First, let’s do all of the nice stuff. Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are still getting pap’d on a daily basis in NYC, as they have been ever since Brad Pitt’s Parade interview dropped. You see, Jennifer is “flaunting” how “happy” she and Justin are, because she knows Brad is totally jealous. More on that in a moment.

So these are photos of Justin and Jen from yesterday. They got photographed all over the place – INF had photos (here) of Justin hogging the umbrella so as to not get his precious leather jacket wet, leaving Aniston to get her blowout damp. The photos in this post seem to be after the rain. I dislike Aniston’s casual outfit. The boots are fug, and those jeans aren’t flattering. I don’t really get the hat either, but I guess her hair didn’t look cute because Justin is an umbrella-hogger.

Hollywood Life also reports that Justin and Jennifer are very loved-up in New York, and they’re nesting. They just went shopping for kitchenware at Sur La Table, where Jen picked everything out and Justin paid. A source tells HL, “Jen and Justin went to Sur La Table in Soho. They went in and Justin picked out all [of the products]. He was protecting her almost by standing in front [of her]. She was quiet. They looked in love. And then they ran out and hopped into their SUV.” They spent $137.02, and Justin charged it.

Meanhwhile, you know how I just talked about OK! Magazine’s cover story, in which a “friend” of Jennifer’s threw a pity party about how Brad is vicious and jealous of Jennifer’s relationship with Justin? Well, Us Weekly got the same “tip” from Jennifer’s team, only the way Us Weekly reports it is kind of funny:

Brad Pitt made a big-time boo-boo. He’s garnering Oscar buzz for his role in Moneyball, but Angelina Jolie’s man sparked a public relations catastrophe last week — all for a Parade interview in which he casually slammed his five-year marriage to Jennifer Aniston, which ended in 2005.

(In the interview released Sept. 15, Pitt, 47, sniffed that he “wasn’t living an interesting life” before Jolie, and that he was “trying to pretend my marriage was something that it wasn’t.”)

And, yes, his 42-year-old ex-wife got wind of the catty comment. “She was annoyed,” a pal close to the Horrible Bosses actress tells the new Us Weekly, out now. “She thought it was rude and inappropriate.”

Team Aniston — her agent and publicists — “went ballistic,” a Pitt insider reveals, and angrily reached out to Pitt’s camp.

“They got his team involved and Brad was read the riot act — the only way you can read the riot act to Brad Pitt,” the source says.

Within 24 hours, Pitt had surprisingly released a statement lamenting that his words were misinterpreted, and that his former love “is an incredibly giving, loving and hilarious woman.”

Still, the Pitt source says, “no one believes his words were taken out of context — he said what he said. I do hear that he’s remorseful.”

And although Pitt is clearly blissed out with Jolie, 36, and their six kids, “We think he’s jealous she’s in love,” the source says.

Indeed, Aniston hasn’t let her ex’s harsh words get in the way of her hot romance with Justin Theroux, with whom she’s now spending time with in NYC. “Justin’s The One!” an Aniston pal says.

For much more on Pitt and Aniston’s unexpected new war — and how Pitt and Jolie “make fun of” her — pick up the new Us Weekly, out now!

There’s so much gold in that one, I can’t even start. Aniston’s PR team reacted the same way her super-defensive fanbase reacted: they lashed out, blew it out of proportion, and then claimed that Brad was just jealous. The problem is that Brad is still represented by CAA, right? He and Aniston both have the same agency, so I can believe that their joined representation was pissed off that he “went off the reservation” so to speak. Maybe if he got a new agent, he wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells around Aniston seven years later.

As for Justin being “the one” – I hope he is. I’m being genuine. I hope he doesn’t dump her. I hope he sticks around. I hope he isn’t too bored.
