Team Aniston beats Team Brangelina at the box office!
It's official. Jennifer Aniston trumped Brad Pitt at the box office over Christmas.
Her film, "Marley & Me," beat Pitt's Oscar-bound "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
Or rather, a movie about a loveable, troublemaking dog trumped a complex movie about a man who is born old and gets younger and better-looking as everyone around him gets really old, wrinkly, saggy and unattractive, including Cate Blanchett.
Go figure...
Wanna bet someone is raising a glass of champagne right about now?
Wonder if Brad will make the congratulatory phone call?

Neither looks happy in that pix, they knew the end was near. I'm sure that Brad was too busy with Angie and the six kids to call anyone. Probably still cleaning up all the Christmas wrapping paper.
I just wonder why so many people have dogs named Marley? It's like the Spot of the new millenium, and now Aniston is cliche'ing it.
Only thing sweeter than watching Jennifer trump Brad @ the box office would be to see Brad cheat on Angelina.
That pic sure reflects the "dead end" Brad was talking about in his LATimes article. Call??He's still waiting for congrats on Shiloh and the twins births!
Maybe this will help her 3 other movies yet to be released. How much do you want to bet there will be a Marley and Me 2?
