Over the weekend, both People Mag andUs Weekly had interesting stories about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux house-hunting together in Beverly Hills. Remember, Justin is a New Yorker, and a hipster who I’m sure lives in the trendiest part of NYC (I have no idea). Aniston just bought a fancy place in New York too, plus she just sold her Beverly Hills, 1970s-style shag-pad. I think it’s kind of weird that they’re house-hunting in Beverly Hills, not because it signals that JustJen (Theroniston??) are really together FOR REAL, but because I thought Justin was the kind of hipster who could only live in a “cool” and “hip” neighborhood. Beverly Hills says “old money” and just “old”. This might be a bigger problem then you would think – because according to Justin’s friends, they fear he’s in the midst of some kind of midlife crisis.
Justin and Jen have only been dating two months but they’re already considering marriage and saying the “L” word — is this moving too fast?
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are full speed ahead! Us Weekly reports that Jen, 42, and Justin, 40 are “househunting” and Justin has been involved “every step of the way.”
The happy couple are reportedly looking for something “cozy” and “private” — sounds just like Jen!
Justin accompanied Jen to the London premiere of Horrible Bosses and they were spotted holding hands as they exited the after party. But that’s not the only sign that this couple is super serious: they wear matching name rings on their ring fingers and we even watched Justin tell Jen “I love you” while being immortalized with cement handprints at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Although Jen has never been happier, friends close to Justin reveal he’s having a “midlife crisis” and the speed of this relationship is unlike Justin.
[From Hollywood Life]
Let’s see… Justin turns 40 years old in a few weeks. Sidenote: Oooh, he’s a LEO! My mom’s a Leo. So is Pres. Clinton! Anyway, so he’s turning 40, a big milestone in anyone’s life. I can see how “midlife crisis” might come to mind considering he’s going bald and he just dumped his girlfriend of 14 years. But don’t dudes in the midst of a mid-life crisis tend to dump their significant others for someone younger? If he duped Heidi and went off with some 20-something chick, I would think he was having a mid-life moment, but he hooked up with a chick who is older than him! Or is Aniston the equivalent of a flashy sports car?
And it’s not just the relationship stuff either – Justin is also on a whole new career path now, joining CAA, playing the Hollywood game, trying on a whole new persona. Which makes me think “brain tumor” more than “mid-life crisis”. We’ll see how it all plays out. Fingers crossed for a date for the Oscars!

My hubbie’s a LEO, they move fast. I think that when people click, they click and don’t need to hold to whatever convention that society deems is appropriate.
Maybe only a famew..ring crisis?
When I look at his photo, the first adjective that comes to mind is “smarmy”.
I agree most guys having a midlife crisis tend to hook up with women a lot younger than they are — although the woman having a net worth of $115 million, compared to his paltry $4 million or $5 million, could be considered a mitigating factor.
I go with “Theroniston”. Has a nice ring to it.
😆
Maybe he realised that he’s hitting middle age, there’s nothing so sad as an aging hipster, and he wants to profit from his talent so he’s playing the Hollywood game? That Charlie’s Angels 2 cheque won’t last forever!
Or maybe they just really enjoy each other and it turns out that he’s not really anti-marriage, he was just anti-marriage with the other chick.
He’s a Leo and she’s an Aquarius. Is that a good combo? I love all these Astrology info (I find them curious and entertaining) but I don’t really understand them. So: is she a typical Aquarius? ‘Cause she irritates me slightly.
OMG He is a leo! I am a Leo! My birthday is in a few days too. Does that mean he was born in August like me? *Googles* LOL He is, Aug 10th. I think Justin is hawt as f*ck, balding or not. I genuinely like Justin and he has played some of my favorite characters. Jen I can’t say this enough…excellent job getting set up with this one.
Also Justin is about to experience an upswing in his career, I mean if dating Jen Aniston should get you anything, it should be an upswing in your career. I am not saying Justin is dating Jen to improve his already awesome career (Leos aren’t golddiggers or famewhores) but he should be very happy. I highly doubt he is having a mid life crisis.
Why does everyone assume it’s some kind of crisis that made him dump his girlfriend and go for Aniston? Maybe it’s because she’s beautiful, rich, and single? It’s not like she’s the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Or Paris Hilton.
Who is he? Is he famous in USA? Because here in Europe I doubt someone knows him. Looks like it’s the last train to Hollywood for him.
I think they’re both mid-life desperate; which is perfect if they want to move fast.
My bet is it won’t last. Hopefully I’m wrong.
He looks like Peter Brady.
I think he’s handsome, but puts on the cool, which is sort of weird for someone who’s 40.
Being with Jen is a big jump for him. There’s a lot more interest in who this guy is. Go to IMDB and he’s the first Justin that pops up when you type that name. I believe that their search engine would put the most searched person first.
As for Justin and his EX – relationships end and feelings change. He can’t be expected to stick it out with her forever if he doesn’t feel the same way anymore. This is why I don’t fault Brad for leaving. Brad wanted kids and Jen obviously didn’t, so he couldn’t be expected to stay in a relationship that was unsatisfying.
Hope that it works out for them. Curiously, JustJen does seem like a good match.
I am not sure I care what he is going through, but I wouldn’t mind his going through it with me.
He is the kind of attractive you want to look at for a long, long time.
I’m thinking it’s “finally growing up” more than “cracking up.” Having a girl to impress will inspire dudes to all sorts of impressive changes. Career focus, new house, new look. Sounds like he wants to keep her around and a little “maturing” was in order…..
I like JustJen. 🙂
Good luck to them, hope it all works out.
Well when there is chemistry things just seem right. Especially if the sex is really great that and the fact that they both want to get settled and have a family. I hope their dreams come true.
Maybe his girlfriend made him sleep on the couch, and JA told him she’d BE the couch for him, lol.
Brain tumor in the famewhore category. I find them both simply gross.
what Katalina said.
“…playing the Hollywood game” Well, Mr. Game Player needs to eat a whole buncha words. I thought he was above all the celebrity trappings.
“only been dating two months”…riiiiight, yeah we all totally believe that.
And I dont know if mid-life crisis men always go for some one younger. I think it’s more of a looking for someone they see as “better” in some way to them. And by “better” I mean some one who strokes their mid-life crisis ego.
I personally think this totally original “hipster” who is to genuine to ever play to the establishment, cause he’s true to his craft, has gotten tired of playing a side note. I think he saw a way to the “in” and decided this was his chance.
I wonder if he will get all Mr. Movie Star on everyone, or if he will slowly begin to hate the fraud/sell-out he’s going to become…
this is gonna be interesting to see how he evolves. Cause one way or another, he will.
“Your greatest asset as an actor is your anomity”.If he hasn’t had a mid-life crisis yet,he’s definitely asking for one.
@ Love Angelina – I always like your comments and now I get it – we are both Chicago Leos! Leos 4ever!!!
I think he is hot. sex.
Yup, hotsex.
@love angelina, um, class…either you have it or you don’t.
“Theroniston” makes it seem like she’s dating Charlize Theron.
@RocketMerry I think she’s actually a Pieces not as good of a combo.
I am a LEO and I am one that cant hurt anothers feelings when its over. I have stayed in relationships way past expiration date. Just because a relationship has been “going” on for 14 years doesnt mean it is wonderful. People get in a rut and stay. I was married for 7 and the last 3 years we co existed. Anyway, I am a LEO and when I do fall in love I do move fast. SO I say enjoy it cause life is too short to be in a dead end relationship and if you can have some passion and happiness take it. Ideally, it would be not hurt anyone else, but sometimes that happens. Things end so better things can come along. My ex was an Aquarius and he drove me crazy. Scatterbrained, hence, he was an air sign, and I was fire. But when times were good, they were wonderful, when bad, they were so so. They could compliment each other. But his ego is going to need alot of stroking. LEO Men can be hard to handle but hot as hell. Personally, I think he is hot and has the edge I like in men. I wish them well.
Or it could be that they just genuinely care for each other.
I’m a Leo too!
They bore me already.
I hope she’s happy, that’s all. She’s had it rough for the past couple of years in the romance department… maybe this one is for reals…They look good together.
lol it figures Chicago Leos…
What I find more interesting for gossip is that his 40th birthday is coming up in two weeks! What will Anniston do to help him celebrate this milstone? No doubt we will be hearing all the detials… from the gifts to the garb! Can’t wait. 🙂
EDIT: I’m a Leo too!…but on a Virgo cusp, so yeah, I’m kinda a mess of contradictions!
I don’t know who he is. I had to look him up on IMDB. He’s got a long list of stuff that he’s done but I still don’t recognize him.
Oh well.
