I keep expecting the Jennifer Aniston-Cake tour to continue riding and riding until we’re all Caked out, but Jennifer’s shill seems to be over now. Cake got a wider release this past weekend (482 theaters) and it didn’t make much of an impact financially, only making $1 million, according to Box Office Mojo. So, that’s done. Cake is not a financial success, Jennifer didn’t get an Oscar nomination and now what? We’re just supposed to go back to talking about when JustJen will get married?
I guess so. First, I wanted to mention this E! story from last week – when Jennifer was in NYC promoting Cake last week, Justin came along and they went out to dinner with friends. The group ended up spending four hours in the restaurant, ordering vodka with lime and ribeye steaks and spaghettini. Oh, and the entire dessert menu, because hey, she’s not going to the Oscars, so why would she need to diet? A source told E! that Justin and Jennifer were “both very smitten with one another, and they acted very much like a couple.” Just for those people who think Justin Theroux and Jennifer are on the rocks. Meanwhile, the Enquirer’s Mike Walker claims that Jennifer is hellbent on changing her name once she and Justin marry:
NAME GAMING! When – or is it “if?” – Jennifer Aniston marries Justin Theroux, she’s vowed, despite her fiancé’s heartfelt objections, that she’ll tack on HIS last name and be known, henceforth, as “Jennifer Aniston Theroux!”… YEOW! …
Said a source close to Jen: “Justin’s totally against the idea! He thinks Jen has made a huge name for herself, and her brand is her name. But Jen, who never added Brad Pitt’s last name when they were married, wants to add Theroux – not only as a gesture of their union – but also because she thinks Theroux is such a pretty, melodic sounding surname. She loves the sound of being ‘Jennifer Aniston Theroux!’”
I’m pretty sure that Jennifer did change her name to Aniston-Pitt while married to Brad, but professionally she was still just Jennifer Aniston. She only used Pitt in her private life. I’m assuming it would be the same with Theroux – she would still use only her maiden name professionally, but she would hyphenate (or whatever) once she and Justin got married. Whenever that happens. While I doubt Justin and Jennifer are going to break up any time soon, I really believe he’s gun-shy about marriage. He really doesn’t want to go through with it.
Meanwhile, the trailer for Jennifer’s latest film was released several days ago. This is for She’s Funny That Way. To be fair, it’s not really an Aniston film, she’s just part of an ensemble. The real stars are Owen Wilson and Imogen Poots (Poots is doing a really hokey New York accent too). Aniston plays the therapist, seemingly to all of the characters? This looks cheesy.

It’s her choice. I think, however, if they really wanted to be married, they’d be married. So I’m not holding my breath.
They know they aren’t going to multiply. So, no urgency to marry. I wish she would just make an Oprah statement and say she is never marrying.
Yes, I don’t care if they marry or not. What annoys me is the big engagement announcement, then the fake annoyance that people are constantly asking them about getting married. Just say you’re committed to each other but don’t plan to get married, or just get married. I tired of hearing about it. Lol
But if she did that, there would be nothing to report about her. Unless you count her diet, her hair, and her yoga, and how funny Justin is. . .
Absolutely!
It just seems like they’re engaged to generate news. To keep their names out there. Just like Aniston adoption, pregnancy, going topless for film rumors. These get repeated.
If she was engaged to be married it would have happened. They’re milking this.
@FLORC
I’m wondering how long they’ll keep it up. Because I remember like two years ago (probably on one of the PEOPLE magazine posts, the one she did about how she and Justin couldn’t get married because they were busy), and I said that if they got married before I turned 19 (late that year), that I’d be SO surprised. And LAK (I think) said something like we’d all be dancing on my 21st birthday before they got married…well…we’ve got 11 months to go, and I agree with LAK.
It’s one thing to say, “we’re so excited to be engaged, I’m already deciding on my wedding hair!”(which is what Jennifer said), and another thing to say “we’re so excited to be engaged and to affirm our commitment to each other”……both are engaged, one suggests that they’re getting ready for a wedding “soon”, and the other suggests that they’re happy being together. With or without a wedding.
