Wow! I feel so bad for Jennifer now

kealoha · Kate Spade

First photos where they're not on location filming. I honestly don't know what to make of it.

Collette · Chanel

I have the feeling his more in love with her kid then her.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

that makes me sad...

Amelie · Kenneth Cole

This doesn't make me sad at all.

It's really bothering me, for some reason, that everyone thinks Angelina is what broke Brad and Jennifer up. They have been having problems for a while, and there are a million things that can end a relationship. As a child of divorce, I know that there are many events/arguments/decisions that lead to a divorce.

Anyways, I guess this just bothers me because everyone ( not just here, I mean in the tabloids, etc ) is making assumptions about the character of Angelina and Brad, just from paparazzi pictures.

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

yeah Amelie I agree... I guess it's just that I like her and would like to believe the statements she made MONTHS ago when the rumors started, which were basically that she has no interest in and no need to go after anybody else's husband. But whatever did or didn't happen, it seems pretty clear that his marriage was going down the tubes anyway. If a guy really wants kids and his wife really doesn't, their marriage is going to fail no matter what gorgeous other women he happens to meet. I'm not saying it's OK to cheat, but it seems simplistic to blame a failed marriage on the other woman when there were pre-existing problems, without which the guy would have been too happily married to cheat in the first place.

It might not be that Angelina helped break up the marriage, but couldnt they WAIT!? I think thats whats more bothersome(sp?).

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

maybe I am just being naive :P, but it seems possible they did... I mean did anyone ever actually see them making out off-set? Visible chemistry and flirting is more than enough to start rumors, especially with people as high-profile as those two, and with an environment like a film set where everyone lives in each other's pockets for months! Who knows, maybe they were attracted to each other but agreed not to act on it until the marriage was officially over. I was in a play years ago while the guy I was dating was out of the country, and ended up falling for someone else in the play. It was obvious to everyone else that we liked each other, so they assumed we were hooking up and talked about us accordingly, but in reality we weren't and we didn't until I broke up with the first guy.

OK, I know it's a stretch... I'm just playing devil's advocate now!

i agree w/ amelie and sephorablue. now i'm a total romantic too but i really never felt that kind of forever-love from brad and jen's relationship. they both had sort of a 'yeah we're happy for the time being' type of attitude. (like when jen made a comment to that effect on oprah, he was quoted saying the same type of thing, etc.) with an attitude like that, a marriage is just NOT going to last. surely, someone will come along for one or the other or both that gives them butterflies, etc. so that's why i was not shocked in the least when they broke up.

so maybe brad had those butterfly feelings for angelina, but since we have absolutely nothing showing brad and angelina got together BEFORE the divorce was final (not even a fuzzy paparazzi pic), what is exactly is everyone so shocked and appalled by?

as for the brad wanting to have kids thing, jen not...who the heck knows if that's true anyway. but if that is the case, why should be put his life on hold and wait (for how long, btw?) to be able to have that w/ someone else?

this is the way i see it: two people who never seemed to believe in forever got married. then they got divorced. then the guy was seen w/ another girl after the divorce....where exactly is the "scandal"?

Are they divorced already? I thought Jen just recently filed for divorce.

My thinking is that you should honor your marriage vows as long as you are in the marriage. I have no problem what you do after the marriage is disolved.

Agree!

Heard today that Angelina is the one that arranged for these pics to be taken. Apparently she made the photographers give some of the proceeds they will make off selling the pics to one of her charities. Anyone else here this?

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

I heard that too; I guess if you're tired of pretending something isn't happening then you'd rather people see some innocent pics than a shot of him stuffing his tongue down your throat. Or maybe she hoped if they got some photographic evidence, people would stop stalking her. Still pretty phony, though, I gotta admit.

Their divorce is not final yet. I heard on ET the other day, I forget when it is but it is into the summer sometime. I think that is the worst thing, they could at least wait until it is final to start taking vacations together. I feel bad for Jennifer she always seems so sweet on tv. And while Angelina is beautiful she is very strange from what they show of her. I know you can't believe everything you read, but I think alot of the time they get that stuff right. Just like when they started printing stories about Brad and Jen while him and Angelina were making their movie. I thought they were flat out lies. But now we know they were right all along.
