As I was looking through the photos of Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston together, it occurred to me that we might get yet another repeat of the 2009 Oscars. And by that I mean that in 2009, both Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were nominated for Oscars and Jennifer Aniston made sure that she was a presenter, thus continuing the neverending Bermuda Triangle. Since then, Brad has been up for one more Oscar (in 2012) and that was the year that Angelina’s Leg of Doom came out and we didn’t even need Aniston there, did we? But what about this year? Angelina already received her honorary Oscar, and she’ll probably get to stand on stage for something or other, and then Brad Pitt will be there for 12 Years a Slave (which is a heavy favorite for Best Picture). So will Jennifer come to present again this year? We’ll see.
Anyway, The National Enquirer has a decent story about Jennifer and Babies. I’m thankful that we’re being spared another “Jennifer might be pregnant!” storyline because… seriously, stop. The Enquirer says that Jennifer is now seriously considering surrogacy. And you know what? That would be a really good move for her IF she really does want to be a mom.
AT 44, JENNIFER ANISTON may finally achieve her dream of becoming a mom! Sources tell The ENQUIRER that the former “Friends” star and fiancé Justin Theroux are hunting for a surrogate to carry their first child.
With her biological clock ticking louder than Big Ben, Jennifer was inspired to choose surrogacy by close pal Nicole Kidman, who’s used the same method, the sources add.
“Jennifer has been intrigued by the idea of surrogacy for years,” revealed an insider. “But it wasn’t until she spoke to Nicole that she found the courage to go for it.
“She and Justin have decided surrogacy is right for them, and they’re looking to find the ideal candidate by summertime at the latest. They’re both incredibly excited to become parents and realize that bringing a baby into the world is the biggest commitment they’ll ever make. They’ve been getting tons of advice from friends, and Nicole has been enormously helpful.”
Jennifer and Nicole, 46, became close while filming the 2011 romcom “Just Go with It.”
Oscar winner Nicole married country music star Keith Urban in 2006 and delivered their first child – 5-year-old daughter Sunday Rose – naturally. Their second child, daughter Faith, was born via a surrogate in December 2010.
“Nicole adores Jennifer and thinks she and Justin make a wonderful couple,” said another source. “She believes a baby would cement their happiness and knows firsthand how the surrogacy process works.
“Jen has always said she’s not in a rush to have children, and surrogacy gives her time to prepare for the baby’s birth without going through the stress of a pregnancy. She isn’t hung up over another woman being involved, because she believes that bringing another life into the world through any method is such a magical experience in itself.”
Jennifer, whose five-year marriage to big-screen hunk Brad Pitt ended in October 2005, went public with her romance with Justin, 42, in mid-2011. As The ENQUIRER has reported, they’ve been trying to conceive since their engagement in August 2012.
The Hollywood sweetheart has reportedly undergone fertility treatments while also weighing adoption and surrogacy dreams. Among the Hollywood stars who have embraced surrogacy are Sarah Jessica Parker, 48, and Elizabeth Banks, 39, of “Hunger Games” fame.
“Jennifer can’t wait to welcome a child into the world,” added the insider. “She’s approaching this in a very level-headed manner, but privately she admits it’s the most thrilling time of her life.”
“She isn’t hung up over another woman being involved…” First time for everything! Ha. As I said, if Jennifer does want to be a mom, I think surrogacy is a great choice for her. The only thing I see gumming up the works would be A) if Jennifer and Justin aren’t really working anymore and they break up and Jennifer has to repeat this cycle with someone new, or B) if she decides that maybe babies aren’t the answer after all. Wouldn’t that be a kick in the teeth?

Here I thought I was the only one who noticed how desperate Jennifer was in 2009 Oscars that she even got together with John Mayer who so humiliatingly and publically dumped her a few months before the ceremony.
Well she will difinitely try to be there this year as well and since she never has the self confidence to come face to face with Angelina – she will enter through the backstage and Brad & Angelina will walk the red carpet – just like in 2009.
As for this gossip about surrogacy – well I have always thought that Jennifer never wanted children because she was too much into vanity and didn’t want to lose her bikini body. Plus she is also a known party girl. I also remember she once said that children are messy and too much responsibility.
Having said all of that if this is true – which I doubt – then good for her.
Not having children is not a sign of vanity.
But in Hollywood having a child IS the ultimate, “humanizing” accessory, something to be pulled out for photo ops (see: Kartrashian, Kidman, etc.) then trotted immediately back to the platoon of nannies. I’d really be interested to know how many Hollywood children were actually wanted, and which were had because of Jenna Maroney’s syllogism: “Being pregnant and babies are great for your career and get you attention!”
