Did Jennifer Aniston & Justin seem especially loved-up at the Oscars?

No caption needed. #vfoscarparty

We had some requests for MOAR Jennifer Aniston stuff, so here you go. The Aniston vs. ScarJo post yesterday was one of our biggest for the Oscar coverage, so I guess you guys still want to talk about it? Sure. As I said yesterday, I actually liked Aniston’s Versace dress. It was a relief to see her in something lighter, less prom-y and less “The Widow Pitt.” Was the dress super-flattering? Eh. But I was also thankful that her boobs weren’t falling out of her dress, you know?

Anyway, the above Instagram is from Vanity Fair – Mark Seliger took exclusive portraits of people partying at the VF Oscar party. I enjoy the fact that whenever Aniston is being photographed by a professional, her go-to move is to play with her hair. Classic Aniston! You can see the VF Instagram here – there are lots of great portraits.

The VF portrait wasn’t JustJen’s only social media appearance at the Oscars. Jennifer Lopez was also posting photos all night, and she took a selfie with JustJen in the background. It’s pretty cute:

What else? Let’s see… my body language analysis of Justin and Jennifer says that Jennifer is still very into him. Justin feels… I’m not sure. I couldn’t swear to it, but in some of the photos from the VF party especially, it looked like Justin was slightly embarrassed or just not that into Jennifer. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. But Jen did seem “extra” affectionate, like she was overcompensating.

And lastly, Reese Witherspoon goosed Jennifer on the Oscars red carpet.

    Other celebrities seem to really like Jennifer. I guess it’s the goddess circle thing or whatever it’s called?

    • Maya says:

      Well all of them are with the same pr agency CAA and represented by Huvane as Jennifer.

      I genuinly have never ever seen Jennifer with someone not from that agency or even seen her with anyone from a different race. (Not saying she is racist or anything – just pointing out that I have never seen her hang out with anyone from different race).

      • Artemis says:

        Emma Stone is repped by WME (I think) and Selena Gomez (Hispanic heritage) left CAA and is also with WME. Both young ladies who absolutely do not need or benefit from a friendship/closeness with Aniston yet seem to adore her anyway.

        And celebrity friendship usually extends to the odd photo-op and namedrop here and there, not full-on vacations every year with the same couples. If they’re truly cool people, they would not hang out with Aniston purely for PR. That doesn’t seem like their MO.

        I guess it’s just too hard to accept they have friends that are likeable whereas it’s easy to accept that Handler is a friend because she’s horrible (nevermind that Handler seems to have a circle of friends that include Bullock, McCartney, Taylor-Wood and Stefani, likeable people who never get called out for their relationship with Handler).

        Aniston has a lot of industry friends, that much is obvious.

      • gogo says:

        Just because celebrities take pictures together at functions doesn’t make them friends. It’s mostly a matter of asking ‘Hey I liked your movie/song. Do you want to take a picture?’ Sean Young had tens of pictures with many A-list celebrities at the 2012 Oscars.

      • Kim1 says:

        Selena and Aniston have the same manager.
        I find it odd that since Jen is friends with all these powerful A listers and Oscar winners like Reese, Sandra,Clooney,Hanks, she has yet to do a film with any of these people.
        Well now that she is #1 Snubbed ( almost Oscar nominee) I am sure that will change.

        As for her being loved up at the Oscars I’m reminded of similar pics at the 2009 Oscars with John Mayer.People Magazine- John and Jen Still in Love at the Oscars.

      • Maya says:

        Taylor wood is not friends with Chelsea. Sam said she is close friends with Angelina.

        I stopped watching Sandra and Charlize movies after they became friends with Chelsea. They have adopted black sons and yet BFF with a known racist.

        As someone mentioned Selena and Jennifer shares the same manager.

        I take pictures with people working in the same company as me – that doesn’t mean I am friends with all of them.

        @Kim: Yep if she has these industry friends they would have acted with her. Instead Tom hanks is producing a tv serial with Brad, George point out said he wants to work with Brad again, sandra and reece never ever talks about working with Jennifer.

      • doofus says:

        “Sam said she is close friends with Angelina.”

        when did she say that? I was surprised as I’ve never seen them together, even chatting at an event. The only info I could find on them via google was that Taylor-Johnson got an email from Jolie regarding her directing 50 Shades and that the note came “out of the blue” (Taylor-Johnson’s words).

        if they’re close friends, I’m surprised Taylor-Johnson would classify it as “out of the blue”.