@Miss Marie Whats wrong with Chicago Leos? Also what about my comment made you question my classyiness or lack there of? Was it the “Justin is hawt as f*ck” comment? I was gonna say Justin is very handsome but looking at that top pic, “hawt as f*ck” felt right.
We freaking rock, right, @peacelovekitty? I think we rock. Leos from Chicago, that outta be a Facebook fan page.
I love him, I can’t say this enough. Jen has done well with this one. I don’t think it is a mid life crisis. I think Jen has finally met brains and badass. He doesn’t seem like he cares much what people think. Jen has a hit movie out and a new gorgeous boyfriend. They seem like they genuinely have chemistry. Gosh I can’t get enough of them.
Did I see a gigantic gold ring on his hand? Ouch?! That’s seriously gross.
I could try to ignore the gold watch (I hate gold rolex on men, they are so 80s), the disgusting tie and his greasy look, but really that ring is beyond gross.
After perusing the above pix I had what I consider to be the definitive reason Anniston was attracted to Theroux… Just picture ANY of his pix with blondish- light brown hair…NOW who does he remind you of?? (hint= BP)
Oh and his ex, if a man has not married you after forteen years, I guess it is time for you two to try something else. That said, I think being in a stable relationship for fourteen years means he is a stable kind of guy.
I see, he can’t just be in love with Aniston, it has to be because he is having a mid life crisis!
Good grief!
I think this whole quickie relationship is strange – he was in a 14 year live in relationship and now he is convinced that he has found LOVE – what was the 14 year girl – a potted plant?
And I agree about the Bev Hills move! Like – hugh? I thought him and Ms. Aniston (home-wrecker!) were hot to trot to get to NY – just how many houses do they have between them – they couldnt try to live in one of these before jumping into the “I must have a new house” mindset?
Like I said – strange. I dont buy the whole thing and think it is going to go up in smoke before 2011 is out.
And my impression of Ms. Aniston (home-wrecker) has totally been reversed.
@ms vjm
please don’t say that.. the Brad bashing will start.
I think he is attractive. Not OMG attractive. I wish someone could get a close up of the ring. I saw an interview he did a long time ago on youtube and it looks like the same ring. So if it is he had it for a while. Which means he gave one to her or she copied. They are both kind of showcasing it so it must have some kind of meaning.
anyway I don’t think the gossip world is getting much play from this pairing. The rag don’t want to highlight it. They are digging back to the 6+ year old Bennifer crap.
regardless of the chatter on gossip sites, it seems as if the public at large is not that interested in this relationship.
So maybe it will last.
And I agree with someone who said it above – that gold ring is gross/tacky!
Is it just me or is there something smarmy about him?
Oh lord, the only way JA can get a man is if he has a brain tumour? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Yep, he’s having a midlife crisis.
He’s not in love with Jennifer Aniston — he’s in love with the lifestyle she offers, and telling himself he loves her helps him justify his betrayal of Heidi and the values he’s held dear all his life.
Two decades in Hollywood with little fame or money to show for it. 14 years with a woman he took for granted, because she was always there for him. (Justin was probably one of the few people in Hollywood that didn’t have herpes, but I’m sure that’s changed.)
Justin used to talk about people selling out and how he’d never do it, but he’s done just that.
I’m sure he was flattered when Jennifer Aniston started pursuing him. So flattered that he put aside his morals and self-respect, and went for it — the affair, socializing with A-listers, joining CAA, getting treated like a hotshot for the first time ever.
It’s going to be a rude awakening for him when he realizes the true value of everything he’s given up.
@cheyanne- jenni-ter, petterfir, pennifer, ring dong and gal pal.
Justifer? Justennifer?
@ Love Angelina – That’s right! I read the post from Miss Marie then your post again – all I can say is: someone is JEALOUS!! Happy early Birthday – 8/2 here and I’ll be in Vegas celebrating! **Figures** lol!!
I find it interesting people think two 40 somethings are moving too fast and yet two 20 somethings i.e.Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford getting engaged after 5 months is sweet. You know yourself and needs much better at 40.
Either this relationship will fizzle around the holidays (and we won’t know until next year) or will last 2.5 years.
How about jen-x?
@Violet – great analysis! Couldn’t agree with you more.
@Peacelovekitty Happy early Birthday to you too and you won’t believe this but I am 8/3, lol and Martha Stewart’s bday is the same day, Hah, I just love Martha Stewart so I get a kick out of that. Your so lucky you get to go to Vegas for your Bday. I am totally jealous. Have lots of fun and have some for me too.
Of course he’s moving along at warp speed. He’s clicked with his meal ticket! Who is this guy???? What did he do before? Cha Ching!
Jen and Justin seem to be happy and in love. Why not wish them well and move on? Why try at all cost to come up with far-fetched scenarios why he is with her? Is their happiness directly affecting your life? If so, then you might want to step away from the computer and re-examine your priorities…Just saying…
I think all the mid life comments come from those who are young.
From someone who is not that young, let me tell you – what you want changes. It changes when love enters the equation and it changes as you mature. I wouldn’t want anyone to hold me to the things I said before I found love or to the things I thought I wanted before I grew up.
I have made this comment before but I will do it again: so many of the JP fans are so very rigid in their thinking and judgments. Good luck on carrying that with you through life, because, yes, life is short, but as my mom always said, it’s not that short.
@Anonymous #56
oh.. you mean the rigid thinking and judgments the Aniston fans have made regarding Angelina. Do you mean bringing up things that she did and said in her late teens and early twenties. Things that happened over 15+ years ago.
this..
It changes when love enters the equation and it changes as you mature. I wouldn’t want anyone to hold me to the things I said before I found love or to the things I thought I wanted before I grew up.
exactly almost word for word of what Angelina has said. SHE GREW UP.
I think there is a lot of rigid thinking going on and it is not all from the JP fans.
I actually liked the beginning of your comment and even agreed with it.. but as always you turn it into a team thing. SAD that it had to be that.
**************
now back to the topic of the thread..
Justin Theroux might be having a mid-life crisis, thus Jennifer Aniston?”
no mention of Angie and Brad..
@Trace – Thanks!
@Ellie – That’s pretty much it in a nutshell, LOL.
@Lolita – His girlfriend of 14 years just moved out last month, so the most “far-fetched scenario” is that he’s already fallen in love with someone else.
@Anonymous – I’m GenX, so I’m not actually that young. The reason the concept of a midlife crisis is a cliche is because it’s so commonplace. If you find yourself acting rashly these days or making sweeping changes, you yourself might very well be going through a midlife crisis of your own. For your sake as well as your loved ones, I just hope it’s nothing like Justin’s scorched earth approach.
Here come the caps.
So why hold Justin to things he said in his youth? Why not then say Angie betrayed her lifelong ideals by no longer wearing her lover’s blood in a vial around her neck?
It is the JP fans that constantly cry hypocrisy but they never manage to sniff out their own.
Hey, what Brad wanted changed. And that is hunky dory with JP fans, in fact, it is key to their manifesto. So why the uproar if Justin’s wants changed?
I agree w/Kaiser. This was the guy talking about being a hardcore actor who cherished his anonymity, and insinuated that actors who are in People magazine (he named Tom Hanks) are sell-outs. Now, he’s dating the woman whose rep has People magazine and US Weekly on speed-dial, talking about her dog dying, her tattoo for her dog, her house-hunting with her boyfriend, etc.? The woman who shows the inside of her bedroom to magazines, and poses topless to sell bottled water, perfume, and her movies? WTF? Someone sold out hard. But, he still kept the “hipster” skinny jeans and leather jacket. 🙂
My guess is that they are both getting more out of this relationship. This guy instantly signed with her company, CAA. He also raised his profile by 1000%. What does Jen get? A total bad-girl, image changeover by dating a guy who was still living with his longtime girlfriend. Hey, it didn’t hurt Julia Roberts. Plus, Aniston may want to star in this guy’s movies. How much you want to bet he’s writing something for her and she’s financing the project? The one consistent thing in Aniston’s life is that she loves to be famous and she loves to work. She does everything in her power to hustle, hustle, hustle–get more fame and more money. I’m sure this guy will facilitate that in some way.
@Anonymous
Why do you keep bringing Brad and Angelina into the conversation? Drawing parallels between Angelina’s behavior in her 20s and Justin’s actions at 40 makes no sense.
The fact is that Justin has been behaving in a radically different fashion these past few months, abandoning values he’s held his entire life. That’s the very definition of a midlife crisis for someone his age.
