COVERAWARDS' EXCLUSIVE: OK Stands By Its Jen Aniston Wedding Cover Story

You knew this would happen if you read CoverAwards very early this morning.

OK! magazine released its cover featuring Jen Aniston and I pointed out the rep would most likely deny the story.

And guess who has been working hard on debunking the story?

If you guessed Us Weekly, you are correct. That’s what they do best.

According to Usmagazine.com’s web site, Jen Aniston’s rep says simply, “She is not getting married.”

And, OK is standing by its story.

“OK! is so happy that Jen’s in love. We can’t wait for the Wedding ,” says OK’s Rob Shuter.

What’s interesting about today’s Us Weekly attempt to debunk OK’s cover story is that this is the same magazine that said the following about Jen’s rep in 2006:

Jennifer Aniston’s publicist, Stephen Huvane, is denying our cover story that Vince Vaughn popped the question on June 27. But, then again, he’s told some whoppers over the years. Let’s revisit them, shall we?

(We’ve included three of the items that Us Weekly dug up after the jump.)

• BRAD AND JEN ARE NOT ENGAGED — After Jen and then-boyfriend Brad Pitt took the stage during a Sting concert in November 1999 and Jen flashed a big diamond ring on her left ring finger, Huvane told the media: “She has a ring, but it’s not an engagement ring.” He continued to deny any engagement until the couple married July 29, 2000.

• BRAD AND JEN ARE OK — Two weeks before Brad and Jen announced their separation on January 7, 2005, Huvane told Us: “They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine.”

• JEN AND VINCE ARE NOT DATING — When pictures of Vince and Jen cuddling on the set of The Break-Up surfaced in July 2005, and rumors circulated that the costars were dating offscreen, Huvane denied the coupling to the New York Post: “There is no romantic interest. Vince is a good friend of Jennifer’s. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions.”

Why does Us Weekly now take Jen’s rep word as gospel?
