Last week, it seemed like Jennifer Aniston was on top yet again with a tabloid-friendly relationship with the hot new breakout movie star Bradley Cooper. Star Magazine even put them on the cover with the enthusiastic “It’s On!” headline. So when Bradley gave the old “Jennifer Aniston is just a friend” speech in Paris last weekend, many of us were already predicting the headlines. Something along the lines of today’s National Enquirer headline “Jennifer Aniston Love Implosion”. And that was probably written before Bradley even took Renee Zellweger out on a “date” on Tuesday! Personally, I think the guy’s just playing the serial first-dater because he’s got something or someone in his personal life that he doesn’t want to make public. But maybe that’s just me – I am a conspiratorial bitch. The Enquirer’s take on the whole situation… well, I don’t really believe their story, but it still made me laugh out loud. Wait ’till you get to the part about Jennifer’s “relationship timeline”.
Jen’s new relationship pffft before it even starts! It’s back to zero minus one in the dating game for Jennifer Aniston.
After she gave Bradley Cooper her “relationship timeline” speech over an intimate dinner, the Hangover hunk slammed the brakes on their budding romance, sources say.
“Jen is devastated,” divulged a longtime friend. “She had high hopes that Bradley was the Mr. Right she’s been searching for.
“But he called Jen a few days after their big date and broke the news that he wanted to keep things casual and loose. Jen was mortified, but reluctantly agreed to save face.”
The 40-year-old actress and Bradley, 34, had been flirting ever since they shared a dinner date at his Brentwood, Calif., home while they filmed the romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You in 2007.
Still, Coop publicly blasted rumors he was dating Jen as “hilarious.” Despite that, the couple sat down for a headline-making date at New York’s Il Cantinori restaurant in New York City on June 18.
“Jen gave Bradley her ‘relationship timeline’ speech over dinner, about how she wants to be pregnant within the year and for marriage to follow soon after,” explained the friend.
That was a deal breaker for the actor, whose 11-month marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito collapsed in 2007.
“He called Jen after he returned to L.A. a few days later, and told her flat out that he thought it best that they go back to being friends. Bradley said he’s not looking for any type of commitment.”
The next day, “Jen was withdrawn. She’d been up crying to her girlfriends about how she feels her love life is doomed,” the insider revealed.

I think a lot of negative things about Aniston, but I don’t believe she’s dumb enough to give a guy a “relationship timeline” on the first date. I just have serious doubts she would sit there and tell a guy to his face, “I want to be pregnant within the next year, and then we’re going to get married, and Norman will be the ring-bearer!” Although that would be a hilarious plot for one of these stupid romantic comedies she’s always making – someone write that down. We could call it The First Dater. The tagline for the film would “She wants babies and marriage… on the first date!”

I bust a gut when I heard about Bradley dating Renee. Flipping from one middle aged actress with a reputation for being desperate to another middle aged actress with a reputation for being desperate… I guess he has a type?
well maybe she needs to stop coming on so strong
Sure..it’s there a bridge in New York for sale?
Really? Can you imagine someone saying that kind of statements in the first meeting? Come on…
I really think this was a friendly coworker dinner that got blown out of proportion by the tabloids. Possibly helped out by the reps for both of these too.
I love all this inside knowledge – unless someone was sitting at the table with them and then listening in on the phone conversation, I doubt anyone would have such info. Load of bull, as usual.
This is pure baloney, but in a lot of photos you see of her with a guy, she’s all over the guy holding onto him. She does manage to come across as needy and clingy.
Maybe if she backed off, the guys would start chasing after her.
kati- how do you know she comes on so strong? ever dated her? oh wait, you’ve probably just deduced that from all the cleverly written, well researched articles that the tabloids produce every week. Since they’re always so spot on and never carry conflicting stories and all
and btw, im not even a JA fan (nor neccessarily a brange fan for that matter) i just get annoyed by people that think they know celebrities from heresay
There’s just no way I’d buy that JA would give a “relationship timeline”. She’s not Jennifer Love Hewitt-Crazy.
Yeah, because men respond so well to “timelines.” Thanks for letting us know how Jen scares them off. It’s been 5 yrs. since she and Brad split up and she hasn’t had a decent boyfriend yet!? I’m guessing it’s either because 1) she’s that scary, or 2) she doesn’t want a real relationship esp. since it would interfere with the pity points she racked up from the Pitt-split, which has helped her career. It’s probably a combination of the two.
Oh, dear.
Poor Jen.
Poor, sad Jen.
Poor, sad, undertalented Jen.
Poor, sad, undertalented, overrated, Jen
Poor, sad, undertalented, overrated, boring Jen.
Poor…
I think you catch my el-drifto.
