Brad & Jen: Just Friends?
Posted on Thu Sep 6, 2007 08:12 AM PDT
According to the latest issue of V Magazine, Brad Pitt claims that he and his ex-wife still maintain a good friendship! He also says that he "stifled" any attraction to Angelina Jolie until AFTER he and Jen had decided to end things - although anyone who saw the steamy sex scenes in Mr. & Mrs. Smith might just disagree! What do you guys think, did Brad handle the break-up with dignity or did Jen get the shaft?

Do you really believe that Jen would still be able to be friends with Brad?

Unfortunately he is LYING (oh btw FIRST bitches)
I think they MIGHT be friends, but he's trying to save face by saying that. I'll believe they're friends when SHE says it. And yes, I don't care what he says, he did her wrong. In fact it made me feel so bad for her I actually like her more now that I used to (and him less, sadly).
She got the shaft!!! DUHH!!! Right like he was attracted to her after he called it quits with Jen, WHO ARE YOU FOOLING BRAD? NOT AMERICA THATS FOR SURE.
I think the world should let Brad and Angelina get on with their lives and forget about Jennifer Anniston. He has a family now and it's all over between him and Jenn. People, LET IT GO!!!!

I think people need to let it go especially the ones that say they sympathize with Jennifer Aniston. The public holding on and acting like she still is that is not helping. For the record i think he is full of BS about "stifling" feelings. Uh yeah, sure. People do need to let it go though. I would be annoyed if i were J. Aniston with the way people act about this whole thing. Life goes on. He probably made it easier for her to move on acting the way he did.
She got the shaft and he is a cheater!!
Whatever, that is why Angelia was pregnant before the divorce was even final...ummm. He just doesn't want to look bad. That is okay while he is sleeping with dirty girl Jennifer is hotter than ever and will end up coming out ahead at the end of the day! He just doesn't want to look bad but that happened a looonnnggg time ago.
He started it up again people had catually moved on, why did he have to bring it up all again, i personally do not give a toss what he says it is too late and personally i think he should have left it all in the past.
Yeah,ok! If he wants to fool himself in order to not have that burden of guilt... Go Ahead! She will be blessed.

WHO FREAKIN CARES ALREADY?
Brad pitt is a cunt a cheat and an attention seeking whore just like skankalina.
thiose two deserve each other , i hope they rott in hell, i feel sorry for the kids all the bad karma created by their parents is gonna get them in the end.
Brad please do us a favour and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I agree with some of you above - it's been like two years and it's time to LET IT GO. He left Jen and whatever I guess she got the shaft, but Brad clearly chose Angelina. Boo fucking hoo....men and women leave their wives and husbands all the time, and we as outsiders looking in will never really know the true sequence of events. So why doesn't everyone just let Brad and Angelina live their lives now? Jen is a big girl and she is going to survive. Personally, I think Angelina is better for him because he is helping contribute to society with Angelina and that is a good thing. Haven't heard much about Jen's efforts to help others?
HE IS LYING ,JEN SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD NO CONTACT.
CAN'T SAY I BLAME HER , THE WAY HE CONDUCTED HIMSELF IN THIS WHOLE SORRY AFFAIR.
HE SUCKS AS AN ACTOR AND HE SUCKKED AT BEING A HUSBAND , CAN'T WAIT TILL BRANGELINA ARE OVER I WILL LAUGH MY ASS OFF.
I would have cheated on her with Angelina too!!
Jen got the shaft, plain and simple. Brad may have tried to fend off his emotions for Angeline, but you would have a REALLY hard time convincing me she wasn't the reason he left his wife. Vows really mean nothing in Hollywood.

Brads an idiot.
Trying to justify cheating on and leaving his wife for another woman.He's trying to make it into some epic grandios "thing" he just had to do for his happiness....whatever dude.
Why can't he just admit Angelinas pussy was too great to resist and say fuck off to all that don't like what he did?I'd have a lot more respect for that and besides...he has a daughter with Angelina now,Buck up buddyLive with the consequences of your decisions; quit mentioning Jennifer Anniston as if you have any right to her "friendship".
He's just trying to get press and knows he will if he brings up Jennifer Anniston.
He is such a shmuck.I use to think he was the hottest man walking the planet.Now he repulses me with his wimpy effiminate ways.YUCK.
JEN GOT THE SHAFT???? PLEEEEEEASE!!!!
She was married to him for HOW MANY YEARS??? And didn't want to have kids, which obviously was the reason he left her for Angelina. Aniston's ship SAILED.
who the hell cares, brad and jen are over so get on to something else. damn its got to be more news than this crap. damn get over brad and jennifer long nose anniston.
Jen is a b i tch
Jen is ugly
Why can you all not "LET IT GO"? He and Angelina are raising a wonderful family and they have both said repeatedly that they are happy together with their kids. They also say that they both are ready for another child. All the more power to them!!! They can afford it so why not go for it? Brad repeatedly said that he wanted a family while he was still with Jennifer Anniston (and it seems that she chose to ignore that). He and Angelina both seem to be doing a whole lot more for others than his ex. They are with their kids...they are not out partying, drinking, or doping like most of the other celebs we read about all the time. Lottsa love on both of them!!!
I dont care whether brad cheated or what, he got beautiful babies with angelina.
Chinnifer waisted pitts time
Chinnifer is so selfish
Chinnifer thinks of herself and those f dogs of hers
angie is a whore .
i love jen
Jen is a hooker
I dont know why pitt married that fugly slut in the first place
brangeloonies are sad fucks we no lives and no morals just like brad and ange.
jen is hotter than ange anyday.
angelina=std infested slut.
ooh poor Brad...his wife wanted to wait for children.HAH - like THAT was the reason he left Jennifer.PUHLEASE.Jolie is a shameless whore.Brad and Angie deserve one another.I wish they'd go on one of their charity trips over seas and STAY THERE.I'm sick to death of both of them.They act as if they're lives are on everyones minds 24/7 and as if they are saints!When in fact they are just mediocre actor imbeciles with as much depth as a shiney new penny.
Go ahead Brad,do what you gotta do but you're still a fucking doosh and nobody believes your pathetic excuses asshole.

If Pitt and Anniston still have issues about their marriage, then they should get therapy. And, I, for one, am not their therapist. They both need to move on and quit whining to the public about their marital woes.
ummmmm...idnt he have a fling with super model April Florio before Jolie...just thought I throw that out there!
ummmmm...didnt he have a fling with super model April Florio before Jolie...just thought I throw that out there!
brad and angie will get there karma. angelina does all of her do gooder shit in an effort to how horrible she is in her personal life and how many people she has shit on over the years. not only jennifer aniston but laura dern as well. i think she seems terribly unstable-at best
angelina jolie is a pathetic cunt , please die bitch i'm sick of looking at your scrawny ass .
look how hot jen is compared to that attention whore.
jen is an idiot
x17 if you wanted hits then you've got mine today
brad and agelina should both stfu and stop bringing jen into their pathetic lives.
bradley is being pussy wipped by heroine holie.
she disgusts me , i can't even look at her.
ummmm...didnt he hook-up with super model April Florio before Angi....thats the real reason they split...or am I mistaken?
Well, it wasn't the question whether or not it's time to let it go. Besides, Brad raised the issue again by allowing it into the interview.
I think what's done is done. I do, however, believe he and Angelina handled things in a disgustingly poor manner. I mean, come ON - they couldn't wait a few months until the divorce was final to start trying for a baby (A.J fully admitted it was no mistake)? Very tactless and disrespectful. I have no issue if they really felt they were soul mates, etc. but I think there is no denying they ABSOLUTELY could have handled it better than they did - with some compassion towards JA. Regardless of whether or not you are a fan of JA's - she is human and nobody else would have appreciated this happening to them ESPECIALLY in the public eye! I also think A.J has been passive aggressive towards J.A (again, tacky) since then. I think in the same interview where she admitted to trying to conceive, she stated it was clear "Brad was married to his best friend". Ouch - talk about an insulting comment - implying their was no spark, etc.!
Anyway, everyone has moved on, but their behaviour certainly lowered my opinion of them. I just don't think either of them were thinking of anyone but themselves. While I think it's great that they help people in need, I don't think that those acts absolve them of being compassionate to everyone regardless of financial status!
ummmm...didnt he hook-up with super model April Florio before Angi....thats the real reason they split...or am I mistaken?
She for sure got the shaft..But I really wouldn't mind getting Brad Pitt's shaft...
I Don´t belive Pitt!!
Go Jen!!
I Don´t belive Pitt!!
Go Jen!!
jen should go to hell
jen should die
jen likes boytoys, she likes to teach them bad things
Brangelina lovers are as shallow and dimwitted as the two of them are.
Brad fell for another woman while married.He proceeded to leave his wife and carry on a very public tryst with said woman,disrespecting everything he now claims means a lot to him in this current publicity interview of his.
If his marraige and Jenns friendship meant so much to him why would he act the way he did before they were even divorced?Why did he use the baby thing as an excuse to leave his wife if he respected her and their marraige?WHY would he even think of making Jenn out to be some cold barren bitch if he ever cared about her??
Bringing Jennifer up now is fanning the flames aka getting publicity for his new movie.He's as shameless as Angelina is.Go to hell Brad and leave Jennifer Anniston the hell alone.
jen is a kidnapper, she kidnapped huvan
brad and angelina will get all of their bad karma back to them. this isn't the first time that angelina has done this...remember laura dern. yea angelina does great charity work now but she still shits on people left and right in her personal life. its like she is trying to overcompensate for it all. besides she is bat shit crazy
angelina is nearly dead .
hurray for anorexia.
she should just kill herself
jen is a kidnapper, she wanted to kidnap pitt's daughter cos she aint any good

jen is infertile
angelina is nearly dead .
hurray for anorexia.
she should just kill herself
jen will never have fun cos of her bitching
since when has being infertile been a crime.
you jen haters are the scum of the earth , you have no morals or scrupules.
you worship this overrated couple who ruined a woman's life , you disgust me.

