Uncool?


So, if some woman comes and steals your husband you are going to call her uncool? According to Vogue that is what Jennifer Aniston said about Angelina Jolie stealing away Brad Pitt. What? Are we in high school? Someone didn't just steal your coke off your lunch tray, the woman stole your husband and all you can say is, 'What Angelina did was very uncool'.

Ummm, yeah. It was uncool and lots more as well. Show some emotion. Show some passion. Put down the pot and show some feeling. The woman came in and took your husband and all you can do is say that? I don't know about you, but I would be slightly more upset at the other person and my significant other than Jennifer appears to be. In fact she doesn't even blame Brad so you know she must have some emotions that she is keeping close in. I wonder if she has ever really got over it. As many times as she has been thrust in front of the cameras and reporters and had all these quotes attributed to her, it is tough to believe this is the first time she has spoken out about it.

I guess I hit enter too soon or something because something I should have said I didn't. Jennifer didn't seem to blame Brad for his role and it seems like no one ever blames the guy. We always make Angelina the bad person here, but Brad Pitt is the one who accepted the offer. Sure, Angelina shouldn't have done it, but Brad could have said no and it would have been done. For some reason we always call the woman the homewrecker. Not the guy. I don't know why that is.

Which is why I think she didn't actually say that.

I don't really know what I would have done....but strangling the Bitch...would have been a beginning....

kimi said...

I don't think she has or ever will get over Brad and how he left her. The magazines surely will not let her forget.

Lady J said...

Does anyone

Molly said...

at the time a woman steals your husband it's all kind of major things, but x number of years later when she's now emotionally unattached, it's reduced to 'uncool'. a sign she is over it. kudos to her. if she gave an answer that was angry and emotional, you'd be slamming her for not moving on. wtf - she can't ever win with some people.

I don't know. I think the marriage was pretty dusty when it happened or she would have been crying everywhere she could.

Lady J said...

does anyone care about this anymore.
i'm sure they can find better things to talk about...like her nonexistent career.

Abaddon said...

This was what was actually said according to US weekly. Sorry if it's a little long.
She did, however, want to go on the record about one thing: She said she was bothered that Jolie felt the need to recount a detailed timeline of exactly how she fell in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. (Pitt was still married to Aniston at the time).
"There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening," Aniston said. "I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss."
Aniston then shook her head in disbelief.
"That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool," Aniston said.
Asked if she ever speaks to Pitt, Aniston said that they have exchanged "a few very kind hellos ... and congratulations on your babies."

She stressed that the two "had an amicable split ... The marriage didn't work out."

Lady J said...

I get the feeling she knew long before Brad stepped out. This is a
man who said all the time that he
wanted a family and she was focused
on her career. nothing wrong with
that, they just wanted different things and in the end he found
someone who wanted the same things as him. But again, who really cares
now, they both seem happier. well he
does.

Molly said...

abaddon, thnx for posting that. it sounds a lot different put into context than the way enty presented it, but no surprise there. he has a bug up his butt about j.a. i'll never understand.

mazemerizing said...

Oh, my God, when will this be over? The tabloids have just gone crazy with this and I don't think it's Jennifer that needs to move on, it's the crappy tabloids. Enough already.

Abaddon said...

Molly, No problemo. Yeah, the quote is completely wrong and taken in the wrong context. Yeah, I know enty has a problem with JA don't know why. Each his own.

Kelita said...

I agree. The tabloids are the ones always making the huge fuss. Enough already, years ago... in context what she said seemed fine to me. And I don't understand why the man never gets the blame either, doesn't seem fair..

The entire quote:

“I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss,” the Marley & Me star says. “That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.”

She wasn't talking about Angie stealing her man, she was talking about how Angelina so callously spilled details as if she's the fairy princess is some fantasy tale.

Anonymous said...

It takes two to tango as the saying goes. What both of them did was "uncool". It was "uncool" that Angelina said what she did recently about her and Brad falling in love. It would be cool if Aniston asked reporters to quit talking about it and move on. (it doesnt appear she wants that, though - rather have the attention)

SisterMaryHotPantz said...

Faithy, I am with you.

I would just refuse to answer this silly questions posed by journalists.

As if this was the first time a Hollywood couple broke up over one or both cheating?

Puhlllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeez let it Go!!!!!!!!

Get ovah it people!

Page six had a Blind Item about Brad and Angie during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith alluding to the affair.

Page Six posted this a couple of days ago.

