It seems that we’ve spent this entire week talking about the physical (and emotional) distance between Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston. Justin was in NYC and Jennifer was in LA. She celebrated her 45th birthday with friends while Justin spent her birthday partying with Orlando Bloom. It seems more and more like Justin and Jennifer are not together. The tabloids and the legit magazines have been reporting this like “ah, poor Aniston, got dumped again.” But In Touch Weekly took the bold stance this week, suggesting that it was Aniston who was looking to get some distance, and that in Justin’s time of need, she couldn’t be bothered:
Jennifer’s conspicuous absence from Justin’s side as he grieved for his close friend Philip Seymour Hoffman spoke volumes.
“Justin looked like he needed someone. He was totally alone,” says an eyewitness, adding that the actor was visibly distraught at both the wake on February 6 and the funeral on February 7.
“The fact that Jen couldn’t hop on a five-hour flight to support him is strange. Hopefully whatever kept Jen in LA was really important, because Justin was grieving.”
Her rep tells In Touch that Jen “was unable to travel to NY as she had work commitments in LA.”
But insiders weren’t surprised by her absence. “They’ve drifted apart over the last few months. He started pulling away from her emotionally right before he moved to New York. They’re just not on the same path right now.”
[From In Touch Weekly, print edition]
So will Jennifer actually be the one to do the dumping this time? Or is that just a pipe dream? I think it would work wonders for her image if she was the one who publicly came out and said, “This isn’t what I wanted, it’s over.” I know I wouldn’t blame her.
Meanwhile, Star Magazine has a much more typical Aniston story about how she’s scared of aging and she’s trying new cosmetic treatments to look younger:
“Jen has been bummed that she’s pushing 50, so she decided to so some treatments to make herself appear younger,” a pal tells Star. “She had a round of what she calls ‘maintenance work’ which included lip injections, and she’s ditched her usual Botox regimen for Frotox, a nontoxic wrinkle cold injection. Courteney Cox introduced her to it and Jen loves it!”
Aniston has also been taking regular supplements of vitamin E, borage oil and zinc to make sure her skin stays clear and radiant as it always appears in her Aveeno and Smartwater ads. As for her hair… “Jen originally got an edgy, chopped hairstyle because she thought it’d make her look younger and hip. The shorter look has worked on stars like Charlize Theron and Pam Anderson, but all it did was make Jen look old. She always got compliments when her hair was longer and millions of women imitate her long locks, so she went back to it.”
The truth is, “Jen has been an emotional mess about both her age and also over the fact that Justin won’t marry her. In addition to looking younger, she’s hoping that her beauty regimens will help draw Justin back in.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition]
I’ve thought for a while that Jennifer has been getting lip injections – nothing too major, but some noticeable plumping every now and then. As for the Botox… it comes and goes. Sometimes her face looks oddly frozen or full of fillers, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m not sure what’s causing the wide disparity. Also: I would not do anything that Courteney Cox has recommended because CC’s face is a mess.

Valentine’s Day is very overrated.
BTW, if this thing has just run it’s course, it’s ok. It happens.
Yes. Valentines Day is overrated.
But her birthday is February 12, and they weren’t together.
And she did not go with him to his close friends funeral.
It adds up.
But you know if they did break up, then nice job of coasting thru it without making a giant press release of it.
Is she still wearing that fugly engagement ring?
She wore it for the Steinam interview.
Why shouldn’t she still wear the ring, she bought it.
Predictable
Justin had his own money. This isn’t like a leanne and eddie scenario.
And to the article. Jen won’t give up her victim image, LBD’s, or hair style. She will be the one “heartbroken” on the People and US Weekly covers when this is all done.
Not sure where this myth about Justin and “his own money” comes from. Justin has always very much been a struggling actor/writer/whatever for his entire career. He was probably only able to afford his NYC digs because he shared it with his girlfriend. His dad is a successful lawyer but he’s not rich plus he has a lot of kids besides Jason.
