[NEWS] Courteney Is a True F.R.I.E.N.D

"Cue the music..."I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too," and actress Courteney Cox has done exactly that for Jennifer amidst Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt's divorce drama. Cox wants everyone to know: "Leave Jennifer out of Angelina Jolie and Brad's split."

Cox released the following statement through People magazine:

"It's NOT about her [Jennifer]. I feel like we're exacerbating it by even talking about it."

One day after Jolie filed divorce papers from Pitt, social media users reacted to the news by tweeting gifs and memes of Aniston cheerleading and giving 'I-told-you-so' faces among others. #JenniferAniston even became the second most popular trending topic on Twitter, behind #Brangelina.

Cox was there for Jennifer when she married Brad and stuck with her amidst Aniston's divorce from him even allowing her to crash on her couch. Courteney is proof that when a friend is in need you help them no matter what, which is precisely what she has done for Jennifer.

[NEWS] Justin Finally Comments On Brad and Angelina's Divorce

Justin Theroux has stood by his wife actress Jennifer Aniston through false pregnancy rumors, and her late estranged mother's death. Now he's speaking up about Jennifer's ex-husband film actor Brad Pitt's divorce from Pitt's second wife actress/director Angelina Jolie.

Theroux said:

"As a child of divorce, all I can say is that's terrible news for those children [Brad and Angelina have six children biological and adopted: Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and 8-year old twins Knox and Vivienne] and that's all you can really say."

Theroux added, "It's boring to sort of comment on anything else. People are having a bad time. That's horrible." Justin also slammed what he called "nonsense" attempts to drag his wife Aniston into the divorce drama. "There's an endless appetite for trash, apparently - though everyone would say that they [tabloids] don't have that appetite," he explained, "but I think a lot of people do because people buy it."

Justin continued, "But there are bigger things to bitch about. It's shocking how much bandwidth things can take up when there are far more important things going on in the world."

[REVIEW] 'Storks' Review

Here's what critic's had to say about Jennifer's 3D computer animated comedy/family film 'Storks' with criticism from Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, and IMDb:

(2016) Storks
Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave gave the film a score of 62% based on reviews from 69 critics with an average rating of 6.3/10.0. Rotten Tomatoes critic consensus states: "Colorful animation and a charming cast help 'Storks' achieve a limited liftoff, but scattershot gags and a confused, hyperactively unspooled plot keep it from truly soaring." Positive reviews from Rotten Tomatoes include: " 'Storks' is charming, if often nonsensical in its plot line and frenetic in its pacing," - said critic Megan Garber of The Atlantic Post. "Stoller has made the most amusing film of his career with this subtextual look at how modern corporate culture penalizes anyone wanting to become a parent." - said critic Andrew Parker of Globe and Mail. "God news, parents: 'Storks' is bound to entertain you and your little ones. Bad news: Get ready to answer a lot more awkward questions about where babies come from." - said critic Brian Truitt of USA Today. Negative reviews from Rotten Tomatoes include: " 'Storks' isn't terrible...it's just too generic for a marketplace that's often a site of genius." - said critic Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out. "Less enjoyable than making a baby but more enjoyable than raising one, the animated feature 'Storks' delivers a bouncing bundle of blah." - said critic Kyle Smith of The New York Post. "The movie doesn't have enough to hang itself on; the premise is too flimsy and that old question of 'Where do babies come from?' remains oddly avoided, in even a child-friendly way." - said critic Jake Coyle of the Associated Press.

