Mother’s Day is a 2016 American romantic comedy film where Jennifer Aniston plays the role of Sandy, who is a happily divorced (and deeply delusional) mother of two. “Mother’s Day” is the rare comedy in which the funniest moments are all unintentional, and hearing Jennifer Aniston sincerely compare a clown’s bottomless hanky to “the bottomless love of a mother for her child” results in the kind of laughter that can’t be engineered.

Breaking News

  • Angelina Jolie/ Brad Pitt/ Jennifer Aniston:

No love triangle in history has gripped us the way Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston’s relationship has. It started in 2005 but we’re all still glued to see where this one is going.

It may have been shortlived, but the five year marriage of America’s Sweethearts Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston was the stuff of rom-coms. The impossibly beautiful couple got married on July 29, 2000 to the delight of their fans and they continued to show every sign of being truly in love—that is right up until Brad Pitt went to work with Angelina Jolie on Mr & Mrs Smith in 2004.  The fairy-tale was over and the couple quickly divorced. It was believed that Brad Pitt cheating on Jennifer Aniston with Angelina Jolie was the reason of divorce.

Before Aniston even filed for divorce, photos of Pitt and Jolie basking on the beach in Kenya emerged giving more evidence to their secret relationship. By Jan. of 2006, Jolie confirmed that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child and the couple would later get engaged in 2012 and marry in 2014.

  • Did Jennifer Aniston Go All Angelina Jolie on Justin Theroux’s Girlfriend?

Some critics of Jennifer Aniston’s relationship with Justin Theroux say that she “stole” boyfriend Justin  from his girlfriend of 14 years, Heidi Bivens. In other words, haters say Jen pulled an Angelina Jolie.

The 42-year-old fell hard for costar Theroux on the Georgia set of Wanderlust last fall, and “nothing was going to get in her way,” Us Weekly reports.

“Jen went after him hard,” a set source says, dishing on how Aniston and Theroux began having secret trysts at her temporary, secluded digs. Charmed by his quick wit, hipster style and impressive screenwriter background, Aniston “overlooked her secret beau’s relationship status.” “Jen wanted Justin and it didn’t matter that he was already with someone,” says the source.

But Justin didn’t go public with Jen until very recently, he and Heidi weren’t married, and there’s no proof of cheating.