Aniston was/is the gold ticket for him in many ways including financial security and a life he’d never have on his own. Even if they break up I envision a lovely parting gift that will ensure his discretion. But how stupid could he be not to be able to play this out until he is legally Mr. Aniston?
Justin’s money isn’t a myth. He’s worth about 10 mill on his own. Substantial by any regular person’s yardstick.
Well until they get married or break-up these stories will be endless. *shrug*
Pushing 50 ? She is 45, she still has a few years ahead before ‘pushing 50’!
I know, right? I’m pushing 50 at 49 (and 50 is pushing back).
They seem like they’re both over it. He has to be in NYC because he’s filming for HBO, so really she should be the one to travel/relo if they’re going to be together. The fact that she’s not in NYC suggests she’s the one who is dunzo. Maybe they’re ON A BREAK.
YES! 😀 😀 😀 have to watch friends tonight….
justin is a hipster d-bag . take his uni. he’s wearing wax jeans – fact: those aren’t comfortable. he’s wearing a tight leather jacket – fact: he can’t lift his arms above his shoulders. he’s wearing a sweater or something tied around his waist, while already wearing a hoodie, scarf and tight leather jacket, so that says to me he just wants to look cool. and finally, i’d throw down $100 that he spends more time putting his all black ensemble together than most chicks spend getting ready.
tara, this made me laugh, thanks.
Too funny. And I won’t bet you because you’ll definitely win 😀
Totally agree.
If I dated a guy like that, I’d kill him. He’d annoy me to death.
I’m laughing at your facts, Tara R. I thought the sweatshirt was possibly to cover up a big “man butt” and because his shiny pants were too tight.
I always wear a shirt around my waist when I go walking or jogging and call it my “butt cover,” lol.
Haha his wax jeans make his butt look big. I don’t usually get worked up by this stuff but, man, that guy pushes my buttons. I think it started when he wore black cut off jeans as a bathing suit in Cabo!
It seems that we’ve spent this entire week talking about the physical (and emotional) distance between Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston… Exactly I think we’ve had enough for the week! But what would the friday post look like without a story about JA, or BP/AJ its almost a tradition now to have a story about either of them on fridays! :).
The only thing I can say about this story is that Justin looks ridiculous in the last picture!
By the way what millions of women imitate her hairstyle???? Huh
YAWN.
Not everyone thinks birthdays and commercial holidays are a big deal–I could see them agreeing to celebrate (the birthday, at least) at a later time, since he’s working and probably distracted. But not rearranging your schedule to attend the funeral of a mutual friend that died young and unexpectedly? That’s pretty telling, IMO. I think they split a while ago. We’ll know when someone wants to hook up with somebody else, I guess.
Is she working on anything? If not, I’m beginning to think they may be on break, too. NY is not too far for her to fly for a birthday, or to comfort him over the loss of a friend.
She had the Maker thing, but I’m not sure what the timing of that was. I don’t really follow her career, but I haven’t heard of any films in the works, so…
Also, WHY is he wearing the shirt draped around his waist with that jacket? I only ask because pictures from yesterday and today show him in different clothes with the shirt tied behind him both times. So clearly it’s a “look.” In yesterday’s picture, I seriously thought it was some kind of cape. LOL
@ gogogorilla
To quote Edna Mode:
“no capes.”
I originally had a thought that perhaps he asked her to stay away from the wake and funeral to avoid additional attention. The wake and funeral brought those who not only worked with PSH but were friends.
Many, not all, are somewhat nyc based actor’s. NYC performers, whether stage/film or both, are a tight knit group.
My personal observations have shown everyone, famous or not, minds their own business, I.e., don’t stop performers for a photo or autograph typically.
In LA, it seems to me that the same rules don’t apply or it just seems that way. This is my personal observation.
I’ve seen on more than occasion, a famous person get rushed by people who seem to not know the meaning of personal space and boundaries, paps included, while on business in LA.
