Like phoebe I didn't initially agree that jen isn't the best communicator, but thinking about it that may be true as it is with all of us at times. But she is really funny. I do think Oprah asked the question about the uncool comment to help jen clear it up but it was still misunderstood. I'm not sure when angelina made the comment about falling in love on the set of MMS, but maybe that was how jen felt about the comment then and never said it at the time. We have all been there. You know when you think it's better to be quiet so you don't say anything, but as soon as your given the opportunity you find yourself saying something about an old hurt. It's usually too late and then people think that you must not be over it yet or are living in the past. I think it's better to say how you feel at the time rather than try to address old wounds. I'm sure that it was taken out of context and the point that she no longer feels that way got left out of the story because that wouldn't fit the "formula" needed to sell magazines. I'm just thankful that I don't have to live my life under a microscope. I do like all three of them and I do believe that jen and brad genuinely care about eachother based on comments they both have made. Their relationship has just changed is all and she said she is very proud of him and I believe her. I also think that angelina has the right to feel good about her family. Her and brad have a wonderful and inspirational family. They are true role models. And joliepittfanatic I love Oprah and I have a feeling that angelina is going to be on there soon because she represents everything that Oprah and her crew teaches. She was just trying to be loyal to her friend jen but I know she must be dying to talk to angelina. When you think about it angelina has grown so much over the years and is a great mom which is the hardest job there is. Which is probably the reason that jen hasn't rushed into it. You need to be ready to be a mom because it's also the most important job there is! Thanks for the intelligent dialogue phoebe and joliepittfanatic. phoebe and joliepittfanatic you have made excellent points!

I have always felt the way you do regarding JA and how she handles the "triangle". While I think joking about the kids was going a bit too far (although in all honesty I really don't think she meant any harm by it. I feel that she just didn't think before she spoke, which is something that happens to just about everyone at somepoint, albeit not usually to the media!), I don't think she neccesarily uses the J-Ps and the triangle for publicity. It's easy to forget that, 99 percent of the time, when a celeb says something in an interview, they're just answering a question rather than bringing up the issue themselves. I think the people who interviewed JA for GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair, etc. are as much to blame, if not more so, as JA is for still bringing up this whole "triangle" business. Really, GQ had no business asking JA about what she thinks of Angie and Brad's decision to sell the twins' first photos to PEOPLE and give the money to charity (although I wouldn't be surprised if they worded the question like it was just Angie who made the decision), or anything about the J-Ps for that matter. Same goes for Oprah. I sort of like Oprah, but I don't think she needed to ask JA about her comment to Vogue about Angie being "uncool". All of that said, I think that JA is someone who doesn't have the best communication skills (and I don't mean this in a mean way at all! I'm the first to admit that my own comminication skills aren't always that great!) and thus she ends up sticking her foot in her mouth quite frequently. I also believe that she is over Brad at least to some extent. I don't think she'd be with John Mayer now if she wasn't. As far as it hurting her to see Brad and Angie's relationship and family splashed all over the media...I see your point, Mo, but I don't think that's neccesarily the case. For example, when Nicole Kidman is asked about Tom Cruise (she even recently basically said that if he's happy, then she's happy for him and she wishes him well), she has nothing but good things to say about him, and she even seems to be very at ease speaking about Katie and Suri as well. In otherwords, she doesn't seem hurt by Tom's relationship with Katie or the fact that they have a child together in the slightest. Of course, Nicole is happily married and has a daughter with her new husband, plus the two kids she and Tom adopted together while they were married, while JA does not. I realize that may make a big difference in how they feel about their exes new relationships. My point is that it's possible for an ex to NOT be hurt by the fact that her ex is now married/partnered with someone else and has kids with that new wife/girlfriend/longtime partner. Anyway, I'm not even a JA fan myself, but I also don't think she's the horrible, insensitive, bitter person people make her out to be. Phoebe, that was a very insightful post.

It all depends on your point of view. I was an angelina fan before 2005. I never watched friends, but I was immediately on Jennifer's side when it happened because I felt sorry for her. Now I really feel bad for her because I feel like the media makes Angelina out to be the "winner" and so Jen of course is the "loser" in this drama. People say that Jen should move on, but it has to be hard when you see their fairytale romance play out on TV. The children and twins to boot has to hurt whether she is over brad or not. Damn!!! Have some compassion people and put yourself in this woman's shoes. And let us not forget that when she is interviewed the first question is about Brangelina. So what if she wants to make a snarky comment or two. The bottom line is that no matter who she gets with in the future the media is always going to compare them with brad. I do agree that she would be better served by saying no comment because someone is going to judge her according to their own transference issues, and I too am guilty of that with Angelina. Has anyone noticed that Oprah hasn't had Angelina on her show?? Is it because of her friendship with Jennifer??? I do like loyalty. I agree with phoebe. It all depends on your point of view.

Brangelina talk about this all the time and there is no need to mention names for it. as much as they have the right to talk Jen has the right too. its called tolerance and fairness. i´m sorry Sherry where did my first post go? joliepittfanatic:

Hope this isn't a dumb suggestion. I'm just interested as to what we all think. Four words come to my mind, "Legends of the Fall"....I cry just looking at how hot Brad is...Sorry just having a moment :) Sorry Sherry, one more thing, You’ve asked for suggestion on discussion topics and I don’t know if this has been on the discussion boards before, but what about getting us all to post what our favourite Brad Pitt movie is of all time and a favourite line from one of his movies????
