Aniston Spills on Oprah
As reported yesterday afternoon, Jennifer Aniston told Oprah that she hasn’t broken up with Vince Vaughn. People Magazine is now reporting the same things this morning, adding:
- Aniston rolled her eyes when asked about Vaughn
- Aniston wore a black tiered skirt and tank top
- Aniston showed Room 10, the short film she co-directed as part of Glamour magazine’s “Reel Moments” series
- Room 10 is about a nurse who gains perspective on her marital problems while caring for a dying patient
- Audience members said: “(The film) said that relationships aren’t luck, they’re hard work, and I think that was really meaningful to people – Jen got a little teary-eyed when she was talking about it, too. It was personally meaningful to her.
- Oprah and Jen ate dinner at French and Asian restaurant Japonais before the Tuesday taping (Aniston and Vaughn ate there frequently while filming The Break-Up in summer 2005
Can’t wait for this episode to air! Pictures include Aniston leaving her Chicago hotel this past Tuesday. More pictures in the gallery…

MegFL, good stuff too.
Mentioning Jane Pitt made me think about something else. This is just common sense to me. And I don’t care who disagrees with my assessment. It’s only an opinion. It’s not etched in stone.
If anyone has the right to HATE Jennifer Aniston, it would be Brad Pitt’s mother. You know how mothers are about their good-looking sons. First of all, their sons can do no wrong and these mothers are usually EXTREMELY proud of them, and sometimes no woman is good enough for their son.
Brad Pitt seems to have a close-knit family. For Jennifer Aniston to lead their “pride and joy” on some kind of insincere, sneaky wild-goose-chase by making him believe she would have his baby and then bail on him and not have kids for him….
hmm…
I’m telling you, the mothers I know like this would be blasting Aniston to Kingdom Come! They would be absolutely furious! How DARE she do something like that to THEIR son? And if he then ran into the arms of a beautiful woman who embodied everything they wanted, they would be ECSTATIC. You know they would.
I’m not saying the Pitts aren’t happy that Brad is finally a father, but I have seen nothing, absolutely NOTHING (of course, according to the media) that leads me to believe they are jumping for joy. Have you? You almost wouldn’t believe that they are new grandparents.
All indications point to the obvious: Jennifer Aniston is quality, and they love her. She MUST have a likeable, pleasant spirit. Brad’s family doesn’t appear to be a bunch of dirtbags. His parents look likr classy, long-married people who most likely have a lot of insight.
Brad Pitt married Jennifer Aniston in the first place because she “fit” right in with his clan. I believe Jane Pitt was very much like the mother Aniston never had. That’s what I think. I think it was an especially close relationship. And that in itself is rare because usually the couple are closer to the wife’s/girlfriend’s side of the family.
The way that Brad Pitt and Angelina seem to be closer to Angelina’s mother and Angelina’s people is the more typical situation.
Oh Brother - but what you forget…this was ALL belfore Angelina got pregnant.
Remember, Jane Pitt met Jen in Aug then Brad and Angelina told his family about the pregnancy in the fall/winter - they flew into Missiouri for a day and a half and spent it at the parents place - with the kids. The parent visited the Jolie-Pitts in Dec for his birthday and even went to Namibia to see their granddaughter in June and again, visited the Jolie-Pitt this past labour day before he and Angelina flew away to India…
That is 4-5 visits from Jane Pitt all after the pregnancy was announced and the baby born.
Since then we have not seen Jane with Jennifer - who by the way rarely set foot on Missouri land throughout the marriage.
I believe that once Jane saw the baby and saw how happy her son is…how different..how focused in life as opposed to how aimless, directionless and empty he was while married to Jane - she knew whom to thank - Angelina Jolie. And all bets with Jennifer were over.

At the end of the game, all that mother want for her son is
1.) happiness/contentment - there is no doubt that of the two, Brad and not Jennifer got that now. Why…because he moved on long time ago and all thta matters to him nowadays are his growing family. Note: he hasnt said anything about his marriage to Jennifer to date nor mentioned her name. He is living in the moment. Jen on the other hand is still alluding to it in one form or another - with Oprah while talking aobut others things…as usual.
