A couple of weeks ago, Life & Style Magazine started a rumor that Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were all going to “face off” at this year’s Golden Globes (which are this Sunday, hurray!). The whole story was a sad attempt to create some old uncool Bermuda Triangle drama, especially depressing because A) This sh-t’s been going on for more than five years now; B) Because the dumb “showdown” already happened at last year’s Oscars and C) Where Aniston was confirmed as a presenter at the Globes, Brad and Angelina were utterly unconfirmed. Well, breaking news or whatever: Brad and Angelina aren’t coming. Yes, Angelina’s stylist (who I hate) Jennifer Rabe “confirmed” to Us Weekly that Brad and Angelina won’t be dropping by, because Brad didn’t get an acting nomination for Inglourious Basterds. Glittery sack dresses are especially depressed with this news, because one of them dreamt of being worn like a muu-muu by Angelina!
Glorious news, for Jennifer Aniston: she won’t have to avoid ex Brad Pitt — or his lady friend Angelina Jolie — at next Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards. Although the acclaimed Inglourious Basterds is a contender at the ceremony, costar Pitt (who was passed over for a supporting actor nod) nor Jolie will be in attendance.
Jen Rade, stylist to Jolie, 34, confirmed the news to UsMagazine.com. Rade spoke at length to E! News on Sunday about the no-show. “They’re not going because he’s not nominated individually,” she said. “Inglourious Basterds is, but not him.”
Single girl Aniston, 40, has been confirmed as a presenter at the awards; Inglourious’ many nominations led to much speculation about an Aniston-Jolie-Pitt faceoff. (Pitt and Aniston announced their split five years ago in January 2004, divorcing later that year.)
Pitt, 46, and Jolie plus their six kids became temporary — and enthusiastic! — New Yorkers over the holiday season. Jolie was in town to reshoot scenes for her film Salt, and the clan took advantage of the Big Apple despite the frigid temperatures: romantic dinners for the couple, Broadway matinees for some of the kids, a boys night out at Dave and Busters for Pitt, Pax, 7, and Maddox 8, the girls’ visit to Jolie’s film set and more.

Aw, I was kind of hoping they would show up, just so Ricky Gervais (who is hosting) would heckle them and we could laugh. You know Ricky had some zingers prepared for Brangelina too – he was already cracking jokes about them in the commercials for the Globes. So, will Ricky crack a joke about Aniston? He wouldn’t dare, would he?

(1) Nothing happen at the last “face off” last year; what were people expecting at the GGs?
(2) Ricky Gervais is NOT funny.
(3) Why don’t you like Jen Rade?
(4) What the heck is Jennifer wearing in that picture? Girl, dress your age!!!
Stand Down Everyone; Crisis Averted!
He was not nominated because he is bad! And so is the homewrecker!
Why would he even joke about aniston there with loads more interesting people in the room who are actually nominated? I still don’t get what the hell she’ll be doing there with the year she had in film. what has she done that’s award-worthy since friends? nada. my point exactly. Jen, go back to TV or a sunny island and stay there, doing yoga and getting highlights. barf
I like the dress she is wearing , and I usually don’t think she looks good.
I have a really odd crush on Ricky Gervais ….
I love how people always feel the need to tell Aniston to go away. If you don’t like her, don’t see things she’s in. If you don’t watch her films, then problem solved.
I Know Aniston will be saying this each time such empty talk comes up ”I wish u can allow me move on peacefully bcos i have forgotten the past, there just comes a moment when you realise it doesn’t matter anymore, Brad is not my headache right now, plz leave me alone”.
I wish someone would tell Brad to take a freakin bath already!!! And while you are at it, have him buy a pair of clean shoes….OMG!!
And shes starting to not look so clean herself these days.
Aniston is disguised as Britney Spears, right?
