their every move goes on when they DON’T come face to face. Imagine if they did. They were probably trying to keep the whole thing low key.

      • OhDear says:

        If they did come face-to-face, then all the coverage of the Critics Choice Awards would have been about The Encounter, not the awards themselves.

    • Wren33 says:

      Exactly.

  13. lucy2 says:

    Star = BS of course.
    Beyond that, I imagine everyone involved has moved on (years ago) and really is fine, but I can understand wanting to keep your distance. There’s people that I don’t hate, but don’t exactly want to hang out with, you know? And I don’t have tabloids making up grand stories about it all the time either.

  14. smcollins says:

    They probably did make sure not to have a run-in with each other, but not for those reasons. The whole triangle thing is finally starting to taper out, and if they were to be social & friendly with each other?? OMG, it would be another 10 years of crazy tabloid stories with a fresh narrative to feast on. I think it was a smart choice, not a hostile one. IMO, anyway. 😉

  15. c'est la vie says:

    Oy!

    This story is so high school. With middle aged participants.
    Will people ever get bored with the doomed triangle?

    I’m guessing not…

    • someonestolemyname says:

      True dat!
      Story of the triangle is tired.

      Brad has a wife and children. Angelina.
      Jennifer has dated for years and now has a fiancée. The doomed Jennifer stories are so tiresome and the triangle stories are just plain TIRED.

      • PunkyMomma says:

        ^This.

      • Say What!? says:

        And yet here we are commenting. Don’t you think this story would die faster if this didn’t have 200 comments by the end of the day? Why are we so sure it’s Aniston or her PR person that keeps this drama alive. I’m pretty sure it’s us, the people who keep clicking on these articles.

      • c'est la vie says:

        I think I’m suddenly feeling ennui…

  16. BNA FAN says:

    I don’t believe Angelina is holding a grudge. I remember ten years ago when this triangle started Angelina did reached out to Jennifer. If I’m not mistake, Angelina said she would talk with Jennifer. Jennifer did not take her up on the offer. JA instead had her friends talk crap About Angelina for years. Now JA wants to give tge impression she is the better person by saying no one did anything wrong, she knew this ten years ago. I don’t believe Angelina will be friendly to JA knowing she was friendly with someone who called AJ’s kids names like monkey and Eskimos . I do believe their handlers kept them separated that night.

    • Amcn says:

      AJ put that out there in the only interview she ever mentioned JA that it was up to her if she wanted to talk. I remember JA giving an interview a couple of years later (GQ?) where she was pointedly nasty. “Have you talked to AJ?” “Nope. Nuh uh. ” and then going off the record and the interviewer stated that she feels about AJ exactly how you’d think she felt. So from that point I think it was clear she didn’t like her. And coincidentally that is around the time Handler became friends and started the attacks. And that was 5 years post divorce.

      Hopefully 5 more years later when she has a successful career and a happy relationship she has let go of some of that anger and has really moved on.

      • lisa2 says:

        When people go on about bringing someone up. Neither had really said her name in an interview. The interviewer asked about her. But it’s fine.. I’m just glad Brad and Angie are married and have a beautiful family.

  17. BNA FAN says:

    Btw, I do believe EA is in love with Angelina. He always talk very highly about her, can’t blame him. I know Brad understands the love, Lol.

  18. sali says:

    Like these two even care, they each have their separate lives

  19. neer says:

    I don’t think they try to avoid each other. It’s just that they have nothing in common (except BP’s association). Based on their interviews, I think they are NOT on the same WAVELENGTH or way of thinking. They are totally different from each other. I can’t imagine them being close or having a chit chat. Maybe if they cannot really avoid, they may just be civil to each other. A simple nod or a civilized smile or hi will probably do. I know they know that they have to learn to co-exist in events like this in relation to Hollywood BUT not necessarily should be seen together or having a conversation especially that all eyes are on them, looking for something interesting between the two ladies.

    I know AJ can be civil if she wants to like when we saw her with Sony’s Amy Pascal after the hacked emails leaked.

