I want to start off by saying I think Jennifer Aniston gets an unfair rap. Unless she’s completely emotionally unstable, there’s no way she’s as obsessed with Brangelina as the tabloids would have you believe.
And I really don’t buy that she’s going to have a revenge baby.
However, OK! magazine decided to run a cover story based on “insiders” and “sources” that she’s planning a big ol’ wedding to John Mayer this year.
And her press rep Stephen Huvane came right back and denied it.
But you know what else Stephen Huvane has denied over the years? Pretty much Jennifer Aniston’s very existence. According to Us Magazine, a review:
1) BRAD AND JEN ARE NOT ENGAGED
After Jen and then-boyfriend **Brad Pitt** took the stage during a Sting concert in November 1999 and Jen flashed a big diamond ring on her left ring finger, Huvane told the media: “She has a ring, but it’s not an engagement ring.” He continued to deny any engagement until the couple married July 29, 2000.2) BRAD AND JEN ARE OK
Two weeks before Brad and Jen announced their separation on January 7, 2005, Huvane told Us: “They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine.”3) JEN ISN’T MOVING TO HER FORMER BACHELORETTE PAD
In February 2005, Huvane denied reports that Aniston was planning to move back into her former Hollywood Hills home, telling the New York Daily News, “Jennifer is not planning to move back into her home that is leased out to Ali G [Sacha Baron Cohen]. That is another fabrication.” Cohen and his fiance, Isla Fisher, were ousted from the place that same month, Aniston moved back into her old pad later that year, and Vaughn joined her in January 2006.4) JEN AND VINCE ARE NOT DATING
When pictures of Vince and Jen cuddling on the set of The Break-Up surfaced in July 2005, and rumors circulated that the costars were dating offscreen, Huvane denied the coupling to the New York Post: “There is no romantic interest. Vince is a good friend of Jennifer’s. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions.”5) GWYNETH IS NOT DEPRESSED
In 2003, rumors surfaced that **Gwyneth Paltrow**’s depression over her father’s death caused the actress to drop out of the films I Heart Huckabees and Happy Endings. Huvane, who is also Gwyneth’s publicist, denied the reports, saying, “She’s not going through a serious depression, she just needs some time off.”“I was so depressed about my father,” the actress later said of the time in her life.
What’s the point of having a publicist if you don’t want any publicity?
I now have this mental image of Stephen Huvane of being a portly fellow with a stereotypical irish accent. I must never see or hear anything about the actual Stephen Huvane, lest it rob me of this hilarious image of the Irish Beat-Publicist.
“Alrright, show’s ovarr, nothan’ to see ‘ear, move alon’, nothan’ to see…”
A “revenge baby”!!!!! How lame can the tabs get?
I prefer to have the mental image of Stephen Huvane being that slightly clueless friend that finds out everything last. I imagine he has the following reactions to the five examples after he finds out he was wrong.
1) They got married? By, like a priest or something? Well, that won’t last.
2) Separation means they’re not together? I thought it was one of those fancy beach resorts like Hedonism or Atlantis.
3) I never even got an invitation to the house re-warming.
4) Alright, alright, I meant friends with benefits. Jen has needs too. I didn’t think they were dating. C’mon, it’s Vince Vaughn, cut me some slack.
5) Sorry, I was thinking of me when you asked about Gwen.
Mkay. I realize if someone is in the public light they have to give up some privacy. However, that is one people hire publicists, so they can have a shred of something that they keep for themselves. Despite the fact that she and Brad really did their best to keep their wedding a secret that was crashed. And I can only imagine, if I were going through a painful break up, I would live to keep that to myself as long as possible, to process before the rest of the world picks it apart into little pieces.
Hell, didn’t she and Brad break up over 4 years ago and we are still having to hear about all the drama? If you read Perez Hilton, Jen can’t do anything without being compared to Angelina. If she becomes a spokesperson for a charity it is because she wants to seem good in comparison. If she starts dating, it’s so she won’t be seen as a lonely loser. She is damned if she does anything and damned if she doesn’t.
