US Weekly: Aniston only dates guys who ‘keep her as high profile as possible’

fp_3468953_bounty_set_scp_0
I kind of go back and forth on whether I find Jennifer Aniston normal and likable or borderline annoying. We get to learn about the celebrities through their interviews and comments to the press, and sometimes I find Aniston down to earth and relatable and other times I’m not so sure. After she did that Elle interview in which she told her good friend all about her troubled childhood and “lonely girl” persona I kind of smacked myself in the head and sighed. She basically recounted the same things she’s said in interviews for years, and while she may have been honestly trying to set the record straight she was treading very familiar well-worn ground. I want to hear something different from Aniston, and I don’t want her to feed the media’s image of her by continuing to talk about it. Maybe it’s hard to avoid, though, and she thinks the best way to deal with it is to talk about.

Anyway, one key component of Aniston’s public image is her dating life. Ever since her marriage broke up there’s been intense speculation about who she’s with and why. Aniston worked hard to keep her romance with co-star Vince Vaughn under wraps, but she seemed happy to go public with her romances with John Mayer and Bradley Cooper. It looks to me like she’s adaptable to whatever the guy she’s dating wants, and that she’s open to being as press-friendly with the relationship as her partner is. US Weekly claims in a kind of snarky article that Aniston gets involved in relationships for the press and attention and that she “won’t date a normal guy.” This comes right after the news that she was spotted out on a date with co-star Gerard Butler, and that they were holding hands. Maybe she’s just dating the guys in her social circle, and she can’t help it if they’re also famous.

Seems fitting that Jennifer Aniston has been spotted holding hands with Gerard Butler. Friends of the actress say she pursues only guys who can keep her as high profile as possible.

“Jennifer won’t date a normal guy,” a source tells the current issue of Us Weekly of the 40-year-old actress.

“She goes after the hottest thing of the moment, what she knows will get her the most time in the spotlight,” the insider continues.

Aniston is currently filming The Bounty Hunter with Gerard Butler, who starred in The Ugly Truth (which made $27 million in its opening weekend).

Before that, she pursued Bradley Cooper, who anchored The Hangover, which has earned more than $400 million worldwide since hitting theaters in June.

She’s also dated John Mayer (who won five Grammys in 2009 alone), and of course was wed to Brad Pitt — arguably the biggest star in Hollywood.

[From US Weekly]

Someone has it out for Aniston. If she’s with Gerard Butler good for her. To me the real issue is that Aniston picks guys who are not ready for a commitment at all, not that they’re famous or that she’s somehow out for press. I think she’s just ending up with those guys because those are the ones who are around her. Maybe she needs a nice director or producer, someone who isn’t a famous name but who has success on her level. It’s got to be hard to find a “normal” guy when you’re exceptionally rich and famous. How is Gerard Butler not “normal” and by “normal” does US Weekly mean not famous, not rich or both?

    that pattern hides your moobs Gerard…well played sir.

  2. Enonymous says:

    They all are overexpose and need to disappear already, Jennifer Aniston and the other two, A & B, who I am not going to fully name. These people sure make a lot of movies when they barely have very little box office success, only ones in a blue moon if they are lucky. As for her and Gerard Butler, they suite eachother, they are both equally fugly.

  3. lilmiss says:

    Really getting sick about hearing about this woman, and I always kinda liked her!

    THAT being said, I doubt she dates for publicity, she gets enough of that. I think she just connects with whoever she is working closely too and voila they might start dating. Seems natural to me.

  4. Praise St. Angie! says:

    “I think she’s just ending up with those guys because those are the ones who are around her.”

    I often think that’s why actors/actresses wind up together…actually, we see it all the time. How many actors have coupled after meeting on a film set? even teen actors hook up that way.

  5. prees says:

    us weekly is full of sh!t with this story with their source being jennifer’s friends they just won’t leave this women alone

  6. PJ says:

    It’s pretty obvious that somebody at US has it in for Aniston. Accusing her of only dating men who will bring her publicity is beyond ridiculous. They are only hurting their own credibility as a publication by running these stupid stories. But I guess Jen sells magazines, and it’s a recession, so they’ll make up anything they can to get readers.