@SonjaMarmeladova, who wrote: “Not having children is not a sign of vanity.”
Maya didn’t say that, she said she thinks ‘Jennifer’s’ not having children is a sign of ‘Jennifer’s’ vanity, not all women who choose not to have children.
I think she just doesn’t want children. End of story. Just like lots of men.
Like lots of women too. Which isn’t a bad thing. It’s better to be aware you don’t want to be a parent than being a bad parent.
@Lucinda and Missespresso …
Not once did Maya say it was wrong for women not to have children. In fact, ‘none’ of us have ever said that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with women deciding not to have children.
Posters here always choose to interpret comments about ‘Jennifer’ and children to mean ‘all women’ and children; which isn’t the case. Instead of Jennifer just admitting that she likes her life without children, which is perfectly okay, she encourages her fans in believing that she’s desperate for a child and was robbed of the opportunity to have a child while she was married. It is all part of her design to remain relevant by using her ex-husband.
She also knows she’d lose the support of the mini-van Moms if she admitted to liking life on the beach with a margarita in one hand and a joint in the other hand, without kids under foot who would only take attention away from ‘her.’
People really want her to have a baby. I’m surprised someone hasn’t left a swaddled infant on her doorstep.
HA! Yes.
I love this! I wish people just went with snark for Jen, because she HAS to be snarky.
I can’t remember which celeb it was–but that has happened before. For some reason, I’m thinking it was a country music singer–like Reba, maybe. Someone left a baby on their doorstep. Very creepy.
I remember a Dolly Parton interview about this… yes! Dolly here is the interview now that was creepy!DOLLY PARTON
MEETS BABY JOLENE
Dolly Parton’s got a whale of a baby tale. Flashback to the ’70s and see what the country legend says one fan left on her doorstep.
Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton’s baby story is so crazy it’s hard to believe. During the country star’s rocket to fame after the song Jolene debuted in 1974 one fanatical fan took their adoration way too far.
Dolly Parton, pictured here July 28 performing on her Better Day world tour, was horrified to arrive home to a baby on her doorstep. The 65-year-old recently shared the strange but true tale with Fox News.
“Years ago, when I first started being a big star, I had fans that were fanatical. It was when Jolene was a big hit,” Dolly Parton explained.
“We came home one day and there was a baby in a box at our gate with a note in it. The note said, ‘My name is Jolene, my momma has left me here and she wants you to have me.’ Of course, we all freaked out!”
“It wasn’t like it was a kitten or a puppy dog. It was a baby named Jolene!”
What’s a person to do when finding an abandoned baby on their doorstep? Put in a call to Human Services, just as Dolly Parton did all those years ago.
To this day, Dolly Parton has no idea what happened to the baby named Jolene that showed up at her door.

It was Dolly Parton. Very creepy indeed.
That’s it! I think I read it on wiki…
Funny!
I don’t think either one of them is interested in babies they just don’t have that vibe BUT if they go the surrogacy route I hope they are smart enough to keep everything under wraps until after the baby is born.
This all smells distinctly of BS to me!
This smells of PR to me, another way to keep her in the news.
Pretty sure that if they were trying so hard to conceive they would not have been living on different coasts for most of the year.
Yes. She has the means to have had a baby long ago, married or not, if that’s what she wanted. Not buying that it’s been her dream. Some women just don’t want kids, it’s their choice. Better to know that about yourself before hand. What bugs me is they keep making it sound like she’s just been trying so hard, and her dreams of motherhood haven’t been realized. I have wondered if she was pregnant when she married Brad. There was a wedding photo released of them and he had his hand placed gently on her belly and she was looking down if I remember right. Made me think at the time there was possibly a little Pitt in there. I’m probably totally wrong but just saying.
She’s said that she’s never been pregnant.
Has Jen ever dated a man with children of his own, or have they all been childless?
Lady D, to my knowledge, she’s never dated anyone with kids of their own–not after she got divorced.
The only person that she’s dated, that got married afterwards was Vince Vaughn.
Yes
If Aniston wants to have a baby she will have one. Everyone called this move ages ago. As Aniston gets older the tabs will move away from her being pregnant to considering adoption or surrogacy. This is pure PR.
Also, I remember a few years back Aniston was on the red carpet. An interviewer shouted something at her to the likes of what do you think of that woman with all the babies. The interviewer ment Octomom. Aniston replied back something like crazy lady with all the kids? The interviewer said, Octomom. Jen said yea, sure.
