Last week, it seemed like Jennifer Aniston was on top yet again with a tabloid-friendly relationship with the hot new breakout movie star Bradley Cooper. Star Magazine even put them on the cover with the enthusiastic “It’s On!” headline. So when Bradley gave the old “Jennifer Aniston is just a friend” speech in Paris last weekend, many of us were already predicting the headlines. Something along the lines of today’s National Enquirer headline “Jennifer Aniston Love Implosion”. And that was probably written before Bradley even took Renee Zellweger out on a “date” on Tuesday! Personally, I think the guy’s just playing the serial first-dater because he’s got something or someone in his personal life that he doesn’t want to make public. But maybe that’s just me – I am a conspiratorial bitch. The Enquirer’s take on the whole situation… well, I don’t really believe their story, but it still made me laugh out loud. Wait ’till you get to the part about Jennifer’s “relationship timeline”.
Jen’s new relationship pffft before it even starts! It’s back to zero minus one in the dating game for Jennifer Aniston.
After she gave Bradley Cooper her “relationship timeline” speech over an intimate dinner, the Hangover hunk slammed the brakes on their budding romance, sources say.
“Jen is devastated,” divulged a longtime friend. “She had high hopes that Bradley was the Mr. Right she’s been searching for.
“But he called Jen a few days after their big date and broke the news that he wanted to keep things casual and loose. Jen was mortified, but reluctantly agreed to save face.”
The 40-year-old actress and Bradley, 34, had been flirting ever since they shared a dinner date at his Brentwood, Calif., home while they filmed the romantic comedy He’s Just Not That Into You in 2007.
Still, Coop publicly blasted rumors he was dating Jen as “hilarious.” Despite that, the couple sat down for a headline-making date at New York’s Il Cantinori restaurant in New York City on June 18.
“Jen gave Bradley her ‘relationship timeline’ speech over dinner, about how she wants to be pregnant within the year and for marriage to follow soon after,” explained the friend.
That was a deal breaker for the actor, whose 11-month marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito collapsed in 2007.
“He called Jen after he returned to L.A. a few days later, and told her flat out that he thought it best that they go back to being friends. Bradley said he’s not looking for any type of commitment.”
The next day, “Jen was withdrawn. She’d been up crying to her girlfriends about how she feels her love life is doomed,” the insider revealed.

I think a lot of negative things about Aniston, but I don’t believe she’s dumb enough to give a guy a “relationship timeline” on the first date. I just have serious doubts she would sit there and tell a guy to his face, “I want to be pregnant within the next year, and then we’re going to get married, and Norman will be the ring-bearer!” Although that would be a hilarious plot for one of these stupid romantic comedies she’s always making – someone write that down. We could call it The First Dater. The tagline for the film would “She wants babies and marriage… on the first date!”