  20. Hautie says:

    This self created drama will never end. It will always be good gossip for the tabloids. Simply for how the marriage unraveled.

    And with LA acting like a vicious small town when it comes to being famous… there will always be ugly family matters that will live on, forever.

    If anything it was a simple nice public statement from Aniston… complimenting the film Unbroken. That provoked a nice hate filled article, curtsey of Star, saying how there is still hate all over them both… for each other. So the triangle lives on for the tabloids.

    What would the tabloids do… if they did not have this little drama to fall back on during a slow week of gossip?

  21. scout says:

    Oh, she was happy alright with Ethan Hawke, Eddie, Miyavi and even hugged Patricia Arquette when she got up to receive award for “Boyhood”.
    Why would she pose next to her husband’s ex anyway, not very logical. Brad did his thing for Fury and she did it for Unbroken. They might show up together for Oscar or to promote “By the Sea” next. With 6 kids, they do need to organize! I have only 2 kids and my brain is muddled! 😀

        I can’t STAND Larry or Polly–I like Polly more, but UGHHH….I seriously skip past Larry’s parts. The only part I ever saw was when Larry and his father went into a gay bathhouse because the dad had a groupon deal for it.

        I want more Bennett and Daya….

      • TheOnlyDee says:

        I know Larry is based off of a real guy, but can he just be killed off? I tune out whenever they show him. The part with him and his dad in the spa was kind of funny, but other than that, I can’t stand anything to do with that character. I don’t care for Jason Biggs, so maybe I am biased.

  23. epiphany says:

    I can believe they feel awkward and uncomfortable when they’re both at the same event, but hate? Nah, not buying that. Unlike some, I never believed Jen was all that much into Brad… I don’t think she was “devastated” by his supposed cheating. I think the thing that devastated her was losing the attention and prestige she had as Mrs. Brad Pitt. Marrying him opened doors she never could have as a TV personality. Aniston has been heel-bent on being famous for her entire adult life – marrying Brad Pitt shot her into the upper echelons, and the only way she could stay there was to continue to talk about their break up. Girlfriend loves her fame more than any man.

    • GoOnGirl! says:

      It doesn’t help that Aniston is constantly still talking Brad, Angie, and the divorce, while conveniently shading Justin.

    • GoOnGirl! says:

      Thank you ephiphany. You hit it square on the head. We all know Jen loved the perks of being Mrs. Pitt but didn’t necessarily want Mr. Pitt. And it has only taken her 10 years to comment about how it is no one’s fault and there was no affair. Now if she could just tell Heidi that. . .

    • Janet says:

      What Aniston really couldn’t get over was that Brad moved on before he was ready to let him move on.

    ‘YOU CAN’T SIT WITH US!!!’

      I admire her talent immensely and hope she is well-she looks exhausted.

      Jen looks better than Angie, and Jen is older.

      My hubby thinks Angie “looks like death”. Not sexy at all.

  27. Janie says:

    Oh look, Huvane is at it again with his collaboration with Star. The article is clearly biased towards Jen and paints Angelina in a bad light.

  28. Nev says:

  29. kendra says:

    What in the world would Angelina have to talk to Jennifer about? Jennifer talks like she’s stuck in high school and still trying to figure out what she wants from life at 45 years old. I would not want to talk to Jennifer, she comes across as sad, depress and all kind of crazy.

  30. Debbie says:

    Sorry I just don’t buy this. I think these two women aren’t friends and never will be but at this point I don’t think they care about each other. If they did coordinate being seperate it wasn’t because of them hating each other but not wanting to deal with the fall out in the media if they didn’t interact just right.

    I mean honestly they can’t win. If they were friendly it would be called fake, and if they caught one if then in a non smiling moment they would be at war! I would avoid that to. Seriously IMO now it’s about the media and not their feelings.

  36. Marianne says:

    Just because they are tired of the tabloids pitting them against each other, doesn’t make them best friends either. I can understand if they don’t want to pose on the red carpet together.

