Jennifer Aniston shows off a new “ring” at LAX: did Justin Theroux propose?

Here are some new photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston arriving at LAX after they finished up their European “summer vacation” (I’m assuming). JustJen were in Paris for a week (where Aniston drank Diet Coke and had a salad), then they went to Rome and Vatican City, where Aniston wore a minidress and the Pope still waved her through, because I hear he was a fan of Friends. I don’t really know where Justin and Jennifer were this past week, though – I’m assuming they were still in Europe, somewhere, but we were no longer getting daily photo ops from the two of them. As for these photos – could Aniston look happier at being pap’d? Look at that sly smile.

You know why she’s smiling? Because she pulled the same thing that she pulled on Vince Vaughn years ago – she’s showing off a “ring” in the hopes that we’ll assume that Justin/Vince “proposed”.

Jennifer Aniston was rocking a diamond ring after an European getaway with beau Justin Therouux yesterday. The former “Friends” star was seen covering her face at LAX, and revealing what looked like an engagement ring. But, the diamond was worn on her right ring finger, not her left.

Still, the image sparked speculation, and Aniston and Theroux were rumored to be abroad “to scout potential wedding locations in France,” according to Web site X17online.

The couple have previously been photographed wearing matching rings with their names, “Jennifer” and “Justin,” in funky, scripted letters.

However, don’t get those wedding gifts just yet… the Daily Mail reports that “sources close to Justin spoke out to shoot down the claims, insisting their visit to [France] was simply a summer vacation.”

[From Page Six]

Isn’t she just so clever? It’s not like it’s her go-to move or anything. Before I noticed the sly smile and the ring issue, I was actually going to theorize that Justin and Jennifer were looking at potential wedding locales, but now that I see Jennifer’s Ring Game, I suspect that Justin hasn’t yet proposed. And maybe he never will…? He never married Heidi Bivens, even after 14 years together. Maybe he’s just not that into marriage. And maybe Jennifer is trying to push the issue with her Ring Game?

    What really bugs me, and it’s not just Aniston in this photo, but I felt the same way with Shakira (who at one point had the most annoying/conspicuous regrowth) is that they have so much money, yet they forget to re dye their hair regrowth.

    • JoeBanana says:

      People with money sometimes lack time.

      • sup says:

        uhh what? she spends all the time with her hairdresser, who is extremely expensive btw. obviously in these pics her hair was cared for earlier that day. i’m guessing like madonna she keeps the brown roots to give an illusion of youth (look at my hair it’s not all grey yet y’all!)

    • Brittney says:

      While this doesn’t make it any less aesthetically offensive, I’m pretty sure Shakira’s regrowth was completely intentional. It was SO stark, and it seemed like she maintained exactly the same amount for months on end.

  2. Rhea says:

    Please let it be a REAL engagement ring this time!!!!! So everybody can be happy and continue with their life finding another holy triangle, square, circle or whatever for a gossip !!!!! 😉

    • Maguita says:

      It’ll become a dysfunctional rectangle, with a possibility of 2 threesomes, dividing everything back down to a triangle.

      On a side note, those do not look like engagement rings. But lucky them for their vacation time. Mine is coming right around the corner, and hopefully, I’ll be able to get out of the city for a little bit, and swim in the Ocean 🙂 .

      • corny says:

        maybe she’ll buy a new jacket soon

      • Vesper says:

        Burn that jacket already. And, is that a sweater hanging around her waist? Why wouldn’t she just take it off when she put on the jacket. Looks silly. At least her jeans aren’t rolled up, and her footwear has improved.

  3. Jackie O says:

    i like how she always holds her hands up for the paps so they can get a shot of her ‘rings’.

    • skuddles says:

      I know… what is that? Is she pretending her sunglasses are about to fall off and she’s trying to hold them in place? The ring may be a trick but it’s not exactly a clever trick…

    • Amelia says:

      That’s one of my pet peeves.
      “oh, I’m so shy, don’t look at me, I’m covering my face! But wait, don’t forget to check out my bling!!!”
      At least be subtle about it.