"Is entertaining for the whole family!" - film critic Brian Truitt of USA Today
According to Metacritic the film got a score of 56 out of 100, based on reviews from 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Positive reviews from Metacritic include: "Every joke here hits its target, and while many of them will soar over the heads of youngsters, it will still send everyone home happy and satisfied." - said critic Andrew Parker of The Globe and Mail. "Like Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's stellar 'The Lego Movie', the filmmakers work with the confidence that if a joke fails, the one that follows a few seconds later will redeem the scene." - said critic Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle. Negative reviews from Metacritic include: "The whole movie seems to be on fast-forward, with crushingly brainless dialogue, hollow imagery and no way of slowing down the febrile action or making sense of the chaotic plot." - said critic Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal. "Animated films have trended toward a perceptive intelligence in the past few years, but 'Storks' wades in shallow waters most of the time." - said critic Steve Davis of the Austin Chronicle.

" 'Storks' is charmingly funny!" - film critic Megan Garber of The Atlantic Post
IMDb the internet movie database gave 'Storks' a 7.3 star rating out of a 10.0 star rating based on 373 votes from 4 users and 42 critics. Positive IMDb reviews include: " 'Storks' gave me some of the biggest laughs of any film so far this year, cartoon or live-action. It's a worthy addition to the house Bugs and Daffy built." - said critic Alonso Duralde of TheWrap. "While 'Storks' doesn't get as deep as some of Pixar's works or 'The Lego Movie', the script still tackles some surprisingly mature topics that will arguably strike a chord more for the adults in attendance than the children." - said critic Chris Ager of Screen Rant.com. Negative reviews from IMDb include: " 'Storks' isn't tightly scripted, often depending on Samberg to verbally bend lines to make magic, and even that grows tiresome in the second half of the film." - said critic Brian Orndorf of Blu-Ray.com. " 'Storks' doesn't appear able to decide what kind of story it wants to be and so covers all bets. The mixture of high-concept story, more complicated than it's worth, and mechanical story beats ensures that very little of this film gets delivered to where it's supposed to go." - said critic Chris Barsanti of the Film Journal.com.

[NEWS] Justin Rushes to Jennifer's Aid During Brad's Divorce Drama

Upon being contacted by Jennifer who more than likely requested Justin be with her in this time of need - hopped the quickest flight from Melbourne, Australia to Manhattan, New York to be with his wife. Friday, September 23, 2016 Justin arrived in Manhattan at his apartment where Jennifer was waiting. He sported a casual look when entering the Big Apple possibly trying to stay incognito.

Theroux had been in the land down under recently wrapping up shooting the third season of his HBO drama/fantasy series 'The Leftovers'. He joined his wife who was practically forced to flee the state of California and retreat to his New York apartment after being hounded by the paparazzi for comments. She left L.A. and was New York bound Thursday, September 22, 2016 after being hounded more than usual amidst her former ex-husband Brad Pitt's current divorce from actress/director Angelina Jolie.

The only statement Jennifer has released at this time regarding Pitt's divorce is, "Yeah, that's karma for you!" It's sad that the situation has gotten this overwhelming for the actress when she's not even the one divorcing Brad she's just caught in the cross fire.

Justin wrapped up shooting 'The Leftovers' taking to Instagram posting the following:

justintheroux: "That's A WRAP. The Leftovers. Season 3, RIP. #asalways...thank you to the crew...but not MIKE, #youknowwhatyoudid. #YoutooChris!. We expect better. #ilovesixofyouthemostyouguysknowwhoyouare. #thankyouAustralia! #stillcantgetoverhowmikeletusdown #JK _ love you all. Thank you. #blazeofglory

Just as Brad and Angelina request privacy during this difficult time amidst their divorce, we think Justin and Jennifer are just as deserving that their privacy be respected as well.

[NEWS] Jennifer Escapes in NY While Brad Deals with His Divorce Drama


Jennifer surfaces of all places in Manhattan, New York in an attempt to try and escape the inescapable news of her ex-husband film actor Brad Pitt's divorce drama from his current soon-to-be ex-wife actress/director Angelina Jolie. Nothing to see here, folks. Jennifer is just trying to go about her day. She walked the streets of the city that never sleeps - just as the news about her former flame fails to rest, too.

