Vince Vaughn Caught in Action

Liz Smith: Vince Vaughn, Sharon Stone identified as difficult stars

[wiz's note: I just can't believe this]

TELEVISION has brought back murder into the home - where it belongs," said filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.

Speaking of murder, an informal panel of publishers, editors and public relations pawns voted recently on who the most impossible persons are in show business. This probably won't be printed anywhere but here, as these pros all have to stay in business.

But Numero Uno, at the top of the list, is the rather newish star, Vince Vaughn, he of the current Fred Claus. (This so-called comedy is about as funny as a lump of coal in one's stocking.) Insiders call the guy who emerged triumphant from The Wedding Crashers and from a failed romance with Jennifer Aniston "the most egotistical, the most difficult, the kind of person who calls at 3 a.m. to demand different things."

And who is his female equivalent? I was a tiny bit surprised when in unison came this reply - "Sharon Stone." Since she raises so much money for AIDS, I am reluctant to add her here, but I will - in case her detractors have a point.

The National Ledger
By Tina Sims
Feb 14, 2007

Fans of Vaughniston were very excited when word leaked out that Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn spent Jen's birthday together. But who, if anyone, will Jennifer spend Valentine's Day with? Many fans are hoping that is indeed with Vince. OK! magazine gives a bit of hop to those that are looking for a comeback for 'The Break Up' couple. The magazine asks a friend Is a reconciliation in the works? “It’s always a possibility," the source dished.

Jennifer has had an eventful week. First topless photos of the California beauty were published in Europe that were taken from her nude scene from the set of her hit film 'The Break Up'. Jennifer's attorneys fought the photos release but to no avail as the scans are now everywhere.

Next up was Jennifer's 38th birthday weekend. That's where the real buzz was created as the amicable exes got together to celebrate her 38th birthday at the intimate Feb. 10 bash thrown by her good friends Courteney Cox and David Arquette in Los Angeles.

According to an item from OK! Jen decide to celebrate her special day an ex because they still are 'friends'. “Jen and Vince have remained close,” a friend explains to the entertainment magazine. “They shared a lot of good times together. Their relationship didn’t end after a big fight — they were just moving in different directions at the time.”

Page Six apologized to Vince back in October for screwing up - wonder what they're saying now about the latest cheating scandal (see story below)?

October 19, 2006 -- JENNIFER Aniston went on "Oprah" to tell the world she and Vince Vaughn are still together. We apologize to Vaughn for reporting on Oct. 11 that the "The Wedding Crashers" star had been photographed "making out" with a "mystery blonde" at a party in London. The item, first reported in the London Sun, was incorrect. We're advised Vaughn was merely greeting a friend at the event and not kissing her "passionately." Any suggestion that the actor was being unfaithful to Aniston is totally false.

Student caught in middle of Aniston-Vaughn breakup
BY MICHAEL QUINTANILLA
San Antonio Express-News

SAN ANTONIO - A regrettable e-mail sent to friends has landed a Trinity University junior here at the center of a worldwide celebrity scandal.

The e-mail reportedly was sent by 20-year-old Laura Mallory Lane to 22 of her Gamma sorority sisters. It carried the subject line: ''I shacked with Vince Vaughn'' and bragged of her one-night stand with the Wedding Crashers star in a Budapest hotel room.

The e-mail soon found its way to the offices of the tabloid weekly Star and, from there, to the world at large via the Internet.

The reverberations are believed to be the straw that broke the relationship between Vaughn and former Friends star Jennifer Aniston.

But that's nothing compared to the media firestorm that has swirled around the Allentown, Pa., native since the news broke on the Star's website Thursday with a tease about the full story in the magazine that goes on sale Monday.

Fittingly, Vaughn and Aniston recently starred in a film titled The Break-Up.

Now it appears Lane could have been the cause of the lovers' real-life split that was officially announced Tuesday.

Although e-mails to Lane were unanswered, Char Miller, a pop culture aficionado who teaches history and urban studies at Trinity, empathizes with what he says she likely is going through.

''Events like this have a way of overrunning the capacity of most human beings. It is sudden, immediate and overwhelming attention on what was a private, consensual, small moment. That would be hard for anybody to deal with,'' Miller said.

Susie Gonzalez, spokeswoman for Trinity, reported Thursday: ''All I can do is confirm that she is a student. Because of very strict privacy laws, we cannot release any other information, not her hometown, not her age, nothing else,'' she said about Lane.

Other sources who refused to be identified said Lane is enrolled in the study-abroad program and that the university had received calls from national magazines inquiring about her.

Lane, an actress, won Alamo Theatre Arts Council Globe Award in 2006 for her performance in The Triumph of Love.

