There Will Be No Angelina Jolie v. Jennifer Aniston Cage Match

Hollywood press eager for a catfight made no effort to play down the fact that Brad Pitt's former and current gals were going to face off against each other on Oct. 24, when they both had movies opening. But while Angelina Jolie's Changeling is still set to open that weekend, Jennifer Aniston's He's Just Not That Into You has been pushed back — to February 6, 2009. Not only does the change affect the trades and gossip blogs yearning for a box office receipt throwdown, but it also make's this month uncomfortable Marie Claire situation — which had Aniston feuding with co-star Jennifer Connelly so much that she reportedly refused to share a cover with her — a moot point. Boo.

Below, some of the headlines carrying the original news of a Jolie-Aniston tete-a-tete.

    No. 1 AnotherDudAnistonMovie says:

    Aniston and Drew Barrymore in another bad romcom? Oh my, what a shocker! Not. Both of these two need to re-evaluate their screen careers. In Aniston's case, she just needs to give up the ghost and go back to the small screen where her lack of talent isn't quite so obvious.

    This is the second time HJNTIY's release date has been moved back for MONTHS. NOT a good sign. First it was moved from summer to October, supposedly so that it wouldn't go up against the Sex And The City movie. That, of course, was a total lie because SATC came out in May and HJNTIY was scheduled for early August. The early test audiences said the movie stank to high heaven. Plopping an Aniston romcom down in the middle of awards season was a stupid idea to begin with. Moving it to February, movie wasteland, just confirms what I've already heard - total bomb. The only question I really have is…how in the hell did Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly end up in this dud with all of these bad hacktors?

    With a February release date now HJNTIY can go head-to-head with the Tom Cruise clunker "Valkyrie". Maybe they can have a double-feature and call it "Valkyrie's Just Not That Into You Either, Jen!"
