Jennifer Aniston’s publicist might want to have a talk with her. The “Marley and Me” star’s latest round of interviews is doing less to promote her new film than to promote her ex-husband and his baby mama. Yes, the former “Friends” star is once again kvetching about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, referring to the three of them in GQ as “the insane Bermuda Triangle.” (Notice Jen’s always the one connecting the dots.)
Again rehashing her remark that it was “uncool” of Angie to tell Vogue about falling in love with Brad on the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” set — while he was still married — Jen explains, “That was definitely a confirmation for me of something that wasn’t quite confirmed at the time. But listen … no daggers through the heart. I laugh. Am I surprised? Well, how do I say this? Considering the source, nothing surprises me.”
Still, Jen cracks a joke about being buddy-buddy with Brangelina: “The funny thing is, people don’t realize we all go away to the Hamptons on the weekends. No. But can you imagine? That’d be hysterical. I’ve got Zahara on my hip, and Knox.”
Girlfriend, you’re not exactly dispelling the idea that you still pine for Brad.
Gwyneth: Merry Chris-mas
Though they insist they’re simply a private couple, those rumors that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are on the rocks just won’t seem to go away. The latest poop: A pal of the Oscar winner and the Coldplay frontman reportedly tells the New York Daily News the two are ensconced in their London home “trying to make their marriage better.”
The American-born actress is so anxious to mend fences with the Brit rocker that “she’s staying overseas until the holidays are over,” the source says.
“Gwyneth says she’s totally fine,” the insider notes. “She’s used the phrase ‘perfectly happy’ a bunch of times, and refuses to read any of the tabloid tales to the contrary.” (Seriously, though, why would she need to read tabloids to find out about her own marriage?)
A rep for Gwyn calls the tale “complete nonsense.” And honestly, we’re pretty skeptical ourselves. First Gwyneth and Chris spending Thanksgiving apart means they’re in trouble; now spending Christmas together means they’re in trouble? Whatever.
Single Kate
It isn’t easy being young, single and gorgeous in Hollywood. Just ask Kate Hudson: Since her split from ex-husband Chris Robinson, she’s been a target of rampant tabloid speculation.
“I was never single in the industry. When the movies came out and I started getting more jobs, I was always married,” the “Almost Famous” star explains to Harper’s Bazaar. “So the whole thing is very new to me, and it hits you very fast because the publications jump on you. You’re dating everybody you walk around with — you can’t have any male friends. It’s weird.”
And then there are those annoying “baby bump” rumors that plague any actress who happens to be a little bloated.
“They’ve said maybe four times recently that I’m pregnant. Because I’m leaning over in the picture!” Kate fumes. “You think about it, and you’re like, ‘What are you doing?’ It’s all bull … excuse my language, but it is. Women’s bodies change — they change all the time.”
Lighten up, Kate. There are plenty of women out there who wouldn’t mind if their bodies changed into yours on your worst day.
Bronx Bombing?
What’s the new barometer for celebrity status? Asking price for baby pictures, of course! And it looks like Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have been relegated to the D-list, since new son Bronx Mowgli evidently isn’t a big hit with the tabloids.
Though a rep for the new mom denies the scoop, an inside source tells Page Six, “Pete and Ashlee have approached every single celebrity magazine with offers to sell their first photos, but nobody wants them. Covers of them tend not to sell well.” Ouch!
Somewhere, Joe Simpson is feverishly plotting about how to get Bronx some press.