    By the way, it annoys me how the media keeps talking about her “relationship” with Bradley Cooper. They went out to dinner once! Big deal. The media hype about her is just unreal.

    By the way I read that the “date” with Gerard was a group dinner over the weekend.

  7. Bubulle says:

    I totally believe that story . I mean she’s in her forties, she’s not seen as a great actress and became A list when she married Brad Pitt. So yes she needs to be attached to a popular guy more than ever to stay relevant.

  8. Ggirl says:

    All the stories that surround this chick along with her same ol’ look are so boring they are MOLDY!!! Get a new look Aniston! And for gosh sakes stay out of the spotlight and give everyone a chance to forget you. Cultivate some mystique by developing your interests and talents instead of trying to find it through yet another douche relationship. Has the sun fried her brain that badly that she over looks the obvious?!

  9. Roma says:

    Totally agree with P.S.A. – how many “normal” people end up dating coworkers and friends of friends? You end up liking people that you spend the most time with, or that’s how you get introduced to them. I think when you’re famous, you just end up meeting other famous people too. It’s not like Jennifer is going to end up with someone she meets at the starbucks counter.

  10. diddy says:

    US Weekly is really over the top now……if they are going to use this logic then they might as well write this very same article for the many other celebrities in hollywood that have only dated celebrities like themselves.

    This theory is so weak its laughable. And what the hell do they mean by a normal guy, Do they mean someonewho isnt as rich as her or famous? yeah right like a woman worth 150 million dollars is just going to date any average joe who might be a golddigger.

    Celebrities tend to date in their social circle and thats why they always end up dating each other.

    And usweekly need to cut their crap about her dating ‘IT BOYS’ , none of the men she has dated apart from brad pitt have ever been ‘it boys’ or more famous than her.

    i dont recall john mayer ,tate , vince or paul being flavour of the months before she started dating them……

  11. Rose says:

    Jennifer Aniston is A list with or without a boyfriend. This ‘source’ laden story sounds like the usual clap trap the tabloids spew.

  12. Ursula says:

    Someone has it bad for Jen at USweekly. You can tell from the way they call Brad the ‘biggest star in hollywood’. He is not, and has never been. He is the biggest tabloid male ho, and his wife the female replica and that is very different from being the biggest star.

    I like Jen, I like the way she handled herself post divorce especially when Brangelina and their fans decided to vilify her and push her under the carpet like an old blouse. I am happy that she refused to become yesterday’s news as some would have wanted her to become while Brangelina rode their golden carpet to the ‘new golden couple of tinseltown’.

    As long as she is still in the news, the adultery stain on Brangelina will never go away. That is why the Brange fans hate her. Good for her that she has held her own against all odds.

  13. diddy says:

    US Weekly really has in for her lately?

    when she was spotted out at dinner with bradley cooper, Us Weekly was the only mag that was saying it was a pr stun on both their parts and that they are doing it to get press . Now that cooper is dating renee its the very same usweekly that is carry stories of aniston being heartbroken about it and in tears blah blah blah.

    They need to make up their minds , its either her relationships are just pr stuns which if ended why would she be heartbroken about it when no hearts are invovled. or if they are genuine that the reason she gets heartbroken and sad and lonely like the tabs would led us to believe most of the time.

    it has to be one of the other ,because the two image the tabloids try to paint contradict itself.

  14. dee says:

    Why can’t the tabloids leave her alone…
    I don’t see her trying to be in the public eye all the time. She goes to work does her job and then relaxes at home.
    She doesn’t go out to flaunt her charities or her god child for christ sake. LEAVE HER ALONE

  15. liz :) says:

    I think she is borderline annoying, never liked her. I don’t know why, I can’t really explain it but for me all of her success is from Brad Pitt. Ok, she was at Friends and then… Yeah not really the awesome career of all the times. She is no Sandra Bullock or Anne Hathaway,or Angelina Jolie. My point is that she needs publicity, without it believe me she wouldn’t be notice by anyone. Aniston needs to stop being the martyr & put herself together already. Move on, she doesn’t have the need to date douchebags like Mayer. Make good movies & stop whining in every magazine, pleasee pleasee leave alone Brad Pitt already.

