Brad Defends Angelina

It might not have been "dastardly," but there was definitely an affair between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Although, from what I hear - Jen was pretty hard to be in a relationship with. I don't know if it's because I'm still feeling a little fragile after seeing "Marley & Me" yesterday or if this really is starting to feel like "a million years ago" as Jennifer said on Oprah in December - but I wish we could be done re-hashing the "how and when" of the beginnings of Brad & Angie's love affair. They have 6 kids together now!

BRAD Pitt wants to set one thing straight regarding his wife Angelina Jolie: She's not a homewrecker. "What people don't understand is that we filmed ['Mr. & Mrs. Smith'] for a year. We were still filming after Jen [Aniston] and I split up," he tells W in the annual "A-List" February issue. "Even then it doesn't mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn't. I'm very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful." Aniston might disagree - she called Jolie's comment that the couple fell in love on-set "uncool" - but Pitt downplays any animosity. "Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there's a second round to all that Angie versus Jen. It's so created," he claims. "We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don't see how there cannot be [that]. That's life, man. That's life." The issue hits stands Jan. 20.
