Jennifer Aniston is having a hard time adjusting to seeing her famous ex husband and his girlfriend splashed everywhere in the media, and her friends are speaking out to Us Weekly and Vanity Fair.
With Angelina Jolie recently on a massive press junket for her film "The Good Shepherd," and magazines printing family photos of her all of children with Brad Pitt, including their humanitarian and Costa Rican resort combo getaway, Jennifer Aniston is having to endure her ex’s joy with his new family and love.
Us Weekly has put Jenn on the cover, alleging her emotional pain is a very real issue for the ex Friends star still. Aniston's friend Kristin Hahn confided in a past Vanity Fair interview in September 2005, “My worst fear is that Jen will have to face them having a baby together, because that would be beyond beyond painful.”
In the same interview, Aniston confessed to wanting her own babies. “Ideally, I’d like to have a couple,” Aniston then broke down and looked “stabbed in the heart” talking to Vanity Fair about a then rumor of Jolie’s pregnancy.
The baby whispers were true and Brad became a daddy. "The Shiloh pictures kill Jen,” says one unnamed Aniston source to Us Weekly, which also feature the couple's other children, with more adoptees rumored on the way this year.
Us Weekly reports that another unnamed Aniston source, alleging Aniston was given a warning about more photos of the happy family Pitt-Jolie., had less kind things to say. “She (Jennifer) is so torn-up about the fact that Brad was able to move on and has a perfect family life with that witch.”

Jen is a class act. She will come around. She did well to dump VV and divorce
BP.Both jerks. Better wait for a real man top show up, generous enough to let
Jen be & bloom at her pace, have children and be a GREAT mom.HNY Jen !
If Brad had been truly happy, then this gap in his marriage would not have occurred. If you look at Jennifer and Brad and how very different they are in values, then you can figure the marriage was doomed from the start. Brad is quite adventurous and loves to travel; Jen is afraid to fly and doesn't like things like camping, riding motorcycles or traveling. Brad is committed to charity work; Jennifer is not. Brad in one of the first interviews the couple gave said he wanted a half dozen children; Jen rolled her eyes and said maybe one or two. Brad is passionate about architecture; Jen would make snide little comments about how the living room furniture was too uncomfortable to sit on. Brad is a family person; Jen has made no secret of her drive and ambition to be a movie star. When Brad wanted kids; Jen signed on to do movies--six of them if my memory serves me right and signed on for an extra year of friends. Jen is entitled to her choices and I have taken Brad's side here. I don't hate, begrudge or dislike Jen for the choices she has made; my point is the values of the two of them were different. Rumor has it that the marriage was in trouble in year 2. That was before Jolie entered the picture. There is nothing wrong with them having diverse goals, values and needs; but they were unable to connect in the marriage and become a unit. Why root for Brad or Jen to be unhappy and be unfulfilled. You can see in pictures how happy Brad is and how much he genuinely loves the children. Will Jolie and Pitt last? I don't know. This is Hollywood where nothing seems to last. However, I do believe if they split, both of them will continue to parent the children in healthy, mature and productive ways. And that in the end is what is important.
nice taking Brad's side, but it makes you think....who cares if he cares about architecture or charity work, when he does not care about the pain he has caused to the person that was closest to him?
fair enough if he wanted out of the marriage - these things happen all the time - but, he should have come clean about it from the beginning - and allow time for the injured person to recover, before he embarks on a new life for himself; thats what a real gentleman/ a real good person would do.
would you trust Brad? i dont think so, no matter how good looking he is.
..we are used to accepting people bashing other people about - but unless we take a stand and say what is right and wrong, the wrong messages get passed on from generation to generation, and the society as a whole gets filled with hurt people, because the unccaptables get passed-on as acceptables.
unfortunatley, Brad's behaviour does not say much about his credibility as a nice person - sad but true; shame about the good looks.
I think it is time that Jennifer move on with her life as nothing will ever be gained in living in the past. Her relationship with Brad Pitt is over and has been for over a year now and nothing anybody can do or say will change that fact. I believe two people have to want to be in the relationship or it will never work . Brad has moved on and it is time that Jennifer faces the fact and realizes it's beyond the point of no return. The colapse of a marriage is never easy but living in the past will never help you to live in the future either. I belive that if the marriage was solid and they both wanted the same things then it would have worked but it appears they both wanted different things . The death of a marriage hurts and it's never easy but staying in a realtionship that is not good will hurt even more and it's better to be alone then be with somebody that is not good for you.
jennifer should realize that it is a little to late for what would could have been should been and now is not .In one of the very first interviews of them together Brad expressed his desire for lots of kids and made no secret of his desire to be a daddy and she rolled her eyes and said maybe one or two and then sighned on for another year of friends and then 6 movies after that and when asked about kids in the future she would be vague on the issue . My point is this she had all the chances in the world with the man she loved but her career came first being right or wrong who knows. Brad wanted a family and she was not ready for whatever reasons she had .The values and common goals for couple obvisouly changed and now she realizes she wanted the same things just a little to late.
