| | Kim Kardashian has taken the MPRE & if she passes, she?ll take the bar exam | | Added 42 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In 2019, Kim Kardashian announced in a Vogue cover story that she was attending her own makeshift law school and studying to take the California bar exam at some point. At that time, she thought she would be able to take the bar exam in 2022. It? did not work out that way. It took her four tries to pass the ?baby bar? exam, which is administered after most law students? first year. That was in 2021. I wondered back then if Kim would eventually admit that she sort of gave up on her dream of becoming a lawyer. But she?s still at it, six years later. She just took another major exam:
Kim Kardashian is continuing her journey to becoming a lawyer. On Thursday, March 27, the SKIMS founder took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) in Los Angeles, PEOPLE can confirm.
According to the National Conference of Bar Examiners, the assessment is typically completed before the bar and a passing score is mandatory in order to practice law in California.
This is just one more step Kim has taken toward becoming an attorney since she revealed she was following in her late father Robert Kardashian Sr.?s footsteps in 2019. Although she has yet to take the bar, she has since spent the past few years working in criminal justice reform and helping several people commute their prison sentences.
In 2021, she took the ?baby bar,? also known as the First-Year Law Students Examination, and opened up about the difficult experience after passing on her fourth try.
OMFGGGG I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection, she wrote on X at the time. For anyone who doesnt know my law school journey, know this wasnt easy or handed to me.
I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but Im not making excuses) she continued in a lengthy thread. ?I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals.?
[From People]
Lawyers and law students help me out they?re saying that the MPRE comes before the bar exam, but what kind of timing is between the two? Does this mean Kim?s hokey ?law studies? are over and now she has to pass the MPRE, and once she does that, she?s ready for the bar exam right away? Or is it like? she has one more year to go, something like that? I looked it up? the MPRE is considered easier than the bar exam. Hm. I wonder if Kim will talk about it if she flunks it, and I wonder if she?ll announce it when she?s ready to take the bar. Even though I?ve sort of rolled my eyes at how often Kim seems like she?s half-assing her law studies, I do have to give her some begrudging credit I truly expected her to give up years ago, and it?s sort of cool that she?s still trying to follow through on this, six years later.

Sydney Sweeney is currently living out her own romantic-comedy plotline. Sydney had been engaged for years to Jonathan Davino. Their age-gap relationship was painful for Sydney?s fans and they?ve always wanted her to dump him. Well, in the past week, there have been so many rumors that Sydney is over Davino, that she?s living in a hotel and that she called off their planned summer wedding because Davino was stressing her out. Then this past weekend, she was in Texas? attending the wedding of Glen Powell?s sister. Glen and Sydney starred in Anyone But You and they became quite close back in 2023. Rumors were flying around back then and both Sydney and Glen used those rumors to sell the movie. Now it?s looking like Sydney showed up to Glen?s sister?s wedding single as hell and ready to mingle, Texas-style?
Sydney Sweeney and fianc Jonathan Davinos breakup was a long time coming. Whether the two were still engaged came into question in recent weeks amid reports Sweeney was living separately from Davino, a businessman who has been linked to the actress since 2018. An insider then shared that their relationship has been rocky for a long time.
A source now tells PEOPLE on Monday, March 31 that Sweeney, 27, has been focusing on work amid the end of her engagement.
Shes exactly where she wants to be. Most people would feel overwhelmed by her working schedule this year, but not Syd. Shes all about working right now and very excited about all her projects, the source says of Sweeney.
Not only does the Emmy-nominated star have a new season of Euphoria in the works, but shell lead a movie adaptation of The Housemaid bestseller plus portray real-life boxer Christy Martin and screen star Kim Novak in upcoming projects.
The source says, What did make her overwhelmed though was her relationship and her wedding. She didnt feel right about it. Sweeney is in the middle of this magical career that she could only dream of a few years ago, therefore, This is what she wants to focus on right now.
Shes not ready to settle down, the source says. They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didnt split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.
Reps for Sweeney and Davino did not respond to PEOPLEs requests for comment.