Just days after Angelina filed for divorce from Brad, Jennifer was spotted in Manhattan sporting a casual look possibly trying to stay incognito. Can we blame her? This love-triangle of Brad-Jennifer-Angelina has yet to rest since 2004. Jennifer has recently been hounded by the press and paparazzi more so than usually lately that she's trying to stay out of the L.A. area for a while.

The New York Post: Brangelina 2004-2016
Since news broke of the 'Brangelina split, Aniston has been equally on people's minds as memes flood the internet of her theoretical reaction to the break-up. The New York Post even put on a photo of the Jennifer hysterically laughing on its front page with nothing but one caption: "Brangelina 2004-2016."

However, since the infamous love triangle of Pitt-Aniston-Jolie, Jennifer has remarried screenwriter/actor Justin Theroux, and The love triangle now only exists in tabloids. Meanwhile, Pitt's side of things has gone from bad to worse. New reports have surfaced that Brad has been accused by Angelina of having an affair with his 'Allied' co-star actress Marion Cotillard and now, as reported by NBC News, is involved in an inquiry by the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angles, California County regarding allegations that Brad was involved in an incident with one of his children aboard a plane.

While a spokesperson for the DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) could neither confirm nor deny to E! News if there is an active investigation taking place due to privacy regulations, some outlets have claimed: "Brad screamed and got physical with his kids aboard a private plane."

The agency did have the following statement to say:

"In response to your inquiry regarding allegations within the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States; specifically, an aircraft carrying Mr. Brad Pitt and his children, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) is continuing to gather facts and will further evaluate whether an investigation at the federal level will be pursued". 

Other sources claim otherwise in regards to the incident that took place between Pitt and his children stating, "What it comes down to is the kind of disagreement that sometimes occurs between teenage boys and their father. This is where the situation has spiraled from. And Angelina as a mother can be very protective."

A source close the couple stated, "There is NO abuse. They [Brad & Angelina] both love their kids more than anything else in the world. Maddox age 15, and Pax age 12 are VERY protective of their mother and they are both growing up and developing their own personalities. And while sometimes there is screaming and yelling and they can all get boisterous, there is NO huge problems here. Brad's relationship with his oldest son's is great, but from time to time they have their differences, which is VERY normal for fathers with teenage boys."

Another source says as for Angelina, "She has a TOTALLY different approach to parenting. She has a calmness about her not matter what screaming and yelling and playing might be going on around her. But Brad on the other hand can sometimes react differently. And it can be difficult at times to discipline children, especially teenagers."

Thursday September 22, 2016 it was reported that Pitt was moving out of his Hollywood Hills home that he shared with Angelina and their six children. While a moving truck was spotted outside of the property so was a police squat SUV circling the premises. They were on high alert since being notified of Pitt's alleged child abuse as a result of the so-called "plane incident". Brad is remaining cooperative in this difficult time, and only wants what's best for his and Angelina's six children.

[VIDEO] Chelsea Handler Weighs in On Jennifer's Exe's Divorce


[NEWS] Why Chelsea Handler is Coming to Jennifer's Rescue Amidst Brad's Divorce from Angelina


Television hostess/comedienne Chelsea Handler came to Jennifer's defense by ripping into actress Angelina Jolie during Handler's Netflix show Tuesday September 20, 2016 when Handler called out Jennifer's ex-husband Brad for ever getting involved with Angelina.


The outspoken television hostess characterized Angelina as a 'f*cking lunatic' who had driven her husband (Brad Pitt) to booze and pot as an escape. In a segment about the shocking split, which Chelsea took to twitter tweeting out on Wednesday.

Handler tweeted:

@chelseahander "Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from Brad Pitt... he wants the China; she wants Pax and Maddox. ##sorrycouldnthelpmyself

During her show Chelsea said, "There are rumors that part of the problem was that Brad was allegedly drinking and smoking too much weed. I wonder why he would need to self-medicate."

