Being Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are also calling it quits professionally, parting ways on their joint production company, Plan B.

I wonder why we can't seem to get enough of hearing about the Jen-Brad-Angie triangle. Do we secretly love that Jennifer Aniston, the funny and beautiful, just got dumped? Does Brangelina make us feel like our issues aren't so bad after all, because at least we had the decency to wait two months before making our move -- or did we do the same thing and now we see beautiful, perfect people doing it too? Or like me, does it make you feel better about the times you felt rejected or humiliated or heartbroken, because clearly men are crazy if they throw away even a Rachel Green -- and at least your breakup wasn't published in every known media outlet?

Either way, I don't envy Jen right about now. It's bad enough when friends are insensitive to how a breakup -- much less a divorce -- may affect you. How much worse to have journalists you don't even know giving you love advice, like you should date Vince Vaughn (player and alleged jerk -- sorry man).

By the way, Brad, we suggest you ditch the faux-towhead look. Unless you're also planning on bleaching your eyebrows.