I lived in nyc for many years and I’d be walking my dog and pass a famous actor, if they were neighbor’s typical stop and chat or cruise right pass another.
@Stellax2, who wrote: “I originally had a thought that perhaps he asked her to stay away from the wake and funeral to avoid additional attention. The wake and funeral brought those who not only worked with PSH but were friends.”
Jen worked with PSH, too. I find it strange for Jen’s fans to assumed that PSH became friends with nearly everyone he worked with except for Jen.
Katherine – your post pretty much sums it up. I wouldn’t bat an eye at couples not spending bday/valentine’s together if it’s logistically difficult to do so, but not making time for the funeral is entirely different. Even if they were breaking up, that’s the kind of thing where you put aside all else and support the people in your life. Having said that, I’m not going to presume to know why she wasn’t there. Air travel between the coasts hasn’t been easy the last few weeks.
gogogorilla, I agree. Valentine’s day or even Birthdays once you’re an adult aren’t very important. It’s the time apart in what I think is the still the early stage of a relationship that is a tell. No one in love with her resources would stay apart for these long stretches unless they were totally self absorbed or lazy.
The biggest tell is not being with Justin after Hoffman’s death. Nothing should have prevented her from at least flying in to see for herself he was okay – especially a man with his own history of substance abuse and rehab. You can’t take the word of someone with his history saying he’s okay and not to worry. They have proven their judgment is not always good.
Um, there was nothing in her career to prevent her from going to NYC. Let’s be real. The people involved in the deal weren’t even in LA. Weren’t they at the Berlinale?
has anyone considered perhaps PSH didnt care for his long time friend DUMPING his girlfriend of 14 years (who i’m sure PSH and his partner were also friends with) for Ansiton?? I don’t think she’s too popular with his NYC friends who think perhaps Heidi was blindsided and humiliated by Justin taking up with Jennifer
That’s a good point.
I don’t know—there’s a pic of him hugging Justin at the Oscars last year, while Jennifer watched. It’s possible he didn’t care for Jennifer, but he and Justin seemed fine. Maybe he liked Heidi better (she seems to be a lot like Mimi–both are designers), who knows, but he probably feels like it’s none of his business. Especially since it doesn’t seem like he and Justin spend a ton of time together, being that Justin carried Jennifer’s bags for two years, in LA. If anything, he was asking why doesn’t he come up to NY as often anymore.
Pushing 50? She just turned 45 literally 3 days ago.
Whatever they had probably just ran its course and they’re moving on but with the tabloid mags’ compulsive need for a good/bad, winner/loser narrative, they’re going to throw whatever they can at the wall until a narrative sticks. I think they’re very likely over and Justin’s in NYC doing his thing and Jennifer is in LA doing her thing and they’ve quietly separated and are moving on with their lives.
We are Trying to break up with you too Jen!
Hehehe.
It seems that when her men are desperate to be done with the relationship, they are more than willing to let her be the one to publicly dump them. Except Mayer. No one will ever accuse John Mayer of being a gentleman.
Yep, that about sums it up.
LOL.
I’d break up with him too – he’s such a d-bag and is besties with that pervosaurus Terry Richardson. God knows what those two get up to late at night….
Jennifer is besties with vile racist and child attacker Chelsea Handler and woman beater Joe Francis. I think they are even on the creepy friends thing.
LOL loving all of the comments above. I for one would love it if one day goes by without any JA stories regarding her breakup/not breakup relationship with JT. I think it probably has run its course since work commitments do not equal not being there for your significant other when someone they loved has passed.
She should just say she is over it/he is over it. I am sure Justin was all for what he thought Jennifer could do to his career and as Lainey has said he was game for playing the celebrity game.
Also I will be happy when Jennifer hits menopause so everyone stops speculating about her womb. She plays into it too since she knows she has to play into the minivan majority but seriously Jen fans. Sometimes women don’t want kids. It is highly likely that Jennifer Aniston is one of them. It doesn’t mean she is the devil or not a real woman it means her career is more important to her (shocking).