Jen should really patent herself as a sleeping pill. God only she makes me el-drifto off to sleep.
Oh, where are the Phyliss Dillers of the world when you need em’?
Oh stop! She did not! She is living the life of a financially independent woman who pisses off a lot of people. If you were independently wealthy would you want to ruin it all in your mansion with worrying about some guy’s moods?
BTW, didn’t Geena Davis have twins at like 50?
It’s for the best that they aren’t going to hook up anyway. They both have the same chin. Their children would look like Jay Leno. Unless one of them purchased their chin from a plastic surgeon, then it would be ok.
There was a great article in one of the UK papers about continuing sage of Branglina Aniston, the vast amounts of money made by the weekly tabloid speculation of Aniston/Jolie/Pitt relationship. They’re breaking up, they’re pregnant, they getting back together, Jen pregnant, The wedding of the Century, Brad tired of Angelina’s mood swings, Jane Pitt loves Jen more than Ang.. It appears that we have made them bigger than they are..we buy into every imagined moment of their lives and it will continue until we ignore the tempest that is Angelina/Jennifer/Bradley, but I note the amount of comments and the nature of the commentaries on this site once the three are mentioned so I don’t expect it to end any time soon, it reminds me of the forty year old triangle of Veronica/Betty/Archie.
Horseshit.
Thats the dumbest story I ever heard, and coming from the Enquirer, why would anyone believe it..He went out with Renee Z. yesterday, I quess they are the new couple now!
This is ridiculous, I’m not a JA fan , I don’t even like her acting.But come on this woman has a great life. I doubt she is hiding and crying.
Almost everyone has a relationship timeline but most people don’t admit it.
Yeah, I agree Ronnie this looks like the comic book version of Archie, Betty and Veronica.
I want to know what the hell is wrong with her that she can’t stay in a relationship. She’s pretty, nice body, has half a brain, yet is always becoming single.
The next day, “Jen was withdrawn. She’d been up crying to her girlfriends about how she feels her love life is doomed,” the insider revealed.
If she reads this stuff
Face the facts Jen, you lost Brad Pitt! No one can take his place or give you the kids you should have been having with him! Stupid Girl! Get OVER IT!
Here’s another attempt to paint her as desperate and clingy… no surpise but of course the brangelunatics will add this to their arsenal of insults.
BlueSkies, I LOVE your comment. How funny and true. I also agree with Katherine, that Jen doesn’t really want a relationship and she’s still living off of the pity points she racked up five years ago. But to make a point about Brad Pitt, I honestly don’t see that he’s the pinnacle of male perfection. He’s aging, he’s probably okay IQ-wise, but certainly no intellectual, and his acting is adequate at best (though I haven’t seen a film of his in years. After his electrifying break-out role in Thelma and Louise, I lost interest). He’s a pretty boy whose best days are behind him. So if Jen is still mourning that, she’s stupid (though I don’t know that she really is).
Why isn’t she in a relationship? I dunno…maybe because she likes being happy?
Men are a pain-in-the-butt unless you really love them and want to be with them. Or you are super insecure and will take anyone who comes your way.
Maybe she’s just picky. She’ll bother with the tabloid relationships because they are fun and create buzz but she doesn’t seem to have found anyone she actually wants to be with or bother with.
Believe it or not, some women are happier single than they have ever been with a man.
And this seems like total nonsense. They don’t even seem to really know each other. No matter how many times a tabloid says they filmed He’s Just Not That Into You “together”, it’s still a lie. They had no scenes together at all. It’s unlikely that they met more than once or twice during production.
Jeez.
LOL @ Ronnie – Betty & Veronica, nice LOL
“Jen gave Bradley her ‘relationship timeline’ speech over dinner, about how she wants to be pregnant within the year and for marriage to follow soon after,” explained the friend.
OH COME ON LOL. I don’t think much of Aniston and I firmly believe her PR guy is behind a lot of the stories and rumours and “love connections” and no one can convince me otherwise but COME ON!!! That is SUCH a load 😀 Actually, I believe 90% of the stories about Betty/Archie/Veronica are false (thanks again, Ronnie LOL) but some are just more ludicrous than others. This is one of those LOL
She’s pretty, nice body, has half a brain, yet is always becoming single.
***********************************************
Maybe it takes more than looks, a nice body and half a brain to keep a man?
I would imagine she’s a kind of boring dinner date. Once you’ve exhausted the weather as a topic of conversation, what else could you talk about with her?
She’s a classic example of a buttaface.
Hash Browns-
“Maybe she’s just picky?” Picky…hmmm, just how did you reach that conclusion?
Dating teddy bear and funny man Vince Vaughn?
Dating John Mayer (of all people) and breaking up with him twice?
