On Monday, Jennifer Aniston was photographed on the set of We’re the Millers, that film where she’s playing a stripper or hooker masquerading as a wife and mom. We didn’t have access to the photos, but you can see them here – she was photographed wearing a grey robe and flip-flops, in between costumes and such. What was notable was that the photographer didn’t get a shot of Jennifer’s new engagement ring. She managed all the right angles, positioned and draped fabric just the right way so that the photographer didn’t get the shot. What does it mean? Does it mean that Justin hasn’t picked out a ring yet? Does it mean that Jennifer didn’t want her big ring debut to be while she was wearing a robe and slippies? I don’t even know. Life & Style claims that THEY know, though. They claim that Justin gave Jennifer a giant emerald-cut diamond ring:
Justin Theroux certainly knows the way to his lady’s heart! Just four days after Justin proposed to his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, on his 41st birthday, Life & Style, on newsstands tomorrow, can reveal exclusive details about Jen’s much-talked-about ring!
“It’s a huge emerald-cut diamond,” a friend of Jen’s tells Life & Style. “It’s a rectangle with tapered diamond baguettes on the sides.”
The source estimates the ring to be 8 carats, adding, “It’s beautiful.”
And the 43-year-old actress is beaming with happiness.
“Just after Jen got engaged, she called all her friends and told them about it,” the friend reveals. “She was so happy and said she loves the ring. I think she was overwhelmed and overjoyed by the size and beauty of it!”
Though the duo are very protective of their personal lives, Jen has revealed just how great it is to be in the relationship.
“I’m very happy,” Jen has said about her personal life with Justin. “I’m extremely lucky, and I’m extremely happy.”
“Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want,” she’s also said. “As I get older, I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me — and what I won’t settle for.”
The couple have been dating for more than a year since meeting on the set of Wanderlust in May 2011. Before meeting Jen, Justin dated Heidi Bivens for 14 years. Jen was married to actor Brad Pitt in 2000 and finalized their divorce in October 2005.
I love a good emerald cut. Emerald-cuts are maybe my second favorite after Asscher cuts, although in the past decade, Asscher cuts have grown in popularity to the point where they just don’t seem as special anymore. Sigh… what were we talking about? Ah, yes. Jennifer and the ring. I hope she got a nice one. I hope Justin picked it out himself and that he has a good eye for jewelry. I’m not sure if I buy Life & Style’s story, but I do think it’s strange that no jeweler has come out, proclaiming that Justin Theroux bought from their boutique. Hm.
By the way, yesterday Jezebel ran a strange piece about Aniston and our (society’s) continuing interest in the state of her womb, and how we should all just leave her alone, pity party, etc, and why oh why does this never happen to George Clooney? I’ll say what I always say – Jennifer did this to herself, she brought all of the speculation on herself because she talked about having babies for years and years and even in that infamous Vanity Fair interview in 2005, she was still claiming that she wanted babies and of course Brad did not leave her because of the lack of babies, etc. I would be fine if Jennifer came out and said, “Yeah, I never really cared about having babies.” You know, because that’s what George Clooney always says or indicates – he’s not interested in having a wife. He’s not interested in babies. He’s honest about it when asked, which is why his private life gets treated differently – because he sets up a different set of expectations. Just my opinion. This is just to prepare all of you for 20 million tabloid covers proclaiming “Jennifer Aniston: A wedding AND a baby!” and “JustJen’s Twins and a Greek Elopement” etc.

Hurray!
Wedding of the Century? Really? I mean, seriously? lmao
Good for her. Hopefully the fans and tabloids can let go of the Jen/Brad/Angie thing now.
I laughed so hard at ‘Wedding of the Century’
I hate what I am about to say, but I feel like gossip sites conditioned me to compare Jen and Angelina. When I heard that Jen’s ring is an Emrald cut the first thing I was thinking was: OMG, Brad gave Angelina an Emerald ring, poor Jen, everyone will compare them. Well I compared them myself and I haaate it! Gossip problems.
This is also the first thing I thought! Emerald cut? Check. Tapered side baguettes? Check.
Sadly, it was the first thing I thought of as well…
Hahaha! A year to design a ring with your jeweler and all anyone retained was “emerald cut with tapered baguettes”. LMAO!
me too!
I thought the same thing. Wasn’t her engagement ring from BP round though? So either way, she couldn’t win. She’s either copying Angelina if there’s so much as a hint of an angle on it or if it’s round at all her new fiancee is trying to be the new Brad in her life. It must really suck to be Jennifer Aniston sometimes.