      • Artemis says:

        @gogo:

        If you’re’ talking’ to me, I was referring to the endless yearly holidays she takes with certain A-listers.

        @Kim1:

        And? Isn’t it normal that when you run in certain circles, you are going to run into the same people especially when you have a connection (like the same manager)? Witherspoon married an agent, like that doesn’t give her an added advantage in that fickle world. Why would a friendship be odd? Where else are these people going to find ‘friends’? In their local coffeeshop :D?

        @Maya:

        Yes, both Gwen and Sam are AJ’s friends and yet they have no problems with a girl’s night (not a casual run-in, this was obviously planned and they had no issue with making it public!) with a woman that openly said racial remarks about Jolie’s children. What awesome friends indeed…If you know anything about Paltrow (who started sharing the picture), then you know she doesn’t run around with a random group of women, these women are TIGHT. Her groups are TIGHT.

        I don’t know if Stone or Gomez are friends with her, but what I do know based on the pictures that anybody can find, is that celebs like to get chummy with her and have clearly established a relationship where jumping into somebody arms on the red carpet is acceptable. Or hugging everytime you see each other. I think it would look more awkward if they didn’t establish this before.

      • Kim1 says:

        @Artemis
        You seem to be a fan of Aniston.Why do you think none of her powerful A list friends have ever done a film with her? She has known Clooney for 20 years.She hangs out with Tom and Rita.She seems to be friends with Reese.My comment was about how I find it odd that this talented,well loved actress who almost got an Oscar nomination is seemingly ignored by her powerful peers. I have been asking this question of her fans for years.Response- Silence
        I never said it was odd she had friends in the industry.
        As for the mention of Selena Gomez .Aniston mentioned in an interview that she knows Selena because they share a manager.I have no problem with her being friendly with Selena.

      • Tarsha says:

        “yet seem to adore her anyway.” ‘adore’? Don’t out yourself as a delusional Anistonloon or anything. lol Firstly Selena Gomez is EXACTLY someone who needs the contacts and fame of being an Aniston hanger on. Secondly, whoever said they ‘adore’ her? Where did that come from? Or is it what you want it to be?
        “left CAA” In other words she was with CAA. And that’s how she met Aniston. “If they’re truly cool people, they would not hang out with Aniston purely for PR. That doesn’t seem like their MO.” And you say Selena Gomez, JUSTIN BEIBER’s ex, doesn’t need the attention? Seriously? What social climber *wouldn’t* accept a free vacation at PAP CENTRAL? Yes, she has a lot of industry ‘friends’, er – contacts.

      • Artemis says:

        @kim1:

        First of all, I’m not a fan.

        Second, how would being in a film with her friends say anything about their friendship? I think what you do OUTSIDE of work, counts for more when you talk about friendships don’t you think? If anything, that would justify some people’s reasoning that it’s all business, all CAA friendships. All these people have decent careers so why would one hang on to the other for jobs? They’re doing fine.

        How is she ignored exactly? She runs in the same circles as all the people you mentioned and she does it outside of business events too.Her career, mindboggling as it is, is on par or even better sometimes than the people you mentioned (RW’s career was in a rut whereas Aniston consistently brings in the money with her romcoms and shit). What more do you need? Why does she need to work with them to prove how close they are? Do celeb friends need to star in the same movies now too? I don’t see the added value in that it wouldn’t prove anything really so I’m not sure why you seem to keep asking that question. Do you know?

        Good grief, like that world isn’t conceited enough lol. I’m happy they keep it to tanning, lunching and partying together, I don’t need to see them onscreen together. In fact, all the people you mentioned, I barely saw any movie of them besides classics so I couldn’t give a toss.

        @Tarsha:

        I can’t be bothered with posters like you. You’re too much…

      • Tarsha says:

        Agreed kim1, that poster is always reacting to any slight against Aniston but never to Jolie. I can’t be bothered myself.

    • Peggy says:

      Let’s hope Selena don’t have to make a trip to rehab, before the year is over.
      Hanging out with booze hounds, and leaving the VF party stumbling, not a good look.

    • Tarsha says:

      I doubt they like her its called being polite.