    • DeeVine says:

      I am sure that the paps took thousands of shots while she was walking out of the airport, but the ones which sold are the ones which shows a ring when she adjusted the glasses.

      The ring is on the right hand, so who cares?

  4. libby says:

    that totally looks like an engagement ring! he knows who his suga mama is! they both look well vacationed and happy.

    • bubbles says:

      and that would be the only reason, he lived with someone for 10 years (!) without proposing. she is just stupid to fall for the poser fool.

    • Vesper says:

      He looks really happy in these pics, NOT.

  5. lisa2 says:

    Her fans were posting links of pictures of her and Justin in Italy on a boat. I think the ring is old. Not sure but there were stories months about about the ring. but then who knows. who knows who knows.

    Has anyone seen the documentary she and others like Selma, SJP, JLO and Marc did about being hounding by the paps. Just curious.

    • Anon says:

      Yeah and I think this and Paris pap was part of early PR for it. You know old Huvane and Jenny are very clever. Remember, Jen wants to do her SmartWater ad about the paparazzi too, hence the pap’d trips to the gym and hairdresser. Any movies after ‘Wanderlust’?

  6. Another Nina says:

    Oh I’m so tired of feeling sorry for her. I wish someone – anyone for this matter – just proposes to her, she surrogates couple of kids, gets a b.itch pile of flowers from Angie and disappears. Oh for chrissake, these stories are so embarrassing.

    • someone says:

      +1

    • GrandPoobah says:

      Er…-1. Why do you feel sorry for her? She’s just coming back from a European vacation with her boyfriend with a new ring (on her RIGHT hand, therefore, NOT an engagement ring).

      What is embarrassing about that?

      • stinky says:

        thank you – i kept looking and looking for a ring on her left hand. who cares! people wear rings – jesus.

      • another nina says:

        Every article about Jen Aniston deals with 1) whether or not she is getting married to her man of the moment and 2) her hair style. It’s her theme, and I think that this theme, the mere size of it, is desperate and embarrassing for an adult woman.

      • GrandPoobah says:

        Another Nina: it’s desperate and embarrassing for her to…have nice hair and have people constantly speculating about her relationships?

        I think it’s desperate and embarrassing for an adult woman to create a ‘theme’ for another adult woman and then criticize her for it.

      • dilettante says:

        I don’t know if it really is or isn’t an engagement ring. Sounds like it probably isn’t. But she’s of Greek descent, and the Greeks traditionally wear engagement and wedding rings on the right hand. I wonder if she wore her rings on her left hand when she was married to Brad.

      • marie says:

        in the last picture, isn’t that a ring on her left hand? seems shes wearing them on both..do I care if she’s engaged? no, but it is a common THEME with her articles, and she keeps it going-she loves it. don’t act like you don’t know..

  7. MaryJo says:

    That’s her usual modus operandi, isn’t it? How many look-like engaging rings in her ring finger has she shown off in the last seven years whenever she is attached to a guy? Smells a bit like desperation, no?

    • Rhea says:

      Jennifer (for most of the time) likes to do the same thing every time, don’t you know? Not that it’s a bad thing. It’s actually make it easier for us to make a guess about her.

  8. Tiffany27 says:

    Her shoes are way too awful for a person with her money.

  9. Jayna says:

    I finally watched Wanderlust. It was okay, just never went anywhere. Paul Rudd made the movie. He and Jen are the same age. Out in the natural light scenes his skin is far younger than Jen’s. The same as with Ben Affleck when he was in an outdoor shot with her in another movie. Excessive tanning coupled with smoking has aged her skin.

  10. DanaG says:

    Again? I wonder if it’s the same ring she uses each time? I doubt Justin is dumb enough to marry her why bother? That is a popular game though next move for Stacy Keibler now we have had the baby rumors. Jennifer and Justin are going to be working together again so they need to stay a couple. If they have kids will they give them all names starting with J?

