Star: Jennifer Aniston & Bradley Cooper, ‘It’s On!’

starmagazine

Star Magazine wants us to know that after their date last Thursday, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston are, and I quote, “on! on! on!” And so it begins. Allegedly, Jennifer and Bradley have known each other for a few years, and they were both in He’s Just Not That Into You (although they had no scenes together from what I’ve heard). There have been rumors about the two of them floating around since last year, but they got louder when Bradley and Jennifer were seen cozying up to each other at a screening a couple of months ago. After that, Bradley denied the rumors. Which made it weirder when he and Jennifer went to dinner last week. Maybe Bradley saw the coverage of the rumors and said, “Hey, me and Aniston. That’s not a bad idea.”

Which brings us to the Star cover story. Star’s online article doesn’t have a lot of meat, they’re just basically saying that they went out, had a good time, and that Aniston is “really excited” about Bradley, and that they have a “connection”. More breaking news: at dinner, they were holding hands! Gasp! Also, Star had a “typo” identifying Aniston as “30”. Don’t worry, I fixed it. In addition to that “mistake”, I’m pretty sure Star’s cover photo of Bradley and Aniston is an old picture of Aniston and Brad Pitt, with Cooper’s head photoshopped on. Oh, it’s on! on! on! bitches.

Jennifer Aniston and Bradley Cooper are on! on! on!

Days after sharing a romantic dinner together at Il Cantinori restaurant in Manhattan, Star has the scoop on the budding romance, including how Jen’s been bubbling to pals that she’s just so into the breakout star of the mega-smash movie The Hangover!

“Jen is really excited,” an insider says in our July 6 cover story. “She feels a connection to Bradley.”

That was clear during their June 18 dinner date. Throughout the three-hour meal, Jennifer, 40, and Bradley, 34, shared food and wine, laughed at one another’s jokes and acted like two kids falling in love. “I went over to say hi to them, and I noticed they were holding hands under the table because they let go to shake my hand,” an eyewitness at the exclusive restaurant tells Star.

While the idea of romancing Jen could be overwhelming for some potential suitors — after all, the ex-Mrs. Brad Pitt’s heartache is so legendary that even she makes fun of her relationship history — Bradley could be the right man for the job.

“Bradley knows that Jen comes with a lot of baggage,” says a source. “But he’s not denying he has feelings for her.”

[From Star Magazine]

“Bradley knows that Jen comes with a lot of baggage” is the understatement of the year. That being said, I’m kind of enjoying the tabloid press on this chrysalis of a relationship. It’s been nothing short of glowing – just yesterday, People Magazine fell all over itself talking about what a catch Bradley Cooper is. I agreed with CB partially on that one – I thought the coverage seemed written like a publicist’s press release, but to be fair, People does that all of the time. What I found fishy was the timing – but I suppose People, Star and the others are just thrilled they have someone new to connect Aniston with. The other stuff was getting pretty tedious.

Oh, and by the way – Bradley Cooper was photographed having lunch with a “mystery girl” on Monday. Some are billing this as “Bradley Cooper is a womanizer” or “Bradley Cooper already dumped Aniston” but I wouldn’t dare. Hey, perhaps the mystery girl is just a friend. Aniston could be just a friend too.

    HMM the star magzine photos could be real, she is wearing a dress from this event in 2007
    http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/jennifer-aniston-demi-moore-lend-support-to-laura-day-201091/

    and according to the story on that site she spent the whole evening of the party guled to bradley cooper

    ” Aniston schmoozed it up with party guests and posed for the paparazzi. Pal Demi Moore was in high spirits as well. “You must make us look good, or else,” she told the photographers.

    “Inside the party, it seemed that Aniston was glued to Bradley Cooper, whose recent split from wife Jennifer Esposito makes him a very eligible bachelor”

    and also this
    “For a while, a Prada-clad Aniston sat in the back of the restaurant with some friends sampling the hors d’oeuvres and an Energy Crisis cocktail. She later caught up with Moore and Kutcher before heading back to perch on the back of a banquette for a chat with Bradley Cooper”

    • After celebrating intuitionist Laura Day’s self-empowerment books at the Hollywood restaurant-lounge One Sunset, Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, hubby Ashton Kutcher and Bradley Cooper moved the party to the nearby Tower Bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel. There, the ladies ate the chicken Paillard and salad while Kutcher had steak tartar. A source tells us: “They were playful and lively, [and] at one point, Demi kissed the hand of the maître-de.”

  5. karen says:

    That picture is so photoshopped and badley. I think it was orginally John Mayer in the pic or Courntney Cox.. look at the right arm around her.. Just so badly done.. too funny.

    MY thought.. I am on board for a romance with Bradley Cooper and Megan Fox.

    YEAH.. that would be a yummy combo..

    Let’s make it happen..

  6. kim says:

    According to New York Daily News he was getting cozy with Lake Bell at an art show last weekend. He told TMZ that he and Jen are just friends.

  7. Maritza says:

    They are only friends, they are working their public relations image.

