Before I forget, I did end up watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I get why – technically-speaking – Leonardo DiCaprio is considered the lead, but at the end of the day, it felt like he and Brad Pitt were on screen the same amount of time. They were co-leads, so it feels slightly like category fraud that Brad is being nominated for Best Supporting Actor. As for the film… Quentin Tarantino could have easily trimmed it down by 20 or 30 minutes and told the exact same story. I came away from it being sort of impressed with Leo’s work, quite honestly. He was the best actor, by far. It would also be kind of funny to me if Brad’s category fraud didn’t even lead to any awards, because Joe Pesci is going to snatch everything up. We’ll see.
Meanwhile, Brad is still being nominated for everything, and so is Jennifer Aniston for The Morning Show. They’ll both attend the SAGs and Golden Globes as nominees. It’s become a thing that we have to talk about, fifteen years after their split. But… Jen and Brad have been getting along well all year. Brad attended her 50th birthday party in February, and over the weekend, he attended her Christmas party too:
Jennifer Aniston got in the holiday spirit this weekend with some A-list friends — including Brad Pitt. The Morning Show star, 50, had a tree trimming party on Saturday, which was attended by a star-studded list of guests, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Jimmy Kimmel — as well as her ex-husband, a source tells PEOPLE.
“The annual tree trimming party is always Jen’s favorite to host,” the source says. “She loves Christmas. As usual, a large group of friends attended.”
Regarding Pitt’s appearance, the source adds, “They have been in touch a few times since her birthday and are keeping it friendly.”
Back in February, the Ad Astra star, 55, also attended Aniston’s 50th birthday party, which was held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in L.A. An insider told PEOPLE at the time that his appearance came simply because the former couple, who were married from 2000 to 2005, has a “very civil relationship.”
I still don’t really know what to think. I don’t believe the worst of Jennifer Aniston, and in this case, the worst would be “Jennifer has ‘forgiven’ Brad entirely now that he’s no longer with Angelina Jolie.” It’s not that simple, you know? I think it’s more like Brad has made some overtures to Jennifer since Angelina dumped him, and Jennifer is basically like “sure, you can come to my parties, it’s not a big deal.” I don’t think there’s some huge gossip story happening here. But I look forward to reading some Page Six and Us Weekly stories wherein they try to make it sound like Bradifer Redux.

They are both feeding the tabloids aren’t they?
That’s pretty clear at this point. The king and Queen of tabloids. Nobody works harder to be in the tabloids than the both of them. And he still wonders why his kids want nothing to do with him .
Honestly, I think the tabloid world would implode if they actually did get back together.
I honestly never got them as a couple. Jen is much more attractive, charming and funny than him. She also seems genuinely good natured and like she does not take herself overly seriously. Brad on the other hand was, and continues to be, an overrated charisma vacuum whose one saving grace is that he is a decent actor.
@ ADS I don’t think he’s even a very good actor. Depends on what he’s in. I tried to rewatch Interview with a Vampire recently & he was SO BAD. By far the worst in the film. Kirsten Dunst was the best. IMO of course. I didn’t make it all the way thru.
ADS I disagree. I am no fan of Pitt’s but the many passive-aggressive digs Aniston has made at Jolie and Pitt for 10 years after their split, and her fanning the flames along with Chelsea Handler show that Aniston is not attractive or charming (and funny is subjective), in fact, she has a real nasty streak.
They want those nominations/ wins. They’ll keep it up through award season. Then i imagine all of a sudden he’ll not be at her parties.
Why you guys hate him so much?
Commenys immature thats why! They may have had a real love affair and want it back!!
I know how it is!!!
I’m pretty sure the negative feeling comes from whatever action of his caused him to only be allowed supervised visits with his children. Those with experience of such situations don’t forget that stuff quickly! Hence the hate.