    • moonriver says:

      For the love of all that is good in the world–please, no only ‘j’ children.
      Dont let them be the Hipster Duggars.
      Please?
      Haha

  11. sukienow says:

    she been wearing that ring for almost two years(look at some of her red carpet events the ring is there). she was also paped with it LAX on their way to europe and most of their euro pic

    the fact she wears it on the right fingers must means its just a jewelry

    cant the woman wear a jewelry without people speculating she is engaged or pretending like she is ????

    • Katalina says:

      She has totally been wearing for a while now – and like you said, on the right hand. Why can’t it just be a ring she likes? I don’t get why everyone is saying she does this all the time. There was a ring incident with Vince Vaughn, fine. But that was once. And like, 7 years ago.

    • lucy2 says:

      Seriously. I think people read way too much into things sometimes.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        +1,000,0000
        The incessant “Ring Watch” that we impose on women makes me want to vomit, second only to the incessant “Bump Watch”. Because, you know, that’s all women really do is get married and get pregnant and if they’re not married or pregnant then there HAS to be something wrong with them-they must just be biding their time until they’re barefoot and knocked up.

      • cat1 says:

        Thank you ! Agreed. And TheOriginalKitten so so agree re: “bump watch” and “ring watch.” Without either, it must mean women’s lives are not complete. It does get tiring. And the more of it there is it becomes this droning incessant form of peer pressure. To withstand it actually becomes an act of independence in a sense in our society.

    • lulu says:

      ^This.

  12. sullivan says:

    Does she warn her boyfriends about the ring trick or are they surprised & horrified when they see it?

  13. Rhea says:

    Hmmmm…a diamond ring…. Interesting. I don’t hear anybody brings up the issue of blood diamond in this article (unlike when other celeb was wearing a diamond ring). 😉

    • lisa2 says:

      Perfectly said.

      But that conversation is never made on any other celeb that has gotten engaged with a diamond ring. Wonder why?

      • really says:

        Probably because this celeb doesn’t claim to give a shit about social justice, while the other one does.
        Having said that, I prefer the celebs whose actions and words have caused us to hold them to a higher standard, even if sometimes they don’t meet it.

  14. o says:

    Don’t care about the ring, but do envy their lifestyle. It must be really nice to have all that money to just travel around the world and eat at fancy restaurants and wear fancy clothes and jewelry.

    • jesstar says:

      I think you’ve hit on exactly gets under the skin of those who love to insult her.

      • Vesper says:

        Because there are no other famous “celebs” who also travel and have money to burn? Yes, definitely, that is the reason she is not adored by all.

      • Emma - the JP Lover says:

        @Jesstar ….

        Nope, it’s just concern about that ‘huge’ carbon footprint from all their traveling.

  15. Sheila says:

    When you consider that on other gossip sites JA is getting less attention by commenters than Blake Lively(!!!) and even Miley Cyrus(!!) sometimes, I say JA would need to put a ring on every body part she can now to stay relevant!!!! Her star is not shining so bright anymore and she and her PR team probably know that big-time right now. So *sigh* back to the married and/or baby rumours. So original..not!!

  16. Lady_Luck says:

    For somebody who is 40 I think she is absolutely stunning. Very toned ans sexy still. Just like Elle and Cindy Crawford, I see her ageing well. Good on her.

  17. Anon says:

    Early promotional work for her new anti-paps movie? Will be Jen be the only one doing the PR again, even though there are others in the docu-movie? Is her SmartWater ad written/directed-by-Justin-starring-Jen about her life with the paparazzi still on? No one has PR moves like Jen Aniston.

  18. Jess says:

    Actually it has gone too far. It’s like she can’t buy or wear new piece of jewelry without being accused of palying wicket games. She can’t eat a salad because there is huge problem. She can’t wear this and that because there is gigantic problem. This woman really can not do anything right for some people. Just leave her alone. It looks like some people are really pressed and obsessed with her.