The man has a right to tell his side of the story. First of all he was asked a question by an interviewer and he answered apprropiately. Where were all of you when Jennifer shafted him in all of her many interviews?. He nor Angelina never ever said one bad word against Ms Anniston. People divorce people. Move on, its not your life. Brad is happy with his life right now and he's entitled like the rest of us are. If he were to leave Angelina one day then that is his right also. So please all you haters get a freaking life.
That's another thing Brad did to Jen;FOREVER Jennifer Anniston will be pegged as a victim of her cheating husband and all the excuses he made public as to why he left her and EVERYTIME Angelina Jolie is brought up they will ptiy Jennifer Anniston in the same sentence.
Jennifer Anniston spoke about this when it first happened as ANYONE would.When was the last time she spoke about this publicly?When was the last time an interviewer didn't bring the topic up to her?
The viciousness towards her by Brangelina nuts is just UNBELIEVABLY cruel and so unjustified.
I don't even like her nor do I think she is particularly beautiful but BRAD MARRIED HER.whose fucking fault is it that he ended it the way he did????
To the people saying to let it go...BRAD IS THE ONE BRINGING IT UP. He is a coward, he is just using this to sell his movie. SELF-CENTERED BASTARD!!!
He's really saying that he didn't sleep with Angelina before things were sorted out between him and Jen. I believe it because every woman he's ever been with said that he's a decent guy and Ange wanted him bad so she surely teased him but didn't sleep with him to make sure he really dumped Jen first. I don't feel sorry for Jen. She is a boring, self-centered wannabe movie star who had it good and blew it. I don't blame him for wanting to get something better after sacrificing 7 years of his life to someone who clearly lied about her priorities. She got MORE than she deserved (fame, money, pity parties) and Brad is much better off without her. And yes, I agree that he morphs into the woman he's with.. maybe that's why he was so f*ing BORING when he was with Jennifer.
Has anyone ever wondered just why Jen can not keep a man... just look at her past. Kind of makes you wonder!!!!!
Has anyone wonder why Angelina has to failed marriages??? She is A CRAZY B!TCH. I feel sorry for those kids, but not for Brad. He deserves the trash he has with him.
I'm afraid it's JEN who's getting her Karma now.. look at her: no man, no kids, her career is stalling after Brad left. She is the fifth wheel in the Arquettes marriage and that's pretty much it. Don't blame Brad for the fact that she could never get her life together. Jen is about Jen, period. She'll never keep a man and it's not Angelina's fault. BTW, Laura Dern slept with a married father of two (Ben Harper) and have him leave his wife and kids. Their younger is almost the same age as Laura's first kid with Ben. And you stupid, pathetic bitches call Angelina names. At least she didn't break up a family like Jen's best buddy, Laura Dern did.
To Anonymous, wishing death on Angelina is beyond stupid. you are a moron, idiot. Angelina has more accomplished more in hre little finger than you will ever have in your pathetic little life. So type away at your libary computer all your nonsensical drivel you hater. May the devil be your guide.
jen is a bitch
jen should die, am bored with her
jen cant keep aman, that fact
Please Jen was so stiff, he probably had to jack off all the time to get himself off. He made it clear from the beginning he wanted kids and she kept on postponing it for her career. She is selfish and Brad looked for greener grass. Angie and Brad are the perfect couple because they have the same goals...unlike Jenn and Brad. She just looked our for herself. She told newspapers after their split that she wanted to work on a baby....really so why 4 movies in 2 years? That doesn't sound like someone who wants to work on a family.
Go Angie and Brad....
jen is a loser with five stars from the word b i t ch
i dont understand why pitt said their friend when the bi tch tryed to kill herself
Brad knows he needs to sell this crap, so he is using Jennifer. "Deep frienship" lol! He is NOT fooling anyone with this. He is nothing but a coward just like the whore he has for girlfriend.
I am sorry but I will always think that poor JA really did get jacked in that whole situation. They didn't give a shit about her or her feelings or what she had to endure publicly or any of it for that matter. She was so humiliated and I don't think that she will ever really fully recover from the way he did her. He dropped her like a really bad habit and impregnated AJ so fast that everyones heads were spinning. JUST tactless and tasteless to whatever degree in my book. Angeling Jolie the little vixen that she is and then how now she so promotes herself as such the do gooder, it just doesn't match up with her morals or ethics in other areas of her life. I don't know the whole thing is just wierd to me. But whatever, their the ones who live with their choices, so.... se la vie.
Oh em gee. My theory was that Brad wanted kids and fell in love with Maddox on the set of Mr. and Ms. Smith. Angelina milked it and pretended she wanted nothing more in life than to raise millions of children. So, Brad fell for it. And he fell in love with the mother of Maddox. If she didn't have Maddox, I can almost guarantee that he would have never divorced Jen to be with her.
Jen aboted at avery young age, 13 is not big enough to have sex. she really is an ass h***
she will never have kids cos she aboted and i dont think god likes that. she had sex herself noone forced her.
she is a b8888 i tch
Brad knows he needs to sell this crap, so he is using Jennifer. "Deep frienship" lol! He is NOT fooling anyone with this. He is nothing but a coward just like the whore he has for girlfriend.
if you like brad and ange than you must be one of those ppl who have no respect for other ppl's feelongs.
those two treated jen like dirt , angie's vigina will soon start to itch and she'll want another cock because brad's isn't doing a good job.
To debjosy
But wishing death for Jennifer is ok???? What kind a retard are you.
Brad knows he needs to sell this crap, so he is using Jennifer. "Deep frienship" lol! He is NOT fooling anyone with this. He is nothing but a coward just like the whore he has for girlfriend.
COME ON !!! LIKE we believe he 'held back' til he and jen were finished.
BLEAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think brangelina is full of shit, they don´t stop adotping children and they don´t even think that all that diferrences of culture might affect their children. Angelina is just a actress, she fakes she is helping some people, the truth is she is not helping anyone. and have kids is really a big step, so if jen wasn´t ready if he really loved her he would wait, and not like angelina who adopt child like it was some kind of joke, cause for Angelina it´s funny she can. Angelina is just stupid, if she really cared about her kids she would at least eat and wouldn´t be so thin looks like she is dying. I think brad did it all wrong, his career was perfect, it was not wrong that jen wanted to try some other things after friend´s ended. He should´ve gave her a break. He is pathetic
brangeloonies are all retarded .
most of them are under the impression that brad and angie are genuine people.
they are attention seeking whores who'll do anything to have people talk about them.
TEAM ANISTON FOREVER.
I wish Brad and Angelina just move to way. I am sick and tired of them. One is a whore and the other one a sick bastard.

No ange wont want another man but that slut called jen goes for boytoys cos she wants to give them diseases. why abort at 13. i thank her mum for telling us what her daughter was like. the american sweetheart was once pregnant but she chose to abort it cos she's too selfish to take care of a kid. why have sex at 13,get pregnant and then abort it???? she's a cow
Thanks for that interview, Brad, you just showed to everybody, what an a$$hole you really are. Every time these two opened their mouths they put their foot in it. They should try to promote their movie with trailers instead of giving interviews.
Jen must be dying for sex now that bradley (the man she's datind) is sleeping with another bitch at the moment
anon 9:43 You are fool of it!! Non of that is true. It was another made up story from the tabloids. BTW the tabloids are also saying Angelina has a deadly desease. Maybe that's true right!! lol lol
bradley the man chinnifer is dating is dirvoncing his wife now and already having an affair with big bi tch ass h** slut chinnifer, that's what happened with pitt right??? he started dating beautiful angelina when the dirvonce was still in process and yet you say he cheated, nah think again! they are free to do whatever they want once they are separated. if you think he cheated on her, then that means that slut is now cheating on her x wife. Jen is stupid and a bustad
Brad is a egocentrinc bastard!! Why bring up his ex now after 2 1/2 years???
Angelina is sick!! Poor Brad is going to have to raise those kids by himself. She is addicted to diet pills, no wonder she wasting away. She probably looks in the mirror and thinks she is fat. LOL!
Angelina is mentally ill, her father said so. She is going to end up cutting herself when she can no longer handle the pressure. Brad probably feels sorry for her now. Too bad for those kids.
I don't know about a deadly disease but Angelina is mentally ill, her father said so. She is going to end up cutting herself when she can no longer handle the pressure. Brad probably feels sorry for her now. Too bad for those kids.
jenifer should die, bored of her

i hate manistonnnnnnnnn
Why does he care so much what the public thinks of how he treated Jennifer?
He's saying he couldn't help himself, "he had to do what was right for his life"...? and....? that absolves him and Angie of the despicable way they disrespected and humiliated his then wife and now so called 'good friend'?
Who the fuck cares.He only talks about this because it will bring attention to his film.
Go play happy family with your rainbow coalition and that bisexual S&M loving mentally unstable gaunt sickly woman you left your wife for.Go play humanitaran and saintly do gooder.For fucks sake go live that life but atleast have the decency to stop pretending you acted on the up and up to get where you are today.You didn't,we know it and seriously?The Jenn & Brad divorce thing is oooold!Move on my friend.MOVE ON.
Fanistons are losers just like their idol
Angie is a psyco bitch from hell, if and when bradley decides to leave her , she'll probably threaten to kill herself and the kids.
she is a bunny boiler.
fatal attraction whore.
die bitch.
OH yeah right. Does everyone in Hollywood think that the rest of us are as STUPID as they are? JEEEESH. All I can say is this: Angelina, if he cheated on Jen with YOU, gear up babycakes, history WILL repeat itself. Only thing is no one will feel SORRY for you, for you had it coming. It's karma!