Angelina did an interview way back in the day and said that Brad was married to his best friend (meaning Jen). Maybe she was right and after all the dust settled and smoke cleared on his and Angie’s relationship, he was able to reconnect with Jennifer. That wasn’t going to happen when they were together cause Jen wasn’t going to hang out with his mistress (whether technically true or not) and Jolie wasn’t going to hang out with his ex-wife and former BFF.
So they may actually enjoy being friends again and the positive PR is a bonus. They’ve both had worse negative PR then being friends with an ex so nothing lost there.
Romantically I think not-maybe a no strings attached roll in the hay but that’s it.
Wow, in that last pic you can completely see Shiloh!
The tabloids will have them remarried and pregnant by Valentines Day.
It’s…. TWINS! Hahaha.
I have questions. Not about Jen and Brad, I could not care less about them. It’s about this ‘annual tree trimming party’. WTF is a tree trimming party? I’m assuming Christmas trees are involved, and people come over to trim them? But for why? And why would a tree trimming party need a host? Can’t people just do this sort of nonsense in the privacy of their own homes? And why in the world would ‘As usual, a large group of friends attend’? Don’t Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Jimmy Kimmel have anything better to do?
Is this an American thing I don’t know anything about?
It’s just a Christmas party and opportunity to socialize with friends before people head off to their families.
It’s a Christmas party. You don’t have those in your country? Pretty common in US. The tree decorating aspect is likely overblown. That’s probably code for booze and weed. It’s Hollywood.
Not the OP but no, most other countries DO NOT have Christmas parties or stupid infantile names for them, Americans have a bizarre obsession with Christmas and spending loads and loads money on cheap tacky cràp that will end up in a landfill before the next Christmas. It’s shameful, really.
@Starkville – who peed in your cornflakes this morning? Lighten up.
@starkville- I was just in London and they were going in hard on everything Christmas, so nope to your no other countries care about Christmas.
Starkille, people in other countries absolutely have Christmas parties. You are unnecessarily ragey AND incorrect.
Starkville, I live in Sydney. I had 2 Christmas parties last week, 1 tomorrow night and another 2 before Christmas actually arrives. Until 8 years ago I had lived in Glasgow all my life, we had lots of Christmas parties there. As my partner for many years was German I spent a fair bit of the holiday times there as well and they also had plenty of Christmas parties. Sure in countries with majority non Christian populations it’s not a big thing but even in Israel or Indonesia or India you’ll find Christmas events. You should get out in the world more.
Starkville has never been invited to a Christmas party. Anywhere in the world. I wonder why? Could it be Stankville’s attitude? Hmm.
Tree trimming means to decorate the Christmas tree. But I’ve never heard of anyone having tree trimming parties. I live in Midwest America so maybe it’s just not a thing here? We typically have our trees up and decorated (right after Thanksgiving.
LOL, I don’t think its just an American thing. Its just kind of a pre-Christmas get-together, and your friends help decorate your tree, usually if you have a big tree or lots of trees or something. I’ve never been to one that is explicitly called “a tree trimming party” – usually its just a Christmas party with some tree decorating on the side.
Camilla hosts an event like this every year for some of her charities involving children. I think its more common in that context.
Lol, I also never heard of tree trimming and was like ???
Thanks for the replies ladies, I did not mean to sound rude or anything- I was just thrown off by the term ‘tree trimming’ and the suggestion that cutting a tree down is apparently something Hollywood types do in the company of their glamorous friends.
My experience has been that guests each bring an ornament and add it to the host’s tree, and then when it is finally topped off it sort of symbolically kicks off Christmas.
I was just watching a rerun of Graham Norton where Regina King was explaining to Emilia Clarke (I think) what a tree trimming party was, so I don’t think the term is very common in the UK or other places.
Oh my god, I totally thought “trim” was used in the sense of “to cut”. Like, there were a bunch of people standing around at these parties with gardening shears hacking bits off the tree.
The explanations above mean that this makes so much more sense now.