I totally agree with @John Wayne Lives and @Violet. I think they are going to “make this work”, whatever the cost, unless eventualy he just cannot survive the sell-out. But, as far as living in B Hills, if they live in CA, JA won’t have to worry about him accidentally running back to, or into, Heidi anytime soon. He can casualy eliminate his “hipster” (Emo) style, which I know JA is itching to be rid of, and blame it on “when in California . . . “. Hopefully, no one will “notice”. Finally, I bet that one day, sooner rather than later, he’ll have “lost” his bald spot. Hopefully, no one will “notice” that, either. JMHO.
Does she have a tattoo on her right-hand index finger? I think I see one in the 4th photo!
How is it that when Theroux gets with a 42 yr old Aniston at 39 he’s having a mid-life crisis, and they are moving too fast, yet when Pitt got with a 29 yr old Jolie when he was 40 and had three kids within a year, it’s “true love”?
I mean, it’s quite possible Theroux is having one, yet Pitt did exactly the same thing + kids asap but it’s discounted vehemently. Can anyone explain to me how that works?
@Canuck
The difference is that Brad didn’t change his values. His priority has always been to have a family. Brad tried for years to make his relationship to Jen work, and even went to marriage counseling with her.
Even Jen admits — and Courtney Cox confirms — that Brad told Jen of his attraction to Angelina and that he wanted a clean break from Jen before acting on that attraction. He didn’t cheat on Jen and they ended their marriage on good terms, though Jen’s feelings were hurt that he no longer wanted to be with her.
Angelina was already a mother to Maddox and family was #1 for her, so being with her fit in with Brad’s lifelong dream. Finally he found someone who felt the same as he always did, so it’s no wonder that they immediately started adding to their family.
Justin, on the other hand, has been behaving completely out of character in the last couple of months.
I don’t know why I bother to read these JA threads… I must be a masochist. I don’t care for her at all, but I’m starting to feel a little sorry for her. Yes, yes, she has US Magazine on speed-dial and is a total famewhore; but every brand-new relationship is fragile, and how many could withstand that kind of scrutiny? And if they split up before/during/immediately after purchasing a house, they’re going to look like fools.
I guess she dug her own grave in this regard.
ETA: I loved him as the douchey mohawked moviestar in Broken English, with Parker Posey.
@Violet – I so don’t want to wade in to the war but your comment seems to have nothing to do with fact.
How on earth do any of us know Justin is ‘behaving completely out of character’? He’s not been high profile, the media and public haven’t followed his every move.
It’s a well documented Brad changes his image and lifestyle to fit with the woman he is with, just check the pics with Gwyneth, Jen, Angelina.
Jen also said she wanted a family, in fact many think she miscarried during their marriage. I’m tired of reading their marriage ended because of her not wanting children. I imagine it wasn’t all roses due to personal differences, only they know that, then he met Angelina which brought it to an abrupt end.
@Violet, nice response. Ell, nice try, but FAIL. Brad has blond hair, dated women with blond hair, that’s about the extent of his “well documented” lifestyle changes.
I seem to remember Aniston dying her hair even blonder and getting freakin’ fake dread locks when she was with Brad, lol! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_pictures/4158175.stm
Justin and Aniston are both sell-outs (although to be fair, I think Aniston never had much of a soul to sell, she’s always been so shallow and vapid).
I take “midlife crisis” to be he woke up one day and realized he wasn’t gonna “make it” in Hollywood by being an aging poser/hipster in a long-term relationship with a non-famous person.
He saw his chance with Aniston and decided to cash in before it’s too late.
They are using each other. They are both so gross.
@Ell
If family was truly a priority for Jen, she would’ve had kids by now. She’s 42, not 24.
If you read any of Justin’s interviews prior to his relationship to Jen, he denounces people who sell out for fame and fortune, and talks about how celebrity corrupts an actor’s art form (here’s an example: http://www.justintheroux.net/articles/64article.html).
@kira goes into detail about how Justin used to judge people like Jennifer Aniston, someone he’s now following around like a lapdog.
@Violet: His primary focus these days seems to be screenwriting, not acting. The comments he made about Hanks was how when one has too much exposure, it becomes hard to see the character past the celebrity. He’s right about that. How difficult is it for most people to see Aniston as other than Rachel or the former Mrs. Pitt? Jolie was let go from St. John’s because according to them, she (the celebrity) overshadowed the brand. I doubt that applies so much about people whose careers are behind the camera though.
As for his being with someone who is a fixture on the various mags, I don’t think he ever said that celebrity made it impossible to see the person behind the image.
I don’t find him attractive at all. He looks like a tacky 1980 night club owner. I find his look so…how to say it…obsolete and fishy.
I don’t mean to offend anyone,but now that his anomity has a personality of it’s own,I’ll always think of him as: anistons boyfriend,who has a fondness for wearing skinny jeans..
I think Justin’s got a hot bisexual vibe!!
@Violet Those remarks about the evil of celebrity are 10 years old though. We don’t know that his opinion on the matter changed or at least softened overnight, it could have been work of 10 years that passed.
I don’t know if he’s acting out of character as his character wasn’t known to me prior this escandalo. Although he does seem to be in the process of changing a lot about his life – new girlfriend, new agents, new lifestyle, new place to leave, new house etc. Most probably it’s the result of going through some reassesment of his values and achievements.
And I don’t think they move too fast because to me it’s painfully obvious that their relatioship is much older than two months. They’ve been together since the beginning of this year at the very least and considering that he wasn’t single and she’s so high profile must have been through a lot together, both emotional and logistical struggles. So their current togetherness and singlemindedness is quite in line with for how long and through what their relationship developed.
I expect them to last. May be not forever and ever but that’s not going to be her usual fast and furious fauxmance.
@Canuck
Since Friends went off the air, Jennifer Aniston has been known more for her private life than her acting. She regularly courts media attention, invites the press into her home and often appears in the public eye. Even though she’s worth over $100 million, she still accepts advertising endorsements because it means more money and more exposure.
Just have a look at Justin’s pre-Jen interviews. He used to be a total purist in the pursuit of his art and routinely condemned celebrities like Jen, who do anything for attention and money.
@N.D.
There are more recent interviews where Justin expresses similar views. I was grabbed that particular article, because it so thoroughly captures his disdain for sellouts.
The tone of his interviews started changing in the last year or so, as he started getting bigger Hollywood gigs and he stopped openly critizing his successful peers. He was clearly starting to for the brass ring, in a big way. That would’ve been not long before he first got involved with Jen.
Because, yeah. It’s pretty obvious that they’ve been involved far longer than they publicly claim, and that Justin cheated on Heidi.
I see the bashers are out in full force today!
@violet funny how the webmaster of the fansite you linked to decided to abandon it mere couple of weeks before (mid-April) its subject finally became news worthy 🙂
@Runs with Scissors – ‘FAIL’ huh, are we at school?
He really resembles Brad Pitt! Only darker hair, and less “pretty”. (More masculine looking)
I think this relationship’s for real folks! (or at least, as real as Hollywood can get)
Well, in the space of a month–this guy transforms from
“Captain-Weird-Beard/New York Village hipster”
TO
“Clean-shaven/shirt+tie, PR-picture-taking, Beverly-Hills-house-hunting, HEAD MEMBER of the Rachel fan club.”
It’s a little sudden, no? People are naturally going to wonder. 😉
@N.D. – Ha ha, maybe the webmaster abandoned the fansite because he now considers Justin a sellout.
On a completely unrelated note, I’m on vacation and the weather is not cooperating! I should be outside, not online. Grr.
Yikes! Just checked out the ring that was mentioned and that thing is HIDEOUS!
It’s so big it’s like brass knuckles and it has his own name on it!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! It just doesn’t get tackier than that!
Yes- I’m seeing smarmy and meal ticket all over him now. Look out Jen- I predict another heartbreak in your future.
@Violet. I think that it’s pretty clear that as a woman in HW, you make hay while the sun shines, because they discard most of them by about 45. Then, if you have enough socked away, you start to produce films. Plan B was no accident, it was a strategy AND a plan B. Theroux wrote Iron Man 2 well before he met Aniston, it’s hardly high art, it was a purely commercial film. I think that most people eventually realize that in order to have the ability to do what you want to in life, a large pile of F U money is a big help.
He is just a HUGE tool!! She is bound to get hurt yet again.
I’m with @Violet and @Run with Scissors. Perfectly said!! Poor Jen is a massive trade-up from Heidi, if one buys into the Hwood hype and is into the $$$. I give this 1 year max. Justin must think he’s hit the jackpot. Kaching! If she’s funding his next 4 projects hope he watches her back catalogue and realises she can’t act otherwise he’ll have egg on his face. There are a ton of better actresses out there that can give him the kudos/respect he is seeking otherwise he’ll just be known as Poor Jen’s handbag. Getting the vibe across online sites & gossip mags that no-one’s really into this relationship – they’re not getting pages and pages of coverage. At least in Australia anyway. It’s already a yawnfest.
