Should you avoid the ex or confront her head on if friends are saying ‘I do’?
On the surface, Angelina Jolie is the embodiment of a secure, confident woman. Is this why she let ‘life partner’ Brad Pitt attend a friend’s wedding when he knew that ex-wife Jennifer Aniston might be there? Should you follow in her footsteps?
Although there’s no definitive word that Jen actually was a guest at producer Brad Grey’s April 16 wedding, it’s safe to assume that she might have attended, as she and BP launched their Plan B production company with him in 2002 (the two Brads later moved it to Paramount after the Brad/Jen split). It was a shock, then, for friends like Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani to see his manager, Cynthia Pett-Dante, on his arm instead of Angie.
Anyhoo, let’s say Jennifer attended the wedding for argument’s sake, and that she had even called Brad to let him know she’d be there. Should Angelina have stayed at home then?
Let’s face it: when you’re Angelina Jolie, no other woman is a threat. Brad divorced Jen, after all. Although their relationship might be amicable, she’s not ‘the one that got away’, a woman you should live in fear of. That said, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Perhaps Angie is the exception (not the rule), but I think that she should have gone to the wedding and played nice; she should have at least acknowledged Jen. Although I suspect Brad isn’t in any great rush to be run back to his ex, your situation might be different. When you put two people together who have been in love once, add alcohol, subtract yourself and stir, you never know what might happen. Why tempt fate?

I dont think angie sees jen as a threat,giving him space to attend a wedding knowing an ex will be there shows that she trustes him and there relationship.lets not read to much into it we dont need drama at a wedding.

In this case it’s not about them. This was a friends wedding, it shoult be about the people getting married. And lets face it, if she had gone, then all the tabloids would have been talking about is ‘Jen and Angie finally meet face to face’, no one wants to steal someones thunder on their wedding day, it would have been rude. So in this case, since Jen’s the one that actually is friends with the groom, she’s the one who goes and Angie’s the one who stays home. It’s just being considerate.

Never mind the fact that he has 6 kids with Angelina. YES 6 kids. OMG, this site sucks.
And if you watched the video of Angelina doing a Kung Fu Panda interview you can hear how sick she sounds, like the flu or a cold @ screenslam website

You are not giving Angelina enough credit as usual. Why take the attention away from the bride and second if you can not trust your man, you can not trust your man. Makes no difference where it is. Angelina and Brad are securein their relationship. I will say this though if I were Angelina I might want a little piece of Aniston based on all the nasty things she has said through her so called friend Handler. Brad would not want to open Angelina up to these .itches.

What strange ideas to write about. Insecure women are actually those who must at all cost be with their man everywhere he roams. The secure modern woman knows that she can do her own thing and not have to attend a “business” friend’s wedding, special event or whatever in order to “keep an eye” on her man or even try to make a statement of “we are together”.
I have attended these type of events with and without my spouse of 28 years. It is always laughable when the relationship challenged people try to give advice. Aj shows a lot of faith, love and trust in what she has built with he partner. They seem relaxed, secure and happy. People who seek out drama and control rarely stay happy together. Maybe the author of this silly article should keep that in mind.

You just described how Jen treated their relationship while married to Brad…..lol. This is the first time ever in six years that Brad and Angie have been apart for longer than three days. It’s about time, I would have felt suffocated….lol Everybody needs their space at times.
ffff

They are not apart now at all, they are in LA.
Brad finished filming Cogan’s Trade a couple of weeks ago and actually only filmed for less than 4 weeks. Angelina had to finish editing her film in LA.
And they have been apart for more than 3 days in the past 6 years. They try not to be, but things come up you can’t control.

Then tell me why in her pity party tear filled Vanity Fair articles did Old Jen’s friends say SHE wanted to stay married and Brad didn’t hmmmmmmmmmm?
And I quote:
“I think Jen wanted to work it out, and I don’t think he wanted to work it out,” Andrea Bendewald observes. “I don’t think he knew what he wanted.”
“She was committed to the marriage,” says Bendewald. “He wanted to figure out who he was and what he wanted, but he seemed to want to do it without being married. She wanted him to figure out what he wanted and stay married. He didn’t think he could do that, so at that point she was like, ‘O.K., go figure it out.’”
He wasn’t heartbroken though considering how fast he moved on with his life and created the beautiful and big family he always wanted with Angelina. While today Jen’s best dating prospects are John Mayer. haha
Ugh, jen sucks

“I don’t think he knew what he wanted” WHAT? Why is this idiot speaking for their marriage? Jen brings her friends to interviews so they can talk smack on her ex? No wonder he left her–she allows her friends to get involved into her life. Gross, gross, gross. Brad wanted a family–that’s obvious. She just didn’t want to admit that her career was much more important to her. What a liar and a backstabber.

This is 2 days in a row you have LIED this way. Jen was not at the wedding, GET THAT, Jen was not at the wedding. Brad took his manager Cynthia Pett-Dante, who was Brad Grey’s partner at their managment firm before Brad Grey took over Paramount. Brad Pitt, Brad Grey, and Cynthia P-Dante are long time friends. YOU KNOW NOTHING AT THIS SITE AND ALWAYS CONSTANTLY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING. Disgusting!!!!!!!