Signed: An Australian who has Christmas get-togethers that we do not call “tree trimming parties” and where no one cuts trees 😉
me, too!
hahahaha, same.
Also, we don’t have tree-trimming parties in my country. I have only been to one once and the host was a Bosnian who had lived in the US for several years. 🙂
I had no idea what a tree trimming party was either. I was imagining people taking turns with large gardening sheers…
haha I’ll bet it would have made the party much more fun 🙂
HA!! It’s likley a fake pre-lit tree that came out of a box. Guests hang one ornament and then eat, drink and smoke weed, lol.
As others have said, it’s just a pre-Christmas party. A friend of mine has one every year and also calls it a “tree-trimming party” but I don’t know many other people who use that phrase.
Tree trimming parties are usually casual get-togethers, where attendees wear Christmas sweaters and the like; they drink, and eat canapes. A low-key cocktail party.
Nothing heavy is served. No sit-down dinner. At some point, boxes of ornaments come out and everyone puts something on the tree.
Some hosts send a special ornament home with guests. That’s mostly it. Nothing too fancy. Nothing too involved.
@ Starkville you are right, I agree, false meaning of Christmas
I think Jennifer is in the best place she’s been in her career. It’s clear she has pull and is well liked among her peers. Her exes want some of her shine. Justin Theroux seems particularly thirsty to me.
Say what you will about BP’s messy private life, but he doesn’t need anyone’s “shine” or “pull” in his professional life. Now Justin, on the other hand…
Disagree. If Brad reconnects with all of the people he was connected to pre Angelina, then it makes it seem like she was the one who separated him from them in the first place. They all still like him, and want to be around him? He must be a great guy! Nothing to see here. Angelina is overreacting… etc etc. It’s certainly a PR move.
@:smcollins. I agree with you 100%
Originaltessa how the hell does that make any sense. He was still friends with all of them. I’m sure he knew they didn’t like her because they were also friends with his then ex. That is awkward. Now he is filing back because he wants to be rekindled with that circle! Facts!
Read the sarcasm in my comment. I shouldn’t have to explain it. And no, he wasn’t still friends with these people while he was married to Angelina. Give me a break.
Originaltessa…
You are 100% right about Brad and his sneaky PR move!! 😒
Theroux might be an asshole but he’s very talented and VERY connected. The only thing he ever really needed from Aniston was publicity, not for a leg up in Hollywood.
While some of that may be true about JT, his connections came from her. He has her manager, PR firm and CAA. None of which he had prior to being with her. It seems to me that he always needed a friend to get him in the door, before Jen it was Ben Stiller and RDJ.
Because she has a GG and SAG nom this year?
@Aurora
Exactly.👍
In it’s time, Friends was the biggest show in Blighty and stays on rotation on both Sky & Netflx.
Aniston was a superstar in the UK anyway. She was on every mag cover and celebs like All Saints, Louise Nurding and various footballer wives were copying her hairstyle/aesthetic. ‘Hairmania’ – not seen since Princess Di.
She’s enjoying career best reviews with the Morning Show and stays getting paid big bucks.
Pitt (along with Cruise, Depp, Dicpario, Washington, Hanks) has always been a HW name, work output notwithstanding. And is currently a frontrunner for award season with OUATH.
I don’t get the this hilarious narrative that both are nobodies, or has-beens, who need tabloid attention to stay relevant. 😆😆
They’re exes who have stayed friends as many, many, other former paramours have.
So what? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♂️Life is short.
I agree with this comment by Jegede. However, it’s good “maintenance PR” anyway. You take nothing for granted in HW and your goodwill. This is flattering for both Pitt and Aniston but it’s not like they actually “need” it at this stage. It’s good name-maintenance PR.
Also on the Aniston-Pitt-marriage friendship circle thing, Melissa Etheridge actually talked about this. She said after Jolie filed for divorce that Pitt had a bunch of friends who hadn’t seen him since he broke up with Jen and they wanted to get back in touch. I think they’re all just very good friends and, yes, life is short and HW A-list is a small circle so why not keep your friendships even if it’s with an ex. Some friendships are more rewarding than relationships, depending on the person.