[From People]
?They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off.? Ouch!! I think it?s true though Davino grabbed her when she was truly up-and-coming and before she really became a household name. This was probably her first real-deal adult relationship and you know how difficult it can be to break off those kinds of situations, especially because they were together for so many years and complacency sets in, etc. Anyway, I hope Glen paid a lot of attention to her at his sister?s wedding!

| | Nicole Kidman's greatest gift to a friend ' 'a bunch of my own wild roses' | | Added 44 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

It is such a joy to see Nicole Kidman at this moment in her career. She makes gutsy choices in projects, and she?s on a mission to champion emerging filmmakers, especially women. Having been a fan since way back, it?s particularly gratifying to see Nicole completely out of the shadow ? and power vacuum ? of Tom Cruise. Even when she won her Oscar in 2003, and she was working as much as she is now, you could tell that she was still sad. But now she just seems like she?s having a ball, she?s worked with almost everyone in Hollywood, and she?s happy to accept her flowers. She?s also happy to give her flowers, as she just told People Mag. Nicole was doing promotion alongside costars Matthew Macfadyen and Gael Garca Bernal for their new thriller, Holland, when a discussion of tulips in the film led Nicole to share that she grows her own wild roses. And if you?re an extremely super special friend, the best gift she can bestow is a bunch fresh from her garden.
Nicole Kidman has a thoughtful gift reserved only for the ?super special? people in her life.
The Oscar winner is surrounded by tulips as the star of the new thriller Holland, about a meticulous homemaker whose perfect life is upended when she suspects her husband is up to no good.
Kidman, 57, tells PEOPLE in an interview alongside her costars Matthew Macfadyen and Gael Garca Bernal. ?I love giving flowers, but I like growing them in the garden. I grow roses. My greatest gift to someone can be a bunch of my own wild roses.?
?So if you get that, it means you?re super special. There?s only a few of them though,? she adds, as Succession alum Macfadyen, 50, calls the gesture ?lovely.?
Her favorite flowers at the moment are tulips and daffodils, she says, and she?s also fond of fragrant varieties, like night-blooming jasmine, honeysuckle, gardenias, hyacinths and lilacs. The list goes on. ?I?d like to have a flower shop,? she says with a smile.
The trio?s twisty new thriller goes to some dark places, though they agree things stayed light on set.
?I think the darker the subject matter is, sometimes the more fun on set it is,? explains Macfadyen. ?Naturally, actors sort of play against how grim, or otherwise, the material is. Sometimes when you?re doing comedy, it?s quite serious. Everyone?s like, ?Is this funny???
?Yeah, that?s true,? agrees Kidman, who adds, ?But this is such an interesting tone, because it?s got that really dark humor, but it?s very? how it presents, it?s like a package with a big bow and then you unwrap it and you?re like, ?Oh!??
[From People]
I agree that giving flowers is one of the greatest gifts you can confer. In fact, when I was a little tyke at JCC, after learning about the 10 Commandments we were all asked to come up with a commandment of our own, and mine was: ?You should give people flowers.? My efforts are slightly less thoughtful than Nicole?s, though, since I don?t grow my own (I consistently kill plants and flowers, sigh). And speaking of, I can?t believe Nicole has the time to tend to her own garden! Is this in Tennessee? Are roses that hearty that they can survive global indie film schedules? And yet I still can?t keep a bloom alive in the apartment I?m in everyday? Also, who do we think has gotten one of these super special bunches? The only name I feel completely confident about is Naomi Watts.
As for Holland, it?s out now on Amazon Prime, and it?s at the top of my list for what to watch next. Every shot of Nicole in one of those Dutch Bonnets absolutely slays me. Plus she?s got that slightly psycho look in her eyes that?s giving me To Die For vibes ? I still think that movie is one of her best performances, ever. Only where Suzanne Stone was a cool character, Holland?s Nancy Vandergroot seems ready to burst in spectacularly unhinged fashion. I also feel, based on nothing more than the trailer, that a clog shoe may end up being a murder weapon.