I agree with all of you who say move on. Whatever, he dumped Jen for Angie. Happens and why do all these kooks keep getting so worked up about it-name calling and being so mean. People act like he dumped them or something. Move on and get a life. He wasn't your husband.

faniston losers cant stand the fact that jolie is pregnant for the second time. life was hell for pitt with aniston, now he's moved on with his life with another woman and yet you cant appriciate that pitt now is a new man with common sense. pitt will never sleep with that cheap slut that goes for her own bodygurd
gosssssssh jen should die with her dogs now
jen is always a loser
jen will always lose cos she's a loser.... PS AND V V left her cos she aint any good. all the juice is gone. she aborted at 13 so she aint sweet anymore
jen the bi tch
Whatever helps you sleep at night Brad, you dellusional prick.
jen is an ass h***, three stars aint enough lets give her five for a b* i* T* c* *H

she's plastic. yeah you heard me jen is plastic. fake nose and fake everything
People are very quick to judge Angelina a home wrecker and why? She's beautiful and sexy? She had always lived her life very out in the open and had previously said she would never sleep w/ a married man. Maybe they really did put their attraction on hold until he separated. Not all people are cheaters or dirtbags. Some people in H-Wood actually do have morals. He and Jen were obviously not right for each other for the long haul. So far so good w/ he and Angelina but only time will tell. I wish them all well.
OH MY, I CANT STAND TO SEE HER CROTCH AGAIN, ITS SO GROSS!!! WHAT THUNDER THIGHT SHE HAS, TOO.
BTW, BRAD AND JEN ARE SO OVER, NO NEED TO DISCUSS. JEN SAID HER PIECE IN VF, ITS BRAD'S TURN! LETS MOVE ON!
He should just be a man and admit that 1)he cheated on his wife and 2)he's very happy with his decision to do so.
But then that would make him an asshole and his movies wouldn't go over so well.Plus if it weren't for the Jennifer Anniston angle nobody would really give a shit about him or his shitty acting.So not only does he dump his wife in a most unceremonious and humiliating way but he's going to use her for publicity too!
Wow!Such a great guy that Brad.

Love the jolie pitt forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever wondered why Brad has not married Angelina? Maybe he is just not that secure in his feelings for her or trusts her feelings to make a legal binding commitment. Maybe just maybe he knows that what he did was totally cruel. He basically devasted a person he had promised to love forever, someone he considered his best friend.
Maybe he knows this and doesn't want it to happen to him because face it Angie is a well used vessel and she enjoys it. Maybe he just doesn't trust that she will stay. Or maybe he just doesn't love her enough. He just wants the kids and as long she satisfies him sexually he might as well stay with her. Because No Other Woman will ever trust him to be faithfull and commited to a relationship.

I agree that while it's not his fault he fell in love with another woman,he shouldn't have taken that widely publized and photographed vaction with Jennifer.He was pictured hugging and kissing her and then days latter it was all over!BE HONEST AND UPFRONT!!That is all I'm saying....if you think it's over and you find yourself in someone else's bed....TELL YOUR PARNTER BEFORE A STRANGER DOES!!MALE OR FEMALE...JUST SHOW SOME CLASS IF YOU CAN'T SHOW HEART!!!

To Anonymous-" A well used vessel"?!? What effing year is this? Do you really think we are all just sperm vessels?! I hope your dick falls off, you misogynistic piece of crap! Do you make your woman(as if you have one!)sleep on the couch during that time of the month b/c she's a "dirty vessel"? LOSER!!!!
he cheated.. anjis a whore... "i would never get into a relationship with a married man cause my father did it to my mother and it was horrible"-jolie ... LIE! freakin liar! HE CHEATED FOR SURE!
I hate Brad, that's all!!!!! He's disgusting!!!!
I hate Brad, that's all!!!!!
He's right about one thing:he definitely is losing his looks,ha! while Jennifer looks fresh and young an hot as hell and his praying manis of girlfriend keeps getting more sickly looking by the day(coincidence that Billy Bob is looking much like sickly thin angie these days?).
You two deserve eachother Brad.Jennifer doesn't want or need your pity or friendship.How vile of you to assume she needs your validation in anyway after you betrayed and humiliated her.She's moved on.So should you you ugly prick.
Jen 'i hate kids' Aniston started this whole mess with her BooHoo PITY PARTY interview in VF. if brad left her for angelina, why did she need to tell the whole damn world? why not deal with it in private? that's how you deal with your pain, you give a tell all interview. what a fucking bitch. i'm glad she got dumped, dumbass.

Brad is full of shit!!!! According to Jolie, she was preggers before the divorce was final. Why would anyone believe anything brad has to say he's a cheater!
One of the most famous couples in the world is torn apart by another famous Hollywood whore and Jenn is suppose to keep mum on the subject!?Yeah,I think not.Brad and his whore went on to whore their "love" out to the magazines with a a layout of them acting like a happy couple complete with kids and Jennifer suppose to pretend she isn't bothered by that?Fucking hell!She was married to the guy...have you never been in a relationship?It hurts when you get cheated on and yeah it makes you a bit crazy.I'm surprised she didn't go shoot that motherfucker for what he did so publicly to her.
Jennifer is a MUCH biiger woman that I am cuz I woulda made life a much bigger hell for Brad and his whore than Jennifer Anniston has even thought of making it for them.
A girl that I know was all for Brad and Angie cause Brad wanted kids till her husband dumped her for a freakie.
Yeap, I agree that the fault is with the VF interviewer who painted the image of a pity party. Till now, hundreds of smiling photos of JA still can't erase the pity party image thrusted upon her by VF after nearly 3 years. Stupid VF interviewer and stupid Huvane for Oking the interview. Anyway, clever Reese for keeping quiet!

Jennifer Aniston NEVER said she hated kids.
i agree rose. reese and ryan's marriage failed, but did reese pull a pity party like jen aniston. no reese was classy, strong and handled the situation like a pro. she dealt with it in private. jen has major psychological/mental issues, if she needs the WHOLE WORLD to throw her a pity party.
Why is it that the only ones talking about the ex-relationship is the Brad & Angie (maybe they feel guilty). Of course, he stifled his sexual attraction until he called it quits.... but don't believe for a moment he was going to work out the relationship with Aniston. He was just trying to end it quicky with as much dignity and compassion he could handle with his thoughts below the belt for Angie. I think Aniston will continue to be the winner out of this mess. Angie looks and acts like a villian & Brad looks like the prince that turned into a frog!
LIAR
He's just trying to whitewash the affair, rewrite history. Everybody knew about it before the divorce, so he's just lying.
When are people going to actually take marriage vows seriously? What's the point of taking them? They don't mean anything. They need to add, "as long as I want to."
These adulterers always have tried to make themselves look saintly. Is the public really buying this?
What a spineless whiney coward he is.Go adopt another kid Brad and STFU already.
why do people hate on Aniston? Brad was the one who dipped his wick in another woman's oil can. And what ever happened to a little something called marriage?!!! Of course he and Jen were having big problems, but people are acting like Jen needs to get over herself. Last time I checked Brad and Angie-devil girl-cannot keep their big traps shut. Jen had every right to give that Vanity Fair interview a few years ago-THAT WAS HER HUSBAND!! When did we become a society of, oh well, that was fun, let me marry someone else. Jen is ragged on daily for not being able to keep a man--when has Jolie ever kept one? She leaves them and will do the same to Brad. Brad is a loser and goes from woman to woman calling all of them his angel. Just because Brad and Angie want to "save all of the children" of the world, does not mean the leopards have changed their spots. I bet Jen has moved on, but even if it still hurts her...Brad and she were married!
Brad and Angelina need to shut it up on the double and Jen haters, come on now, only guilty people try to make them selves look better and that is all Angie and Brad are trying to do...make themselves look better...
In the end you cant help who you fall in love with. All of this stuff is in the past for them and i think the media needs to stop asking him about it in interviews. He has a family now and thats what matters. Its unfortunate someone got hurt, but im sure Jenn is over it by now, people need to let it go.
Who gets Brad's shaft is totally up to Brad.
Boy, the nutcases on both sides are on here today!
Brad is a cheater and Angelina is a whore! she said she would never hooked up with a married man, but then she was pregnant when Brad was still married to Jen!