“Justin Theroux seems particularly thirsty to me.”
Indeed. And I love how magnanimous she is being regarding her exes. It just makes her look more powerful.
She is magnanimous now, after fifteen years and when Brad is divorced.
It’s not a recent thing.
They’ve been stories over the years about Pitt & Aniston reaching out to each other to congratulate the other, or say hi.
Seems they’ve been civil for a long while.
@Jegede
Yes, they were civil, but they were not hanging around when he was with Angelina. Like, Angelina and Brad were hanging out with Billy Bob Thorton and Johnny Lee Miller (her exes) on several occasions. Never happend with Jennifer.
Yeah, not so much. Hate Brad Pitt all you want, maybe it’s deserved, but he doesn’t need JA’s connections.
What was he thinking with that white shirt, honestly?
Apart from that, let the tabloids games begin – I admit I’m entertained.
(I like a good showmance, and considering the kids are safe with Angie and removed from repercussions, I’m ready to enjoy this one… Will it help his Oscar campaign if he teased a red carpet reunion at the cerimony? It would boost ratings)
You it seems have no taste outside of our crapy usa fashion! Shirt i s FAB jealous much huh? Lol
I don’t understand these two. What is the point of all this?
Past young love?. You…had none i presume! I it lingers!
PR,PR, that’s how Hollyweirdos operate & some people fall for it ! Young fresh faces are needed in the industry! Pitt- Aniston loves being flash on tabloids covers they like to dominate! & that’s how they survive!
Oh please…. All the guests are from CAA & for the both of them this is PR & stick it to Angelina. Both of them are the most overprotected people in the industry & by no means above playing these games.
And only Brad’s attendance was explained, not everyone else’s.
She has this party every year. A large majority of the guests are good friends, people such as Bateman’s, Kimmel’s, Bullock and her man, her director buddy Will Speck and his partner, her old friends Andrea and Kristin, her stylist sisters Nina and Clare, Cox and Kudrow. What good are any of them going to do Brad? Not a CAA party for PR, but her annual Christmas party.
You missed the point entirely. Most of her friendships are set up through CAA even she & brad were set up through CAA. I was being sarcastic saying it’s a CAA party.
Yeah, it seems Brad STILL wants to stick it to Angelina!! 😒 maybe because this was the first time in his life, that he was dumped??, And so publicly I may say!! LOL!! 😁 How is he going to react when Angelina has a new boyfriend or if the kids get a new stepfather!! 😂
I’m pretty sure Goop dumped him… Maybe Aniston is the only one who did *not* dump him
Of what I had read on the net… Goop cheated on him but Brad did the dumping!! It seems as Angelina is the first to dump him!!
Goop cheated and he dumped her.
I’m not as mad at this story as some other people apparently are, lol.
Of course someone fed this story to People to make Brad and Jen look good, but that’s what PR is. My guess is that they are civil but not “friends” and Jen invited Brad along with dozens of other people and it wasn’t a big deal.
eh, there are ALWAYS going to be “Team” people who care WAY more than they should about these people’s personal lives and dissect EVERY MOVE and theorize…nay, STATE what the move means. because they know them personally dontchaknow.
theorizing is fun, and we all do that…it’s the people that act like they know them, act like these people are close friends that they have to defend, and literally get angry with other posters for disagreeing…those are the folks that I try to avoid. fascinating, in a train wreck kind of way.
JA also seems to invite Justin Theroux to her gatherings. Maybe she’s just at a place in her life where she has chosen forgiveness.
That is part of her image Hollywood sweetheart!
ad…
100% agree with you!!