Actually, the ring Pitt gave Jolie looked more like a large baguette flanked by smaller baguettes. If it is in fact an emerald cut it is the narrowest emerald cut diamond I have ever seen.
If you look at it closely, the bottom of the tabloid has Jolie’s pic next to the words “RIVAL BRIDE”. Sighh… 🙁
How is she going to steal Theanis’s day when she got engaged first?
Is this going to be linked forever? Why did I ask that?
“Is this going to be linked forever? Why did I ask that?”
—-> I know, right? I can’t help asking that to myself, too. 😀
….But Rhea, haven’t you heard? Jen cried so much when Brad told her about the engagement. Frankly Justin did not know what to do. She cried all through Europe…what girl doesn’t love a 5star vacay? Not our Jen. That Angelina stole her husband, is getting married and has an emerald-esque diamond to boot. Frankly Justin was at the end of his tether so he called up Heidi who conferenced in Brad for a solution to the tears. vote was unanimous. propose with an emerald diamond. And voila! jen is happy again. Justin can go pick out a new bike to go with his new hipster wardrobe now that he has commited to LA. 🙂
@LAK: too funny….true too;) lol
@LAK : LOL. Oh, how I love reading the triangle’s gossip with you, LAK! 😀
@Rhea – right back at you 🙂 this triangle of doom is so ridiculous, and taken so seriously by all their fans….we may as well have fun with it.
BTW, my morning walk to work goes past a newsagent…..Grazia magazine’s new edition had dropped this morning with cover saying that Justjen had broken up…..given how much they are so pro Jen, it must be killing them to be caught out telling downright lies.
I mean i know many of their stories are fabrications, but this….and they are supposed to be the no 1 gossip mag in UK!!!
@LAK : Tee-hee. Must be embarrassing for them. I think they would next print a story that Jen forced him to choose between breaking up or going to the next step. That’s the only way to save their face. 😀
And ITA. A gossip should be taken with a grain of salt. It’s more fun that way. 😉
I just did it myself too. We’ve been conditioned to think this way. They have all been connected since 2005 and now it seems impossible to think of one without the other two.
I need a reprogramming. Maybe MK at DListed should start a side business.
That was the first thing I thought, as well. The second thing I thought was, “how could he possibly have afforded a ring that size on his own?”
Meh.
The Sessiest Woman Ever has The Wedding of The Century! *eye roll*
I Know!!! How ridiculous is this cover, did she pay Life & Style for that dumb headline. Wedding of the century???? BWahahahhaahha, give me a break. She is just more and more pathetic…
Right? It reminded me of when KK got married and it was all The Royalest Wedding of Douchemerica! Or however it went. 😉
How daaaaaaare you suggest that any wedding that will take place in the next 80-odd years could possibly top love’s young boho-hipster dream up there.
I’m sure it’ll be lovely and all (the official photo from her last wedding is pretty much my favourite of all time), but for reals how is Angie “stealing her thunder” when she got engaged FIRST and was long been rumoured to tie the knot this summer?!?
But fun and all as it is to f*ck with AJ, I do strongly suspect that this whole thing is more of a dig at John Mayer who is back from the publicity wilderness. The timing was incredibly good luck for them.
That wedding photo really is one of the best ever.
Brad was a lifetime ago. Let it go. That has nothing to do with Justin and Jennifer. The baby speculation is also ridiculous. Until Jennifer’s ovaries completely shrivel up there will be endless speculation about these phantom babies she is planning to have. And comparing the rings? Oh please…
I think maybe she had some frozen, hence the one day I’ll have babies stance. I think she froze them ages ago after brad and intended to make use of them at some point but realized she was fine never doing so.
This whole thing makes my skin crawl. She’s too old to be a ‘blushing bride’. If it’s ‘real’ she needs to quietly get married and move on with her life. But it all seems staged and bullshizzy, to me. And the whole ‘once she is married her life will be complete’ message is disgusting.
Realistically, her marriage will be nothing more than a publicity stunt to boost her dwindling career and a financial contract.
So cynical.
You’re never too old to find love. Why can’t she be a blushing bride at 41? People that hold off finding love till later life statistically have a lower rate of divorce than somebody in their early – mid twenties who rushed into it. FACT.
I am soooo happy for them. They are an adorable couple.
43
I’ll drink to that! You couldnt pay me to get married in my 20’s. I could never pledge the rest of my life when I have barely lived. I think early to mid 30’s and beyond is smart…and yes, I plan to be a blushing bride if it happens, even if I’m 90!
correct.
