Battle Of The Weddings
Remember when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were competing to see who could get married first? Instead, Jessica got pregnant first so that round was considered a draw. Well, that was like the one bite appetizer to get everyone ready for the contest of the century. Who will get married first between Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie & Jennifer Aniston/Justin Theroux. Oh, you know there is some kind of competition. Who will sell the photos for the most money? Who can get the most covers. I bet there is a chart that each side has and have begun checking things off. Angelina is in the early lead simply because she has a ring and people have already made knockoffs and she got some covers. Jennifer needs to make a quick recovery so she probably needs a proposal made on live television and or some kind of $2M sparkler to really get noticed. If I was Jennifer I would think about some kind of pregnancy announcement or something similar because really she needs that to take this thing up another notch. Just leaking that she wants to get married in Greece is not really much for the wow factor.
Jennifer should have a quiet wedding with friends and family and ask them instead of gifts give the money to charity...not a circus...
ReplyDeleteI have never been a FANniston but the chick does have some nice legs, I'll give her that much.
ReplyDeleteI'll be the contrarian and suggest that the Brange knew Aniston was getting close to an engagement so they announced their engagement to suck the oxygen out of the room. I'm not buying the "year long ring design" because that ring is so ugly. Aniston hasn't announced an engagement, this is speculation if she does marry, I wouldn't be surprised if it's downplayed because she can't win now.
ReplyDeleteAs a PR chess game, the Brange made a power move to announce right as Aniston would logically have done after being with this guy for a year and working on a house together.
as much as I like The Jolie, this leg/dress thing was just hilarious and Jen definitely did it better.
ReplyDeleteI guess we have a summer of tabloid headlines to look forward to...
I don't get why Brad and Angelina are getting married NOW all the sudden or why the media insists on branding JA as a unhappy spinster who can't be happy unless she is married with kids.
ReplyDeleteAngelina's ring is fug. Angelina is gorgeous, but she has no style to speak of. Her last wedding was in rubber pants if I recall, so anything is an improvement. I'm pretty sure she will let Brad plan the wedding including the dress, since he thinks he has great taste.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jennifer gets a smaller, more elegant ring, and gets married quietly in Greece like they are reporting and leaves the circus for the Pitts. I'm not really her biggest fan but she got the short end of the stick in this deal and I'd love to see her move past it with dignity, finally.
Sarah I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates that ring. I didn't know it was possible for a diamond to look ugly but that ring has no sparkle and looks flat and plastic like plexi.
ReplyDeleteAngies definitely got the face...Jennifer definitely has the body. They both have great hair, though I think Ang's hair is thicker and has more body. Jen just has a great hair stylist. On an everyday basis, I think Jen dresses better...love her clothes, but when it comes to award ceremonies, Ang dresses better.
ReplyDeleteDoncha love the tabloid media! Do either of them give a damn who gets married first? Don't think so.
ReplyDeleteHas Jennifer said she's getting married?
ReplyDeleteI will now answer your recent Your Turn question regarding Team Aniston vs. Team Jolie:
ReplyDeleteAniston, by the sheer force of looking smokin' hot and healthy in a high-slitted black dress vs. the puny exposed white stick on the other one.
And I ditto everything Sarah said above.
ReplyDeleteJen's completely rocking that dress. THAT'S how it's done!
ReplyDeleteAnd to Jen, I HATE to quote Kanye...but we want pre-nup! We want pre-nup!
ReplyDeleteAniston's legs and body look better than Angie's legs&body
ReplyDeleteJustin is never going to marry Jen. He had a g/f for 14 years. He isn't the marrying kind. He isn't Jen rich, but he isn't Eddie Cibran have to marry my stalker poor either.
ReplyDelete@crila16, Angelina is losing her hair. At the Oscars, you could see how it was very strategically styled. Perhaps she could rectify this if she consumed some food.
ReplyDeleteI agree her ring is fug. A diamond that big should sparkle. I can't imagine what they did with that ring over the course of a year.
Did I miss the engagement announcement? It's the love triangle that I wish would just go away.
ReplyDeleteI like Aniston a lot, but see no appeal to Justin Theroux at all. Plus, isn't he a a cheater, too? Wasn't he living with a long, long-term girlfriend when he took up with Jennifer?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen AJ's ring up close yet.
ReplyDeleteI hope JA does NOT get engaged anytime soon. Especially to *that* guy.
I hope Aniston gets married in a super-duper secret ceremony and the news is "leaked" when the holy couple is married.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm petty.
I'm not sure if Jennifer Aniston is the marrying kind either, which is why they may work together. She doesn't want to have kids, and she already did the marriage thing once. Plenty of divorced women choose not to get married again. They just don't have anything to gain from it, especially an independently successful woman.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it, Angelina is the more insecure of the two (Jolie/Aniston).
>> Rose said... I don't get … why the media insists on branding JA as a unhappy spinster who can't be happy unless she is married with kids.
Because the tabloids see their primary audience as housewives, and their role to give them a fantasy outlet. So they need to take any independently successful woman and assume that she is missing something because she doesn't have a husband and kids. It validates their audience's decisions. And because society still expects a woman to get married and have kids, even though there's plenty of evidence that not everyone wants to or should be a mother/wife.
Amen Seachica. I just don't think Jen gives a shit what Ange and Brad do. I don't see a wedding happening quietly, in Greece or otherwise just to compete with them. I think she's far more secure that Angelina and probably wishes the gossip rags would let it go. Jeebus, there wasn't this much stink over Liz Taylor stealing Eddie Fisher.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand all the Angelina hate.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a woman who's been married and have children.
Sometimes, people fall out of love, or realize their values/goals/dreams don't match their partner's/spouses, or get divorced, or even fall in love with someone else WHILE still officially "with" someone. And, yes, not necessarily in that order.