  37. Heat says:

    They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. People (Tabloids) are going to dissect every single thing with these two women, no matter what.
    Why would the organizers sit them together? What would be the purpose of that? Each of the tables at the PCA seemed to be occupied by casts and their family/spouses. JA and AJP are not in any films together. If they had been seated in close proximity to each other, it would have taken away from the entire show, because everyone would be focusing their attention on how many eyelash-batts there were…oh wait, was that a side-eye?…she flipped her hair; what does THAT mean?
    Also, from what I’ve seen, big stars are often spaced apart on the red carpet in order to allow for enough time to meet with various media outlets along the way.
    I truly believe this is much ado about nothing. I suspect that these women (most especially AJP) are indifferent to one another at this point…and just want this stupid triangle to go away.

  38. Annie says:

    I am sure Angie couldn’t careless about Aniston. But I really think Brad purposely did not attend because he knows Jennifer was up for something, that she will use the event to go to him and have the photo-op that they are ok. Brad does not want to be used by his ex- wife, as he said before she is media savvy and knows the game she plays. He and Angie just don’t want to play the game she wants. Aniston kisses everybody’s ass in HW.

    • Josephina says:

      Indeed, Pitt was right not to show up.

      Smart move.

    • lisa2 says:

      The problem is kissing ass doesn’t get you a first look deal on films or projects. People don’t like desperation.

      I wonder why her fans have not commented on her putting the truth out there that she doesn’t get to look at the good scripts. That she has to wait for some other actresses to say no before she gets invited to the game. That does not sound like the Hollywood power player her fans claim she is. that is not A-list actress clout. She is not the go to woman. And she herself has said it loud and clear. So no she is not playing it the same game as Angie or Brad.

    • BlueeJay says:

      So Brad let’s Jennifer’s actions control what he does?

      • Josephina says:

        It is clear that Brad avoids her in public for good reasons.

        And his strategy has worked out quite well for him. He has only gained since his divorce. Another indicator that he made the right choices.

      • Paige says:

        Why would he care or want of them care? They’ve all been in a room together before, why would this be any different.

      • Josephina says:

        He cares about his wife, family and their welfare- everything he does is for their benefit.

        Maybe Aniston can focus her more RECENT exes. She can take pictures with Gerard Butler or John Mayer with Justin on the other side. And then Vince Vaughn can photobomb the picture.

    The press and much of the reading public seems to always blame the woman he went to…. sadly and not look at Brad.

    Brad’s pr was masterful at letting the two women take the fall…. I was working at a Entertainment news channel in LA at the time of the split and sadly every story was slanted towards Angelina the bad girl or Jen the good girl….while Brad basically went untouched in stories. They made it as if, he was lead away by the evil woman….all the stories the reporters at the network were putting out were slanted that way for weeks….sadly
    ——–
    THIS!!!! This is isn’t pointed out enough. He is the one that came out with the best career, too because of his well played Pr. I think both Angelina and Jennifer have a hard time finding roles that they actually want to play.

    The thing that some people don’t seem to realize is that both sides are BRAD PITT FANS. so why don’t we just blame Brad and his fans and be done with it? Lol

    • Josephina says:

      Angelina has not had ANY problems with scripts. Did you already forget that Salt was re-written to fit her into the role? That’s Jennifer’s problem due to her acting skills.

      Angie always gets the scripts FIRST. See Gravity (Sandra Bullock) and Silver Linings Playbook (Jennifer Lawrence).

      There are many film actresses that receive more accolades than Jen, MANY. To compare Angie’s longstanding, illustrious film career to Jen’s 1st film role receiving get critical acclaim is WHY she gets ridiculed.

      It would be best to compare her to Kate Hudson.

