Have Renee Zellweger & Bradley Cooper already split?

whitney art arrivals 180609
Yesterday, we had some early coverage of Us Weekly’s cover story this week, “Why Bradley Chose Renee”, which set up a new uncool Bermuda Triangle of Renee Zellweger, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston. We didn’t have any kind of excerpt from Us Weekly – only a similar story on People about why Bradley and Renee “just clicked”. Since Us editor Janice Min left the publication a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a really significant drop-off in the quality of Us’s online content. However, it seems like the print editions are consistently keeping up the quality of bitchiness, because I just read an excerpt from the cover story. In the words of Jezebel, “This article was written by someone on Team Renée, because it is very derogatory towards Jennifer Aniston.” Here’s the rundown:

Bradley Cooper and Renée Zellweger: “It’s on,” says a source. A source says Jen feels “rejected and upset” and “screwed over” and “doesn’t see what Renée has that she doesn’t.”

But! Another source points out that guys like Renée because she is “so no-drama,” “she just does her thing, has her life, and is cool.” Also: “She’s really happy, she doesn’t need anyone to feel complete. She isn’t absorbed by Hollywood.”

Whereas Jennifer “won’t date a normal guy. She goes after the hottest thing of the moment – -what she knows will get her the most time in the spotlight.”

Bradley Cooper once said, when it comes to a woman: “I’d say authenticity is the only prerequisite.” Apparently Jennifer Aniston is “not natural” and everything she does “is an act.” Renée is “super fun” and is always “laughing and optimistic about life.” And! “People want to be with her because she makes them happy.”

This triangle is getting coverage in other tabloids too – OK! has a story about Jen telling Renee she could “have” Bradley because “Jen is bored with the whole thing… She’s less interested in Renée than in why she’d choose a guy who’d be interested in someone like Renée. She’s disappointed in herself more than anything…”

Unfortunately, this morning Page Six is already calling an end to Renee and Bradley. Well, not really. They’re just asking why this alleged couple is taking such pains to avoid being with each other after their ass-grabbing Barcelona holiday:

RENEE Zellweger stepped out without rumored beau Bradley Cooper at Tuesday night’s celebration for her new movie, “My One and Only.” She went to Rouge Tomate on 60th Street for the Skyy Vodka after- party and was spotted “chatting up two good-looking guys at the bar.”

Meanwhile, Cooper brought his parents instead of Zellweger to Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari’s wedding Saturday in New Jersey, where Jeremy Piven played drums with the Starlight Orchestras.

Don’t they know that when you’re “dating” you are supposed to spend every waking moment with each other, walk every red carpet, attend every event together? Right? So… are Bradley and Renee for real? Are they already over? Were they even something to begin with? I think People Magazine’s source probably had it right yesterday when they said, “They’re not ready for red carpets. They don’t want to be public just yet.”

    Probably, becaue he is gay.

  2. rop says:

    I never believed they were together to begin with.

  3. Beth says:

    Tabloids are funny. Couples can only be engaged or broken-up.

  4. Iggles says:

    Wow. Ridic. Maybe they’re not ready to walk the red carpet together. With celebrities moving so fast — one minute hooking up the next minute engaged or pregnant — perhaps they want to take their time. Ain’t nothing wrong with that!

  5. Rosalee says:

    dating is usually the beginning of a relationship..I think the tabloids expect a couple to be married on their second dates or be deemed heartbroken failures. In the real world we actually take time to form a bond. Dating is like test driving a car..it takes a while to fine the model that suits your needs..and sometimes you find a little coupe you enjoy driving but know it’s totally inappropriate for you..

  6. Toe says:

    She has great legs!!! But is he really gay? I dont get that vibe from him.

  7. Lola says:

    I don’t buy that they were ever together. Besides, doesn’t she (Renee) have a history of being tangled up with gay men? I think she’s cute as a button and I respect that she generally stays out of the limelight.

  8. DD says:

    i feel sorry for Renee, she seems like an unlikely tabloid target. Her face seems less pinched these days. It’s looking better.

  9. diddy says:

    i feel for Renee as well,i doubt the woman wants to be part of this tabloid nonesense

  10. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Can you say ‘beard’?

  11. KateNonymous says:

    Maybe Bradley Cooper is just dating different people briefly, as many non-celebrities do. Lots of people hook up, maybe go out a few times, and then go their separate ways–they just don’t have to do it with tabloid headlines chronicling and speculating.

  12. Sani says:

    Now may be Aniston fan’s can leave poor Renee alone. She does not deserve to be bash by them. I understand why men don’t want Jen for that reason alone.

  13. fizXgirl314 says:

    lol… yet another couple living out a relationship only in the tabloids… very disturbing… yet, I must be amused as well because i’m still here reading about it??

  14. Katyusha says:

    I’m trying to figure out how you guys come up with him being gay.
    Clooney – gay
    DiCaprio – gay
    Cooper – gay

    I don’t see the pattern here.

  15. princess pea says:

    Hm, the People ‘source’ quote is silly, though. “They don’t want to be public just yet.” Um. Have they no access to the interwebs? I guess they haven’t realized that we all saw the hand-in-butt-pocket photos from Spain? If it is real at all, it’s already public.

    I like them together because I think they’re both boring as beige paint.

