Jennifer Aniston might have insulted Angelina Jolie in public this week, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a good person.

Because she is. Jennifer Aniston’s ‘uncool’ comment about Angelina Jolie just came from the anger of having her husband stolen away by another woman. And, despite that, Jennifer Aniston still has nothing but nice words to say about Brad Pitt. On Oprah. Just before a new film of hers opens. That woman’s a saint.

Jennifer Aniston told Oprah that she thinks Brad Pitt is ‘great’. She harbours no bad feelings towards him, even though they both have movies coming out on the same day. And, in the spirit of good sportsmanship, Jennifer Aniston even refused to say whose film she thought was better – Brad Pitt’s elegant adaptation of a classic F Scott Fitzgerald text, or her own movie about a naughty dog who eats a man’s cake and is funny.

Why won’t Jennifer Aniston stop talking? She’s like one of those women on trains who blabber loudly into their phones for the entire duration of the journey, letting everybody hear one half of a conversation they’re probably having with themselves, whether they like it or not. Only all of Jennifer Aniston’s conversations are either about Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, so they’re obviously very important. Or they’re about John Mayer, so they’re obviously not.

While the speculation over how pregnant she is rages on, Jennifer Aniston has this week opened up about how uncool she thinks Angelina Jolie is for stealing Brad Pitt away from her on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith. By doing so, not only did Jennifer Aniston edge one step closer to the garment-ripping rainstorm catfight with Angelina Jolie that we all is bound to happen at some point, but it also raised questions about whether or not she’ll ever let any of this go.

And that’s why Jennifer Aniston went on Oprah. Oprah Winfrey has always been there for Jennifer Aniston, giving her a public forum whenever anyone thinks that she’s a nervous wreck or that she’s going to get married to Vince Vaughn, so it was only natural that she’d go on Oprah this week to combat these new rumours about her being so embittered about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that she craps litle black nuggets of pure hatred every morning.

The long and the short of it, Aniston told Oprah, is that she isn’t. What happened in the Vogue interview is that the interviewer asked Jennifer Aniston a question and she answered it. And actually she thinks Brad Pitt is still a hell of guy, even though his The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button movie opens on the same day as her Marley And Me. People reports:

“I basically just answered it as honestly as I could,” Aniston says. The actress has kinder words for ex-husband Brad Pitt, saying, “He’s done some amazing things in the last couple of years. So I just think he’s doing great.” And she doesn’t seem to have any feelings of competition with her ex. “We all want our movie to do well … Can we have a tie?”

Actually that’s very open and brave of Jennifer Aniston. It takes a big person to overcome the hurt of seeing your husband run away with another woman, so she should be congratulated. And she’s right – Brad Pitt has done some amazing things in the last couple of years. He’s starred in some critcally-acclaimed movies, produced Oscar-winning movies, been publicly involved in numerous charitable campaigns and fathered several children, whether through adoption or biological means.

But Jennifer Aniston has done some pretty amazing things too – she’s, um, kissed John Mayer on the lips. And she’s in a film about a funny dog. And, um…