I’ve been engaged for over two years now and we don’t have a date set or even in mind yet. We are both in our early 40’s and neither have nor want children so we aren’t in any rush. Not everyone is in a rush to get married.
But are you giving interviews about your dress and other details, and how you have “hot feet” then getting annoyed when people ask if you’ve set a date and are harassing you to get married? That’s what annoys me about these too, put up or shut up.
regarding her ‘marriage’ if she really wants to get married then they will. what i find is that they esp ja keep saying 1 thing and doing something else. it is not our business but when it is such an obvious pr exercise then it gets more amusing than anything else because what else can she talk abt – her body her film her non existent nom for any major award etc – all she has left is her wedding and her pregnancy – wash rinse and repeat. there is nothing original abt her actions. i mean cameron diaz got married quicker than her – she obviously wanted to be married and she went ahead and did it. so by that logic if ja truly wanted to marry she wd have by now – its just becoming a long drawn out saga.
I know “everyone’s not in a rush to get married.” Nor should they be. I just don’t see the point in getting engaged if you’re not going to get married. That’s what engaged means – we’re going to get married. If you’re unsure or don’t want to do it yet, I just don’t see the point. Not everyone has to agree with that, of course.
Agree GNAT. How long has this been going on?
Also, I love her reason for taking his name. It sounds pretty. I bet she has been writing Mrs Jennifer Aniston Theroux in her diary seventy different ways.
She never gives up her self-booting news abt herself. And CAKE did not gross 1M, it’s 0.91M.
lol
.
cake is a dud that is the impt point to note. another flop to be added to the ja resume. what a waste of a movie
Yes but you’ll note the media is not calling her out for her movie tanking. And I say her movie, because while promoting, it was all I, I, I, and me, me, me. I had begun to think there were no other people in the movie.
I said on an earlier thread that since Cake was being touted as HER movie, it is only fair to call it HER flop. Especially since the rest of the cast was essentially kicked to the curb during all the promos.
And she promoted it everywhere! Multiple magazine covers, GMA, Jon Stewart, Tonight Show. People do not show up for her in these roles. She paid more for her failed Oscar campaign than her movie grossed.
To be fair, it may be that no one wanted to see the movie, period. I know depressing movies are totally not my thing. But you’re right, she alone couldn’t open that movie well.
It do find it interesting that the publicity machine for the movie never tried to sell it as a strong ensemble piece – there are some decent actors in that movie, and it feels like they never did any publicity for it. I don’t think she’s ever opened a movie, so it was odd that they tried that tactic here. I feel like the PR that was done was done solely for her to win an award, not to sell the movie as a whole.
I really think this movie might have found a great audience on say, HBO. It just doesn’t have the demographic appeal for theatre goers.
@Josephine
I don’t mind depressing movies. I just CAN’T watch movies with bullies, like “Whiplash”. I swear to you, I was tearing up and flinching when I watched the freaking trailer. I won’t ever be able to watch that movie, ever. But I didn’t think “Cake” looked good (or anything better than a lifetime movie), period.
And I find it interesting that Felicity Huffman and William H. Macey were both at the SAG awards, and didn’t go take pictures with Jennifer–especially since they were all in the movie that she was nominated for.
@ Virgilia – Ooh, I didn’t know that. That’s so crazy. So what the heck was going on with that group? Did anyone at all from the movie really support her? Why all the silence? They’re actually good actors! It does make me super suspicious.
@Josephine
I was looking at all of the SAG pics, and didn’t see one of all of them together. So I googled their names together, nothing. I think the only pics I saw of Jennifer at the SAGs were with Meryl and Julia Roberts.
Really odd though. I wonder if there’s bad blood. Because to me, it just seems a REALLY obvious thing to do. And the whole thing is televised, so you’d think that there’d be some big story, accompanying screen shots, something like ” ‘Cake’ castmate Felicity Huffman congratulates SAG nominee, Jennifer Aniston”…along with some ditty about how happy/excited Felicity is for Jennifer. Or something. NOPE.
I just thought it was so weird.
