Jen 'picking up the pieces'

New York - In her first interview since splitting with Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston said she is trying to "pick up the pieces in the midst of this media circus".
"Am I lonely? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. Am I confused? Yes. Do I have my days when I've thrown a little pity party for myself? Absolutely. But I'm also doing really well," she told Vanity Fair in its September issue.
The 36-year-old actress said the media coverage and tabloid rumours have been hard to deal with - especially reports that she didn't want to start a family.
"That really annoyed me. I've never in my life said I don't want children. I did and I do and I will. I would never give up that experience for a career. I want to have it all."
Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences after four and a half years of marriage. The couple separated in January.
Missing sensitivity chip
Aniston was apparently aware of Pitt's attraction to Angelina Jolie, but doesn't blame their split on her.
"It's just complicated," she said. "There are all these levels of growth - and when you stop growing together, that's when the problems happen."
But Aniston was hurt by a fashion spread in W magazine - a concept of Pitt's - that showed the actor and Jolie as a 1960s-style married couple. "There's a sensitivity chip that's missing," Aniston said of her soon-to-be ex-husband.
She added: "I just don't know what happened. ... I feel as if I'm trying to scrounge around and pick up the pieces in the midst of this media circus."
But despite her heartbreak Aniston hasn't lost her sense of humour. On Pitt's recently dyed blonde hair, she said, "Billy Idol called - he wants his look back."