      • lisa2 says:

        LOL.. (oh Kate… )

        Gossip is written for it’s audience. In this case women. So no men are never going to be treated the same in the gossip media as women. Brad has been attacked by many. Especially after he told the world he was not a happy man during that time period. Up until then the tabloids were writing stories of him secretly meeting Aniston and leaving Angie and taking the bio children. Because you know they would be happier in an Brad home with Aniston as their mother.. ROTFLMAO.

        but not until it was clear how Brad felt, then Jennifer’s father said that they were not in contact and had not been for years. Brad’s brother Doug said the same. So those Brad dumps Angie for Jen ended. I don’t recall anyone being mad at Brad when those he dumps Angie stories were out. But that narrative was for another end.

        women are the ones driving these stories. Hollywood didn’t give a shit that Brad and Aniston divorced. Brad hasn’t lost a job and neither has Angie.. but of course I see comments from Jennifer’s fans screaming how Brad and Angie’s careers are over and headed for doom. Not sure what that assertion is based on; but they putting it out there. And of course they made the huge proclamation that they would boycott all Brad and Angie project.. but they are the first to spout off how terrible a Brad or Angie film is.. OH and they are always in the theater when someone “walks out”.. I have never seen a JA film in theater. Never paid to see one; and I have never posted a comment saying she is a bad actress.. because I don’t watch her films. see that is how a boycott works. lol

        This is not about PR. it is about the market place and the audience. Men don’t care that Brad is not with Aniston. Women are the ones that get mad because some of them are projecting their past experiences and fears on this situation.

      • I was surprised that Jennifer said the feud/gossip/tabloid drama affected her work, her ability to get scripts–I never thought that was the case with Brad or Angelina. I think when you compare, Brad has worked a bit more than Angelina (which makes sense because he was into producing more AND she had to/wanted to recover from childbirth,etc), but Angelina’s embarking upon a serious second career, and that’s part of the reason why she didn’t work for four years–she was directing. I think if producers thought Jennifer was a great actress and worth whatever tabloid gossip she brought with her, they’d hire her–they obviously did with Brad and Angelina.

        And I don’t get the “blame Brad for the tabloids pitting Jennifer and Angelina together”…tabloids are sexist. Did Brad force the tabloids to run an issues with the Best and Worst Celeb bodies (concentrating on women)? Did Brad influence the tabloids to run the ridiculous baby bump rumors about ANY female celeb that doesn’t have a perfectly flat stomach? No. They’re notoriously sexist. It’s NEVER the man’s fault. Unless said man isn’t famous and married to a celebrity (like Jesse James)–even then, it’s all about the women he slept with. So why is it a surprise that the tabloids did the same thing with Angelina and Jennifer?

        From my understanding, Brad and Angelina don’t respond to tabloid rumors. So how/what is he supposed to protect her from? Some morons making up shit about her? Is he supposed to respond to every single rumor printed? Does SHE even want him to respond to anything printed about her? She’s a big girl. She’s been in the tabloids for years. Sorry, I just don’t buy it.

        Yeah, I’m not sure Salt was on her MUST DO LIST. Im sure she gets scripts but are they the scripts she WANTS? She had to audition for Changeling. she’s not getting Brad Pitt level scripts now is she?
        He gets the top notch Oscar scripts, she gets salt and Maleficent. I think that’s why she’s done with acting and wants to direct.

        I think the fake feud has only helped Pitt and it shows in how many Oscars he’s been nominated for since Brangelina happened.

      • LAK says:

        VC: I think Jen Aniston finally read her star market rating and analysis on Vulture.com!!! LOL.

        They said bluntly that the tabloid drama wasn’t translating to BO or scripts.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Beep, who wrote: “I’m sure she gets scripts but are they the scripts she WANTS? She had to audition for Changeling.”

        Did she? Here is an excerpt from an interview with Clint Eastwood about that:

        MTV: You have “The Changeling” coming out with Angelina Jolie. Was casting her your idea?

        Eastwood: They would have gone with whoever I wanted. [Brian] Grazer and Ron Howard were the ones who sent it to me, and they asked who I liked. They said Angelina Jolie is someone who’s very interested in it. Her face is one that works both contemporarily and in a period. And so I said, “Yeah, let’s go with her.” It was kind of a no-brainer. I’ve worked with a lot of wonderful actresses. I can’t say I’ve worked with anybody more professional.