  16. Rosalee says:

    One of the significant areas is the lack of control regarding the media’s speculation regarding Aniston’s life..Us weekly is on very thin ice..the beginning of a libel suit. Maybe this would end the irresponsible reporting on the lives of people in the public arena.

  17. Lys says:

    I do the same. I just date who helps me to grow. It’s natural.

  18. diddy says:

    @Liz :
    are sucess is from friends , the reason she is mega loaded and known is from friends and not because she dated brad pitt or some other dude.

    sure her marriage to brad pitt increased her profile even more(doesnt that happen to every woman that dates him), but jennifer aniston was famously know around the world and talked about in magazines for for years because of friends and before she met brad pitt; so dont give me that nonsense that she is only famous because of brad pitt.

    Yes even before the days of brad pitt, aniston was the most talked about friend’s cast member(i think alot of it had to do with the hair thing and the whole ross and rachel thing).

  19. QB says:

    Never watched friend and I did not like her movies. But why should she get in a relationship that is going to bring something to the table??

    She is not getting any younger and her movies are not that great, so if she can bring attention to them by getting in a high profile relationship why not?!

    PS: If we are talking about gossip and tv shows she is A list but I don’t consider her an A List , for me A list are people like Clint Eastwood , Hellen Mirren , Cate Blanchet…..

  20. Ursula says:

    Liz, I would say that before Brad, Angelina was not an A lister, if she was, she was on the very edge, like Catherine Heigl is today but not as popular, just notorious. Jen in the late nineties, pre Brad was as famous as Brad. Can you say that Angelina was as famous as Jen was in the late 90s? Or as popular for that matter? She was a freak and a circus show.

    Of course Jen has manipulated her status, but Brange have manipulated theirs more. Is it Jen selling baby pictures to tabloids? I can imagine the vitriol she would get if she took up photography, took near nude pictures of her man of the moment and sold them to a magazine.

  21. bored says:

    I have never understood her appeal. She just keeps rehashing the same tired old pity party to keep her career afloat whilst prefacing it with “I want to move on with my life”. I don’t think she cares about B&A at all – it’s spin. And really, she’s not much of an actress. She’s exactly the same in every movie/ tv show. Down to the hairstyle.

  22. sigh says:

    If/when she dates a “normal” man, then everyone will either —
    1. Give her crap for not being with a “Most Beautiful” or the top earner in his field,
    2. Call HER desperate to not die alone/childless,
    3. Call it an obvious move to change her “lonely girl” image,
    4. Claim he’s just riding her fame/money,
    5. Read every nuiance and claim “It’s Over”
    6. Endlessly compare him to her exes in some fashion, or
    7. Etc. (Your prediction here)

    It will be everything BUT she found true love cuz that wouldn’t sell many mags for long (and NO, I am not a fan of any of them…), but she can give the “cutesy meet/quirky love” roles a rest for a minute.

  23. kim says:

    AJ was paid 15 million for Mr and Mrs Smith before she became involved with BP that’s AList. AJ is an international star. JA is practially unknown abroad esp in Asia and Africa. The US weekly article is BS.Almost every movie AJ has made recently has been #1 Beowulf, Wanted ,KFP or critically aclaimed Changeling(oscar nom)BP’s movies Burn after Reading#1, CCOBB#2, IB#1 and oscar nom for CCOBB

  24. Neelyo says:

    I didn’t like her when she started out and I still don’t like her. She’s an average looking sitcom actress who’s made a career out of a hairstyle and her dating history, nothing more.

    I didn’t like Brad Pitt until he dumped her.

  25. Tammy King says:

    Maybe John Mayer and her did make a good match afterall. They both seem to love the attention and themselves, a whole bunch!

  26. Mimi says:

    Well said Kim this trolls are so fools and kepping bringing Angie and Brad for the subject just to try in vain to belittle 2 of Hollywood’s most ordered and well paid nowadays

  27. Bill Hicks is God says:

    That first picture reminds me of a younger Joachim Phoenix. With a weave. Folks that think she’s remotely attractive need to stop eating the blue acid.