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps are an odd couple, yes? I don?t know them personally, obviously, but Michelle comes across as the quiet introvert who reads poetry, whereas Busy is the loud extrovert who reads People. Both are valid! You just kind of wonder what sparked the connection. Oh wait, I think I can start to answer my own question: they both share a tough, hustler core, from starting their respective showbiz careers as teenagers. Michelle often gets painted with a delicate persona, but she did legally emancipate herself at 15 in order to get more acting work. That takes some grit! Anyway, Busy is out promoting a new collaboration ? with California Pizza Kitchen, where she worked as a teen before being cast in Freaks and Geeks ? and she took a moment to wax poetic on the blessing of having a friend who?s been through thick and thin with her for 25 years:
?We just know each other and get each other in such a deep, fundamental way at this point,? the ?Girls5eva? star tells Page Six exclusively in a new interview.
Philipps notes that the pair have grown up together and ?been there through so many different moments in each other?s lives,? from the ?really wonderful ones? to those they thought they ?might never, ever recover from.?
She adds, ?When you have a friend like that, you?re blessed. Thats all you can really ever hope for in this life.?
Philipps, 45, and Williams, 44, met as co-stars on the sudsy ?90s and ?00s teen drama ?Dawson?s Creek? and have been BFFs ever since.
In fact, the ?Cougar Town? star is often the Oscar nominee?s plus-one at industry events.
?It makes it fun,? Williams told us at the 2022 Gotham awards.
?These things can be a little ? I don?t know if you ever really get used to being on a red carpet. It?s a little overwhelming, but then all of a sudden, I look over and see this gal, and I know whatever happens, we?re going to have a great time and laugh.?
Long before the duo were regular fixtures at Hollywood events, though, Philipps worked as a hostess at California Pizza Kitchen from the age of 15 until she landed her starring role in ?Freaks and Geeks.?
The former ?Busy Tonight? host swears she never grew tired of scarfing down the chain?s food ? not even while flying to the ?Dawson?s Creek? set in North Carolina.
?There was a CPK in the airport in Charlotte, and I would get my BBQ chicken pizza and eat it there on my layover,? she tells Page Six. ?And then I would get two of the Thai crunch salads and take them to Wilmington, and me and Michelle would eat it for lunch the next day.?
And so, Philipps freaked out when she got a call about teaming up with CPK again in honor of its 40th anniversary this year.
?The ad agency couldn?t believe that I knew the names of the CPK founders off the top of my head,? she shares with a laugh. ?I was like, ?Guys, I worked here for years!??
[From Page Six]
I gotta say, I was sorry E! gave up on Busy Tonight so fast. I think Busy is so well-suited to being an entertainment talk show host; she?s worked in the industry, knows how to laugh at herself and make others in the conversation comfortable, and she?s not afraid to dig into big topics. Also? Still knowing the founders names for CPK (or as we call the chain in my family, CaPiKi) 30 years later is crazy! As for her friendship with Michelle, they really have been through everything together. Marriages, babies, divorces, deaths, and attending Academy Awards. (Though Busy did get booted for Michelle?s recent nomination in 2023, when Michelle went with her husband instead.) For her part, Michelle should have ample opportunity to return the friend love to Busy, as she?s ramping up promotion for her new FX series, Dying For Sex, that comes out on Friday. I?m coming up on 20 years of friendship with my bestie, and yeah, there is no intimacy quite like it. Of course we?ve had plenty of fights, along with a few bouts of not speaking, but he?s still the first person I want to do things with, and he makes me laugh harder than anyone else. I?ve come to believe that finding your match in humor is really important.

Here?s a question I?m sure plagues most brides: is it better to go into space before or after your wedding? So much goes into planning the big day, I?d think a lot of people would opt for waiting to play astronaut until after. But Lauren Snchez is not most people. When others say formal winter attire, Lauren hears uncovered bustier. So naturally the noted journalist, bestselling author, pilot, entrepreneur, philanthropist, chairperson, and future Mrs. Bezos, is going the other way (as in, away from Earth), and squeezing in an aerospace flight ahead of her nuptials. Fresh off of the confirmation this week that Lauren and Jeff are marrying in Venice this summer, Blue Origin (the groom?s company) has just announced their first all-woman space mission is set to blastoff on April 14. How do we know they?re all set to launch? Because they?ve got the official mission patch graphic!
Blue Origin is ready to send several superstars to space.
The launch date for the upcoming flight, which will include Katy Perry, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguy?n, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Snchez, was confirmed this week.
