I would have to agree with Jessica and Kristi! And I certainly hope that Brad and Jennifer take the time to read what I have to say...(Who gives a crap about what Angelina thinks....in my opinion she is just a two-bit whore. The only difference between her and a street-walker, is that she has money, and we all know that money is the 'root to all evil' and that 'It is easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle, than it is for him to enter the gates of Heaven'!!) I know you can't believe everything tabloids say, but seeing the interviews make things clearer...Brad had it all over his face that he was a cheating S.O.B. and I have to agree with Jennifer A....He is missing a sensitivity chip...and he has absolutely no class!!! I understand that people grow apart and go their separate ways and sometimes that just happens, but he knows he is a product of the public eye and he should have had a little more tact and used his brain instead of his penis to think about how he could handle this situation! Instead, he chose to publicly humiliate the woman he vowed to be with 'till death do us part'. I guess he must have thought the pastor said, 'Until someone better comes along' Boy was he mistaken...Jennifer, you got it all over her!!!! You have something she will never have....Dignity and Class....and yes, I ment to capitalize that!!!! Stay strong and don't ever look back!!!!

I think everyone needs to back off and shutup. Spreading false rumors isnt making the situation any better! Nobody knows what happens behind closed doors. If brad and jen want to talk they will!

r/e W spreadAug 10th, 2005 - 05:03:51

What Jen said: She does not blame Angelina for the split (like Brad said)
She says the split had to do with multiple reasons (like Brad said)
She says the split had nothing to do with her not wanting to have children (like Brad said)
R/e did Brad cheat: she said she chooses to believe her husband when he said he did not cheat on her while they were married. (like Brad said)

Thus far she echos Brad. Now for the new stuff:
She said Brad tuned her out emotionally Jan 2004! (Critics says that coincides with his working on Mr. and Mrs. Smith. But wait production started Jan 2004. Jolie didn't come on board until Feb 2004--in other words Brad tuned Jen out after 2003. He was quoted as saying the last two years of his marriage were a nightmare: that would be 2003 and 2004.

She said Brad's W spread showed he lacked sensitivity. None of the critics really told you guys what was on the spread. The idea for the spread was Brad's and Brad said he wanted it to be about Mr and Mrs Smith. Well here is what the spread has:

Starts with a picture of Brad (the husband) and Angelina (the wife) at opposite ends of the table praying with 5 Brad look-a-like kids. Later photos show that the wife is obviously bored with being a housewife. She leaves most of the care of the children with the husband. She is seen drinking large glasses of wine (echos what Jen was doing). In one photo when they are in bed it show the husband is more interested in reading a book. In another pic they show the wife passed out on the carpet. He carries her to the bedroom and when she awakens they have a fight and at one point he has two fingers pointing at her eyes like he's liked to gouge her eyes out.

I don't know about you but during that time period the tabloids were running around saying Jen didn't want kids. Having that W spread seem to imply that the wife is Jen is not nice on Brad's part. The spread was made the same day that Jen filed for divorce. When Jen mentioned the W spread during her interview she said 'you can see why were divorced'

Justin Timberlake did the same thing to Britney Spears. Maybe Brad copied it.
When Justin broke with Brit he suffered a big backlash. In reality he wanted to split with her because being with her meant he'd never acheive solo fame.
Fans assumed it was because Timberlake was dating others (which he was). So at some point Timberlake makes a video 'Cry Me a River' with a Britney look-alike who is cheating on him and he gets his revenge by sending her a video of him having sex with someone else. The video implied Britney was the cheat. When pressed about whether the video was about Britney he finally admitted it wasn't. Britney's response was 'I did not cheat on Justin. That probably his way of dealing with the split. Boys will be boys.'