I can’t believe I remember this but she definitely changed her name when she married Brad Pitt because that was part of their divorce settlement — that her name would change back to Aniston once the divorce was finalized. (Not that he requested the change, I think she just checked a box on the paperwork.) And I’ve never believed that she really wants to marry Justin anyway so I don’t think either one of them is in any rush. I think they’ll break up before they ever marry!
From what I can recall, she wasn’t even Aniston-Pitt socially when she was married. She was plain Jennifer Pitt. I remember in a People article where she was buying personal stationery. She was still Aniston professionally. I don’t care though. It’s her name; she can do what she wants.
I’m embarrassed to know this but she changed her name to Jennifer Joanne Pitt when she married him. And she used Aniston professionally. She legally changed it back when they divorced. *hangs head*
@Stef Leppard
Lol, I was reading a ton of old PEOPLE articles (found a REALLY interesting article about Sidney Poitier’s affair with Diahonn Carroll), and that was like the FIRST thing that was talked about when she filed for divorce–she was changing her name back to Jennifer Aniston, legally. But I’m pretty sure it’s on her PEOPLE biography thing as well…..like an interesting ‘factoid’…I think that’s where I read it first.
Professionally she kept her maiden name, but in her personal life she was Jennifer Pitt.
I remember the details of that, too. Makes me wonder how much important stuff I’ve forgotten while hanging onto that useless piece of information.
I wonder why no one asked her about what work projects she had in the future. I was curious if she has announced any new roles based on the “buzz” for Cake.
Now that is over it seems the media is back on wedding watch/baby watch. I think if she and Justin just went off and got married that would quiet a lot of it. AND NO no one has to get married.. but it is the logical conclusion when you get engaged. Cameron and Benji got married very quickly. So it is possible. Neither she nor Justin seem to have much in the pipeline so Just go and do it.. Enjoy your life.. moving on and all that stuff.
Correction – it isn’ the media that’s back on wedding/baby watch. Aniston’s bid to be taken seriously didn’ go as well as she had hoped, so she and Huvane are in fallback position to their tried and true PR strategy. We’ll have plenty more stories about the “triangle” as well, despite Aniston’s protests of “BS”.
I have to agree here. In the first round of interviews campaigning for awards, she was “it is not fair to ask about babies and marriage”. She said her dog was her child. Cool. Second set of interviews after no Academy nomination, it is “we want and are trying” and it is OK to ask about it. Fine either way, but at least be consistent. It is the whiplash effect–one day this, next day that.
Other busy couples can get married (some twice) without fuss, in private and then go on with their lives. She, if she wanted to, could do the same thing. It is her business, but she and others can’t blame the media for what she herself keeps talking about. It is not an accident.
Not necessarily to do with this, but since Moore is discussed elsewhere, I thought the two photo spreads and article in the same magazine were so different. Aniston in her underwear with a somewhat tabloidy story, Moore fully clothed being asked serious questions. Interesting contrast.
@ephinany. You’ll note, she and only she brings the “triangle” up when it serves her purpose. And no other time. During the award season, there is no triangle and everyone needs to move on. Now that she wasn’t nominated for the thing she especially wanted, I can see her starting the triangle up again.
Funny you say baby watch…because I bet more than a few, including Jen, are watching very closely. Getting close now.
I wonder about future work projects as well. I always think that it is interesting question for any actor. I think she may be directing next?
I don’t think people would care about “will they or won’t they” if they hadn’t covered People magazine with the ring and photo session from the engagement. They brought the speculation on themselves by using the engagement as a big PR event. It’s always better for celebs when they are quieter about such personal news.
Probably We’re the Millers 2. Where she can showcase her talent of not wearing clothes in movies.
Her work in Cake will probably not do a thing for her career wise. The top directors and studios have enough more talented actresses to choose from. Jen is never top pick for the great roles.
If she marries, what will be left she can sell? Plz Be married to your JT man ASAP.
There are more things to shill: Pregnancy and babies.
Why doesn’t he change his name to Justin Anniston?
Or how about Just Aniston?
^This.
Seriously funny, mimif.
He should change his first name to Henry David.
Bahaha. You win.
+1 emoting eyebrow ❤️Kiddárritu😻
Love the name change* Kiddo.