New Shepard?s NS-31 11th human flight will be Monday, April 14.
It will lift off from Launch Site One in West Texas. The New Shepard launch window opens at 8:30 a.m. CDT / 13:30 UTC.
Additionally, Blue Origin released the NS-31 mission patch.
Per the company, a few of the key symbols embedded include:
The target star symbolizes Aisha Bowe?s ambition for setting big goals, passion for STEM, and commitment to inspiring future generations.
The scales of justice symbolize Amanda Nguy?n?s efforts to advocate for civil rights, break barriers, and empower everyday people to create change.
The shooting star microphone represents Gayle King?s commitment to sharing important stories with the world.
The firework symbolizes Katy Perry?s global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy.
The film reel symbolizes Kerianne Flynn?s passion for filmmaking, storytelling, and crafting beautiful narratives.
Flynn the Fly, the main character in Lauren Snchez?s bestselling children?s book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, is along for the ride. The story is about overcoming adversity, inspiring kids with learning differences to pursue their dreams.
[From Just Jared]
Real talk: how likely is it that the designer of that mission patch got paid an astronomically higher fee than anyone makes at Amazon? Also, ?The firework symbolizes Katy Perry?s global influence across music, pop culture, and philanthropy,? made me chuckle. Why not just say it?s a nod to her song?! Katy was recently confirmed to be on Lauren and Jeff?s wedding guest list, as was Gayle King. So my next question is: is New Shepard NS-31 the bachelorette party? If so, I hope the invites said, ?Will be out of this world!? (I know, I know, I?m hilarious.) In all seriousness, I hope the flight runs smoothly and safely, and that all women aboard make it back in time for the wedding? and the rest of their lives. The recent spate of layoffs at Blue Origin has me worried, which probably won?t go away until after this whole unnecessary joyride once in a lifetime experience is over. And on top of that, the takeoff is in West Texas, currently battling an entirely preventable measles outbreak. The world is so fun right now.

Jessica Simpson is sort of single. Jessica is separated from her husband Eric Johnson, and there?s been a slow-moving estrangement for the better part of six months or so. She?s now living in Nashville, while Eric is seemingly still based in LA. Neither of them has gone scorched earth so far, but again, no one has filed for divorce and everything seems like it?s in limbo. Now, if you told me that Jessica was already acting like she was divorced, I would believe you. That?s absolutely her vibe, from what little we?ve seen of her new life in Nashville. I also wouldn?t be surprised if we eventually learned that Jessica or Eric (or both) cheated. Well, in any case, it looks like Jessica is trying to get Jeremy Renner?s attention. Jessica and Jeremy have known each other socially for years, but they?re both single-ish right now, so Jess is shooting her shot.
She?s single and ready to mingle. Jessica Simpson was caught leaving flirty comments on Jeremy Renner?s workout videos following her split from her husband, Eric Johnson. Earlier this month, netizens noticed that the ?With You? singer, 44, left a fire emoji underneath an Instagram video of the ?Hawkeye? star, 54, shirtless in a gym. While Renner didn?t reply to the praise, he notably ?liked? the comment.
Then, over the weekend, Simpson left another message below a clip of the actor exercising with his mother, Valerie Cearley. Renner, once again, ditched his shirt in the clip as he and his mom completed an ab circuit in a garage. ?I love this oh my?Mama is STRONG?I need to go do sit ups now ,? the ?Irresistible? singer wrote.
Simpson has ?liked? nearly all of Renner?s posts since late January ? the same month she confirmed her separation from Johnson, 45. The ?Avengers? star returned the love following the release of Simpson?s new EP, ?Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1.? After the fashion designer dropped the country project last week, Renner commented on her announcement, ?Congrats Jess !!! .?
The back-and-forth comes 15 years after the two first sparked romance rumors. Back in 2010, People reported that Renner and Simpson had been spotted ?flirting up a storm? at a cocktail party. ?Jeremy spent the night hitting on Jessica like crazy,? a spy told the magazine at the time, also claiming the stars had exchanged numbers at the event. However, the ?Hurt Locker? actor later denied reports that they were dating.