I just wanted to say how I feel about Brad Pitt, and A. Jolie. I think 'both of them' have morals of a jackel! A marriage is supposed to be a sacred thing and anyone who comes between a marriage will pay in this life. God will not allow those two to have a happy and joyful life for long. Alot of us have been attracted or even in love with a married person before, but people with morals do not break their marriages up! Jolie led it on! She could have backed away and been the one to make the right choice, instead she 'went through with it'.
In my book, and we all should have this sense of right and wrong, Jolie could have prevented all of it even if Brad was smitten from the start. People are acting like they only wish them nothing but happiness, even Brad's Grandmother.
I mean, if Brad Pitts Grandmother does think 'this unclean thing' between Brad Pitt and Jolie is so beautiful, that just show this world is worst off than I thought, and even someone older like his Grandmother, has no morals either.
where does God come in with any of these so called Stars? Maybe their souls already belong to the enemy, satan. The only reason Jolie wants to adopt children is to have someone to 'control' at all times. The woman should be married first, and not to some other womans husband!!!

Jen's fairAug 12th, 2005 - 08:37:03

i am disappointed in jen's recent interview because she said only good things about brad. i agree she is not capable of being trashy but she should have told him off because he totally disrespected her and the public he got the money from! but well, it is jen and not angelina. jen is more decent and knows what her limits are - talk about good bringing up! if it were angelina who was giving that interview, she should have betrayed brad not only once, but 100 times and never feel any guilt! talk about being a perfect bitch! and she thinks she is a UN ambassador? what a joke!!!!

Jen is actually the one better off...Aug 12th, 2005 - 20:38:45

In 2003 tabloids said insiders said Jen & Brad's marriage was in trouble then. The main thing being they were constantly taking work (movies and TV) and making it so that they never had any quality time with each other--let alone try to make babies as was planned. After the end of 2003 according to Jen, Brad tuned her out emotionally.

Brad said 'he was leaving the separation and the divorce' up to Jen. When Jen asked for a separation come Jan 2005 as 'a time to step back and re-examine the marriage' I think Brad did have a wake up call and tried to make the marriage work, including restuarant dinners with his wife and a big celebration for her birthday. A tell tale time sign that things weren't going to work out was when Jen planned a celebration for Brad, but come his birthday one of them backed out and Brad ended up spending his birthday alone at home. Also during that period Jan-Mar 2005 Jen and Brad also tried marriage counseling. So I guess we should give Brad some credit, he did try when she gave him that time window: the separation window. In fact Brad thought it was going to work out because when asked by reporters about a divorce Brad said 'there will be no divorce.'

Come the end of March Jen could see the marriage wasn't going to work. It's clear like when she said Brad was insensitive about the W magazine, she called it just one of many examples of why she felt a divorce was appropriate. In some ways the W spread could be seen as Brad making fun of Jen's 'so-called' not fond of having children time. Since the spread was his idea and it was made the same day as when Jen filed for divorce I suspect that was Brad's way of retaliation: the War of the Pitts. Contrary to what you think, it's clear to me they were fighting.

As for Angelina, she did do a movie called 'Beyond Borders'. If you seen it you will see where her inspiration was for being a UN ambassador and adopting children came from. All of this happened long before she got involved with the Pitts. They approached her for the movie. In fact when Brad and Angelina first shot the movie they had no chemistry which would put the film in jeopardy. Angelina is an exceptionaly actress and she takes her craft very seriously. She tried to break the ice with Brad by telling jokes to him and the crews. It helped. But hungry tabloids saw it was an opportunity to label her like they always have and always will. After all she's no different from Julia Roberts when she was single: beautiful, talented, and back East friendly.

I think Angelina even being with Brad is a VERY bad idea. It hurts her image and all that she ever stood for. Quite frankly I hope, if there really is a relationship, that she tells him goodbye. She doesn't need the publicity and she never needed a man. All it ever gave her was a lot of heartache. She is smart to adopt both children as a 'single' mom and make it clear to anyone that these kids will always be 'her' kids. Unlike what happened to Sharon Stone whose husband wants custody of her kids just to be spiteful.

Relationships come with a lot of heartache. If you look at it that way Jen is the lucky one. She's the one to see when something isn't working. She is NOT going to make the same mistake as her parents made when she was young and she had to be around when they were constantly sniping at each other. Sure marriage is meant to be taken seriously, but if it degrades to nothing but nasty fights that even a therapist can't fix, then I agree with Jen. She did the right thing and she is better off for it.

not all breakups have to do with a 3rd partyAug 12th, 2005 - 22:11:44

Jen says she's been in therapy and acknowledges that she is partly to blame for the divorce. Some possibilities:
The end began when Jen renewed her contract for Friends one more season without first consulting Brad. Brad expected the end of Friends by 2003 and that would mark the time they could settle down and try to have kids.