    I do think it’s stupid that tabs (and sometimes real people, too) think that a couple has to be together all the time. But the implication that a RED CARPET is a sign of commitment is ridiculous.

  16. Colleen says:

    Why is Renee Zellwegger morphing into Rachel Zoe?

  17. Cheyenne says:

    “This triangle is getting coverage in other tabloids too”
    ***********************************

    What “triangle”? A couple of dates doesn’t constitute a relationship. He’s never come out and said either woman is his love interest. The tabs are reading way too much into this and apparently Celebitchy is too.

  18. Charity is Chic says:

    i feel for Renee as well,i doubt the woman wants to be part of this tabloid nonesense

    So you think that Renee having a movie to promote this week is just a coincidence?

    Renee is loving this! People are actually talking about her. Ask yourself, when was the last time anyone talked about Renee Zellwegger?

    The US Weekly piece was written by her publicist. Without the Aniston angle no one would care about Renee or who she is dating. And they certainly wouldn’t know she had a movie coming out on Friday.

  19. birdgherl says:

    He’s gay. We all need to just get on with it. Spin for his leading man career, blah blah.

    PS Her body is AMAZING!

  20. Nataly says:

    Maybe they are casually dating or are fuckbuddies, as a couple they are really boring. She has a movie coming out all this bradley cooper publicity has people talking about her, I’m sure that makes Renee’s PR flack really happy. Renee is not above playing hollywood pr games when she has a movie coming out.

  21. Cinderella says:

    Her body is amazing, as are those shoes.

  22. Cheyenne says:

    How can you tell her body is amazing in that sack dress? She has nice toned arms, though, and I love the shoes.

    I can’t believe she put on that sack. She usually has a much better sense of style than that. She was at the Oscars a few years back in a vintage yellow Jean Dessés I’d kill for. You can see it here:

  23. cleveland says:

    I buy the Us Weekly angle. Both Renee and Aniston have dated musicians. Renne dated Smashing Pumpkins singer and another rock star before Chesney. Aniston dated Mayer. But, the true famewhore brought their date to the Oscars and posed around town necking. Seems to me that Jen picks ’em for the spotlight appeal now. Maybe, that’s why guys are that into Jen.

    INF DailyDespite denials of any offset romance, it seems like there is some truth to the rumors that Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have been getting cozy on the set of The Bounty. A source who works on the movie told RadarOnline.com that between shooting a terrible fight scene on Wednesday, the co-stars were “lovey-dovey”, even sharing a stolen kiss!

    “We saw him give her a little kiss,” says the source who was onset during the scene at the Belmont Park race track parking lot. “They were very lovey-dovey.”

    The source also confirmed that the two actors are often spotted in Aniston’s trailer and are flirty and affectionate even after the cameras stop rolling. “We watched them at one point start to hold hands, but she pulled back because she realized people were watching,” the source added.

    On Thursday, their intimate moments took a silly turn as Aniston filmed a scene in which she was running away from horses: “Jen and Gerard were joking around and he started to feed her popcorn and peanuts. He was popping them in her mouth and she was laughing while eating. The director came over and said ‘What are you guys doing?’ and then joked ‘We’re doing peanuts in another scene, where did you get that?’ Jen said “Props” and the props guy put his hand up as if to say ‘guilty.’”

    Aniston- who seems relaxed and happy on set- may have hit gold with Butler. According to the source, the fledgling relationship is “cool and sweet.”

    “They look like they’re in the beginning phase of a relationship that’s really nice.”

  25. Jennifer a nasty person? says:

    Dear Ted:
    I have a question about Jennifer Aniston. Remember when she went to the Golden Globes and used a cane? I heard that she hurt her foot because she kicked a couch in a rage. My source said she flew into fits fairly often and Brad Pitt just kind of took it, for a while it seems. Is this true? I know it’s a rather old story, but wondering if this is true of her behavior, similar to that of Jen Garner. Also I promise I am much nicer, even though I share a name with them. Is there a nice Jennifer in Hollywood?
    —jenn

    Dear Angry Aniston:
    Her publicist confirmed she banged it on furniture, but was it displacing her anger toward Brad? We certainly wouldn’t doubt it. Pitt put up with a lot during his marriage to Jen—no wonder he totally did a 180, both lifestyle- and personality-wise, when he shacked up with Angie. And we love Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jennifer Connelly, Jennifer Hudson…Don’t let a few bad Jen’s ruin the name for ya!

  26. Shanny says:

    Ok so Cheyenne can put up a link but I can’t. You guys really did not want the pic I linked seen huh, because it was so obvious the person was faking something, guess you really are a suporter of the lies, at first I thought links were not alowed but now I see Cheyenne, the one person I really wanted to see the pic I linked post a link. Interesting. it is ok the truth will all eventually come out.

  27. Jazz says:

    @Colleen – that’s what I thought too!

  28. Sheigh says:

    Eurk! Rene becomes a skinny body building ugly bitch! Look those legs! What a drama vision like Mrs Beckham!
    Brad only enjoys some funny bachelor time ! I don’t really think he was with her! Especially since his ray of light marriage – divorce!

  29. kim says:

    Jennifer and Gerard spotting holding hands per People magazine. I guess they have movies coming out soon.