Am I the only one that thinks it’s possible they’ll get back together? I think they made sense as a couple, truly. Angelina was always way out of his league. I like Jen, I do, but she seems more his speed. Do a face mask, get matching highlights, smoke a bowl, and then go to some party and talk bullshit with pretentious people. They’re getting into their older age now, kids are long past her… I’m just saying it’s possible.
He would get bored again like he always does plus he doesn’t drink anymore and Jen likes her margaritas.
You must think very little of Jennifer and think she’s a doormat. This man cheated on her left her for another woman had a WHOLE ass family and only after being dumped by his wife and have passed 15 YEARS he remember that Jen exist!! And don’t forget he let the rumors that he left her because she refused to give him child. He was a POS to both his wife’s and both deserve better.
No I think pretty highly of her, but I’ve seen some of my best friends, women I love and respect more than anything, do weird things when it comes to a guys they love. It’s not as easy as that when a man you once loved comes crawling back into your life. I’m just saying it’s possible. Crazier things have happened.
Originaltessa…
You think pretty highly of Jennifer?? NO!! YOU DONT!! 😂
Dulce. Sure, tell me how I feel. That always works out.
Originaltessa…
That was funny!! 😅😂😜😋
@dulce, how rude.
He didn’t cheat on her, even Aniston has repeatedly said so. Aniston fans created the lie of an affair to cover up that she didn’t want children.
I don’t know if they will but one thing that really caught my eye of those pictures was how much SHE was into HIM. Body language wise she was always leaning in and looking up. Him nope. He would be a very lucky man if she forgives him all that shit. I hope for her own mental health she doesn’t take him back. Forgive him? Sure I mean why waste your energy but take him back well no.
Yeah those old photos. She looked very much in love. Too bad it didn’t last.
My thoughts exactly. I thought they were very well matched and think the marriage broke down over having children. I don’t think she wanted them and he did.
Well he may have wanted them but he didn’t treat them very well.
Exactly!!!!!!!
Why would Jennifer take him back? It would make her look pathetic and desperate.
CAA partly and these two play the same game thinking they will win awards because of some kind of strange attendance together at private parties. It’s hilarious and sad on both of their parts.
It’s like some kind ic sick game they play for attention. But isn’t that HW PR. To be honest few people care if they are in the same room they get a bigger kick out of it when the evil Angie is there! Lol
I commend Angie in this whole hoopla. She and her kids are far removed from the vileness that surrounds this circle.
To me Pitt is more manipulative and malicious than the media portrait Angie. Isn’t that a revelation.
The truth is this little sanctimonious crowd got together in 2005 when Pitt strayed to the so called toxic woman and tried to destroy her and tap him on the hand. Commence to 2016 when shit hits the fan and he Hits a child. Jolie won’t cover it up and his team tries to destroy her yet again. What do we call this! The media ate it up and Made a killing but so did they.
Angelina eventually got tired of putting up with what Aniston didn’t care about as long as she got the attention.
The woman who doesn’t roll in bed within their little circle, doesn’t care to and she is labeled. Pretty much tried to blackball her but she had too much power on her side. That whole circle of BS and friends are evil and obnoxious.
Hi Angie!
My anger is with Pitt, not so much Jennifer. He gaslights Angelina, abuses his kids & the media never call him out on it. They fall for his non exsistent charms & vilify Angelina every chance they get. Yet people fawn over him & say he deserves so much love & happiness it makes me sick. Angelina & the kids deserve love & respect from him, not to be thrown under the bus to save his image.
Can you imagine if situation was reversed? If Angelina was alcoholic, hit a child, Brad filed for divorce, kids are with Brad and they refuse to be with Angelina? Oh, my.
No one would ever say that she deserves so much love and happiness.
@Michelle, very well said. It’s not just the media though. It’s the millions of Aniston fans who live for the day that their golden couple reunite. THEY don’t care that he’s a child abuser that Jolie turned her back on and NEVER looked back. If Pitt gets with Aniston, it’s because Jolie(or anybody else) does not want him.