BRAD Pitt professes his love for Angelina Jolie in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that airs next week, and even says they want more kids - but some are asking why he's been traveling on his own lately. Pitt showed up solo in Chicago on Election Day to watch Barack Obama become president-elect. He then flew solo to New York where he was seen out Wednesday night with old pal Catherine Keener at a West Village eatery. Thursday, Pitt was with pals at Il Cantinori. "They've never really been apart since they met on the set of 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' so it's odd," said one Hollywood observer. Pitt is said to be here shooting "Inglourious Basterds," Quentin Tarantino's remake of the '70s flick "Inglorious Bastards." In the past, Jolie and their brood of six kids have always accompanied him on his jaunts because both parents vowed to rear their kids themselves. A rep for Pitt didn't return e-mails.

Unknown said...

I think Jennifer was probably relieved that they broke up just not at HOW it happened. She wanted a career and he wanted a family..I don't think she thought she could take time off to have one..friends was her big hit..and she really hasn't done anything since then. My guess is that they were going to split up eventually, Angelina just hastened things up.

Unknown said...

Could it be that the blind item a few weeks ago about the Hollywood sweetheart that got all the sympathy during the split up was not actually the wronged party? Could it had been Jennifer and Brad and not Reese and Ryan as everyone assumed.?

Unknown said...

Brad left Jen, most likely because she neglected him. There were zillions of stories about them being apart more than together - she was a fool not to tend to that garden when she had it. He wanted a family - badly. She didn't even spend the last birthday he had with him, she went to London instead and he was alone in LA. Brad's no different than any neglected husband, if you don't treat them well, they will find someone who will. All her loss, so she can't cry about it later, playing the victim. Who doesn't even spend a birthday with a mate? Turns out that isn't a problem now, she's alone.

shakey said...

Hey Page 6 here's a reason why Angie wasn't with him - they have 6 fucking kids.

Who cares.

mooshki said...

I figured it out - she was obviously toasted when she said that. Can't you just picture it? "That's just not coollll duuuuuude..."

jax said...

why does the man never get blamed? do you want a pat answer or the truth? the truth would be because women know that men are men and some women know how to entice even the most unavailable men and get off on it. there are exceptions to every rule but i think a lot of unsatisfied or adulturous men don't have a chance. as women we believe another woman 'should know better' and are that much more pissed when done wrong by another female. doesn't make it right but...IMO of course.

Brenda22 said...

I agree with Jax. Angelina has a reputation for doing this...stealing other people's husbands. Just ask Kelly Lynch (by the way I saw her Saturday night at a restaurant in LA and she looked amazing in person. Tall, toned, just beautiful).
I agree that it's uncool to steal a woman's husband and then gloat about it 4 years later.

stiffkittens said...

Aniston brought it on herself as far as im concerned.
What kind of woman gives their partner that is so desperate for kids a fake positive pregnancy test as a 'gag' birthday gift?
She sprouted on and on about wanting kids, lying about giving up smoking because 'they were trying' etc - and yet no babies. How odd.

If she was so desperate to have children like she has made out to be the last decade, she would have at least one by now (she's 40 - not the greatest age to still be 'waiting til the time is right'). Its obvious she chose her body instead of motherhood long ago (and there is nothing wrong with that - im on that bandwagon myself), so why was she the victim when she led Pitt along for years so that she could be considered an A lister (remember the blind about the Actress that took male hormone pills to stay thin, but it caused her to have fertility issues/miscarriages)?
That marriage was over before Pitt met Jolie. Not happily married man - or woman - strays, no matter what talented hussy is thrown at them.

Its rumoured that the only reason Aniston and Pitt married is because she lied about being pregnant and then 'miscarried' after the wedding. I dont really buy that, but i wouldnt put it past a famewhore like her.
For the record, im not a brangiloonie (or however thats meant to be spelt), i just dont make a habit of RSVPing to pity parties (and lets face it, Aniston's life has turned into one).

This woman seems determined to milk it for all its worth though. I wish tabloids put a barring system in force like enty does when it comes to people like this.

lutefisk said...

This is an old story--they all need to move on.
And I have to agree that their marriage couldn't have been all that great if Brad left her.
Didn't Paul Newman say why have hamburger when he had steak at home?
(or something similar?)

audrey said...

First off--no one--no matter how sexy or seductive can just walk in and steal your husband. There has to be some interest from him for anything to happen.
Secondly--falling in love and actually acting on those feelings are two very different things.
Thirdly--how great could the Anitson/Pitt marriage have been if Jen, while on stage receiving an Emmy--remembers to thank every single person she ever met, including the person who bleaches her mustache, but forgets to include her husband. Now I might be all kinds of silly, but I'm thinking if you can't remember the man you share your life with is a simple thank you speech and have to have Mary Hart remind you to do so, maybe there is something wrong in that marriage.

Jenny S said...

