Melissa McCarthy covers the new issue of People Magazine (I’ll probably cover the story tomorrow if gossip is still slow), but there’s a sidebar on the cover: “Jen Talks To People: Justin, Marriage & Her Secrets to Looking Younger.” It was the “Justin, Marriage” part that interested me, although I quickly realized that if Jennifer had some breaking news about her neverending engagement, she probably would have gotten the People cover all to herself. So what IS going on with Justin Theroux? He’s become The Largely Absent Eyebrow in Jen’s perfect LA life, even though she insists that they share everything (Aveeno, Living Proof, toothbrushes). Some highlights from People:

The best thing that’s happened to her in her 40s: “Justin. He’s the best thing this decade.”

Their coupled-up fashion: “[We] met a bit in the middle.” She fondly remembers the first time she met The Leftovers star while on the set of 2008 comedy Tropic Thunder in Hawaii. “He was wearing black, black, black and I started to sweat just looking at him.”

Her engagement ring: “I just think it’s so beautiful. I love it because he picked it, put it into a setting and it’s simple.”

Justin won’t have a problem fitting a wedding ring into his wardrobe: “He’s got a lot of hardware. He wears a chain. He has a gold chunky ring. When we get married he will be wearing his ring. It just won’t say Justin anymore,” she says of the ring he currently wears, adding that perhaps instead it will say Jen “on the inside…It will be good.”

Does this interview seem… I don’t know? Sort of bittersweet? Jennifer has always sort of been the Miss Havisham of the tabloids and at times she’s willingly played into that image, but it feels like in real life she’s trying on wedding gowns and day-dreaming about Justin’s wedding band and the entire time Justin has been looking for the exit.

Oh, and I still hate her engagement ring. That is the cloudiest, most quartz-looking diamond ever. Is “quartziest” a word?
