Brad Pitt Mad That Jennifer Aniston Called the Woman Who Ruined Her Marriage "Uncool"
Oh, holy moses.
Remember this story? And how magazines like US and People thought it was so shocking for Jennifer Aniston to say that it was "uncool" how Angelia Jolie slithered her little legs around Aniston's then-husband Brad Pitt? (Uncool? I would have said a lot worse, believe you me. And there would have been SLAPPING.)
Now Pitt, motivated either by newly-found and slightly ironic chivalry, or by Angelina's pouty, pillow lips, is said to be angry that Aniston responded as such in a question asked of her by Vogue.
Pitt reportedly called Aniston to express his disdain, you know, because saying someone is "uncool" for banging your husband is exponentially worse than actually banging a married man or cheating on your wife. I love these celebrity priorities. They're propelled by the same reasoning that hillbillies use when weighing the option of whether or not to fornicate with their first cousin.
Yes, Brangelina are do-gooders. Now. Maybe they're so invested in rebuilding homes in Katrina-stricken NOLA because of the home they originally wrecked when starting their relationship.
Pitt and Jolie were "thrown" by Aniston's remark? They jab her and say that they thought she had "moved on?" How is answering one measly question posed by a reporter (and then blown out of proportion) idicative of her ot have moved on? She has every right to be honest with how she feels, just as Jolie is, whispering sound bites in her brother's ear for him to repeat to the press (as in the case with the over-hyped Jolie-Aniston showdown). Why is being steamed about someone ruining your marriage worse than someone ACTUALLY RUINING YOUR MARRIAGE?
(And yes, it takes to to tango. But why is it always a cat fight? Why do the just-as-guilty men get off so scott free?)
Did Pitt not think to tell Jolie: "Hey, why did you talk about falling in love on the set? That wasn't what you told Diane Sawyer way back when, or all the magazines. Stick with the script!" If the rumors are true, his first reaction is to ring up his ex-wife whom he publicly humiliated? Don't forget the swanky magazine spread that Pitt and Jolie shot prior to the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" as his divorce proceeded. Or their lack of consideration for the third party when they yap incessantly about their family life: "OHMYGAWD we have tons of children! We LOOOOVE children! We love having the sex to get the kids! Lots of it! We are the happiest family that has ever lived!"
Pitt may want to reign in his baby momma and account for his own mistakes before saying a cross word to the woman he publicly betrayed.

So true. I watched a clip of Aniston's interview on this subject on Oprah, as well, and she was (once again) very classy about the whole thing. She declined to delve into it any further, basically saying "This was years ago. I have moved on. I was just answering a question honestly. I didn't expect it to be on the cover." I don't know how anyone, ESPECIALLY her cheating ex, can take issue with that. At some point you have to get tired of dodging the questions and just tell it like it is. It seems to me that her ability to be honest about it without being catty is evidence of the fact that she is over it. Sad that the other two thirds of this issue can't just shrug their shoulders and go "Yeah. We deserved that. Glad we're all big enough to admit the truth now."

Dana - you couldn't have put it better.
Bad Brad is just making things worse - and who knows maybe he was egged on to protect his baby mama.. but I think the best thing he could have done was just (and this is ironic coming from me) KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT and be happy Jennifer didn't drag him through the mud worse (mentioning the things he may have allegedly had to do as a pool boy to directors on his way up the career ladder).

Do any of them any credibility? Angelina once married , voluntarily, while sober, Billy Bob Thornton(!). Jennifer Aniston is a mediocre, boring actress who has never ever said anything interesting in any interview or talk show. And the whole pity party thing is just too long, too boring, too pathetic. Brad Pitt is a doucebag, with lots of money and better clothes. They should just shut the fuck up already.

First of all, the article isn't even ABOUT Brangelina. It's an aside. Second, Angie started, and Brad should send Jen a large check as a "thank-you" for leaving it at "uncool". My response would have been more, "That bitch needs to realize that other people were hurt by her actions and shut the hell up. Also? Is she going to teach her children that it's only okay to steal if it's someone else's spouse?"

You know what else isn't cool? Perpetuating stupid stereotypes when there's absolutely no reason to do so. I mean, it's not cool even when there *is* a reason, but still. As someone who comes from "hillbilly" stock and doesn't have any first-cousin-produced relatives, I'm kind of tired of that one. It wasn't relevant to the story and certainly didn't contribute.