Someone help me here. I can’t remember it fully. It was taken as a jab at Jolie and her growing brood. She’s still bitter imo and needs to stir the pot to be relevent in acting.
And if Aniston eery actually has a baby i’ll eat my hat!
Well, Octomom is a crazy lady! I don’t think we can stretch that into meaning she was shading Jolie.
Yes, this story does smell like the poop-y end of the diaper!
Nothing remotely maternal about this woman. But she can afford nannies so she can continue to look at herself in the mirror.
Wow. The photo of Aniston situated near the post of Laura Linney really emphasizes how orange and heavily made-up Aniston looks at most of these events. Jen, if you’re reading, let Laura Linney be your guide.
According to tabloids Aniston has been pregnant for the last year and yet Linney gives birth and tabloids are clueless.LOL
It’s the makeup and the tanning, like you said. I’ve always thought that Jennifer would look a lot more attractive, a lot more striking if she had kept her dark hair (straighten it if she wanted), her natural skin tone, and her original nose. Especially the skin tone. She’s not one of those people who can carry off complicated, or even a lot of makeup–for better or worse, she looks a lot better when she isn’t caking her face in that goop. And it would be a lot better for her skin.
Her oscar look still makes me wince. I loved the dress (although it made her look a little squat, I think she either needed to wear some high heels or get the dress tailored a little shorter–she wasn’t tall enough to pull it off), loved the color–but that hair. I hate super obvious highlights to begin with–but her hair looked like she spent the limo ride combing it out, and it looked really dry and straw like….I can’t believe she pays people to do her hair. It doesn’t just look average, it looks awful and not healthy. Just from a few pictures of her haircut, it already looked a lot healthier than it has in YEARS.
@Virgilia Coriolanus, who wrote: “Her oscar look still makes me wince. I loved the dress (although it made her look a little squat, I think she either needed to wear some high heels or get the dress tailored a little shorter–she wasn’t tall enough to pull it off),”
The sad thing is, Jennifer ‘was’ wearing high heels at the 2009 Oscars in that sausage dress. Check the picture on the left via the link below:
http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl2/0/3987/08_2009/b805944472594c5b_Jennifer-Aniston.preview.jpg
That was when I first noticed how short and ‘stumpy’ she is, when I realized she was wearing heels at the 2009 Oscars and ‘still’ looked like a short sausage roll.
Meh–who knows? I would think Jennifer would consider surrogacy the same as adoption, in that Jennifer isn’t actually carrying the baby–she already said that adoption wasn’t for her, and I don’t see her changing her mind at her age.
But I am sick of Jennifer Aniston pregnancy stories–scratch that I’m sick of Jennifer pretending like she’s annoyed by them.
You know what the first thing out of Jennifer’s camp was, when she got engaged to Justin?
*“Jen loves babies. They would be great at raising a family together.”*
Right when they got engaged—so she just needs to quit it.
http://www.celebitchy.com/246043/jennifer_aniston_justin_might_elope_and_jen_loves_babies_of_course/
Her camp plants those approved stories all the time and then they plant the “jen is so annoyed by this womb speculation” stories. Often her people seem to plant a story and say the story has upset Jen before anyone cared to read it and make a big deal out of it.
She’s a miserable actress, but I admire her as a business woman. Her keeping up this game is making me admire her less and wonder if it’s just the people around her making good money moves, while she’s still holding onto friends and brad fame.
What annoys me so much is that she acts all annoyed about it–like last summer, when she was promoting ‘We’re the Millers’ on GMA–there was a big post about it, when she said that she got annoyed by the baby question. I had forgotten that that was one of the first things to come from her camp when she got engaged—so all I remember was that 2011ish interview where she talked about kids w/PEOPLE. So I was like yeah, she moving away from it, that was a few years ago–but she had just put that out form her camp nearly a year before. And it’s not like she’s in her late twenties/early thirties, about to be married again (you know, she may have grown up a little and changed her mind)–she is 45 years old. It’s time to stop treating her like a child—I get that people change their minds. But she is 45 and has been recycling the same crap for years. And she’s old enough to know and media savvy enough to know what she’s doing…so it gets annoying when she puts on this ‘who me?’ personna, like she’s MY age.
Oh good for them. What city will will the baby live in ?
Spot on. You are the master of the deadly one-liner.
G, you said it better than I could in a sentence……made me laugh HARD…
In the magical land of Huvaniston which is ruled by the Goddess Circle.