    • missy says:

      It seems as though no matter what she does she will get trashed just like Jolie. It actually really stinks that the hatred is still in full force. Cheese and rice if you look at JT’s pics before Jennifer he isn’t smiling that much, he seems into her to me. If you want to compare- BP looks miserable a lot lately. So what does that mean? He isn’t into his wife anymore? lol I call BS on both. Both couples seem to be in love. And generally just because she is touchy doesn’t mean she is needy could mean she is actually nice. Get over it already these four are. *eyerolls*

    • Bugglez says:

      They like her so much they always nom her for Oscars and awards – oh, wait –

      The bish is almost 50 and has never gotten a peer nom’d award until her late 40s when she finally opens her purse and pays pr people and strategists …that doesn’t sound like someone with genuine friendships in hollywood…it sounds like desperados greasing palms.

      Also, the fact that she gets no decent roles ever and can’t work with decent directors to save her life – also speaks to her lack of influence.

      Why’s Witherspoon making films with handler and bullock with mccarthy…it’s not like aniston is turning them down to do squirrels to the nuts. She’s not being asked to do anything by anyone. Her ‘friendships,’ are fake air kissing photo ops.

  2. Sarah says:

    That’s a beautiful picture.

    • Crumpet says:

      I agree, and it shows her dress to better effect. It is actually quite beautiful on her.

      She seems much more at home ‘acting’ for the cameras than he is. I don’t know that I would necessarily base much off of these photos for that reason.

      • tracking says:

        I agree. I was underwhelmed by the dress in stills but thought it was pretty spectacular live, in movement with the light hitting it.

      • doofus says:

        Crumpet, I agree…I didn’t really like the dress until THIS picture. very pretty.

      • PrincessMe says:

        I wasn’t feeling the dress either from other (RC) pictures, but it does look lovely on her in that top pic.

        As for their extra “loved-up-ness”, she does seem more handsy. I think she was just happy to be there because there was an air of “legitimacy” with her “#1 snubbed” status. She just seems really giddy and happy in all of the candid pics I’ve seen.

    • lucy2 says:

      I really like that photo as well. The JLo photo bomb was cute too.

    • Lady D says:

      It is a beautiful picture. She looks amazing there.

    • Jordan says:

      That is a great pic of them! Even if she is playing with her hair, it works for this .

  3. Kiddo says:

    Those photos are really good, thanks. Especially: https://instagram.com/p/zdV61pED_h/?modal=true

  4. perplexed says:

    I wonder if the photographers tell the couples to hug each other. I watched something on Youtube with Aaron Taylor Johnson and Sam Taylor Johnson where they were at some kind of red carpet-thingy and I noticed the photographers would ask them if they could look at each other and do certain couple-ty poses. After seeing that, I figured it’s hard to tell what’s going on with anybody in the red carpet if they’re being directed to pose a certain way.

    On another note, J-Lo seems kind of human lately. Its weird bur nice?

    • lucy2 says:

      I’ve seen video footage of red carpets, and photographs are often yelling out instructions – look this way, turn around, stand with so and so, etc. Between the shouting and the camera flashes, I’d run away!

  5. Josephine says:

    She’s hands on with every man on the red carpet, and sometimes women. I find it too “teen insecure” like so many things about her, but given the consistency, I think she’s just a physically clingy person. The whole analysis of their relationship seems weird. The pic is nice but for her playing with her hair – that just ruins it.

  6. Ginger says:

    Jennifer definitely seemed happy and genuinely having a great time at the Oscars. Some of the photos of her with Justin did seem like he wasn’t as into it as she is. I’m wondering if it’s just because he’s not really into the award pageantry but does it to make Jennifer happy. If that’s the case I can’t fault him for wanting to make his lady happy like any good boyfriend/fiance would do.

    • norah says:

      i think the way she was clutching onto justin showed that she looked a bit drunk or too relaxed. and he was trying to make sure she didnt trip or fall over.

  7. paola says:

    Those portraits are really beautiful.
    Jennifer and Justin look cute. That dress is great on her.
    I love Mindy Kaling dress and she looks gorgeous.
    Could Adam levine have married a more vanilla woman? She’s just invisibe to me. Nothing special. She looks like any other skinny model out there.
    Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are incredibly cute together.
    Rita Ora’s dress is just embarassing.

    • LIVEALOT says:

      regarding adam levine- i hear you but i believe she is from africa so she’s not THAT vanilla. lol

  8. OriginalTessa says:

    She seems fun. He’s really attractive when not dressed like a hipster on a motorcycle. I hope they make it.

