Jen and Vince and Brad and Angie

My 2 cents on the death of the Jen and Vince affair: Aniston has succeeded, with her obfuscations during the last few months, to actually make people who don't like her or don't care that much start to feel sorry for her. At least I do.

I'm pretty sure her intention was not to make herself an object of pity. But, how can you not pity her - Angie and Brad seem stronger as a couple every day, they look hotter than ever and they could not have a cuter family - not to mention, rich, successful, traveling the world, etc. etc. Whereas Jen seemed rather desperate in the last few weeks in taking to the airwaves and the celebrity weeklies to proclaim that she and Vince were absolutely together, not to mention making a very public trip to London to see him to shore up her talking points - only to turn around almost immediately to say that they had split.

The worst part about it is that everyone now believes that she was the one dumped (given that she was the most proactive in making public comments about their togetherness) when at the beginning of her stint with Vince, everyone thought she was the one trading down. In all of this, I think she's been getting very bad advice from her publicist - Stephen Huvane - who frankly I think she's too personally friendly with and this has clouded his objectivity. Perfect example of this: Huvane recently sent an email to the celeb blogger perezhilton, who famously despises Aniston, to plaintively complain about how mean perez is to Aniston and to "correct" a comment from perez ridiculing Aniston for claiming to still be together with Vince when it was pretty obvious they weren't. Of course perez published the email which shows that not only do Aniston and her publicist read what celeb blogs (and I assume tabloids) are writing about her, but they care about it too! Not a good move. . .

She just seems like she's trying to compete with her ex and it's a contest she can't win, so if I were her, I'd just refuse to comment on my personal life for a while (both publicly and privately - everyone knows where those "a source close to Aniston" quotes come from).
