How Jen found out
Posted Jan 12th 2006 10:01PM by Anna Johns
Filed under: Talent

Remember yesterday's big news that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with Brad Pitt's baby? We all found out from People
magazine (and every other news organization in the nation). It turns out, that's how Jennifer Aniston found out, too.
Ouch.
Jen's people released statements today, saying that Brad is an insensitive jerk and
reports in the media that Brad was nice enough to call Jen ahead of time were "made-up lies." By the way, the
part about Brad being an insensitive jerk is inferred.

Despite any rotten thing Brad has done to her, why would he be obligated to tell his ex-wife that he just impregnated his new love? That's not even something worth lying about in a popular magazine.

let's see, first she goes on 50 million talk shows (some multiple times) to talk about how much she doesn't want to talk about her break up. now we get to hear how upset she is she didn't get a phone call regarding her ex husband and his new love. does it get any more pathetic?
i think sprint needs to jump on this. they need to counter the chick in the Nokia commercial with a commercial featuring Jen and how she's deleted Brad and his agent's phone numbers off HER phone. then she can plug the video features to show how she now watches rerun clips of Friends to see a time when people actually watched her. the coup de grace can be her sending phone pics to angelina showing how much better off Jen is now.

I think because Brad, Jen and Angelina have been in the news so much lately for their relationship issues, that a simple phone call to Jen about the bombshell that's about to hit the media would've been in order.

Awww boo-hoo poor Jen. She must be soooo miserable.
Seriously, people should stop talking about these three people. Who cares that Jen got angry at Brad and that Brad and Jolie are having a child?

It's probably just her publicists who are pissed they didn't get advanced notice. Who the hell calls their ex to tell them anything.

Did Jen call Brad and tell him she was going to sleep with Vince? I don't think so.

It is unncessary for Brad Pitt to inform his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, that he now has a child on the way.
Conversely, if Jennier Aniston was pregnant with another man after her divorce, then it would not be any of Brad Pitt's concern either.
Since when do ex-wives and ex-husbands owe their former spouses any further details about their lives? Once you're divorced, then you're no longer obligated to your former wife/husband; unless, of course you have child(ren) together, but that's an altogether different scenario and does not apply here.

I admire Jen as a person, but this PR anti-Pit is not a positive.
SUre Pit and Co are somewhainsensitive, but is this news or anything unexpected? Nope.
p.s. It's so easy to give advice to other people

Ok, after putting 2 more seconds of thought into this, I've changed my mind. In a normal circumstance, you wouldn't expect someone to go to any great lengths to make sure their ex-wife (or ex-husband) was the first to know something like this. But, in a situation like this, where celebrities are hounded by the press at every opportunity, a little advanced warning would be a nice courtesy.

After the public way Brad betrayed Jennifer, why would anyone expect him to be considerate enough to let her know ahead of time about Angelina's pregnancy? No, I don't think that he was under any obligation to do so since they are divorced, but since this is such a public affair, it would have been the polite thing to do.

Maybe this is just me, but I'm looking at that GQ cover and thinking - Jen doesn't need to do a topless magazine cover to help her career. If she wants to be taken seriously as an actress she needs to not be showing her naked self on newsstands.
And look at her face in that photo - doesn't she seem to be thinking, "Why the hell am I doing this photo shoot? I'm gonna kill my publicist for talking me into this...".

Correct me if I am wrong, did she or did she not say she has moved on with her life??????? It seems to me since the breakup she is and has used every opportunity to stay in the media (career enhancement), the remark from her camp is just another example of keeping her in the lime light.
If you notice Brad or Angelina has not attacked her the way she has been attacking them. So tell me who is secure and who is unsecure?
Please get over it an move on Jen.....

C'mon, I'm sick of poor Jen stories. We don't know if he cheated on her before their marriage was over or not, and he did try to keep the new relationship out of the press (and still hasn't gone on record about the divorce, leaving Jen lots of room to say whatever she wants). It's not like they took out a billboard to announce that Jolie was pregnant. Sure, it would have been nice if he'd called her and told her, but I'm frankly more irritated that her flaks put out a statement that he didn't say anything. It's time for Jen's public image to evolve from wronged ex-wife.