Handler went on to say, "Maybe because he could have been spending the last 12-years at Lake Como hanging out with actors George Clooney and Matt Damon, instead of being stuck in a house with 85 kids speaking 15 different languages. Oh yeah, because he [Brad] married a f*cking lunatic [Angelina], that's why."

[NEWS] Jennifer Takes Satisfaction in her Ex-Husband's Divorce

What goes around comes around, Jennifer Aniston sees the impending divorce of her ex-husband film actor Brad Pitt from his second wife actress/director Angelina Jolie as "karma" for what happened to herself 11-years ago.



When the actress was reached for comments Aniston simply stated:

"Yeah, that's karma for you!"

Jennifer feels sort of satisfied about Brad and Angelina's split. She said in a way a part of her always knew it was just a matter of time given how Brad and Angelina got together.

Jennifer also admitted:

"Now I'm not gloating about their divorce, despite what happened to me and Brad while we were together, but I have moved on and am really happy with Justin and still care about Brad and I wish him well."

2005 Mr. & Mrs. Smith

2015 By the Sea
Brad and Angelina have been together nearly 12-years and of those twelve they were married for two, had six children together and shared the big screen twice in 2005 action/romance-comedy 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith', which is how the two came to be 'Bradjolina', and then again in 2015's indie/romance 'By the Sea', which not only starred Brad and Angelina, but was also directed and written by Angelina.

Angelina filed for divorce Monday September 19, 2016 from Brad citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason on the divorce petition. Which is the exact same reason Aniston cited after she separated from Pitt in 2004. According to the court documents, the pair have been legally separated since Thursday September 15, 2016 just two years and one month after they married August 23, 2014.

Left to Right: Zahara, Knox, Brad Pitt, Maddox, Shiloh, Pax, Angelina Jolie, and Vivienne
Jolie is seeking physical custody of their six biological and adopted children: biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel (born May 27, 2006), biological twin daughter Vivienne Marcheline and son Knox Leon, and adoptive daughter Zahara Marley (born July 12, 2008) , adoptive son Pax Thien (born November 29, 2003), and adoptive son Madoxx Chivan (born August 5, 2001). She's asking for physical custody of the couple's six children, and requests that the judge give Brad visitation rights. Angelina said, "It's significant, I do NOT want Brad to have joint physical custody only joint legal custody."

She released a statement after announcing their divorce:

"This decision was made for the health of the family."

Already there is speculation that a tabloid-friendly, child-unfriendly custody battle may ensue over their six children who all range from the ages 8-15 with the twins being the youngest and Pax being the oldest. Jolie's camp is also focused on the children.

However, a source close to Angelina and Brad asserted:

"Both sides [Angelina & Brad] want a cordial break-up. Other than the fame of the people involved, this is like so many other divorces."

She is also asking to keep miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects as well as any earnings from after the date of their separation and other separate assets to be determined later.

Robert Offer, an attorney for Jolie told CNN in a statement yesterday:

"She [Angelina] will NOT be commenting at this time, and asks that the family be give their privacy during this difficult time."

Meanwhile Brad gave the following statement  to People magazine regarding his divorce:

"I am very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. I kindly ask the press to give them the space they deserve during this challenging time."

Jolie came to the decision to divorce based upon her disagreement with Pitt's parenting methods. A source said, "Her decision to file has to do with the way Brad was parenting the children she was EXTREMELY upset with his methods of discipline." She is also reportedly "fed up" with Pitt's drug habit (he has a history of drug use including marijuana), as well as his drinking habits (there haven't been claims of alcoholism yet, but they're expected to follow the divorce proceedings as more details are released), which combined with Pitt's alleged anger issues created a quote, "Unsafe environment for the couple's children", said Jolie's attorney Robert Offer.

In a statement to E! News, Jolie's manager Geyer Kosinski said:

"Angelina will always do what's in the best interest of taking care of her family and appreciates everyone's understanding of their need for privacy at this time."