Also known as ‘LA’, with a magical home away from home spot called ‘Cabo’.
@Maya, who wrote: “In the magical land of Huvaniston which is ruled by the Goddess Circle.”
LOL!! Well said! 🙂
Hopefully the surrogate will give birth to twins. By the time the kid(s) graduate from high school Justin and Jennifer will both be in their sixties.
So you’re wishing an extra child upon somebody as some sort of punishment?
My Dad was 68 when I graduated high school. Stood there proudly with everybody else. Never seemed like such a big deal that he was older; actually most of my friends were jealous of the fact that my Dad was actually around so much.
Punishment never entered my mind.
Due to the advanced ages of both parents it would be better if the child had a sibling which would be around into adulthood.
After age 60 most people are living on borrowed time.
After 60? That is crazy! I’m nowhere close but sorry, you aren’t living on borrowed time after 60. Maybe 80, but 60 is pretty young and vibrant still. I have a friend who at 62 takes care of a 25 acre ranch and all the myriad animals. I’ve ridden endurance rides with eighty year olds.
I have no intention of living on borrowed time for a very long time still. Nice ageism though.
Yeah, I know a couple who are in their mid sixties with a 21 year old daughter…..they’re not worn and broken down–it all depends on how you treat your body.
Really? More Jennifer Aniston baby speculation? I don’t think Jennifer has ever wanted kids. And I wish she would just admit that. There is nothing wrong about that.
If its not medically necessary, why not carry the baby yourself? I just find it odd for a woman to decide to have a child which is a lifelong commitment, can’t bother with cooking said child for 36-40 wks. I’m 7 months pregnant and I work FT as a RN….it is exhausting, physically and emotionally. But feeling my little chicken nugget move around in there is the coolest shit on the planet. Sure I miss having a drink when I’m out to dinner but it’s really not that deep. If I had her money I would be home relaxing without a care in the world. My husband and I don’t have that luxury but I wouldn’t trade the experience, good and bad days, for the world. And neither would he.
I believe that older women are more likely to have children that have birth defects. Thus a surrogate seems to be a safer route to a healthy child. Besides, carrying a child doesn’t make you a better mother, just look around at all the people you know that had a normal pregnancy. Are they all good mothers? Probably not.
That said, I’ll believe stories about Jennifer and children when I see her say it. Until then, not so much.
All I got out this was “OMG Nicole Kidman gave birth to a 5 year old child child naturally!” I mean really, there’s a better way to word that..
“Her dream of becoming a mom,” LOLZ X 1,000!!!!!!!!!!!!! When are the sodding tabloids going to give up on this? She never wanted kids, never will. It broke up her marriage to Mr. Pitt. He wanted kids, she wanted her career. Give it up, people. No babies – ever.
Are you kidding? Laura Linney just guaranteed us *at least* five more years of baby speculation. I was hoping it would start to die down now that she’s in her mid-forties, but no chance now.
Jen DOESN’T want kids. I truly believe that but she doesn’t want to come out and be mature and just say so. So many are in awe of her to where many women would be empowered by her. The Almighty Jennifer Aniston doesn’t want kids and it’s ashamed.
BUT it keeps her in the media. The never ending baby stuff keeps people talking about her always so she doesn’t say anything because she’d rather them talk about her over untrue BS than not at all.
She’s really sad.
Yep if Jennifer ever admitted (what most us know anyway) that she doesn’t want children than she will lose a majority of her fanbase.
She wont do it however as the constant pregnancy plants and deny is what is keeping her in the media these days. Not for her movies, only hair, body and pregnancy stuff.
Why doesn’t her fan base recognize this fact? Her fan base is not unintelligent. It is, and has been, blatantly obvious for years now that children aren’t a priority to her.
What I don’t get, Lady D is why it even became a thing. Well, actually I do know why, because Jennifer has kept on and on with it, over the years. Sure, saying she wanted to have kids after her divorce–I don’t fault her for that. If that was how she felt, she should say it. But I don’t understand why they kept up with it—various interviews saying that she really wants it, it’s going to happen soon, and so on. Anyone with half a brain can tell that children are not a priority for her.
If I kept telling my mom, for years, that I was going to have a kid soon, but I never did, and oh! when my mom asks me when her grandkids are coming and I say ‘soon’ or, don’t be so narrow minded as to assume that I’m not happy w/out kids’—well guess what? My mom’s going to tell me to either do it, or shut up about it.
