People are still talking about Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux’s rings. It seemed like as soon as they got together, officially and publicly, they were wearing matching gold rings. I didn’t really think anything of it, because, really, who cares? Rings don’t mean much, and I rarely look at them on anyone. It’s possible for two people to just have similar rings, or to give someone a ring and not have it mean anything important. Anyway, this ring-obsession is the focus of a new story. Apparently, the giant diamond ring Aniston sported for several of her Horrible Bosses appearances means that she and Justin are “pre-engaged.” It also means, in my opinion, that they are 13 years old. Pre-engaged? Seriously? You’re in your 40s. Stop with the cutesy high school crap.

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux are intoxicated with their love for each other. Ok Magazine reports that friends close to the 42-year-old actress have never seen her so happy and that the happy couple may wed by ‘summer’s end’! “They’re kind of pre-engaged,” a friend of Jen’s tells the magazine. “We keep saying, ‘whats with the rings? It’s only been a few weeks!’ But she says it feels right.” Jen was spotted wearing a gold ring with her name on it in June and shortly after Justin was sporting the exact same one! Then at the Horrible Bosses premiere, Jen wore a huge diamond ring — she hadn’t worn a ring on her left hand since her divorce from Brad Pitt in 2005! The freshly shaven and newly clean cut actor has reportedly been transformed inside and out by Jen. “He has always been somewhat cynical and pessimistic,” the source adds. “But he has a happy, upbeat vibe now, like he’s a better version of himself … Justin shaved his scruffy beard; he’s gone from looking like a dirty biker to a leading man. The motorcycle boots have been replaced by Gucci shoes. Jen has been spoiling him with facials and pedicures.” The wedding might happen at Justin’s favorite secret getaway — the Hawaiian island of Kauai. “It’s the place Justin’s always dreams of getting married — it’s the perfect place to tie the knot.”

First: this is not the first time Aniston has worn a big diamond ring on her left hand since her divorce. She did this with Vince Vaughn during the promotion of The Break-Up. Allegedly, Vince was pissed that she was trying to start engagement rumors.

Second: “Jen has been spoiling him with facials and pedicures.” Hahaha SELLOUT. What happened to Justin? I thought he was SO HARDCORE. Now he’s Aniston’s spa buddy and they gossip about Brangelina as they do each other’s hair. It also sounds like Aniston might want a girlfriend more than a boyfriend, right?

Third: It actually wouldn’t surprise me if they were engaged, pre or otherwise. I don’t think this is going to last longterm, but I think they’ll make it through the year, and at least past the Oscars, and if they’re going on that long, I suspect we’ll be hearing many more “engagement rumors”.