Aniston take note, this is how you take your beloved’s name.
*well done mimif
Why do people make a big deal about a woman changing their name after marriage? The majority of women do, including celebrities. Most celebrities don’t do it professionally but almost all do it privately.
Most men that I know would be happy for their spouse to take their names. And i remembe rin one interview years ago she said on her drivers license etc it has Pitt.
Omg Imogen’s accent sounds like a joke. I hope its supposed to sound that ridiculous on purpose
The entire movie looks ridiculous, and you can tell it’s bad because they filmed this movie like at least 3 years ago, and it’s just coming out now.
Maybe they though that this would get a boost from Cake and Jen’s award campaign? Jen’s not the female lead of this either. Direct to video, I think.
I don’t see the wedding happening. Its great if it happens, but they are that point in their life where it doesn’t make much of difference whether their married or not. Especially if they’re not looking to having kids or adopting. If anything it will probably bring more complications to their current state or relationship. I think she likes the idea of getting married but when push comes to shove will she really do it?
Why does Justin look so shiny?
Yeah I want to know more about that than the name change.
Sweaty.
I feel like I could probably see my reflection in his shiny, shiny face.
IF and WHEN! Still, JT seems smarter than he looks, he is right when he says keep your name as it is Jen Aniston!
His smooth and shiny face, I think she is taking him to cosmetologist to laser it, looks like baby’s backside.
It doesn’t really matter if she wants to change her name or not. They’re never getting married.
She wants to become known as Mrs. Jennifer Whatshisface ?
No, Mrs. Jennifer Eyebrows.
Mrs. Jennifer Eyebrows McWaxFigure
I say she has a “tell all” book out within 5 years. Like mother like daughter. The only reason I changed my name when I got married is because I knew I would have kids and didn’t want a different last name. I have a cousin whose husband took her last name. Maybe it’s a romantic, symbolic thing to some people. Five years and I still forget and sign my maiden name. But they actually have to get married for this to even be relevant. I really, really hope they do.
I’m an old coot who was married for the second time 7 years ago. I don’t have children and my husband has been a grandfather for quite awhile. So I kept my maiden name. I like my maiden name. Got it back 30 years ago in the divorce decree.
Still some people forget, or assume that I “took” my second husband’s surname. I should wear a name tag.
Wasn’t she Jennifer Pitt on her DL and note cards/invites? I remember reading that somewhere.
This is a moot point as we all know she will never marry him.
CAN SHE GO AWAY ALREADY? omg.
no sadly she is going to be for a bit longer – perhaps she will be invited to present at the oscars or something? wouldnt be surprised. abt her ‘marriage’ what real difference will it make to them both – she is in la he is part time in new york so why go through the hassle regardless and more importantly if she gets married than the triangle will officially be over so what else will she be able to talk about then? this is a very impt issue after all –
Since the awards campaign was a bust, we’re back to normal with the weekly tabloid wedding/baby bump stories. Two tabloids are running stories this week. A $10,000 honeymoon suite in — guess where — Cabo, and Courtney Cox is not invited. Plus ça change…
She’s getting a little old for a pregnancy watch, isn’t she? Although I guess Halle Berry was able to accidentally get pregnant in her late 40’s. But still, if she gets pregnant at this age, that’s when I will lose respect for her. Unlike a lot of people, I still find her quite likeable and watchable.
You will lose respect for her IF she gets pregnant? Really?
Did you lose respect for Laura Linney who gave birth at 49?
Did you lose respect for Geena Davis?
So you find her likeable but would lose respect if she got pregnant?
How would you feel if she adopted a baby? Used Surrogate?
Sorry I’m bemused by your comment
Why would you lose respect for her? That seems a bit harsh.
if she does get pregnant i will be very surprised and shocked because i just dont see her as the nurturing type imo. who really knows? and besides it all depends on if jt will be game for parenthood
Halle’s pregnancy was the most strategically planned accident ever lol
On the other hand, I would gain an inordinate amount of respect for her if she would finally, once and for all, tell everyone the truth; she doesn’t want kids, she’s never wanted kids, she likes being unencumbered, traveling when she wants, drinking, smoking, etc… children aren’t and never were in her plans. And I mean declare it that blatantly, no passive/aggressive equivocating. As much as I dislike her now, I would go completely and utterly JenHen.
Want to see how normal Jen’s fans are?
Photoshopping her into Angelina’s place in photos…….

Birds of a feather flock together. What a gross…
No wonder Brad and Angelina have so much security. Yikes.
OMG
Wtf?! Bizarre.
O.M.F.G.
Her fans are never going to let it go. In 2045 they are going to be hoping for Brad to repudiate Angie and their children and grandchildren and live happily ever after with Jennifer in the Old Folks Home.
I guess the tabloids ran out of stories about old Jen.
Actually, this new movie isn’t new at all. It was completed three years ago back when Owen Wilson still had some clout at the box office, and sat moldering on the shelf ever since.
When a movie sits around for three years without being released, it begins to give off malodorous vibes. This one is no exception.
The trailer was wretched. I would watch The Interview twice before I would even watch that trailer again.
I think their relationship is real but the engagement and wedding talk is pure PR- it doesnt seem like they at all want to get married to me. she just wants to bolster her claims that she’s completely happy and has totally moved on and brad who? etc.
I always though Justin wasn’t right for Jen because he was a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker and Jen was the sunny Californian.
But I was so wrong. He is always tan and seems to love living in Malibu or wherever they live. And visiting New York for periods of time is enough for him.
Lol, I always thought it was the other way around. Whenever Jennifer has/had a premiere of some kind of industry party or any kind of party, you always see Justin. And then, a few days later, he’ll be pictured back in New York (I look at a lot of different fansites for random celebs)….so it’s always been my impression that he’s in NYC, while Jennifer is in LA, both doing whatever they’re doing, and when it’s time to go on vacation, smile for the cameras, and get their drink on, they get together. It seems like a very casual relationship–certainly not what I’d expect from two people that are engaged and in lurve. Like, don’t they have sex? Seriously. They’re both middle aged, not dead.
But yes–his tan needs to go. And if he wore normal pants, he’d be 10x hotter.
That’s when he got the lead in his HBO series. He started filming his TV show in NY and that’s when he started being papped being there a lot. Before that, he happily moved to Malibu (LA?) in a big mansion they picked out and renovated together and still lives there, but is now in NY when he films for his show. I think he enjoys getting back to New York, but he embraced the California/Hollywood life more than I thought he would.
@Jayna
I know that he did that BEFORE he got his show (I definitely remember, because the Jennifer/Justin relationship beginnings were when I REALLY got into gossip, I was just a casual reader before)…..I remember they were always pictured coming out of a store, and he was always carrying her bags (so sweet!), and that whenever she was filming a movie (like I think she did “We’re The Millers” in this timeframe), he would go back and visit Uncle Terry (GROSS!) in NYC.
But that all changed when he got his tv show. He went to NYC in like 2013 and filmed for most of the year, and during/after that, it seemed to go the way I said it went. He shows up to be Jennifer’s date for premieres, and they also go on vacation and meet up in LA to go to dinner parties and holidays. They seem like casual, “special” friends.
And I wonder when his show’s coming back on. I saw that it was confirmed for 2nd season, and I guess they’re waiting for Liv to give birth, but there’s no production date or anything.
Jayna, I think he would embrace living in East Podunk, as long as she was paying for it.
Jennifer looks like “fillers: how not to” in that trailer. On the other hand, the trailer reminded me how hot Kathryn Hahn is.
Stop it stop it he is not going to marry her. All of this nonsense is to keep her name in the tabloid papers. Jennifer Anniston is a petty adult who surrounds herself with petty people who agree with her. She is not the only individual who exhusband felt in love with someone else and move on.
@ truth, You are so right and this can be shouted from the mountain top, but after 10 pity party years, Jen is a saint. She was left for someone else and deserves everything and more. I agree with your comments.
Suddenly I find her exhausting
And does anyone know why he is so shiny and plucked looking? He looks like he just got back from a man-spa.
A plucked chicken. A plucked, over done roasted chicken, that’s what he now reminds me of lol.
