This week’s tabloid covers: Jennifer Aniston featured more than usual


Members of the unholy trinity are featured heavily on this week’s tabloid covers, which isn’t that much different from other weeks. Due to all the press both sides have been giving for the holiday release films, the tabloids have a hell of lot more to go on and can just use Brad, Jennifer and Angelina’s quotes along with some “insider” dime store psychology analysis.

My favorite cover is the surprised-looking Aniston on OK! “Obsessed with Angie!”, it reads, along with a bullet list of the ways that Aniston is revealing this so-called obsession. Their teaser article online quotes an insider as calling Aniston “pathetic” for bringing up Angelina so often in recent interviews.


People has Jen grabbing a cute Marley with the title “My year of surprises.” They have an online segment in which she answers user-submitted questions. Aniston says that she learned from dating “That if you start to date somebody, by the third date, you can guarantee I’ll be pregnant with twins. ”


Star pushes Angelina to the side to focus on Brad and Angelina’s “$200 million prenup.” Haven’t we heard this story many times before?


US says that there are problems in Jennifer Lopez’s amazingly long marriage of four years to Marc Anthony. She attended an event without her wedding ring, and US offers other evidence like “they barely spoke” on Thanksgiving and are fighting over the twins. US reported just last week that they spent their first weekend apart (link leads to video) since their twins were born nine months ago. Marc partied at nightclubs in New York and Las Vegas, and was even seen cozying up with Eva Longoria. (Does that woman flirt with everyone? There’s a photo of her touching Russell Crowe’s knee in this week’s Star.) If these two do get divorced I hope details are leaked to the public. Given Anthony’s problems paying his taxes and their expensive taste I would bet they’re way overextended.


In Touch also has an inset on the cover about “Rumors of a Split” for J.Lo and Marc, with “The FEUD” between Angelina and Jen on the cover.


Life & Style takes a softer approach with a focus on new celebrity babies in a “Baby’s First Christmas” issue.


The Enquirer has the sad and very suspicious case of the disappearance of little two year-old Caylee Anthony. The bones of a small child were just found about a half mile from her mother’s house, who was charged with murder even before the discovery.


Globe has a supposed divorce between Laura and George Bush. Since they’re focusing on the money I would bet it just involves Bush selling off some stock or holdings and they’re spinning it into a more sensational story.

    The little Anthony girl story is so devastatingly sad. Especially when compared with a fabricated feud between rich, successful and healthy adults.

  2. Cheyenne says:

    The Globe has been running an “exclusive” on the Bushes supposed divorce proceedings ever since the guy was elected 8 years ago. This must be the most dragged-out “divorce” on record. 🙄

  3. MDD says:

    Hello!! She is in FULL promo mode for her new movie…

  4. mel says:

    Agree with Nina, My heart goes out to Caylee. I cant believe her mother thinks she’s going to get away with what she did to this innocent child.
    And thanks to Nancy Grace for keeping this story in the media.

  5. Granger says:

    Three months ago, I didn’t believe any of the stories painting Aniston as bitter about, or obsessed with, Brad and Angelina. But since reading the comments she’s made in her last couple of interviews about AJ/BP and their kids, I’ve put my disbelief on hold. A lot of people think it’s great that Jen’s “finally” speaking up, but I still think she’d have more credibility if she just flat-out refused to comment on them in any way, shape or form. I don’t care how many times your ex’s new woman brags about her kids or her happy family life — take the high road, Jen, and show people that Angelina’s comments breeze right by you without ruffling a hair on your perfectly coiffed head!

  6. daisy424 says:

    Agree Granger, excellent points.

    I too have been following the Caylee Anthony case for months. If Casey was my daughter, I would have kicked the crap out of her by now. She is a lying, narcissistic bag of shit dust.

  7. Syko says:

    Well stated, Granger.

    The Caylee thing breaks my heart. I simply can not understand how a mother could kill her child.

  8. daisy424 says:

    Not only the killing of her daughter Syko, how she disposed of little Caylee’s body, plastic garbage bags, the chloroform, duct tape, partying at bars after the fact….
    I want a few minutes alone with this little bitch.

  9. Syko says:

    If there’s a conviction, I think the other ladies in prison will take care of her. Nobody likes a child killer.

