This is the tabloid story I’ve been waiting for – the Us Weekly version of “What Jennifer Aniston Thinks About Brangelina’s Engagement”. We’ve heard People Magazine’s version (“Jen is not a bitter person and she has always wanted Brad to be happy” – but not Angelina). We’ve heard E! News’s version (“she doesn‘t care”). We’ve even heard the Enquirer’s version (“collapse”). I’ve long suspected/known that Aniston’s rep uses Us Weekly for all manner of “dirty work” when it comes to her PR. Just this week, when TMZ reported that Aniston and Justin Theroux were scouting wedding locations in Crete, Aniston’s rep ran to Us Weekly to deny it (a story that he had likely planted in TMZ in the first place). So what does Us Weekly have to say about Aniston’s state of mind?

Jennifer Aniston has been having a low-key several months, but the 43-year old knows that everyone is wondering how she took a certain piece of news: her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s long-awaited engagement to Angelina Jolie, announced nearly two weeks ago.

“She hates it being brought up because she doesn’t really care,” says a pal of the actress, who was married to Pitt, 48, from 2000 to 2005; Pitt infamously fell in love with his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar Jolie, 36, while he was still married to her. (After seven years together, Pitt proposed to Jolie, with all six kids present, earlier this spring with a $500,000 diamond engagement ring he helped design with longtime jeweler Robert Procop; the family of eight recently celebrated the nuptial news with a trip to the Galapagos Islands.)

“She feels Angelina can have him,” the Aniston source continues. “She just wants to move on.”

Indeed, since falling for her Wanderlust costar Justin Theroux, more than a year ago, that’s pretty much what Aniston’s done. (Although Aniston recently sold two Manhattan apartments, she and Theroux, 40, have snapped up a $21 million home in L.A.’s posh Bel Air enclave, and have been in the process of redecorating.)

“Jen’s totally happy with Justin,” says the pal. “That’s all in the past.”

Look… ugh. Sure. She’s moved on. I’ve really been trying to give Aniston the benefit of the doubt, and I can just feel Aniston’s supporters coming out of the woodwork to scream about Jennifer being so, so HAPPY now… and sure. I’ll buy that. As I’ve said many times, I think Aniston is probably the happiest she’s ever been now that she’s with Justin Theroux. But…“She hates it being brought up because she doesn’t really care”…? When she brings them up in interview after interview? Really? And “She feels Angelina can have him”? Yes, after seven years, two pregnancies, six children and an engagement, Aniston is stepping off the Brad Pitt Battlefield with honor?
