Brad Pitt reportedly arranged a clandestine meeting with ex-wife Jennifer Aniston during his trip to New York late last month. The Daily Mail says:

The pair, who ended their five-year marriage in 2005, met up at a hotel in the city for an hour where Brad told Aniston about his relationship problems with Angelina Jolie.

It comes amid reports that Brad and Jennifer are in regular phone contact and – if true – their latest encounter marks their second private meeting together in the Big Apple this year.

A source [said] that Jennifer agreed to visit Brad in his suite at the Essex House hotel the day after he attended a political conference with former U.S. president Bill Clinton in New York.

If you opened up a “Secret Meeting Motel,” you would make serious coin just from Brad Pitt alone! Dude is always off having these secret meetings with Jennifer Aniston. We’ve all got news for you, Brad! Your secret meetings ain’t so fucking secret, because we’re all reading about them. Anyways . . .   does Jen get to wear a trench coat and hide behind potted plants in the hotel lobby? Because that sounds kind of hot.

While on set of her new movie with Gerard Butler, The Bounty, Jennifer Aniston was caught crying in her trailer. And you’ll never guess why!! I was so shocked!!! New York Post reports:

The unlucky-in-love actress was late coming out of her trailer while filming “The Bounty” with Gerard Butler a few weeks ago. The source tells Page Six that when an assistant went to fetch Aniston, she was in tears, and said, “I need a moment. This scene reminds me of Brad and me.” Aniston pulled herself together and managed to put on a smile when she eventually emerged from her trailer. The insider added, “While she enjoyed flirting with Gerard on set and put a brave face on every day, privately she is still very fragile.”

Thanks insider! Aniston probably sees Brad’s face in potato chips and cries.

Despite being friends with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and David Arquette spent Sunday night hanging out with Brad Pitt after running into him at a concert. Page Six reports:

Cox was at the Wiltern Theater in LA with husband David Arquette for the final stop on rocker Chris Cornell’s Scream album tour when Pitt showed up. Our backstage spy told us, “Instead of ignoring him, Courteney chatted away with Brad all night. The three were in great spirits and seemed really happy to see each other.”

Before everyone goes jumping to conclusions, did it ever occur to anyone that maybe she was helping Jennifer Aniston? It’s called “recon,” dumbasses. Let’s see, did she suspiciously, say, aim her purse at his face the whole time or mayhap lean a pin on her lapel in his direction every time he spoke? They say the best gift a friend can give a friend is a little ex-husband undercover work. I’m pretty sure I learned that by watching “Friends.”