  10. cee says:

    What the H…!!! All these lies and people who are losing their jobs, their houses and savings areexpected to spend their har earned money on this crap. Well at least they are not ALL focusing on Brad and Angies as they ususally do. I hope they do get married, pre nup or not. I hope people wake up and keep their money in their pockets. This garbage is not worth it. Buy Parents or Good Houskeeping and learn ways to save money, improve your family, get a better job. Trust me I’ve done it and it works. I made a decision to improve my circumstances and I could not do that living through these rich peoples lives and reading all these sesational tabloids (that are 99% wrong most of the time.) They think the public is stupid. Well maybe we were but now we give to Make It Right, we learn about Africa and Darfur and we focus on our country. Well I have probably overstated my case. I like the Jolie Pitt family because they use their celebrity for good.

  11. Syko says:

    That’s why we hang out here, cee! CB and the girls bring us all the gossip and it costs us nothing.

  12. Susan says:

    Granger: I would agree with you except Jennifer did not say a word for 4 years and it never helped her. She was painted as pathetic, lonely, jealous and many blogs said really horrible things about her. Never once have I seen a comment in the last four years about on a blog or in In Touch, US weekly, etc about Jennifer taking the high-road and how great that was. Be honest if Jennifer had said no comment in her this round of interviews – it would have been said that she was still to hurt to talk about it. she can’t even mention Angelina, she is bitter, etc. Regardless of what Jennifer does she will always be critized. I think that she really just doesn’t care anymore. She is saying what she wants to say and lets things fall where they may.

  13. Kelly says:

    Thanks Nancy Grace. I love ya

  14. Obvious says:

    @Susan-I completely agree

  15. so what says:

    I also agree with Susan..also granger???I don’t think Jen has ever said anything about Brangies kids..if she did I never read it anywhere..the only thing she said about AJ, was that she was uncool for saying that she and Brad fell in love on the set of MAMS..and I agree it was uncool..Brad and Jen were still married and living together at the time…

  16. Christina says:

    man i feel SERIOUSLY sorry for JA… seems like she’s never going to live down her marriage to pitt and subequent betrayal…

  17. bros says:

    so what-where have you been the past week? read the GQ interview. CB covered it and it was a huge comment thread about it on this site. she did indeed mention the names of their children.

  18. Kaiser says:

    Love the OK! cover… usually they’re like the wannabe People Mag, trying to suck up to celebs. It’s nice to see an OK! editor with cajones.

    Granger – Doesn’t seeing how bitter and desperate Jennifer *really* is make you do a double-take on all of that stuff over the past four years? I’ve always thought she was a pretty ridiculous woman and her actions over the past few months have just been the confirmation.

  19. M.E. says:

    all of these peole suck.

  20. NotBlonde says:

    Kaiser: I think “bitter” and “jealous” are terms used by the Jennifer Aniston Hate Police.

    You can think that if you like, but understand that there are plenty of people who do not feel the same way as you.

    Also, that Hello cover? Cajones? Please-they say she’s copying Angelina’s style when Jennifer is doing what she’s always done on red carpets. “trashing her in interviews” is now equivalent to calling what someone did “uncool”? AND “showing Brad she has the better body?????” LOL. She’s posed half naked before and no one said it was for Brad and now all of a suddenly everything she does is for Brad? Please. Maybe she’s showing John Mayer what he was missing.

  21. Autumm Leaves says:

    thanks for the covers Celebitchy!! I’m new here and this site R O C K S.

    Heartbreaking about Caylee, but Nancy Grace goes OVERBOARD. There are a LOT of missing children that need the same amount of media attention.

  22. hmm says:

    Aniston’s fans always parse her comments to portray her in the best light possible. She said more than AJ was uncool and it is somewhat disingenuous to act like that’s all she said. And I’m sorry but Jen has been doing the red carpet thing for quite awhile and you have to admit that her behavior with Owen Wilson was a little bit much especially considering that the two are not a couple. I also love the way her fans defend her cover better than she does, because she acted like it just happened accidentally and she couldn’t understand why there is a fuss. Yeah right! She is as media savvy as Angelina and if you are going to call one out for it then by all means call out the other. And isn’t it past time that we act like the supporters of one side or the other is nicer than the other. There are fans on both sides who say hateful and mean things about both women and the JJ posters are no more rabid than the FFers.

  23. NotBlonde says:

    What more did Jennifer Aniston say about Angelina Jolie? Kindly point me to interviews. People trash Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie on these celebrity gossip sites. Neither of them has “trashed” the other.

    The behavior with Owen Wilson might be because they are good friends. I know I hang all over my male friends; it’s just the relationship we have. Maybe she was hugging him and holding him for support since he’s been having some emotional problems lately. You don’t know why she was doing it, so speculating on it is silly. Even my speculation is silly.