  28. teri says:

    I really didn’t watch friends so I don’t know what the big hoopla was. I know it was mentioned numerous times that she had good hair? I’ve never heard of hair making a person relevant, thought it was so bizarre. After hearing that she spends 15,000 on her hair I was really speechless. I can’t believe anyone spends that much on hair. I guess when you have no family you just hoard your money.

  29. ... says:

    Jennifer Anniston “He’ll never make that mistake again”. Guess she spoke to soon. If he’s really dating Jen I hope he’s ready for all the backlash he’ll get once he taps it and leaves it, you know how her fans treat all her numerous ex’s.

  30. vanja says:

    trashy story.leave her alone!

  31. fizXgirl314 says:

    Why is there so much animosity toward this woman? I just don’t get it… has her presence effected the well being of the Jolie-Pitts in any way? It doesn’t seem like it… they appear to be doing fairly well… so why all the hatred??? *scratches head*

  32. krista says:

    Actually, she spent $50,000 on her hair stylist for one week! Hey, if you are known for your great hair more than your acting, then hair is a major priority! She’s not a great actress (little range), she doesn’t want to change her looks for roles often, she’s not a style icon unless you shop at Wal-Mart, so what’s left to get attention? Showmances! It’s pretty obvious.

  33. DK says:

    If she’s only dating people in her social circle or co-stars, then how did she date John mayer?? She said herself she didn’t know his music before she started dating him. But dating him had her on the cover of magazine after magazine. She definitely only wants to date guys that will get her more press, or is a hollywood it-guy. I think people are fascinated at a rich beautiful woman acting so insecure and desperate and depressed. It’s pathetic and maybe makes ourselves feel better? I think she’s just someone who wants to be depressed and unhappy, and wants sympathy. She wants people to feel sorry for her, it’s pathetic! She has everything she could possibly want, and she acts like a powerless unhappy 15 year old. She had a chance to make it work with Brad, or he wouldn’t have gone on that vacation with her, and decided she would rather be pathetic and depressed. From what I have understood after countless reading of all the articles about it, brad had emotionally cheated on her at that point, but not physically…yes it’s bad, but if you actually want to be happy and want your marriage to work, you will deal with the issues, examine why you are both unhappy and have a renewed commitment. I feel like that’s what Brad offered her and she was too ‘happy’ being unhappy to take it. If Brad had his heart set on leaving her, he would not have gone on that vacation with her and been all lovey dovey. And I do think that Angelina is a disgusting manipulative homewrecker, but I still think Jennifer had a chance to make it work and she chose not to. She is definitely milking the ‘feel sorry for me’ angle. It was ok for a couple of years, and now it’s just pathetic and it really seems like she has problems, and no wonder Brad had problems with her. She had plenty of time to find someone else and get married and have kids if that’s what she wanted to do, and obviously it isn’t. Yes she wants people to continue to feel sorry for her. She’s rich pretty and somewhat smart, and she should be more thankful for what she has in her life.

  34. Bill Hicks is God says:

    fizXgirl314: I couldn’t give a rat’s behind about les Jolie-Pitts, I just think Aniston is overrated. She’s doing pretty good for someone with no discernable talent. Having good hair isn’t a talent, it’s good genes. Afghan hounds have nice hair too.

  35. krista says:

    I agree 33. Her latest interview is so FUNNY! In one part, she talks about representing all the “lonely” people, and she supports “anybody who is in a place that’s not their strongest.” What manipulative bs, but BOY, she knows her fan base well. “HELLO, lonely people! COME TO ME! I am your crazy leader. COME to me!” And, they do! They come in droves to defend the Aniston. haha

  36. fizXgirl314 says:

    Bill Hicks, maybe not you… but there seem to be a lot of Jolie-Pitt fans who vehemently hate her… which I don’t get because it appears that the Jolie-Pitts are doing fairly well and their image is much less negative than Aniston’s… so why hate her? she seems harmless… at least as far as the JP clan is concerned…

  37. diddy says:

    DK:
    she meet mayer at a hollywood party she mentioned that on david letterman and elle magazine mentioned the same thing.

    from the elle interview this month:

    kirsten:I pull out Jen’s laptop to watch the trailer for Lave Happens, Jen’s new movie and the impetus for this article . I ask her about her role, Eloise, an eccentric florist who has an encounter with a self-help expert (Aaron Eckhart) who saves everyone but himself. Jen describes how she created the foil for Eckhart’s “conservative, repressed” character with “a girl who says things straight, plays no games, and is viscerally connected to the present moment.”