I believe that their marriage was over in 2004, because two things happened that should have brought up read flags to their fans. One the fair well show for "Friends" Brad did not attend and Jennifer came up with an lowsy excuse as to why he wasn't there and two this couple was apart for over 6 months while he was shooting "Troy" which she bragged about in an interview to the fact that because Brad is not there she could decorate the house the way she wanted without his input. What couple would stay away from each other for the long of a period of time and not go and see each other when they have the means to do so. What partner would miss a big event in their life, and apparently the last for Jennifer. WAKE UP PEOPLE THEIR MARRIAGE WAS ON THE ROCKS AND CLOSE TO BEING OVER WAAAAYYYY BEFORE MR. & MRS. SMITH! Of course, what I say want matter to the folks who want to live through Jennifer and think this woman is suffering from her dissolved marriage and therefore they will forever blame Angelina for something that was already broken.
Jennifer I feel chose the life she has now and she has no body to blame but herself. She again has said in an interview that she has committment issues due to her parents divorce, this woman is very insecure. It is a wonder that her & Brad stayed married as long as they did. Hell, Brad was even quoted as saying he was depressed during the first few years of their marriage, her disease spilled over to him until he woke up and decided he could not live like that anymore and can you blame him. Life is too short to do nothing when you can be doing something more meaningful & purpose driven. It takes two to make a marriage work and it just wasn't working because of both parties, not a third.
It's funny how everyone say Brad was cheating on Jen while they were not fully divorce but yet it was okay for Jennifer to be shagging Vince Vaughn 2 months after they separated. Wow, what a doubled standard. She should be called a lying cheat & whore as well.
Really, and I mean really bad karma colors. You can save all the little children you want, my man, adultery is still adultery. Brad's gonna burn!
Can you please take that horrible swimsuit photo of Jennifer down. That bikini bottom is way, way, way too small for her, she is not 19, heck a 19 year old shouldn't wear a suit that small. She has a okay body but the suit looks horrible on her.
Does he think that we are idiots???
He just wants to clean his image.
Aniston never said they where friends...I will only believe when she says it.
I HATE IT WHEN SOME PEOPLE KEEP SAYING YOU HAVE TO LET IT GO, HOW DO YOU LET IT GO , WHEN BRAD PITT , KEEP BRING UP THE SUBJECT, THE MOMENT PEOPLE WANT TO FORGET ABOUT. YOU SHOULD NOT BE MAD AT AMERICA TO RESPOND TO CAN OF WORM THAT HE IS OPENING EVERY ONCE IN WHILE , YOU SHOULD BE MAD AT HIM, STIRRING THINGS LIKE THAT.
I THINK ,HE IS USING THIS AS A PUBLICIY.

Brad and Angelina just need to keep their mouths shut. Jen isn't doing
the talking. Why do they keep bringing
it up. Are they that insecure? Angelina
talks about her sex life all the time.
Do you really believe she went without...They got paid to have pictures
taken in Africa and then denied they
were together. She even said she had
men she meet at hotels. If they would
have told the truth in the beginning it
would have been over with. Jen clearly
has moved on and they need to now.There
was a picture of them when they were
making the movie. They had a whole floor of the hotel to themselves. Think
they were just playing cards.....We
would have to be idiots to think they
didn't cheat but who cares now.....I am
so sick of Brad, Angelina and their kids
that I sure wouldn't go see a movie. They aren't saints and never will be.He's a fool to even bring it up
and his words are almost identical to
Angelina's in her stories.

I can't help it but i'm still firmly seated in team Aniston. I don't think i'll ever be able to get over what they did to her. Imagine having to watch the man you love with another woman and adopting her kids. It's just such a harsh sitiation.
Brad, keep your mouth shut awhile,
take your girl friend and house full
of kids and stay out of sight for a
little bit. They need a stable home,
friends and to go to school. Quit acting
like you are saints and pretending you
are so wonderful. I for one think that
Angelina's crazy ways have worn off on
you.

These people on the board need psychiatric help. What are they doing to help their fellow man. In american adultry is not a crime. We don't stone people. I think many people here want to harm Brad and Angelina, for some perceive slight to them.
I agree with the comment above. If he did cheat, does that make him a criminal? And it wasn't some sordid affair--brad and angelina have a family together. I believe that Jen will also have this one day.
Only Brad and Angie know when they started a relationship. Brad is very influenced by his partners. He is a much NICER person since his split from Jen. Who wouldn't fall in love with Angelina. She is awesome!

I love you, Brad...but you are a pathetic liar.
THE EQUATION IS SIMPLE:
Angie asked to Jenn:
Do you want to share that man!!???
Jenn said no = Angie just took him
Jenn + Brad = 0
Angie + Brad = all those kids...

I AGREE, I DO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY ARE MAD AT JEN , SHE IS NOT THE ONE WHO DID THE INTERVIEW , BRAD DID, WHY DON'T SOME PEOPLE WANT TO GET THE MESSAGE, IT IS HIM STIRRING THINGS UP FOR PUBLICITY AND YOU ARE INSULTING GEN FOR THAT , IT IS NOT FAIR, AND IT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE UNFAIR AND IGNORANT FOOL.SO BLAME HIM FOR IT NOT SOMEBODY ELSE.
Jen, got the SHAFT and he's a DICK for bringing up 2 years later. Brad, is a puppet...I bet his friends laugh everytime they see him carrying the kids around for Angie.
Jolie was pregnant before the divorce was final. Enough said.
Jennifer was screwing Vince Vaughn before the divorce was final. Enough said.
Jen got the SHAFT!! What kind of old ass question is this? I doubt that she would have anything to do with him now anyway.
Brad is weak and it's only a matter of time before he gets bored with bony Jolie and cheats on her too!

Mr. Brad would still be with Ms. Jen if she had his baby- end of that story. I think he is happier with his life today. The kids are loved. Pitt and Jolie are a great couple, good people and doting committed parents. I admire their humanitarian work, donations and efforts to better our world. This family is solid. Cheers!
Brad is weak and it's only a matter of time before he gets bored with bony Jolie and cheats on her too!
Brad is clearly making excuses. Fess up a**hole. He knew how Jen was when he married her but as soon as he met Angie he seemed to act like he didn't know what time it was. Hello..marriage is sacred and not a game. If you're not ready to commit, don't do it.
She got shafted.
Brad Pitt is scum. Who leaves Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie? A f'n lunatic, that's who. niiiice. Jen's better off without his ass.
you don't "stifle attraction" nice try Brad you're still a dog who traded up

you americans are so stupid. 200+ angry comments about brad, jen and angelina. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. soooooo stupid. no wonder that beauty contestant was dumber than a rock. this is what americans do -spend their days arguing about celebs. HAAHAHAHAHA.

