Brad: I Didn't Mean to Call Jen Boring...

That probably won't calm the angry members of Team Aniston, however

(Newser) – Brad Pitt’s really stepped in it now, riling up Team Jen afresh with his comments in the new issue of Parade. You see, back in the ‘90s, he “wasn’t living an interesting life,” he tells the magazine. “I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.” It also didn’t help that he was “trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony … sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic,” he says.

Now Angie, on the other hand: “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,” he gushes. “She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.” Predictable outrage ensued, with many people recalling the time when Aniston famously said Pitt is missing a “sensitivity chip.” In response, Pitt issued a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, insisting that he and his ex-wife remain friends: “It grieves me that this was interpreted this way. … The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself—and that, I am responsible for.” Click for more.

I DON'T see the interest here...Niether of the two are all that! The looks are common, the acting overrated, over paid. How bout adopting children here in the United States!? Tons of kids need homes here! If it wasn't for my age I'd be glad to take a few and give them the best life I could. Millions made doesn't make the parent. J-Lo....another overrated, over-paid. Can't believe I'm even commenting on this...Back to what is important here...My grandchild!

Duh, Jennifer IS boring.  All of her movies are the same role, just a different title.  She has been on talk shows and never has an interesting comment.  I think she's not too smart, and really not very pretty.  What is the attraction to her anyway.

Well, I guess Brad's little PR schtick to gather attention for his latest sure-to-fail film has backfired.  Open mouth, insert foot... whoops, it's stuck and it's kind of pathetic watching him trying to pull it out.
