Just where did this, for want of a better descriptor, THING come from? Why am I expected to think these two particular actors are so special that they get a name for their marriage?
I confess that as a curmudgeon, I am not at the forefront of keeping up with hot new movie stars, but these two can't really be our #1 can they? When I first heard the term "Brangelina," I had to go looking for who they were, having never registered seeing them before. I have since seen them in a few movies and honestly still find them quite forgettable.
Apparently the marriage-challenged in this country endlessly hunger for stories about star marriages (think of all we heard about Gable & Lombard, Burton & the Shrew, even a manufactured heterosexual romance for Rock Hudson) and star private lives. This is, of course, twaddle, but it entertains the dimwitted and gets them to buy National Enquirers in the grocery lines.
Although, one does pine for a happy life for Jennifer Aniston...