What I don’t understand is why Huvane thinks this is an effective pr strategy–unless he’s operating under ‘all publicity is good publicity’.
It has been 9 years and counting Virgie. Enough with the baby talk. Doesn’t Jen ever get tired of it? I’d be seriously reviewing my life if I was known for 2 things. (baby/hair) I wonder if she’s planning a 10 years after Brad interview? $50 says if she breaks up with Justin, the 10 years after story will run on the Brad and Jen breakup anniversary.
@LadyD
I hope she’s not dumb enough to do that. I remember reading that 5 years one, in middle school. Even I was like ‘wtf’? Looking hot is the best revenge—revenge on who? Your ex-husband? You were divorced FIVE YEARS AGO. God. I read it because my school library gets it, so me and my science teacher were rolling our eyes over it. But, her pr has shown that they’re not the brightest (Chelsea Handler, for one)…so I wouldn’t be surprised by anything.
For god’s sake, take a lesson from Laura Linney and stop airing your dirty laundry in the tabloids. Want to use a surrogate? Bully for you, keep it to yourself.
Didn’t Nicole Kidman say she kept their surrogacy a secret till the baby had been delivered to protect everyones’ privacy?
I believe so. Again, just going to show, if you want to keep something private, you can. Jen obviously doesn’t.
I call BS. First of all, I think presenters are asked by the show’s producers based on their relevency at the moment (or a win the previous year). I don’t think they jockey for the positions. Jen has not had any big movies the past year, so I can’t see why they would ask her. I also don’t see her angling for a spot as some childish ploy to…what? Show Brad what he’s missing? Annoy Angelina? Create strife in the hopes they argue, break up and Brad comes running back to Jen? The whole thing is so juvenile. It’s like people are playing out their juvenile fantasies vicariously through the tabloids. Meh. As to the surrogacy – sure, IF she wants a baby at this point in her life, that would be a great option (just as it would be for any 40+ year old woman who decides she wants a baby) – but I don’t see it. To me, it’s just more wishful thinking on ghe part of the tabloids who are intent on milking the Brad-Jen-Angelina triangle for all it’s worth. Time to move on.
I think it’s surprising no one ever considers the possibility that she cant actually carry a child?! Who knows? Maybe the whole I dont care about children is just a way for her to protect herself. Not everyone eventually “deals with it” and decides to adopt/get a surrogate right away…
And being a celebrity she really doesnt have to let the world know if that is the case… Let the tabloids speculate!
Anyway if they do get a surrogate, good for them if not, well good for them as well. Whatever floats their boat.
This has been hashed and rehashed for ages, If that’s the case, it’s the ONLY thing she’s managed to keep private. And she made fun of pregnancy in that short film. Not really the actions of someone with sensitivities you suggest.
She’s been bump baiting the tabloids forever.
And on snl, and has her publicist deny the rumors all the time….
So to deal with the pain of being infertile she does a commercial with a fake baby bump mocking pregnancy? Jen’s a trooper
Half the time she’s the one feeding the tabloids rumours.
It would depend if she was using her own egg and the embryo transplanted into another woman’s uterus. Since she has said adoption isn’t for her, I can’t imagine her wanting another person’s baby, surrogate or adoption. So IF she were to go that route it would have to be her eggs (and Justin’s sperm) used.
I think that Jenn still has frozen eggs which were fertilized by Brad Pitt and she is legally entitled to use them if she desires.
I don’t think Jennifer has Brad’s sperm—one of Jennifer’s friends gave a really weird interview where she said she told Jennifer to keep some of Brad’s sperm in case she wanted kids later on, or something……
@ Virgilia, I thought it was common knowledge that Jenn and Brad had frozen embryos and that Brad agreed to let Jenn retain them when they divorced.
All things considered it makes perfect sense.
Tippy I think that frozen eggs rumor is tabloid rumor along with the story that she had two miscarriages. It simply isn’t true.
Um, what? That sounds like a load of bs. Article please, and not some tabloid crap either.
The story is that Sue Mengers advised Jen to get some of Brad’s sperm post divorce.
http://www.celebitchy.com/199121/jennifer_anistons_friend_sue_mengers_advised_her_to_get_brad_pitts_sperm_post-divorce/
The ides of Jen having Brad baby at this point is totally repugnant to me. Good thing it’s not true.
The frozen embryos theory definitely has the ring of truth to it. There’s no reason that Jenn and Brad wouldn’t want to preserve their ability to reproduce. When their relationship ended the only alternative to allowing Jenn to retain the embryos would have been to either donate or discard them.