    JEN: At first, I was struggling to wrap my head around the story of two people who go through this relationship in the course of a few days. How would this girl have a whole beginning-middle-and-end experience with a guy in that brief amount of time ? But guess what: Humans do irrational things, and there are times when I have to tell my overly rational mind to get out of the way so I can get into the head space of a girl who would do that. [Jen is about to suggest that she’s not the kind of girl who would ever— but she can’t get away with it in present company. | All right. If I think about it, I have experienced a version of that. I met a man at a party once, and we started an e-mail exchange that quickly [writer tweak: very quickly] turned into one of the greatest emotional experiences I’ve ever had.9

  38. krista says:

    WAIT. One of the “greatest emotional experiences” she’s “ever had” was w/JOHN MAYER!? Seriously? She sounds SO stupid, full of herself and corny as hell. No wonder men smash their heads in trying to get away from her. Hell, Lemon-face Renee seems so much better than Corny Aniston. Apparently, Lemon-face likes beer and dirty jokes. You made the right choice, Bradley Cooper!

  39. hmm says:

    Anyone who thinks that Aniston isn’t a media manipulator is seriously delusional. She and Huvane have been playing games for years, and that’s fine because everyone does it. But, why for the love of God do her fans act like she is the only star in the universe who is above playing the game? Her moves have become obvious to the point that you can predict them before they happen.
    She is an average actress who has made a boatload of money in part because women identify with her because she was dumped by Pitt and Vaughn and Mayer. And in our haste to make things as black and white as possible, Aniston has become the universal symbol of victimhood/sainthood, Brangelina has been demonized, and any man who dumped her (or is just uninterested in her) is vilified or douchified.
    I also find it interesting that when the tabs report negative stories on Brangelina or when they’re the focus of scurrilous blind items, some people on this board don’t seem to have a problem with it and take much glee in repeating them ad nauseum. Yet, as soon as Aniston’s the target, well Us is a smut peddler and Aniston is a victim, again.
    But every rumor about Brangelina reported in Life and Style must be based in fact.
    It’s a game and most of us have taken sides and that’s fine, but please stop acting like because you support Aniston that your feelings and thoughts have more validity or that she is somehow deserving of blind loyalty.

  40. PJ says:

    I don’t understand why so many posters seem to believe that Aniston is a not-very-successful actress.

    Isn’t it enough that every year she’s in the top 10 or top 20 list of the highest-earning actors in the world?

    Isn’t it enough that for 10 years she was the lead star of “Friends,” one of the most popular TV shows of all time? The show is still on TV in re-runs every night (where I live anyway).

    If she’s not your cup of tea, you’re entitled to your opinion, but to constantly assert that she’s having an unsuccessful acting career is bogus and not reality-based.

  41. diddy says:

    am sure if she was to date a regular average joe, it would be this very same usweekly magazine that would run headline that the man is only after her money and fame or that she is a sugar mummy lol who uses her wealth to attract her bf lol

  42. lisa says:

    How many more years will it take for there to be a story or thread about Jen that does not make a reference or dig at Brad/Angie.. This triangle is over. Everyone has or should have moved on at this point. We are heading into year 6. I don’t think most people can remember who they were with 6 years ago.. Taking a dig at B/A is just another way to keep them connected.. The man has a family and made his choice.. He seems quite happy with it. Jen seem content in her life so let the nasty swipes end. Grow up people

  43. DD says:

    WAIT. One of the “greatest emotional experiences” she’s “ever had” was w/JOHN MAYER!? Seriously? She sounds SO stupid and corny as hell.
    **************************************
    F’in hysterical. She is seriously a dope. I was never fan of this dipsh*t. No thanks to John-Mayers’ leftovers.
    Go away, please.

