Hollywood press eager for a catfight made no effort to play down the fact that Brad Pitt’s former and current gals were going to face off against each other on Oct. 24, when they both had movies opening. But while Angelina Jolie’s Changeling is still set to open that weekend, Jennifer Aniston’s He’s Just Not That Into You has been pushed back — to February 6, 2009. Not only does the change affect the trades and gossip blogs yearning for a box office receipt throwdown, but it also make’s this month uncomfortable Marie Claire situation — which had Aniston feuding with co-star Jennifer Connelly so much that she reportedly refused to share a cover with her — a moot point. Boo.
Below, some of the headlines carrying the original news of a Jolie-Aniston tete-a-tete.
As you might have suspected would happen, Life & Style’s report that Jennifer Aniston refused to shoot a Marie Claire cover with all four of her co-stars is being shot down by her publicist Stephen Huvane.
The tabloid’s report fingered unexplained bad blood between Aniston and He’s Just not That Into You co-star Jennifer Conelly as the reason why Aniston refused to do the magazine cover if Connelly was on there too (though Aniston was supposedly fine with shooting alongside Drew Barrymore and Ginnifer Goodwin, who are also in the film, but only if she was front and center).
Immediately, Huvane was playing defense, insisting the reports are “absolutely absurd” and that “there is no drama whatsoever.”
Who to believe?
Dating John Mayer has earned Jennifer Aniston the superlative “cougar,” not the emotion “empathy” she was so used to after her split from Brad Pitt. And while Aniston hasn’t exactly done anything to deserve the growing ire of American women who used to so identify with her, she hasn’t done much to keep it. And that’s a celebrity actor’s job when they’re not filming!
And then, when they’re done filming, it’s also the celebrity actor’s job to keep quiet any reason America might have to hate her, so as not to re-open the scab. Too bad Aniston failed on even that front.
Eve, you made your point and the rap thing's now over. These days, you're going to black tie charity functions in shimmering frocks. Get thee to a laser technician.
After the jump, many more from the 7th on Sale Black Tie Gala Dinner.

While fashion and its inculcation of laughable "principles" has long been a thorn in Mollygood's side (which is draped in rags, mind you), the site would like to announce that it wholeheartedly endorses the demure, neo-mummy look displayed here by the radiant Jennifer Connelly and the gravity-defying Helen Mirren. Brava!
Jennifer Aniston is in the final stages of a deal that would have her become a caricature of herself, starring in the film adaptation of the juvenile, simplistic book He's Just Not That Into You.
Aniston joins Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Ginnifer Goodwin and Drew Barrymore in the Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story arcs dealing with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior.
Aniston will play a woman in a long-term relationship with a boyfriend who will not commit to marriage.
Asked if she's excited about her impending role, Aniston said, "This is the life I've made for myself," and then gently wept into her knitting.
Paul Bettany is a six and a half, with the extra half point being for not tanning. But, his perfect sartorial decisions put him into a league of his own, allowing him to swing for the fences with Jennifer Connelly. Rounding out everything is that he's talented (we'll let The Da Vinci Code slide) and seemingly kind. So, considering all that, he's actually probably an eight and a half.