The most fascinating part is that their offspring could potentially be born 100 years in the future.
Wow… there are actual folks, crossing their fingers about a Pitt-Aniston baby and we’re closing in on 9 years since their divorce. As many mentioned, including myself, when that Mengers article came out, how pathetic would it look if Aniston opted to have the babies of the man who has long ditched her instead of having one with the dude she’s actually with? Because it would be pathetic and somewhat unbalanced to do so.
Um, Tippy… why are you desperately trying pretend there is anything left between Aniston and Brad Pitt? They split up 9 years ago. Brad has already proved he can reproduce; he’s made three babies with Angelina Jolie. He doesn’t want anything to do with Aniston any more, and he definitely doesn’t want her children! He already has six of his own.
Agree with Janet that Pitt doesn’t want Aniston’s children. I will go a step further and say that Aniston doesn’t want his either. See how well that works out for both of them? 🙂
Um, Tippy? There is NO ring of truth to it, since Aniston was so ANTI children she would never even thought of freezing eggs. I very, VERY much doubt any embryos were ever frozen on ice. Number 1, Aniston made it painfully clear she did not want any children when she was with Pitt. Number 2, she wouldn’t have even needed to back then. At that age she was definitely fertile. The whole point is that she did NOT want children, so there were NO embryos put on ice in that marriage. That is for sure. Sounds like something the minivan soccer mum fans would cling to, since it is SO IMPORTANT to them to believe she wanted kids when the very last thing ON EARTH she’d ever do is freeze any eggs because she would not want to risk having a child.
Tulip Garden, it worked out very, VERY WELL for Brad, but I have a feeling Aniston is regretting it – *big time*. 😀
Its common knowledge that their marriage broke up because of the children issue and that Aniston definitely did not want any, exposing the loony and bizarre *tabloid* theory that she froze eggs as, well, bullshit. A young, fertile woman does not freeze embryos, especially a woman who has made it so so very clear that she does *not* want children. Its common knowledge that the tabloid bullshit that she froze embryos is just that: BULL*SHIT*.
Sal, both Jennifer and Brad said that the idea of not having kids was NOT the reason that their marriage broke up. And I believe them. Just from what I learned about their marriage, I’m amazed that ANYONE was surprised when they separated. Happily married people, for the most part, do not go months without seeing each other, tell the press that they don’t believe that the other is the love of their life,tell the press that their marriage is a ‘merger’ and when they both stop growing, they’ll separate. I have never, ever heard any couple that I know describe their marriage like that. Not to me.There were tons of other problems in that marriage, for a baby not to even be on the radar.
Personally, I think that Jennifer has always played around with the public. I’ve heard from other posters that she’s been messing around with ‘I want a baby’ thing since the 90s. I think that after her divorce, BECAUSE Brad was with someone who had kids, talked a lot about how her son made her a woman, a grown up, and subsequently got pregnant very quickly by Brad—I think she (and Huvane) felt that they had to keep this baby thing alive. I do think it is a pr thing. I don’t think it was personal i.e. she was never longing for a child in real life–because if she was, she’d have one right now. I think when she and Brad got together, she was all ‘yeah, sure’–but that soon went to the wayside. Brad spent the first two years of their marriage in therapy. I wouldn’t be thinking about a baby right then.
If this is even remotely true, there is a good chance Jennifer would use a donor egg. “Surrogacy” as it used to be defined has changed dramatically. From the carriers fighting to get the child – since it’s their own biological child – to the belief that it’s akin to baby selling, the laws have changed. Now a days, they use Gestational Carriers. I’m pretty sure it’s a law everywhere in the US now that the carrier cannot use her own egg. This has caused the process to be significantly more expensive and out of reach for the average person. But, it eliminates the chance that the carrier will fight for custody.
You’re missing the point. As I said, it would have to be HER egg, and NOT a donor egg, since she made it very clear she could adopt someone else’s child. A donor would be, someone else’s child.
Therefore, she’d use ONLY *HER* egg, or nothing at all. The whole topic is moot though, since she has made it ever so clear the last thing she wants is a child. Hence her break up with Pitt.
Ugh, I meant *couldn’t adopt someone else’s child.
tabloids this story might not be true is the same poop they have been writting for years only now they added another woman as a surrigate to this one if it is true that woman better be careful in case Jennifer cries afterwards how another woman stole her pregnancy.
