Target Women: Jennifer and Angelina's Oscar Ex-Plosion
Sarah Haskins tackles the bizarre media obsession with the fact that Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston were at the same award show. OMG!
(If you can’t view the embedded video, click here.)
Mainly, as someone for whom the bulk of her celebrity gossip tends to come from reading the tabloid headlines in the supermarket checkout line, I’m really just both completely amazed and totally not that the entertainment media is still so utterly obsessed with this idea of two women constantly at each other’s throats over a man. Years later.
I mean, granted he is Brad Pitt. But I’m pretty sure that he not only puts his pants on one leg at a time like the rest of us, but that people also come into contact with their current partner’s ex/their ex’s current partner on, like, a fairly regular basis.
I’m also pretty sure that women sometimes have other things on their minds besides men. Like, as Sarah Haskins points out, being filthy rich.