Jennife, stop thinking there were something that you should have done before to save your marrige. Brad does not worth even one single of your attention any more. There are many wivies in this world who can not even give birth but their husband stand by their sides as always. No matter what breaks up the marriage, he wants out, he forgets the vows he took, and he forgets you were his wife. There is nothing to cry about. Be strong. Only yourself can make your life complete and I do believe your action decides your fate. What goes around comes around. This world is fair, and it is just that sometimes it takes a little bit time. I have my share of heartbreaks but I know everything will be all right. Whether others are truely happy or not is something only others know, but that should not affect whether you are happy or not. It is not hard to do if you want to do that.
To me life is too short to spend it with someone who does not want the same things out of life. I am not a Brad Pitt fan, but do recall that Jennifer Aniston said publicly on some interview that she was not sure Brad was the love of his life. I remember it because it created controversy. She had just won an award and when asked about Brad beign the love of his life, she said she was not sure('a love' yes). Also, true that the guy wanted kids, he has said that more than once and she had made it clear she didn't. We just do not know what happened behind closed doors. It seems to me that Jennifer is manupulating the public and people are being foolish enough to fall for it. She is probably enjoying her capacity to manipulate the public sympathy this way. She is probably doing for attention for her career as well. Jennifer comes across as rather pathetic and manipulative. A bad example for women everywhere. Who knows if Brad is trusthworthy, but he stuck in there for years even when Jennifer publicly said she wanted different things in life and that he wasn't the love of his life. If your partner is telling you kids are life goal. you really can't expect that person to hang it there for too long if you won't want kids. It is really unfair to call him names and judge him so harshly when he stuck with Jennifer for years.
The difference in values is also very obvious. Jennifer is always impeccably made up and her priorities seem centered on her, her feelings or how this or that was done to her. It is all about her. Very drastic contrast from Brad and Jolie who are focused on family and the world beyond their wealthy lives. Frankly, with everything that is going on in the world, who Cares about rich, beautiful and perfectly kept and made up Jennifer Anniston. I don't think she realizes how pathetic she comes accross with her victim act.
Whatever Brad and Jolie are enjoying, I wish them loads of that goodness and love and happiness. More people should be able to find that person that really clicks with you, your worldview and values and is willing to go anywhere and do what it takes to make each other happy. Blessed them.
Amen. I think Jennifer needs to move on and quit boo hooing about the past. It was clear years ago she did not committ strongly to Brad. I remember, also, the comment that she didn't know if he was the love of her life and also that she disagreed with him not only when to have children, but how many. She wanted her career first. Well, she got her wish. I also wish Brad and Angelina find happiness and I think they are terrific together.
cannot think of more selfish and self-centred people than Brad and Angelina actually, despite the perfect act they put together - (and lets not forget they are extremely good actors!..)
In all honesty, would any one of us be happy if our husband/wive did to us what Brad and Angie did to Jen?? somehow, i dont think so..unless we did not care in teh first place...
i agree with you guys that its no good staying in a relationship, when you are not happy - but at least be honest with your partner from the start - make a clean break first and then embark on a new life - at least show some respect for the person who still loves you.
its not the fact that Brad left Jen that is so aweful, its the way he betrayed her that does not give him any points - and lets not forget Angies participation in this - of all the handsome men around her, she had to go for the married one! now, dont tell me that is NOT selfish!
I agree - Jen should get on with her life and leave behind the ones who caused her pain - its about time - there is nothing Brad and Angie do that is envious - so, lets not make Brad and Angie the saints of the world, just because they go around showing off their 'charity' work...if they were truly saints, they would be doing that in secret anyway....
You people need to get a life and stop acting like you know them personally. They are complete strangers to all of us and for anyone to act like they know them well enough to determine why their marriage failed makes you look really pathetic and just plain dumb. How do you know what went on behind closed doors? All you hear is tidbits spewed by the media who know full well that people like you are going to eat their BS and draw conclusions based on nothing less than prejudice. Get a life. All of you.
