Do you remember when Brad and Jen broke up? It wasn’t one of those life defining moments like say the death of Kennedy or Princess Diana, but still quite significant to those of us who vicariously live our lives through those who populate trash mags.
There was that whole Jen/Angelina tshirt thing. We all took sides, had a lot to say–but from those involved, not much was said. There was no snipey tshirt with “I Survived Maria” as sported by Arnold Schwarzenegar last week. Nothing much at all except for that dreadful Vanity Fair cover where Brad and Angelina when all happy mid-Western family, ostentatiously to promote their movie, but it sort of came across rubbing Jen’s nose in it.
We should have taken it as a sign that Brad was a bit of an insensitive arsehole–a good-looking one, but a prick all the same. But then he’s all Benjamin Button, Joe Black and Ocean’s Eleven cool, so it was dismissed as a momentary lapse of judgment. Until this week when the term insensitive arsehole can once again be bandied about.
Brad is in massive back-pedal mode at the moment as he tried to justify his recent comments about his marriage to Jennifer Aniston which he describes as a sham.
“It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself,” Pitt told Parade magazine.
“I think my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
All I can say to those comments is why, Brad, why? Why trash a woman and a marriage that you humiliated six years ago? Let bygones be bygones. Trashing a past relationship is just so not classy.
Anyway Brad is regretting his nasty little comments, using the old it was taken out of context routine. I find it difficult to understand how direct quotes like those above can be taken out of context but maybe I’m cynical.
So Brad, my advice. Be careful what you wish for. You’ve certainly got your interesting life now, with your six children. Actually it sounds like hell to me, but interesting is what he wanted and interesting is what he got. And all of us here in the real (and let’s be honest uninteresting world) now think a little less of you.
And by the by, lose the facial hair that you are more frequently sporting and cut your bloody hair. Your hotness has decreased by a factor of ten. Image