Ok first off JP fans didn’t say he was having a mid-life crises a tabloid quotes his friends as stating he did. You can debate the veracity of the quotes whether they came from friends or US weekly writers but don’t blame people for commenting on the story. I tend to believe that his friends may see it that way. That doesn’t mean the relationship won’t work out but that he’s made HUGE changes since getting with Aniston and has stepped into the PR machine he claimed to distain not long ago.
Did Brad sell out when he changed his mind on his marriage vows?
Did Angie sell out when she started speaking to her father again?
Did Angie sell out when she had Billy Bob’s tattoo erased?
If they ever marry, will that be a sell out?
Maybe I’m biased but I prefer JustJen.
I have studied Astrology & done charts for years. A male Leo & female Aquarius is an ideal match. Fire & Air. Air feeds the fire. Very nice. However, we would have to look at both of their charts because there is a whole lot more to it than just the sun signs. I will see if I can locate their charts & do an analysis.
Gee, I guess family and charity was always first to Angelina, particularly when she was doing heroin and wearing electrical tape over her nipples while bare breasted. Now she thinks she’s Grace Kelly.
No one can change though really, right?
Try again.
@Canuck
I agree that Jen is savvy to milk her celebrity for all its worth. I’m not judging her for that. I judge her for the company she keeps, which includes a BFF who makes racist jokes about Brad’s kids.
I also judge Jen for getting involved with Justin, even though she knew he was living with his girlfriend of 14 years. And I judge Justin for cheating on Heidi and for selling out, after years condemning others for doing so.
Justin’s values began to change when he finally started getting some bigger gigs. His subsequent affair with Jen reflects just how far he’s willing to go to get more fame and money, now that he’s had a taste of the so-called good life.
I got half way through the comments and then skipped to the bottom so apologies if this has been said before, but..
In my experience, people who are no longer in their 20’s and 30’s do tend to move thei relationships a little quicker. There are a few reasons for this that I can see. First and foremost – if you havent had kids and you want them, there isnt a whole lot of time to waste. Thats just a medical fact.
Secondly, at that age chances are you have already been in several long-term relationships. You know yourself better and you also know what you are looking for in a partner – once you find it, you can skip all of the coy bullshit and gameplaying and just cut straight to enjoying being in a serious relationship with each other.
Thirdly, and this one especially relates to Hollywood ( but im sure it applies to other industries as well) – these people work in an industry full of scrutiny, rejection, speculation, and basically a tonne of negativity. Stars dive into relationships with other stars in an attempt to secure some sort of stability and normality amongst the madness. I know I would be! That said, I would take the money over the fame anyday!
As I dont know either of them I cant say for sure that any of these reasons apply to JustJen (ewww.. did I really just call them that?) but it makes more sense than a midlife crisis!
He traded up, just like Brad did by trading up from Jen to Angie. However, I think this guy is smarter and more interesting than Brad so Jen ends up with the best partner in this whole mix.
BP did NOT sell out, I think the term is DIVORCE. (closure)
AJ did NOT sell out, I think the term is FORGIVENESS. (compassion)
AJ did NOT sell out, I think the term is REPLACEMENT. (coordinates)
They did NOT sell out, I think the term is COMMITMENT. (to a LIFE PARTNER)
Apparently, they fully are in agreement with each other, something NEITHER had or could do before. Marriages or divorces included.
@MB
Judging by the string of men that Jen has dated since her divorce, she continues to be drawn to douchebags so she clearly hasn’t learned a thing despite being in her 40s now. They all end up leaving her — it took John Mayer two attempts to break things off, since she’s so clingy — but it doesn’t really matter as long as she finds a new guy in time for whatever movie she’s promoting.
A healthy longterm relationship requires a foundation of trust. Loyalty, fidelity and honesty are not qualities you’re going to find in someone willing to betray his live-in partner of 14 years.
@Violet Well, maybe she isn’t looking for loyalty, fidelity and honesty as much as high quality sperm donor a la Halle Berry or nice accommodating companionship. It’s legit to not be particularly romantic at 40+ but rather practical.
I never put much stock in the whole ’40 yrs old – over the hill’ thing and the accompanying mid-life crisis until my oldest bro hit that benchmark a month ago. I have never seen a previously sane man flip out so quickly and thoroughly. Justin might just have the same affliction.
@Runs with Scissors – Let’s not forget that Brad also dated Juliette Lewis, who is a brunette, not a blonde. Of course, Brad wasn’t as well known a celebrity back when he was dating Juliette Lewis, nor was Juliette a high profile actress like Gwenyth, Jennifer, or Angelina. (I love Juliette Lewis. I wish she wasn’t a Scientologist).
@Canuck – I wouldn’t bother trying to exlain logic to the Loonies. They aren’t able to comprehend it. If you’re not a worshipper of Angelina Jolie, then automatically that makes you an Aniston fan (even if you’re not). I’m not really a fan of Aniston, I do like Jolie (but clearly not enough).
Though it’s funny how everytime there is a negative comment on a Jolie thread, the poster is automatically called an Aniston fan (when a bunch of them aren’t), yet on the Aniston threads, no one accuses someone who posts a negative comment to be an Angelina fan.
But again, that’s to be expected. Fanatics (on both sides), refuse to see any sort of logic.
luls: He really resembles Brad Pitt! Only darker hair, and less “pretty”.
=============================================
Say WHAT?!
Honey, put down that crack pipe and clean your trifocals!
LOL, This man is not aware of how many men has been in that hole. When he finds out, I’m sure Justin will dump her in a hurry.
Jen the homewrecker is good for one thing only , screwing and dumping.
The man is a serial cheater, you picked a good one Jen. LOL
@N.D.
I’m not convinced that Jen actually wants to have a baby. Actions speak louder than words, and Jen has only ever paid lip service to wanting to be a mother.
Justin is also middle-aged, so you’d think he and Heidi would’ve had kids by now if they’d wanted them.
(BTW, I should make it clear that I don’t think they’re anything wrong with choosing to be childfree. Different strokes for different folks.)
That said, I believe Justin is willing to do whatever Jen wants. If she decides she wants a baby, I’m sure he’ll do his utmost to get her pregnant.
But I suspect she’s more interested in his companionship. Justin is easy on the eyes and he asks how high whenever she tells him to jump, so what’s not to love? At least for now, anyway.
Yeah John Mayer went back cause she played the damsel in distress role. Whining about being saved from the wicked warlock and witch Pitt/Jolie. I mean the way she acted presenting the Oscar award back in 09’… ridiculous. He wanted to feel like the good guy instead of being perceived to be an ass. He also went back for a second round to famewhore some more. I think the famewhoring was number one on the list. I guess he got over it, but I doubt he has stopped leading women on then dropping them when his reasons for bothering with them in the first place disappear. Could work and find someone to have a committed relationship with, but he is just a fake like the rest. At least the rest do not try and lie like they are anything special.
I mean a few weeks of paying attention to Aniston you can see how desperate she is. Desperation for pseudo popularity and fame. Good looking guys with money and prestige is the ticket. She is desperate now she will just accept any actor. Just be an actor and they will get her some sort of attention.
She will never grow up. Honestly I wondered if all those shows Oprah would do with the it girls of yester year were directed towards Aniston. Teach her and fools like her that you are not going to be huge like you were yesterday.
Why is everyone talking about Brad. How about the other men, Jen the homewrecker has screwed and been dumped by?
I don’t know about this one.
I think that the way he looks at her when he doesn’t think the camera is directly on him, but her, is a look of a man in love. I.e. The bravo show taping, the Hollywood star, etc. I think he loves her. And yes, she’s the total package, but if you were him, wouldn’t you go for it? He didn’t love the Heidi girl enough to pull the trigger. Bottom line. I think it’s the real deal. Plus, he seems so much more intellectual than beautiful brad. Methinks it could be a step up for ja
“… wearing electrical tape over her nipples while bare breasted”
Honey, that’s what you wear on your nipples to cover them for otherwise bare photo shoots. They only seem odd if you don’t know this. Those pictures are by a professional photographer who
was not supposed to sell those outtakes.

Oh. my. god. lol! *runs to do an analysis of Aniston’s used kleenex I bought on e-bay*
how embarressing for jennifer aniston…IF she truly is in love and hoping for this relationship to work it would make me feel as small as a penis in a cold shower to know that the possible maybe this time ill get it right please dont leave me my dog just died love of her life is only with her as a result of a mid life crisis!!! damn she just cant catch a break huh?? oh well i just hope once justin **was that his name cuz i wsantpaying attn??** gets his mid life crisis situation situated that hell still wanna be with jen the cat lady or else well have to endure more outings and bff stories of her and her vodka bottle with wrinkles homechick chelsea…**plz God NO!!