2.) kids - he got them and he is not slowing down. Most importantly, these are what he wants. Just like his mother.
Brad is close to Angelina mother because this is the kind of man that she wanted for her daughter and the kind that she could have had when she was married to Jon Vouight - a family man.
311 - Just for the record, Jon Voigt was not a family man, but a known womanizer for many, many years in Hollywood. That doesn’t mean, however, that he has no right to see his biological grand daughter.
I’m not saying the Pitts aren’t happy that Brad is finally a father, but I have seen nothing, absolutely NOTHING (of course, according to the media) that leads me to believe they are jumping for joy. Have you? You almost wouldn’t believe that they are new grandparents.
Oh Brother I was with you up until that comment. Maybe his parents stay out of the media. I didn’t hear anything about them with Aniston or Paltrow or any other woman. I don’t think they are the types to get involved in this media circus. They keep family, family and leave the rest alone, this doesn’t mean they are happy to be grandparents. I kind of think this is your wishful thinking on the part of you being an Aniston fan hoping that Jane Pitt loved Aniston more which I don’t think is true. I don’t know how Jane Pitt sees or saw any of Brad Pitt’s women, she’s never spoken about it and probably never will.
Not exactly true, I don’t think. Again, I am giving an opinion. That’s all I can do, just like you.
There has been enough written about how much Jane Pitt adored Aniston. Will you deny that they are still friends? I have seen pictures of the family together, Jane having lunch or whatever with Aniston after the end of the marriage…. And there is a HUGE difference…
Aniston was Brad’s wife — the other women were not.
In the latest US weekly, there is an article about why Jennifer “can’t find love.” The article goes on to give 5 reasons why. Supposedly, some of Jennifer’s “pals” gave quotes to US Weekly.
Well, after you read the statements, how in the world can these people (if they really even exist) say they are Aniston’s friends or pals or whatever? This is the junk I am talking about. I mean, people calling her clingy and saying she’s jealous of Brad and that she has control issues. Come on…. that is NOT a friend. Not a true friend. It could be someone in Hollywood who doesn’t like her who is giving the quotes. Or, it could be nobody at all… just made up trash. In any case, I don’t believe it. There may be an element of truth somewhere in the article, but it just reeks of slander.
I’m sorry, I forgot to read all the comments above.
You know what though (here we go with the gossip again), some of those “visits” between the Pitts and Brad & Angelina supposedly did not go very well. I don’t keep up with all the little details of their lives, but I do remember reading all kinds of little tidbits about Brad’s mom and Jolie clashing. There was something about Jolie not letting the baby wear an outfit and Brad’s parents returning home early from Africa. I heard they wanted Brad in the states and resent Jolie for going “over there” and giving birth…
One can never be sure about that whole situation, and I’m not sure about how often or if ever Aniston still sees Brad’s folks.
If Aniston has stopped contact with Brad’s family, that is simply the right thing to do. Brad has children with Jolie and the divorce is final. It’s time to back away.
#311, I think Brad could be close to just about anyone. He’s a charming guy who seems to love being around people, not just Angelina Jolie’s mother.
I’m not going to say any of you are wrong, because how do I know? Do I THINK you are wrong? Yes, I do. That’s why we have differing opinions on this whole subject in the first place.
Some of the things I’ve read here about Pitt and Jolie are sound almost magical. Yet, I don’t think I have seen one quote from Pitt or Jolie staying how much they love and adore each other. Yes, “other” people say they do, but they are both really shy about expressing things now. I saw once when Brad called Jolie “a firecracker.” This was when he was still hot on her trail. And I heard her say something about him being “solid” or something like that, I think referring to how dependable he was. But now that the two have joined and have started making babies, they’ve become really mum. And, they have basically put off marrying, which I do not understand. When things are so perfect and YOU KNOW that it’s right and you’ve found “the one,” why be so shy about taking the plunge again? Brad has only married once. For Jolie, the third time could be the charm.