      • @LAK
        I don’t think they’re calling her (for lead roles, OR as much anymore) because she can’t act, lol. And she doesn’t bring in enough money by herself. They can’t just hire her and know that she’ll at least bring back their budget + a little extra. They have to hire at least one other person.

        I’d love to hear what word on the Hollywood Boardroom is about her career. So far she hasn’t signed up for anything new.

    • jen2 says:

      Angelina has been in $100 million dollar hits and let’s not forget Maleficent which is major. Angelina does not work in film because she does not WANT to, not because she does not get scripts. She also has been nominated for major awards since her relationship began and has had babies, started a new career with directing and continues with her humanitarian, so, working for her is a choice and she chooses when she will work.

      And I just can’t with the Brad should speak out. Speak out and say what exactly. Neither of them have publicists and they don’t make a habit of responding to tabloid stories and when they do, like that break-up story that made it into major, legitimate news outlets- they sued and won. If it stays on the level of gossip, they leave it alone. As stated above, he does not write the ignorant stories, and as also been proven, they keep their $hit so tight, they can get married TWICE, she can have major surgery and they can get engaged and not a soul knows about it until they say so. Anniston just said there is no feud, he did nothing wrong and this story still got published. What did Brad have to do with it exactly. He was not even there. Women hating on women in tabloids and gossip sites is what it is all about. The man is always invisible.

    • jen2 says:

      @Beep. OK, we get it. You hate Brad Pitt and at the same time continue with the unnecessary downgrading of women. Poor wittle girls, the big bad man won’t defend them and they are so weak they can’t do anything about it. Both women are millionaires and can get along just fine if they so choose. These women made their own choices and have to live with them, stop putting the blame on someone else for whatever reason. Brad Pitt was an award winning super star before he met Ms. Anniston, so his success is only a continuation of where he was before he met her. Ms. Jolie was an Oscar winner before she met PItt, so she too is continuing her successful path, has been nominated and was just awarded the Jean Herscholdt (sp) Award. Ms. Anniston is trying to find her way in film as well.

      By the way, I don’t hear DAME Jolie complaining, so I think she is just fine with where she is.

      I can’t believe how many people still bother to comment on it… Are they possessed??

      • Um, YEAH. You don’t have a Leg of Doom voodoo doll in your room that forces you to respond to ALL Brad/Jennifer/Angelina/Justin stories, no matter how ridiculous? LUCK YOU. Mine threatens to turn me into a Jenniferloonie if I don’t post. :/

  41. anne_000 says:

    Let’s pretend STAR’s article is true… *cough*…

    Then my explanation of JA & AJ’s actions is:

    JA’s media presence depends upon being connected to this imaginary love triangle. So JA looking at the seating charts wasn’t to make sure she wasn’t near AJ & BP but curiosity and hoping that she was near them, and that the cameras would get all three of them in one shot.

    If I were AJ, I wouldn’t want to be near JA on the red carpet either so as not to get both of them in one camera shot and not to have a meet-and-greet with all the cameras on them, because I would know that JA craves that kind of media attention for her career. Whereas AJ has made sure not to use this imaginary love triangle as part of her fame, JA has used it for a decade to promote herself and to make it look like she’s the victim. JA & AJ on the same spot on the red carpet would make it look like JA was the bigger woman being nice to that ‘evil home-wrecker’ AJ.

    JA’s concern with staying involved in this imaginary love triangle reminds me of LeAnn’s obsession with Brandi in her TV show, record album, and interviews. This type of drama serves them in their careers.

    But AJ doesn’t want to rely on this imaginary drama to be the basis of her career. AJ wants her image connected to her work: UN, directorial, and her acting. She doesn’t need nor want it to be connected to anything so lowly as this stupid little drama that never actually occurred.

  42. ATLast says:

    Soo tired of this garbage, especially from this site. Love that you tried to post an ugly pic of JA. She still looks good, girl. AJ has done some nice things for humanity. She is not a nice lady though. Moving on…

    • Janie says:

      How is AJ “not a nice lady”? Especially since you admit she has done “some nice things for humanity”. That makes her a nice lady, does it not?