    Which cover happened by “accident”? I’m not sure which cover you are talking about.

  24. Autumm Leaves says:

    I am a fan of all actors and would still watch the movies of the unholy trinity of JA, AJ, and BP.

    Regarding JA: Women, if we are over a man, WE. ARE. OVER. HIM. No desperate acts to keep up appearances and attention. I wish JA true happiness, love, and peace. Even Donald and Ivana are friends, same as Bruce and Demi. Someday JA and BP will get there.

    Now nearly 4 years later, BP has built a new life with AJ complete with 6 kids. A man will not go there mentally, emotionally, physically, and psychologically if he’s not in it for the long haul. Judge a man by his actions. You will know his intent.

  25. KatyAlia says:

    Please use ‘Doesn’t seeing how bitter and desperate Jennifer *really* is make you do a double-take on all of that stuff over the past four years?’
    in a sentence that alings with Granger’s ‘Three months ago’
    Point is: Please lose some of your venom.

  26. Codzilla says:

    Daisy: I’m so with you in regards to the Anthony family. The fact that the grandparents are protecting their useless twat of a daughter enrages me. My mother would have called the cops, and warned them that they had ten minutes to show up before she killed me, herself.

  27. Aspen says:

    I always wondered how an egotistical shrew like J-Lo had managed to keep a man for as long as she has.

    I suppose he finally got sick of her shit, huh?

  28. Susan says:

    Kaiser I don’t understand how you love the OK cover. I thought you wanted this whole triangle thing over with? Do you like the triangle?

  29. Jessica says:

    Pfft. I think JA was better off to get out of that marriage with BP when she did. BP is gross & so is AJ.

    I don’t think that JA has been out of line at all, she is allowed to say whatever she wants. Just because it doesn’t fit in with all the AJ lovers, who the hell cares? Although if I was JA I wouldn’t have mentioned the kids in that interview… but she didn’t insult them, she just mentioned them.

    I really think that JA is better looking and she seems like a much better person who doesn’t need to adopt 6 kids and go to africa every week just to be thought of as a good person.

    Ha, I just realized that JA is AJ backwards. Coincidence?

  30. Susan says:

    ” A man will not go there mentally, emotionally, physically, and psychologically if he’s not in it for the long haul. Judge a man by his actions. You will know his intent.” I think that you could have said the same thing for Getty, Jude Law, etc. You never really know what someones intent is. that includes both men and women.

    “No desperate acts to keep up appearances and attention” what exactly are you refering to here. Jen is promoting her movie. She has always been a bit wild. Look at her old rolling stones and last GQ cover. This had nothing to do with Brad except in people’s minds who love to keep this thing going. And as to them being friends. I don’t think so. They have no children so nothing to even talk about. I really don’t think that Jen wants to be friends. I am pretty sure she thinks of him as a total ass at this point.

    Also KatyAlia you must have really praised Jennifer when she didn’t talk for 4 years right? Or were you calling her bitter then to. Be honest anything that Jennifer does you would turn into making her look bad. It is really pathetic.

  31. mojoman says:

    “The Holy Trinity”..LOL that’s a classic! if it’s findings are Caylee’s, RIP my dear sweet child. Your mother will rot in hell!!

  32. Kim says:

    I love the new Jen, whatever she says, atleast people have stopped worhipping on the Brangelina holy grail. All over the blogs, there is so much hate for Brangelina than has been there in the last four years. I couldn’t get why people adored these two adulterers. For that I will not fault her new stance. Besides, even when she was not saying anything about them, tabloids claimed she was obsessed about them and kept Shiloh’s photo. Now let her expose them for the rats that they are. OK obviously is one of the tabloids controlled by Brangelina PR machine. Don’t they get anonymous faxes about the goings on in Brangelina land? The donations and pregnancy rumours?

    ————————————-

    I AGREE, SHE IS DAMN IF SHE DOES AND DAMN IF SHE DOESN’T, YOU CANN’T WIN WITH THE HATERS.

  35. lulu says:

    and OK magazine is not the only magazine controlled by brangelina, PEOPLE magazine, CNN anyone?.

  36. michelle says:

    i don’t get why AJ is plastered front and center of Life & Style’s “Baby’s First Christmas”. It’s not even a picture of her with her kids!!!

    guess she sells anyhow. figures.