  44. DK says:

    Diddy: I figure she met John at some party or another, but I doubt he was in her social circle. And I’m sure there’s many other people she can meet at a hollywood party – executives, producers, businessmen etc. I just don’t think it’s a coincidence that it was yet another celebrity…it’s one thing if she’s working with them on set…but was just a party she met him at

  45. carrie says:

    OMG, how is dating douch*bag Mayer a “great emotional experience”? Isn’t he into water sports? Is that what’s she talking about? Did she feel AMAZING while he peed on her? Did it make her feel more enlightened or something? Ewwwwww

  46. Goddess711 says:

    I soooo want that dress. And Gerard Butler standing behind me wouldn’t be bad either, but I’m LOVING that dress!!!!!

  47. Magsy says:

    I’m getting sooooo tired of hearing about JA. All she does is make lame movies.

  48. as good as it gets says:

    @hmm: I get your point, it is kind of amusing to see both sides claim “my celeb is better than thou and thine celebs.”

    yBUT our post is all about making the “the others” realise how extreme they are and make them stop bitching… doing exactly the same. Sounds to me a bit like seeing the mote in the other fellow’s eye and ignoring the beam in your own.

    I don´t really care who your worshiped one is, because I´m not taking sides here (Aniston, Jolie und Pit are only humans and they do make mistakes!)

    Still, I like your point, it is fun to discuss all these gossip matters with you guys, but when it comes to this threesome, too many people take it too personal.

  49. charlene says:

    The John Mayer comments are funny. I remember when she said, “we adore one another!” to some magazine. Who talks like that? Somehow, I doubt Mayer saw it that exact same way. Heehee

  50. nnn says:

    Didn’t jennifer Aniston said that Mayer was the man she loves the most compared to all the other ones before him, or something along the lines ? Didn’t she also said that she adores him and was smitten about the way he ‘think thought’s. She used words towards Mayer that she never, ever used to describe her feelings towards any other man, Brad included. Hence he is the only one she took twice.

    If it’s really the case then it makes sense that this breakup is one of the most devastated experience for her and people should stop to chose who she should love or not. She is a grown a** woman and loving someone is as intimate and personal that going to pee. Nobody has the right to dictate anyone who he/she should love or stop to love or love again.

    It also showed that her choice of men for whom she feels in par with her is not necessary the one people, her fans included perceive the best for her. Remembered when she took Mayer the second time around ? She said in a mag that people should just STFU when it comes to her choice of taking him back.

    It seems that the one she really felt comfortable with are the likes of Mayer and one must ask oneself why she married Pitt in the first place and stayed in that marriage so long when so many evidences of not so well being among them were up there : depression,therapy for both of them , long absence between them while expressing they didn’t feel the urge to go back to their betterhAlf, no working for Brad for two years staying miserable on the couch all day long, the couple entering boozing and coke fest, ect.

    My point is, since she admitted never loving someone as much as Mayer, Since she did to him what she never did to any other man : flew to Europe to chase him (something she publicly refused to do after months of absence with Brad), took him twice after one of the most humiliating dumping where she tolerate his antics, not using harsh words for something towards him…so why in the hell is she constantly linked to the one person she divorced 5 years ago and who is Mayer’s antithesis and to who when they were married didn’t show 20 % of the same affection, tolerance that she showed to Mayer ? And the same to Brad who didn’t show/say 20 % of his endearing love to her like he said towards Angie going as far as saying that their marriage was a merger.

    And finally why, when being totally objective, leaning on facts, their own sayings at that time when talking about one another (most of the time not flattering nor loving words towards each other) and all the rumors of a marriage that turn out a long way to depression for both of them,

    WHY IS STILL A PART OF THE PUBLIC HOLDING THIS FANTASY THAT THESE TWO WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER AND WILL GET BACK TO EACH OTHER AND STILL HOLDING ANGER, BITTERNESS TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE BREAK UP ?

    Isn’t it that the public practices till this day that empathy to an insane level, thinking that they were personally involved in that marriage, a marriage which was perceived as a fairytale by people outside of it and not by the real actors in it ? When you hear people who 5 years later are saying how Jennifer Aniston is devastated by it and that she should be, they talk anbout their own devastation and feelings in a marraige their perceive as their own. Aniston is probably more devastated today by her last breakup to Mayer…like any normal human being is devastated by the most fresher break up.

