Poor, little couple find Jewel in the Crown
by Shannon Harrison, managing editor

    Nothing is quite so beautiful as love in the air. Sometimes, it is difficult, however, to understand the sensibilities of Star-Quality lovers, especially when they are so self-serving.

   Such is the case with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt (romantic music swells here just in mentioning the beautiful couple).

   The Pitts got pitted when the exclusive jeweler who made their wedding rings sold the designs. What else could the two do? Neither wanted to see replicas of their rings on the common folks. Therefore, the couple sued for $50 million—such suffering deserves dough, and lots of it.

   Last week Jennifer and Brad came to an agreement with the Italian jeweler who, by the way, agreed not to sell replicas.

   Pitt designed the couple’s rings, and had an agreement with Silvia Damiani of Damiani International stating that the designer would not sell replicas of the rings.

   The couple filed their lawsuit against the jeweler in July, claiming that the designer sold replicas of the rings in stores and over the Internet.

   The legal proceedings between the parties are resolved.
But the best part of the incident is that the couple will continue their relationship with the jeweler.

   Pitt will design an exclusive jewelry collection for Damiani, and Aniston will appear in commercials for the company. Thank goodness these part-time jobs are available for the truly needy.

   The jeweler was wrong, but $50 million wrong? I don’t think so.

   These two people make so much money as it is, and they believe they deserve $50 million more?

   How much do you suppose Pitt will make for his EXCLUSIVE jewelry? What will Aniston earn for allowing her beautiful face and body to be exploited by advertising?

   I would guess this settlement will earn the couple a lot more than the $50 million suit.

   This couple has found the bird’s nest on the ground. Through their embarrassment, they have embraced success.

   Hollywood actors only care about making money. Once in a while, however, they donate to charity so they don’t look bad.

   Our admiration goes to Brad and Jennifer. They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They have completed their Fellowship of the Ring.

   What an adventure we all have shared in their golden quest.