She is described by one of her Gamma sisters, who did not want to be identified, as ``a great person.''

The student said she was upset that the story ``has turned into way too much.''

Another student said her friend is ``really friendly, really nice. She's awesome.''

According to the Star, Lane was on holiday in Budapest when she met the Swingers star, who made the trip there from London where he had been filming the comedy Fred Claus.

The Star reproduced part of Lane's e-mail: ``. . . the next thing I know it was me and Vince Vaughn alone in the hotel room. For a while we just had a drink and talked some more (and yes, we talked about Jen) and one thing led to another and obviously we were messing around before too long. We didn't have sex, but it was just as good. Afterward we just laid in his gigantic beautiful bed with satin sheets, smoking cigarettes and talking about life. He had a gorgeous view of the river and Buda Castle from his window, and we watched the sunrise. I felt like I was in a movie. We didn't ever go to sleep and in the morning he walked me out and kissed me goodbye in front of everyone and was so sweet.''

Additionally, the Star reported that in Lane's personal blog she originally bragged that she had gotten ''to meet and hang out'' with Vaughn but that two days later, the mention was deleted. As of Thursday, her blog was not available.

According to the Star, Lane and two girlfriends, along with Vaughn and two friends, had cocktails at a Budapest restaurant. When the bar closed, the group returned to Vaughn's hotel.

''We felt so comfortable with them at this point. [Vaughn] was super nice and so funny,'' Lane's e-mail read. She also mentioned that Vaughn 'even suggested playing the sexy word game `I Never . . .' and so there we are, getting all his dirty secrets out of him!''

The story reveals that Vaughn asked Lane to ``stay for another drink -- which she did.''

According to a story in the Us Weekly edition that goes on sale today, Vaughn reportedly was spotted talking to a ''mystery blonde'' the next morning at his hotel and receiving a kiss from her on the cheek.

The fallout is now part of celebrity pop culture history.

'My daughter in New York called me about the story. `What's going on?' she wanted to know,'' Miller said. ''It's the buzz of the campus, what everyone is talking about'' including faculty, he said, adding that news involving celebrities is fascinating to the others because ``it confirms our less-than-stellar lives.''

He emphasizes his point by referring to the recent news of actress Eva Longoria's five-carat, 248-diamond ring given to her by San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker.

''That piece of news is almost as valuable as the rock on her hand,'' Miller says.

But come Monday, when Star magazine hits newsstands, Eva's ring will be old news, eclipsed by the latest celebrity scandal.

The Washington Post
October 6, 2006

Split? Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn , the reigning couple of the glossy-mag world, are either "100 percent done" (according to US Weekly) or have "slowed down" (People). Her publicist did not respond to requests for comment -- but then her publicist never acknowledged they were dating. Which in hindsight seems very crafty. Breakup? Break up WHAT?

Definitely Possibly Not Engaged

Okay, now they're really, really, really not engaged. Really.

"The Break-Up" co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are not betrothed, Aniston told People magazine Wednesday. "I'm not engaged and I don't have a ring and I haven't been proposed to," she said. The actress said she was getting phone calls from her family in Greece and finally decided to speak out when her father pointed out her "big news" had made CNN and the "Today" show.

"This is insane," she said, adding that she and Vaughn laugh in private about the rumors.

But Aniston did acknowledge her formerly under-wraps romance. Well, kinda-sorta. "We're just being. We're having a good time."

The denials follow recent stories in Life & Style Weekly and Us Weekly magazines that claim the couple were engaged in June. Aniston's rep Stephen Huvane also told us "there is no engagement."

Sounds like that's it, huh?

THIS JUST IN . . .

· The sniping about an alleged Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston engagement is getting personal. US Weekly splashed the lovebirds across the cover of its new issue with a giant "Vince Proposes!" headline. Her publicist, Stephen Huvane, immediately issued a denial Wednesday; the magazine responded with an online history of Huvane's denials about items that later proved to be true. An exasperated Huvane told the New York Post yesterday: "They are not engaged. The US story is a complete fabrication. She has no ring, there was no proposal and they are not engaged. I could not be more clear about this." Clear as a diamond ring, Stephen.

Are they or aren't they?! I still think it all stinks of a publicity stunt (just wiz's humble opinion)

Aniston, Vaughn no longer friends
Posted on Thu, Aug. 03, 2006
mercurynew.com

We've got some good news and some bad news today.

The good news is that we will have a tantalizing Mel Gibson update in today's People Column.

The bad news is that Jennifer Lopez won't appear in the new "Dallas" movie after all, thereby denying us more reasons to make fun of her.

Another bit of bad news is the possible demise of Jennifer Aniston's relationship with Vince Vaughn, denying you good readers the opportunity to hear the term "Vaniston" over and over in the coming years.