Gee, ON14L, seems like you are reading all this stuff and making comments based on your opinion also. So, who needs to get a life.
It'd be nice if everyone could just fall off of JA & give her some space to get some perspective & move on, wouldn't it?
She's certainly had enough humiliation to deal with publicly. AJ's ridiculous rationalizing in her Vogue interview about her relationship with BP made me ill (shame on you, supreme spinmeister Pat Kingsley, couldn't you have done better than that?!) Maybe it was the part about being 'very, very, very good friends' with a *married man* & not having the moral compass to back off & stop pursuing & calling their home? Oh, no bother, just survey Laura Dern or Melanie Griffith or most Hollywood actresses how much they trust Jolie working w/their men. Never could see the brouhaha over BP, he's such a morphing pretty boy, def. not worth the fuss, or IMHO, shelling out 10 clams for another movie ticket for him.
My wish is that JA just find contentment in 2007 -- with or without a man.
We can't tell from this article whether Jen really hasn't moved on. Most of the stuff/quotes in it are old news or from a 'source' which could be just made up. None of them came directly from Jen.
Says Who?? Jennifer is used to 2 years of Brangelina splashed EVERYWHERE.
Her people stay in touch with Brangelina's people as so not to have any uncomplicated run-ins or awkward simultaneous appearances. Jennifer & Courtney Cox's L.A. appearance at Cox's premiere for her new show 'DIRT' was one day before Angelina & Brad popped up in N.Y. promoting her movie 'The Good Shepherd' & opened up about their relationship. Jen was well informed about Brangelina & family & Angie's Vogue interview! Why are people so quick to believe Jennifer is so traumatized? Give the girl some credit...she's fine. She looks great & healthy.
True...the pictures of the kids have gotta hurt, especially of pretty Shiloh!
But her marriage hit the skids well before Angie appeared on the scene. Brad was tired of Malibu life & wanted to go do his Charity Gulliver Travels all over the world & have kids. So now he has what he always wanted!!
*LOL!!It is always so bewildering to me when someone tells other Bloggers to 'Get A Life' when these HYPOCRITES are strolling all over the internet reading people's messages! Why don't you take your own advice & go find something more important to do within your own lives & stop reading Blogs & posting replies?
Your contradicting yourself! YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL HYPOCRITE. That's to you ON14L!!!!! Incase you're confused. WebBlogs are part of our 'Freedom of Speech'. No one has the right to tell ANYONE ON HERE WHO & WHAT THEY CAN BLOG ABOUT. Where do you get off? Or rather, if you don't like what you're reading DO US A FAVOR & get off the computer yourself ON14L!
Wow, you all seem to know exactly what Jen, Brad and Angelina was thinking/wanting.
Fact is, none of you know.
Fact is, a marriage is over.
Fact is, people need to respect that and let those heal.
Why you people care? I think that what Jolie did was wrong, you never lay your eyes in a married man, n-e-v-e-r and Pit is a pig he should have waited insted of having a relationship with his lover rigth away, what happen with all the denial of something between them? And Anniston needs to grab the bull by the horns and start dating Matthew Mcconaughey he is much cuter than Pit and seems to be more the type for Anniston. Another thing about Jolie-Pit, why they don't help children in the United States? There is people here that need help also... maybe there is more publicity if you help Namibia or any orther country but U.S.
And Jolie stop using Anniston for publicity, it is getting old you are a homewrecker that is it stop talking about her, because her name is too big for your mouth believe it or not =)
I also wonder if Angelina is actually very selfish and bitchy- she probably has NO GIRL Friends because she is the type that has to try to seduce every man in the room- as many women COULD actually if they chose too- but she is cold enough to do this to other womens men. and she dOENST HAVE any girlfriends because no girl could trust her- because she ahs this need for men to lust her.
Umm Dukie....my accurate guess is Angelina wouldn't have to TRY to seduce any lady's boyfriends or husbands in a room. The guys would automatically be drawn to her exotic beauty!! Brad & Billy Bob Thorton and Colin Farrell are three examples who fell hard for her! Girls would be intimidated by Jolie because they know their men would be drawn to her in an INSTANT> No work on Angelina's part needed.
FIRST OF ALL, I THINK WE ARE ALL CRAZY, MYSELF INCLUDED, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS. I'M SURE THERE ARE ALOT OF PRODUCTIVE THINGS WE COULD ALL BE DOING. WITH THAT SAID...
