Melissa McCarthy covers the new issue of People Magazine (I’ll probably cover the story tomorrow if gossip is still slow), but there’s a sidebar on the cover: “Jen Talks To People: Justin, Marriage & Her Secrets to Looking Younger.” It was the “Justin, Marriage” part that interested me, although I quickly realized that if Jennifer had some breaking news about her neverending engagement, she probably would have gotten the People cover all to herself. So what IS going on with Justin Theroux? He’s become The Largely Absent Eyebrow in Jen’s perfect LA life, even though she insists that they share everything (Aveeno, Living Proof, toothbrushes). Some highlights from People:
The best thing that’s happened to her in her 40s: “Justin. He’s the best thing this decade.”
Their coupled-up fashion: “[We] met a bit in the middle.” She fondly remembers the first time she met The Leftovers star while on the set of 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder in Hawaii. “He was wearing black, black, black and I started to sweat just looking at him.”
Her engagement ring: “I just think it’s so beautiful. I love it because he picked it, put it into a setting and it’s simple.”
Justin won’t have a problem fitting a wedding ring into his wardrobe: “He’s got a lot of hardware. He wears a chain. He has a gold chunky ring. When we get married he will be wearing his ring. It just won’t say Justin anymore,” she says of the ring he currently wears, adding that perhaps instead it will say Jen “on the inside…It will be good.”
Does this interview seem… I don’t know? Sort of bittersweet? Jennifer has always sort of been the Miss Havisham of the tabloids and at times she’s willingly played into that image, but it feels like in real life she’s trying on wedding gowns and day-dreaming about Justin’s wedding band and the entire time Justin has been looking for the exit.
Oh, and I still hate her engagement ring. That is the cloudiest, most quartz-looking diamond ever. Is “quartziest” a word?

doesn’t she mean IF we get married? this engagement thing is getting old.
I’m almost tired of saying this on every thread, but the Lady Doth Protest Too MUCH!
Everything she says is old. Isn’t she tired of hearing herself?
Oh, no, wait, this is JustJen we’re talking about…
And when I win the Powerball lottery… Just like Jen, I wish for things to happen that more than likely never will. And yes, that’s the quartziest diamond ever.

She is desperate for some attention. She is not promoting anything at this time, yet gives People an exclusive interview to talk about fluff & her wedding, that she claims is soon, like how she claimed it was soon 3 years ago!
How people can claim she is private when she pulls these stunts is beyond me.
She is really desperate! It’s pathetic.
I am SO g*damn over this women. What does she bring to the table? Why is this even 2 words in People?
Her engagement ring is tacky. I’m having trouble believing that he picked it out; I think she definitely had input, or picked it out herself.
And I don’t think they will ever get married.
That ring is hideous. Maybe he thought he had to get a big ring because of her status and all he could afford was a big cloudy stone. I’d rather not have a ring than that monster quartz on her hand.
I quite like her ring because I’m convinced it’s a “rough” diamond and I like the idea of those stones.
I really feel that if they wanted to be married, they would be. It’s ok not to be married. Not everybody should be married. A relationship that is happy and long running is no less valid then a marriage.
Absolutely, but why get engaged then? When you get engaged there is the expectation that you will be getting married, probably sooner rather than later.
They have the resources to live any way they want, so it’s hard not to assume that someone has cold feet.
That’s the question. Why get engaged? It is a promise of marriage.
I agree (even though I celebrated 19 years of marriage on Monday). Look at Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Not being married hasn’t hurt them and they don’t apologize for not walking down the aisle.
I don’t think JustJen will ever get married and that’s okay. Just stop with the engagement/wedding/baby stories already.
I really wish she’s come out and say just that, but she has a PR image to uphold, I guess.
(Congratulations on your anniversary, btw!)
She’s so talented and they make such a lovely couple.
Careful there, Nonny! Them’s fighting words ’round these parts…
Lol love the sarcasm.
Indeed and he should get more praise for his fashion *snort*
Jennifer Aniston is one of those women who owns their “beauty” to the hair. And racist beauty standards, of course.
He’ll wear his own ring but will he use his own toothbrush?
Yeah, that toothbrush thing turned my stomach. Why? Don’t they use the free ones the dentist gives away every cleaning like everyone else? MYSTERY SOLVED – JustJen does not go to the dentist. JustJen = JenGevitis, Confirmed.
Died at JenGevitis.
Oh please can she ever just shut up and go away? Does she really think we buy her phony relationship?
She makes a fool out of herself by repeatedly mentioning a wedding that probably will never take place. Why can’t she just be happy with a partner without a ring, and paper? Justin doesn’t come over like someone who likes to be pushed in this direction…why is she doing it so publicly?
Contractual obligations…..nothing more, nothing less. She’s contracted to shill justin/up his profile. He’s contracted to be her escort and take shame from her eye, as in: jen’s got a man, y’all! LMFAO
Also, when Justin dumps her, he’ll take the blame and be the bad guy (not going to slip out of this one so easily…)
Then she can have another decade of “Poor Jen, Jilted Again!” tabloid covers and TV appearances.
I thought she said in an interview that she didn’t like the ring. Anyway hope they get married soon and live happily ever after.
I think the ring is OK, I’m not much of a diamond person myself. Don’t get why everyone cares whether they get married or not
I do not think any cares really. Most are just annoyed with how she continues to play the media & yet no one calls her out on it.
