So with Camille Grammer sending traffic my way to see my “nasty comments” about her, I have throngs of Camille fans at my site looking for nastiness that doesn’t exist. I mean, there is plenty of nastiness here, just not about Camille since her glorious return to RHOBH. When something that fantastic happens to drive ratings, I have a moment to go the Publix and feed the dog and prepare for primetime.
So of course on my five-minute car ride to Publix, breaking news comes over the radio that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have separated! I raced through the aisles and came on an fed the dog and then jumped right back to work to bring you the news! Here is the official PR…
“In an effort to reduce any further speculation, we have decided to announce our separation. This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year. We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship,” the couple said in a joint statement to Tamara Tattles* “Normally we would do this privately, but given that the gossip industry cannot resist an opportunity to speculate and invent, we wanted to convey the truth directly. Whatever else is printed about us that is not directly from us, is someone else’s fictional narrative. Above all, we are determined to maintain the deep respect and love that we have for one another.”
Jennifer and Justin were married in what was supposed to be a super secret marriage in August of 2015. I believe they actually dated longer than they were married.
While Jennifer and Justin want us to believe that they just magically grew apart, CNN reminded us of an article that came in Architectural Digest just last month which quoted Jennifer as saying…
“There was a time when I thought there was something romantic about picking up and trotting off somewhere different every three months. Now I’m becoming more particular about the projects I take,” she told the magazine. “I look around at my husband and my dogs and our home, and there’s nowhere else I want to be.”
As they say, were you lying then, or are you lying now, Jennifer! So come on, you guys know we are all THINKING IT! COULD IT BE? I mean, he is single… #TeamAniston
*Jennifer and Justin in fact did not send me the press release. I just like making fun of sites who pretend like they get their press releases in some special way. Because, see, a press release is issued to the press.
I must have missed the bashing of Camille. I thought you said she looked and was a great dancer?
The way things are going lately, She will end up with Angelina.
THAT would be a press release!
Team Brad and Jen. He has the kids he wanted, with a crazy price to pay, and Jen can get her man back! Yesss!
I know you’re probably kidding. Can’t imagine she’d ever take him back after the way he treated her. Brad was incredibly insensitive, self-centered and thoughtless. I remember an interview she did with Vanity Fair years after they split, in which she said he was missing a, “sensitivity chip”. I’ve coopted that phrase and use it ( often) when describing my Ex. I actually used it again just the other day. Although frankly, I think most of the men I know are missing that chip.
I’m bummed about this news! I know, “Everybody” saw it coming. Well, I didn’t. Divorce sucks, it’s the worst. It appears as if she has a lot of good friends to see her through and she’s fortunate money isn’t an issue.
I love Jennifer. She is one of my best friends in my head. No matter what happened, it was his fault.
Nope I believe it’s her. She can’t seem to keep a man. They have all broken up with HER.
That doesn’t mean it’s HER fault. It can also mean she’s terrible at picking men. I say the later. Brad was a real jerk and has admitted he was stoned the entire marriage.
Jason’s also very New York and she’s the epitome of LA. I live outside NYC and I’d see pic’s of her in The Post/Daily news visiting her apartment here but less and less frequently lately. Their neighbors here speak highly of her and VERY poorly of him.
How can you believe what you read about a woman the media has said is pregnant 867,000 times?
JMO – she is incredibly self centered. It’s all about HER vacation spots, HER LA home, HER clothes, diet, workouts, etc.
Justin was probably over that a loooong time ago!
Yes Jen and Brad need to get back together. Jolie must be going nuts right about now. Good, she’s a bitch!!
Yup! Jenn would be Angelina’s kids stepmom.
Omg! Can you imagine! That’s hysterical. Angelina would go postal. I take everything I read about these people with a grain of salt, but for some reason, I’ve always felt that she didn’t like Aniston-at all. The way she rubbed her affair with Pitt in her face with that huge spread of the two of them, with Brad playing happy paterfamilias was below the belt and nasty.
Wouldn’t that be just the most delicious poetic justice of all times, Jen and Brad getting back together? It’ll never happen, although the last time I said that, Donald Trump got elected.
Sad to hear. Yes, they dated for at least five years. Tough to hold a marriage together when you are not together a lot.
The Camille thing is bizarre. She has been given compliments all over the web.