[From Page Six]
I absolutely believe Jeremy hit on Jessica in 2010. Did she say anything about him in her memoir? I don?t think so, but imagine what would have happened if they had really tried something back then. As for this current thing? it reads like two people testing the waters. Well, Jessica is being pretty obvious about it she is, as I said, shooting her shot. Jeremy is more like? well, maybe, let?s see. The fact that Jessica is liking every one of his posts too! LOL.

Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino got together when she was about 20 years old and he was in his 30s. They got engaged at some point, and Sydney has said, in interviews, that she really wants to get married and have babies. Of course, she also has more professional hustle than most of her generational peers. So people have always felt like Sydney should dump Davino and spend her 20s on herself and her career. Well? it might be happening? Earlier this week, there were rumors going around about Sydney moving out of the home she shared with Davino (a home she bought!!) and living in a hotel. She also deleted at least one photo of Davino from her IG (but Davino barely appears on her IG anyway). In any case, sources now say that Sydney has called off the wedding (but not the engagement?) and that Davino has been stressing her out.
Sydney Sweeney and her fianc Jonathan Davino have called off their wedding as the couple faces ?major issues? in their relationship, a source told Us Weekly.
?Sydney and Jonathan have been having major issues but are not fully split,? the insider said on Wednesday. ?Things are not great right now, but they aren?t throwing in the towel yet. They are working on their relationship but have called off the wedding for now.?
The source went on to share that all wedding plans have since come ?to a halt? and they ?aren?t having further discussions about it.? Sweeney and Davino, who began dating in 2018, were ?supposed to get married this spring.?
?Sydney wanted to cancel everything and couldn?t handle the stress,? the insider shared.
Sweeney?s ?extremely busy? career allegedly ?caused tension? in their romance.
?Sydney is really focused on her career. Jonathan wishes they were able to spend more quality time together,? the source continued. ?Things are also always tense between them when she is promoting a movie because she has to give her full attention to the project, and people always speculate about their relationship and Sydney being close to her costars,? the insider went on. They also noted that ?it?s a tough dynamic for Jonathan.?
[From Page Six]
I noted in an earlier post that this gossip does not seem to be associated with any current project for Sydney. As in, she?s not promoting anything right now, she?s just working on back-to-back projects. Which gives these reports some legitimacy. I think she genuinely might be phasing out Davino. Interesting. Also: I looked through recent photos of Sydney, and Davino hasn?t been around for a few months. She went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party solo and networked like a champ. She went to Paris Fashion Week solo to rep Miu Miu. The last time it looks like Sydney and Jonathan were out together was January. Hm.

| | Angelina Jolie discusses how Atelier Jolie has evolved into' a non-profit art charity | | Added 49 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |
|
|
|
|
|
In 2023, Angelina Jolie started Atelier Jolie. She signed an eight-year lease on Jean-Michel Basquiat?s old workspace/living space, and she dreamed of transforming the building into a half-business/half-charity which would provide resources and attention for refugee designers and creators. Originally, the idea was based on fashion as in, bring in refugee creatives to design eco-conscious clothing lines and capsule collections. They did that for more than a year, but it looks like that idea has been partially abandoned. Now the building is partly devoted to a cafe (Eat Offbeat) and a more freewheeling arts-and-advocacy space in which important discussions are facilitated, lectures are given and also, Angelina is now providing gallery space for artists? From Jolie?s interview/profile in the NY Times this week:
The original vision for Atelier Jolie: For a little over a year, she has endeavored to build Atelier Jolie into a hub for artists and makers ? and chefs, students and Broadway stars. The building comes with an almost unparalleled artistic pedigree: 57 Great Jones Street was once owned by Andy Warhol, and inhabited by Jean-Michel Basquiat, who had his studio there until his death in 1988. Jolie?s dream was for the space to once again be a cultural locus, a clubhouse full of inspired and international creatives, and also a magnet for a curious public ? to come and browse, take a class, refuel with a slice of orange almond cake at the global-cuisine cafe, Eat Offbeat. It did not immediately work out as she envisioned. ?It?s been tricky,? she said in a recent interview. ?I found that this has been a lot of what not to do.?
