I have no idea what's been going on inside Jenifer Aniston's brain lately, but judging by the latest signs she's been displaying, it's nothing good. The former "Friends" star hasn't been having an easy life lately - well, she hasn't been having an easy life in a couple of years now - and as much as I hate the whole "pitch Jen against Angie, apply heat and see what happens", I have a feeling Aniston has been under a lot more pressure than we'd like to admit. It all started with the breakup of her marriage, and it was probably uphill from there. Don't get me wrong - I'm not calling Jennifer a victim and I know she can look after herself very well - but still, I have this residual feeling hidden somewhere at the back of my mind that she has been looking for something - or someone - that she still hasn't found.

Of course, seeing Angelina Jolie parade her expanding brood on all possible occasions (all the more so now that she's pregnant again) can't have been easy, either. We all know - and the actress stated this herself many times - that Jennifer really does want a kid of her own, but since Prince Charming is on a tight schedule these days, she decided to freeze her own eggs just in case she might have trouble conceiving later on. "It was a really smart move, because it buys (Jen) a few years to figure it all out. The pressure has lifted" an insider tells Star magazine (via MSNBC). "Her friend Sheryl Crow turned her on to the idea of adopting, but in her heart Jen would like to have her own child. She just needs the right man - someone she can trust", another source stated. "(Jen's) absolutely doing the right thing. She's giving herself a big break from the intense pressure to find Mr. Right and have kids. She's in a good place now".

Well, call me stupid, but I really didn't get the memo in which they said Jennifer Aniston really had to find the right partner and pop out a kid by the time Saturn and Mars are in conjunction and Venus is in the twelfths house or something. All this baby rush, all the "come on, Jen, you can do it, you can trap a guy and make him get you knocked up", it's all getting ridiculous. In the end, of course, Aniston has a right to do whatever she wants with her life and her body. I don't know why, but I have a feeling a story is going to break soon about how Jen broke into Brad Pitt's house, knocked him unconscious, stole his sperm and froze it next to her eggs, just to be on the safe side of things. You know, in case she really doesn't find that Mr. Right. I know, it's just ridiculous... or is it?