Either get married or stop talking about it.
Because they got engaged?
GET MARRIED ALREADY
seriously whats holding them back? i was so obsessed with it i would do it as soon as possible.
Zzzzzzz – wake me up when she enters the 50s and where she might talk about other stuff than her engagement, potential wedding, amazing relationship with whipped Justin, pregnancy rumours and how she really wants to act in and direct a good movie but won’t use her own millions to produce it.
PS: I have a friend who works for the New York Times International and I am really really close to begging her to write an article about the constant lies Jennifer says.
You want the New York Times International to write an exposé on Jennifer Aniston lying about botox and Aveeno?
What? It’s false advertisement just like when L’oreal was forced to put a disclaimer that the models are wearing extensions for hair products.
If you say something and do something else – that’s called lying. It’s especially illegal when it comes to promoting stuff.
There has to be proof of false advertising. Just because you say it’s false advertising doesn’t make it so.
she always talks about the same lame subjects, plastic surgery, and a man…
I forgot they were even an item/engaged or whatever, LOL
YAWN, I’ll believe it when I see it.
At this point, I’m really just embarrassed for her.
I hate her engagement ring too! Good quality diamonds should not be cloudy and it has an odd shape. It looks like a cocktail ring you buy at the mall for $30.
Poor Jen seems like she really wants to get married now and he won’t. She’s trying way too hard to convince us how happy they are together.
I honestly can’t see why someone with her financials would get married. She doesn’t strike me as someone who feels she must get married for religious purposes. How would this benefit her? Also, that ring is awful. I remember when she was at the Oscars in 2013 and had these beautiful diamond bracelets on and they made the ring look so cloudy and tacky.
For some reason I thought they had secretly married. On an episode of Say Yes to the dress, I could have sworn a consultant referred to a dress as the one Jennifer Aniston had picked. And the episodes typically air after the wedding. Who knows.
LOL. Yeah….her fans exist to keep the dream alive.
She is never going to get married.
I don’t get why people think this engagement is suspicious because taking a long time. Both of these people are in their 40’s and so they had solid, full, complete lives before they met. She’s a LA girl, he’s never going to want to leave NY. The “hold up” isn’t love, or anything like that, its probably that no matter how much love in a later aged relationship like this, marriage really doesn’t have its desperate pull once you hit your 40s- particularly for those people who have already been married. Who the hell wants to spend a year of your 40’s planning a wedding? Ugh.
Or that either one wants to give up their homebase. same diff.
Then continue as you are and be happy.
Why get engaged.. why talk about getting engaged… why talk about the ring.. why talk about getting married.
nobody is making her do that. If she didn’t want to get married then don’t and enjoy your relationship. When she does interviews like this she is inviting speculation on why it hasn’t happened. Nobody was talking about it until she talks about it.
I have no problem with long engagements. (Mine was 4 years b/c when we got engaged I was about to start medical school and didn’t have time to care about planning a wedding.) I also have no problem with people who get engaged then never make it down the aisle but are happy together. While I agree that a couple doesn’t need to be married or engaged to be committed for life, there’s something about an engagement that symbolizes your promise to be with each other forever, at least in the eyes of the public.
In Jen’s case, I think we’re all annoyed because she keeps talking about her wedding as if it’s imminent. She’s been saying “soon” for years, and furthermore, it’s all she talks about. It’s as if being engaged/married defines her. Doesn’t she have anything else of substance to talk about in interviews? I think if she and Justin were really committed to each other, then there wouldn’t be a need for her to discuss her wedding all the time. She could just say, “We’re not in a rush; we have the rest of our lives to get married,” or something like that.
What truly puzzles me is why she continues to talk about this wedding that obviously is not going to happen?
I mean, both people have the resources to have gotten married to each other long before now. If they both really wanted to, they’d be married.
So why the charade? Who is it benefitting? As far as I can see, most people just don’t care whether she gets married or not. So why bother with all this future tense language all the time???
Truly confused.
This all day!!
Hey, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. How else is the going to stay relevant, since she’s obviously gotten too old for even her most devoted fans to take the bi-weekly baby bump rumors seriously any more?
And for some reason she felt compelled to make the Waity-est statement ever: Someday, Justin will wear a wedding ring that’ll be just like the one he wears now only it won’t say “Justin” on it but — maybe — it will say “Jen” on the inside.
Nope. Justin’s gonna keep being about Justin. He’ll dismantle and eat his own Ducati bolt by bolt rather than walk down the aisle anytime this century…..
When we get married… pigs will fly.
I saw a comment on another site and maybe it is true.. talking about the marriage and Justin in this “interview” is a way to address the break up rumor or gossip about them without really coming out and addressing them. Killing to birds so to speak with one stone. She basically just shot down the rumor of him dumping her.. they are still together, still engaged and going to get married.
I like Jenn and I hope one day I’ll have to eat these words but Jenn, I don’t think this wedding will be happening for you,boo. Keanu Reeves will probably marry before we ever see Jenn marry this dude.
Please. She isn’t getting married. Thirsty one, this one.
What. Ev. Er. Just let it go Jen..
I’ve seen better looking rings than that in a gum ball machine.
Here is me…showing off my ring…the one I bought for myself…with my money!!!