Atelier Jolie is no longer about fashion: Its initial incarnation was as a pop-up fashion studio for visiting designers, ?because I think the world?s most interested in that,? she said. ?People focus on fashion. But, it was very quickly clear to me that that wasn?t going to be my love,? in part because she rejected the environmental impact of the typical fashion cycle ? water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, landfill-fueling consumption. ?I don?t want to tell people that they need to buy something new every few months.?
Now she?s giving away space to artists for free: So she pivoted, expanding her web and sharing the rarest New York commodity: square footage. For free. The French multimedia artist Prune Nourry, who helped organize the Neshat event as part of an exhibition called ?Strand for Women,? has become the atelier?s artist-in-residence, with a second-floor studio where she expects to sculpt sometimes mammoth works over the next two years.
Angelina is a connector: In her circles, she is known as a connector, who is quick to open her home, offer help and learn one-on-one; she has painted, danced and attended silk-screening, felting and cooking classes at Atelier Jolie. ?I wanted a place where I could spend time with local artists,? she said. She hoped to conjure the vibe of a film set, she said, especially one with a crew from the far-flung corners of the world: ?You can feel that feeling of being purposeful with others.?
How Atelier Jolie is classified: Atelier Jolie, a for-profit public benefit corporation (a certified B Corp) with the goal of social good, is not charging Invisible Dog any rent for its yearlong residency. In Brooklyn, the gallery needed $500,000 annually ?just to open the door,? Zayan said, and regularly held fund-raisers. Now donations can support work directly. ?We?re doing well, and we?re building a new model, Jolie said of the financial prospects of Atelier Jolie, which has an eight-year lease on the building. Zayan aims to make it a destination for downtown and beyond, just as Invisible Dog was in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn. And Jolie has been an eager partner. They communicate almost daily, he said. ?When you email her, you never know where she is, what time zone, but she answers you immediately. She?s very involved.?
How she came to Basquiat?s old building: Jolie loved the squat, sprayed-up building (which had recently housed a restaurant) when she first saw it in 2023 with one of her daughters. ?I wasn?t interested in being on the Upper East Side,? she said, explaining why she sought out the downtown neighborhoods she had wound through in her 20s, while studying film at New York University. But, she said, ?I was also intimidated by the history.? She got in touch with Basquiat?s sisters, who gave the atelier their blessing, and turn up at events. In conversations this month, Jolie seemed frustrated that the atelier was viewed as another exclusive downtown boutique. ?The act of creation should be accessible to everyone,? she said.
Where she stays when she?s in NYC: She was speaking from a Manhattan hotel room; the New York apartment she bought in her 20s is now inhabited by one of her sons, and is a crash pad for his five siblings. Mom is welcome ? sometimes. ?The other day I said I was going to pop by, and he was like, can you just give me a day to clean?? she said. ?I thought, I appreciate that, you should clean up for your mother. But also, how bad is it??
[From The NY Times]
?A for-profit public benefit corporation (a certified B Corp)? ah, well that sort of explains why it feels like Angelina is not interested in turning this into any kind of profit-generating anything. She came up with the concept of Atelier Jolie shortly after she finally sold her half of Chateau Miraval. As in, she found herself with $60 million and it was burning a hole in her pocket, so she put this together. That?s what it feels like too, that Angelina is just paying for everything and running the space as a not-for-profit art charity. It?s a shame too while I love that she?s doing this, I also wish Gen Xer Jolie would participate in ?hustle culture? a little bit, and just find a way to turn this into a revenue-generator. Sell Atelier Jolie merch, bring in creatives to make cool t-shirts which can be sold in the gift shop, SOMETHING. It?s giving ?rich woman becomes a patron to the arts? but Jolie thinks she?s reinventing the wheel.

To my knowledge, Pedro Pascal has never put a label on his sexuality or spoken about anything other than love and respect for the LGBTQ community. We know he has long-standing friendships with men like Oscar Isaac, as well as long-standing friendships with women like his bestie Sarah Paulson. For red carpets, he usually brings his sister as his date. So? again, he?s never confirmed anything either way and that?s fine, he?s not hiding anything, he?s just not discussing anything. But in the absence of information, something steps into that vacuum. That something is Jennifer Aniston:
