Jen Beats Brad!!

It was widely talked about that yesterday, on Christmas Day, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt both had movies coming out. While Jen was starring in a cute dog comedy, Pitt was taking on a more serious role in a dramatic film. The world waited to see who would emerge victorious and I, of course, was desperately hoping that Jen would take it and show Brad that he wasn’t all that after all. Jen herself, of course, was much more tactful and graceful about it on Oprah when she said, “Can’t it be a tie?” Well, she almost got her wish with the preliminary figures showing that Jen beat Brad by a mere $2.8 million. But still, in the end, Jen won, as always. From Gossip Girls,

“Coming out on top in the battle of Christmas Day movie releases, Jennifer Aniston’s dog-based drama “Marley & Me” beat out Brad Pitt’s age-defying film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at the box office on Thursday (December 25).

With the preliminary numbers just in, Miss Aniston’s film was the top grossing release of the day with $14.6 million in ticket sales, while her ex-hubby’s fantasy flick came in second at $11.8 million.”

It’s not surprising that Aniston’s film did so much better than Brad’s and I don’t think it has a lot to do with their personal lives (except for in my case, in which it’s always about their personal lives.) I just think that on Christmas Day, people would much rather go and see a feel-good movie rather than an intense drama that features a weird midget old man that turns young. Whatever the reason, Jen won and Brad lost, so there.

Pitt Puts Himself Back in the News

It seems as though whenever people stop talking about Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie for a minute or two, they seem to come up with all these stories that put them back into the headlines. So when there’s an onslaught of stupid non-news surrounding this now-boring-but-still-cheating couple, you can bet it’s because they have reprimanded their reps for letting the murmur die down. The first story comes from US and please take note of the stupid thing that Jolie’s reps said and then take note of the stupid thing Brad said. From US,

“Star magazine reports the couple signed the big bucks agreement before a planned walk down the aisle to detail what will happen to their property, finances and children if they split. The magazine also continues to report that Jolie is pregnant.
But a rep for Jolie tells MomLogic.com: “There is no truth to any of these claims.”

Pitt once swore off marriage until it was legalized for everyone, but admitted earlier this month he’d wed Jolie “if we feel it’s important to our kids.”

Now, I don’t know. It seems to me as though if you’re a celebrity and want to deny rumors, that’s understandable but you can’t spend all your time blasting apart every story. This one’s just stupid and meaningless so who cares? What’s more - I hadn’t even heard the original story when I read the denial and I still have yet to come across the false claim. But these people need to knock it down just to make headlines once again. And when Brad Pitt made the grand proclamation that he would not marry until it was legal for everyone, it was in 2006. He and Jennifer Aniston were divorced in 2005. Which means they were married. Which means that Brad had already been married when he said that. Hmm….

Another story that I hadn’t heard before the Jolie-Pitts were tearing apart those vicious lies, was that an ambulance actually did not visit their home. This story doesn’t even tell us anything! Just, ‘Yep, no, that didn’t happen…thanks though, we’re all doing fine.’ Please! This reeks of publicity stunt. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Rumours of an ambulance going to Brad Pitt’s house have been greatly exaggerated. Despite many reports, TMZ is reporting that an ambulance did not pick up someone from Brad Pitt’s L.A. residence the call was made from a neighbor’s house. Brad’s rep has confirmed everyone in his house is okay!”

Yep, see, that’s all. No, there’s no talk of why a neighbor would mistake another vehicle for an ambulance or what exactly is the ‘exaggeration?’ Did they come and just not take anyone away? Was it all in Angie’s head? Did she take it a little too far with those knives? Please. This is one of the stupidest stories I’ve ever heard. 

Oh, wait. I forgot about this one. The one where Brad talks about how he’s just too damn famous for his own good. No, I’m not kidding. That’s exactly what he says, although it may be in different words. From Contact Music,

“The actor faced the daunting task of playing a man ageing backwards in new film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
And although he’s thankful for the opportunities his fame provides, Pitt insists being a mega movie star can overshadow the intense preparation required for actors taking on difficult parts.
He says, “I think celebrity gets in the way. If you’re not fully valued it’s easy to surprise. It’s really nice. It sets you up to surprise people. There are pluses and minuses. It’s a card game really. Celebrity can cloud what you’re doing.
“If I know the degree of difficulty I’m taking on, or someone else is taking on in their respected role, and that’s not always seen usually, it can be avalanched by celebrity itself. But believe me man, I’m enjoying it. I feel quite fortunate.”

There’s nothing that I hate more than celebrities that whine in any way, shape or form about how life turned out for them. And then to throw in so tritely that he feels so fortunate. Give me a break. Why don’t you surprise people by being a good person, Brad? One who doesn’t have to buy their ‘good’ name or raise a football team to try and ease their guilt? Yep, I betcha that one would really knock em off their seats.

The Jolie-Pitts Just Won’t Shut Up!

Honestly, people talk about Jennifer Aniston and how much they wish that she would just shut her trap but I can see why it would be so hard for her when her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and his snaky partner, Angelina Jolie just won’t shut up about how they fell in love - and more specifically, when. Brad recently gave an interview with Rolling Stone in which he himself referenced the fact that he and Jolie fell in love while they were making Mr. & Mrs. Smith. One more time, he was married to Aniston at the time!! I’m so sorry but if you fall in love with someone else other than your wife and that ultimately breaks up your marriage, you don’t get the right to shout about when you met from the rooftops! There’s a certain little thing called being tactful and constantly rubbing it in people’s faces (such as Aniston’s) is definitely not a classy move to make. Especially when he was so upset that Jennifer took her own shots at Angelina in a Vogue interview, shortly after Angie was talking about when and how she and Bradie-poo fell in love. But Brad’s stupidity doesn’t end there. He also talks about he and Angie don’t fight. That’s right. They’re married (or close enough to it), they have six kids, and they don’t fight. I’m sorry, either you’re lying or you’re in an incredibly unhealthy relationship. From your past history, Brad, I’m guessing that your pants are on fire. From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Making the film made Brad think about his own mortality. “Angie and I do not fight anymore,” he tells Rolling Stone. “What occurred to me on this film, and also with the passing of her mother (actress Marcheline Bertrand in 2007), is that there’s going to come a time when I’m not going to get to be with this person anymore. I’m not going to get to be with my children anymore. … And so, if we have a flare-up, it evaporates now.”
It comes as no surprise, then, that his favorite Jolie film is 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which he co-starred. Why? “Because you know … six kids. Because I fell in love.”

Do I also need to mention that Brad closely resembles a Russian dictator on this cover?

Another Aniston Interview

In all of her promotioin for both He’s Just Not That Into You and Marley & Me, Jennifer Aniston has been doing a whirlwind of interviews and has certainly gotten people talking. In the December 12th issue of Entertainment Weekly she touches on the pregnancy rumors although, ‘touching’ may be a bit mild of a term to use. She actually harshly, aggressively, and lewdly talks about the rumors and why they make her so angry. From Pop Crunch,

“Jennifer Aniston is pulling out the potty mouth to get tabloid snitches to quit starting pregnancy rumors about her.

“It’s almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, ‘I’m pregnant!’” the Marley & Me star told Entertainment Weekly in the magazine’s December 12 issue. “Everyone will be like, ‘Yeah, right.’ It’s the boy who cried wolf. Stop stealing my thunder, motherfuckers!”

Aniston has been back for a long time and by ‘back’ I mean has gotten out of the dark place she seemed to be in after her marriage fell apart. But with all this new promotion she seems to be taking it to a new level. We have seen her being confident, not giving a damn what people say about her or think about her, and really speaking her mind about what bugs her and what she loves. Aniston is one of those fabulous women that can be both one of the classiest women in all of Hollywood and yet, remain so real that sometimes, she gets mad and a swear falls out of her mouth. And do we even need to talk about how she looks? To. Die. For.

Jen and John are Chuggin Along

Lord knows that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer have dealt with a lot of crap from the media during their on-again/off-again relationship but it seems that the bright lights and constant microphones in the face aren’t enough to deter this couple from really trying to make it work and set aside all the other crap to just really be together and in love. Yep, that’s right. I think this may be an ‘It’ for Jen. John I still have my doubts about but he did recently invite his girlfriend to come home and meet his parents while spending the Thanksgiving holiday with them. Well blogs were ablaze when John met Courtney Cox, Jen’s BFF so imagine what these stories will do! I can just imagine John and his entire family dodging flashbulbs around the turkey. This is what Fametastic had to say about the rumored get-away and what it means for the couple,

“Jennifer Aniston is reportedly spending Thanksgiving with boyfriend John Mayer’s family in Boston, suggesting their relationship is very much back on track.

The couple dated for around six months from February to August this year before splitting after John realised it wasn’t working and he didn’t want to “waste somebody’s time if something’s not right“. However, they reconciled in October, with John determined to make a go of things this time.

A source close to the couple claims Jennifer has already introduced the singer to her dad John and previously estranged mum Nancy, and now John is returning the gesture: “He knows his mom worries about things, particularly the stuff she reads about it being a sham relationship.

