Jennifer Aniston will finally come face-to-face with ex Brad Pitt and his current love Angelina Jolie - at an Oscars party called "A night for Unity". Since splitting three years ago, Brad and Jen have been at pains to keep apart, with Friends star Aniston particularly wary of bumping into Angelina. But now amazingly the trio are listed as hosts for a pre-Oscar party called 'The Night Before'.
The invitation for the poolside party reads: "A night for Unity, Taking Care of Our Own."
Insiders believe the meeting could lead to a divide in guests almost like at a school disco. On one side will be Aniston's friends like Ben Stiller and Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer. On the other will be Brad and Angie's pals like George Clooney, Don Cheadle, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Matt Damon.
But some are concerned that it will get messy, according to U.S. reports. "Brad is prepared for a knockdown, drag-out fight," a source told Star magazine in the U.S. "But he's hoping for the best."
According to Star, Jen was shocked when she heard her ex and his new love were to join her as co-hosts - but she is refusing to back down as she has been involved in the annual gala for several years. "Jennifer is furious - but she is also scared stiff because she's scared of Angelina" a source told Star. "She vowed to never, ever meet Angelina face-to-face. Now she's being forced to.
"If she backs out, she looks like a chicken.
"She's trapped."
But Jolie is said to be completely calm about the whole thing. "She's not intimidated by Jen," a source said. "If Jen is nice, Angie will be nice. If Jen is mean, Angie will let her have it."
And anyway, everyone assumed Angie will be getting enough attention as it is amid the rumours she is pregnant with twins. "Everyone will be looking at her bump and asking her how she feels," a party insider said. "She'll be the belle of the ball.