LOL at LolaBella! Thank God, peace will reign again!
find it interesting that US Weekly referred to Aniston as “single girl Aniston”. while it is accurate (as far as we know), do they describe EVERY single actress that way?
the tab mags are the WORST when it comes to perpetuating the “triangle” BS.
OMG!Jennifer Aniston looks like Lindsey Lohan in that picture! I don’t think she has a reason to be at the Golden Globes if Brangelina won’t be there, what’s the point? No Wow factor for the press and viewers!
1. I love Ricky Gervais… Love!
2. “Single Girl Aniston” … WTF? She’s not a girl, she is 40 years old and safely in the “woman” category, also that is just a stupid way to introduce anyone. Is she the only single person in hollywood?
3. I’m not ashamed to say that I will miss the “Pitt Porn”. I would rather see them than most of the other nominees and presenters, they have a ton of charisma and always bring it.
I kind of think Ricky is funny. I agree that I don’t understand why Aniston is there. I decided last year I was not going to watch any more award shows and I’m sticking by that-even though I would love to see Ricky. Awards shows seem to be on the way ‘out of style’ and more political than genuine.
It’s funny how everyone agree that the 5 year old triangle is rediculous but still use it in there write up.
I hate when the media makes news out of no news when it comes to Brad and Angelina. It’s weird the blogs are going wild just because they aren’t going. Plenty of big stars are and aren’t going and they don’t get these headlines.
There is nothing to make fun of about Jen, Brange is a joke, but sadly they are becoming a lame joke. Ricky Gervais can be funny some times.
Maybe Brad threw a fit when told he had to bathe and shave before he could go (so as not to scare the other attendees), and decided just to stay home and smell bad.
Divorced for five years..anyone I know in reality land has gotten over the ex-husband or ex-wife, unfortunately the tabloids can’t seem to let go, has anyone suggested counseling for the editorial boards?
Thanks for posting this photo of Jennifer Aniston, I hadn’t seen it and I always love to see what she’s wearing for inspiration!
anyone else wonder why there was a picture of Britany Spears at the bottom of a JP post?
Oops, not a good look Jen, Not a good look!
ETA neelyo’s on it & Maritza called it LL, really really not a good look
Madonna in ‘Pappa don’t Preach’ that’s what JA reminds me of in that photo. Cute outfit
Ricky Gervais is a one trick pony, yeah the office was good, but he’s tedious and unfunny these days.
I swear I thought that was LL too! Yikes! LOVE AJ’s dress… le sigh… I wish I had the body for something like that
Hot damn, I can see the cover story in Outa Touch next week:
“JEALOUS ANGIE MAKES BRAD SKIP AWARDS!!”
And inside there will be a long article about how Angie freaked out after reading Brad’s text messages to Aniston plotting to run off with her right after her presentation at the GG awards, and how Jen and Brad now have to put their plans for the Great Getaway on hold until the SAG awards on January 27.
Five years and the tabloids still can’t let this shit die. What kind of “face-off” was Life & Style hoping for — a no-holds-barred, hair-pulling beat-down on the red carpet with an ambulance standing by just in case?
I am really beginning to get annoyed at how everyone uses Angelina and Brad to get press. They know Brad and Angie are just trying to live their lives and ignore their foolishness and yet they persist to drag out a 5 year divorce. Obssess Much!!!!!
I’m looking forward to Ricky Gervais, I think he’s wickedly funny, and not afraid to crack on the various celebs there.
Jen is presenting because she’s famous, and the award shows like to have famous people on stage and the red carpet. Come on people, this is Hollywood – the same crowd had Jessica Alba present at the Oscars – I find that a lot more ridiculous.
It’s hilarious that something NOT happening, as in no red carpet “showdown” is enough to get the tabs riled up. Especially when it’s about people who parted ways half a decade ago and have all moved on.
@ Five years and the tabloids still can’t let this shit die. What kind of “face-off” was Life & Style hoping for — a no-holds-barred, hair-pulling beat-down on the red carpet with an ambulance standing by just in case?
well, yeah….duh….lol…. now, that would sell some rags!
