Jennifer Aniston: After a painful split from John Mayer, Jennifer Aniston turned to an ex for comfort and advice. So who received Jen's emotional late-night call — Vince Vaughn? Paul Sculfor? Neither, it was her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.

Star has learned that in an emotional late-night phone call, Jen poured out her heart to Brad, looking for consolation and advice. And he was there for her.

The long-distance heart-to-heart actually began when Jen — desperate for a sympathetic ear — called her former mother-in-law, Jane Pitt, on Aug. 13 at Château Miraval, where she's staying with Brad, Angelina Jolie and their brood, Star reports in our Sept. 1 issue.

"Jen still calls Jane all the time, and she really needed someone to talk to," an insider says. "And she started telling Jane about her split with John."

When Brad walked into the room as Jane was consoling Jen, she simply handed the phone to him.

"At first, he didn't know what to say," says the insider. "But he listened very intently and tried to comfort her. He was very patient and attentive."

WTF is in the water in LA????
I am sure I'm not the only one noticing a bit of a trend in Hollywood lately. First, I think it started becoming very fashionable to be having a baby. I'm kind of thinking about around the time Christina Aguilera was preggers, things had already heated up. Jessica Alba, Halle Berry - it wasn't good enough to be gut wrenchingly hot anymore - a gigantic baby bump was what really made a starlet hot. In the same way stars have always tended to one up one another, a simple pregnancy doesn't seem like much ne
