Jennifer Aniston used to go out with Brad Pitt, but she still dines with his mom on Christmas.

Jennifer Aniston supposedly stole the coveted #1 spot at the box office this past Christmas from her much publicized ex hubby, Brad Pitt. Both movies opened right on Christmas Day. Jennifer’s movie, Marley & Me, co-starring cutie pie Owen Wilson, beat out Brad’s movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, forcing it to take the #2 spot.

This got me wondering if Jennifer was a bit tempted to rub it in Brangelina’s face (just a bit)? I mean who could blame her if she did? After all, it could be done with her usual wit and style without being too over the top obvious. Couldn’t it? Maybe her next year’s Christmas cards could be reminiscent of the year past and depict Jennifer and Owen smiling happily with their arms wrapped around each other in front of the movie theater; the line behind them showing her movie sold out in bright lights at the ticket booth with, sadly, no line at all for Brad’s movie.

Or better yet, Jennifer could send out Christmas cards featuring a photo of her dining with Jane Pitt, Brad’s mother, for Christmas dinner. That’s right, according to Star Magazine, Angelina went nuts after finding out that dear Jane invited Jen (who is apparently still on friendly terms with Brad’s mom) to Christmas dinner! Now that certainly puts old Brad into a rather difficult position come the holidays. Maybe the Pitt-Jolie family will decide to embrace Jen and include her in their own holiday photo cards this year. After all, with all those kids who would even notice one extra face at the family dinner table?

Seriously though, there are few things I enjoy better than getting to see some real life snippets showing real celebrity life. I would love to know how to get on a celebrity Christmas cards mailing list. It doesn’t necessarily have to be of the Brad or Jen celebrity caliber. Although, I must admit I would love get my hands on Paris Hilton holding her pet pooch so I could proudly display it on my refrigerator directly above Aunt Bessie’s annual Christmas card featuring her five cats and poodle, Grinchy. You see, Grinchy is appropriately named for trying to eat your fingers off if you so much as step near her pink rhinestone-studded food dish as she nibbles of some fillet Mignon while I am being served a cheeseburger.

Well I don’t know for certain if Jennifer Aniston will use her holiday cards as a vehicle for revenge or not, knowing Jen, or not knowing her as the case may be. I’m sure she will do the Jen-like thing and send her cards out not with malice in her heart but with a cheerful smirk.

Spoof Christmas cards from John Mayer...in DayGlo

Okay, so John Mayer didn’t really send this design out as his Christmas cards (as far as I know), but being he is a legendary ladies’ man and wannabe comedian, I’m guessing this wouldn’t be too out of the question for him.

I didn’t think John was old enough to have partaken in the 80s DayGlo fashion fiasco, so I had to investigate this further. It turns out the photo was taken on a three day Caribbean cruise that Mayer hosted for his fans last year called the “The Mayercraft Carrier.”  The cruise featured sets by John in a nightclub setting and performances by a dozen or so other artists. Mayer was actually seen jogging around deck in this outfit which was described as a “Borat” thong. You’ll have to google that on your own if you want to see the full length photos, boys and girls, as this is a family friendly site! Boy, I guess you could say he really gives his fans their money’s worth. What would Jennifer Aniston think if she saw this? Or maybe she has seen it and this is what inspired her recent GQ cover photo wearing nothing but a tie?

For those not familiar with John Mayer or don’t recognize him from this photo, he is best known for hit songs like Waiting On The World To Change and Your Body is a Wonderland, both of which earned him Grammy Awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Featured on their February 2007 cover entitled “New Guitar Gods,” Rolling Stone called John Mayer “Slowhand Jr.,” a reference to legendary guitarist Eric Clapton.  And in May of that same year, he was listed in TIME Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People of the Year. Let’s just hope that influence doesn’t extend to fashion trends.