@Lem: Oh Jesus, I can see this now. Twenty years from now they will put Aniston on the cover of Modern Maturity (the AARP magazine) in a pink bikini, skin tanned like cordovan leather, hair dyed platinum blonde, and the cover story will be “JEN SAYS: I’M FINALLY OVER BRAD!”
I think they need to pass a law. The next publisher that mentions the J-P-A triangle at any time, in any way, shape or form, gets 30 days in the stocks.
yes, Cheyenne
I’m thinking we have to wait for a new unholy trinity before they’ll make the switch. might we make suggestions…(in hopes of actually seeing a catfight)
Brit-Brit, Brody & LL
Katy Perry, Brand & Joss Stone
Winehouse, BLAKE & Dreamboat
Sienna Miller, Kate Moss & Ronnie Wood
Sharron Stone, Mel Gibson & Courtney Love
Miley ‘role model’ Cyrus, Shia LePue & Megan Fox
I’m glad people here think the triangle is ridiculously old and overdone — but clearly SOME people still lap it up, or the media wouldn’t keep pushing it. They only sell what people buy — so as long as folks keep drooling over the thought of Jen and Angelina wrestling in a mudpit, the magazines will keep feeding the fantasies.
Jennifer looks like Lindsey Lohan in that pic. Ricky does not make me laugh at all. Brad needs to shave + Angie hair is sooo shiny for skinny girl. Thank god Brange are not attending, otherwise Jennifer would have to hire Mayer again just look ridiculous.
@ Lem: All those names you mentioned just make me go “meh…”
Some people are talking about an Aniston-Bullock standoff since Aniston is supposedly in a snit because Bullock dethroned her in the People’s Choice awards. I don’t see it, though. They’re both kind of long in the tooth to be competing for the title of America’s Sweetheart.
It seems like only once in a generation does a really good triangle come along. Back in the day it was Taylor-Fisher-Reynolds. THAT was a doozy! But it all died down after Reynolds remarried and Taylor dumped Fisher and ran off with Richard Burton, and then everybody found something else to talk about.
PHEW!!! Attack Hamsters of Doom at Code Red is not a thing we want to happen in these troubled times!!!
I thought that wasLindsay 😯 Jen if you were able to wear ripped jeans the first time around, you really shouldn’t be considering them now – unless you’re on an archaeological dig and had an unfortunate encounter with multiple trowels.
Angie, sweetheart – opaque tights. And a sandwich.
And of COURSE Ricky Gervais would take the mick out of Aniston. Have you seen Extras?
Brad. Christ. You are not him.
Brad and Angelina are a big deal and that’s the reason they are showing their picture and nobody elses for the GG coming up. Now the JP aren’t attending and they are still the talk of the world over it. Regardless how you like or dislike Angelina’s gowns she’s still the most talked about woman in the world. Love the JP.
Oh for F*&ks sake, even if they all three DID go to this awards show it wouldn’t be as nearly as intense as some would like to think.
If anything they must feel like their fans are stuck in a time warp where they havemoved on but the fans haven’t.
Oh and Jen Rade ROCKS!
@ Cheyenne:
open to suggestions. just listing names I thought might actually have need for that ambulance you have standing by.
Please, by all means, let’s make our own new gossip drama, then CB can fan the fires. 🙂
who do we want instead?
I’d much rather see Jennifer Aniston anyday. Could care less if the Brange isn’t going to grace us with their pressance.
Too bad Brad Pitt can’t overcome his elevated sense of his acting abilities and his selfishness by attending the GGs (with or without divalina) in support of the movie he was a part of, Quentin, and Christoph Waltz. What if all of the other cast members did not show up because they weren’t nominated? Why doesn’t he attend to show he is a team player and not interested in feeding his ridiculous movie star identity. It could be “good fun.”