    If the so called Golden couple were no celebs, anyone, averagely intelligent would have said that these two were not meant for each other and should have divorce a long time ago.

    So people should stop thinking they know better than the perons involved and stop transferring their own feelings to them. No adults this age divorce when the marriage is solid, when they see they are in the same route, the same page and have a future together. No adults this age divorce if he/she is happy with the situation in that marriage. Brad and Jennifer have moved on, since both of them date someone else after it.

    People should stop acting like they know what is best for them and open their eyes to see the truth. Both of them seem to enjoy their life better than when they were together. Both of them have taken complete opposite direction in their personal life. This is an undeniable evidence of different routes, this is a dead give away for any couple when one wants a total different path.

    So instead of whining, regurgating the death of a marriage that should have never taken place in the first place. poeple from every sides, especially their fans should do their job which is support their life, their choice instead of insulting the other side, putting them back in a place when it’s clear as water, they were both miserable.

  51. Ursula says:

    nnnn- wow, some people should get a life. These are celebrities and strangers to you.

    Many celebs date celebs and Aniston should not be crucified for doing what Pitt, Spears, Timberlake, Kate Hudson, Sienna Miller and tons of other celebs do.

    Lets not forget that many of these are even just rumours. Butler, Cooper etc. And they are not even stars as such. Lets say she would still be on every magazine cover if she did not date them. Infact I could say the opposite.

    Her men are all beards. She’s a lesbo.

    nnn: You really have some intense feelings about this, don’t you? LOL.

  54. karie says:

    Ursula, YOU telling someone to get a life is like an overweight person telling someone to lose weight. You are the person who runs to every Brad-Angelina thread to trash them. You don’t know them either, do you? Why don’t you take your own advice, you hypocrite.

    You mean they only JUST came to that conclusion?

    I believe this story because it’s a pattern with her and I’ve long thought the same. She’s always going after a very high profile, flavor of the month preferably, guy.. I think that she is deeply insecure about her looks and talent and feels that she got to the level of fame through her marriage to Brad Pitt. She’s trying to replicate this by hooking up with another big star in the making. Obviously, it results in a disaster since she’s a) too desparate and transparent with her attempts and b) guys like that are usually a-holes. But she can’t help herself. I stopped feeling sorry for her after John Mayer.. ANYONE could see that he’s a douche and she’s desperately trying to appear hot and desireable by hooking up with a hot young musician.
    btw, I like Brad much more after the split, he seems interesting now. Before he was just another pretty boy with nothing to say.
    as far as Angelina, I think she played him beautifully… dangled the carrot of sex, waited for him to lose his head for her and end the relationship with Jennifer so she’ll finally be with him. I totally believe she didn’t sleep with him before that. Not because she’s highly moral but because she’s not stupid. And knows men very well. I mean.. she gave him some but not the whole store before he was fully committed. That, my friends, is how it’s done.

    P.S. Jennifer slept with Brad on the first date, by her own admission. And that date was set up by her agent..after Brad dumped GOOP over her cheating. So to him it was a rebound. Let’s just get over the fairy tale once and for all.

    Right, because Vince Vaughn and Paul Sculfor are so extraordinarily popular? The only reason Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger’s relationship made the featured story on a mag cover is because of JA’s relation to it. Gerard Butler’s relationships aren’t exactly the talk of the town unless it’s someone important he’s dating.

    I think the ones benefitting from Jennifer’s relationships are the ones she dates, not the other way around.

    #57/58 comment: I can’t read your name clearly, browser issues for some reason. I completely agree with your #57 comment – my thoughts exactly! However – you are incorrect in #58: They both discussed publicly that jennifer made brad wait 9 months to sleep with him. I remember reading that a few years ago in several places and thinking “so that’s how she got him”

I would Do the same if i were her…

    #59, not from what I heard. She implied in an interview that they got together right away because she “knew” he was the one. In another interview, she talked about being away from Brad for 9 months while he filmed Troy. The interviewer was appalled they spent so much time apart and Aniston became defensive. Seems like this relationship had lots of problems, if you ask me.

  62. cleveland says:

    #57, I agree with your write-up. It makes the most sense to me. But, ultimately, who really knows what these ppl are like behind closed doors?