I WORKED ON THE SET OF MR AND MRS SMITH AND BRAD AND ANGELINA WOULD GO TO HER TRAILER AND STAY THERE FOR A WHILE...THEN COME OUT AFTERWARDS HOLDING HANDS AND THEY WOULD BOTH BE SWEATY AND RED FACED. JUST THE FACTS.
First of all, celebs don't answer personal questions they don't want to. This interview was clearly arranged with talking points.
Brad is now talking because of his new movie. He saw what happened to " A Mighty Heart" and, is scared of a similar response to "Jesse James".
His affair with Jolie has damaged both of their careers. He and Jolie did a massive media blitz/spin after he split with Aniston; they were attempting to create a super couple image, ready to help all mankind. They tried to give the impression that Aniston is all about tanning and clothes-not true.
There are countless people in hollywood who give millions to charity and go unnamed, purposely. Read your Bible, you are to give in secret so God rewards you in the open.
I never liked Pitt, pre-marriage and post. I have absolutely no regard for him now. Aniston has emerged from this smear campaign more favored by fans and now liked by people who didn't like her before.
I can't wait to see the reviews of his movie.
Even if Brad and Angelina no longer want to be together, they will pretend happiness for years.
They have dug a very deep hole for themselves. The embarrasment they fear is great. Elizabeth Taylor talked with Larry King about her affair with Eddie Fisher that broke up his marriage to Debbie Reynolds(the nice girl in hollywood). Taylor and Fisher divorced after three years. She too suggested that she had done Reynolds a favor by taking her husband. Three years later they split. He was too diffucult to live with.
None of us know just what crap Jolie and Pitt have to put up with from each other. They are stuck with each other. They have probably decided to get as much money as possible from their public personas as serial adopters.
Look at the pictures of them at any awards ceremony-the latest being in Venice. These two people are not happy, even their smiles are disengenuious.
They've made their bed of adultery and now they are forced to lie in it to hide their regrets.
OMG! Move on people!! Get a life!! Jennifer is a no talent, whiny bitch! No wonder Brad left. And you can't "steal someone from their s/o if the are happy! They are a beautiful family and great humanitarians. Aniston does what?
well i kinda disagree with brad shes chathibing!
CHEATER! LOSER!!! And now married to a SKELETON that smells like a bunch of LIES! Angie is NEVER going to change her ways. One way or another, she's trying to gain everyone's love by her charity - I'm not buying it! Jen didn't deserve that kind of treatment, she was knocked up in his SOON TO BE ex-wife's face!!! HOW IS ANGIE A SAINT?
The truly sad thing is that Angelina totes her children across the world weekly (to bring attention to causes -how honorable) I'm not really sure you know what is best for these kids. They're too young, do this when thier in thier late teens or just occasionally not weekly. They should be the most important thing, not these causes. Do you read to them, do they color, do they now how to read, do they have friends, do they sleep well in these strange places? Sure we see pictures of you at the park and zoo, yipee! Shouldnt your oldest be in school? For god sakes let them make friends at home instead of just adopting another sibling for them to play with. These kids are so fortunate financially, but so unfortunate in so many of the more important things of life. Please stay home with thier kids and give them some sense of normalcy - do your kids even know where thier home is?
Pitt's a selfish asshole and so are his fans. Both the hO and Pittface deserve each other's misery. Oh, and geniuse HOHO freaks, Pittface and the disease-ridden HO are the ones who can't stop talking about Jennifer. Get a clue.
Comment to Chauncey at top of blog: "People let it go" Brad Pitt is people - he needs to let it go!
he outgrew jen when i saw his interview on primetime it was all oner his face... angelina joile is a sexuall sick freak and she took brad to that sick part of her life. she freaked him and he left jen but as they say dic* has no brain and pu**y has no face it is a freak fest with those to remember brad in kalifornia with juliette lewis in that car that's the real brad pitt he is a freak
whoa i just read some of these comments and i am lmao i love it yall are out cold damn you all make media take out look like sunday school ilove this shit keep it coming and angelina is a nasty little thing isnt she
TEAM ANISTON! He needed his lif to be all it could be - pathetic! Translation: I'm selfish! Married people think many others are attractive throughout the marriage. The difference some people have intergrity and loyalty. Along with the sensitivity chip, he's missing those too. Just wait Angie, something else attractive will come along someday. Karma is a _____!
He's a liar. If he wanted out fine but
he was insenitive to the point of being
mean. Jen has not mentioned him for a
couple years. My friends sure wouldn't
treat me that way, boy toy. Even if he
was ask a question he didn't have to
make it sound the way he did. He is
really, really stupid. If you have seen
his inteviews you already know that. I
hope for all those poor little kids that
he and Angelina are making it and Jen
is doing fine. She'll find someone when
she is ready, get married and have a
baby.
The Unsinkable Jennifer Aniston- Vanity Fair September 2005
By Leslie Bennetts
Photos by Mario Testino
Transcript by Laura
When Jennifer Aniston opens the door to the Malibu bungalow she's been holed up in lately, she gives me a radiant smile and an effusive hello.
Then she bursts into tears.
We have scarcely sat down in the living room, a serene little haven simply furnished with cushy white sofas and white flowers and white candles, when her face crumbles. She is instantly aghast. "I haven't been feeling emotionally lately, really I haven't," she wails, fluttering her hands like Rachel Green in distress, except that this time it isn't funny.
Other than the 24-hour security detail guarding her safety, Aniston is all alone in the modest rental where she has camped out while dealing with the end of her marriage to Brad Pitt - and its devastating aftermath, which has been far worse than the actual split. The last few months have brought an endless nightmare of hurtful headlines about her soon-to-be-ex-husband, along with the blatantly fraudulent stories about herself, in the tabloids and supermarket gossip magazines. Pursued around the clock by the rapid paparazzi she refers to as "ratzies", she is ambushed even on her own deck by photographers who lurk on the beach outside her door, spying on her every move.
As she squeezes her eyes shut in an effort to stop crying, the scene provides a painful contrast with the last time we met. Little more than a year ago, I interviewed Pitt at the Beverly Hills mansion that he and Aniston had just spent two years renovating. A testament to both his passion for architecture and the couple's hopeful vision of their shared future, the beautiful old house awaiting only a baby in a bassinet to complete a picture-perfect existence.
When I left, they both walked me out to my car. Their home, its windows lit and welcoming, glowed in the twilight. As we said our good-byes, Pitt and Aniston leaned together in the drive-way, arms twined around each other. Her head rested trustingly on his buff chest, still pumped up from his rigorous training to play the warrior Achilles in Troy.
They seemed the most fortunate couple imaginable - two beautiful superstars who had hit the jackpot, earning not only fame and riches but also an enduring love. Their fans had long been captivated by the romance of America's Sweetheart and the Sexiest Man in the World, and now they were ready to begin a thrilling new chapter. Aniston's 10-year run on Friends was ending, and she and Pitt had vowed to start a family when her stupendously successful television series was finished.
Pitt's final words to me reinforced the impression of connubial bliss: "I'm happier than I've ever been." But the ensuing months brought an onslaught of rumors that he had gotten involved with Angelina Jolie while filming Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Instead of the joyful announcement many had anticipated from the Pitts, there was only silence. The New Year began with photographs of the beautiful couple strolling hand in hand along the beach on Anguilla, looking relaxed and happy. Immediately the buzz shifted into rhapsodic re-appraisals of the state of their union.
And then came the oh-so-civilized announcement, on January 7, that Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt were separating - that their parting was "the result of much thoughtful consideration," that it was not caused by "any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media," and that they would remain "committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another."
If Pitt had kept a low profile in the months to come, that might have even turned out to be true. Instead, the ominous drumroll of gossip began to crescendo as he and Jolie rendezvoused in exotic locales, still denying that they were an item. With the paparazzi snapping away, Pitt stepped into what looked suspiciously like a paternal role with Jolie's adopted Cambodian son, Maddox.
"It was extremely hurtful to Jen that he was seen with another woman so quickly after they were separated," says Andrea Bendewald, an actress who has been one of Aniston's closest friends since they were teenagers.
Instead of being reviled as The Other Woman, Jolie posed for pictures on an energetic round of appearances as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations - and then trumped even that public-relations bonanza by adopting another orphan, an African girl whose parents had died of AIDS. In the blink of an eye, the twice-divorced Jolie - previously known as a tattooed vixen with a taste of bisexuality, heroin, brotherly incest, mental institutions, and wearing her husband's blood - had morphed into a globe-trotting humanitarian who seemed to be channelling Audrey Hepburn.
For the 36-year-old Aniston, who had expected to spend the last year being pregnant, the pain of watching this spectacle unfold was compounded by vicious rumors about herself. As misogynist as they were false, sensationalistic stories claimed the real reason the marriage ended was that Aniston refused to have Pitt's baby because she was so ambitious she cared only about her career.
Even now, that sexist slur makes her face darken. "A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children," she says. "That really pissed me off. I've never in my life said I don't want to have children. I did and I do and I will! The women who inspire me are the ones who have careers and children; why would I want to limit myself? I've always wanted to have children, and I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all."
Aniston's intimate note acidly that Pitt could have done more to refute the mean-spirited rumor that his wife wouldn't bear his children, which reinforced the impression that he had good cause to leave her for Earth Mother Jolie. To some, this looks like sheer hypocrisy.
"When Brad and Jen were in the marriage, having a baby was not his priority - ever," says one mutual friend. "It was an abstract desire for him, whereas for Jen it was much more immediate. So is there a part of Brad that's diabolical? Did he think, I want to get out of this marriage, but I want to come out smelling like a rose, so I'm going to let Jen be cast as the ultra-feminist and I'm going to be cast as the poor husband who couldn't get a baby and so had to move on?"
As the image wars raged in the gossip media, a heartbroken Aniston retreated to her Malibu hideaway to lick her wounds in private, accompanied by only her elderly corgi-terrier mix, Norman, who spends most of his time snoring on his dog bed. Public sympathy seemed to be on her side; the Hollywood boutique Kitson reported that its "Team Aniston" T-shirts were outselling "Team Jolie" T-shirts by a margin of 25 to 1. But that was cold comfort as Aniston was assaulted by one provocation after another.
When the Pitts broke up, Brad insisted he hadn't slept with Jolie, and Aniston accepted his denial. "She wasn't naïve," says Kristin Hahn, an executive at Pitts' production company, Plan B. "She's not suggesting she didn't know there was an enchantment, and a friendship. But Brad was saying, 'This is not about another woman.'"
The moment he and Aniston separated, however, he re-emerged in what looked like a full-blown affair with Jolie. Struggling to accept a separation she never wanted, Aniston found that the "facts" she had been told kept shifting like quicksand beneath her feet. When I ask about that gracious, no-one-is-to-blame announcement of their separation, she takes a deep breath. "What we said was true - "
As I raise my eyebrows, she pauses for a moment, and then adds carefully, "as far as I knew. We wrote it together, very consciously, and felt very good about it. We exited this relationship beautifully as we entered it."
All Aniston wanted then was to figure out what happened; how did the happy life they'd planned drift so far off course? But everything changed on April 29, when photographs broke of Brad and Angelina, frolicking on the beach with Maddox at a romantic resort in Africa. "The world was shocked, and I was shocked," she says, still bending over backward to not excoriate her ex.
But to say that this news was like pouring salt in the wound would understate the its impact considerably; how about pouring molten lava into the hole where somebody ripped your heart out? And then things got worse.
The skies over Los Angeles are uncharacteristically grey today, and the Pacific shimmers with an opalescent sheen. Although the weather is gloomy, the ocean is calm; waves lap gently at the shoreline, making a soft shushing sound that Aniston has found very soothing lately.
"That's quite a backyard, in my opinion," she says as we stand on her deck, watching the hypnotic rhythm of the waves. "Just being able to go to the water's edge and scream - "
She grins. "Not too loudly. You don't want people to think that you're crazy. But it can be very cathartic."
She is wearing a white tank top and white drawstring linen pants, with a vivid lavender cashmere cardiwrap around her to ward off the unseasonable chill. Formidably toned by yoga, her body is in superb shape, but despite her tanned skin and megawatt smile she looks fragile and wan.
She remains resolutely upbeat nonetheless, casting her current situation in the most positive light possible. "It's beautiful here; I love it," she says. "I've always wanted to have a little Malibu beach house, and it feels good. I'm enjoying simplifying things."
Although the bungalow was dark and depressing when she first saw it, a quickie makeover has transformed it into a cozy sanctuary that's far more representative of Aniston's taste than the show-place she and Pitt shared, where the décor seemed all hard edges and unforgiving materials. "Brad and I used to joke that every piece of furniture was either a museum piece or just uncomfortable," Aniston says. "He definitely had his sense of style, and I definitely have my sense of style, and sometimes they clashed. I wasn't so much into modern."
I mention Nicole Kidman's quip after splitting up with Tom Cruise, when she asked what she looked forward to in her new life without the diminutive husband who had abruptly ended their marriage. "Wearing high heels again," Kidman retorted.
So I ask Aniston - who filed for divorce May 25 and expects it to become final this fall - what she's enjoying about being on her own. "I can have a comfortable couch again," she says with a wry smile.
In the tabloids and celebrity gossip magazines, the soap-opera version of her life continues to hurtle along like a runway express train, rushing Aniston through major life stages with ludicrous speed: Jen Is Devastated! Jen Is Furious! Jen Gets Revenge! Jen Has a New Man! Jen Is Over Brad! Most of the stories are wrong. (No, Oprah didn't try to get Brad and Jen back together; no, Jen is not romantically involved with Vince Vaughn, her co-star in The Break Up, a comedy about a separating couple who continue to live together, which they shot in Chicago over the summer.)
Other reports are just idiotically simple- minded, breathlessly advancing a plot that bears little resemblance to the long, complex, painful experience of getting over a divorce. While the tabloids insist on dividing Aniston's emotions into neat, distinct chapters, the reality is that pain and denial and anger and resignation all blur together, sometimes at the same moment - and the lengthy process of mourning is nowhere near over.
"There are many stages of grief," she says. "It's sad, something coming to an end. It cracks you open, in a way - cracks you open to feeling. When you try to avoid the pain, it creates greater pain. I'm a human being, having a human experience in front of the world. I wish it weren't in front of the world. I try really hard to rise above it."
Aniston is struggling to find a deeper meaning in the debacle. "I have to think there's some reason I have called this into my life," she says. "I have to believe that - otherwise it's just cruel."
Her friends are filled with admiration for the way she's handled the whole mess. "This woman is basically having a root canal without anesthesia, but she's really trying not to numb the pain or to shove it under the rug," says Hahn. "She's grown so much, and she continues to grow on a daily basis, because every time you think, 'Well, I've dealt with this,' there's another hurdle to get over. It's a bit Job-like at the moment."
Aniston's response has been to retreat into her cocoon, "in an effort to take care of myself and my heart," she says. "I feel like I'm nestling. I love being home. I have friends that come over. My girlfriends I've had for 20 years. When things happen, the tribe gathers around and lifts you up. I've had lonely moments, sure, but I'm also enjoying being alone. There's no question it takes getting used to; I'm a partnership person, and if something happens you instinct is to share it - but you're no longer part of a couple. I definitely miss that. It's sort of like Bambi - like you're trying to learn how to walk. You're a little awkward; you stumble a little bit. The things you would do with your partner, you don't do. It's uncharted territory, but I think it's good for me to be a solo person right now. You're forced to re-discover yourself and take it to another level. If you can find a way to see the glass half full, these are the moments you earn the most. I've had to re-introduce myself to myself in a way that's different."
She doesn't downplay the difficulties. "Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely. But I'm also doing really well," she says. "I've got an unbelievable support team, and I'm a tough cookie... I believe in therapy; I think it's an incredible tool to educate the self on the self. I feel very strong. I'm really proud of how I conducted myself."
A crucial part of Aniston's strategy has been to ignore the putrid strew of rumor, speculation, and outright falsehood in the tabloid media. "It's been very important to me not to read anything, not to see anything," she says. "It's been my saving grace. That stuff is just toxic for me right now. I probably avoided a lot of suffering by not engaging in it, not reading, not watching."
She gestures toward Norman, who has roused himself for a moment to check on his mistress's whereabouts. "It's like those dog cones," she says, encircling her neck as if putting on one of the plastic cones prescribed by vets to prevent dogs from scratching their ears. "I have my imaginary dog cone on, so I don't see anything. It just allows for a much more peaceful life."
Nevertheless, as Pitt publicly flaunted the instant family he created with Jolie, the tableaux of their newfound togetherness were humiliating. "I would be a robot if I said I didn't feel moments of anger, of hurt, of embarrassment," Aniston acknowledges.
But she tries to keep the lurid details to herself. "She is grieving, but she's taken the high road," says Bendewald. "She's mourning the death of a marriage, and she's done it very privately. She can have her moments of rage, but she doesn't want to out him. She doesn't want to make him the villain and her the victim."
Indeed, Aniston vehemently rejects the interpretation that she was left for another woman. "I don't feel like a victim," she says. "I've worked with this therapist for a long time, and her major focus is that you get one day of being a victim - and that's it. Then we take responsibility for our own input. To live in a victim place is pointing a finger at someone else, as if you have no control. Relationships are two people; everyone is accountable. A lot goes into a relationship coming together, and a lot goes into a relationship falling apart. She'd say, 'Even if it's 98 percent the other person's fault, it's 2 percent yours, and that's what we're going to focus on.' You can only clean up your side of the street."
These days, one index of recovery is the fact that Aniston's sardonic humor is resurfacing. When I tell her that my 13-year-old son is a big fan of hers, she doesn't miss a beat. "Is he single?" she asks, deadpan.
She'll toss off a crack about Pitt's startling transformation into a punky bleached blond. "Billy Idol called - he wants his look back," she murmurs with a sly smile.