Jen's film career was indeed taking off and given she is 35 and it's well known actresses past 40 don't have much of a career (aren't given parts) she only has that time window to make films. Prior to the separation when Jen was asked about kids she said 'she definitely wanted them, but not just yet.'

At the same time Brad was talking to Jen about both him and her quitting the business that year since they didn't need the money and instead focus on having kids.

I think the conflict did indeed have to do with kids. Not about her not wanting them, but about her not wanting them when he wanted them. Sure Brad was attracted to Angelina, but all her other costars, the crew, and various directors says she's incredibily beautiful. But that doesn't mean any of them want to run and marry her. Yes, Jen and Brad hit a conflict. Yes Brad was upset. Yes Jen eventually felt they couldn't make this marriage work.
It's a fact of life.

For young people who date they all think they have all the time in the world. So what tends to break those relationships up is if one person becomes attracted with someone else and they think well I have all the time and I want to make sure this is the right person. But for older people like Brad and Jen (40 and 35 respectively) their problems aren't going to be that simplistic. I'll bet you anything if Angelina weren't there, Jen and Brad would still fight and still separate. Some of these young press people are naive to think that if Angelina weren't there they'd still be together. We're talking about a couple that was at war all 2003. If he felt the need to talk to someone else he'd find someone else even if it got down to bugging his ex, Gwen Paltrow.

wake up call to angelinaAug 13th, 2005 - 05:12:25

just to say, even though angelina jolie played her sly rules in this, i don't really care that much since this is a weirdo woman who simply marries, divorces, adopts, and totally freaky because she is a bit sick and does not deserve a decent comment. but brad, despite his lies and his pretentions that he loves his wife, what he was doing all these years was how to get out of the marriage and kind of get a sex feast with another woman. what does this tell you? he lied all this time - so he is simply a professional liar!! and now angelina thinks he loves her? learn from his past girl friend. he will walk away one day when he gets a part with another actress who will give her body just like u did. what goes around, comes around. love love love jen aniston. she showed her sensitive and strong side to everyone. she is the truth. i love and admire honest, decent and strong people like her. she's an inspiration for all men and women who believe in truth, faithfulness, love and marriage.

i think jen has been decent & strong through all this and going along with her own life. she simply told the public what she felt when it was time, & her interview has truth written all over it - unlike some of the interviews brad gave to show the beginning of his 'new chapter' and his new hair - that was a shame brad and a complete show off. he's going along with his new life too(too bad it's with angelina jolie though.) if he wants to end his marriage, no one would have begged him to stay. but why would he have to cheat & lower himself that much??? he's a complete skank.

To JENAug 13th, 2005 - 20:54:17

If, I doubt you are reading this, you are a charm, a well established individual. I am baffled how unknowns can even comment on the unknown. When you as a woman, finally, have your say, speak or say how you feel and they put you down, I wonder where they get a brain, or if they sit on it. You are a beautiful woman, inside and OUT. I am pondering in my mind if these people, who put u down ( and there are many who are on the ANISONT TEAM) are fat ugly and sit on the computer all day and eat twinkies and cheetos. I think I am an ok looking person, but to have someone say you dont look fine ---makes me think they are FAT UGLY AND JEALOUS !!!!!!!! WOW you are very very beautiful.

Screw you jealous bitches, Jen is a rock (as much as we all can be, but she is a doll and very nice to look at)

Jennifer is a beautiful person inside and out. I don't care how many children Angelina adopts, you are not innocent if a man leaves his wife for you. Jennifer has the right to be angry at Brad or at Angelina. Even if it's only the wrong timing of the whole thing, it still causes the most grief to Jen. She deserves so much better than Brad, who salivates after another beautiful actress while being married to beautiful Jen. If you are married, you give your marriage a chance. You don't start something else when you are still 'committed' to another person. Brad is a hunk but he is also an jerk. Angelina is just a slut and is enjoying 'winning' Brad.