      • ATLast says:

        Sorry dude. Actions in the present do not cancel out actions of the past. Let’s be magnanimous and say perhaps she has evolved. Everyone hopes to evolve.

      • Janie says:

        The point is, there are no ‘actions’ in her past that indicate that she was not a nice lady. She has never done a thing to hurt anyone. So you will have to be more specific. Because there is nothing in her past that would be anywhere near suggesting it.

      • ATLast says:

        I guess we agree to disagree?

      • Janie says:

        I asked you to be specific, and you won’t tell me. What exactly is it that you feel, makes her not a nice lady?

      • ATLast says:

        My parents were split apart (never to recover) when my father cheated on my mother with another woman. I do not like women who do this. She wanted Billy Bob and took him from Laura Dern (to whom he was engaged). She wanted Brad and took him from JA (to whom he was married). Of course the men are accountable, but I find it particularly vicious from the female perspective. Mainly because I know how much smarter women are than men (men can be such dumb animals, god bless them). So there it is. You can rip my sh*t apart but that is the honest truth.

      • Janie says:

        1. It was proven that BBT and Dern were over before BBT and Angelina got together. Dern’s own publicist’s press statement and datestamp proved this. Btw, BBT and Dern were never even engaged. Just boyfriend/girlfriend. That’s all. At no stage did Dern herself ever even refer to him as her fiancé. 2. Brad and Angelina never had an affair. That was proven long ago. Read the other thread where even Aniston admitted there was no affair and Brad did nothing wrong. I didn’t think there was anyone left who still was under the misunderstanding that an affair happened? Also, Brad has said several times that he was the one who chased Angelina, from country to country. He chased her, and he took her. Unfortunately people think that just because they experienced cheating, it gives them the right to assume that every cheating rumor they’ve ever heard about someone, is true. Well, with Angelina, it is not. She has never taken a man from anyone. Married or not. I think that judging a person based on hearsay and tabloid rumors and lies is not nice. It makes you a not nice person. Not bearing false witness is one of the ten commandments. How would you like it if vicious nasty rumors were spread about you, and everyone believed them? Cheating is wrong, but since Angelina has never been with a taken man, you have no reason to say she is not nice. I’ve heard every accusation, every vicious, dirty tabloid lie said about her, there is not one I haven’t heard. And not one of them are true and I can rebut each one. Which is why I drew you out to be specific. Spreading lies about someone is not nice. In fact, I think its evil.

      • ATLast says:

        Ok, you are scaring me now. And I am not evil. That’s enough of that.

      • Maya says:

        @Atlast: but you are okay with Jennifer who ruined 3 relationships?

        Can’t you see how hypocritical you sound?

      • ATLast says:

        I don’t care about Jennifer Aniston. I’m just tired of everyone fawning all over Jolie, who is not a saint. Bye crazies!

      • Ennie says:

        Laura Dern is not worth anyone’s sympathy as she was involved in the breaking of 2 homes with very young children, BBT’s and Petra and Ben Harper and his then-wife.
        She is a good actress, but she has had no qualms in meddling. And I say this knowing that the men are the actual responsible ones for their own marriage.
        BBT seems that finally mellowed, and Ben Harper dumped Laura unceremoniously at the end.
        Sometimes men lie about the state of their marriages or relationships, they say that they are already separated, etc. I believe that from BBT, but not from BRAd. from Brad I believe he had to clear things up due to his very strong family values background. BRAd went on lo live with a producer friend and was apart from JA for long periods of time, equating separations.

        .
        And let us not forget how hurtful must have been to Heidi to find out that JT was dumping her for Aniston (and had to move out unceremoniously too), who IMO, does not compare well to Heidi except in the size of her wallet and her circle of HW friends.

      • Anon says:

        @Ennie ,
        Thank you and all the other posters who continually state the truth to this often/always repeated lie. It so easy to look up Laura Dern, she got pregnant while Eddie Harper’s wife was pregnant, SMH This lie is always faithfully repeated.
        Thanks to the fans for faithfully posting the truth.

