Aniston ‘picking up pieces’ after split with Pitt

But what was unbearable for Aniston was addressing the rumor that Jolie is three-months pregnant with Brad's child.

When asked, Bennetts said Jennifer looked as if she'd "been stabbed in the heart" as the tears "kept rolling down her cheeks."

"Her friends feel Brad could have done more to dispel the rumors," Bennetts added. "She does not believe that Brad is a malicious guy and she does not believe that he did any of this to be hurtful to her."

What has bothered Jen has been the unrelenting media circus surrounding her private life, including rumors of a romance with Vince Vaughn, who costars with Jen in her new film "The Break Up."

"I think Vince Vaughn is a great guy. I think he's totally hysterical and we are in no way, shape or form involved," Aniston told Bennetts.

Besides working, which she's been doing a lot of with four movies on the way, Jen is also concentrating on healing by seeing a therapist who is helping her to avoid feeling like a victim.

"She has bent over backwards to take the high road and not say anything negative about Brad at any point," Bennetts pointed out.

And Jen was also brave in admitting that it hasn't been quite blissful since the split, saying: "Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely. But I'm also doing really well."

And while she also admitted she's "maybe a little bruised," it didn't seem to jade her according to Bennetts.

"I asked Jennifer where she thought she'd be or hoped she'd be in five years and she said, 'I expect I'll be married and have a child,'" the Vanity Fair writer concluded.

One thing is for sure, Jen certainly hasn't lost her sense of humor.

On Pitt's recently dyed blond hair, she says, "Billy Idol called — he wants his look back."

The new Vanity Fair hits newsstands on Wednesday and in case you're wondering, Jennifer has read it and thinks the article came out great.