“He wants to take Jen home to show his mom how much they’re in love.”

Jen has also recently been reported to introduce John to both of her parents, which the same inside source said in the interview, Jen had been hesitant to do in the past because she had gotten so close to Brad’s family. I imagine something like a divorce would haunt you for your entire life and comparisons would always be there. It’s nice to see though that Jen realizes that not everything is always the same and sometimes you have to give a little to get a lot in return. I think there’s no doubt she’s still a tiny bit screwed up about her former marriage and even if I didnt’ like John at the beginning of this relationship, if he gets Jen out of her funk, he’s okay by me.

They Make it Too Easy!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are such idiots, it’s almost as though they want the entire world to hate them. Apparently, the child-collecting couple are upset about the interview that Jennifer Aniston recently did with Vogue. I posted on the interview when it first came out and although the interview was filled with much more than just simply the statement that’s getting all the attention, there’s no doubt that this love triangle is once again in the spotlight. After almost four years since the divorce (aka Jolie stealing a married man), after which Jen has had nothing but class and grace and has kept mostly silent about the issue, she made a one-sentence remark in the Vogue interview in which she called Jolie’s comments ‘uncool.’ Brad and Angelina alternatively, thought that that statement was uncool. From Celebitchy,

“Though the former ”Friends” superstar has universally — and justifiably — been seen as a victim of Angelina Jolie stealing her man, a source close to the Brangelina camp says Aniston’s ex-husband called her to complain about the Vogue piece.

I know, that call seems unbelievable — given Aniston went out of her way to praise Pitt, saying she and the actor are on good terms now and that she has ”nothing but absolute admiration for him.”

One would have to assume Pitt’s irritation was due to Aniston’s comment that it was ”uncool” Jolie came clean about falling in love with her married co-star in ”Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

But still, it was Pitt who cheated on Aniston — leading to a horribly public split that was clearly humiliating for the popular actress.

Another source, close to Jolie, said Wednesday that Pitt and Jolie were ”totally thrown” by Aniston’s Vogue interview, thinking she had already ”moved on … and wouldn’t want to reopen this old wound.”

At any rate, Aniston’s spokesman is not commenting on the alleged Pitt call to Aniston, simply e-mailing, ”That’s personal information. … That really is no one’s business.”

While I am almost tempted to throw this in the trash bin due to the ’source’ which remains anonymous, the fact that Jen’s reps aren’t commenting on it or more specifically, aren’t denying it, makes me think that this is one that really might be true. And if it is, well then of all the nerve! Angelina was definitely the one that reopened wounds here by calling attention to the fact years after it has happened, that she and Brad fell in love while he was still married. It was actually that statement that Jen was referring to and not the fact that she actually stole her husband but I guess Angelina’s too stupid to realize that. In addition to calling Jen to whine, I wonder if Brad also talked to his current wifey about keeping her mouth shut about their lurid affair.

Jen Does Vogue and Opens Up

Even though she has alluded to it when doing shows such as Oprah, Jennifer Aniston has never really come out and publicly, directly spoken about her divorce from Brad Pitt. She sort of went into hiding for a little while afterwards and then when she did come out, she had a handful of movies and all the buzz was about her career. I guess now she wants to show people that she’s not going to roll over and die and Vogue recently had the chance to sit down with her and get to all the things that people want to know the most about. Jen touched on all the highlights including John Mayer, Brad Pitt, and even Angelina Jolie. From People,

“When they (Mayer and Aniston) met at an Oscar party last February, Aniston says she “barely knew his music.” But the two began dating – Aniston flew to England where the rocker was touring – and their relationship developed before the cameras.

Did she know it was going to work out at the time?

“You know, it isn’t designed,” Aniston says. “Love just shows up and you go, ‘Oh, wow, this is going to be a hayride and a half.’ ”

Adds Aniston: “It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize [that] we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is.”

Equally candid about her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, Aniston says she has spoken to him since their divorce, and calls their split “amicable.”

“The marriage didn’t work out,” she tells the magazine. “Pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we’ve been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other.”

However, what I love most about this interview was the part where she says,

“What Angelina did was very uncool.”

I was most happy that Jen said this because Angelina has seemed especially smug in the media lately when she was talking about how she and Brad fell in love on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, while Brad was still married. I am also glad that Jen has come out and said something once and for all. I think people mistook Jen keeping a low profile for being weak and saw her in a somewhat meeker light. However, I think she was doing exactly what any woman would do in the situation - taking time for herself to reevaluate her life and how she is to move forward. Jen has always shown a great amount of class and it’s nice to finally see her showing her strong and outspoken side again. And, she looks totally hot on this cover to boot!