  9. Sullivan says:

    She seemed intent on having fun. Or at least looking like she’s having fun. Look at me! Wheeee! Woohoo! I’m happy and having fun in spite of being the number one snubbed. Drunk Aniston is the best.

    • Josephine says:

      that was my guess – she really wanted to show that she was a good sport about not being nominated. She never strikes me as fun, more as immature and neurotic. I think she has nice comedic chops, I just find her cringe-worthy off the screen.

    • Lola says:

      She had every reason to be happy, same as Justin. Neither of them belonged there and wouldn’t have been if it wasn’t because Brad & Angie have kept them relevant.

  10. Jayna says:

    That gown is killer on her.

  11. mia girl says:

    Meh… maybe it’s not the prevailing opinion in these parts, but I actually think they are both into eachother. My take is he has a weird, forced smile and it makes him look uncomfortable.

    The Mark Selinger pictures are all really nice. JustJen should ask for a copy of theirs and frame it.

    • doofus says:

      “My take is he has a weird, forced smile and it makes him look uncomfortable.”

      I agree completely. I think (as Ginger said above) that she loves this stuff and he doesn’t but he goes to make her happy. happy “wife”, happy life and all that…

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Doofus, who wrote: “I agree completely. I think (as Ginger said above) that she loves this stuff and he doesn’t but he goes to make her happy. happy “wife”, happy life and all that…”

        I, for one, am anxiously awaiting the ‘happy wife’ part of the scenario. I will be the loudest person singing the ‘Happy, happy, joy, joy’ song on the day these two crazy kids finally wed. Truth.

  12. Sandra says:

    I did notice this, and believe she was already tipsy before she got there.
    So, Cheers everyone!

  13. No, they’re not ‘loved up’. Justin looked desperately depressed most of the time, and Jennifer was tryin hard to ‘make nice and happy’ when he finally smiled it looked forced. They were real at one time, but its over.

  14. Insomniac says:

    That picture of J. K. Simmons is my favorite. https://instagram.com/p/zc36FnED9a/

  15. doofus says:

    I know this isn’t a popular opinion on here, but I do think they’re still together.

    I think she’s a touchy-feely and he’s not. however, he DID have his hand on her butt in one of the other pictures, which is often noted when other couples do it, so yeah…I’m going with “still together, never getting hitched”.

  16. epiphany says:

    I like the dress – she’s put on a bit of weight, and it becomes her.
    Please remember these people are actors… not necessarily good actors, but people who pretend for a living. Hugs and smiles and declarations of “my favorite couple” mean nothing when the cameras are on. She’s obviously enjoying the attention (what a shock!) while he looks very awkward and out of place. Many, many comments on other sites describing how their PDA seemed contrived. My hunch – and that’s all it is – they’ll announce a break up before summer.

    • sills says:

      Your hunch is my hunch. I don’t side-eye long engagements for regular folk, but people with their kind of money can make it happen any time, any place with all the wedding-planning help their hearts desire. There’s a reason they’re not down the aisle yet.

  17. minx says:

    I think at one time they were a real couple; I don’t think they are anymore, but they wanted to be together for awards season.

  18. Maya says:

    That’s a really nice picture and would have been stunning if she had left her hand down instead of touching her hair.

    I don’t know about these two – but I have only ever seen them do PDAs infront of the media. That always seems fake and done multiple times with Jennifer and her current partner.

    Without the camera on them on any awards shows – I have never seen them being affectionate,holding hands or even smiling at one another. There are several of pictures of other couples who are not touchy on the redcarpet infront of the paps but when they think that the camera is not on them – they show their love. That’s when I believe a couple is truly in love.

    Not once have I seen Jennifer and Justin like that. And Jennifer is the master of PR – she looked like this with Brad before announcing their separation, with John M before breaking up with him within days etc it’s like a pattern with her.

    I think Jennifer wanted to be the most talked about and she succeeded. There are like 10 articles on Dailymail about Jennifer this Jennifer that and maybe 1 or 2 about the actual nominees and winners.

    PS: Jennifer seemed drunk or high as usual and she also disappeared to a toilet stall with a female and was away for a long time. Wonder what they were doing…

  19. perplexed says:

    He might simply be more introverted. On some talk show, she mentioned that when they first met he was really, really quiet.

    Anyway, nice to see him looking less…orange? here.

    • doofus says:

      those spray-tans are THE WORST. I don’t know why any celeb (or “regular” person) would do that.