Do either of these men scream “hunk” or “beefcake” to you? To anyone, for that matter? Can you see one of them making the most beautiful list?
@Josephina but if she just dated only pretty boys i bet you would be calling her shallow for only going for looks….
face facts she cant win with you
its obvious she doesnt have a type, her taste has range from adam duritz to tate donavan to brad pitt to vince vaugh to paul sculfor to the film grip guy she was rumoured to be dating and pictured with and then john mayer… the woman taste seems to always differ
if i was actually going to say she had a type, i would say her type were douchebags,and i mean all the men had a hint of douchebaggery in them LOL
FYI i remember a post were people were screamin that she doesnt seem to have a hobby, hmm its been know for year that she paints even brad pitt when they were married used to talk about their shared passion of arts, him his architecture and for her painting; i remember anold interview with him in their house where he took the interviewer on the tour of the room they both did their arts
again to Josephina: what is wrong with a woman dating a funny guy like vince? are you saying because he isnt your type therefore he cant be someone elses type
First of all, I never post here cause of my poor English but this time I simply had too!Sorry for any mistakes.
@Josephina, looks is not all!Perhaps after Brad experience she doesn’t want a “hunk” or “beefcake” at all.And they also say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder who are we to judge her man choices (appearance wise)
If the whole Bradley Cooper thing was only a PR stunt, perhaps it was good for Cooper’s career but def. not for Aniston opinion. For some people, who believe everything they read, it’s another proof that she’s a desperate, clingly, almost insane woman driven by her hormons. I mean, c’mon, this story about her giving a dating timeline? No woman I know would do such a thing, and my friends did some ridiculous things wen dating.
I only wonder- why nobody thinks that George Clooney is deeply unhappy being single? Why single women, no matter how succesful and accomplished are seen as inadequate and secretly pining after every man that shaked their hand?
@HashBrowns – Jeez bless your innocent little heart! God forbid a woman over a certain age should be financially independant and happy to NOT be in a relationship long term. NO WAY MAN, that shiznitt is NOT ALLOWED.
If you are over 30, single and childless then there is NO WAY on this earth it’s by choice – it’s because you are a fat, sad, desperate old hag who can’t find a man who’ll put up with her constant demands for marriage and babies.
Catch up would you? 😉
“I would imagine she’s a kind of boring dinner date.”
Why? She’s had a pretty neat life. No one here knows what she’s really like, what her interests are, etc. They assume from pap photos and tabloid (untrue) stories they know, but they don’t. She is a real person and I doubt all she can come up with to talk about is the weather.
@mila – you bring up an excellent question about the difference between the perception of Jennifer and George being single. I agree. Why isn’t George pining away until he finds his next waitress? (which I know he has)
Oh, and your English is very good. 🙂
@Jag
Maybe because George always says that he does not want marriage and kids AT ALL while Jennifer keeps repeating that it’s still on her cards for the future. And btw George is still being asked from time to time if he’s changed his opinion on the matter.
Another ‘source’ or ‘insider’ Rubbish. I am glad I don’t buy those rags.
Another bag of rubbish to feed into her pity party cup. I say well done on Bradley Cooper’s part. I have more respect for that man every day. I like the way he spoke up for himself when the wrong information was being feed to the media.
The men around her should stay on guard.
Another ’source’ or ‘insider’ Rubbish. I am glad I don’t buy those rags.
Because we get to read it for free on CB? 🙂
LOVE IT@ JONNIE R
Except I have to add in needy little attention seeking pathetic Ho, because she’s alllll too similar to my husbands needy EX who is equally as trite and annoying.
Thank you.
What you all don’t know is that I used to be a fan of Jen’s..until she publicly aired her dirty laundry upon her divorce with Brad Pitt. I found every one of her interviews in 2005 to be missteps taken by a professional actress, i.e. not looking ahead to see the silver lining that should have been waiting for her. I believe strongly that by now, she could have indeed found another love strong enough to commit to and have children as she has stated. By keeping up with what Brad and Angie are doing, well it just took away what she could have been building on her own. The John Mayer relationship was a clear indication that she was either not serious or a bad choice that presents a conflict with what she claims to want in a future spouse.
While dating John Mayer she states that, contrary to earlier quotes, she was never the type to get married and have kids right away. OK, I can see that. But why have the fans believe that she wants to marry and have kids within five years of her divorce? That is what she said.
Josephina, you bring up good points. Unfortunately, her fans are blind to reason and not that bright. They think Jen is some kind of saint for surviving a divorce which millions of women go through on a daily basis (only with zero money or sympathy). I don’t understand it. Donate your time to a battered woman’s shelter, not to this attention-seeking, untalented ego-driven actress.