By now she can even talk about those gut-wrenching photos of Jolie and Pitt in Kenya with mordant resignation rather than tears. "I can't say it was one of the highlights of my year," she says. "Who would deal with that and say, 'Isn't that sweet! That looks like fun!'? But shit happens. You joke and say, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.'"
She sighs. "I feel like I've earned a superpower shield," she says. Then, afraid of sounding grandiose, she adds, "I'm not comparing my suffering to other people's suffering. Everybody has their own."
Aniston's friends were particularly horrified by W magazine's 60-page photo spread featuring Pitt and Jolie as an early 1960s-style married couple with a brood of miniature blond Brads. "you want to shake the shit out of him and say, 'Your timing sucks!'" says one. "He's made some choices that have been tremendously insensitive."
The W feature, which was entitled "Domestic Bliss," couldn't be blamed on the paparazzi; not only did Pitt conceptualise it, but he retained the international rights, so he actually profited from it. Aniston's eyes widen in surprise when I mention that last fact, and she grimaces. "I didn't know that," she says. But she refuses to indulge herself I an angry reaction. "Is it odd timing? Yeah. But it's not my life," she says. "He makes his choices. He can do - whatever. We're divorced, and you can see why."
She shakes her head in exasperation. "I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it," she adds. "Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh - I can see that was inconsiderate.' But I know Brad. Brad would say, 'That's art!'"
She rolls her eyes, pretending to screw something into her forehead. "There's a sensitivity chip that's missing," she says.
Aniston's friends are amazed at her willingness to give Pitt the benefit of the doubt, but they basically agree with her assessment. "I don't think he was trying to hurt Jen," says Courteney Cox, Aniston's dear friend and former co-star on Friends. "I don't think that Brad is malicious, or a liar. The W thing was his idea, but I don't think he thought that one through, about what it would look like to anyone else."
Although Aniston remains determined not to bash out, she sometimes questions her own restraint. "Why am I protecting him?" she exclaimed to one friend, only to continue with what she sees as the signified course of action.
"I'm not interested in taking public potshots," she explains. "It's not my concern anymore. What happened to him after the separation - it's his life now. I've made a conscious effort not to add to the toxicity of this situation. I haven't retaliated. I don't want to be a part of it. I don't have a halo that I'm polishing here; everyone has their personal thoughts. But I would much rather everyone move on. I am not defined by this relationship. I am not defined by the part they're making me play in the triangle. It's maddening to me. But I had a mom who was angry about her divorce, and made shots, and I don't want to play that out. If people are frustrated that I don't want to do that, I'm sorry. I'm figuring this out as I go along. This is my first time at this particular picnic."
As befits a storybook tale, the Pitts' marriage was the first for both of them, and some of Aniston's fondest memories are from the time they shared before the world discovered their romance. "We had so much fun falling in love," she says wistfully. "It was so private; we kept it to ourselves for so long. It was something we were really proud of."
But after the relationship became public, it was always difficult to reconcile their mythic image with the quotidian reality of their private life, which was more likely to involve watching television, ordering takeout, and having close friends over than swanning around on red carpets.
"We were put on a pedestal, but we were just a couple like anybody else," Aniston says. "When we were home, we'd watch the shows we loved, and one time there was this program called It's Good to Be Brad and Jen. It was all about us going to Scotland and Greece and having our matching S.U.V.'s, and it wasn't my life - I'd never even been to some of these places, but even I got sucked in. We're sitting there saying, 'Yeah, boy, it sure must be good to be Brad and Jen!' So is it our responsibility to demystify this, to say, 'This is not what it's like - it's not that fabulous, not that great'? There's no doubt our life is fortunate, but..."
But even golden couples struggle with the formidable challenges of marriage. "It's like the ebb and flow of every relationship," Aniston says, "It's hard; it gets easy; it gets fun again. What's hard to sustain is some ideal that it's perfect. That's ridiculous. What's fantastic about marriage is getting through those ebbs and flows with the same person, and looking across the room and saying, 'I'm still here. And I still love you.' You re-meet, reconnect. You have marriages within marriages within marriages. That's what I love about marriage. That's what I want in marriage. It's unfortunate, but we live in a very disposable society. Those moments where it looks like 'Uh-oh, this isn't working!' -those are the most important, transformative moments. Most couples draw up divorce papers when they're missing out on an amazing moment of deepening and enlightenment and connection."
She sighs heavily and turns away to light a Merit cigarette. "That's not Brad's view of it," she says, glum again. "We believe in different things, I guess. You can't force a relationship, even if it's your view of how you would like it to be conducted. Obviously two people leave a relationship because there's a different thought pattern happening. My goal is to try and achieve a very deep, committed relationship. That's what I'm interested in, but it's someone's prerogative to be or not to be in or out of a relationship."
"I think Jen wanted to work it out, and I don't think he wanted to work it out," Andrea Bendewald observes. "I don't think he knew what he wanted."
Nevertheless, Aniston has only kind words about her marriage. "I still feel so lucky to have experienced it. I wouldn't know what I know now if I hadn't been married to Brad," she says. "I love Brad; I really love him. I will love him for the rest of my life. He's a fantastic man. I don't regret any of it, and I'm not going to beat myself up about it. We spent seven very intense years together; we taught each other a lot - about healing, and about fun. We helped each other through a lot, and I really value that. It was a beautiful, complicated relationship. The sad thing, for me, is the way it's been reduced to a Hollywood cliché - or maybe it's just a human cliché. I have a lot of compassion for everyone going through this."
As for what went wrong, Aniston rejects any simplistic explanation. "It's just complicated," she says. "Relationships are complicated, whether they're friendships or business relationships or parent relationships. I don't think anybody in a marriage gets to a point where they feel like 'We've got it!' You're two people continually evolving, and there will be times when those changes clash. There are all these levels of growth - and when you stop growing together, that's when the problems happen."
Friends say that it was always difficult for Aniston and Pitt to maintain the intimacy they craved while juggling their demanding work schedules, which often required long separations. Those tensions notwithstanding, Aniston believed her marriage was the real thing. "We both did," she says.
So what happened? "I think - it changed," she says haltingly. "We both changed."
She sighs again. "You do the best you can, and I think we did. We did the best we could."
Both of them? She looks me straight in the eye. "Both parties," she says.
But nagging questions remain about Pitt's conduct during the months leading up to their separation. "She was committed to the marriage," says Bendewald. "He wanted to figure out who he was and what he wanted, but he seemed to want to do it without being married. She wanted him to figure out what he wanted and stay married. He didn't think he could do that, so at that point she was like, 'O.K., go figure it out.'"
Throughout that period, Pitt insisted that his relationship was not the cause of his marital discontent, but his actions since the separation have suggested otherwise.
"I just don't know what happened," Aniston admits. "There's a lot I don't understand, a lot I don't know, and probably never will know, really. So I choose to take with me as much integrity and dignity and respect for what that relationship was as I can. I feel as I'm trying to scrounge around and pick up the pieces in the midst o this media-circus."
Does she buy Brad's claim that he didn't cheat on her before they were separated? "I choose to believe my husband," Aniston says. "At this point, I wouldn't be surprised by anything but I would much rather choose to believe him."
Their friends are still trying to parse what happened with Jolie. "I don't think he started an affair physically, but I think he was attracted to her," says Courteney Cox, who vacationed with her husband, David Arquette, and the Pitts on Anguilla just before they announced their separation. "There was a connection, and he was honest about that with Jen. Most of the time, when people are attracted to other people, they don't tell. At least he was honest about it. It was an attraction he fought for a period of time."
He may have been fighting it, but Pitt virtually checked out of his marriage as soon as he started working with Jolie, according to Aniston's intimates. "He was gone," says one.
Aniston met Jolie only once, when she took a passing opportunity to say hello. "It was on the lot of Friends - I pulled over and introduced myself," Aniston recalls. "I said, 'Brad is so excited about working with you. I hope you guys have a really good time."
But he soon became emotionally unavailable for his wife, at a time when she needed him desperately. Pitt's withdrawal coincided with the end of Friends, which Aniston experienced as a huge loss. "That was really painful. It was a family, and I don't do great with families splitting up," says Aniston, who was deeply wounded by her parents' bitter divorce, which happened when she was 9.
"It was hard to have such a wonderful constant in your life, a place to go every day, and then all of the sudden it's not there."
When she reached out for her husband's support, she didn't get it. "He just wasn't there for me," she says.
To the amazement of Aniston's friends, Pitt didn't even show up for the final taping of Friends.
"He was working," she says, still defending him, even though movie stars have been known to request changes in a shooting schedule to accommodate events that are important to them.
Although she isn't talking to Pitt these days, Aniston remains in regular contact with his mother, whom she loves dearly, and she doesn't rule out a better relationship with Pitt in the future. "I really do hope that someday we can be friends again," she says.
She certainly doesn't regret her four-and-a-half-year marriage - not even the million-dollar wedding with 50,000 flowers, a 40-member gospel choir, a Greek bouzouki band, and fireworks exploding over the Pacific. ("It was fantastic!" she says.) But she does have other regrets.
"There's a lot I would probably do differently," she says. "I'd take more vacations - getting away from work, enjoying each other in different environments. But there was always something preventing it; either he was working, or I was."
She made more profound mistakes as well. "I wouldn't give over so much of myself, which I did at times," she admits. "It was that thing about being a nurturer; I love taking care of people, and I definitely put his needs before mine sometimes. It's seamless; somewhere along the way, you sort of lose yourself. You just don't know when it happens. It's such an insidious thing, you don't really see where it started - and where you ended. There's no one to blame but yourself. I've always been that way in relationships, even with my mom. It's not the healthiest. I feel like I've broken the pattern now. I'll never let myself down like that again. I feel like my sense of self is being strengthened because of it."
Aniston's unhappy family history colored her experience of marriage from the outset. "I come from a fighting family, and I had a tough time arguing," she says. "Fighting scared me. I wouldn't speak up for myself. That's something I've learned. I will always speak my mind."
In recent months, the process of healing from the breakup with Brad has also created a new openness to healing relations with her mother. Their estrangement began nearly a decade ago, when Nancy Aniston gossiped about Jennifer on a television show, and worsened when she tried to cash in on Jennifer's fame by writing an appalling book called 'From Mother and Daughter to Friends'. Jennifer severed all contact, but she is now re-assessing their relationship.
"We've exchanged messages," she says. "Our doors are open. We're taking baby steps. It's a good thing."
Although Aniston incurred criticism for distancing herself from her mother, who did not attend her wedding, she offers no apologies. "I feel pretty good about the choices I've made. The choice of not speaking to Mom for a while - that's ours. Nobody else has to understand it. The same thing with Brad and myself," she says. "I wouldn't change my childhood, I wouldn't change my heartaches, I wouldn't change my successes. I wouldn't change any of it, because I really love who I am, and am continuing to become.
"Besides, it's all in the past," she adds. "This doesn't kill you. You move on. You can't let the devastation of a divorce take over and win - let it make you this bitter, closed-off, angry, sceptical person. Then you're just falling victim to it. You don't want to shut your heart down. You don't want to feel that when a marriage ends, your life is over. You can survive anything. Compared to what other people are surviving out there in the world, this is not so bad, in the grand scheme of things. Human endurance is unbelievable. Think of mothers of soldiers have to rise above! Everything's relative."
She looks down at her firm, fit body. "Nothing's broke," she says.
Catching the quizzical look on my face, she concedes. "Maybe a little bruised."
A few weeks later, on a stiflingly hot day in Chicago, Aniston and I are sitting in her hotel suite looking out on Late Michigan, which is studded with little white boats. I've just told her about the gossip magazine that says she's registered here as "Mrs. Smith". The report claims Aniston is taking perverse pleasure in making hotel staffers address her as Mrs. Smith, even though they know perfectly well who she is.
The only problem with this amusing tidbit is that it's not true. "I wish I'd thought of it," says Aniston, who is registered under an entirely different, although equally humorous, name.
Despite her vow of abstinence, she succumbed to a celebrity magazine the other evening - and immediately regretted it. "I feel like I've fallen off the wagon," she moans. Unfortunately, the first publication she picked up featured an insult from Kimberly Stewart, Rod's party-girl daughter. "She said I'm homely," Aniston says. "It literally ruined my night. I got my feelings very hurt, actually. That was my instant Karma."
She has always fretted about her appearance, although that is often hard for others to believe. Posing for her Vanity Fair cover shoot, Aniston was equally fetching in French-dance-hall-girl black stockings and in a half-open oversize shirt that evoked every man's favorite just-rolled-out-of-bed look. With her tousled hair, cobalt-blue eyes, and dazzling smile, she seemed the ultimate adorable sexpot. Far from pining away in seclusion, she appeared to be sending a far more spirited message like "Eat your heart out, Brad!"
But Aniston has never been able to reconcile the glamorous Jen on page or screen with the self-doubting woman she sees in the mirror, and the current tabloid coverage has exacerbated that gap. "It's literally two different people - the real me, and the 'Jen' they write about. 'fighting back', 'getting revenge' everything I couldn't be farther from wanting to do," she says. "So I'm back on the wagon."
When she arrived in Chicago to film 'The Break-Up', the gossip media, frantic for a new development, immediately plunged her into a torrid romance with her co-star, Vince Vaughn. This affair apparently does not exist.
"I adore Vince Vaughn, but I'm not going out with Vince Vaughn," she says. "I barely know the guy. We've exchanged a wine-and-cheese basket for the start of the movie, and we've gone out to dinner with the director and other people. We've got to get to know each other."
But is Aniston seeing him - or anyone else? "Nobody," she says firmly. "I like a lot of people but I am sooo not 'in like' with anybody. I am really enjoying being by myself. I'm excited that I know there's somebody out there for me, but I am absolutely in no rush. This is all very new, very fresh. This was a seven-year relationship that was very dear, very complicated, very special. I need to honor it."
Aside from her initial flurry of tears, Aniston remains calm and thoughtful through hours of conversation with me over the course of several weeks. But there is one final topic to be addressed, and it's the most hurtful of all. The rumor that Jolie is pregnant with Pitt's child has swept around the world; some reports even have her finishing her first trimester.
When I ask Aniston about that, she looks as if I've stabbed her in the heart. Her eyes well up and spill over. Several long minutes go by as the tears keep rolling down her cheeks; she bites her lip, seemingly unable to speak. Finally she shakes her head; this subject is simply too excruciating to discuss.
"My worst fear is that Jen will have to face them having a baby together soon, because that would be beyond beyond painful," says Kristin Hahn.
Fortunately, there are many other things to keep Aniston occupied these days. Although she took some time off after Friends ended, she has since shot several movies, and the coming months will bring a series of premieres. First up is Derailed, a thriller starring Aniston and Clive Owen as two married strangers who meet on a train and arrange a hotel room tryst - only to have an armed man burst in, rape the woman, and beat the man and blackmail him, setting off a horrific chain of events. The film will make adultery look about as appealing as Fatal Attraction did, according to Aniston. "It will be one of those movies you leave and say, 'The affair thing? Maybe not!'"
Then there's Rumor Has it, whose plot revolves around a young reporter's conviction that The Graduate was based on her family, and that she herself is adopted. Mark Ruffalo plays her fiancé, and Shirley MacLaine is the Mrs. Robinson character, with Kevin Costner as the Benjamin Braddock who may or may not be Aniston's father.
Yet another upcoming film is Friends with Money, in which Aniston portrays a pothead maid whose friends - played by Catherine Keener, Joan Cusack, and Frances McDormand - are all married and far more successful in life.
Aniston is also re-evaluating her future role at Plan B, the production company she formed with Pitt and Brad Grey, who has since become chairman of Paramount. Pitt is now assuming the lead role at Plan B, but Aniston says she will still produce movies through the company.
"I'm excited about what the future holds," she says. "I'm not a fortune-teller; I have no idea how it will play out. People says, 'What are you going to do?' I don't know. I kind of love that not knowing."
She is trying to outgrow some youthful illusions. Prince Charming let her down, and Aniston no longer believes in one true love. "I think there are many people, many soul mates," she says.
But she still has faith in the redeeming power of love itself. "It's out there," she says. "It will happen. There's an amazing man that's wandering the streets right now who's the father of my children. In five years, I would hope to be married and have a kid. I still believe in marriage 100 percent. When I hear people say that they would never do it again, it's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Why would you ever close your heart down?"
She gives me a sheepish smile. "Maybe it's a fairy tale, but I believe in happily ever after."
Bottom line...he used one woman and betrayed the other. That's the measure of a man? They deserve each other.
Jen got the shaft. While she may be bitchy, he cheated on her (mentally). Brad says he had to "stifle his feelings" when he made that movie. Liar. Angelina is a homewrecker, and Brad fell into her web. Good luck on that one, long term, Brad. You had to hurt someone to get what you wanted. Hmmmmm.
It's obvoius he has a guilty conscious about how he treated Jen. And to those of you who say let it go talk to Brad. How can we let it go if he can't let it go.
If it was only about Brad trying to save his face than why he says it after so many years, when he already had whole time on earth to lose it? I don't think so! I believe him!
This whole comments part is a little crazy! It's cool getting to see photos of celebs and to see what they buy or have but when you start reading things on here it seems strange, well it must be strange for the celebs themselves. I wonder if they ever read these sites and see what people are calling them and stuff when no one knows them.