Bea, is it a publicity stunt? Probably. Shoud she be forced to go get married quietly in a dive bar somewhere because she’s ‘too old’ to enjoy a big wedding? That’s just idiotic.
Ditto
Too old? Wow. She is hardely old! And if they want a big wedding, let them! Personally, I think they make an odd couple but if they are happy, they are happy.
Still stuck on the too old comment though. I am 42, thankfully I am already married with kids, otherwise sounds likey chances of doing it my way amd not being judged by others would be shot. 🙁
To old? I am 39 and just got married 7 days ago and let me tell you I felt like a giddy little school girl during the entire process. It was absolutely amazing and I still feel like I am on cloud nine. I was and am a blushing bride.
Congratulations!!
congratulations
Congratulations! It’s a wonderful time.
But seriously, I was a 43 year bride myself. Trust me. There is a VAST difference between a meaningful and lovely personal wedding day and a “Wedding of the Century” type dog and pony show. Everyone deserves the first. The second will make her look old and desperate and jeopardize his hipster cred.
Congratulations x I hope you had a magical day x
Funny how everything you have just said fits Angie to a T also. She will be a bride at 37 – her third time down the aisle. And after shacking up with Brad for 7 years and having 6 kids it does reek of publicity. Even Barbara Walters said it was ridiculous and purely for publicity/monetary reasons. They are the ones who should just quietly do it for the kids who are begging for it. And I always wondered why do the kids know they are not married and why does it bother them?? Don’t they feel secure with their parents??
Well, if Barbara Walters, unquestionably, the most amazing mind of this century says that Brad and AJ are getting married for publicity/monetary reasons, then it MUST be so…(rolling my eyes)
ITA Bea, great post!
She is waaaaaay too old for this type of cover and once again is perpetuating that woman are not complete unless they get married.
Funny how all she did for the last few yrs while she was repeatedly dumped was say she didn’t need a man to be happy.
yet the minute she gets engaged she makes sure her publicist alerts the media!!???!!
she so f%$#ing pathetic.
After 7 years, I’m completely skeptical when it comes to PR stories about Jen. No one was talking about JustJen any more, but now they are, How about that.
Yes, Angie’s ring is an Emerald cut … there was a whole magazine article about how it’s her favorite cut of stone.
Personally? I think Jen’s PR guru will come out with a denial in a couple of weeks, saying ‘Jen doesn’t know ‘how’ this rumor got started (wink, wink). Jen and Justin had a romantic, private birthday celebration. Yes, he gave Jen a ring, but it’s not an ‘engagement’ ring. Why are people so interested in Jen’s love life and her womb?’
Whatever.
meh, I don’t care, but for the people who do care, they’ll probably see it sometime this weekend..
JA: happy birthday, my inky-haired juice box! You just proposed to me and as your gift, I have accepted.
JT: what?
JA: (fumbling in new Tom Ford bag) for now you are giving me this, but you will be picking up an eight carat emerald cut gob smacker in a few days at Cartier!
JT: oh, right, okay.
JA: I am so happy! Take a picture of me for Huvie will you?
JT: right, yeah, ok
JA: they are interviewing daddy right now! What are you doing?
JT: calling Heidi to tell her —
JA: phone down!
JT: oh, right! Ok
JA: we are very happy!
JT: totally. This was a good move.
JA: what?
JT: I need new pants
JA: right, yeah
Hahahahaha!!
🙂
Bahahahaha inky haired juice box!!
“I need new pants.” LOL
Hahahaha. Brilliant.
lol
LOL!
Comment of the week lol.
HAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS HILARIOUS!
The question I have is if those two directing gigs Justin scored (Warnerbros’ and zoolander 2) are on his own merit or due to relationship with Jen.
I find it strange that within 15 months, a guy who notoriously dumped a gf of 14 years, buys a huuuge estate with a partner richer than him and in a city he doesn’t like. And how her usually talkative bff like Cox have not come out in his support.
Whatever happens, it will just be a page in the book for Jen. Just turn it and move on. Wish her the best.
Justin’s relationship with Jennifer certainly hasn’t hurt in the opportunity department.
From a PR perspective it’s important to them both that Justin now be able make the most of his opportunities.
As such Justin will be given the “rising star treatment” and all the creative assistance he requires in order to succeed.
He’s being groomed for the fast track and the sky is the limit for Justin.