  8. MSat says:

    Bradley Cooper is a total hottie. Thanks to his hilarious role in “The Hangover,” he is about to become a major star. It would make good business sense to date Aniston. They would look really good together on the red carpet.

  9. CRAZINESS says:

    THEY LOOK LIKE BROTHER AND SISTER.

  10. Jen says:

    I hope this isn’t true – these two look way too much alike. People who remind me of brother and sister shouldn’t be dating, for crying out loud.

  11. TRT says:

    If they ever have baby that child will have a chin, chin, chin….

  12. Nev says:

    I agree with you this makes her every gay mans beard. If I was Aniston I would have my people stop this lie. This makes Jen look very desperate.
    It looks like she is rushing to this to have another pr boyfriend for the sake of her movie. I don’t believe it next move hook back up with gay douche bag John Mayer both can’t commit to a women.

  13. June says:

    You all are silly. So now Jennifer can not even have dinner with a male without being a “beard”? She should be able to have dinner with whom ever she would like without people referring to her as desperate. It is so sad that women are so eager to judge other women.

  14. raven says:

    First thought–matching chins
    Second thought-beard relationship
    Third thought-she doesn’t have a lot of baggage really–Britney Spears has baggage; Kimora Lee Simmons has baggage. In fact if kimora could end up with a good guy, there is hope for Jen–It just isn’t Cooper.

  15. diddy says:

    how are either one of them a beard? from what i know neither of them is gay LOL

  16. eve says:

    even tho that picture is fake… they do look cute together. bradley is hot!

  17. selma says:

    radaronline has a vid from this morning with bradley cooper and the pap asked him about jen and his answer was just friends

  18. someone says:

    Star Magazine???Why would anyone believe anything from that magazine…

  19. KelBear says:

    I hope this is true. I actually like them together unlike most.

  20. Trace says:

    Who cares about Bradley Cooper! Let’s talk about Jen filming The Bounty with Gerard Butler. Now he’s a much better catch! No maybe gaybe or beating up on ex-wife rumors, not that I know of anyway. Another thing that’s more interesting: Jen the action-star??!! Can she pull it off? Kaiser – maybe you can cover this in your next article.

  21. Cheyenne says:

    Gerard Butler?! Are you kidding? I wouldn’t wish him on my worst enemy. He’s a world-class womanizer. He makes Mayer the Player look like a choirboy. He’ll hump her and dump her so fast she won’t know which end is up. She needs a stable guy, not these self-absorbed actors.

  22. HashBrowns says:

    Just a thought here: Kasier says the photo might be photoshopped as a joke, then people latch onto that like it’s fact? Weird…

    Anyway, a woman and a man can be friends without one being a beard or having a relationship. Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez jump to mind. She isn’t his beard (even though he’s probably gay) and they are besties.

    So can we quit it with the “beard” bs? He’s already said they are just friends. Which IS a possibility and much more likely one than the fantastical nonsense some of you are making up and calling fact.

  23. Tia C says:

    How on earth can it be said that Jennifer Aniston comes with a lot of baggage? HUH?! Does she have kids we haven’t heard about? I wasn’t aware of that… she seems like a nice, single, attractive baggage-free woman to me!

  24. sarcra says:

    I don’t see how she comes with any baggage either. A divorce is not baggage in Hollywood, and both Jennifer and Bradley have one under their belts. How does he have any less baggage than she does??

  25. Cheyenne says:

    diddy: There’s been a rumor going about that Cooper works both sides of the street and his marriage ended after four months when his ex-wife came home one night and found him in their bed with his boyfriend. Who knows for sure besides Cooper, the ex and the supposed boyfriend?

  26. lisa says:

    The baggage she comes with is incessant gossip, rumors, paparazzi and tabloids. Bradley is not used to that

  27. cleveland says:

    Wow, another PR-friendly romance for Jen? Gee, what a surprise. I think she would stop breathing if the tabloids stopped caring about her love life.

  28. Beth says:

    Star has done a complete 180. For at least a month they have been saying Brad Pitt and Jennifer are in love and back together. Didn’t they just say that Jennifer told her driver that she’s so happy with her affair with Pitt? How does that change in a week? I think the “source” means emotional baggage and not just a divorce. Jennifer is known for being needy and emotional. She has said that she’s been seeing a psychiatrist for years and reads a lot of self-help books.

  29. Kaiser says:

    Trace & Cheyenne – STFU about Gerard Butler and Aniston. She isn’t good enough for his Scottish loveliness. And if she tries to put the moves on Gerry, I swear, I will convince CB to run the headline “GET OFF MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!”

    Hash – Actually, I was serious about the photoshop. The shadows look weird to me, and Bradley’s head looks like it was popped on magically. But some of the explanations provided above, with links from 2007 or whenever, make sense. Whatever.

  30. Larissa says:

    omg, that picture was taken soooo long before her nose job!!!! am cracking up here!
    LOL

  31. Ellie says:

    Cooper’s hawt.