I May just Like her After All

I keep going back and forth on whether or not I like Pink. She does seem really cool and like she doesn’t really seem to care about much but then she just does or says something that I think is completely unecessary, idiotic, or just sooo completely over the line that it makes me rethink my opinion of her. But now that she thinks that John Mayer is an idiot, she definitely has gone up in my eyes. Apparently, Pink doesn’t agree with Mayer’s womanizing ways - I know, who does, right? But she actually got the opportunity recently to tell her that himself, and she certainly made her point clear. From Pop Crunch,

“There’s at least one woman in Hollywood who isn’t itching to jump aboard John Mayer’s CelebrityHo-Train.

Outspoken singer Pink has branded the notorious lothario her “The Celebrity She Most Hates” after Mayer made objectifying remarks about the numerous women he has dated at a party in the Hollywood Hills earlier this month.

“I got into an argument with him,”Pink confesses.

“I don’t believe him as much as he believes him. He said something along the lines of, ‘I only shag really stupid women.”

“And I said, ‘I guess they would have to be.’ I don’t get him at all.”

Yeah, I don’t get him either. I don’t even understand why he would say something like this and it’s these kind of things that really make me wonder what Jennifer Aniston sees in him. I mean really, is the chemistry really that hot?

Jennifer Aniston is Not Pregnant

Just as I suspected, John Mayer’s reps have recently come out with a statement saying that Aniston is not pregnant with his baby. Apparently what spurred the initial rumor brought by an Australian tabloid was the fact that Jen apparently looked pregnant. I always wonder what celebrities think when they hear that and really aren’t pregnant. And then she was seen coming out of her mom’s house and that seemed to seal the deal. But this is nothing new to Aniston, who has always had to dispel these types of rumors. From US,

“A source close to John Mayer confirms – again – that he’s not expecting a child with Jennifer Aniston.

In Touch claims on its cover that Aniston, 39, “looks pregnant” and speculates that’s the reason she reconciled with Mayer, 31.

“It’s not true,” a source close to Mayer told Usmagazine.com.

Just last week, Australia’s New Weekly suggested the actress and Mayer were expecting a child.

But Aniston’s rep told Entertainment Tonight then: “Give me a break. She is NOT pregnant.”

Well I suspect that the world is now breathing a sigh of relief that John has not procreated. These two do seem to be very happy ever since their recent reunion, although they are still trying to keep a low-pro and haven’t really been spotted all that much. I doubt that they’ll get much of a break from the media, these two are just too interesting, even if I don’t like him all that much!

Is this Jen Pregnant Too?

Was this picture of Jennifer Aniston leaving her mother’s house taken just moments after Jen told her mom the good news - she’s pregnant! According to an Australia tabloid ‘early’ this week (meaning yesterday, since today’s only Tuesday!), Jennifer Aniston is indeed pregnant! And of course, according to said tabloid, it’s with John Mayer’s baby. Now I can’t seem to be able to track down the name of the Aussie newspaper that said this but this is what The Times Blog had to say about it,

“The very lovely Jennifer Aniston is pregnant. So, this explains why she and John Mayer have been seen out and about loving each other again.

This is great news. She was heart-broken when Brad Pritt left her to father babies with Angelina Jolie.

Aniston and Mayer decided to give their relationship another chance after discovering she was expecting her first child.
A source said: “Jennifer is over the moon. She doesn’t want to be a single mom, so she is willing to give John the chance to prove his parent potential.” He has promised to cut back on his drinking habits.”

I am filing this in the round filing cabinet, meaning my garbage can. While I would love for Jen to get pregnant, I don’t want it to be with John Mayer’s child. He is such a child himself and such a player, clearly not ready for fatherhood just yet. Add to that the fact that Jen can do so much better and the whole thing is just wrong. But I am not discrediting this rumor simply on my own personal feelings about it. I just don’t think it’s true. First of all, John and Jen broke up in the beginning of August, which would make her at least 2 1/2 months pregnant if you know, they conceived on the day they broke up, which most couples do not. And besides that, you think she would have figured it out before now that something is going screwy with her woman parts.

I know that they are back together and have been seeing trying to keep it on the down-low but I think that’s just merely a couple who’s recently gotten back together and are trying to figure things out themselves before they go very, very public with it again. Not because they’re trying to hide a ’secret pregnancy.’ And as for the compromising on both sides, I don’t doubt that either. You sort of have to when you’re trying to make something work. As for the picture? Maybe Jen was going to gush about her new reunion with John. Maybe she was just helping her mom hang some shelves. Maybe, just maybe, it was just a simple case of a daughter visiting her mother.