I am also kinda sad for Jennifer Aniston that most of her tabloid or articles are about her relationships, potential pregnancy, or her hair. Never about her work.
That’s HER fault.
Why do you think she pays her PR pimpin, catdaddy Huvane so much money? To find her good scripts? Oh, so you think she is focused on her career?
People tend to spend their money on what is most important to them. For her, it is about her looks, physical/sexual attractiveness to the opposite sex and staying POPULAR — yet never relevant.
LOL.
What can you say about her work except that she plays the same part over and over in a string of crappy rom-coms?
It’s really too bad, because she’s been good in a couple of films: Horrible Bosses and The Good Girl. But I think she’s a little lazy and doesn’t want to work that hard.

Amen!
I don’t know. I bet menopause will only put an end to womb watch. Then it’ll be all about adoption til she’s 70. Plus, if she is as afraid of aging as they say, she’s never going to admit to menopause.
What do you mean “when”?
LOL x2
I was under the impression menopause typically occurs in a woman’s 50s. I know fertility rapidly decreases in your 40s, but I also know a couple people who’s mom’s had them around 45 (and this was before in vitro).
Not true mercy, google then prepare yourself. It is really no joke. It’s amazing how little women know about their own bodies and the process of menopause. For instance, you aren’t truly in what’s technically known as ‘menopause,’ until you go a full year, 12 months, with no period. But there’s also the phase that occurs before this called perimenopause which can and does occur as young as late 30s and can and does last until your last period and you enter into ‘menopause.’ It can be just as life altering and a pain. The symptoms people associate with menopause, and they run the gamut, from the oft-cited hot flashes, to gastro problems, dizziness, depression, insomnia, all of the symptoms of PMS, heavy periods, no periods for several months, phantom periods, etc. start occurring years earlier in a phase called perimenopause, which can start as early as late 30s. So for instance, you can be 44 and may have only had 9 periods instead of 12, and your estrogen levels might be off, contributing to other perimenopausal symptoms. No doubt at 45 she’s experiencing this. Because symptoms are so fluid it’s why many women used to have ‘change of life,’ babies – they didn’t have a period for maybe 6 months one year, and thought they were officially in menopause, only to have 7 periods the next year, or 4 periods the following year, and that’s how some women wound up pregnant and horrified into their late 40s. It’s because they didn’t know that just because their periods stopped that didn’t mean they couldn’t all of a sudden start up again, and with a vengeance.
@Predictable …
Well said … and entirely true. 🙂
Or maybe real life is involve here too.
Maybe Aniston stayed in California since the weather is awful on the East coast. And the weathermen had given a good 5 day notice things would get ugly. So Justin could not leave and risk not being able to get back, if he left NYC, since he is filming his show.
Whose to say.
The weather has been SO awful here. I’ve been on Long Island and honestly, it feels like I’ve been at our Adirondack place. I want to be somewhere warm.
That could be it. She may have work obligations too and couldn’t afford to risk getting stuck in NY.
Come on now…..apply logic? That’s just silly. 😉
Um – Cate Blanchett managed to get there straight away after hearing about PSH’s death and she was also there for the funeral. And what do you know – she even managed to get back to LA after the funeral. Cate managed to do all of that by cancelling her work commitments (despite having to campaign for her Oscar).
Where there is a will there is a way and Jennifer just didn’t care about PSH despite working with him nor care about her fiancé who was devastated after losing such a close friend.
There is no way Jen hens can excuse this like they way they excuse everything about Jennifer – from her triple home wrecking to fake relationships to pity parties to pregnancy rumours.
PSH passed away before the bad weather arrived. Many other celebs managed to get to NYC before the storm hit. These two have been having trouble for some time. I don’t know why actors think an on set fling will translate into a lasting relationship. If she had a lick of sense she’s look for a guy outside of show business.