After reading quite a few of his interviews on that fansite Violet linked us to – no, he doesn’t seem like intellectual to me at all.
He’s not too eloquent, has nothing particularly interesting or deep to say and mostly comes off as a poser. That “I’m such a quirky artsy guy, I collect garbage and work for art not money” image he’s been projecting for years, constant self–congratulatory remarks were really offputting to me.
Mid life crises are usually reserved for people married with children or at the very least married. I think Justin’s smitten with a beautiful, independent, intelligent, stylish, talented, down to earth, funny, and sparkly woman. And with an incredibly beautiful body as well.
I never hear men say anything bad about Jennifer Aniston. Only women. She has got that wholesome yet sexy thing going on men love.
But Jen is very much her own woman. She will not commit to a relationship unless she thinks it is right. She is not desperate to “find a man.” She is not a cave woman. By any means.
@ Rudypatudie
I second that emotion.
Brad is hotter than Justin, if for no other reason than those F*cking poser-a$$ skinny pants! For F*cksake man! Find some f*cking trousers!!!!
Right, the bare photo shoots, and I guess the heroin is what they give you to relax. While you are dreaming you are Grace Kelly.
Someone needs to tell them about Petals and green tea.
Could you pass this on?
http://www.meritline.com/nipple-cover-disposable-petal-top—p-67781.aspx?source=fghdac
So, now we have “this guy is more intelligent than Brad”. Too funny. I guess that’s based on his far more successful carreer than Brad.
If he plays his cards right we MIGHT get “he made/has more kids than Brad”. Goals are great to have.
Funny how not too long ago, he was NOT even on the radar. Now he is in competition with Brad. My,my, I don’t think BP feels the same.
Man, what does Brad have that even all her men are chasing him? I hope one day Angie tells the scoop. For a man to be called boring, BP sure has himself perched on top of the heap of maleness that her other men are measured by.
Loves it. I think BP can declare “CHECKMATE”, game over, afterall he set the bar so high and is not chasing anyone.
@N.D.
That was my reaction, too! I thought he sounded pretentious and full of himself.
NGL, he’s very pretty to look at but I’d find him annoying as hell to spend any amount of time with.
@Anonymous
It’s called a ‘midlife crisis’ and not a ‘midlife crisis for those in a committed relationship’ — you can’t just randomly redefine terms, lol. (Besides which, he was in a commonlaw mariage with his live-in girlfriend of 14 years so your definition didn’t even exclude him.)
As for Jen not committing to a relationship unless she thinks it’s right, well, you’ve obviously forgotten some of the highlights of her relationship with John Mayer. He humiliated her six ways from Sunday, yet she couldn’t stay away.
I actually think that John is the love of Jen’s life, not Brad. There’s no other rational explanation of why she was so obsessed with him.
Maybe he’s putting on a show, and this whole relationship is part of some art/ performance/mock documentary thing and when it’s all over he’ll dump her and we’ll see what it was all about.
#111 Christian girl LMFAO you nailed it. All Jennifer the homewrecker’s, men lead back to Brad and she has been with alot since Brad. But according to JA fans they all have to compared to Brad.
I think he’s only “in competition” with Brad in your head, Christian Girl. No where has he ever made any sort of comment to indicate that he feels the need to compete with Pitt.
# 115 Canuck it is JA fans that compare all the men , she has dated to Brad. JA the homewrecker has dated atleast 15 men since Brad, but all her fans talk about is Brad.
Never said he said anything, but the comparisons have been continually drawn by way too many posters.
So what’s actually in my head is why?
I think a divorce is an indication of an END. No need to compare. All ex’s are not linked. There was a beginning and an end of which one has had several.
Not for nothing, but if someone had broken my heart, I would want the complete OPPOSITE of that person.
I hope they’re happy, I hope it works, and I refuse to engage in any bs on this thread.
Well I hardly know what to say. But of course I will try. Um first, I do believe that Jen and Justin have a hot thing going on right now. I think that they are in love. And I am happy for them.
People said the same thing about Brad when he left Jen for Jolie. That he was in a mid-life crisis. And that seems to be going strong.
I figure this. If in hollywood you “homewreck”, fall instantly on love on set, pretend that you are not dating for at least a few weeks. Then well you have the perfect couple. Brad/Angie, LeAnn/Eddie, Jen/Justin. This is sure to last. It started in the right way for hollywood.
Also i response:
“Even though she’s worth over $100 million, she still accepts advertising endorsements because it means more money and more exposure”. Um you do realize that almost all celebrities accept advertising endorsements. Most do it in Japan (e.g. Brad Pitt, George Clooney). But also in America (e.g. Angie for LV). Were you suggesting that they all do it to get more money and exposure 0r just jen?
“Since Friends went off the air, Jennifer Aniston has been known more for her private life than her acting.” YOu do realize that in the first six months of this year Jen will have had two movies reach 100 million in the US. Name me other actors that have this.
“Invites the press into her home”. You mean like Brad did?
“Often appears in the public eye.” Um – actually Jen rarely has photos taken of her unless she is promoting a movie. How many casual pictures have there been of Jen going to store, a park, or anyother venue since January. Only a handful. Many of premieres because she has had two very successful movies. So once we start seeing pictures of her daily (like somone else we know) then yes I will agree.
@Violet re:John Mayer. I think though she’d tried to rationalize it as “I like him thiinking thoughts” it’s just sex was crazy amazing, that’s all. Happened to most of us once upon a time, I suspect 🙂
This time it’s possible that it’s big love on her part. I mean she’s started changing her life for him before he even broke up with his live-in girlfriend – what with selling her house and all the sudden talk of “downsizing” from a woman who lived her life between luxury Mexico resorts and HW mansion she’s spend millions and years redecorating.
@N.D.
Jen was dating John Mayer when she was 40, so hopefully she experienced crazy good sex before John and his “white supremacist d*ck” came along, lol.
Have you seen photos of her new $5.9 million NYC penthouse apartment? Believe me, she’s not really downsizing. I think she bought the apartment as one more enticement — remember this kind of money is huge to us, but pocket change to Jen — to lure Justin away from Heidi, but it turns out she didn’t need to since he’s willing to move to California.
I’m not convinced Jen’s in love. She’s in love with the idea of love, but in love with Justin himself? Time will tell, I guess.
@Pity
If you read some of my comments above, I’ve already addressed all of your key points with the exception of Jen’s acting abilities. Most of her roles are variations of Rachel, so my opinion of her acting abilities isn’t in line with yours. We’ll have to agree to disagree on that point.
@Pity:
“Since Friends went off the air, Jennifer Aniston has been known more for her private life than her acting.” YOu do realize that in the first six months of this year Jen will have had two movies reach 100 million in the US. Name me other actors that have this.
Box Office isn’t acting. I don’t even recall the last time she honestly tried to act. Maybe the Good Girl? Sheesh, I don’t get why the critics went gaga over that. Her acting coach had to tie weights to her hands to teach her not to make crazy Rachel/sitcom gestures and they lapped it up like the second coming.
Really, if an acting coach has to tie your hands down to make you stop doing it, wouldn’t one realize the acting thing isn’t for them?
@Violet Well, even her talking about “downsizing’ was weird and caught attention of quite a few commenters back then. I mean I was surprised she even knew the word 🙂 And she went as far as selling her house!
It’s even worse at 40:) By that age you know that truly mindblowing sex is a rare opportunity and quite often short lived, definitely not to be wasted 😉
@duncecap
Good point — a lot of people confuse box office draw with acting ability. Besides which, is not like Jennifer was even the lead in the movies @pity mentions.
Whenever I see Jen acting, I think of that old saying: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
I haven’t seen Jen’s latest movie, but pretty much every time I see her onscreen I think, “Hey, it’s Rachel Green!”
That said, she does try her best. I recently read an interview where Jen was talking on about how she took a big risk on ‘Horrible Bosses’ by using a dark wig to make the character more believable.
::sigh::
She’s no Meryl Streep, that one.
I find this Theroux guy fugly and mega smarmy (excellent word Cheyenne! 😀 ) looking. I don’t think he is ‘really masculine’ looking either LOL.
Skinny jeans on (most) men do nothing for me and certainly don’t make me think of them as overly ‘manly’ or ‘sexy’ 😆 .
As for the comments on this thread, I really, really, really wish that people would leave the ex’s out of these threads (both the AJ/BP and the JA ones). This thread for example has NOTHING to do with Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. That relationship was over years ago and these people have nothing to do with each other.
