However, it later became pretty clear that, when Angie talked about her kids getting to see the movie where their parents fell in love, she was referring to her and Brad’s CHARACTERS falling in love in the MOVIE, rather than her and Brad’s personal ife.

As for Brad, he dicussed it in his interview with W Magazine that came out back in (I believe, anyway. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong!) Janaury (it was the February issue, though. Like most monthlies, W puts out each month’s issue at the end of the previous month).

They asked him about JA’s vogue comments (i.e., Angie being “very uncool”), and he responded by calling JA a “sweetheart”, saying he thought she got sucked into that one by the media, and confiriming that they DO still talk to each other occasionally. He also reitirated what most of us have been saying from the beginning: There was no “dastardly affair”, and that MMS took over a year to film.

IMO, JA was basically doing the same thing in Vogue that Brad did in W. She was asked about Angie’s 2007 Vogue comments and responded. Personally, if people are going to get upset and say that she shouldn’t respond to questions about Brad and Angie and the comments they make, then I think Angie and Brad should be held to the same standards (i.e., they shouldn’t respond to questions about JA or her comments either).

I actually was very happy to see JA’s comments about not commenting anymore because it will get turned around. Some of us (myself included) have speculated that, just like with many of Angie’s comments, JA’s Vogue and GQ (particularly the GQ comments) may have gotten taken out of context, and that appears to have been the case.

What I was most glad to see, however, was JA saying the same thing Brad basically said in W, that there is no feud or “bad blood” between her and Angie/Brad. I loved the way she worded it, too (that there is no heroine or villian in this “triangle”). As for why she said that, I think it was her way of saying to the media, “Please stop asking me about it, becase I’m not going to respond to those questions anymore!”

That is what so many of us have been trying to say these past four years, but the tabs have been painting the opposite picture. I’m very happy that we now have BOTH Brad and JA on record stating that there is absolutly NO “bad blood” or feud among them (Angie’s alluded to that as well, but she’s never been as direct as Brad and JA).

All of that said, however, I do see your point. When Brad and Angie DO discuss what happened back in 2005, they virtually always do so in the context of their feelings for each other (in otherwords, they leave JA out of it), and they rarely directly address the “triangle”.

Also, each one of them has directly mentioned JA only once, and neither one did so in a negative way. Angie did so in the Vogue interview in 2007, saying that she’s perfectly fine with talking with JA if JA wants to do so.

Brad mentioned JA directly in his W interview, when he said that, “Jen’s a sweetheart”.

“another” Sherry, I hear you! “Someone was going to TRY and bring up Jen and Angelina in the same room.” That’s exactly what I was trying to say one of my previous posts.

I really think that may have been a huge part of the reason (or maybe even the entire reason) why Angie and Brad avoided being interviewed on the RC (well, Brad DID say a sentence or two to some of the interviewers, but I don’t call that an actual interview).

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Brad and Angie have anything against JA or feel super uncomfortable talking about her (both of those things seemed very obvious in Brad’s W interview. Brad even said that Angie vs. JA is tabloid and media created.). However, they must get sick and tired of constantly being asked about JA and the “triangle” (after all, going by Brad’s W interview, it sounds like they have moved on and are more than ready to leave the past in the past!) all the time.

The RC is also not the place to be asking questions like that (remember, Angie and Brad even seemed a little uncomfortable at the Golden Globes when everyone kept trying to ask them about their kids and personal lives instead of their work).

All of that said, at least one PittWatcher said that, to her, it looked like Angie and Brad were rushing a bit because they arrived late compared to most of the other nominees.

Getting back to the tabs and other media, I wish they would stop making JA sound like a helpless, defenseless little kid. I mean, they make it sound like the prospect of bumping into Angie is something that scares her to death!

I highly doubt that’s the case. Yes, running into Angie and Brad would probably be awkward for JA (and vice-versa). I mean, when ISN’T running into your ex or (especially) your partner’s ex awkward (unless the exes parted on good terms and are still friends, that is)?

However, I doubt JA is actually scared of running into them! I also don’t like how they make Angie sound like some sort of tigress (no pun intended!) who’s just waiting to sink her claws into JA, so to speak. I mean, come on! That is NOT the type of person Angie is!

The other thing that really annoys me is how they act like Brad wasn’t there, that there wasn’t a prospect of JA running into him as well.

Because Sherry mentioned JA in this post AND she’s relevent to this conversation, most of us feel like it’s okay to mention her in this instance.

In other posts where JA isn’t mentioned or revelant, most of us DO try not to mention her! :)