She’s a good greek girl.
I know, her daddy is Victor Kiriakis!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And who doesnt love and hate old Victor? I was just talking about Kris Kosecheck (sp?) coming back as Roman Brady back in the day last week! Awe the good ole days… lol….
#teamJen
I’m not surprised by this news. Justin was living and dating someone else when Jennifer swooped in. Jennifer has lived a very charmed life. Her looks are mediocre-even with the nose job and so is her acting.
She will never be on Angelina’s level in any way- looks wise and talent wise. Jennifer will never be nominated for an Academy Award, let’s be honest. She is very likable. Her image has afforded her many passes- acting, looks, etc. No one really scrutinized her like they did Angelina when it was discovered she was dealing with Justin while he was still in a relationship with someone else.
Brad indeed upgraded in every way when he dated and married Angel8na after bein* with a Jennifer.
I’m not sure where you are getting your Angelina Jolie information from but just a basic google search would let you know she is a very troubled, unlikable person.
An even deeper search you will find all kinds of issues with her drug use including videos.
It’s a fact that Angelina has been nominated for an Academy Award and has won. It’s also a fact that Jennifer hasn’t ( and never will). She simply plays the same type of roles over and over.
It’s also a fact Justin was in a long term relationship with someone else prior to getting with Jennifer.
Ultimately, it’s my opinion that Angelina is beautiful and Jennifer isn’t. No one- including you knows what really goes on in these people’s lives personality and vice wise. Image is indeed important and Jennifer has a nice girl image- it doesn’t mean that it’s true in reality.
I said what I said.
What’s interesting is that you’re criticizing other people for acting like they know what happened when you’re doing the same exact thing.
Things that make you go. hmmmm.
The movie “Cake” was very good- I thought that was very good acting by Jen!
I agree. She was great in ‘Cake’ and I also loved her in ‘The Good Girl’.
I love the Good Girl! I also love me some Jake Gyllenhaal. Sigh…
I just re-watched Nocturnal Animals. He’s devastating in that. Great flick-depressing (!) but great. Highly recommend. The designer Tom Ford wrote and directed it.
Obviously somehow Angelina is likeable if she won awards for her Humanitarian work. She has fought for several causes – and not just for the spotlight. I’m sure she has flaws, just like everyone else including opossum faced Jennifer.
Jen and Justin put out this “image”just a month ago that they were such strong, healthy couple- clearly it wasn’t true. Image doesn’t always dictate fact.
You are quite delusional… $ckankalina!?! Love it!
You are delusional and clearly have nothing valid to say.
“opposum faced Jennifer” I almost fell off my chair! Thank you Stacy! Love your comments!
Yeah, Jen is an ugly unattractive person with no acting career.
Jesus Christ woman, Angelina is a basket case who wears her boyfriend blood in a vial and makes out with her brother.
She does a lot of great things in the world, but Jen is a beautiful down to earth girl. Who is, you know, sane and stuff.
I actually think Jen is more beautiful. She has a healthy strong great body and a natural, expressive face. She seems to exude wellness. A real California girl.
Are we really debating women’s looks?
I never said she was ugly and didn’t have an acting career. You’re taking things to the extreme. There are plenty of actors and actresses that have acting careers that aren’t great actors. Facts
I’m not sure why you would use “Jesus Christ” to drive home a point. I actually reverence that name and typically people that use it so loosely don’t.
Again, Angelina has done crazy things in the PAST. Just because you don’t know Jennifer’s flaws and it isn’t documented by the media, doesn’t mean she doesn’t have them.
I can’t attest to ANYONE’s sanity that I don’t personally know.
Just a few years ago, your own sanity was a focal point, so for you to mention the health of someone else’s mental state is alarming.
I don’t care if it’s your blog. I won’t be back . Good Day.
A true Scarlet O’Hara flounce! I miss my old message boards.
Jesus Christ, how does It escape you that Brad was MARRIED to Jennifer when Angelina ghouled her way into the picture? Upgrade in every way? Ugh.
Arent you gonna slam the door or something more dramatic?
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass. Cheers.
Go with God, And Jesus Christ, Stacy.
Amen. LOL.
See you next Tuesday, Stacy!
Tamara this a great statement, you give me life on a grey day!