Jen may be 40, but she looks good in whatever she wears. I think she looks cute – most 20 year olds cant play it off – shes 40 and I think she looks great. Sounds like jealousy here.
Is it selfish when other actors that are not nominated or not presenting decide not to attend or Is it only Brad. Brad and Angie never attend when they aren’t nominated. They leave the spotlight to the nominees. They didn’t attend the Oscars in 2008 yet the entertainment shows and show host still mentioned them several times. Even showing pics of AJ from the CCA on the red carpet. Gervais will joke about them just like Jon Stewart joked about her pregnancy in 2008.
Jen looks great! The hat could go but I actually like the jeans, shirt, and jacket.
@ Becks: No, luv, there is no jealousy here. If you think ripped jeans are appropriate for a 40 year old woman, that’s your opinion and you have a right to it. Most people would say they are more appropriate for a 17 year old and that it is kind of pathetic for a 40 year old woman to dress like a someone less than half her age; I mean, what is she trying to prove? But hey, whatever floats your boat.
I guess I am inappropriate, because I have a pair of ripped jeans that I have worn for years, and I proudly wear them. I didn’t realize that ripped jeans had an age limit, and until you called any woman who is 40 pathetic for wearing them, I didn’t realize I was pathetic. WOW, you learn something new every day.
I, however, will continue in my pathetic, inappropriate manner, and wear my ripped jeans that took years to get that way. Just because someone is not a teenager does not mean they have to run around in acid washed mom jeans, espadrilles and a white mock turtle neck!
Jeez!
Cheyenne, you are just pouring on the outrage today aren’t you? Imagining Jen in a few years with leathery orange baked skin in a bathing suit on the cover of ‘Modern Maturity’ talking about how she is finally over Brad. Then over on a thread about Bradley Cooper, you manage to bring her up again, in regards to how you KNOW the gay rumors were started by Jens fans when he ‘rejected’ her. And now this – how inappropriate ripped jeans are on a 40 year old, and how most people would find someone so dressed to be ‘pathetic’.
Truly, you need to sit back, take a deep breath, and remind yourself that these people do not even know you exist. Really, why waste so much mental energy on them?
“Most people would say they are more appropriate for a 17 year old”
really? you took a poll?
listen, you’re ALSO entitled to your opinion on ripped jeans, but don’t talk for “most people”.
Firestarter, I’m with you. I have a pair of slightly ripped jeans that I bought VERY recently (yes, in the women’s not juniors) at Nordstrom, and they look great with a sweater and boots.
Some people on here sound like prudes! Make up your minds! You all talk about being forward-thinking, yet you bash a good-looking woman for wearing ripped jeans? I hope when I’m that age I’ll look as good as a 20 yr old. Perhaps that’s the reason for the mockery. LOL @ Kaiser–“Glittery sack dresses are especially depressed by this news..”! And I don’t like Jen Rade either. And sorry to disappoint some of you, but it wasn’t that big a deal when they didn’t show for 2007 or 2008. It’s news this year because Brad has all the reason in the world to attend. He’s close with the director, and IB is up for multiple awards, including Best Picture. It makes him look prissy to say that he won’t go just because he himself wasn’t nomed. I usually don’t find fault with him, but I think it’s a little bit pathetic to throw a temper tantrum and not support your cast and friends because you feel you deserve an award. Just my opinion.
@Praise- You are pathetic and highly inappropriate!!!!!
; P
yeah, but at least I like the A-Team! 😛
Angle’s STYLIST cofirmed the news? Odd, that.
For crying out loud, read the photo credit. She’s at the airport, and therefore dressed comfortably. I guess you’d prefer to travel dressed the way Posh does?
But if ripped jeans make you look like Lindsay Lohan then they are a bad thing.
Crash, if you think a 41 year old woman trying to look like a teenager is okay, that’s your lookout. I think she looks like a damn fool. Let’s agree to disagree.
Brad sounds like he’s miffed because he was overlooked for an award; looks like sour grapes to me.