I feel pity for Brad to allow AJ to use him, well as for the kids, a part from Shiloh she is practically imposing the the rest on him. The are a lot of things that one does and cant easily be erased, for example, the life of Angelina Jolie Voight.
BRAD IS A LIAR, EVERYONE IN OUR INDUSTRY CAN'T STAND HIM. HE'S ACTUALLY QUITE DUMB. ANGELINA IS A JOKE AMONGST HER PERS, AND TO BE REAL HONEST WE'RE SICK OF THE 3 OF THEM, JEN INCLUDED.
If I were Brad, I wouldn't give Jen a second thought. She seems like such a WHINY 'cling-on'. She clearly has issues being by herself as much time as she HASN'T spent alone to process her divorce (first Vince, then model guy, now back to Courtney & David). You can't lose something that you never had to begin with. How could Brad NOT be attracted to AJ, as beautiful, smart, honest, & talented as she is. Crazy? Maybe, maybe not, but who isn't to some degree? Mistakes? We've ALL made them! Parenthood is very rewarding, & I'm sure they are VERY happy in spite of what we read. Their kids & future kids are very fortunate to have the experiences yet to come with 2 of the world's most compassionate people. Jen needs to spare us all & quit acting then MOVE ON. She and Owen Wilson should hook up. LMFAO!!!
Jolie is a homewrecker! Those kind of women don't care if one is taken! It's all about her! Brad is a pig! He fell under her spell! I can't stand them both! i use to like Brad..but not after what he did to Jen! I really hope Jen finds a good man to settle down with and has a family with. She deserves it!
jen sucks
jen sucks
hate jen
jen the idiot
jen the idiot
jen sucks, brad is very stupid at times
I strongly dislike Angelina and actually want her to be anorexic!!! I can't wait for the day her fragile body breaks and her organs start shutting down!! That'd be the day I roll on the floor laughing!!! Hahahhahahaha!!
i think he did her wrong and she handled it with grace and dignity. i dislike angelina and i don't understand how her and brad can feel good about themselves.