Maya,
+ 1000.
Sounds like all her typical excuses for not having a baby or not really directing. LOL!
I was talking about the weather for Jennifer Aniston’s birthday and Valentine’s Day, Hey, maybe she just didn’t want to go to PSH’s funeral. Maybe she sucks as a human being. Or maybe she had commitments we don’t know about. Who knows? I think she should have at the very least supported her fiance when someone who was clearly his friend passed away, but I have no idea what the circumstances were in either of their lives at the time.
This is all speculative at this point. More evidence is needed to see if they have drifted apart.
All the dudes have that jacket Justin is wearing.
Mmmm is someone missing a sensitivity chip???
Oh you’re naughty (and I like it!)
Man Jennifer and Huvane are really busy with these plants and leaks arent they? We know the Oscars are in 2 weeks time and already predicted that they will do anything to try and upstage a certain couple we know.
I’m glad somebody recognizes media manipulation when they see it!
Maya: right on the money, like clock work, from now until the oscars Aniston is going to find something to be the center of attention, as long as her ex Brad Pitt is going to be front and center with 12 Years a Slave. Aniston and Justin is not broken up, she has the money and he is not going nowhere all he has to do is do is go along with the program.
Oh, I forgot the excuse “plotting and planning.”
Well, there you go. Of course, Aniston couldn’t be distracted by something as trivial as her former- drug addict fiance’s close friend dying from a heroin OD. PR strategies are much more important.
The relationship seem to have run its course. That is okay, it happens to everyone.
OMG. They’re done, over, finished. Next.
If she wanted to, from a PR view, she could have played it very differently.
Went to NYC to support him. Shop and lunch with some NY contacts. Drop in on the morning talk shows. Make a PA with her Living Proof products at Times Square Sephora. Jet off to interview Steinam and return to sit front row at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week looking chic and fabulous.
Instead. Crickets.
This!!
I think that Kaiser’s theories yesterday about Justin basically using Jen and now acting like he couldn’ t care less are spot on. My theory about why Jen wasn’t in NY for the funeral? I think Justin told her not to come. I think he claimed he didn’t want it to turn into a media circus of paparazzi trying to get pics of her. I don’t think he cares at all about the fact that her bday was a few days later, that she could have stayed and they could have spent it together, that she had also worked closely with Philip Seymour Hoffman, and that her absence was definitely going to generate “poor Jen” publicity. He is a type. I’ve run into this guy before. Have any of you? He’s not so dark and mysterious and tough. He is cute and talented, but he’s getting too old for his little act. He should try growing up now. If they are separating and it’s by her choice, then i would love it, too, if she made a statement declaring her independence from this relationship. But she won’t for a long time. I think it would take her a while to understand the value of making a statement like that. She’s no Cameron Diaz, after all.
If there was “using” here, it was entirely consensual and mutual.
Has she stopped smoking? Because THAT is what is making her look old – 45 ain’t that old with all the beauty treatments she has at her disposal.
Remember, she’s 45! She doesn’t look bad at all. I say that knowing she’s had things done but in my opinion these procedures don’t make women look younger. She has to be showing some signs of aging, because skin ages! However, if she stopped smoking and drinking, yes, she would of course look even better. But we have to be able to accept the fact that skin shows lines and loses elasticity, and it’s not reason to ridicule someone, especially another woman.
I realize for the young ‘uns 45 may not seem like young. But it is.
Aniston looks more like a 55 year old. It’s her own fault with the smoking and suntanning. Many, many women look more youthful than Aniston does at 45 and they don’t have all her resources or the time to even spend on preserving a youthful look.
If they do split up, it’ll be “pooe” Jennifer all over again and again…..they’ll make it all Justin’s fault while she cries in her vodka in Cabo.
Justin had somebody. He ditched her for Aniston. We reap what we sow.
I agree with you. My thoughts on that: he wasn’t married. Period. And to me, that does matter a little bit. However, I do not like at all what I believe she did. He was in a long term, committed relationship. Whatever bs he told her, she was old enough and experienced enough to know she had the choice to not buy it. On her end, the biological clock had almost stopped ticking (don’t know how she feels about that), and, in addition, most people want to be loved. But when you stand back and objectively look at Justin Theroux – he was a man who had a gf for 14 years that he didn’t commit to, that he insisted keep her own apartment in the same building, and that he was willing to dump over an actress in one of his movies. We have to be careful with the choices we make. All of us do. And in love, it’s so hard to think clearly. I know from making poor choices when i was younger that at least being at peace with yourself and your decisions when your head hits the pillow at night can be a success in and of itself. I’m sorry for being so darn preachy! I have been snowed in with my kids for a week and I’m losing it!
I don’t think it matters if he was married to Heidi or not—they were in a relationship. Them not being married was one of the reasons that it wasn’t cheating…..according to some of Jennifer’s more overzealous fans. No ring= no cheating.
What I didn’t like about it was that they were going on public dates before he said anything to Heidi. Now, sure, falling out of love–it happens. But I think that you owe your partner enough to put on your big girl panties, and tell him/her that you’re not in love with them anymore, you want to get with someone else. But that’s not what happened. It was a pr f-ckery from the beginning.
And funnily enough, they (well, Jennifer) confirmed that Justin was cheating on Heidi with her. See, May 25, 2011 is when Jennifer was running to PEOPLE, telling anyone who would listen that she and Justin weren’t dating, that she would never date someone with a girlfriend—so we know that Justin and Heidi were, to the public, a couple–none of that on/off bs.
But in June 2011, they had another article about their romance, that Jennifer HAD to throw a party for him, to introduce him to her friends (Chelsea and Courtney were specifically mentioned)–the date of the party?
May 27th.
Sooooo–they weren’t dating on May 25th–which is when Jennifer and Heidi’s mom denied it to US weekly, et al, but two days later they’ve been dating long enough to be introduced to each other’s friends?? Whatever. That’s what turned me off of both of them. I still think Justin’s hot and all…

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20499079,00.html
(that was rather restrained for me, I think. I was trying not to monopolize the thread, as I seem to always do)
Also forgot to say that she was introducing him as her boyfriend, on a film set, when the film premiered April 20th, 2011–so God knows when they actually started……for perspective, Justin was out and about with Heidi, went to a Broadway premiere, and posed as a couple on April 25th, 2011.
@Missionintherain, who wrote: “But when you stand back and objectively look at Justin Theroux – he was a man who had a gf for 14 years that he didn’t commit to, that he insisted keep her own apartment in the same building, and that he was willing to dump over an actress in one of his movies.”
Why in the world would Justin Theoroux stay with a woman fro 14 years if he wasn’t ‘committed’ to be there? A signed marriage license is ‘not’ the only sign of commitment. And why do some people (I’m not saying you) assume Heidy Bivens spent those 14 years trying to get Justin to marry her? People here champion Jennifer Aniston’s right not to want or have kids. Shouldn’t we also champion Heidy’s right not to want marriage? Not to see ‘that’ as the only reason and prize of staying with a man she obviously loved for 14 years?
Not wanting to be married doesn’t make Justin a heel, nor does it make Jennifer flaky and self-involved (I personally think she’s in the closet, and won’t ever marry another ‘man,’ but I’ll be happy if she finally marries a man or a woman).
Finally … Heidy and Justin lived togehter for the last 6-years of their relationship. The big clue was when ‘she’ had to move ‘out’ of their apartment once the truth ‘finally’ broke about Jen and Justin.
