Jennifer Aniston, from rock to hard place

MSNBC has an interesting article on Jennifer Aniston this morning that points out several “angles” that so many of us may have never thought of when it comes to that whole Aniston, Pitt, Jolie and Vaughn saga.

I found the article so interesting; I felt several of the comments deserved extra notice –

It was not the breakup that turned Aniston’s life into theater of the absurd — it was Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Jolie was already a glamorously strange icon, known for her unconventional marriage to Billy Bob Thornton, her stormy relationship with father Jon Voigt and her zealous affection for her brother. She’s also probably the last person you would want to see enter your ex’s personal life: You know drama will follow.

That’s really something to think about – is it the “love thing” that’s going on with the Pitt/Jolie union that people are most addicted to or is it Angelina Jolies talent for creating HIGH Drama everywhere she goes?

The way things have settled out, Aniston and Vaughn are certainly followed by the paparazzi, but they are nothing compared to the Jolie-Pitt spectacle. The latter couple did the former several favors in taking the heat off.

I personally think the lack of Jennifer Aniston in the media speaks volumes for her character and at least her cheating former spouse keeps the cameras on himself and less on her. Sweet of him, isn’t it?

Caught between the rock of endless speculation and the hard place of seeming like she’s talking out of school, Aniston has gone on an offensive of ostentatious maturity. So far, she seems to have been rewarded with slightly kinder treatment about Pitt, whom she does talk about. When it comes to Vaughn, whom she doesn’t talk about, the insanity is as powerful as ever.

Could Aniston be taking Paltrows comments literally when it comes to her relationship with Vaughn? Possibly! I do feel it’s in her best interest to keep as absolutely confidential in her private life as possible, regardless of how much I, and the rest of the world for that matter, would love to know the juicy news behind the scenes.

It will be interesting to see which “style” reeps the greatest rewards in the end! Will it be Pitt/Jolie being media hogs and grasping every atta-boy or girl they can for their “humane” charitable works? Or will it be Aniston/Vaughn (or whomever she eventually chooses as a partner) and their private untouchable lives?

I can’t imagine a world of eyes right in the midst of my marriage/relationship or family – I know how touchy it gets just having nosey in-laws – how can a relationship possibly withstand such interference? Is there truly a relationship that strong?