Angie is weak both emotionally & mentally. Her goodwill is nothing more than a smoking mirror. You can see it in her face. Save yourself, stay home and stop being so selfish. You took on the responsibility of these orphans, raise them at home. Stop exploiting them for a cause. And, for godsake come out of denaial and please admit your mistakes. The way you handle your relationships is less than virtuouse and show your children what being a human is really all about. Realizing your mistakes, taking responsibility for them and growing from it. Your goodwill is useless when your own will is weak and dishonest.
and BTW....most only tune in to you because you and your husband are nice to look at (which is a pretty shallow realization). To be honest, I dont recall not one name of any of the causes you support. I'm sure that is a common truth.
Good for Brad-he dumped the dead weight JA and moved on to a real movie star with a real brain who actually cares about what's going on in the world and not what's happening at Nobu and where Courtney Cox is going next on vacation.
BOTH Brad and Angelina never take responsibity for anything that makes them look bad in the public's eye...Angelina blaming her "people" when the hoopla came out about the meida not being able to ask her certain questions while she was promoting "A Mighty Heart".
Both are UGLY people to me. Jen at least has friends. Angelina said "sometimes I just curl up in a ball and cry because it's too overwhelming"...then stop adopting...normal people know how to pace themselves.

Boy, there are a lot of miserable people in this world.
Yourself included...
JEN IS A B-I-T-C-H!!!
Brad wanted a family, he was able to get that from Angelina. I'll never forget that Diane Sawyer interview when he said he was aching, longing for a family and that he desperately wanted kids. I felt bad for him then. Perhaps he wasn't willing to wait for Jennifer to decide what she wanted anymore. I don't blame him for going for what he wants. He seems really happy with Angelina and the kids.
I think any one who loves Anglina is a Tramp to, yeah its true we should drop it, but you know, Anglina is one of those Whores that act like she is such a good person, bullshit shes paying to much attention to her job and she adopting these kids like there new hollywood gowns, now thats bullshit, now think about this every man she has been with there married or engaged, its like this hobby of hers get with anyone who married or engaged, billy bob he was set to marry but he cheated on his wife to be with anglina, and then there was, her another guy he was maddired and she slept with during the taping of cheaters, the movie, and there was her kissing her brother, and that japanese woman who said her self she and anglina had anffair with one another, come on there is so much wrong with this lad and you know i can give a shit everyone knows shes a whore the biggest one there is and she will remain a whore, and you know im not surprised shes just like her father, like skank like slut, daddys little girl, but you know i feel sorry for there real kids and there fake kids, they got parents with no values, at all. thats all i got to say, brad pitt and anglina s.o.b. go F..k your self. thank you .
I can not stand Brad,never could or that skank he is married to.I have always been a fan of Janiston.She isn't the one throwing the "pity party" everyone else is.She seems to have moved on,other people are the ones that keep bringing it back up.I don't care who is better for whom the bottom line is he cheated,famous actor or not.He could have at the very least ended it with Jennifer BEFORE he slept with that nasty ho he now calls his wife.I personally think they make a good couple.Their both full of themselves,always look like they need to bathe,and their nuts.Watch out tho Mrs.Pitt once a cheater always a cheater.Carma's a bitch.
hi
Brad you had no right to do her that. It is people's emotions you are playing with. Don't worry. God has something wonderful in store for her!!!!! And we all know that Brad still loves her and she still loves him.