Of course, maybe they will suprise everyone and jump up and wed, but their hesitancy at this time seems to be a little daunting.
I have a question for you. I don’t know the answer. Is it official yet? Is Brad officially the father of Maddox and Zahara? If so, great. If not, why does it take so long?
Oh Brother - until you take off your “Jennifer blinder” you won’t see what has been going on in Brads life since that GREAT DAY - Oct 2, 2005 - his divorce days.
Methinks you are stuck in a rut…just like Jennifer…the rut is everything prior to Oct 2, 2005.
This is why you cannot see things that we fans of Brad and Angelina see.
FYI - spend some time reading all Brad Pitt interviews post divorce - start with the Esquire Interview then move on to the NBC(the 2 NOLA interviews) and the recent Babel presscall - you will see him talking about the kids are his. That he can’t imagine life without them. That they are his as though they are naturally his.
Brad and Angelina will not let us in on anything else regarding their kids - not after you and many twist their words and mock them.
Beside, for the sake of kids involved, it is well known that adoptions papers are private. We shall never learn if they are completed or not.
lula29 - thanks I meant Brad as a family man and yes, I am aware of the fact that Jon Voight is not a family man.
Whether or not he deserve seeing his daughter is a non- issue here because he has been out of Jolie’s life for the last 4 years. It is time for him to address that sticky issue that led her to stop talking to him before trying to get to see Shiloh.
Until he deals with that part, he can’t expect to walk into her life now and see the daughter.
Methinks, there isa bigger mess still between him and Angelina that he needs to address with her first. Then we are talking shiloh.
Problem is, I never saw him talking about *that issue* or whatever it is, and trust me, it is BIG given the fact it has been going on for 4 years…after she forgave him for the past problems with her mother…4 yrs ago.
I suppose everyone would believe Brad and Angelina’s love for each other more if he went on Oprah jumping on the couch, and she went on Oprah and waxed tearfully about how in love they are. Not their style, They won’t marry just to convince people they love each other, or because they have children. They live their love every day.
But this messageboard is not about them anyway.
Why does Jennifer correct tabloid stories like whether she’s engaged, going out with or broken up with VV and he says nothing? Why does she have her friends go on the radio and announce they’re still together? Why DOESN’T she correct reports that Brad wants her back, or that he’s e-mailing her now that she’s supposedly single?
Kearnie what is so special about Brad’s life after his divorce? What is so great besides him becoming a father? That’s like the only thing. He wasn’t even in the States for most of the year it seemed. He was a sad-looking nomad. Yes, Pitt did not look happy in France, I don’t care how much you fans plead for him. What a difference now that he came back. Looks like he’s actually getting some rest.
Kearnie, I’m not a huge Brad Pitt fan, nor do I want to be. I think he’s a nice ole chap, and I loved him in “Troy,” but I don’t want to read through ALL of his boring interviews.
So, who to trust? I say, go with your gut. My gut tells me (and I have been pretty accurate in my lifetime, thank you) that if it comes between Aniston and Pitt, I’m going with Aniston. I think she’s a genuinely nice lady and good person who just happened to gain a lot of enemies because she married a man named Brad Pitt. I have always thought Brad is nice enough, but I think he’s a bit of an opportunist. And he was VERY aware of himself before he started showing his age.
My gut tells me that the deeper issues here are that before Angelina and before any of this big ado, Aniston was already disliked my many (especially women) who got mad when Pitt said “I do” to her. Maybe they didn’t think she was good enough for Brad. Then when the marriage fell apart, the claws that had been stuck in their sheaths came out. We women are so catty.
I’m no Kearnie, but I’m not completely in the dark about the Pittster. I’ve basically heard what Brad said about those kids. Personally, I don’t even believe all his talk. Kids are a wonderful blessing, but going from none to 3! I don’t care how many nannies you have, you have to instill your children with your values. Kids are work! Brad and Angelina are certainly not going to have that “honeymoon period” any time soon.
Anyhow #318, you so eloquently swerved around answering the simple question. Why wouldn’t Brad Pitt shout it from the rooftops that the adoption is legal? What’s so personal about that? What could be twisted by making a simple statement? It makes me believe that the adoption must not be legalized yet.