I hope these two DO get together. It will show that the great Brad Pitt wasn’t able to pull and INTERESTING woman and had to go back to the woman he humiliated in front of the world. And she’ll take him back too. They’ll run to every tabloid to talk about how Brad was mesmerized by Jolie the ‘temptress’ but now he’s back with BORING basic Jen, safe and sound. It will serve both of them right.
I hope he tries to win her back and she tells him to eff off.
😄
Did anyone read Lainey’s article yesterday about them? It felt like she was insinuating this was the beginning of something, which kinda shocked me a little. She doesn’t spill real tea too much these days, but whens he does, she usually talks around it. Just made me wonder.
Lainey is like that with every woman he’s linked with. Check out what she said about Sienna, Dr NO, Charlize, the nurse, Alia and now Jen.
Chelsea Handler was there too. The woman who hated on the mother of his kids for more than a decade and made racist jokes about his kids. No wonder his kids are pulling away from him one by one. Hollywood over kids is his choice.
Just to be clear, Handler’ d made racist jokes about the adopted kids and we know Pitt pretty much has little to no relationship with the adopted children. That ought to tell folks some about his character or lack of.
He only love himself, the adulation & of course his wealth. I find him vile !
@OriginalCarol
dont forget Angie told Pax that Brad didnt want to adopt him, not the best way to cultivate a father-son relationship. The court had to tell Angie to stop alienating the children in general.
I am not defending Brad, but both him and Angie are lousy parents
Where did you get that from, enike? Because it isn’t true. She didn’t say that at all, and the court didn’t tell her about alienating the children. The children clearly love Angie, she is a good responsible parent.
Jennifer Aniston faked a whole wedding & marriage for PR, so she is not above playing these games along side him.
Brad sees more of Jennifer these days than of his kids. Give him father of the year award.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@ TALIE
Oh please, Lainey knows nothing. She’s just obsessed with Pitt and wants him to hook up with someone so she would have more reasons to write about him every day. She didn’t even cover the last week story about only half of his kids visiting him for Christmas because it’s not flattering to him. Guess she didn’t want to ruin his good week.
My GAWD…they were married…it was a HORRIFIC DIVORCE…that I place on Brad, because Jennifer was HIS WIFE…which he TOTALLY disrespected cause as my Mama ALWAYS says…”It’s not WHAT you do…it is HOW you do it…” and he could have had Angie and the life he wanted at the time without ALL OF THAT MESS…but that was DECADES ago…and hopefully…once you get older..you do get wiser…you don’t carry ill will…and if you wanna come to a big party I’m throwing cause your lonely, on the wagon a– need friends like the desert needs water…than come on by….
IJS…
@LaLa
Exactly, I agree completely with your whole comment. I don’t feel like it’s that deep, especially on Jen’s part. Thanks for the rational post.
He left Aniston and then got with Jolie. He did it the right way. In her Vanity Fair interview with Aniston and Cox, Courteney said Pitt went to Aniston and told him he had feelings for Jolie. He was completely honest. Aniston wanted him to have an affair, ‘get it out of his system’ and come back to her. But Pitt was too upstanding, he couldn’t cheat. So he ended it with Aniston completely, and THEN chased after Jolie. Not like Aniston with Theroux when Aniston introduced him as her boyfriend, knowing he was still living with Heidi Bivens his partner of 14 (fourteen) years. Aniston is the one who disrespected Pitt, and disrespected Bivens.
LOL. I read this article on Yahoo! a couple of days ago and thought to myself “this is 100% pure Huvane.” “An eyewitness” saw Brad arrive early and was “the second to last guest to leave” the party. Really? Someone spied on Brad that whole time even with a tree to trim? That’s pure PR. Who’s the “eyewitness?” I worked with PR execs in my profession and it is their business to generate publicity — good or bad just as long as you keep the people talking. It’s award season. All that was missing from this get up is the eyewitness account of Justin Theroux taking coats from the guests and parking their cars.
