Get ready, everybody! It's time for another round of "Walking on Eggshells With Jennifer Aniston!" Yes, it's true -- Aniston's feelings almost got hurt. Again! Oh, cruel world! Hasn't the poor woman suffered enough?
Zach Galifianakis, hysterically funny star of The Hangover, recently admitted to nearly offending Jennifer "Above Reproach" Aniston when she appeared as a guest on his skit "Between Two Ferns." Apparently around the time of the skit's taping, Galifianakis came across a Brad Pitt look-alike in his hotel.
Galifianakis immediately had the idea of somehow using faux-Brad in the skit. Well, of course he did! A Brad Pitt double showed up right when he was getting ready to stage a funny interview with Jennifer Aniston! That's like a blessing from the comedy gods. A perfect storm of hilarity!
Or it could have been, if somebody hadn't reacted to the suggestion like a whiny spoiled brat.
Can you guess which self-centered, overly sensitive person I'm talking about?
Predictably, Aniston did NOT want to include a Pitt look-alike in her "Between Two Ferns" skit. Because, you know, her pain is still too raw ... sniff, sniff ... and she's a good girl, not like that trashy tattooed harlot her husband took up with, she didn't deserve to be treated that way ... sob, sob.
Oh, for crying out loud. Really?
Every time Jennifer Aniston gets all heartbroken 13-year-old when something Brad-related happens, I can't help but think she's a.) being really irritating and b.) missing an opportunity for some killer PR.
Think about it -- what if Jen was a good sport and played along with Galifianakis? It would have been really funny, for one thing, but it also would have gained her some much-needed respect. When a person is big enough to poke fun at themselves, especially in the public eye, that's just undeniably cool.
It's tough to sympathize with somebody who takes themselves too seriously, which is why, even though I can acknowledge that, yes, Aniston was probably deeply hurt by Pitt, I can't feel sorry for her. Never could. And now I'm just sick of the whole thing. Where did she get the idea that the entire world was supposed to tiptoe around her wounded ego?
Plus, "Between Two Ferns" is notoriously offensive. (Anybody remember the early episode starring Natalie Portman?) And while Galifianakis did an admirable job replacing Pitt as an offending presence with Tila Tequila, the skit could have been so much better.
Do you think Jennifer Aniston needs to get over herself?

I don't think Jennifer Aniston cares even slightly about anything to do with Brad Pitt. The only one that seems to care about all this is ...well... you. Stop beating a dead horse and find something interesting to write about.
I think the woman has a right to her opinion and you need to think of all the press garbage and how tasteless it would be for her to mock her ex- husband.. Have a care.. there are alot of peoples feelings involved with her aproaching the subject. Maybe she wants to distance herself from the past and isn't that her right? Why dwell on a bad time in your past?.... Leave the woman alone. Atleast she is true to herself ! Whoa! She has never done anything to those two so get your record straight.. they are the antagonists all along.. adulterists and media hounds... She shut up, got over, and moved on! Good for her!
I don't think she's overly sensitive. Why would she want people rubbing her nose in her previous life with Brad Pitt? Just because she was once married to him doesn't mean people have free reign to be callous jerks in perpituity. It wasn't a roast. Maybe someone should be more creative than asking to make the joke at someone else's expense.
Or she could do things that make her feel comfortable, instead of being in stupid skits just to make idiots on the internet happy... God forbid you people let her move on.
Why not? In Hollywood you constantly have to face your ex. It's a very small, close-knit community. Look at R-Patz and K-Stew. They're contractually bound to do a lot of PR together for their next movie. Should Rob act like a twat and cry about it and refuse to go because she's there? Especially if this was seven years from now? Brad and Angie met in 2005. It's 2012. SEVEN YEARS and she still can't even seem to face Brad, only take cracks at him via magazines and whatnot. That's pathetic and it has nothing to do with being somehow 'too classy' to face him.
Rob seems to be doing the classy thing and keeping his grief private and doing what he's supposed to do and will do the PR beside Stewart. Throwing tantrums and demanding that she be banned from being anywhere near him for every single appearance he makes for the next decade (like Aniston is/has done) is not classy or mature.