Dear Jen,
It’s really ok if you don’t want any kids. Really. You can say so. I don’t want any either. Yes, some people don’t get why someone would not want kids, but who cares. It’s your life. And your life seems pretty nice to me. Once you JUST SAY IT – that you don’t want any kids – all of these Jen-with-baby stories will stop. That’s what you want, right?
Sincerely,
shellybean
Okay serious question—-
If Huvane isn’t planting these stories, then he also isn’t stopping them, because they come out ALL. THE. TIME.
My question is this–what in the world is Jennifer paying him to do? It seems to me that his only job is to put out press statements denying that she is on a baby food diet, or that she’s pregnant (when her either IGNORING IT like any other person does OR being pap’d with a giant maragarita glass does the trick too).
So what does he do, that is sooo invaluable to her? He’s the one who let that idiotic ‘Five years after Brad…’ PEOPLE cover go through, he didn’t shut up Chelsea Handler when she was making Jennifer look bitter and unable to let the past go (I’m convinced Chelsea only stopped because Angelina announced her double mastectomy a few months after the last attack….’comedic rant’, I mean).
So what does he do but collect checks?
Well, I think what he has done for her, pretty successfully, is keep her name in the news as some special princess in a way that’s gotten her a lot of sympathy from her fan base. That translates into positive Q ratings and equals roles in rom-coms movies as “the girl” and more negotiating power on salary.
I do agree, that it’s wearing thin, now though, The annual cycle of bikini-baby- wedding-hair has worn out and her fans are aged.
Isn’t Cecelia/spinner always on about how likeable Jen is lately? How many friends she has, how they like her, how social she is.? Her Q ratings must be slipping.
I think that sympathy kind of waned, because look at Celebitchy. I’ve read all of the threads on Jennifer, Brad, Angelina (I reread a lot of archives 🙂 and before, it was always ‘Angelina, that homewrecking skank, etc’–no matter what it was about. It was pretty bad. But then when we found out Jennifer was going around, introducing Justin to fellow directors on that lifetime movie that she did, months before he broke things off with Heidi, then there was ‘they weren’t married=no cheating’ logic–but right after that, the majority of those people stopped posting on the threads.
And I don’t get why it’s pointed out that Jennifer has all these influential friends, etc. They clearly haven’t helped her career, and they certainly don’t help her image. How many of those people are actually her real, true friends? How many hang out with her because she’s fun, she provides free booze, and you get a little exposure?
And just a fun fact, Orig. G. I found out something interesting a while ago, when I was rereading old threads (a LOOONG while ago)–remember when Jennifer was all ‘Angelina is UNCOOL’ (while praising Brad to the high heavens, no less)? And then when she got flak for it (by who??? Oprah?) she was all ‘Vogue went tabloid’!, etc. Well, I was reading an interview from the Vogue UK editor back from 2010ish–she said that someone like Jennifer Aniston wants copy approval on everything–the interview and the cover, and that’s why Jennifer wouldn’t be on Vogue UK, because the editor doesn’t think it’s proper, etc.
Sooo, when Jennifer was complaining that it was a throwaway sentence, Vogue went off the rails—SHE approved it. She knew it was going to be on the cover, and she had no issues with it—until she got a little bad press (again, by who? Oprah?). So I find it funny and ironic that she was acting all ‘woe is me’–she started it.
Anyway, if you want to hear more of my loonie conspiracy theories–you can email me (it’s the same name on yahoo)–I did a few write ups that you might be interested in 🙂
He’s being paid to keep her from sliding into oblivion (where she belongs), and so far he’s been earning his paycheck.
How do you know this? Or are you just being mean?
Not specific to Jen Aniston, I don’t know what her deal is, but I get a bad taste about surrogacy when the situation isn’t medically related or necessitated. If a woman isn’t able to carry a child to term, I can understand the need for surrogacy and I have read about selfless sacrifice, within families, where one member will carry a child for another. Maybe someone can change my opinion, but I question the ethics of paying for rental space in another woman’s uterus for the sole purpose of avoiding routine physical pain or body changes associated with pregnancy. It sets up a possible situation where the financially desperate can be used by the wealthy. And then there are plenty of children already born, left without loving parents, all for the sake of continuance of a direct DNA link for someone who isn’t willing endure the process of achieving it. That type of selfishness doesn’t bode well for later parenting skills, IMHO.
Some very good points in this @Kiddo.
Agreed! Is it levelling the playing field for women by giving them an opportunity to have bio children the way men do, or is it creating a Handmaid’s Tale society?
Good book, and easy to imagine. The movie was a little hard to watch.
I absolutely agree with you. I do think that due to age and possible birth defects that older women (Aniston included) are smart to get surrogates. If a healthy woman below age 35 chose this route, I would probably question it too.
The issue with birth defects has more to do with the eggs, than the womb.
“Age-related chromosomal problems typically originate at the time of meiosis, when the egg cell eliminates half of its 46 chromosomes to accommodate the male’s genetic material. Tiny filaments called spindles, which appear to become detached from the chromosomes as women age, separate the chromosomes. This detachment can result in an abnormal number of chromosomes in the egg, a condition called aneuploidy. This occurs in about 33 percent of eggs at age 35 and 50 percent of eggs at age 40.”
Looks like her PR team realized how tired everyone was with the pregnancy stories so this is the new story. Moving on…
I always thought that IF Jennifer ever did have a baby, she would def go the surrogacy route. Maybe the weight gain that she had a few months ago were from the meds to increase egg production…but who knows…
Just wondering – why surrogacy versus adopting? At her age the egg probably won’t be hers, so at best the baby could be Justin’s biologically but not Jens. I wonder why they’d go the surrogacy route so that it has biological ties to Justin rather than adopting a baby. Justin never struck me as someone who needed a child of his own DNA.
Justin never struck me as someone who wanted a kid. He was forty years old when they got together, never had a kid or anything. Maybe Heidi didn’t want to have a kid, didn’t want to get married–but I would think that it was a mutual decision–why would he stay 14 years with someone who didn’t want to get married, didn’t want kids, if he didn’t feel the same way? Maybe he changed his mind—with the right incentive 😉
Most likely she’s freezes her eggs. Also she probably still ovulated so she should have eggs.
What disturbs me is that her career has flatlined and she has enough money, so why not just have the baby naturally?
She is so freaking vain this woman.
Good for her if she/they really want a child. I just wonder how much time she has for child rearing since they don’t have time to get married.
Um, yeah. Good point. Personally, I think this story serves only to make the break up more interesting… So we can all gasp, “oh no! They were just going to have a baby, and now the dream is DASHED!”
This is a great point.
I don’t get the parent vibe from Aniston at all, and even less so from justin. I wish this never-ending story would end. It’s just sad and old.
These baby stories are so ridiculous. I don’t know why people believe them. Jennifer has made it clear that children are the last thing on her mind. It’s really sad that her fans keep claiming that she has fertility problems. If Jennifer had multiple miscarriages or infertile she would have talked about it years ago. She also wouldn’t repeatedly make pregnancy jokes.
Samantha this exactly. You said all there is to say already
The National Enquirer? Seriously?
I don’t care about Jennifer Anniston or her current rotation of flake boyfriends or her womb. When she married brad Pitt I was like “aww man, I’m going to have see her in the press all the time. Boo” She is a lame actress and I don’t understand what the fascination is with her.
Don’t know about the surrogacy thing at all but just heard from a friend of my that was researching an article on celebs and their trainers. She went on and on how totally funny and cool and even thoughtul and considerate Jen and her trainer Mandy were to everyone around them, even helping the “help. And everyone said they are always like that. (Incidentally for another of why I don’t like Gwyniie reasons, said time she spent with GOOP and her trainer recently was a surreal circle of hellish of a morning. That they were barking at everyone, whining, admiring themselves, not answering calls about their kids THEN going out and acting sweet as pie to 2 A list actresses that dropped by their new studio. In fact, my friend actually resigned shortly after this because her editor would not allow any negativity at all about Gwyneth printed – like Vanity Fair and other publications, not willing to deal with her lawyers – too expensive for them even though they are one of the largest and allegedly reputable “Women’s” magazines out there. So go Jen and if she really wants a baby (and that dude is good enough for her – mixed thoughts there – hope she gets a wonderful baby any way she can!
PS. She even laughed and helped clean up when one of the photographers kid interns knocked over a bottle of red wine all over the carpet and sofa, etc. – So overrated perhaps but is nice just like I had heard. And will spare you the worst of the Gwyneth and Tracy opposite day only because she has kids who are already suffering enough because of their “Mom”.
Does it matter???? Why do people assume she doesn’t want a baby because it will wreck her figure and how many times have the tabloids said she was pregnant. Maybe she can’t have children. Who knows but why just assume athings.
I think if she wanted babies, she would have had babies by now.
It’s not like, as a woman, you get to 44 years of age without ever having considered the question of whether or not you do. Her child-free womb is not an error; it’s a symptom of her having made a choice.
