Crow says Aniston ended marriage to Pitt
Musician Sheryl Crow has contradicted the widely held belief that Brad Pitt left wife Jennifer Aniston after meeting Angelina Jolie.
Crow, who became close with the former 'Friends' star after her break-up with cyclist Lance Armstrong, insists that Aniston was the one who ended the relationship in 2005.
Speaking to Contactmusic Crow said: "For both of us, the perceived idea is that, in our big relationships, we both got dumped. Believe me, this is not true".
She added: "No one ever knows what goes on in relationships. Unfortunately, for some people like Jennifer and me, so much is written about things that you don't say and so many emotions are attributed to you that you haven't had," she added.
Ever since Pitt and Jolie became close on the set 'Mr and Mrs Smith', it had been believed that the actor left his wife for Jolie.
However a number of Aniston's pals have given credence to Crow's claims and one friend told the National Enquirer: "Once Jen saw the writing on the wall, she dumped Brad. She took a cold, hard look at her marriage and realised it was irretrievably broken".
They added: "She and Brad had vastly different personal agendas and feelings about love, career and having a family."

Caught Live: Pete Doherty
IF PETE DOHERTY's life wasn't like a whirlpool of water emptying down the
plughole, it might look something like this.
Last night in Brixton he came onstage a mere 30 minutes late, appeared
fresh-faced and clean-shaven, spoke and sang coherently and didn't seem
affected by anything other than a touch of nerves now and then.
It was, for him, a solid performance at odds with his wild reputation.
But if you strip away the madness what are you actually left with? KATE MOSS' former squeeze has a handful of good tunes from his solo
work and BABYSHAMBLES' albums - mostly tales of the dark side of
normal British life.
But standing onstage alone, Pete looks more and more like a busker you'd see
on the London Underground. And not toss a 20p to.
Playing to a crowd of just 100 fervent fans for this secret show at Mass, a
former church in Brixton, Pete was in charming mode, thanking everyone for
coming.
A highpoint of the evening was when DOT ALLISON joined Pete for the
sugary duet Sheepskin Tearaway. Afterwards, Pete joked: "We haven't
done it for two years. I don't know why I was bothered about not knowing it
'cos she didn't know the words!"
But the fact he's not really managed to better the songs from THE LIBERTINES'
days is a worry.
For Lovers sounded reasonable, but his versions of oldies The Delaney, Don't
Look Back Into The Sun and Can't Stand Me Now sounded stronger than anything
he's done since.
Pete returns to Mass to play another solo gig tonight at 9pm - going head to
head with CARL BARAT - who'll be leading DIRTY PRETTY THINGS
at the Astoria at exactly the same time.