Justin got those on his own merit. He’s been directing and acting and screenwriting for ages. He did ironman and the Charlie’s angels revamp. He has some big time Hollywood friends which is why I think he isn’t threatened by Jens money and fame
“…he isn’t threatened by Jens money and fame.”
—–> Oh, he’s loving it, that’s for sure! 😉
🙂
But he was doing it all in virtual anonymity. Now he is Mr Jen Aniston, he seems to be enjoying the tabloids/gossip media exposure. This from a man who previously claimed to abhor all of that.
Just to be clear, they did not buy the property together. As stated in the original report, Aniston purchased and owns the property – Justin is just living there with her.
OMG this chick is soooo unbelievably insipid. She’s not beautiful, she is pretty. She can’t act beyond silly comedic situations. Looking at her and Angelina is like comparing Kay with Cartier. No wonder Brad ditched the witch.
Comedy acting is WAY harder to pull off (and look like you’re not trying) than dramatic acting. Just ask any actor. The phrase “Dying is easy, comedy is hard” exists for a reason. I’d like to see Angelina in a comedic role. I don’t think she could do it. All she can play are psychos, skanks, and spies! Oh, and sad mommies. 😉
I think JT and JA will adopt. I think Jen wants 1 kid. She certainly didn’t want 6, and that’s the kind of # Brad was wanting from her. She dodged a bullet. Having grown up in a family twice as big, I can tell you that while big families ARE fun, the parents can’t give enough attention to each kid, and kids fall through the cracks.
If you are married for keeps SUPPOSEDLY you should be on the same page when it comes to children FROM THE BEGINNING. Before Brad married Aniston he stated on more than one occasion that we wanted a large family. Not ONCE can you find a quote… nor by action did Jen support a large family lifestyle. Thank God he did NOT give up his desire for a large family because he has it now.
I do believe Jen will go for a baby. Which will, once again, have bloggers conflicted in opinion since what she says does not match what she does.
@valleymiss – Our family lacked a lot of the material extras, but I don’t think anyone ever wanted for attention or love. Coming from a family larger than the Jolie-Pitt fam, it irks me when people (who themselves were raised in smaller families) say they can’t possibly pay enough attention to that many kids. I’m sure it’s hard work, but my parents managed it.
That being said, while it was indeed fun growing up as a member of a large family, I do not know how all of us did not drive my parents crazy. 🙂
(I feel like I have to add a disclaimer here that I’m not trying to invalidate your experience, just offering a slightly different perspective. Everyone’s family is different and everyone’s experience is different, but I feel like too many people from the usual 2.4-kids sized families get judgy and figure you MUST be neglected if you’re from a large family.)
@Josephina – absolutely, you MUST agree on children. It’s a legitimate deal-breaker. (Not saying you can’t change your mind, but if you do, all bets are off.)
“psychos, skanks,”
Oh? I understand that is Aniston’s forte. It is her in real life, after all.
As for acting, comedy is easy if you have the skills. Aniston has no comedic timing. Lets see her do REAL acting such as a drama or thriller. Of course she want because she can’t act. She’ll never be nominated for an Oscar.
ITA with Josephina. She lead Brad on, she should have been honest and not married him, because its more than obvious she wants 0 children. Brad dodged a bullet when the penny dropped with that Aniston was a lying scheming bitch.
then go watch Angelina’s movies, she’s done comedic roles, like most talented actresses she challenges herself and plays different characters.
Mr Maniston on the other hand has what they call”Schtick” and she plays every role with that exact same Rachel Green way.
This is not the type of comedy those quotes are referring too, they are talking about naturals not sitcom schtick.
you could take any Chinnifer character she’s played and put that in another of her movies and nobody would notice a difference.
switch her in marley and me, and the break up, just go with it, love happens.
all the same person.
I agree with valleymiss- Comedy is much harder than drama and well known to be such. Not all great actors can do both. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but has Daniel Day-Lewis ever done a comedy? And he’s one of the finest actors working today.
I know that I’m going to get slaughtered for saying this, but I think Jen may actually be a better actor than people think; especially those that hate her. Now if she would only stop doing those stupid romcoms, we could find out.
I don’t get the ‘comedy is more difficult’ bit. If comedy was truly so celebrated and difficult, wouldn’t it play a larger part in the Oscars? I can see where comedians have to have to good timing, and you either have that talent or you don’t, but I don’t see where it would be more difficult. Aniston does comedies, and it works for her. Jolie does dramas, and it works for her. Personally I can’t see either actress successfully switching genres. Do I think Aniston has a more limited range? Yes. And since I prefer Jolie’s parts/movies, I enjoy her more as an actress. That’s just me though.