Angelina has always been a habitual homewrecker. Brad wasn’t the first taken man she has set her sights on. She ruined Billy Bob Thornton and Laura Dern’s relationship too. And I know the men are more at fault because they are the ones who are married but she doesn’t mind going after guys in relationships. Which is weird because she is so resentful towards her dad for cheating on her mom all the time and leaving them to be with another woman.
I don’t think Brad and Jen would ever get back together anyway. They seem to both be very different people now.
So perceptive of you, the point about how Angelina has long resented her father for cheating on her mother, yet has at least twice broken up long time couples.
Many times as adults, we repeat the same patterns/ behavior that we abhorred in our parents when we were children. It’s called, “repetition compulsion,” or why we repeat the past. In repetition compulsion a person will repeat an upsetting dynamic, traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again. Including reenacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event(s) is likely to happen again. We seek out relationships with certain people as a means of recreating history and changing the outcome, thereby gaining mastery over what we couldn’t control as a child. (the last bit is Freudian) I find it fascinating!
Then again, Angelina could just be an asshole who hates other women. ; )
And she kept her children from their grandfather. Leave your kids out the beef you have with him. They were robbed of time away from him. PS I hate that he’s a tRumpy but whatever.
Sad I guess. Not sure how anyone stays married in that world, I have a hard enough time in my hard working middle class, looking/feeling my age world!
Loved the nod to “your breaking story” TT! The increased traffic sounds exciting too!
Awww. Thats too bad about the break up. I sorta wonder why they bothered getting married after all that time, and then for it too last so little. I would have thought they would have had it figured out. There were rumours about him and other women. I also saw that article where she gushed about her marriage, but Ive seen that so much with celeberties. The more they gush and pledge undying love, the quicker the divorce comes.
Well didn’t Brad and she go on romantic trip right before they announced separation? Walking on the beach holding hands?
yes they did. Mexico with Courtney Cox and David Arquette. I am that old and still not over Brad and Jen!
I would imagine it would be hard to be Mr. Jennifer Aniston.
I liked them as a couple.
He’s hugely successful as a writer Tropic Thunder etc.
I love that flick, he was also in it and very funny (although Robert Downey stole that film!)
He really hasn’t written anything else of merit. He was good on Leftovers on HBO. But the show didn’t get a ton of press. He received a lot of press for the size of Johnson. Apparently he wore sweatpants in one of the first episodes without his tighty whities underneath and he looked pretty impressive.
God, I hate I know this stuff. What info is being pushed aside in my tiny brain in favor of remembering info about Justin Theroux’s penis. What a life.
Baffles me how people who have so much money cannot figure out how to stay married.
Buy 2 houses! Speak only through mediators!
I bet they just don’t know what they want.
It takes 2 humans who want to stay a couple.
I think people not knowing what they want in life, is really a big issue now. They want it all, or they want different things at different times.Theres too much choice, too much fast entertainment. A long term comittment is only good in theory for some, until boredom sets in, or it gets tough. I knew a guy who was a big self admitted comittment phobe, and he said he never knows what he wants ever, and is very wishy washy and fickle because of that. Well, I think alot of guys are that way now, and although Im not blaming Justin, I know its hard to find a guy who wants to be in it for the long haul. This is especially true when the woman is getting older, and guys the same age feel they have even more choice, and can have kids at any age. So, Justin isnt the one for Jennifer I guess, but someone else will be. Its so true that to make it work you really both have to want to be a couple and you need to prefer that life style over being single. And you need to feel you just cant do without that person in your life and that you would be lost without them. Otherwise, there just isnt any glue to hold it together long term.
“Buy 2 houses! Speak only through mediators!” NOW THIS IS A RELATIONSHIP I COULD HAVE.
You slay me!!
I’d settle for separate bathrooms.
I did that and it STILL didn’t work.
(personally I really liked it! oh well, you live, you learn)
Well Spunky , you’d have double the cleaning !
Jen and Brad are so getting back together. And TT, as I recall, you have never been anything but complimentary to Camille!
I doubt that. Jennifer believes in loyalty that’s why she disowned her mother for years and broke off a long term friendship with Chelsea Handler. Getting back with Pitt would mean she has no dignity.
Brad cheated and very publicly LEFT Jennifer for Angelina, so “Brad and Jen need to get back together” is ridiculous. I have never understood the media’s infatuation with mediocre Aniston? She is not the only starlet to ever get cheated on.
