Brad Pitt
and Jennifer
Aniston, apart
–––
I think everyone was shocked last week to hear the horrible news. I was glued to my television in disbelief to Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and Access Hollywood, scanning the magazine racks at Superstore, and checking the minute by minute scoop on the internet.
I patiently and intently waited to get the latest coverage of potentially the biggest story of 2005. No, not the Tsunami or the relief effort, but rather the breakup of super couple Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
From their humble beginnings, to the fairy tale wedding, to the multi-million dollar salaries and homes, Brad and Jen seemed to have the perfect life. And now, it is all a blissful memory. This leaves me to wonder that if they could not make the marriage work, then what hope does anyone else have?
It feels as though my parents are getting divorced all over again ... or at least Tom and Nicole.
I know my world came to a standstill when that beautiful couple called it quits back in 2001. And now that Brad and Jen are sadly heading down the same road as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (minus the children lent by some studio) another, more important question arises. Who will win the break up?
Now, there is Jennifer Aniston who is coming off the Friends tidal wave, she will always have a job as long as she can cameo on Joey, and has films like Picture Perfect to her repertoire.
And then there is Brad. Oh Brad. Now, I think the only way he could screw this up is if he starts to make more questionable choices such as Troy, starts an interest in Scientology or if Jennifer gets a starring role in the next Baz Luhrmann flick.
But fortunately for us, Brad and Jennifer, besides that one episode of Friends, never collaborated on some romantic box office disaster.
I think we should all take a moment to thank them for not making some form of Gigli/Eyes Wide Shut monster that would only remind us of the better days. The days when we could believe in Hollywood marriage and celebrity love.
Yet there is another plus to this whole situation. Just think of the new and exciting potential dating possibilities for the new ex-couple.
Now not only do we get the joy of the Brad/Jen sighting, but also the thrill of who is the new flavour of the week. Maybe this won’t be so bad. Maybe we can get though the breakup.
I mean, as soon as the papers go through, I can at least take solace in the fact that there is now a new opening as the next Mrs. Brad Pitt.