Aniston reacts to the words/actions of her ex's with admirable composure; after recent events i'm gonna give her a lot more benefit of the doubt

Did I miss the part where Angelina said she slept with Brad back then? Am I the only one so old school as to think "falling in love" does not equal "having the sex"?
I'm honestly curious if it's come out that they were actually together during that time. What I read from Angelina's comments was that they became close during that time and realized there was probably more there than they meant for there to be, then acted on it after Brad and Jen's marriage ended.
I'm not defending them. All around? Not a great thing to do. I'm one of the few, I think, who never felt the need to "pick a team" in all of this nonsense. I can think Jennifer Aniston is classy girl who was ultimately wronged while also not thinking that Angelina is a man-stealing hobag.

And I just want to say, I'm not condoning an emotional affair. I'm not condoning any formation of any sort of relationship beyond purely platonic while still married to someone who has no idea what's going on. I just don't think Angelina set out to steal someone else's man, and I don't think Brad set out to stray from Jen. People just screw up sometimes, and it sucks, and it extra sucks when it's in the public sphere. It doesn't make anyone right or wrong, it just makes them human.
I realize in writing this that I probably sound like a no-good-dirty-cheater who wants to defend my type, but I assure you that's not the case. I just tend to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, maybe more than I should.

Ha ha ha that hillbilly crack made me giggle.

I thought the "uncool" remark was specific to Angelina's statement that she wanted their kids to watch "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" someday to see the movie where their parents fell in love. That is uncool since their dad was married to another woman at the time. Sex or no sex, that isn't something to model to your kids.

Memo to Mr. Pitt
Subject: Things not to to while married.
1>While married to woman A do not remove pants in front of woman B
2>While married to woman A do not shag woman B
3>While married to woman A do not get into an emotional affair with woman B
4>Once you've left and divorced woman A and gone into a permanent shagadelic state with woman B, stop shoving your 'perfect' relationship in everyone's face. This reflects badly on you, and only throws salt in the wounds of woman A.
End of memo~
Coinsidentally, you know this senerio will not happen with Angelina right? 'Cause she'll cut his balls off....just sayin'.

NOBODY STOLEN BRAD FROM JEN!!Nothing was stolen from Jen, because Brad walked away from her long before he met Angelina. I wished Jen admitted to that. If Brad wanted to go back to Jen, he'll just fool around with Angelina or any woman, then go back to Jen and try to fix their marital problems, but that wasn't the case here, Brad was ready to move on with his life with OUT Jen and meeting Angelina was a blessing for him because he found his woman for life without looking.

Brad get laid! Oh no, you already had done so in a most inappropriate time. And while we're at the subject of spawning injustice, don't you think you ought to do that with A-whore once in a while? Or is that too scary for you? Frankly, I'm not waiting to hear what she thinks of anything. I hear a lot, see little happening. A lot of celebrities do way more but only draw attention when it necessary. Practice still preaches, and your b*tch does a poor job of it. Overexposing children for own purposes overshadows everything, including being a serial husband stealer. You must be blinded and Jennifer should and, I can only imagine, she's glad she is rid of you. New-found chivalry, my *ss. I know that story from my ex, trying to make the former spouse look bad and acknowledging the valuables she brought you.
Jen, you are a classy lady. I don't believe one thing about you not being over Pitt(hole), I do believe past hunts you still.

THE WAY I SEE IT...
Although fantastically wealthy, stunningly gorgeous, and internationally recognized, they are but mere mortals.
We have all been through break ups, and they are rarely looked back upon as particularly "high points" in our life. It would be a rather painful blow for any woman to know that his side of the bed had barely had time to cool before hopping into another woman's bed. Heartbreaks are hard....Now imagine going through that in front of a 24H /7D audience of millions!?
Well, if the worst she has spat out in the what? 3 years? 4 years? is that Angelina is "uncool" for remarks she made, I would say the "Beau" and the "HO" got off (no pun intended) pretty easy.
Oh...wait a minute...Shortly after the whole drama surfaced, didn't Jen make some comment regarding how Brad seemed to be "missing a sensitivity chip"? Wow, that Jen is just pure evil huh!

Sounds like Brad is the douche.

Angelina does not have the right to insult Jennifer. Jennifer didn't do anything to her. She answered a question graciously. Her answer let Brad and Angelina off very easily. How thin-skinned and self-aggrandizing are B & J (I guess they really did belong together) that they would respond negatively? They cheated, it was uncool. Thank her for saying so little. This makes them doubly uncool. Jen wins twice. The first win was when he left. Some day she may even know it.

Plus, I always get a kick out of how the new wife acts as if the old wife did something wrong, as though it was, in this case Jennifer, that did something to Angelina. Well, these people do put themselves on this planet for our entertainment. Certainly they are fun to laugh at and watch.