Zoid: Comedy is harder because you can’t fake funny.
Drama relies on a set of techniques used in conjunction with a natural gift for acting. You can use different defined methods in a dramatic performance.
Comedy is more honest and real. Comedy is about timing and feeling the audience. Comedy is even harder on film since you don’t really have an audience. You have a bunch of salty crew members who really don’t care about your performance.
You have to have a natural ability to be funny-everyone can tell when someone is trying to be funny and failing. You know that funny kid in class? Can everyone be that funny kid? No.
“If comedy was truly so celebrated and difficult, wouldn’t it play a larger part in the Oscars?”
Well it isn’t celebrated, number one.
Number two, I feel that the Oscars are more attuned to drama because comedies typically have really thin or bad stories that are merely props for the jokes that someone wants to tell.
Comedy, by it’s very nature, doesn’t require a lot of back story or any story at all.
Aside from my personal feelings, the Oscars have always been notoriously genre-biased anyway. It doesn’t matter how good a comedy is, the Academy likes what it likes and that is dramas of all varieties.
And number 3, comedies, by and large, aren’t very good. They have bad stories, are poorly made and are structurally lacking. Romantic comedies are especially insipid and stupid.
“I can see where comedians have to have to good timing, and you either have that talent or you don’t…”
Boom, you just got it right there. You have it or you don’t. Drama can be taught, comedy can’t. That is why it’s infinitely more difficult than drama.
Aniston has been in dramas before-she’s ok. Not bad and not terribly good. The Good Girl did fairly well and was received well. Friends With Money is great and was a really interesting role for her. She has definitely been successful in switching genres.
Jolie’s only foray into comedy was Life or Something Like It and it was absolutely awful. Irredeemably awful.
So really, Aniston has a more successful track record when it comes to switching from drama to comedy and technically has more range if you are talking solely about comedy and drama.
I think Jolie was funny in MAMS. IMO, she’s good when it’s comedy mixed with action. Same as Jennifer is at her best when it’s romantic comedy plotline.
I agree, Angelina was funny in MAMS and Jennifer has her moments as well in her romcoms.
And this part isn’t to Rhea, but those who insist that Jennifer is this great comedic actress so far and beyond Angelina. Really? Name an iconic moment from any of those movies. Lucille Ball has the candy factory, stomping grapes, and many others, often while not speaking. While Jennifer doesn’t have that iconic comedic moment in any of her films or tv work.
Jennifer does have timing and delivers her niche but she still can’t carry a movie on those skills. She doesn’t steal scenes with those skills, and most importantly, people would be hard pressed to describe a great comedic moment of hers. She really doesn’t go the distance on anything and put herself out there for comedy or any other role. There is no risk, no looking stupid, no attempts to get out of her niche, not even messed up hair, etc.
It’s like they are thinking of someone else’s career when speaking of Jennifer Aniston’s comedic talent.
You are really overly invested in the lives of strangers.
what a useless comment
one could say the same for you, as you are invested in another poster who is a stranger to you.
“Wedding the Century” is pushing it a tiny bit, no?
Exactly. Joke of the Day.
ITA keep playing the same role Jen you know your acting range.Let other ladies like Sandra, Reese, Cameron, Nicole etc do comedies and dramas.Angelina acknowledges comedy is not for her.So she does dramas, action, animated, thrillers…
Just like Hottest Woman Of All Time was pushing it a tiny bit, but Huvane goes big for superlatives.
🙄
Poor Kim K, Life&Style only gave HER wedding of the year 😉
Emerald cut with tapered baguettes is my favorite ring style. Of course, who knows what it actually is. Half the tabloids on the shelf at the supermarket were declaring them broken up.
Wedding of the Century? Good grief, L&S, give it a rest.
Pmsl 😀
(should have posted in reply to Liberty under #8)
I don’t think she will have a baby unless she froze some eggs. Very hard to get pregnant at 43, also Down’s Syndrome chance is like 1 in 8. I agree, she probably never has found it necessary to have kids, and I don’t blame her–everyone has their own paths.
Also, who knows what happened in her family–she’s pretty estranged from them, I’m sure that somewhat would influence her decision.
I agree especially a first pregnancy at this age she will be 44 in Feb.Although she has being looking puffy lately.Before its mentioned I dont believe the miscarriage rumor.Lastly she told Extratv adoption was not for her when the Mexican orphan story came out.