I believe that Justin truly loves her, but if he wants a great career being with her is not great. She will always steal the spotlight as Brad’s ex, and as the old Debbie Renolds.
Him, being on his own, would him a macho, independent, manly vibe. With her, he’s a shadow, will never compare to Brad. I actually feel bad for him. I don’t for her, because she has chosen the loner/ but with lots of friends with their own lives, lifestyle for the sake of her career and it’s done Ok for her.
Move on Justin, keep your life private, away from Jen, and I think you could be the next, don’t kow his name, but he’s in Taken 3 movie. Someone who is smart, private and successful on his own, not due to an Ok actress who’s fame is more about her x then her work.
She’s not credible. Because she’s been holding on to Brad for so long, even now no one believes she’s moved on. Justin deserves better. She will always be the victim, not because anyone made her that, but because she herself made her out to be one for a very long time. She now blames the media. Where was she when her friend was insulting her x wife?
Others have been divorced, and most of us don’t even remember who they were as they moved on, but not her. She still brings it up, and her actions are of someone who wants to be seen as everyone’s friend, and it’s a turn off. Get a life, do movies, say less, keep your private life private, coming out together all the time isn’t doing him any justice. She will always be Brads x and this is really too bad for her.
She holds grudges, and the fact that she hasn’t been able to forgive her elderly mother speaks volumes, and another reason why no one believes she’s moved on. Anjie doesn’t trust her, I bet, nor should she. I don’t think Anjie needs her for anything either. That’s the difference between an independent woman, and a cling on one.
The media brings it up just like you are!
She allows them to bring it up
She WANTS them to bring it up! Otherwise her level of fame would be on par with David Schwimmer.
And just to be clear, it isn’t Brad the man she can’t go let of, Her feelings for him, IMO, were always lukewarm at best. It’s the fame and prestige of being Mrs. Brad Pitt that she craves.
She doesn’t allow them to bring it up, she encourages them to bring it up. She could easily stop it at any time by refusing to answer any and all questions remotely connected with Brad Pitt. And really, what else does she have to talk about?
That is nonsense maggie, she tells the media to bring it up or she brings it up herself.
But at the same time she needs the publicity no matter what.that’s the difference between her and other hw actresses ja is like the kim k version of a hw actress.even negative publicity is gd enough for her Imo.difference between her and Reese w after that drunk driving was that she disappeared came back did something acting producing got an Oscar nom she made things happen – ja hasn’t learnt that lesson at all.
They are not getting married.
If they get married.
no her current name rimes
Um, what?
It’s not like they need a big fancy wedding (at their ages, not usually the norm) and considering it’s her 2nd marriage. They could do it simply like go to the courthouse and then throw a big party or courthouse then a Cabo celebration or elope or whatever . They also could hire a wedding planner to whip something up in no time at all and considering money is no object, it would be easy-peasy to do. ALL of this tells me they are not really into getting married at all now or ever. Long engagements rarely do result in marriage. I find it’s always more likely the dude trying to make the “little lady” happy by putting a ring on it, but dudes have no intention of actually getting married. If JA and JT were all about LOVE and excited about a lifetime together (and not wanting a wedding for attention and PR), they would have done it by now. I wonder if Cameron organizing a wedding so quick made her realize how silly she looks with the endless engagement at 46 (because you KNOW she cares what others think..she doesn’t change, but she CARES BIG-TIME, hence the PR overload). Then again, JA plays victim, she woud like justify it by saying “easy for Cameron, she’s never been married and publicly dumped by her husband before, boohoo”. Somehow I think Jennifer has an answer/reason for everything (Aquarius lol).
I don’t know whether SHE really wants to be married? An engagement keeps him locked down and ends the speculation about her status. She seems pretty content living away from him half of the year and doing her own thing.
I’m 100% convinced these two are never going to marry just stay engaged forever
This is an OLD story.. I remember people talking about it before. And I don’t think it is a true story either. When one major fact is wrong they you can dismiss the entire thing. She as others have noted changed her name to J-Pitt. After the divorce she had her name Aniston returned. Jennifer Lopez just said she had done the same thing. I think most women do that. Especially if they got married before they became a famous name.