Hey, if someone knows anything about the process, please explain to me why it would take so long for Brad Pitt to become the legal father of Zahara and Maddox. I honestly just want to know.
#320, your first paragraph? Give me a break.
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be mean, but that first paragraph is typical of the flowery, Zen-like stuff that somes from Brad and Angelina fans.
Regarding the rest of the post in #320, I don’t know why Aniston is doing these things. I said before, “What if she is playing a joke on the public now?” If she is, it is certainly working. Everyone is getting so worked up, saying, “She said this, but she lied about that. Then her friend said this, but she said this.” She’s got people going nuts!
By the way, when I read the US Weekly article, I discovered who Huvane is. Aniston’s publicist.
Oh, really? Zen? six words out of the whole paragraph explaining how some people live for each other, not for other people’s expectations, Zen?
And the 2nd paragraph? More Zen?
why doesn’t she try getting some publicity for her career, or has she just decided that playing footsie with the press is going to be her career? This is exactly why she ticks me off. I’ve known all along she was all hype. I wasn’t asleep during the “Decade of Friends”. her interviews during her engagement, the coyness while she was living with brad. Showing her ring before her marriage, then denying the engagement. And all the phony happy marriage bull her husband wasn’t as happy. Now vince the same sh^t over and over. She’s a phony, a fraud, and somebody that keeps up this kind of behavior for 10 years is just duplicitous. She must be afraid that if she doesn’t play these little games, and avoids making statements she’ll become invisible.
MMz, maybe Zen is the wrong word, but you get the idea. Especially, “They live their love every day.” I mean, come one…
MMz, the thing is that this is all about Aniston’s personal relationships. I mean, she’s not the president. If this is how she chooses to conduct her personal life, then hey. Really, why do stars owe us things? Why do they have to let us in on what goes on behind closed doors? I care mostly that she’s decent. If a person is basically decent, then you know that they are not some evil force.
Aniston is not the devil. I think you are reading too much into her. You know, my family once moved and there was this neighbor that I saw and immediately got a bad vibe. There was something about her. She soon came over and got to know my mom, and I warned my mom, but my mom couldn’t see it at all for years. Slowly though, this lady turned out to be the worst of the worst. She was jealous, conniving, a busy-body– the works.
I don’t get that feeling about Aniston. I just don’t. She may make some mistakes, but I believe she’s good.
That’s all. I’m getting ready to see Aniston on Oprah. I hope a lot of the audience are fans and won’t be making rude faces at her.
MMz you have also shown to me that you NEVER liked this woman. You said you knew she was hype all along. I’ll bet you were madly in love with Brad too.
Well, there is nothing more that I can say to you then. You’re not in the middle. You strongly dislike her. There is no amount of debating that will get you to even mildly see things another way.
I watched Jennifer Aniston on Oprah today and thought she looked great in that dress. Sorry, but she’s cute in her own special way. I guess people don’t like the way she acts, but she has this somewhat nervous energy that I find endearing. You can plainly see that she has an energetic personality, even though she was just sitting and talking. I liked the topic of the show. I just don’t think I would be able to sit in front of an audience on national TV. You know that in that crowd there were are those people who cannot stand her. It must be difficult, but she handled it like a champ.
Hi! Very nice site! Thanks you very much! FKD8Yb35OmAXC

I give Brad credit for being honest about his feelings. Most guys would have said “see ya” if you reneged on a promise of having children.
Aniston is pushing forty and, I’m sorry, when was she going to do this? Also, she just isn’t Big Screen material. She’s funny on tv (with great writers) but her movies just aren’t that good. I’m sure she’s sweet and all that but for someone who claims she doesn’t want to be a “victim”, is sure acting like one. They both came out w/mutual statement about remaining friends or some BS.
So, keep making Jolie & Pitt the villians. But, I find Brad & Angelina more candid about their lives & family. I read that you’re “not into saving the world”. That’s a shame. The world could use people of wealth and fame to speak for those who cannot.
