"Those who can not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." - George Santayana
Interesting coincidence, the similarities that exist between our current (though years drug out) "man leaves wife for other woman" drama and the biggest scandal of yore: John Lennon leaving first wife and mother of his first child, Cynthia Lennon (nee Powell), for Yoko Ono - a woman who's name will forever remain synonymous with "break-up." Both Aniston and Lennon are beautiful blondes and their respective men married in an effort to "do the right thing" - granted, Aniston wasn't knocked up but I think Brad bought into the Hollywood version of himself at the time and she seemed to be the match. Meanwhile, dark and brooding ladies were waiting in the wings for these iconic men. You may not think of Yoko as sexy, but check out archival footage of her and you'll see that she wore a mini-skirt very well! Listening to "Kiss Kiss KIss" off of Double Fantasy is akin to Serge Gainsbourg's classic Je T'Amie, banned at the time of its release for erotic content. Both Yoko and Angelina are incredibly strong women who don't bend easily - and, umm, both have dark hair. Ta-dah! Both Jen and Cynthia have been tagged in history as jilted women who will never, ever be able to get over their larger-than-life former mates. Whether or not it's true, public perception dictates that it's mighty difficult to "marry-up" after that!