Lol but the general public who read gossip doesn’t realize this. It’s all publicity always has been and always will be.
LOL ikr. It’s so obvious.
Mireille…
BEST COMMENT OF THE DAY!! 😂😂😂
I think she probably invites a ton of people and includes him to be nice, because I bet if they talk, it’s all sob stories from him. He seems very manipulative. Maybe she feels bad for him, but she shouldn’t – he was awful to her, eventually awful to the woman he ditched her for, and awful to the kids he so badly wanted.
I think he is enjoying the positive publicity this brings him, and is trying to get back to that crowd, back to his old life. Dude needs to get it together and move forward.
How was he awful to Aniston? Aniston was awful to him, she spent almost 10 years referencing Pitt and making passive-aggressive digs at Jolie and at Pitt, and mocked having twins on each hip. Yet people give Aniston a free past for her manipulative and nasty behaviour? Why? Pitt never said a word against Aniston. Aniston went in guns blazing, mocking him, laughing about a cartoon showing her shooting Jolie, hiring Handler to make racial attacks against the adopted children – all why Aniston pretended to be so innocent. Aniston is vile and very manipulative, and she was awful to Pitt and to Jolie. She invited Pitt because she is a master media manipulator, it’s how she rolls.
Oh, I forgot, she was awful to Heidi Bivens, too. The woman Theroux was with when Aniston had an affair with him, he was *living* with Heidi Bivens, his partner of 14 years. Fourteen years! Heidi had to find out about her own partner’s adultery via cosy photos of Theroux and Aniston. She fled their shared house that weekend. But as usual, Aniston gets a pass for all of her dirty and awful and manipulative things she’s done to people.
The only thing I have to say about this is that I am loving The Morning Show and Jennifer Aniston is so, so, so, SO good on it. She deserves every accolade coming her way, IMO. I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I thought it was … meh. I definitely agree that QT could have cut 20-30 minutes and it would have been the same movie, just less naval gazing. BP was fine, but I was expecting way more from his performance based on all the reviews calling him the frontrunner for Best Supporting Actor. I thought Leo did great work in the film though.
I liked OUATIH for its ability to maintain a low simmer for much of the film but the Bruce Lee thing was definitely mean spirited, though no racist. Pitt and Leo were both good.
Stephen Huvane invited Pitt via his agent. They are all stupid and fake. Brad went for political reasons. He somehow thinks Angie will be jealous. ROTFL. I don’t think that’s his reason. I truly think he wants to be back in some people’s good graces career wise. I find that disturbing but he is lost and someone needs to help him.
I think Angelina hurt him bad because she left. And the drinking escalated. He hates how the kids feel about him, how Angie feels, how some people kick him on social media. But look dude the kids you can and need to fix. But his words exactly was that he can be an asshole and I do believe and have seen it.
Where does he go on in his life? He can film, go to concerts with his friends, let the media lift him up but he has to heal what is broken inside. And these are facts. He doesn’t want to reconcile with Aniston but he wants the media to write about it.
Jen seems comfortable with he life now but she loves the attention also. I haven’t watch TMS or OUTIH because I find both of them and the circle they run in revolting.
So invested, wow. Who cares. Take it easy. It’s just celeb gossip about people you’ve never met in real life (or maybe you know these people).
This is PR 101. Those two attention whores know how to drum up publicity and both revel in it. Ain’t nothing going on between them but an agreed show of congeniality to each other.
