Foul-Mouthed Jen's Stork Longing; Brad Talks Kiddie Pix Jen says she's a woman on the verge (of mommyhood); plus, rapidly aging Brad has a bounty on his head, Britney splurges on Sean and Jayden, Jessica wants to get edumacated and more ... Posted Dec. 4, 2008 In the nearly two months since Jennifer Aniston rekindled her romance with John Mayer, the tabloids have kept her already scrutinized womb under even closer surveillance, with Star recently predicting twins (denied) and the current In Touch investigating her "bump mystery."
(©Entertainment Weekly) "Oh my God, it's hysterical," the actress, 39, chuckles to Entertainment Weekly of the speculation that she's incubating a Mayer-shaped and presumably blabbermouth bun in the oven. "You can't do anything without it going to some extreme. It's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'I'm pregnant!'" She even worries that if and when a knocked-up announcement comes, no one will believe her because the tabloids have been touting a blessed event since around 2000, when she wed Brad Pitt. "Everyone will be like, 'Yeah, right.' It's the boy who cried wolf," gripes Jen, who then colorfully warns the tabs, "Stop stealing my thunder, mother----ers!" Still, the glossies have probably focused so much attention on Aniston's procreation plans because she's talked about them so often, from before her split with Pitt ("We're absolutely in the process," she told People in 2004. "It's where we're headed") to post-breakup ("I've never in my life said I didn't want to have children," she defensively declared to Vanity Fair in August 2005. "I did, and I do, and I will!"). Her seemingly Big Ben-sized biological clock comes up again in her sit-down with EW, which is part of the publicity push for the Christmas Day release of canine-centric "Marley & Me" ("Sometimes you're not always so thrilled about the movie you're pushing," she acknowledges to the mag. "But this is a good one"). "I feel like that's in my future and I'm on the verge of it in some way," Jen says of motherhood. (Is being on "the verge of it" sort of like being "a little bit pregnant"? Just wondering.) "Or it's something I long for." Another thing she longs for is to escape the played-out love *** involving Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the mother of his six kids. Brad and Jen crack each other up at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2004. They announced their split eight months later. (©Retna Ltd.)
"The Hollywood fairy-tale romance -- that's what's put onto it," Aniston says of her past life as Mrs. Pitt. "It's Luke and Laura. But if you strip away all of the glitz and the glamour and the headlines -- the shock and awe of it -- it's just people living their life. S--- happens, and it's as normal as any other human being if you take away the headlines. It's just not as interesting without the headlines." These days, she appears resigned to her role in the tabloid-directed drama: "It's my history. It's my memory. That's all it is to me: something that happened, something that was really quite poignant and good in the long run." She then jokingly adds, "Someone said to me, if a tabloid happened in the woods and no one was there to read it, did it happen?" But Aniston herself managed to generate a flurry of new headlines when she told December's Vogue how she thought it was "uncool" of Angelina to reveal how she couldn't wait to get to work while filming "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" with the then-married Brad. (©Vogue) Jen concedes she was taken aback that the fashion bible would take her words out of context to use as an irresistible cover blurb, which teased, "What Angelina did was very uncool." "I was just surprised that Vogue would go so tabloid," she sighs. "I was bummed. But you almost expect it. Big deal. Done. Next." Besides, she says, she views her face on newsstands as an alter ego, not unlike the one played on the small screen by Miley Cyrus. "Everyone projects their thoughts on you. Everyone's got an opinion. I wish they didn't. I've gotten to the point where, if I focus on all of that stuff, I won't make a move, you know?" Aniston concedes. "There's this character -- it's like my Hannah Montana. That's how I feel. There's my Hannah Montana and then there's me." But there are moments when she wishes everyone would back off, like when a New York Times critic took her professional and personal decisions to task in a 2006 article. "It was so venomous," Jennifer recalls. "It was like, who f---ing s--- in her Wheaties? How do these people get the opportunity to just spew s---? They don't know anything. You know, career choices -- you just do what you do. Not everyone's a winner. Not every episode of 'Friends' was great. Not every guy you choose is great. Just across the board, there's so much expectation." (By the by, cereal is a running theme with Aniston, who also mentions it when talking about her future big-screen choices: "The girl trying to get the guy -- those movies just don't interest me these days. I'd be so bored just doing that. I always think of it as you're walking down the aisle of the supermarket and there's the Fruity Pebbles. I like to do a little Kashi as well, a little granola.") Whatever happens career-wise, Aniston feels -- much like the aforementioned Miley -- that she's on the cusp of a major growth spurt. "I don't know if I'm just a late bloomer," Jen self-reflects, "but I feel like everything is just beginning." Meanwhile (and just so we do our small part in keeping the *** going), Pitt is also *** the interview rounds as he promotes the David Fincher-directed drama "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which coincidentally opens opposite "Marley" ("I want it to do great," insists Aniston. "I've seen about an hour of it. It's amazing. Amazing."), and he, too, is talking about tabloid culture. One particularly hot topic: Brad and Angelina's decision to sell pics of kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 5, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2, and 5-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne to the highest bidder in order to fund their philanthropic efforts (a newborn Shiloh reportedly earned them $4.1 million, while the twins are rumored to have brought in around $14 million). On Wednesday, a surprising lucid Larry King asked Pitt how he balances a love of privacy with a love of "exposure," a la their post-birth People exclusives and the intimate photos he took of Jolie and their brood for the November issue of W. "There's a bounty on our heads. And these pictures are going to come out at some point," notes the A-lister, who is unfortunately still sporting the hotness-sapping bushy moustache required for his role in Quentin Tarantino's spell check-breaking "Inglourious Basterds." "And they're going to be chasing us and they're going to go to the ends of the earth to get these photos." Brad poses in a playground built by his Make It Right foundation in New Orleans on Dec. 1. (©AP) Brad, who was talking to King from the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, where his Make It Right foundation is working to rebuild houses, said they figured it would be better to cut out the middleman. "And we just thought, well, maybe we could -- since there's such a bounty and that bounty is so obnoxious -- we could take that money and funnel it to something good," he explains. "And that's what we decided to do. It's still a bit uncomfortable to do such a thing, but I know it's right in the end." (Especially when worthy groups benefit: On Thursday, the ridiculously famous flames donated $100,000 to Global Action for Children, which also received a $1 million donation from them in 2006.) As for the W photos, which Pitt shot at their French chateau a few weeks after the arrival of the double bundles and featured a cover shot of a beatific Angelina breast-feeding, he says, "We just didn't want to leave the house, so we just figured we'd do it ourselves, and had a good time doing it." Not that juggling the Jolie-Pitt bunch is easy. Larry wondered whether the tots keep the 44-year-old actor feeling young, prompting him to laugh, "No, man. It wears you out. Are you kidding me? I'm aging fast." But at least he was able to sow a wild oat or 20 in his youth. "I got to spend a few decades being idiotic and hell-bent and solipsistic, and everything else," Pitt sheepishly admits, earning bonus points for using the five-dollar word "solipsistic." "So, you know, I got time to get all that out of my system." King had a hard time swallowing the idea of Brad's wild days, perhaps because when the host was in the bloom of youth, a glimpse of stocking was considered something shocking. "I mean, wild in my book," says Pitt. "Yes, I got away with a lot, Larry."