I’m really happy for you JustJen and I’mma let you finish, but Will and Kate had the wedding of the century.
Ha! Lol
And just think, we only have 88 years to go. Ridiculous.
No, pretty sure K Kardashian already had the ‘wedding of the century’ being American royalty and all (gag).
I just want to see her married already to see if the tabloids stop mentioning the Brangelina.
Quintessential homeliness. You go, Smilin’ Bob.
Hahaha. She’s so transparent. She got exactly what she wanted. She released a statement at the perfect time, right before the weekly tabloids go to print. I don’t know why her fans are so blind to her blatant attention whoring. I wish her nothing but happiness but her fans are idiots.
EXACTLY. took the words right outta my mouth.
I’m not a Brangeloonie or JustJen fan, but isn’t the timing of all this rather suspicious? Pitt and Jolie get engaged, the wedding is rumored to be this past weekend (it wasn’t) and John Mayer is in the midst of a high profile fling with Katy Perry – and suddenly Aniston gets engaged? Justin was with his previous GF for 14 years and avoided marriage like the plague, but decides in less than 2 to marry Jen? Maybe because 1) Heidi didn’t insist on marriage, and Jen did, and 2)somebody’s bank account has alot more digits in it.
I guess you’ll have to add me to the “cynical” column.
Yeah, that crossed my mind too. The timing is a bit suspect. What would Jen be without the Brad angle? Friends finished ages ago and she’s not exactly a first-rate actress.
How about the possibility that Justin loves Jen and wants to marry her. What a strange concept.
He also loves her $110mil plus the attention he has been getting since they dates her. I do hope she has a prenup.
You do realize this is real life and not one of her rom-com movies?
@ Lillibeth
The difference is the Brange rumour is started by the tabloids on friday and debunked on the same day by Pitt’s rep.
Whereas the other couple got supposedly engaged on friday, stayed mum till sunday so as to make headlines, and painted it as if they were being considerate to the Brange. They KNEW there was no Brange wedding on friday itself. And since then there have been 3 statements by their reps and one more coming out this weekend, I m sure.
You decide which couple genuinely wants public attention.
Ps. I dont care if they want it, but in that process they always drag Brange down with them.
He loves her money, honey.
I don’t doubt that he does want to marry her, it’s the timing of the announcement that is suspect.
So much of what we read is PR manufactured by agents/managers that it’s difficult to weed out the truths. Example: Brangie’s Reported Weekend Weeding at Chateau Miraval
Michael Latz, Mayor of the Village of Correns, denied a report in HELLO magazine that quoted him as saying Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were set to wed at their chateau that weekend or this coming weekend. He states he doesn’t even know who or what HELLO is and that he is taking action for the lie.
http://www.examiner.com
As for the ring, the description is so similiar to the unimaginative ring Brad is said to have designed for Angie that I wonder if they aren’t just sharing one ring per two couples? Just tired of all the B.S. Both couples are well on the road to past their prime so get on with it already.
This is absolutely the best time for JA to become engaged, because there will be WAY more publicity with all the comparisonS to her engagement and wedding to Brad and Angies…Anniston is not a great actress, but she is the BEST at scoring the most publicity as possible…
According to the cover story for people magazine Justjen have plans to start a family… Justjen 4 ever 🙂
And this is why people call her out on her fraud. Didn’t she recently say in an interview that marriage AND children are not necessary to be happy? But yet in the first official (and we know they are official)comments after the engagement, children are mentioned.
I think at this point Aniston is so damn addicted to the PR war/image that she dosn’t care or remember what she claims from one day to the next.
yup, she did.
She is a flip flopping liar, attention wh0re.
I read CDAN’s analysis and E!’s. I agree with them that the timing is suspicious and there was something off about John Aniston’s “joke”.
Sigh I really don’t want to think that Jenny-poo is STILL this desperate for attention. I really would love to be wrong. I really think it would be great for everyone if they are all happily safely in their corners and married off. Jen may get plenty of attention for getting married heck she may even dust off some frozen eggs and have a “Miracle Baby” but I think in the end this is really the nail on the coffin of her already dying career. Happy Jen doesn’t need anyone’s sympathy or attention so the Pity Party will transfer their energy towards someone who does. Unless her movies start actually being good she’s going the way of Kate Hudson before her into permanent irrelevancy. So I hope she actually is happy with Justin because if not its going to get really sloppy really soon and not pretty to watch.
After years of watching Jen’s machinations, I side-eye everything that comes out from her camp.