Sigh.
@N.D.
Ha ha, I was also surprised to find out Jen knew the word downsizing…but then I saw her new luxury penthouse apartment and realized she didn’t have a clue. Maybe Huvane told her it was a topical term to use and a good excuse for her to buy a home in NYC? After all, at the time she wasn’t yet openly dating Justin.
I get what you’re saying about crazy good sex being rare, but I still don’t think it’s okay to get involved with someone who already has a partner. I’ve been cheated on and it’s absolutely heartbreaking, so I wouldn’t want to be the cause of anyone else hurting like that. This is why it gets on my last nerve seeing Jen yapping on and on about how in love she is when poor Heidi is still unpacking from last month’s unexpected move.
They seem like a great couple. I have heard that his ex was a snooty NYC fashionista. Jen seems way more fun.
ANISTON WASNT OBSESSED WITH JOHN MAYER CAUSE OF SEX. IT WAS CAUSE HE WAS 10 YEARS YOUNGER AND A ROCK STAR…WORTH OVER 100 MILL…GOOD LOOKING. GETTING A YOUNGER MALE WITH PRESTIGE AND ALL THOSE OTHER SUPERFICIAL QUALITIES MEANS …TO HER …SHES HOT SHHH…
I MEAN COMPARE HIM TO FAT VINCE VAUGHN…THAT WAS THE PRIOR CELEB SHE HAD.
HE WAS AN EGO BOOST FOR HER. No different than an over priced car
Wasn’t Brad into scientology with Lewis. Now charity with Jolie and changing his looks for each of the women he is with.
Brad Pitt fans lecturing about a guy changing his look and lifestyle which Justin has not done, is just funny
@Violet: lol! Oh, Jen…. Go sit down before you hurt yourself, sweetie.
@Priscilla: Yep, trading up for a snooty LA fashionista. And I don’t think Jen is all that fun. Wasn’t there a “poor Jen” story out there about her on a blind date and they ate in silence because she can’t carry conversation of any sort that doesn’t involve hair or pilates?
I pity any poor guy who ends up with her for good.
wow..the amount of energy wasted to discreet JA..is so funny..its true love and hate just thin line..
If anyone said jen isnt a good actress..I want to know why she still work and get a good paid more than us? and can you do the job better than her?.I doubt it..
when you watched Friend with money,Derailed,Marley and Me,Bruce Almighty,HJNIU,Switch,JGWI,HB,Good Girl,Office Space..etc..is she playing Rachel?..come on..be fair ..and if you think a box office isnt a a right tool to show her acting ability..its mean TomC,Leo,BP, isnt a good actor cause they never got Oscar..mostly their movie is a box office winner…its such a joke when people try to make judgement of the others..basic on their disliking of someone..they will always pick point her fault.
Hw is a business..if she didnt knew how to acts..she will not get paid well for so long after Friends ahead of the others Friends co star.
There are so many more younger and beautiful actress who gladly want to replace her position..but they didnt get the job..its jen..and why?..cause people still want to pay to see her movie.so your statement its sadly its your opinion,basic on your own hate over her..so its not fact ot even objective.
and the other think of why she ‘always” mention about Bp..its so over rated..she didnt even mention his name..for a while..and if she’s saying stuff about her own breakup experience..wait….its her right@@@@.
Not like us here..who talking it when its really not our business.
the third..about the homewrecking/cheating..we not know the fact..but even so, jen didnt cheat..if this happenef its JTx who cheat..but I doubt its the cae..and jen didnt took pictures of happy fsmily picture in the mag spread ..
@mouse
Brad was never into Scientology
Gwennie coppied Brad’s look not the other way around.
Brad has change his look for years. for films or for the hell of it.
Brad had been charity work for many years before meeting Angelina
YOU and others love to try and paint Brad with that tabloid brush.
I know it’s hard to accept but Brad has always been his own man. Why do people like you and others make it a bad thing to embrace what you partner is interested in. Maybe if he and Jennifer were on the same page or had common interests they would have grown together instead of apart. The marriage ended. And he moved on.
I wonder if all this viral would have happened had Jennifer found love/family/ whatever at the beginning when she and Brad split. I think the problem for many of her fans is he did move on and is in a solid relationship. Happy. almost 7 years and 6 children.
She is still searching. her words not mine.
Maybe JustJen will last, maybe not. Let’s all meet back in 7 years or so and see where they are.
I get that many of you are still upset that Brad/Angie are still together. But that is a fact. So stop hating and celebrate that Justjen are together.
time will tell if it last. But whether it does or not it has nothing to do with Brad or Angie. The comparison is silly. ONE has a family and life long commitment. the other is just beginning. And after 7 years it is no longer your exes fault regarding you life circumstance. Jennifer is either happy and where she wants to be or she is still smarting over a divorce 7 years old. She herself has said she is over it. Done. 100 years ago. That she and Brad talked after the spit and talked it all out. She has moved on. Left the past behind.
so if one is to believe her words. Why all the hate towards an ex husband.. not an ex relationship. It is not as if she had not been with other men since her divorce. So in order for her to be with Vince was she over it. or John was she over it. or whatever guy(s) that came after. The woman is not a nun. She has been or had other men. So why is it that a 7 year old divorce is so lasting. While other women in Hollywood have moved on. Reese, Nicole, so many others. And they had children.
According to her fans the lost of Brad has damaged her. SERIOUSLY give me a break. I love Brad but I don’t give him that kind of power.
why do her fans.
and whatever hatred you said to her..she still happy and strong..and go on with her life..i doubt any of us can did that…are you ever experience a marriage/relation breakdown which being so public and people (who you never meet) start to blame on you on your ability to have kid as the reason of the problem?..and your ex new partner has a baby couple of months after.
Jen will have or not kids..depend on her readyness..noone business..
midlife crisis or not..at elast they had fun..both never admit that this is the ONE..they just enjoy summer romance.
I know of many, many guys who’d date a girl forever & then BAM he dumps her, gets married within the year & has children. It happens in real life so why can’t it happen in Hollywood? It’s happened to three of my friends who were devastated (each of them) b/c it destroyed their self-esteem and made them feel not good enough. They always were shocked, rightfully so, and complained why the guys said they didn’t want kids, marriage, etc.
“I know it’s hard to accept but Brad has always been his own man.” I laughed so hard at this I almost got sick. Of course he is.
“I get that many of you are still upset that Brad/Angie are still together” See this is where you are so wrong and do not understand. I believe that Brad/Angie should be together. They have six kids. Families need to stay together. I for one think they should get married. Why I really dislike about them is the games they play. What happened with Jennifer is old and gone. “We don’t know what is said in the tabloids” Of course you don’t – that is why you respond to it. “We don’t have help overnight” Really? Of course you don’t – we all believe you. It goes on and on. I am so tired of there attention seeking ways. Taking pictures of her breastfeeding, selling pictures of their kids, getting papped every day. I really just want them to disappear for a while. But that will not happen Brad is so desperate for an Oscar it is sad. They have to make sure they attend every film festival – even if it is to promote a kids cartoon. I mean who else goes to a film festival and makes a huge display for a kids cartoon? And speaking of good acting. The Moneyball trailer looks very pathetic – Brad needs to stretch a bit he only ever plays himself over and over and over. No wonder he never gets an Oscar. probelm is no one wants to see Brad anymore. I mean Burn after reading (a dark comedy) with Clooney and Pitt only made 60 million in the US. The Tree of Life is just bombing badly. Problem with Brad is he can’t act and he can’t make money. But never fear he will continue to sell his children for attention in the tabloids. At least they are tabloid kind and queen. What an honor.
He’s HOT. Jennifer Aniston scored!
He was in Mulholland Drive…one of the main characters.
Pity: Burn after reading (a dark comedy) with Clooney and Pitt only made 60 million in the US. The Tree of Life is just bombing badly. Problem with Brad is he can’t act and he can’t make money.
============================================
Do yourself a favor and do your homework before you post on here. Burn After Reading grossed over $160 million worldwide, which was five times its production cost. The Tree of Life has never been in wide release. And the box office total of Brad Pitt’s movies is over five BILLION dollars. And you’re saying he can’t make money? 😆

I take all Hollywood gossip with several bales of salt, let alone a grain, but that’s one I can definitely believe. Have you ever seen her in interviews? Excruciating. I hope Justin can stand her for more than a few months. Every guy she’s had since Brad has bailed on her in three months or less.