I CERTAINLY DO NOT WISH ANY PAIN OR HURT TO JENNIFER ANISTON, HOWEVER, BRAD PITT DID NOT MINCE WORDS WHEN HE STATED HE WANTED A FAMILY AND CHILDREN. I DON'T THINK ANYONE SHOULD GIVE BRAD A HARD TIME FOR BEING HONEST AND THEN FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH IT.
AS FOR ANGELINA, SHE WASN'T MARRIED TO JENNIFER ANISTON!!!! BRAD HAD THE COMMITMENT, NOT HER!! NO ONE CAN 'BREAK UP' A MARRIAGE IF BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE TOTALLY HAPPY AND COMMITTED TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP. THERE IS NOT ONE SINGLE WOMEN ON THIS EARTH, NO AMOUNT OF MONEY, ETC. THAT COULD MAKE MY HUSBAND LEAVE ME UNLESS WE HAD UNDERLYING PROBLEMS OF SOME OTHER SORT.
I DON'T THINK ANY SINGLE PERSON IS TO BLAME EITHER. YOU CANNOT BLAME SOMEONE FOR WANTING ONE GOAL OR ANOTHER. BE IT A CAREER PATH OR A MORE FAMILY (KIDS) ORIENTED ONE.
I WISH THEM ALL WELL IN WHATEVER PATH THEY CHOOSE FOR THEIR LIVES.
Jen is not perfect, as none of us are, yet she is an all around good and healthy minded person who has had something terrible happen to her by the selfish and arrogant Brad. I am shocked that most people seem to have forgotten that Angelina is not only selfish and arrogant but has extreme mental problems! Angelina's father even admitted to this. The girl has cut herself with knives, wore blood around her neck, talked about herself having mental problems, kissed her brother to show off, talked about her sleezy behavior with men and women, checked herself into a mental institute because she thought she killed someone, etc.! It was only after Angelina received such bad press about her mental problems that she started showing off with this 'act' of cherity work - obviously to try to save her name under an 'act' of being a good person. I know many sweet people have mental problems that don't damage other's lives, yet Angelina is like a cancer in this world. After Brad comes out of the spell she's put him under through her attracive looks and wild sex, he's going to say, 'I can't beleive I did such an embarrassing thing as being with that insane girl! What was I thinking? She sucked me into her life, took my life away, my identity, used me for her publicity, and controlled my every move.' Angelina obviously had some big thrills using Brad to hurt Jen, such as having family publicity in a magazine of her and Brad when Jen and Brad were barely separated. Angelina is addicted to getting attention. If we all ignored her, would she go away, please? Angelina is an insecure control freak who is just using Brad to feel the power of controlling his life and to try to make people forget that she is a complete dangerous mental case.
Wow! I almost don't know how to word this. Especially when some of you out there get so angry (to the point where it's actually funny)when someone responds to your comment. Yes we all have the freedom of speach, and yes we are all here in this room for a reason. Whether it's curiosity or boredom I honestly don't give a crap! I've read some of you bashing each other over choice of words, like 'get a life' and such. However, I haven't seen a very important question be answered.....How do you all know beyond a shadow of a doubt what actually happened and who is truly at fault?? I want to know. Who are your sources? When was the last time you had tea with poor lil ole Jen and talked about it? Or sat down with Angelina and Brad and let them explain to you? I want to know how anyone on this blog can actually say that they know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This is a joke! I understand posting a coment or an opinion, but flat out saying that you know how it is, who did what to who and who is to blame and name calling. That is what's wrong with this blog. It's a shame to know that instead of posting a comment like 'I really hope everything works out for everyone, and that the media would just leave it alone.' most people are on here just going to town as if they are the media. I've seen speculation after speculation and possibly some facts that lead to more speculation. God gave you a mouth, and the constitution gives you free speach and this is what you are going to use it for? I think that before opening your mouth at least have your facts right, and if you don't know whether or not what you are going to say is fact or assumption then don't even bother. Our free speach is proctected yes; but those who we speak of are also protected by law from these little bitty things called Slander and Libel.
Lynn you have way too much time on your hands! And you don't make any sense!
All I can say is WOW!
You do not personally know Brad, Angelina or Jennifer! Only Brad & Jennifer know what REALLY happened during their marriage. Common sense tells us Brad wasn't happy. Otherwise he wouldn't have broken his marriage vows to Jen in the first place. Angelina has had quite a history. But lots of people have done things they regret. Angie's past is the past! She confessed to the 'wrongs' she did,grew up & moved on. She has a wonderful family,fans and not ONE but TWO professions she is good at & can be proud of. One, as an Acclaimed Actress & the other a UN Goodwill Ambassador. She loves helping people all over the world. I doubt you have done anything for the 'less fortunate' in your community.Since you have no problem talking about the bad crap Angelina used to do. Why don't you go & research all the good Charities she is affiliated with - and once you've educated yourself about stuff, go donate YOUR TIME and MONEY towards helping others!