Quit being so judgmental - i'm sure you're all not so perfect yourselves. Neither is Angelina, but she DOES try to use her star power for some very worthy causes.
I suggest finding something/someone else more worthy of expending your negative energy on...
I think Brad and Angie's engagement was to offset the bad PR about "the leg".....
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting if there is a wedding.
ReplyDeleteI say let's kill all the birds with one stone and watch the tabloid world blow-up with a double wedding. Woohoo.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing -- when she married Brad she refused to have any Greek elements in her wedding -- at the reception her father talked her into a quick Greek dance and may some plate-throwing or something, but she wasn't happy about it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I hear somebody speaking of wedding abroad, I kind of always wonder will it be considered legal wedding back in USA
ReplyDeleteHere's my take on it -- none of them give a shit about any of this. They are just leading their lives, and what happens with the exes has no bearing on anything they do or don't do. Seriously, it's been seven years (and six kids). Let it go. If, after seven years, you are in some kind of "race" with your ex, then you have some serious issues.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I guess I'm alone on this, but I actually really like AJ's ring. I am not a diamond solitaire kind of girl -- to me, that's the most boring, unimaginative ring style in the world -- and I think her ring is interesting and suits her.
Weezy
ReplyDeleteAnistons wedding to pitt was the most secretive thing in hollywood. So, HOW the hell do YOU, some random blogger on the internet, KNOW what she wanted/didnt want at her wedding? How do YOU know what her father did/didnt make her do? Pls, stop being delusional. Just stop it.
Imagine what would happen if AJ asked JA to be her maid of honor? Also, why am I just now realizing their initials are the same?
ReplyDelete@Beth...if she's losing her hair, it's probably a combo of the lack of food and nourishment and I'm sure the heroine also plays a role.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why JA would care. I think she "wins" the imaginary contest in a lot of ways. Exhibit A: her leg vs. wax chicken claw.
ReplyDeleteI think Jolie is the only one competing. Sadly, in her race against no one, she still comes out the loser.
ReplyDeleteOh I totally think both sides give a shit what the other side is doing and have spreadsheets like Enty suggests. For God's sake BOTH Jen and Ange still preempt each other if and when they can and aren't subtle about it in the least. The Brange is going to do something off-the-wall with the kids in the ceremony for huge covers to blow Jen out of the headlines, watch.
ReplyDeleteCount me among those who think Jen doesn't care at all. Pitt/Jolie probably doesn't care either, but its hard to tell. The only people who care to keep this 'competition' going are the ones who need website hits or magazine sales.
ReplyDeleteNeither sides gives a shit! This love triangle story is to sell mags, get ratings, and traffic on blog sites period.
ReplyDelete@Seachica
ReplyDeleteI agree. The tabloids paint Aniston as a sad spinster to make their minivan audience feel better about their life choices.
I see Aniston going the way of the Big O, keeping her dough and vacations.
Even though she might not care, I'd love for Jen to announce her surprise adoption on the same day as the Pitt/ Jolie wedding. I for one think AJ is a PR machine and is very strategic with every single move. JA not as much, but everyone plays the fame game.
ReplyDelete@Kassandra -
ReplyDeleteJolie is a deeply insecure husband stealer, which is why it's so easy to not like her.
Billy Bob? stole him from Laura Dern.
Brad? stole him from Jen.
lord knows how many others there were.
Um, to be fair, Billy Bob and Laura Dern weren't married. And I don't think it's possible to "steal" a man who doesn't want to be "stolen." I'm not making ANY apologies for tramps who move in on other women's men, though. They suck.
ReplyDeletei have made it my mission when the AJ haterade starts to be drunk to remind the loyal Rachel followers that she "stole" someone who was also in a relationship.
ReplyDeletewhy do people forget this fact? Is is a california barbie versus goth chick thing?
honestly i don't care for either of them, but if you are going to slight one... then slight them both for their actions. (perhaps it's an oldest child thing)
I agree that AngieJo is keeping up a lot of this crap. I was waiting at Walmart and read a bit of Andrew Morton's book about her. He paints her as manipulative and insecure, which I think most people have figured out.

ReplyDeleteIf I were Jennifer, I would have a very private quiet ceremony a week before Brad/Angie's big event. No time for Angie to tone her's down. Then she (Jennifer) can make some kind of statement like this
ReplyDelete"Justin and I wanted a quiet service. We didn't really feel the need for all the sparkles and fanfair. After all, I have been married before. This one is just for our families."
Or something to that effect, there is soooooo much that could be read into it
I love how Ange gets so much vitriol for sleeping with her leading man when it happens much much more than we read about.
ReplyDeleteJen does the same thing with Justin (who was with his woman for double that time) and no one blinks an eye lid or calls her names it's always poor Jen.
Why do I suspect this has been totally blown out of proportion?
ReplyDeletegosh..if any topic fuels more traffic or comments it's the aniston/pitt/jolie drama. But I can't help liking Aniston, she just seems so darn cute, a girl you could just sit and have a few drinks with and share great gossip, Jolie reminds me of the woman who wants to know your deepest secrets and once she has the goods, uses them against you.
ReplyDeleteAngelina goes home to freaking BRAD PITT. Did you see "Troy?? Jen goes home to a different guy every few months. Brad & Angie have 6 kids, including twins (they're kind of special). Inless Jen is pregnant with triplets, or identical twins; the baby thing has been done 6 times over in the other camp.
ReplyDeleteI was growing tired of this rivalry, but now I'm looking at it the same way I look at a Giants/Cowboys game; it's going to be an entertaining show.
pk8, Jennifer stole him from a non-famous person, so that's allowed.
