Jennifer Aniston Gives More Vague Divorce Musings
 

aniston02

You know, it's hard to figure out where exactly to pin the recent 'Aniston/Jolie fight resurgence' blame. Now that media outlets picked up on a still-simmering feud, you know they will keep asking Jen in every single interview about her take on her divorce from Brad Pitt. On the other hand, the woman needs to learn how to say "Next question, please." The most recent example? Her talk with UK's Elle during a Marley and Me promotional tour.

'I don't owe anybody my side of the story,' she said.
'There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy.
'There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story.'

See if she had just stopped at the first sentence she would have been golden. But we all know there are good guys and bad guys in the story, because that's how gossip works! Even if Aniston was going over to the Jolie/Pitt house everyday and personally breastfeeding each of their adopted spawn, we'd still want to know what these two women really think of each other. The only way to kill off this story is by cutting off its life source, Aniston, which in this case means refusing to answer any divorce-themed questions.

Aniston can't shut up about the divorce. If she stops answering these questions she ceases to be relevant. If she were truly over the divorce then she wouldn't do things like go to the Oscars on Pitt and Jolie's big night simply to spoil their evening. She should have turned down the producers' invitation and refused to play the game anymore. Instead she went and added fuel to the fire - AFTER she'd already given this interview.

Face it - the feud will never be over because Aniston needs it drum up interest in herself, to get publicity and therefore get her silly romcoms funded by indie film makers. Studios will only hire her to play 3rd, 4th and 5th lead. Without her continued connection to Pitt and Jolie she wouldn't even get that. It's not accident that she was recently 57th on a list of actors who producers and studio execs said get their attention when movie projects associated with them are being discussed for funding. 57th out of 1,400 actors sounds good - until you realize that Jolie and Pitt tied for 2nd (along with DiCaprio & Depp)just behind Will Smith at #1.

Obviously Aniston's long-time media maven, Stephen Huvane, sees the value in keeping this non-feud in the news. Jolie hasn't spoken of Aniston in her interviews since she was asked about her by the Vogue interview in January 2007. Is she supposed to not talk about her own life and her love for Pitt simply because it coincided with the end of his marriage to Aniston? No, that's ridiculous. The media reads into statements things a that aren't there and then Jolie is accused of fanning the flames. Even now she can't make a comment about Pitt without Aniston being dragged into it. The media will NEVER let this cash cow die even if Aniston and Jolie never say another word that even minutely references the other.

Gail, that's one of the most intelligent posts I've read in a while (aside from my own, of course). Now she's talking about not talking about the break-up. Makes sense to me (doh). There are some past quotes of hers that could not have been taken out of context, like both the "uncool" and "considering the source" Vogue quotes. Why was she at the Oscars? Heard she had her PR team work OT to get her to presenter spot, not "Oh they asked me and I had to go". It seems to kill her when AJ gets any good press and she needs to counteract it immediately, either with a phoney relationship, bikini shots, etc. She is sad woman and certainly no role model. Also, to be a character actor (which she already is) one needs to be able to act.

Funny how Angie is allowed to brag about falling in love with Brad while he was living with and married to another woman so she can promote The Changeling and he can promote Benjamin Button. And their fans think it's cute. What did Jen do wrong? She didn't want to turn into Brad's baby factory so Brad goes on TV and whines about how his wife is standing in the way of his soccer team dreams. When that doesn't work, he humiliates his wife by flirting with his co-star in front of millions of people. When that doesn't work he dumps his wife and runs off with the woman he claimed not to be involved with. Marriages end, it happens. It's the way Brad conducted himself during the marriage and after the split that's so disgusting. Jen took the high road at first, but Brad and Angelina just couldn't stop rubbing Jen's face in it. And their fans still think it's cute. The only way Brad and Angelina's behavior is acceptable is if people turn Jen into the villain. And the only way the media can keep people interested is to keep asking Jen about it. And if she dares to answer then she's just a bitter woman who can't let it go. I think the media won't let it go and Brad and Angie's fans just can't accept the fact that they share some of the blame in this drama.

Jeff, you are wrong. Brad and Angie have said they said fell in love over time while filming a movie that took over a year to complete. That does not mean they had an affair. All three of them (including Jen) have said they did not act on anything until after the separation. What's wrong with them saying they developed feelings for each other while making that movie? They were still filming after Brad had formally separted from his wife, so what's wrong with anything Brad and Angie have said? Especially considering that Brad was already living in a hotel by mid-2004 and Jen is quoted in a legit interview as saying she knew her marriage was over by Summer 2004. Brad and Jen were already breaking up when he met Angelina. Brad and Jen had a 4 year marriage in which they spent more time apart than together, and they had very little in common. Jen needs to grow up, put on her big-girl panties, and quit acting like the only woman in the history of the Universe to ever get a divorce. Her pity party has gone on long enough.

Oh, and to clarify, Brad and Jen separated in Jan 2005, and Brad and Angie began their romantic relationship in March-April 2005. Nothing wrong with that. Mr. and Mrs. Smith's director, Doug Limon, was fliming reshoots right up until the premiere in June 2005. And yes, Brad's divorce was not final until August 2005, and by then he and Angie were already very much together and Angie got pregnant with Shiloh around that time. It is ludicrious that Brad and Angie get so much flack for being together before his divoce was final. Reese and Jake were together before her divorce from Ryan was final, but nobody had a fit over it. Kate Hudson hooked up with Owen before her divorce was final. Where was the public outcry? And even Jen herself was doing her thing with Vince Vaughn before she was legally divorced, but of course that doesn't count to her fans. Many other couples who actually DID have affairs (Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson), and other actors who actually did break up marriages (Julia Roberts) are given a free pass, but for some reason Brad and Angie are always the ones targeted as poster children for adultery.

Even though, more and more, she's going the see-through shirt route, she just somehow fails to be interesting.

Maybe it's because she's still publicly kvetching about her divorce 4 years ago.

Its a publicity stunt for Anistan who is so desperately trying to establish herself as a bankable movie start that she will say anything to bring attention to her movies. Jolie is established and has nothing to prove to the tabloids. But without this story, Jennifer will go back to the b-list on tv pilots.

What's the deal with teh baby factory comment. Brad and Jen were in fact married and he did want children. There's really no need to get married if you aren't going to have kids. If Jen really didn't want to have kids, she should never have gotten married to him and let him have children with someone else.

JEN should stop stalking Brad and Angelina. If ever she'll be ask about the divorced she should say "NEXT QUESTION PLS" that way she will never be ask about it again. Also Aniston and her fans should realized that when Angelina or Brad talk about their love life it doesn't mean they want to humiliate her or that it's ALL ABOUT HER (aniston). They are talking about it simply because they are in love and IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU JEN.