Jennifer loves the attention from all of this drama, loves the publicity, she wants more people to watch her apple show. But most important, she is looking for a BF, she has been single since last year, she seems chasing back either Brad and John Mayer. Theroux has a new much younger GF. Jennifer was caught calling John in his IG. John although follows and like her IG posts, seems busy and is just being friendly and flirty maybe with her. He finds her too old for him but Jen was madly in love with him before. As for Brad, she probably has a harder getting closer with him, yes came on her bday earlier this year, but maybe not much development as Brad has family issues and was promoting 2 movies this year. So Jen invited him again for her christmas party, my point is, she really wants to be closer with him, now that he is no longer with Angie and I really think she is hoping for Brad to get back with her. This is also her way of getting back at Angie, you know , giving her the humiliation that Angie caused her before. you see, I really think she did not blame Brad for the break-up, she blamed and hates Angie to death. I think she wants to show the world that she wins in the end.
As for Brad, I think he attended because he was invited and had the time just like her bday party, and the insensitive him just doesnt care about Angie’s feeling, after all they are not together anymore. He would also benefit from it because he knows there are lot of academy voters in the party and of course any publicity in this drama will be good for him. Whether, he himself would want to go back with her first ex-wife, its possible for practical reasons. Jennifer has no kids and is rich and of course still famous, still a good match for him. But then, his kids and his family situation will play a factor. But if he really hates Angie now because she dumped him and giving him a hard time with the financial settlement, I think Brad will go back to Aniston just to get back at Angie. So these, two, Brad and Jennifer are two-faced, Jennifer has the image of being really nice, america’s sweetheart, but in person, she is foul-mouth and vindictive, she lets her friend Chelsea trashed Angie and kids and follows a super Angie hater on IG. Brad of course has the image of Mr. nice charming guy in HW, little did we know that he is an alcoholic abusive father, now a vindictive exhusband.
Jennifer aint “winning” anything by going back to an ex husband who left her for another woman, publicly humiliated her and has family drama with 6 kids. I hope someone close to her cares enough to tell her the truth.
how is Brad attending the party humiliating to Angie?
Because he is basically feeding the people who think he was oh so happy with Jennifer and then Angelina showed up and stole him being the witch that she is and he didn’t really want to go. Now that she is gone he can go back to his real love. That’s what some people seriously believe and i believe this PR from Brad is happening to feed those people.
Some parts of usa south, love to be tacky and mean, this is old fashion love story perfaps, many of you have no clue
Honest confession here that the brad pitt a river runs through it years was he object of my secret lust though I’m much older than he is and I generally prefer dark and moody over blonde and ken doll. I am always surprised how good his acting can be as well.
But this is a guy who over the years gets with a woman and gets engaged and adopts her life for his next chapter and probably the woman is over it sooner than he is. Some of him being cheated on may be a more acceptable form of chewing your leg off. I’m ashamed to say I have done this as well in my distant pass.

They’ve been over for nearly 15 years & work in the same industry with lots of mutual friends… I see this as ex’s being civil and friendly. That’s all
+1
This still seems weird to me. I get that it’s long over and they have no lingering hostilities, but why hang out? I’m friendly with my ex, meaning if we run into each other, we chat and ask about each others families. We text each other occasionally with news, but never go out of our way to see each other. I wonder if they do it just to get people to talk.
Of course, publicity that’s how these people operates. That was the main purpose publicity!
Nothing to see here. This is just 2 old friends who reconnected after a divorce. This happens all the time. I’m not “blaming” Angie, but it seems like he stepped back from a lot of friends during his relationship with her. And I think Jen is just friendly with most (some?) of her exes. I’m pretty sure Justin was at her Friendsgiving
He stepped back because they spent those years hating on her so how could he possibly be friends with people who were attacking the woman he was dating? says more about his friends tbh.
I wouldn’t even begin to speculate on their current relationship, but somebody just bask with me for a minute in how GOOD he looked while he was married to Jen. She kept that boy well-groomed, didn’t she? I’d forgotten how beautiful he used to be.
I’m sorry but your comment about how he was good looking with Jen indicates the delusion that we all have when we see photos of people or on the red carpet while,actually i didnt consider him a good actor or an actor with depth but after getting with Angie and becoming a dad, he got nominated for lots of academy awards and he cared about the content of his movies rather than his pretty looks
