benjamin button was a way better movie, IMHO. i LOVED marley & me in book form, and cried like a baby at the end, but for about 90 minutes in the middle it had ZERO PLOT.

course, the tugboat-crew-in-russia thing in BB went on for a good 20 mins longer than it needed to. are film editors on strike????

I've had a crush on John Schneider since childhood the Dukes of Hazzard was my favorite show evar but my parents wouldn't let me watch it because of the Confederate Flag and they were racists or something so I had to sneak a watch and he's SO dreamy and I even stopped watching Smallville just because they killed off Pa Kent and yeah it's kinda weird and OMG he has puppies please someone bring those puppies back so John can smile again please!!??!?!11

That is all.

@ceejeemcbeegee: A secret John Schneider crush? That's something about you I never would have guessed but it's so sweetly charming that I can't stop smiling. You're so cute!

He was definitely foxy back in the day and it went beyond redneck hot.

Um, Brad's movie played on 1,000 screens less than JA's. So statistically, if you want to get into percentages and shyt, he probably "won".

@lovecake:

Actually, Marley and Me earned more per screen too. The difference probably has to do with M&M being rated PG and BB being PG-13 and of a more mature nature.

Marley and Me looks like the equivalent of a golden retriever stuffed between two thick slices of white bread. With snow sprinkled on top.

Who knew that Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston would stoop to a feel-good, holiday season, DOG movie.

@mslewis: I mean, the actor and the actress playing his wife are actually near the same age. Normally the actress is a full decade or two younger than her leading man and way too young to have birthed the children she supposedly has on screen.

It has always irritated me.

Because I'm a grumpy old broad.

Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with Mariah. She's got some wicked talent as a singer and she brings her own special brand of harmless cray. (crazy) I always felt like she's be really silly and nice if you met her. However. Whenever her name comes up, I remember this item I read about her once, which of course may not have an ounce of truth to it. At one point, when her oddness was at its' peak, she liked to take all of her meals in her bed, and wore a bib while she ate. And would not deviate from this routine. For whatever reason, this stuck in my mind. Weird.

@Samanthrax: No. It's only weird if it's a real bib-the kind a baby would wear. Cats come in handy during foodtime. They can be used as napkins, coasters, or trays. And in certain cases, if you have to get up for any reason, you can use them as chargers to keep your food warm. I've found this works best with hot sandwiches. Let me know of any other uses you come across.

Whatever.

I respect Brad more because he decided to be with someone with substance, who at least actually takes an interest in the world around her. You know, as opposed to some highlights-obsessed, try-too-hard who somehow manages to remain mediocre in every single aspect.

@Penny Plastic (Archetype): Angelina retuned her digs for attention from playing with knives and wearing blood vials to galvanting around the world sans makeup and posing with starving people. Yes, she helps but she's a famewhore about doing so. Many other 'celebrities' quietly donate, work, and promote without giving doe-eyed interviews about how they have to 'affect change in the world.' One method doesn't make one a saint, the other doesn't make one vapid and without substance.

@Penny Plastic (Archetype): Um, please, clearly much of the judgment was based on the fact that Aniston has gasp, *highlights*. That comes from a place of true wisdom.

@dancerevolution is on the beach, bish.: Agreed. I think this is one of the first headlines pitting Aniston v. Pitt, and not that competition between exes is that fab. either, but it seems more relevant than the whole Aniston v. Jolie tabloid/desperate women drama. Jezebel is not the place I come to see one woman degraded at the expense of another, under the assumption that all women must be fighting against each other over a man.

@battleaxonista: Angelina has been "galvanting" around the world, working with the United Nations since 2002. Her caring didn't just start.

I guess you think "quietly" donating means showing up at charity events, which is what a lot of stars do. Others like to be more hands on. If a famous person shows up at a refugee camp, it means cameras will follow; when cameras follows, so does more money for that cause.

I always saw it as Brad and Jen got married and perhaps Brad thought, wow my wife has been on the most famous tv show ever! Maybe she'd like to pause for a moment and have children... But that's not what she did, she had to conquer the movie screen with..Along Came Polly. And if being a father was super important to him and Jen was hindering that then...well what more can he do? Brad & Angelina have said several times they didn't do anything until after Brad was seperated{questionable}, while they do say they fell in love during Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I just don't think Angie is the man stealing wench and Brad the philandering husband..I'm not blaming Jen either but she seems a little...Tracey Flick-ish to me in some ways.