Lia – If you were with someone for 14 years and it wasn’t doing it for you anymore, and you met someone you wanted to be with more, you wouldn’t feel you had the right to leave? We have relationships to be happy. Obviously, he wasn’t. And if he thought he was until she came along, well, it happens. It sucks terribly for the one left behind, but we don’t know what will consume us. I’m not at all invested in either of these two, I’m speaking generally. They’re celebs but they’re still people doing the same things all of us are doing. Again, generally speaking. I don’t mean you.
I completely agree—but the thing is is that he didn’t just break it off with Heidi and then go to Jennifer. He and Jennifer were hanging out in LA for a good two and a half months at least (from March 27, date of the party that Jennifer threw), and were insinuating, and then denying that they were together. That’s what I don’t like–not that he fell out of love with Heidi.
It is and always has been a faux-mance and I’m relieved they didn’t perpetuate the charade at the expense of Hoffmann’s family.
JustJenn’s relationship is similar to many a cliched movie script where girl meets the bad boy and overcome obstacles because they’re so much in love.
It was intriguing for a while but has probably played itself out. There might be a brief reconciliation or some kind of bombshell but their “relationship” will be history within a few months.
Suspected as much after reading yesterday’s post. She’s the one driving her relationships but has insisted on carving a relevance out of being the perpetual dumpee. It’s tiresome.
Yes, yes, yes.
I don’t believe they have broken up or are taking time apart. They each have their schedules on separate coasts, so they have agreed about trying to cope with being apart more often. The time and effort it takes to get from one coast to the other can make it unreasonable to go back and forth more than absolutely necessary. Agreed, kind of unfortunate he couldn’t be around for her birthday…..
i am sure a lot of people were working when PSH died but they did what we all do when we get that sad and at times sudden news we make the time to attend the funeral. she could have made the trip. either Justin & Jen have cooled off or Justin for whatever personal reason wanted to attend by himself.
They are not “officially” breaking up until after the Oscars when there will be rag covers to for her PR people to hijack (let’s see if People is that stupid – again).
I’ll bet there is a sighting of the two of them together this week, especially with “other people” being at the BAFTAs and all the photos coming out of there.
My God–if they have another cover like they did last year i.e. “How Jennifer Conquered the Oscars”, I will, on one hand, be pissed off at PEOPLE for pushing the Oscar winners to the sidebar AGAIN, but on the other hand, I will laugh my ass off. That is prime gossip gold right there. I remember last year, all of us just sitting at our computers or phones, all laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the cover. Any other week, I would’ve said, good for Jennifer, etc–but the Oscars??? Come on–who did she bribe to get that cover?
I wouldn’t be amused, since this year’s Oscars is shaping up to be a nail-biter. The results of the Oscars race would result in infinitely more interesting article/conversation than the usual ” Why can’t Jen keep a man?’ cover.
It’s equal parts horror and fascination.
And honestly, that cover after the Oscars did her no favors (with me). Because up until then, the most I had thought about their relationship was that Justin was pretty hot to me, until he opened his mouth (seriously, his voice is uber douchey and annoying–like Jared Leto–they both sound like old frat boys), and man, he gave her an ugly engagement ring, rosecut diamond (or whatever that thing is)–it might’ve worked if it was smaller. That was it.
I didn’t have any conspiracy theories about their relationship until that stupid cover (and the one after) came out. So it’s really all Jennifer’s fault. If she hadn’t had those PEOPLE covers, I doubt that the breakup rumors would be half as strong as they are now.
I’m actually so tired of them.
It’s amazing how multi-faceted a pity party can be.
In these days of video phone calls, it’s hard to know what kind of relationship they have. A friend’s daughter and her boyfriend live in two different countries separated by an ocean. But they Skype every day. Texting and regular phone calls can keep people together so easily also. For all we know, Jen and her guy could have talked for hours every day and saw each other via computer. I would assume he asked her not to come to the funeral, he might have needed that time with his friends.
sorry, Star magazine, but if you have just turned 45 you are not “pushing 50.” I can’t imagine they’d say that about a man who was born in 1969. Seriously. Am I the only one who was bothered by that?