I remember he saying that Justin’s mom would be upset if they eloped; and that they had too many friends that would be disappointed if they couldn’t come.. OK. Neither is 20 something; and at this point in your life it should be about the 2 of you. It was interesting that she talked about his Mom.. I don’t know if they have ever been photographed together since she got with him. But I could have missed it.
@lisa2. I must have missed all those pics too.
When she married Brad Pitt, she legally changed her name to “Jennifer Joanne Pitt.” But Aniston is not really her last name, it’s Anastasakis. Her father, the actor John Aniston (aka Victor Kiriakis from “Days of Our Lives”) changed his last name when he emigrated to the US from Greece. I, for one, think it is nice that she wants to add her husband’s surname to her name. When I got married (after being established in my profession for a while), I added my husband’s surname to my name (NO HYPHEN!!!!) and professionally went by my First Name/Maiden Name/Husband’s Surname, and socially went by My First Name/Husband’s Surname. I agree with her…Theroux is a beautiful name and it is unique enough to not take away from her “brand.” I really hope JustJen makes it because I like them together. I never really “got” the hype over Brad Pitt. Sure, he was cute enough back in the “Thelma & Louise” and “Se7en” days. Never my version of the “ideal man.” I think Justin is absolutely GORGEOUS…far more attractive, IMHO, than Brad Pitt. Especially the 2015, “hipster troll that lives under a bridge and hasn’t bathed in years” version of Brad Pitt.
MizFabulous: If what you say is true, and I know it’s just your opinion, then why can’t she let Brad rest in peace? Seems like she’s always throwing Justin under the bus.
Justin’s extended family is quite well educated and literary. Look up Paul Theroux, Alexander Theroux, Peter Theroux, Marcel Theroux and Louis Theroux. I don’t think Aniston would fit in at all. From what I heard she doesn’t read anything but self-help books.
If the family name was changed before Aniston was born, then yes, it is her REAL NAME.
Since she’s said she doesn’t want kids (and he seems pretty squeamish about marriage), maybe they won’t get married after all. Also, if there was a rush down the aisle for the Jolie-Pitt’s benefit (I don’t know and I don’t care if that was the case), that’s a moot issue now.
“What a fabulous idea, Ravensdaughter.” Yes, I’m glad I mentioned it, although I can’t imagine that Jen and Justin haven’t discussed that option many, many times already.
My advice to Singletons (especially in community property states) is this-you don’t have to get married unless you really believe in marriage (I think believing in the institution of marriage has to be why some couples can keep their marriage together-it’s a type of faith) and/or you are planning to have kids.
The reason I mention kids is because if you are NOT married to your babydaddy or babymama, all kinds of awful things can happen that should not happen within the boundaries of family law.
It’s complicated; I’ll spare you my personal example.
Besides, look at the $$$$ that Jen earns every year. As California residents, once they are married, Justin is entitled to half of that. Surely Jen is shrewd enough to be weighing the risks and the benefits!
I don’t think she has ever said she didn’t want kids. I believe that is the assumption people make because they figure if she did want them desperately she would have them. Other women have either had them biologically or by other means.
regarding her finances.. I highly doubt her money handlers are going to let her go into a marriage without a pre-nup. When she and Brad divorced I don’t money was an issue. Outside of her trying to get a part of Brad’s Production Company they ended without any problem with finances.
I think they’ll never get married and I don’t really understand why they got engaged in the first place.
she needed to get engaged because she met justin who was sent from her last late bf didnt u know? and also because aj and bp were engaged so it would look better – i will be shocked if they go through with this marriage
Its sort of sad for her how she can never move beyond her ex husband. but she can’t have it both ways. if she wants people to stop talking about it, she should lead by example. i dont think she is good enough to get taken seriously as a dramatic actress at this point (shes not terrible or anything, but theres too much water under that bridge for her to first overcome it now). her career is kind of in a rut, so shes returning to the seemingly bottomless well of her divorce from brad. and its funny, because its obvious she isnt still pining over him on a romantic level, just pining over the status association with him gives her.