Plus he knows that there’s no way in hell “Inglourious Bastards” is getting the award as best picture!
@ Firestarter: I’ve got two pair of ripped jeans, but I don’t wear them out of the house. Bag-lady chic isn’t my thing, but as I said to Crash, let’s agree to disagree.
We went over the ripped jeans thing like, a month ago when those pictures first came out.
Get. Over. It.
Jennifer Aniston is presenting at the Golden Globes because, like it or not, she’s famous and plenty of people like her. She has literally done nothing wrong-she filed for divorce from a man who was probably cheating on her. That’s all folks. And yet you despise her for…liking Mexico? Yoga? Being in romantic comedies?
firestarter – YOU CRACK ME UP!!!!
Great comebacks as always..ha ha ha
jen in her ripped jeans screams COUGAR!! she is competing with young Hollywood. Her fans are women her age, most likely divorced or never married, rooting for her. In HW she is on the prowl! wonder what younger man will she bag next?????
I’m w/you Mairead–I hate her outfit. Anyone who dresses like Lindsey Lohan should rethink their style. I also think neither Aniston nor Brangie should show up to any of the awards this year. They’ve all had a piss-poor year, acting-wise. Showing up at the awards just reminds people of that fact, and screams desperate to stay relevant, imo.
@Becks- Awww Shucks!
@all celebs attend all events?–couldn’t agree more that it WILL be nice to notice the nominees more this year rather than a drama between the three. But question for you: what exactly is the allure of the CCA’s and the SAG’s this year for Brad, as opposed to the Golden Globes? He’s not nominated for a SAG or CCA. They’re the same types of nominations going down at the Golden Globes: all for Quentin, Cast, Best Picture, Christoph Waltz and even Diane Kruger. Why should he show there if he won’t show on Sunday? I actually think he’s got a bit of a situation on his hands with this one. The tabs are going to run stories about how he and Angie were too afraid to face Jen again (well look at that! Cheyenne and I agree on something!), especially if they show to the other ceremonies. It’ll all be construed as further “proof” that things aren’t well. Why not show up, evade the rumors that you’re a snob when you’re not nominated, and show everybody that dealing with Jen in the room is not going to faze you? I don’t know. It all seems weird to me.
SageAdvice, just be glad that no one mentioned (HORRORS!) the fact that her sneakers didn’t have laces in them. 😉
Get. Over. It
Hoorah! 60 comments and finally we get to do a shot.
thanks !
*glug glug* Ahhh….
Cheyenne – you are the one who has to be venomous. You are not posting your opinion, you are vilifying by saying that ‘most people would find it pathetic’. If you don’t like ripped jeans on a 40 year old woman, there are better ways to term it if you truly don’t have venom to express. If I have an opinion to express, I always couch it in those terms. It is MY OPINION. Not ‘most people’s’. Just mine.
I think that’s an old photo of her anyway. We already went over this, didn’t we?
Bartender? I’ll have a lemon drop! Make it a double!
me no like any of these three. aniston = boring. brange = looney. and anybody who doesnt think these three STILL posture and sell their respective “selves”/brands like crazy is toooo naive. and SO sick of ’em. more ryan gosling, please.
Well idiot Kaiser shouldnt u be happy that they are not going and u wont get to see Angie in her sacks.
Just because an actor is not nominated doesn’t mean that he shouldn’t go and show support to his fellow castmates, especially if someone else is nominated in the movie or the movie itself gets a nod. How pretentious.. or snobbish. Fans will look at that attitude.JMO
Kaiser – Glittery sack dresses are especially depressed with this news, because one of them dreamt of being worn like a muu-muu by Angelina!
and Mairead – Angie, sweetheart – opaque tights. And a sandwich.
Brad. Christ. You are not him.
LMAO! Someone please, remind me not to eat while reading Celebitchy. This is why I come here you guys know how to bring the snark. 😀