I don't think cares at all about these two circus freaks. Brangelina are an embarrasement to themselves and Jennifer Aniston moved on LONG AGO.
She said on Oprah for people to move on and turn the page, back in 2005 and here we still have mags, brange fans, and Angelina herself linking everything to Jennifer.
I think it is to create a diversion from the messes Brangelina create. If you critize Brad and Angelina behaviour, like taking over African countries, costing tax payers money,etc. Brange fans say you are just coming to Jennifer's defense.
Brangelina's latest wierd thing is an 'awareness' charity (Global kids or something). Basically what it means it that every time money is put into this charity, brad and ange can take that money and use it to pay for thier hotels, private plans, meals, nanny's, etc- when they travel, because when they are travelling they always stop and wave a few unfortunates infront of camera's so - voila- they did awareness work! It's a tax write off.
Hi,
just to tell that i don t believe that Brad is great, of course it s easy to fall in love for another one, especially if she s a superstar.
But I do believe that what you do to others has repercussion on your future, and how can Jolie trus Pitt in 5 years when he will act with a younger and prettier girl! Will he say, Angelina was my best friend and Miss X is my true love???
It s normal that for Jen it s not funny at all to endure a seperation, with a person who found so so easily to replace her!
let s see what happens in few years!
Enough already, I'm so sick of hearing about Jen and Brad. I wish the TV would stop plastering them everywhere. I have never liked Brad Pitt from the first rumors of how he never took a bath. All of a sudden he's Man of the Year or something like that. I have never been a real Jen Aniston fan but I do feel sorry for her. She should had a little more sense then to marry Brad Pitt. I never liked the guy. I figured their marriage would never last because he's a jerk. People, quit making this guy look like he's some kind of God. He lied to Jennifer. As far as Angelina, I don't know how he trusts being married to a woman who has once slashed her wrists (wouldn't want her around my children) and supposedly she has had affairs with women. I'm sick of hearing about all this adopting kids from other countries. Now there are rumors of Madonna paying off some official just so she could have the adoption of her child. What these people do for attention and money.
Brad Pitt is a man that does not deserves Jennifer Anistons love. Once you betray your family, wife, kids there is nothing you can do to repair it. The trust is gone for good. What Jennifer is going thru is more than just betrayal is what they both shared with each other while they were together. Jennifer must forgive herself first and then she can move on with her life without Brad in it. He doesn't deserve her. Angelina Jolie has no scruples what so ever. She doesn't deserve the respect of anyone.
In an ideal world we would all do things in an ideal way but we are none of us perfect and an ideal world this is not. It seems clear BP and JA were at odds from about year 2 of their marriage. They wanted different things. I recall an interview where JA said the reason for their split was they had grown apart wanting different things. You can't plan who you fall in love with. If Brad were a robot (a young one) then yes he would do things perfectly but it is highly doubtful that even if he had this situation would still exist because people for whatever reason wanted JA and BP to be together. BP had hit 40 and he had wanted children since forever. Tate Donovan said Aniston was too amibitious and that is why the relationship could not go on. For those people who use Karma as some sort of justice...does that mean when bad things happen to you it is Karma? If that is the case then according to all you believers of Karma Aniston is getting a taste of Karma..no? I have a sneaking suspicion that Aniston thought Pitt wouldn't be able to manage without her...unfortunately, for her he did. If Aniston does feel bad about all this then it is a shame but she can't have it both ways. You only get one shot at this and life is way too short.
Just so everyone gets it correct. Jennifer Aniston caused her present situation. Had she really thought of someone other than herself she would have had the family that she so envies now. I remember magazine articles that I had read where Aniston acknowledged that Pitt had desperately wanted children, however it really was not a priority for her. She said 'maybe sometime' in the future. The previous post is correct in stating that Aniston made sure she kept herself booked so she had no obligations to fill in her marriage. I also remember reading that Pitt begged her not to take on more so that they might start a family.
Now everyone looks at poor Jen. Sounds to me like Jen is a self centered selfish peron.

i think people should stop ripping Jennifer and let her be. This negative publicity will defly not help her move on in life.