I don’t get the Aniston infatuation either. I would never pick her out in a room. I’m sure she must be a nice person but so what?
I never really got it, either, but she projects a likeable, sunny, relatable persona on the screen. She’s a competent actress, and I have liked her in every movie I’ve seen her in. I wouldn’t go to a movie because she’s in it, but I don’t spend the movie thinking about other actresses they could have cast that I like better (Andie McDowell, for instance, I mentally recast her role every time she’s on the screen.)
She’s the Debbie Reynolds of our generation. (I’m probably dating myself) Debbie, Eddie and Liz were the big story in the 1950’s. Eddie left America’s sweetheart for bad girl Liz. Quelle Horror!
Even at, what is she 47 (?) she’s still perpetually, “the girl next door”. Women think they could be friends with her and she’s pretty, but not outrageously so, that men think they just might have a shot.
She’s well rid of him. He’s suing an elderly man in his building for talking to the press about his apartment renovations, which have been ongoing for a year. Plus that obnoxious gun charm he wore for years. And the vast of hair gel he’s used.
I like you!
Omg. If America’s sweetheart gets back together with Mr. Pitt and has a baby, 2018 is over.
Isn’t she like 47 though? I think the baby ship has sailed.
Actually I just looked it up and she is 49. Yep, definitely sailed. Unless she adopts of course.
Ms. Jackson if you’re nasty had her baby at 50 years old. It’s never too late if the desire is there and proper precautions have been taken.
Not fair to the child to have an elderly parent though. Jackson had that child and then divorces a few months later – terrible IMO.
I hope she doesn’t decide to adopt. I think she would be a “Mommie Dearest” kind of mother.
I think she’s been pretty clear that she doesn’t want children.
Camille is working my last nerve. She has too much going on to be worried about fake news. TT you have been nothing but supportive and complimentary to her so if she’s referencing season 1 then the bitch needs to drink bleach becausr everyone hated her on her first season.
This does not surprise me. For some reason they never did it for me as a couple. I never really got that “so in love” vibe with them.
BKSweetheart, I agree. As a couple they reminded me of Joanna Krupa and Romain Zago from HW of Miami. It seemed like Jennifer and Joanna were more invested in the relationships than their boyfriends were and after dating so long the women felt like they would look like losers if they just walked away and instead needed to seal the deal and prove they could “get their man” to the altar. It rarely turns out well if you have to pressure someone to marry you.
Not a shock. She probably had enough of choking on his 1990s douche fumes.
@Frosty – Hahahaha-I almost spit my coffee out! I Like you!!
That Lothario eyebrow, lolol!
Yes! The eyebrow. He looks like Bert from Sesame Street. Especially when he wears striped shirts.
This is sad news! 🙁
Better if Jen and Brad stay far away from each other . You could never trust him again after he dumped her . She is not a beauty but a cute likable woman who seems to have a lot of friends. It always amazed me how the public made such a big deal about her the real beauty on that show was Courtney Cox
Jennifer Anniston and Courtney Cox are as close as sisters, and Courtney and her husband disliked Justin from the start. There was a blind gossip revealed that Courtney’s man called Theroux an “addict”. Poor Jen~ caught in the middle between her husband and BFF.
They broke up last year August already according to CDAN. They delayed the reveal as she did not want to announce it just after Brad and Angelina announced their separation. She is apparently sick of people trying to get her back with Brad and has moved on with her life but the public still wants them together. Their publicist revealed it yesterday as it was a big news day yesterday with the school shooting and all so they hoped it will pass under the radar.
Can you imagine everyone talking and writing about you and your Ex for 13 years after you’ve split!! What a freaken nightmare. That and the constant, “bump watch”, She doesn’t want kids, people need to figure out a way to deal with it. Every time Jen has a bit of gas, “SHE’S PREGNANT!”. It’d turn you off of spicy food forever!
“No thank you” she said to the waitress, wistfully eyeing the plate of burritos, “I’ll have to pass or it will make next weeks cover of US Magazine”.
What a life.