mln hi
I actually disagree with you about her career. I think she’ll continue as long as brange is extant. She’s definitely shown her pr flair. Somehow it’ll be linked to the brange. But I have few questions and would welcome your opinion.
1. How long will this relationship last? She’s got movies lined up for 2013 and Theroux has got directing gigs. So it’s career suicide for him to seperate before 2014 atleast. What do you think?
2. Do you think she’s pregnant/ planning to adopt? If she does this triangle is going to extend to the next generation – comparison of the two couples’ kids and even their careers.
3. It’s obvious to any sane person that she’s not over her feud. And we fans know that Angie is above it. But do you think Brad handles all pr and so he will plot to oneup her?
Comparing Jen to Kate Hudson is not really a fair comparison. Jen has had a remarkable career & her bank account reflects it. Kate’s career was sinking fast in her 20’s. Jen’s has endured into her 40’s. Maybe Jen is winding it down & is ready to support Justin’s endeavors. Just a thought.
Kate Hudson was actually Oscar nominated early on in her career for a dramady [drama/comedy] type role. She had a good run, headlines her own films to some success, albight dwindling. Jen has yet to demonstrate stand alone BO success or critical acclaim.
Jen’s career is better compared to other TV stars turned movie stars eg Michael Douglas, Denzil Washington, Will Smith, George Clooney, Demi Moore, Meg Ryan, Julianne Moore etc. It’s a fairer comparison.
As for the money…..TV stars make alot more money than film stars because their work is more consistent. You have to reach a certain level of variables before you can really get the big pay checks in films. TV money is a reflection of rights sold to syndication and not a reflection of how good the actor or product is. eg David Hasslehoff made insane money off of Baywatch. Would you say he is a great actor or that Baywatch is a great programme?
In terms of her actual career it absolutely is winding down. She earns less per film then she did several years ago on Industry power lists her rankings are consistently lower every year. With the realities of the film industry being what they are(bad economy causing the death of rom-coms and need for bigger blockbuster hits) she’s aging out and every year she’s marginalized a bit more hence the onslaught of press releases to the contrary.
I don’t think whether or not they last or procreate or breakup the triangle carries much weight in the gossip world so I’m not going to gander to guess what Aniston’s future plans are. The story is in effect written. We have real gossip developments and younger stars taking over the headlines. As much as the Aniston engagement is selling I don’t think it’s getting the same headlines it would have a couple of years ago. I really think this is the happy ending that minivans have been waiting for and she’s tied up her narrative in a little bow.
Fair enough…
@mln76: Excellent comments/theories, I agree with you.
LOL! Emerald cut with tapering baguettes? Guess who else has one of those?
You can add me to the cynical list too c/ this was a complete PR move. I don’t think it just happened she ended up engaged the same weekend as the rumored wedding. It’ll be interesting to watch it all play out.
That cover makes me laugh. How can Jolie be the “rival bride” trying to steal Aniston’s thunder, she got engaged months ago ! If anything Jen is trying to be, although for her sake I really hope she isn’t as it would be incredibly childish.
Actually, I’m marveling at the fact that L & S gave Angelina’s GG ‘trash bag dress’ a bridal makeover.
And I will believe that this rivalry is two-sided when we get details about the how, when and where of Brad’s proposal to Angelina, and so far, not a flipping peep.
pwal: I KNEW that dress wasn’t white. I was trying to place it and now it’s clicked into place, thank you.
Eight carats? She will not be able to lift her hand to wave at us peasants.
That ring’s got more carats than Bugs Bunny.
Why would she be wearing her engagement ring on the set of a new movie? What are you going to do, take it on and off 20 times a day while you’re filming scenes? Actors and actresses don’t wear their own jewelry.
And talk about rubbing it in Heidi’s face. They just had to give details about getting engaged in New York.
These two have bad Karma coming their way in spades
Interesting that they don’t mention how much the ring costs – seems that’s usually the case with other engaged celebs. Wonder if he actually paid for it himself?
Anyhow, it’s not a bad end for her, Brad Pitt is really NOT aging well (// Johnny Depp). And everything they do to look still young and rebel is extremely ridiculous.
Theroux is very pleasant for the eyes. As he never says a word, I don’t know about the rest…
I have a emeral cut with baquettes my husband bought me 7 yrs ago. I guess I was copying Angie. People and their views on life change. Relationships change. I wanted kids, couldnt have them due to female reproductive issues, so I guess I am barren. Am I to be mocked and laughed at? Not every woman wants a child, and not in a commited relationship. We are not all the same. If Brad doesnt believe in god, then why believe in marriage? Isnt it actually a ceremony performed reuniting two people before god? I use to like him, but IMO, I feel he should have married Angie years ago. She is the mother of his children, and she deserves that much. He cant commit to a place to live, why commit to marriage? And no I am not living in my parents basement eating cheetos, and you can argue amongst yourselves.