The absolute BEST thing in this thread are the Jen fans bashing Brad & Angie for “cheating” and in the next breath wishing Jen & Justin luck! The cognitive dissonance is delicious! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
@anonymous
Ditto just about everything you said.
also, would love to hear from Heidi – because I am nosy that way (just like everyone here if you’d admit it)
May Brad and Angelina marry and the sooner the better!I realize that to some JP fans that marriage is just a legal document…..well between Brad and Jen but I’ll bet there will be harps playing, bird singing, and angels spotted when BP/AJ finally tie the knot.’Bout right?
Hope this works out for Jen but can’t say I feel strongly one way or the other about JustJen as yet. It seems more promising than her other relationships thus far.
Strongly disagree that Brad isn’t a good actor.He’s given many fine performances and probably will give many more.
Angelina is great at what she does which is for the most part sex siren/kick ass roles with an occasional “serious” role thrown in there.Nothing wrong with that but I’m not buying that’s she is a great actress on par with Helen Mirren…nor is JA but she’s great in her comedic roles and there’s nothing wrong with that either.
FYI Jen was single and shouldn’t be criticized for dating around after her divorce.I wouldn’t dream of rushing into another serious relationship if I ever divorced.Jen had some fun, confidance building relationships after her divorce.Can’t be easy on anybody’s self esteem to have your husband move on so quickly and effortlessly.Yes JP fans I think he did just that and had every right to do so after the divorce but I think anyone with a heart would find that hard to cope even if it wasn’t covered by the world wide media.
8/4 Leo here!!
He is sexy. Not as conventionally handsome as some other men, but looks confident as sh**, has some attitude, and is acting like he’s quite into her.
Does it really matter in the long run if her celebrity status is part of his attraction to her? If he is able to give her what she needs in the relationship and she does the same for him, then they’re both happy. Maybe she has decided to overlook the famew**ring aspect and, and is happy to share her money with him. She can’t take it with her.
Sure it was Gwyneth changing her look which she still has to be like Brad.
Guess Juliette also copied Brad with the whole scientology thing too. Brad might have done charity but for some reason before Jolie we didn’t hear about it everyday.
When Justin starts loving dogs, going to the beach, and going golden blond we can say he is copying Jennifer. Up until now no one has even heard a statement from Justin about his relationship. Its all just rabid speculation.
president obama is a leo too, august 4,turning 50 i think…same day as my grandmother who’s turning 100.
And the Brad Pitt fans are so quick to herald him for having kids so he has six kids so did Mel Gibson. If he could put them in school and give them one address it would be something
I guess it is a good thing the Brange fans are not supporting this relationship. Afterall, your enemies can’t wish you well, and if they hate the man you are with, then he is good for you and it has pissed them off.
@ Runs with Scissors: what Spinner said made perfect sense to anyone who knows the first thing about astrology. Natal charts are public knowledge if the date, time, and place of birth are known. So celebrities make excellent case studies. Spinner is correct: Suns in opposition make a favorable aspect, but one needs to see all the planets and houses to do a thorough analysis.
Funny how people love to mock anything they don’t understand.
Still I don’t get all the negativity and judgment toward Theroux and Aniston. They look happy.
@Pity – Hey! Tree of Life isn’t a “bomb”. As far as I can tell, it still seems to be running in limited release – it’s only been shown at a maximum of 237 theatres – so yes, with low distribution, the box office take is also going to be low.
In any case, I’d say the film is seen as a Terrence Malik film, and not a Brad Pitt (or Sean Penn, for that matter) movie, and I also wouldn’t be too quick to equate box office take with quality. The Hurt Locker had only pulled about $12 million when it won the Academy. (And then there’s crap like Transformers which makes gajillions of dollars…) :-/
Anyway, I know I’ve drifted way off topic – but IMO, Terrence Malik is brilliant, I had to jump in and defend his film. 🙂 Sorry for the diversion.
/End geeky film rant
It goes without saying that CAA only represents the best in the business. This is the furthest thing from a midlife crisis.
If anything worries me about this article, it’s how many people seem to take astrology seriously. Yikes. :/
it is scary to see how many folks are falling for this fake pr.
let me break it down for ya’all- this fake controversy supports the new “bad girl” image she is trying to portray (so producers might hire her) and is for promoting her next film.
she is trying to promote it with simlar controversy as MAMS. hence, the copycat ways she uses to keep the triangle alive.
eddie munster is contractually obligated and gets signed on with CAA and gets press and gets paid off.
open your eyes folks- they are mutually feeding off of each other for career purposes.
Most men do go younger, except the middle-aged C-list actors who go richer. I agree I think she’s going to use her considerable influence to get him more acting gigs so he’ll feel good about himself and his career. What’s sad is that Heidi is universally loved, and he traded her in after working with Aniston for a few weeks. Heidi was with him for 14 years and didn’t even see it coming, when he told Heidi she moved out of THEIR home right away. He’ll get exactly what he deserves in terms of quality of life with clingy.
Meadowlark – there are many,many matters in this world alone more worrisome. But if we read the gossip blogs, why wouldn’t we also check our natal planetary transits? 🙂
Ignorance and snobbery are old friends.
trh- Just because I don’t put any value in the completely unscientific/illogical claims of astrology doesn’t mean I’m ignorant on the subject. But I’m never one to turn down new information; if you have any links to scientific studies pertaining to the accuracy or validity of astrology, please pass them on!
& I concede your point about where celeb gossip and astrology should rank on one’s list of worrisome things.
ViloDeMenus–Heidi is universally loved??
wtf are u smoking? LMAO!! She is basically an unknown. You all call Justin an unknown yet in the same breath call his ex that no one would have ever cared about if Aniston wasnt linked to them “universally loved”.
Granted she is making a better living than most of us on here but i can bet you my years savings that a lot of celebs dont even know her by name. Maybe by face but certainly no “universally loved”
wtf did you get that idea from?? lol
Oh and I forgot to add, A WHOLE LOT of all the movies she styled for were Justin’s movies! So obviously, HE was the one getting her the gigs….check IMDB.
“It’s called a ‘midlife crisis’ and not a ‘midlife crisis for those in a committed relationship’ — you can’t just randomly redefine terms, lol. (Besides which, he was in a commonlaw mariage with his live-in girlfriend of 14 years so your definition didn’t even exclude him.)”
“As for Jen not committing to a relationship unless she thinks it’s right, well, you’ve obviously forgotten some of the highlights of her relationship with John Mayer. He humiliated her six ways from Sunday, yet she couldn’t stay away.”
Does anybody follow this logic? Because I have no idea what this said.
It’s extremely difficult to accept any of these premises anymore, because they are very presumptuous, so I am not going to argue this plethora of very unclear points.
I will get back to the subject on my mind which is this guy is drop dead gorgeous, a knock out, and I think Jen finally found someone to date who is her equal. There are just a lot of men not Jen’s equal out there. Brad may have been equal in fame and success, but he wasn’t equal in his ability to commit or his moral integrity or his ability to make sacrifices, which the love of marriage requires. I also don’t believe he was equal in intelligence or humor. In fact I find him kind of humorless.
I realize Jen might have dated some of the earlier men for the good sex, but, I think she is dating this guy for more than that. Good writers are very interesting. But, frankly? It is up to both of them if they want to be together or carry it further than dating.
Living with someone is a minor commitment compared to marriage.
@Interesting
“universally loved”
You are right, that is freaking hilarious. Which orifice do they pull this doodee out of?
I didn’t read all the comments, but a see someone is considering him smart and intellectual. Why? Did he say something particularly wise or achieve something really remarkable in arts?
I also see he tends to think highly of himself, and he’s very convincing in explaining us the difference between real art and commercial products.
So, I went through his resume, and, to be honest it’s not like he wrote The Seventh Seal, or Lawrence of Arabia or Apocalipse Now. I mean, Iron Man2, LOL. If this is not a commercial movie….
@Mouse Brad WAS NEVER A SCIENTOLOGIST. The is no evidence of him ever espousing the church. There is only evidence that they tried to get him to come into the fold and he was too smart for them and dumped Lewis rather then join their ‘church’. So save that lie for your other website. It’s so much more fun to rip apart the Brange than to stay on topic about Justin Theroux isn’t it 🙂
Thank you trh & you are so correct in your comments.
And…@ runningwithscissors – you should be more careful at runningyourmouthwithscissors
@meadowlark: Hilarious, right? Spinner (who can’t even get my name right, lol) and trh are just ticked that I called them out for acting like “loons” because they have their heads so far up Aniston’s ass that they want to run off and do an astrological “analysis” of these two jokers to check their “natal planetary transits” (maybe they can deduce when they’ll take a crap?)
Maybe we could get a sample of Justin’s back hair and analyze it. I bet it’s better than BRAD’S!!!