But they are maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddde for each other! Don’t you remember 2005?! Please leave your logic and reason out of all this. 🙂
I don’t have a “team” when it comes to Anniston or Jolie. I’m not a big fan of either one. I changed my opinion about Anniston being a down to earth/nice person when I read her interview in “Vanity Fair’ in 2000. (She was on the cover.) She talked about how she knew Brad was a keeper while they were dating when he flew to “the middle of nowhere” to help her find her lost dog. She didn’t mention where this was but because I lived in Austin, Texas at the time I knew she was talking about when she was filming Mike Judge’s “Office Space” in Austin around 1999. It was all over the local news when her dog went missing. She was staying in a 5 star hotel on the banks of Town Lake in downtown Austin. Austin may not be New York or L.A. but it’s not “the middle of nowhere”. Her dog was found safe and sound. She’s good at “acting” like she’s not a snob.
What I chuckle about is the women who get so mad about whose team youre on. I respect that we all see things from our own perspective. I can see each side too, and have known just as likeable people, who feel strongly one way or the other. Some women feel Angelina is a deep emotional thinker, talented dramatic actress, a motherly humanitarian and has a goddess type of beauty. Others feel Jennifer is the good one, because she was cheated on, and they prefer her wholesome cute girl next door persona or see her as the under dog who made a come back.. Some see Angelina as a crazed and controlling home wrecker. Others see Jennifer as a spoiled, neurotic shallow hollywood type. I can see an argument for either opinion to tell you the truth, and really its based on public perception and how it appears to us and our values. I guess I dont have a team, and I find it just funny to hear how strongly some people come down on one side or the other. I have zero judgement on if youre a Joile team or Annistan team member. I can see a case for both, but I really dont think Brad and Jen would reconcile at this point. Im afraid the love just wasnt strong enough to hold him, and no woman is ever gonna forget that, and the man isnt either. Its been too long past to go back now. I think people can reunite and be stronger after an affair, but not after all this time and being married and having alot of kids with the person they left you for. I think theyre both gonna want to start over fresh with someone that doesnt carry all that deep baggage of betrayl and memories of what they wenr thru back then.
Oh so what about Austin. Jeez
I still live in Austin – I remember that as well. They have renamed Town Lake but I refuse to call it by its new name. Some things don’t need to be changed?
I hope Jen and Brad DON’T get back together. I liked them as a couple and I’ve always been team Jennifer, but he cheated on her and left her for that crazy (allegedly) woman. He doesn’t get her back.
Aniston was on a sitcom that I never watched, nor have I seen her in any movies. She’s cute, but got ditched, and for a woman who I last saw wearing a vial of blood around her neck (60 minutes). She and that Farrowesque menagerie that she has will always be a situation that Pitt will have to consider first and foremost. As I see it, everyone is screwed. But then again, I am not much up on celebrities and did not know that Jackson was divorced. Ignorance is bliss…
My advice is for Brad to reconcile with Angelina. These kids need a cohesive unit for them to thrive.
Thats good advice. When you have children, you can no longer just think about yourself without consequence to them. If at all possible, you need to follow thru on honoring what you started and comitted to. I think if you want to focus on only what you want and chasing personal happiness, you probably should remain childless. Thats not what people want to hear, but its the truth. Brad also needs to stop drinking and Angelina needs to start eating. They both have issues.
I think that’s what Brad and Ange are doing. They have done nothing with their divorce, it’s been on hold for over a year. They’ve continuously done couples and family counseling. I think it was about Brad sobering up and Ange reprioritizing her family and UN work. Quite frankly Ange does too much and it compromises her health. She is looking so much better now that she’s chosen to focus more on family.
That sounds good. Even if they didnt ever get back together, Brad sounded like his drinking was getting out of control and he wasnt being a good parent or spouse. No alcoholic can be said to be a good parent. Certainly, not their best. Angie was looking scary thin. But, counseling and learning better ways may bring them to a reconcilliation, even if thats not what they were going for.
I agree. It should be about the kids not their love life until kids are 18 y/o and out of the house.
Yep. They started a family and kept adding to it too. But, even if its one child, its not about you as an individual anymore and its about seeing that child to adulthood in as loving, sane and stable enviroment as possible. With divorce its very hard to do that. But not getting along and the adults being out of control is bad too. In their case several kids to adulthood. That time can never come back again, their childhood. And, if you fail to do whats best for them, you can change who they would have been forever. Not that divorce doesnt shake up adult children, but at least by then if you gave them a good foundation, they have their own lives and you did your duty.
