Who Set Up the Angelina Jolie & Jennifer Aniston Oscars Clash?

The tabloids are fill of 'woe is Jennifer Aniston' stories as the weekly magazine's seem to be setting up for the next big payday if Angelina Jolie is really preggers and decides to again sell her next baby's photos. But everyone seems extra excited about some possible showdown at the Night Before pre-Oscar bash this upcoming weekend.

Who Set Up the Angelina Jolie & Jennifer Aniston Oscars Clash?

So who set up the possible showdown and who benefits? Star Magazine claims that in part the meeting was arranged "in part" by "Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the event's main sponsors." I wonder how accurate that is. Angelina and Brad have agreed to co-host the party and might show up and the magazine notes that Jen has been attending the gala for several years, with and without Brad, 44, and she promised to co-host long before her ex and his lover signed on.

Jolie and Pitt seem to pull the Jennifer Aniston arrow out of the quiver anytime they need press and an insider tells Star magazine that "Jennifer is furious." The magazine insider claims that "Jennifer is on good terms with Brad, but she vowed to never, ever meet Angelina face-to-face." In the terms of cities, Hollywood really isn't all that big, especially for the A-listers, and frankly it is a miracle that the threesome have never stumbled into each other before this point.

The boring Oscars show would get a boost for this, if it were on Sunday night. As it is "The Night Before" it seems to do little for the program. Jolie and Pitt have nothing to promote as Jolie was shut out of what many believed would be her big night with an Oscar win for "A Mighty Heart." Aniston is working in a film right now in Canada but she won't benefit either. It will be interesting to see who actually shows up, but other than that, who benefits?
