Friend: Angelina Would Back Jen in Bill-O Battle
Jennifer Aniston has a friend in
Angelina Jolie when it comes to her war of words with FOX News host Bill O'Reilly, who shocked many Tuesday night by calling the actress
"destructive to society" for saying women don't need men to be good mothers, a friend of Mrs. Pitt tells me.
"Angie would totally defend Jennifer on this," the friend says. "She agrees with Jennifer that a woman doesn't need a man to start a family to be a good mother. For Bill to take issue with this statement is him taking issue with every single parent in the world."
Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, raised Angie after her famous father, Jon Voight, left them for another woman. Plus, Angie adopted her first son, Maddox, when she was single, long before Brad came into the picture.
Relationship expert
Matt Titus agrees, telling me, "Bill O' Reilly, the crotchety FOX blowhard, couldn't be more out of touch with the modern definition of a nuclear family. Very often, 'the non-committal' attitude of the modern male leaves the modern woman with no choice but to seek out positive and 'non-traditional' alternatives of creating families. Women do not need to wait for the perfect guy to have the perfect child."
Critics have already jumped in to argue that while O'Reilly's way of thinking is bunk and out of touch, he also miscalculates Aniston's influence on teens and young women.
"I don't think 12 or 13 year-olds are paying attention to what Jennifer Aniston says or even know who she is, for that matter," Beth Feldman, founder of
RoleMommy.com, tells me. "If Demi Lovato or Miranda Cosgrove started tossing around comments about single motherhood, we would all have something to worry about. Jen's message is meant for thirty- and forty-something women who haven't yet met the love of their life -- and she's right on target."
O'Reilly challenged Jennifer to be a guest on his show to defend her statement, however, sources tell me that isn't going to happen. But if Bill has paved the way for Jennifer and Angelina to agree on something, it would be foolish to deny the power of Bill.

Sorry, guys, if you heard exactly what Bill had to say it was that her statement negated the need for a male role model in a child's life. That's what he has the issue with, not the fact that women are capable of being good single mothers. By saying women don't need men to be parents, it is down-grading a father's role in a child's life. That's it.

Jen A. has been talking babies for years now. How very many men has she been with? No baby. She'll do anything to be in the news. So Pathetic. (Anyone ever noticed how Ja's quiet, then Angelina has a mnvie to promote & guess who's everywhere doing
ANything for attention???) Pathetic. I wish her well, but she really needs help.

no rl I never noticed.........Jennifer doesnt need Angie or Brad to have the mags talk about her.the papps are always following her. I can also say have u ever noticed how Angie is trying to copy Jen's style of dressing, and not looking good in it, so what. Jen is right not to have children until she is ready and from any interview I have seen her in , when asked the question she always says "yes , sure someday I would like to have a child ". not I am going to have one today.......when she is ready for children she will have them, I think the most selfish thing she could do is have a child and not be ready for it. she is smart,having a child to please others is not a good thing.

Do people enjoy distorting everything any conservative says? He didn't say women couldn't be good mothers without a man, not at any point at any time. Frankly, he said there were a lot of single women who do wonderful job raising their children. He simply disagrees that a child is better off with just a mother, and all statistics prove him right, by the way. Angelina would back O'Reilly because she's not stupid. She was raising a kid by herself and she saw first- hand and spoke about it frequently, how much having a father figure enriched Mad's life.

Sort of don't agree with Bill O'Reilly, but think Jen Aniston should get a life. She is a phony with a capital P. Wonder why she gets so much positive press while still slamming Angelina as does the press. Maybe she sues everyone quietly. Wonder why that picture of the back of her walking with her last boyfriend who had his middle finger up her butt crack suddenly disappeared. Guess it showed that she really wasn't the "goodie-goodie" that she says she is as she continues to slam Angelina. Remember when she called Angelina "holie"?????? Jen should shut up, stop posing all over the place as the hot goodie gal, and go away for a while. Those really nice guys out there don't want a spoiled brat like her..........

Someone in the O'Reilly camp needs to learn how to fact check. When did Angelina Joli and Brad Pitt get married so the she is "Mrs. Pitt)? I guess that is how it was written in his lower colon while his head was up there.