Jen 'asked' for the separation and the divorceSep 20th, 2005 - 06:55:22

Sticking to the facts and random name calling:

Jan 2005 Jen and Brad announced a separation (Brad was later to admit he left up to Jen). They also annouced that their separation 'had nothing to do with a third party.'

Brad tried to make the marriage work. He and Jen got counseling. They went out to dinners (something they failed to do much of in 2003-2004: all work and no time for each other). In late March 2005 'JEN' asked for the divorce. (Brad later admitted he left both the separtion and divorce up to HER).

I can understand people being angry at Tom Cruise when he left Nicole. Afterall Tom asked for the divorce. But here Jen felt the divorce was the right thing to do. One thing important to her was that she said 'I don't want to end up like my parents did.' Her parents had some really nasty fights before her dad made the decision to divorce her mom. Jen considers the divorce her mom's fault.

So before you judge, understand this is what your idol Jen felt was the right thing to do for her. Jen is NOT crying a river. In fact days after the divorce she's announced that she is ready to date. She is not crying over Brad like you guys like to think. If anything what may very well be truer is that Brad did indeed not cheat with Angelina while he was married to Jen (this according to both Jen and Brad to mean 'before' their separation). Anyhow I think Brad is the one on the 'rebound.' I hope he and Angelina don't marry. Brad and Angelina AREN'T each other's type.

Some of you say Jen is all for solid marriage. You are wrong. Politically and morally she has stated many a time that she is a Liberal and proud of it. Meaning not conservative and not 'strictly' adhering to religion.

Jen Aniston was GOOD for her husband consistently. She is civil and believes in devotion to anything that one does. That is respectable and lovely. Brad was just a piece of work consistently I think - he was toooo difficult for her to handle. Jen believed in deep bonding, faithful marriage for all times. Brad did not want that. I don't think the guy has a clear mind - he just is messed up and just because he has good looks (aging now), he thinks the world is crazy about him. Wake up Brad - the world is crazy about good behaviour, not good looks! And Angelina Jolie (witch) made things even worse for both. Brad started thinking by his dick! But still, Angelina just fucked Brad so I don't think she cared that much about him, or his marriage - she should not, he should! I don't think she cares about anything really. Brad is now living in Angelina's terms because if he does not, he will be a laughing stock to the entire world and he knows it! He should never have treated his wife badly - though in the end he is the one who turned out to be the big looser. What goes around, comes around. And that is a fact.

I agree, I think Pitt is a looser. I simply think he is one of those big assholes walking around thinking he's all that while he definitely isn't. Too bad Angelina is with this guy. At least her weirdness is known to the entire world but I never expected her to be in this low down dirty shame of cheating with him and worse of all, pretending AS IF. Any ways, good luck to all. And who said Jen Aniston will be devastated?? Well, whoever said that - have a look at her now and take back whatever u've said about Jen. The girl has a rock-hard strong mind & personality than Mr. Brad Pitt expected, hey?

WARNING TO VINCEOct 17th, 2005 - 06:33:05

I heard u r on a date with Jen Aniston, Vince. Congratulations, good to her and she deserves to fall in love - love her timing, love her everything! And I think you are the best guy Vince - funny and considerate, her type of guy hopefully. BUT if u ever hurt her, i will have your ass! She had enough shit from Brad Pitt who cheated on her so I don't think she should get another asshole kissing her - which hopefully you are not. We all relate to Jen so that is why we all care. Let me hope you do not screw this up. But if you do, i will have your ass!

He's much better smart looking and funnier than Brad, who by the way, has yet to confirm he has cheated with Angelina. The guy is even preparing to marry Angelina, and people say she is even pregnant - how SICK is that????? Any ways, they deserve each other. Glad that Jen has survived despite Brad's cheating and lying!

I believe it was a good 4 year marriage for Jen and Brad until both of them got extremely busy with their careers in which took them to different directions. Angelia Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are both two of the most beautiful women on earth and Brad is getting the best of both of them. Jennifer is dainty, elegant and kind and Angelina is an exhabitionist and adventurous. Whatever happens from here I wish them all best in their careers and in their personal life. It is hard not to become the attention of rumorville no matter where the true story lies.
