It is more than clear that the two scrumptious looking women (Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston) are not fond of each other, and for an obvious reason called Brad Pitt. But can’t they act hypocritical, sorry diplomatic, in the true spirit of Hollywood showbiz celebs?

For more than five years the two have been avoiding one another like the plague. But a few days ago, at the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles they couldn’t do so. Both have been nominated this year for almost every award (Golden Globes, Critics Choice etc) — Jennifer A for Best Actress category and Angelina J for Best Director.

So when they couldn’t look over each other’s shoulder the following happened: during a short break in the Critics Awards ceremony, Mrs Pitt walked past her husband’s ex-wife. The ex-wife, instead of saying hello to the former, moved away from that place, giving more space to Mrs Pitt, suggesting she’s not in the mood for exchanging pleasantries. Everyone there felt the palpable friction. Wow! Isn’t that catty?