    • Dana says:

      @ATLast How is it up there on your pedestal ?

      • ATLast says:

        Lol I wish this was about me. I am awesome. Unfortunately I don’t get paid the big bucks to star in movies and stand around on red carpets. This is still Celebitchy, non?

    • Beep says:

      So aniston must not be a nice lady either seeing as she did Heidi Bivens dirty. Flaunted her relationship with Justin before Heidi was even moved out of their shared apartment.

  43. TedTheodoreLogan says:

    The writers at Star are just annoyed they have to find another target.

  44. TheOnlyDee says:

    In 25 years, I hope they both star in a “These Old Broads” type of television movie.

  45. Charlotte_ says:

    Jennifer can kiss angelinas feet, without her, she would be nowhere today. If anybody should be angry then angelina because of jennifers never ending interviews about the father of her children! Aniston is not getting married bacause she wants this speculations about her and justins wedding going. When they marry, what will the mags talk about? If jen married a few years ago and had kids today, nobody would be still talking about it. Shes the one who profits from this the most. And now she wants to look like the nice woman praising brad AND angelina? Pure tactic! She wants to look good in the public eye. Angelina is now a director and brad a powerful producer with an oscar, theres no way she can live in HW and get good work when she has them as her frenemis.

  46. Bethany says:

    Ok, can we please address Angie’s Botox vein? Over the past few months all I can see in every picture is the vein. It looks angry, man.

    • Katherine says:

      The vein has nothing to do with botox.

    • Janie says:

      If she had botox, the vein would not show up, proving that she doesn’t use botox. Angelina has had that vein in the middle of her forehead her entire life, even in pictures of her as a teen. She has always had it.

    • lisa2 says:

      There is nothing to address. The vein has been there way before people were using Botox.. but hey if it makes you day to associate it to Botox go ahead.. doesn’t make it any true.

      I remember Ann Curry talked to her about it when she was pregnant with Shiloh..

  47. Flower says:

    I doubt that Angelina gives tuppence about Jen but it’s obvious that Jen is still seething or she wouldn’t still be talking about Brad and Angelina.

  48. Nikki says:

    I think Angie and Jen should give each other a long, soulful French kiss, and THEN the next 10 years can be about how Angie is trying to steal Jen away from Justin! Or Jen stealing Angie from Brad, in twisted revenge!! I should write for Star!

  49. Nikki says:

    And my OTHER comment is, if you cover half of Ethan Hawke’s face in that pic, he’s smiling. But cover the other half, and he’s not at all. It’s a tad creepy.

  50. Dirty Martini says:

    Get serious folks. Brad was a big big movie star and Jen was a TV star…..not the same stratosphere, especially then. Jen lucked out and hit it before Angie.

    And once Brad had a taste…….ANgie took it away. Of COURSE Jen is pissed off and always will be. SHe was publically outted as the woman who couldn’t hold the man, and lost him to the #1 hot siren in the world.

    WHo was on her way to…and then became…much loved for her humanitarian work. Meanwhile Jen became much loved by the Cabo waiters for her tips.

    THey aren’t in the same league. Never were, never will be. ANd Jen knows we know it.

    Meanwhile ANgie hasn’t given her much of a second thought beyond stage management.

  51. nicegirl says:

    I can imagine that if I ever had a husband, and he fell in love with someone else while still in our marriage, I would never, ever want to see the ‘other woman’ again, either. I am not sure those kinds of wounds heal on a timeline with us regular folks, why would these ladies be any different?

  52. Llewyn Davis says:

    Jfc it’s been ten years. Let these talented and beautiful women LIVE!!

  53. Mylene - Montreal says:

    I believe this two intelligent and mature women don’t hate each other. MAYBE yes when she broke up with Brad Pitt (Jennifer) .. and everybody understand that. But after all this years … Nah … i think it’s only good cash for the tabloïd and until they will make money with this story they will continue to publish ”the hate story between them”.