  20. BooBooLaRue says:

    Please someone, anyone tell JLo to ditch that cheap pink lippy!

    • Kim1 says:

      I am hoping Emme,Jennifer’s daughter,selected that lipstick.It was the twins birthday so maybe she let her daughter choose her lipstick.

  21. sali says:

    They are cute together and the pics are cute too!!

  22. Cindy says:

    Jennifer looks really stunning in these photos.

    I don’t know about justin…I don’t get him. I do wonder if he stayed for so long because it brought him increased recognition. For that matter I don’t get Jennifer, either. She has always seemed oddly detached from her partners, even with brad.

  23. Artemis says:

    Wrong spot.

  24. MrsBPitt says:

    The header picture is fantastic…I wasn’t even that crazy about her gown until I saw that picture. Who can tell by pictures how a couple is doing in real life! Personally, I don’t think Jennifer wants to get married…I’m sure she sees just how many marriages go the distance, and I think the thought of having to give someone half of her money, in the event of a divorce if it doesn’t work out, keeps her from walking down that aisle…can’t say I blame her!

  25. gogo says:

    John Mayer all over again. Loved up at the Oscars when they were already done.
    She seems like she is trying to be JLaw on the red carpet.

  26. RobN says:

    That’s a stunning picture. If it was me, it would be sitting on my mantle.

  27. EricaV says:

    She looks high AF. get it girl have fun with it. You paid A LOT of money to even get this close to an Oscar. Enjoy it.

  28. funcakes says:

    http://blindgossip.com/?p=69692#more-69692

    Could this be about Jen?
    Justin looks extremely uncomfortable. Plus this is not the first time Jenn seemed a little too relaxed at an award show.
    But then she might be nervous because her movie career is in the crapper and they’ll never be another reason for her to keep showing up for events such as this.

    • tracking says:

      Who knows, but more guesses for Kidman. Lainey has a video of NK backstage and she seems pretty loopy.

  29. taxi says:

    Why haven’t I ever noticed how screechy & harsh her voice is until the E! video above? (Getting goosed by Reese.) I don’t pay JA much attention. Has her voice always been this bad?

    • Camille (The Original) says:

      Yes, it has. She has a very irritating voice, I’m glad someone else noticed it.

    • Annie says:

      Yeah, she has this annoying high pitched voice. I’m not sure if she is drunk but she seems to slur all the time when she talks. She also talks like she doesn’t open her mouth and eating her words. I’m not sure but in that Ryan interview, it’s like she so acting it out.

      By the way, I don’t really what people likes in her, she is so plain looking and sounds really dumb.

  30. KatyD says:

    I feel she does this for the attention? All those pics with others get LOTS more attention for her. Maybe, she’s also copying J law too? I don’t remember her grabbing people’s butts and running around photo-bombing others at the last Oscars she attended? It seems forced and kinda try hard.

    • RobN says:

      From what I saw, somebody grabbed hers, not the other way around.

      • perplexed says:

        I think Reese Witherspoon grabbed her backside, or I think that’s what Ryan Seacrest said.

      • doofus says:

        and I guess Jared Leto and Ben Cumby are copying JLaw, too, as they both seemed to be photobomb-happy AFTER JLaw did it.

    • KatyD says:

      Oh yeah, she did the butt grab thing at the Golden globes with Kate Hudson. She grabbed Kate so hard she could have been arrested for assault, I recall. In any case, all of it comes off as desperate for attention.

  31. Tarsha says:

    What is with the finger-hair twirling and the OBSESSIVE PDA? The desperate
    ‘posing’ is beyond sad. That she actually even turned up after being the Number One Snubbed© shows you she lacks any personal dignity. Shades of John Mayer? Will they announce their breakup next week?

    • norah says:

      they wont break up – he is in new york and she is in la – if they wanted to be in the same place it would have happened ages ago. it suits them fine imo. i think jennifer a was drunk – which other woman wd kiss someone’s pregnant belly like this and think it is funny – and grab kate hudson or emma stone at the oscars. she just seemed out of it – esp at the after party –

  32. Dawne says:

    Whatever happened to his show on HBO?

  33. TOPgirl says:

    I liked her in Friends but past that……everything about this woman is boring. She’s like a grown woman stuck in the 80’s….oh right..she is.

  34. stellar says:

    A lot of essays written in response to this post. Lol

    More Aniston please. 🙂

  35. Jane's Wasted Talent says:

    What’s going on with his jawline in the VF picture?
