Jennifer Aniston Is Engaged: How Do You Feel?

Well world, it’s finally happened — Jennifer Aniston, who has remained unmarried ever since getting her heart publicly ripped out, mangled, thrown on the ground and murdered by Brad Pitt, is now engaged to Justin Theroux.

So what does it mean? Well, for one thing, a whole subculture of women who maniacally salivate over gossip magazines in the check-out line (guilty as charged) just so they can experience fleeting moments of schadenfraude when celebrities’ lives dive bomb directly into the ground (not guilty, I like to think) will now have to pretend to be happy for her.

But also, it also means that we can talk a lot about marriage, and divorce, and waiting for the right dude or lady, and getting married after having already been married, and of course whether Brad Pitt is really sad now or whether he’s really happy for Jen (no doubt reports will be conflicting).

I guess that the one thing I feel — thanks for asking! — is that I wonder whether it’s real, as I do with all celebrity marriages, but more than that, I can’t imagine for the life of me what it would be like to have to pick a new man knowing that the world will be comparing him to Brad fucking Pitt, and scrutinizing whether you’re as happy as you once were, and then suddenly deciding to write more about Angelina Jolie, your nemesis.

I also wonder how much the pressure of constantly being on the covers of magazines for being single influenced her decision to get engaged (that’s assuming it’s real, let’s just go with it for a moment), and if, because of all that pressure, she could really ever be free to find a person who makes her truly happy.

I don’t know. I just worry about JenAn.  How do you feel?

    I feel confused and hungry. Although I’m not sure if that can be related to the subject at hand.

    I also don’t think she’ll ever get him down the aisle.

    I am not fond of celeb gossip, nor have I ever been a huge fan of her as an actress, but an interview I read with her (in Elle, I think) after the whole divorce had passed and it gave me a lot of respect for her. She seemed really level headed and down to earth. I know most celebs try to come across that way in interviews, but she nailed it. I don’t think she’d get married for publicity. As for Brad Pitt, I’m not much digging the long hair/grey goatee he’s got going on lately.
    As we all know, good looks do not have all that much to do with how compatible or in love you are. So, I’m happy for her as much as I can be for a total stranger. I hope it works out!

  • Me? I’m not.

    I think she will destroy Justin’s life, and still be considered the victim in all reports.

      She will hurt him and he doesn’t deserve it…

    All celebrities have the same problems as Jen, so we cannot worry about her without considering others… That’s the cost of Fame, but I guess Jen is not that kind of ppl to get married for publicity, there is a million things one can do to attract publicity… and Comparing Brad with Justin isn’t the right thing to do, as for any couple, what matters isn’t the look or any trait, what matters is the compatibility and the right match of 2 ppl… I found out many interesting facts about JenAn on http://www.katagogi.com/mid7720 … If you are fans u might like it

    She’s pathetic, and not at all funny.

    I feel bad for Justin. She’s still in love with Brad. She would still be with him if she’d just had a baby with him. That was ALL HE WANTED when she said her film career had to come first. Cannot believe that…SHE CAN’T ACT…Justin, weren’t you going with someone when she met you? Here’s a tip. Go back to your old girlfriend. Jen isn’t going to give you children. I don’t know if you want children but if you do, you won’t get them from Jen. Please, save yourself now…You are a good looking guy and a good guy to boot. She would drive me nuts with her criticizing (sp). We’ve all heard what she has said to you. Please save yourself now. Get away from her and find a real girl who only wants to make YOU happy.