Does she seem like she is trying to court all of this attention? If she is, she is doing it in a pretty surreptitious way.
Um, are all bloggers this naive? Do you ever wonder why Maniston is having a baby, and/or getting married to whomever (insert name here - Vaugh, Sculfor, Mayer or some other hapless or famewh*ring guy) at the PRECISE minute ‘Brangelina,’ is celebrating some big event that the entire world is hanging on? Ever wonder why? Her publicist, Stephen Huvane, plants the lies to correspond with the Brangelina story (it’s called coattail riding in the PR biz), and then to laughingly ‘distance,’ Jen from the breathless tabloid lie, he immediately comes out with a ferocious denial. See Janice Min’s today show trumpeting of the ‘marriage to Vince Vaughn’ cover back in 2006. Huvane came out like a freight train, threatening to withhold his other ’stars,’ from NBC’s morning show, and vociferously denied the rumor, that NOT coincidentally occurred just as Angelina was about to give birth then too.
Huvane & Aniston, or ‘Huvaniston,’ are NOTHING if not plainly obvious. It’s the same tactic and modus operandi EVERY single time.
To say she’s pathetic, and destroying what remnant of a post TV hack ‘career,’ she had is an understatement.
What is she, if she’s not the wounded grudgeholding bitter TV sit-com hack of an ex, going tit for tat with the REAL MOVIE STARS. Her tabloid timing tells the story of just how Huvane works his magic. He’s an incredibly skillful lying b*tch.
@ Cliniqua
Hi Angelina! How are Brad and the new recruits to your army of the young?
This a publicity stunt, JA is boring whitout the Brangelina drama ,everytime she is on a magazine Brad Pitt name is on it she is the girl from Friends that has a great body , OK face that got dump for Angelina Jolie but I dont think she is how pathetic the tabloids want to make her look , She is rich and has no kids and gets to travel to any place she wants when she wanst to , how many peaple can say that??
“Cliniqua”,
The fact that you call her ‘Maniston’ gives away that you read Perez. So do I but I also know how to think for myself; try it sometime. As for something about her hitting the headlines any time the Brange fam does anything, do you really think that’s all her PR person/people? Hmmmm, what about tabloids just totally making stuff up (imagine! i bet they never do that!) to continue to sell magazines, since they can’t all be People and have the Brange $14-million twins on their cover? Ever think of that? I’m not a fan of hers any more than I’m a fan of the Brange, but if she tips the boxboy at Vons or Ralph’s when she picks up some groceries, the next thing you hear is that they’re dating. It’s so patently ridiculous so much of the time that it seems more evident to any thinking person that it’s paparazzi, not her PR, that is responsible. If you believe them, then you’re the one who’s pathetic, not her. Reread Queen Bee’s post - not only is it intelligently written, it’s also well-written, and pre-refutes you excecllently. And get over whatever your issue is with Huvane. It’s creepy. If you’re in the industry (and your post sounds like you’re attempting to imply that), it sounds like you’re jealous of his tactics. Deal with it.
I still think she’s way hotter than Angelina Jolie.
I’m glad to see Baghdad Bob landed himself a job. Great fit in Hollywood.
Is it fair to say that most celebrities need publicity every so often, the worse it is, the better.
If she is having a baby or getting married, then it is out of revenge. I’ve long since stop saying what Jen won’t do because I proclaimed she would never ride the back of some man tour bus. Oops I was dead wrong about that. Jen lost her class and is capable of any thing.
Yes, if she managed to find someone she cares about or accidentally got knocked up, that was totally to get back at Brad. Because, you know, she dumped him and he hasn’t really been able to move on with his life.
And Jen has no class because you proclaimed she would never ride the back of some man tour bus? Does that make sense to you? How is your diet going, Perez?
@ Not Starstruck: what, you know her personally, or can read her mind now? Biyotch, please.