I agree with Jen, the revealing of details has been "uncool." Angelina had a reputation for hooking up with attached men. Ask Laura Dern how cool she finds Angie.
The reason Jen has to comment on this stuff is because people keep asking her. If she doesn't answer, she's damned. If she does, people gloat over how she isn't over it. When she finally gets married and has a kid, people will still say she is trying to show Brad and Ang up. She can't win.
Now, the gossip I heard about Jen and Brad was that he wasn't quite over Gwyneth when he met Jen and rushed into marriage on the rebound. There was an article in Vanity Fair about a year before the news broke up their splitting up, Brad was pretty blase about their marriage, something to the effect of, "We'll just walk away when it's time." Do I blame Brad? Yeah, I blame him for being inconsiderate with the W photo shoot. I won't watch movies with him or Angelina.
Let's hope this story can just die and everyone can move on - including us.

Brenda22 said...

That's who I meant....Laura Dern. Yes, I agree that if a person is in a wonderful marriage, then there is almost no chance they'll cheat, but still...women who thrive on taking men just for sport are evil.

So what do we say about Jen when Angie dumps Brad?

Unknown said...

Shame on you for jumping on this popular bash Aniston bandwagon. The fact is that Aniston has shown incredible restraint over the years in NOT bashing either Brad or Angelina. She said it was 'uncool' of Angie to discuss falling in love with Brad while he was married to Jennifer. It was unnecessary for Angie to rub salt into Aniston's wound and I think the whole "Jenny can't get over Brad" thing is made up by the media, and not at all her doing. SHE has moved on. Now can WE???

Kelli said...

Brad & JA both would say these strange things in interviews while they were married, like "I don't believe people are meant to be together forever" or "I think you're always searching for your soulmate" or "I don't believe there is just one person meant for you out there"..it was just weird..if he ever said something like that about AJ he'd probably have to deal with her wrath.

kanonymous said...

"This is a man who said all the time that he wanted a family and she was focused on her career. nothing wrong with that, they just wanted different things and in the end he found someone who wanted the same things as him."

Aniston never said she didn't want a family or that she was focused on her career. It drove me crazy then and it does now that everyone thinks they broke up because he wanted children and she wanted to wait! She NEVER said that. Did it ever occur to any of you that she didn't want children with him at that time because their marriage wasn't doing well?

kanonymous said...

"It would be cool if Aniston asked reporters to quit talking about it and move on. (it doesnt appear she wants that, though - rather have the attention)"

I really doubt that is going to stop them. And I don't think she likes them asking those questions--I mean, how often has she discussed this stuff in the four years since her break up?

kanonymous said...

"She wanted a career and he wanted a family..I don't think she thought she could take time off to have one.."

Where do people come up with this stuff? Who knows whether Aniston wanted kids with him or why she didn't have any. That's a private matter that NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAS EVER DISCUSSED. So stop making up "facts".

kanonymous said...

"Angelina has a reputation for doing this...stealing other people's husbands."

She has said before she would never steal a woman's husband because she does not approve of it, since her father broke up their home when he cheated on her mother. However, you don't have to have sex with someone to steal them from their partner. Also, she stole Billy Bob Thornton from his girlfriend. They weren't married, but that's pretty close.

kanonymous said...

"She sprouted on and on about wanting kids, lying about giving up smoking because 'they were trying' etc - and yet no babies. How odd.
If she was so desperate to have children like she has made out to be the last decade, she would have at least one by now (she's 40 - not the greatest age to still be 'waiting til the time is right')."

Umm . . . . not all women just get pregnant. It's not always that easy. In fact, not sure if you know this or not, but some women can NEVER get pregnant!

kanonymous said...

"And I have to agree that their marriage couldn't have been all that great if Brad left her."

The story they put out is that they separated and then got together several times to discuss their marriage, then mutually decided it was over. So it's not really fair to say Brad left her because we don't know that for sure.

kanonymous said...

"Jennifer didn't seem to blame Brad for his role and it seems like no one ever blames the guy. We always make Angelina the bad person here, but Brad Pitt is the one who accepted the offer.

Aniston HAS said stuff about Brad in the past. I remember one interview where she called him insensitive, which is pretty much what she said about Jolie in this interview. This is the first time she has said anything about Jolie, but she has spoken out about Brad several times in the past.

Huvane is that you?

Could you use a multiple-paragraphed post next time? My email account feels violated.

kanonymous said...

Check out this quote from Jennifer Aniston in People magazine from 2005:

"[Aniston] also passionately disputes the much-repeated rumor that an uninterest in having children contributed to the couple's rift. 'A man divorcing would never be accused of choosing career over children,' she says. 'That really pissed me off. I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children. I did and I do and I will!'"

Alice D Millionaire said...

I don’t think marijuana should have to bear the brunt of Anniston’s lack of personality

Bad Momma said...

The alleged quote posted on the cover of Vogue was taken waaaay out of context.

I am glad to see a good portion of reader comments recognizes that fact. I saw this mentioned in the Huffington Post and was pissed off when I read the article.

I wish the tabloid press would quit looking to make a fight where there is none. Must have been a slow news day.
