Brad Pitt's ‘Juicy' Love Triangle Was a ‘Shame', Says Friends Star
Two decades after Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston split up, the Friends star has dished on the 'love triangle' that became the centerpoint of media scrutiny. In a new interview, the Emmy winner even revealed how the public exposure to the private events affected her 'personally.' Jennifer Aniston shares thoughts on Brad Pitt's love triangle In a new Vanity Fair feature, Jennifer Aniston opened up about her marriage to Brad Pitt that ended in 2005. Only months after the much-publicized breakup, the Se7en star was rumored to be dating Angelina Jolie, which created the 'love triangle' narrative in media. Aniston shared how the 'juicy reading for people' in tabloids left an impact on her. The Morning Show actress noted, 'It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally.' Speaking of the tabloid culture, she further added, 'They were sort of building us up and then tearing you down.' The Murder Mystery star, who was 36 at the time of her split with Pitt, also reflected on her personal belief system. She gushed, 'I didn't have a strong enough constitution to not get affected by it. We're human beings, even though some people don't want to believe we are. They think, You signed up for it, so you take it. But we really didn't sign up for that.' Meanwhile, Pitt and Anniston met in 1998. The Fight Club actor proposed to the actress within a year of dating. They tied the knot in Malibu on July 29, 2000. The extravagant wedding reportedly saw 200 guests and four bands. Within five years of their marriage, the couple split up. They released a joint statement that read, 'We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate. For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media' (via PEOPLE). Later, Pitt started dating Jolie, whom he got close with while filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith in 2003. Jolie shared in an interview that the duo were not romantically involved with each other while filming the movie. She told Vogue, 'Because of the film, we ended up being brought together to do all these crazy things, and I think we found this strange friendship and partnership that kind of just suddenly happened' (via The Hollywood Reporter).

‘Real Housewives' star Dr. Terry Dubrow warns stars against career-ruining procedures: ‘Trying to pursue perfection'
Dr. Terry Dubrow, a plastic surgeon known for his work on shows like 'Botched' and 'Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind,' as well as for appearing on 'Real Housewives of Orange County' with wife Heather Dubrow, isn't holding back his thoughts about the latest trends in his field. A big issue, he tells Fox News Digital, is that stars and regular people alike are taking plastic surgery too far in an attempt to 'pursue perfection' – and it's getting to the point where he says 'aging is becoming a disease.' 'Some people do have a certain amount of BDD, body dysmorphic disorder,' he explained. 'And I think there's a spectrum of it, and some people, not necessarily celebrities, but some people just may do plastic surgery for not the greatest reasons, and they're trying to pursue perfection.' Another reason why people might overdo cosmetic surgery, Dubrow theorized, is because of social media. 'Everybody is portraying, as you know, through filtering and other processes – now AI, of course, is going to be influencing that – idealized versions of themselves. And celebrities are now transparent, admitting to plastic surgery, and are looking really good. So aging is becoming a disease.' 5 Dr. Terry Dubrow warned against celebrities going too far with plastic surgery. Paige Kahn for Decider From his perspective, it's more acceptable in Hollywood for a female celebrity to have noticeable work done than men, but for both, he stressed the importance of not changing one's appearance too drastically. 'If you're a female celebrity who's gotten older, it's OK to look a little different, just as long as you don't do the sort of… Jennifer Grey thing, where you go from looking one way on 'Dirty Dancing,' having your nose done, and then you're out of the industry because you changed your whole look,' he said. Grey famously had work done following her success in 1987's 'Dirty Dancing' – as she wrote in her memoir, 'Out of the Corner,' the nose job made her literally unrecognizable to some. As she explained it, 'Overnight I lose my identity and my career.' 5 Dubrow said actress Jennifer Grey lost work because of her nose job. CBS via Getty Images; FilmMagic There are a few examples of other celebrities he suspects may have gotten work done that went about it in a better way, one being Brad Pitt. 'Brad Pitt looks unbelievable,' he said. 'What I love about the way Brad Pitt looks, and I have no inside information about Brad Pitt, is he looks like Brad Pitt. He looks unaltered … If you did anything to alter Brad Pitt's Brad Pitt-ness, even if he looked good, it would be a fail. Because what are you going to do to make Brad Pitt look better?' Pitt has never admitted to any plastic surgery, though in 2022 he spoke about his youthful appearance to NDTV, saying, 'I could say I eat well, but I don't. I could say I meditate, but not really. I would say I've got a lot of lovely people in my life and I stay creative.' 5 Dubrow said he suspects Brad Pitt got work done at some point. Getty Images; Variety via Getty Images Another example of a celebrity who Terry thinks has had good work done is Lindsay Lohan, who he said 'looks really, really good.' 'Whatever she's done was done really well,' he shared. 'I think whatever she's does, it's worked.' The 39-year-old actress hasn't admitted to plastic surgery despite rumors to the contrary, but earlier this year, she told Elle, 'Everyone does Botox.' She's also been open about other non-invasive procedures she's had, like Morpheus8, a microneedling treatment, and she's praised the work of her dermatologist. 5 Dubrow praised the plastic surgery Lindsay Lohan had done. FilmMagic; Getty Images The plastic surgeon also lauded the looks of some of Hollywood's biggest leading men: George Clooney, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who he believes all look amazing. 'I don't know what they're doing, but it's working, OK?' he said. 'They look the same. They don't look altered. You know they're doing something there. They're not letting themselves go … It's not just diet and exercise, they're doing whatever they're doing, it's working – they look age-appropriate but wonderful, like Brad Pitt.' On a more personal note, Heather Dubrow admitted, 'I'm as vain as the next person. Being on high definition television at this age is not for the faint of heart.' 5 Heather Dubrow said she prioritizes 'being strong' over her looks. Fox News She said that she's 'always opted for the non-surgical solutions to anti-aging,' and that for her, the most important thing right now is 'being strong' rather than her looks. 'I want to be like a fit mom, meaning I want to have longevity,' she said. 'I remember seeing a picture of Goldie Hawn a few years ago, and she had her granddaughter in a backpack. She was in her 70s, and I was like, 'That's what I want.' I'm not looking at pictures of the girls on the beach in the bikini going, 'Ooh, that's a nice butt.' I'm going, 'Look at her with her granddaughter on her back, and she is fit, and she's moving, and she's flexible, and she's alive.' That's what I think about.'