But of course anyone who thinks this is funny must not be intellectual enough to understand astrology, lol, yeah, that’s it 🙂 Awesome.
Just throwing my 2 cents since I am closer to this situation than many of you speculating here. I don’t think this Justifer relationship will last for the long haul but they will continue to keep it going to prove the haters wrong. As for Heidi, the fact that she has not dished dirt despite being bombarded with questions and curiosity daily, speaks to her character. While not “universally” known, she has a following professionally and is a good person. Again, just my 2 cents.
sorry to go off topic, but what’s with all the astrology stuff? Astrology, really?
Leo: The universe would like to thank you for your participation, hopes you know that you were really great, and wishes you luck in all your future endeavors.
“Maybe we could get a sample of Justin’s back hair and analyze it. I bet it’s better than BRAD’S!!!”
Or we could just get out a map, or a globe, and then close our eyes and point to a place on it and make ourselves feel better. If that doesn’t work we can all hop atop an elephant with a Louis Vuitton bag full of tuna sandwiches and watch the sunset.
Now, I don’t believe in astrology, but I sure as hell don’t believe in maps or elephants either.
Is there heroin in Cambodia? Did you know it is many times cheaper to be a heroin addict in Cambodia than in the US or Europe?

This thread is going a bit stale but you can always count on a loon to talk to himself.
@meadowlark – Inre: scientific proof of astrology’s validity or accuracy, or its illogical/unscientific claims… I am aware of no examples of the scientific method being applied in independently-verifiable experiments to demonstrate any measurable efficacy of the occult pseudo-science that is called (western) astrology. I would be as surprised as you if such studies were to emerge and be validated by the scientific community. I personally make every effort to segregate my scientific inquiry from my occult divination, but maybe that is where I fail. In any case I find the scientific method and astrology orthogonal at best, and incompatible at worst. At heart, however, I remain a pragmatist, and astrology has always worked for me.
In a similar way, the precepts of acupuncture are disputed by scientific skeptics, yet I (and millions of others) find acupuncture to be very effective in a way that placebos are not — but then again, common sense prevents me from submitting to a double-blind clinical trial that involves being stuck with needles at random.
Interestingly, scientific studies are emerging to demonstrate measurable benefits of meditation and affection. (So maybe you can now find “value” in these things?)
@ Runs with scissors – ok, I’m a loon and you’re an intellectual. And I’m a Jennifer Aniston/Justin Theroux apologist. Yes, I think we can all agree on these points. Indeed, why not?
Finally, to get back on topic — I love Mr. Theroux’s work, and I’m a long-time fan, but the evidence is pretty overwhelming: HE IS SELLING OUT. ON AN UNPRECEDENTED SCALE. It boggles the mind really.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)
ciao!
I wish them both well. There’s no guarantee with any relationship so I wish people would get over the homewrecker thing. You can’t control anyone else so if they stay or go that’s totally up to them. Why on earth would you want them to stay if they don’t want to? Staying bitter just makes you sound really ugly!
@trh There are statistical researches about astrology. None of them found astrological prognosys to be different from random guess.
There a tons of EBM researches of efficiency of akupunkture as well. As of yet they are inconclusive, but even those with positive conclusion do not claim it to be good enough to substitude normal threatment.
Time will tell
I’ve been shaking my and (literally) rolling my eyes at some of the bald-faced lies and hypocrisy at the JP haters, but THIS below takes the cake as the most disgustingly hypocritical nervy thing to say;
“Brad may have been equal in fame and success, but he wasn’t equal in his ability to commit or his moral integrity or his ability to make sacrifices, which the love of marriage requires.”
The great irony of course, is that Brad was the ONLY one of the 2 commited equitably to that marriage. He wanted children. Jen lied to him and betrayed him and put him off, fobbed him off all the time. In a couple of years. And then, oh, after Friends ends. Renews contract. Then, ok after this last year, I will spend the year concentrating on having a family. Only to then stab him in the BACK! By signing on for six (6) movies back-to-back, in under one year. TWO, of those movies, Brad had to find out about from the Hollywood insider Variety magazine. She wasn’t even honest with him. The guy spent years waiting, being patient, sacrificing HIS needs for HER career. And all for what? What did he get in the end? A slap in his face. I feel so sorry for Brad because Aniston walked all over him and she betrayed her vows by not putting in her side of the commitment. Brad, like a good doormat, deferenced himself to his wife. He put his hopes and dreams on hold for YEARS for his wife’s career, when all along it was obvious Aniston had NO intention of giving Brad a family. She lied to him from the start and used him when she could have just been straight honest with him, not married him in the first place, and let him be free to get a family he wants. But no. The marriage was so one-sided. All Brad giving, Aniston taking. Brad wasted years waiting and waiting and patiently waiting. And for what did he have to show for it? For his loyalty? For his sacrifice? Brad is such a loyal and forbearing man – I truly felt so sorry and heartbroken for how he was treated by Aniston, someone who knows nothing of commitment and JOINT happiness.
Oh, speaking of joints, and Anonymous’ nauseating bs about Aniston being seen as ‘wholesome’, when in fact she is anything, ANYTHING BUT, and going on about Angelina and heroin as if Angelina was regular taker of heroin when she never was. Angelina never took heroin regularly. That lie was exposed long ago. She was never a regular user at all, let alone an addict. But lets look at Aniston’s LEGENDARY pot-smoking, and her well-publicised alcoholism. Why don’t you talk about Aniston the druggie taking joints before doing photoshoots, instead of lying about Angelina and heroin? Perhaps because you need to smear a good woman to make Aniston seem remotely palatable in comparison. Oh and keep telling yourself that living together for 14 years and having a home and assets together is ‘minor’ compared to a 5 year ‘marriage’ of convenience if it helps you deal with the FACT that Aniston is a homewrecker. But you know the truth. Pity you don’t have the courage to admit it.
Oh, and maybe those who said Heidi is universaly loved, pulled that from the same ‘orifice’ as those who said Aniston is even remotely ‘wholesome’.
@Laughternrain: She (JA) also forgot to thank him (Brad) when she won (her Emmy?) I saw the award show that day (coincidence since I don’t watch award shows much) However, the actual clip is ‘allegedly removed’ whenever it surfaces. The camera would pan to Brad while she thanked everyone but him, it was awkward (understatement) every now and then a fan finds it and posts it.
Wow, the comments here are written as if the posters are personal friends with Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie et al.
You don’t know them, you don’t know why they broke up/got together etc
It’s one thing saying “I think XYZ” but there are so many definitive statements made here about people who wouldn’t know them if their drivers ran over them in their BMW’s. Hilarious if also a little sad and demented.
Angie admitted in an interview,that she seduced Brad on purpose. She also admitted that her friends put the word out that JA didn’t want children. It was a lie. Furthermore, she trapped Brad getting pregnant before JA’s & Brad’s divorce was final. I have no respect for Brad or for Angie. JA had a miscarriage and instead of being supportive and working things out with JA, Brad left her, and had Angie pregnant before the ink was dried on the divorce papers.
About HB & Justin, many couples who get together young, mature, and their goals & priorities in life change. No engagement 14 years? Justin & Jen are mature and found what they want and need in each other.
I wish Jen and Justin lots of happiness together.
to everyone not the anon at comment 173
my comment for @Laughternrain is comment 171 anon at 173 is tripping.
Anon please stop posting trashloid LIES. Angelina has NEVER admitted in ANY interview that she ‘seduced’ Brad on ‘purpose’. Please stop the lies. She also NEVER started the TRUTH about Aniston not wanting children. The TRASHLOIDS did that (but of course, nothing is ever Aniston’s fault, is it?). Also, the same trashloids and Aniston fans spread the LIE about a miscarriage that turned out to be false, to take the heat off of Aniston for not wanting to have children. That was a LIE that Aniston fans spread to try and make Aniston out to be a victim rather than the villain, instigator and
manipulator that she was and is. There was not a miscarriage. Stop believing trashloids. The ‘miscarriage’ bs from
mischievous Aniston fans is a figment they MADE UP. There was no such thing. Brad chose to adopt Zahara, BEFORE Angelina got pregnant. So there goes your desperate ‘theory’ of lie and smear to excuse Aniston’s behaviour. The fact of the matter is Brad decided to adopt Maddox and Zahara, ALL ON HIS OWN, *before* Angelina even became pregnant, so there was no ‘trapping’, no matter how much you oh so desperately wish this ADULT was ‘trapped’. The rest of your post is sickenly idolatry and lies and excuses for Aniston’s disgusting behaviour. She broke up a FOURTEEN year relationship and is now flaunting it. She is disgusting and deserves all the scorn she gets.