  37. 88modesty88 says:

    Kim: All over the blogs, there is so much hate for Brangelina than has been there in the last four years.
    ****************

    Dear Kim, the only hate I see comes from you. I don’t hate anyone.

    Do you really know what the word means? It is shocking that you can have that much hate for a person you don’t even know.

    And just because I like Angelina and don’t necessarily like Jennifer AS MUCH, does not mean I have to demean the one to praise the other…

  38. Maritza says:

    The tabloids just like to feed a rivalry among JA and AJ because that what sells. JA has moved on with her life, its the press that likes to keep the gossip alive to profit off of it.

  39. Cheyenne says:

    Earlier today I was browsing through Life & Style in the drugstore and a comment made by a so-called “insider” cracked me up: Jennifer finds what Angelina did to her pretty much unforgiveable.

    I was like, WTF?! Angelina didn’t do anything to Jennifer. Brad was the one who walked out on her, and he didn’t need any encouragement from Angelina to leave her. That marriage had been as good as dead before he ever met Angelina.

    When I was still a teenager, a very smart older person told me once: If a man ever leaves you for another woman, don’t blame the other woman, blame the man. Nobody held a gun to his head and forced him to leave. He left because he wanted to. And the reason(s) why he wanted to leave are between him and you, not him and the other woman.

    Whatever bullshit the tabloids keep perpetuating, it’s time to leave this Angelina-is-a-homewrecker crap once and for all. Brad fell out of love with one woman before he fell in love with another woman. It happens somewhere every day. Whining and obsessing about it isn’t going to change a thing. Just accept it as a done deal and move on, already.

  40. raven says:

    I feel sorry for Jennifer Aniston and I’m no fan. She’s not really charismatic, but was well cast on a TV show that was a huge success and, during that time, she fell in love and married a man who was a major film star. She was A+ list which can be a huge responsibility, because you have to have a certain “something” to stay on top. And you have to play to your successful brand. Think Doris Day as the girl next door, because that is Jen’s image. Unfortunately, times have changed, and the girl next door is not as interesting as she used to be.

    Without her famous show and her famous spouse, she is pretty ordinary. But the celebrity media seems to blame her for that and they’ve really turned on her just for being who she is. She was a tv personality, who was well cast. And, in the right tv vehicle, she could do it again. She really can’t open a film, though, and would only be a success in an ensemble film if she were very well cast and the film itself were great.

    Some of you need an explanation of what “taking the high road” means. It means
    being mature and not whining. By the way, it also means not letting on that you would like to whine. You never get credit for taking the high road. At least not for many, many years (like at least 10 or 20). But if you do it well,
    you eventually get a grudging respect.
    It was the one thing she could do and was doing but she stopped doing that made her at all special.

    The reason she is still remembered as Brad Pitt’s former wife is that she was A list with him. I think of Kate Capshaw, who was in film. Capshaw was similar to a lot of other actresses and never would have broken through to the top of the A List on her own. So, she did something else that kept her on the A list. She married Spielberg and adopted several kids. She is maybe doing some producing. Aniston apparently wants to act, but wants to be a star as well. You have to have charisma to be a star and she’ll never have it. She could be a character actor, but that is a real drop from being A list.

  41. aleach says:

    haha wowzers, some of you are so emotionally invested in the whole pitt-aniston-jolie thing! wow wow wow.
    anywho, i cant take any of these people seriously, with their faces plastered on EVERY stupid gossip mag every week.
    you would never see daniel craig, meryl streep, or cate blanchett on there, im sure.
    they all s-u-c-k.

  42. martiandoll says:

    Granger – you make it sound like you want Jennifer to act like a saint. I’m no fan of hers, but I understand why she couldn’t keep silent anymore. She did take the high road, she didn’t say anything publicly for 4 years. That’s a mighty long time to take the high road, don’t you think? Or should Jennifer take the high road forever? I remember a foreign song about a woman saying she’s no superhero, that she doesn’t have the power and strength to not be hurt by her husband’s cheating, that she’s only human. Can’t we apply the same to Jennifer? This is a woman who was left by her husband in front of the whole world! To expect her to be a class act all the time is ridiculous. I wouldn’t ask any woman in the same position as Jennifer’s to just shut up, be quiet and take whatever people say about her.

    Cheyenne – yes, it’s so easy to say move on, doesn’t it? We don’t know Jen, so we can just say whatever we want. There’s a certain lack of empathy in our society when we can say easily to someone who has been cheated on to deal with it and move on, and to see nothing wrong with a man leaving his wife for another woman without getting a divorce first.