  32. j. ferber says:

    I think Jennifer really enjoys being part of a power couple in Hollywood. She had that with Brad and I bet she’d like to have it again. Cooper’s star is rising. However, no one can give her more talent than she actually has. She must be the hardest-trying woman in Hollywood. Jessica Simpson is like the Jen Aniston of pop music. They both get an A for effort, but I still wouldn’t pay to see a movie or hear a CD from either of them. They both had a career fluke and got tremendous success based on very slender talents. So luck was the spur to their continuous striving.

  33. yasmin says:

    People that look alike tend to be better suited, apparently. I think they make the cutest couple! Go jennifer!

  34. anon1000 says:

    they do look alike..twin chins and the sAME LINES UNDER THE EYES AND CLOWN-LIKE LOWER JAW AND NON-EXISTENT UPPER LIPS. A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!

  35. BlueSkies says:

    She must hate looking in the mirror, for real dudes. I would hate myself if I was her. Shudder.

  36. BlueSkies says:

    She reminds me of the ugly girl in your group in HS who got ignored because she has that big chin and big face and let the truth be known that most guys don’t wanna mix their gene pool with that. Sorry. That’s truly the crux of her matter, in case you were wondering.

  37. Ursula says:

    I want her with Gerald Butler. Cooper is cute, but no Gerald Butler.

    How come the loons want Jen to remain single and miserable? Whats up with that? She is not with your man. He is happy and in love with his baby momma, take a chill pill and leave Jen alone.

  38. someone says:

    I don’t think she has any baggage, unless your talking about bags of money LOL..The haters and the tabloids like to make up stories about Jen being desperate, I don’t think shes as needy as some of you guys would like to think she is. I don’t think shes dating Bradley, or still in love with Pitt..I think shes a very pretty woman, and those that call her “maniston”, need to take a nap and get back on thier medication. “The ugly girl in h/s????give me a break, that is nonsense.

  39. anon1000 says:

    sorry but everyone knows an ugly girl in high school, and aniston is the “ugly girl that made good”

  40. Jan says:

    Photoshopped. Typical of Star. Wasn’t this a pic with Courtney Cox originally?

  41. Praise St. Angie! says:

    yeah, BlueSkies, she’s SO ugly that she was dating and married to Brad Pitt for 7 years.

    and SO ugly that she was considered the “hot” one on a very successful TV show for several years.

    and SO ugly that she’s had a very successful career in an industry that is (mostly) run on looks.

  42. Ursula says:

    JA is not ugly by any stretch of imagination. Tori spelling is unpretty but JA is gorgeous with a beautiful personality, that is why the haters hate on her, because they know she is not ugly and she can have Bradley back if she wanted. But she does not. Bradley is a wimp and every one knew that once the lust was out, he would realise that he is with a dracula. I guess he has realised that his baby momma is not a saint, or super woman, or sweet like he thought. But a mentally ill, attention seeking sl@t his mother must have warned him about.

    I ask again, what is with the Jen hate? What has she done?

  43. BlueSkies says:

    Praise St.Angie, just because someone was with Brad doesn’t make them a beauty. He’ll be with anyone. Never forget he was ENGAGED to Julliet Lewis. and Gwyneth Paltrow, for heaven’s sake.

    And what was her competition on Friends? Lisa Kudrow? Courtney was the pretty one but lots of people were fooled by Aniston’s hair. They gave her The Rachel haircut to hide her big jowls and big chin. Please, girlfriend.

  44. Snoopchew says:

    What I propose for JA is more than just about looks. If she is needy for anything it isn’t for a man. It is for an awakening experience to prove to herself that she can be a great actress. Her best hope I believe is to connect herself to a great actor. Not for the romance per se, but for the benefit of watching her art at it’s best.
    This of course leads us to her latest film she is engaged in with Gerard Butler. He will be her greatest teacher!

  45. Brianne says:

    OH God, how weird is this. Not only did Jen grab another Beach loving Blonde Cutie named Brad but he sorta looks like her & he acts in the same mindless rhetoric comedies as she does! WOW I say this is a match made in Tabloid heaven & Jen gets to call her man Brad all over again. Now she’s happy cause Angelina got her old Brad & she has a new one. Good Luck Jen.(lol)

  46. Praise St. Angie! says:

    My point was that she was attractive enough for Brad for 7 years, and attractive enough for Tate Donovan for years…

    and she does do pretty well in an industry that is (mostly) run on looks.

    do you really think that she’d be getting the roles that she gets if she were ugly?

    girlfriend, please…your brangeloonie is showing.

  47. just saying says:

    I just read the article in Star at the store, at the end of the article they mention that Bradley was spotted on 2 separate occasions with Lake Bell after this”date”. They imply that he is a player. I’ve never heard him described as a player or womanizer.

  48. idkifimrealwou says:

    i think they look awesome together!I too hope it is true. She deserves someone. Hope he is as great as her!!!!

  49. Divorcee says:

    I think Jen and Bradley make a cute couple!