NO ONE here is mocking anyone who can’t have children. What is being taken with a grain of salt is the use of a “baby watch” as a tired publicity ploy for a middle aged and mediocre acting career.
BTW, people don’t need to believe in god to love each other-with or without a religious commitment. Legally they are entangled as any married couple could be.
As for a place to live, that’s a pretty facile criticism to make against people whose profession call on them to travel.
As people are discussing Jen’s acting skills, I’m not a fan of her romcom’s but I thought she was fantastic in Derailed (I thought it worked because she came across as the girl next door who turned out to be a hustler, although I would have preferred it if her and her partners roles had been switched. Would have made the film much more interesting). I wish she had progressed to do more films like that instead of settling back into romcom’s.
Agreed. Here and there she has that spark, like The Good Girl and Management. But then she goes and does something like Bounty Hunter :/
Lucinda the sexy con artist in Derailed was an interesting departure for her. I really liked her in The Good Girl as she really acted in what I consider her most non Jen/Rachel role ever, the end.
Hahahaha! OMG she got a huge emerald-cut ring flanked by graduated baguettes?! JUST LIKE ANGELINA!!!
Tabloids are so funny. Somehow I see her as a classic, brilliant cut round solitaire kind of girl. Flashy rings look out of place when you’re wearing yoga pants in Cabo.
Well her new engagement ring surely can’t be any worse than the fug thing she got last go round.
Agreed, that one looked like a snail.
I think all of you Jen haters are still angry that she and Brad are divorced. I wonder who the so called friend is who leaked the kind of ring is that she got, probably Star magazine, who we all know tells the truth at all times.
What in the world are you smoking? Brad unloading that ball and chain was the smartest move he ever made.
Angry? Nah. Happy for him that he has the life he always wanted, but didn’t have with his ex-wife.
you are being funny right?
I just don’t like how she plays the game to her rules. And as more time goes by I feel that I am seeing the real JT who apparently is turning out to be just like her so they really are deserving of one another.
I just think the way he and Aniston treated Heidi B up was disgusting. And we all know why its because of Anistons image of ‘Americas Sweetheart been done wrong’. When she started her affair with JT she wants to shut HB up, which is why HB made the comment she wouldn’t say anything if they didnt. Jen is so passive aggressive to me.
Wedding of the Century? You’ve got to be kidding. Aniston & Huvane have really jumped the shark now. Officially not reading or buying anything with Aniston on the cover anymore. This is just farcical.
Angelina’s ring is a huge “TABLET” cut center stone with smaller tablet cut stones all around the yellow gold band. It is not an emerald cut at all.
Won’t last, she’s crazy.
How much you wanna bet she picked and bought the ring herself.
Eddie munster doesn’t have that kinda cash flow.
My thoughts exactly!!
I am glad to see this happen!!! She deserves all the happiness. A talented, highly educated man who is a virgin to marriage is taking her to the altar; Miss Aniston has received the 1st ring, glad she didn’t have to live with him for 14 years to achieve that. This is lesson to a lot of women that, staying in a relationship for so many years doesn’t guarantee that a man loves you; it simply means that you are not a wifey material. I’m sincerely excited for this cute cute cute couple!
Funny, I didn’t know that marriage and being happy has anything to do with age. The way we all reason when we sit facing the computers!!! We all know a lot about celebrities and how they should live their lives because they are sub-human. Whew!
As a 43 yr old childfree female in a committed relationship
I can see so many reasons why Jen lives the life she lives.
I also was in a 7 year relationship, when that broke I dated several guys and each one taught me what I don’t want to have.
I can imagine having children with a partner in a great relationship. But for cripes sake, but running out an producing a baby as soon as you get married because you can I see it as act of craziness or desperation.
I’m pretty happy with a life without children, knowing that I probably wont have any is quite fine. Never thought of it as item to appear on a bucketlist.
If it happens on its own that a plus, if it doesn’t then that’s life. It is not a pre-requiste for happiness.
I think so many people don’t see that…no wishywashiness there
Jennifer Aniston’s engagement ring is allegedly “a huge emerald-cut diamond”, which she PICKED and PAID for