    • Kim1 says:

      Thats the price of being a celeb.She’s been in the biz 20 years if she can’t handle the gossip and scrutiny she can take her 100 millon dollars and leave the biz

  19. Sillyone says:

    Does that douche ever take off that damn leather jacket??

  20. julie says:

    I find it interesting that as soon as there is media attention about them splitting up that they take a high profile vacation. Don’t other people just get on a plane and go somewhere? She had to have let on about her trip and where they were going so they could be photographed all lovey-dovey together to dispell the articles about him not wanting to live “in a fishbowl”. She uses the press, just like most other celebs who really care what’s printed about them. Too bad she just can’t live her life and really not care what everyone thinks.

  21. HotPockets says:

    This is insane, is it just me or is that ring not even on her ring finger? It sure looks like it’s on the other hand, which isn’t considered the engagement/ wedding ring finger.

    Also, I think it speaks volumes that Justin was with Heidi for so long and never married her. I think a lot of men still want to marry, but they have to meet the right person. One of my guy friends just got out of a 11 year relationship with a girl because he finally decided he had no intentions of ever marrying her. I see this happen A LOT. People spend a significant amount of time with someone because they don’t know how to end it and they’re too much of a pu$$y to just be honest with themselves and their partner about the longevity of the relationship.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I’ve seen that scenario play out a million times. Craziest part is usually that guy then jumps into a relationship shortly after and marries the next woman pretty quickly.
      Not sure why that’s so typical but could be like the SATC theory about men being like cabs-they just suddenly have their light on.

    • sup says:

      he’s a man child with a peter pan complex. we all know the type. his wannabe artist hipster ways, leather jackets in late june, skinny jeans all give away what he is. he just wants to fool around and continue living his pretend lifestyle. he doesn’t want to marry anyone. and he won’t unless he is somehow obliged/making some kind of good profit out of it.

    • Vesper says:

      Or, he is someone who is not interested in marriage. There is nothing to say Heidi didn’t know about that from the get go. Alternatively, she could have been the one who isn’t into marriage. Everybody just assumes it was his choice. Not every woman cares about getting married, and it doesn’t mean their love is less intense.

    • Sal says:

      “I think it speaks volumes that Justin was with Heidi for so long and never married her.”
      That is so 1940s. There are some people that simply DON’T believe in marriage, FULL STOP. It doesn’t mean its the wrong person or they ‘want to end it but can’t’. That is so ridiculous.

  22. Dinah says:

    She’s been photographed intermittently wearing a big rock on her right ring finger for a year or so now, along with that gaudy name ring on the left ring finger. No brand new trick, no conspiracy.

  23. Hubbahun says:

    FFS is the woman not allowed to wear a ring without her motives being questioned?

  24. fabgrrl says:

    It’s a diamond ring and …?? Doesn’t EVERY diamond ring “look like an engagement ring”? I’m asking because I don’t really know what makes a ring an “engagement ring” instead of a regular ring. My engagement ring was an inexpensive, but personally meaningful, sapphire. It’s on her ring finger, but not on the left hand. I’ve found it uncomfortable to wear a ring on any finger but my ring finger, but again, I’m not a ring person.

  25. Roma says:

    Yah! I think we’ve finally reached the tipping point when people think this JA backlash is kind of insane. Good to see.

    I have what looks like an engagement ring that I wear on my right hand. It has a lot of sentimental value to me. As people above have posted – she’s worn this ring before.

    She smiles at the paps, she’s “sly”. If she was grumpy, the headline would have been “Justin and Jen break up after last vacation to keep it together.” It’s gross to watch.

    • Sal says:

      So when are people going to reach that ‘tipping point’ with AJ? Oh, thats right, there is no tipping point with her, nothing is too insane to attack her for. It really all makes me sick, the hypocrisy I mean.

  26. jesstar says:

    So this wonan can’t wear a ring on the hand that is not meant for engagement/wedding rings without it meaning she’s trying to preasure her guy to marry her? That’s pretty pathetic. And I’m not refering to Jenn A.

  27. Kim says:

    This is proof she has no real talent/career and wants to be in the tabloids.

    She is so purposely holding her sunglasses with the ring with the finger showing so all the paps would see it & photograph it. Pathetic. This girl, who isnt pretty & has no talent who hit the jackpot with Friends & more so by marrying Brad, needs to fade away.

  28. moonriver says:

    She actually has a ring in her left hand that she’s not flashing around for photo-ops. Oh jen, you sly fox.
    Jk.
    I honestly don’t think she wants to get married again or have kids, its just good PR and helps her seem relatable to talk about. I don’t care if she wants to do either, its her decision.

  29. sweetshell says:

    Does he ever wear anything else but black boots/shoes and a black jacket? Same look everyday! Ughh……..

  30. sup says:

    oh god get rid of the jackets girl. for one thing, they don’t make you look like a new yorker or intellectual, everybody knows you’re a valley girl who can’t stand ny anyway. and you’re already manly looking so what you want is to dress in more flattering, feminine stuff. this looks harsh on you. i remember sharon stone used to go everywhere with her genius stylist who made her dress in super feminine things which complimented her stern features. stop trying to emulate others ja. know thyself, and dress accordingly.

    • Janet says:

      ^^This.

      It cracks me up seeing her pretending to be brainy like Theroux when she has nothing but vacuum between the ears.

      • sup says:

        i have a feeling theroux is not so brainy himself. it’s pathetic because she’s posing to emulate a poser

      • Vesper says:

        I agree. Before Justin, was Jen ever pictured with reading glasses, not to mention reading glasses hanging off her neckline? This is why people say she comes across as a ditz. For her, appearance is everything.

  31. Raven says:

    She has such beautiful shoes, anybody know the brand name of those wedges? Thanks!

  32. BELLA says:

    If its a diamond,she paided for it.
    What a joke !She dresses like crap with him… at this late day in “her” game she still cant make up her own mind!
    ANGIE MUST BE A GIANT BREATH OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!NOTHING BUT A CASH COW FOR JUSTIN… HE WILL CHEAT IF HE HASNT ALREADY.

  33. NYC_girl says:

    I like her belt. The jacket has to go.

  34. bubbles says:

    okay a few things:

    1. these pictures were taken in the span of most likely TWO seconds. So that gesture of holding her glasses is most likely just a split second act…let’s not extrapolate an entire personality trait assumption from it.

    2. as a lot of posters have mentioned, she’s had that ring on that finger for OVER a year now. don’t see why she should suddenly divest of her bling because people will assume she MEANT to generate tabloid speculation by wearing it on the wrong finger. HOW ridiculous does that sound? Effectively we are holding her responsible for us jumping to conclusions/being stupid…

    3. how is travelling through LAX where EVERY PAP is stationed screaming for attention?

    4. If anyone thinks she calls the paps – sorry, you are just delusional, so can’t take the rest of your comment seriously. Aniston does NOT have to worry about not generating pap attention any time soon.

    5. Overall, I think these two are low key (considering how big of a paparazzi magnet Jen is). Don’t do premieres together. don’t even try to do the same events together. Even when they go to events, it’s not widely televised. I think they are doing as much as they can (without being locked up in their house) to not draw attention to themselves.

    6. sup – honey. calm down. based on your comments, you’d think she was your sister who stole your partner and still managed to stay the favourite in the family…

    • Mira says:

      +100,000

    • sup says:

      i am perfectly calm of course… however i believe you must be a tad obsessed that you actually went through the thread to check my comments… how pathetic… *eyeroll*

      • sup says:

        so you actually went through every jeniston thread? and read and counted all my comments? wow… i think you need to calm down dearie! i’m sure you gathered by now, i’m not nearly the only person who criticizes or rather mocks her… and i don’t just write bitchy comments for ja either. good luck tracking down every single negative comment i wrote on this site… jesus

    • Sal says:

      “If anyone thinks she calls the paps – sorry, you are just delusional,”
      EVERY celeb calls the paps, if you think she doesn’t, *you* are plain delusional and naive. You have a lot to learn.