Web site IMDb.com says Aniston has turned to her close-knit group of girl friends after allegedly calling off her impending marriage to Vaughn. The actress is reportedly single again and is calling on best pals Courteney Cox, Sheryl Crow and volleyball star Gabrielle Reece to help her cope with another broken romance.

According to Life & Style magazine, Aniston staged a girls-only get-together at Cox's Malibu home July 24 and has been referring to herself as "the new Jen" ever since. That would be an even newer Jen since the new Jen that emerged from her broken marriage to Brad Pitt, who left the old Jen to hook up with the new Angelina Jolie.

Aniston and Vaughn never officially announced their engagement, but tabloids ran wild with supposed wedding plans. The all-girl-power meeting was a chance for Crow to officially thank her pals for helping her through her breast cancer battle. In a recent interview, Crow said Cox and Aniston were among friends who stood by her through her crisis.

Dear Jen: Admit It Already

Dear Jen,

As my readers know, it's been some time since I've resorted to composing a public letter to a celebrity. It's kind of a contrived, goofy format and not nearly as funny or informative as I had hoped. Still, I think it's the best method of delivering for the following plea.

Stop playing dumb.

Maybe it worked for Rachel, but not for you, baby.

Since this letter is public, I'll just include what it is you've done to force me into writing this missive:

In an interview Monday on British TV, you again refused to directly characterize your relationship with "Break-Up" co-star Vince Vaughn. When asked, you went so far as to flippantly reply "Where did you hear that?" and praise him using three consecutive "greats": "Listen, he's a great man, he's a great friend, he's a great actor and so much fun."

Enough already. You're dating or you're not. In either case, both you and Vince have made the choice to live somewhat public lives and haven't been as discreet as you obviously think you have been.

You're an adult. Make your bed and lie in it. With whomever. But stop with the klutzy sidesteps, already.

P.S. Did you know James Michael Tyler (aka "Gunther") hasn't had an industry job since a 2005 "Scrubs" episode? Guess there actually was a post-"Friends" fate worse than "The Comeback."

Friends Encourage Jennifer Aniston to Pursue George Clooney
By Cris Bergman • National Ledger
Mar 17, 2006

In what sounds like a long shot Jennifer Aniston's friends are reportedly urging the beautiful American actress to pursue Oscar winner George Clooney romantically.

Stranger things have happened.

In this week's issue of Life & Style Magazine, the tab cites an insider that details that "Jen and George have grown closer, and Vince is jealous." I'm sure he would be.

And one thing - It would sure rival the Brad and Angie relationship for the Hollywood buzz.

The insider notes that there’s major chemistry between the couple already. And while George has said he doesn’t want to remarry or have kids, an insider says that if anyone can change his mind, Jen can.

***

“Jen and Vince are still seeing each other, but it’s not a match made in heaven,” the friend tells the magazine. “None of Jen’s friends expects the relationship to last. They think she should dump Vince and move on to George.”

Even Jen admits she’s not in love with Vince telling Vogue, “First and foremost, he’s a really good, loyal friend.”

***

I'm thinking that quote was to keep some privacy and perhaps even string he whole Vince mystery out - at least until their June film 'The Break Up' is released.

Will Vince Marry Jen?
Sky Showbiz

Thinking of popping out to buy a hat for Jennifer Aniston's impending nuptials? Put that shopping trip on hold.

The fella we've all been lining up for her has spoken out about his thoughts on marriage...

And let's just say Vince Vaughn doesn't sound like he's itching to don a morning suit and mull over invitation colour-schemes.

"To date, I've lived a selfish lifestyle and never considered marriage," Vince tells Now magazine.

"And there have been long periods when I just didn't have a girlfriend. Some people might find that hard to accept but I've never dated a girl just for the sake of it."

Well, that sounds a bit more promising... doesn't it?

Vince and Jen on the set of The Break-Up

Vince was talking ahead of the release of his new film The Break Up - yep, the one co-starring Jen and the one which set rumours going of a real-life romance between the pair.

And although neither of them have confirmed their relationship - or in fact talked directly about it - Vince seems keen to pour cold water on the gossip.

"I don't have the time to fully commit to anyone at the moment," he adds. "But I'll know when the time's right to do so."

Maybe it's the added fame such a high-profile relationship can generate that has got Vince sweating.

"I'm not a starry sort of guy," he tells the magazine. "I get excited by the work and the acting rather than being well-known."

We, meanwhile, must curb our excitement over potential celeb weddings. Hurumph.

wiz's note: Vaughniston?! ha ha ha

More than friends: Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston -- who spent the last few months insisting they were just pals -- are a couple, according to the Celebrity Romance Investigative Squad at People magazine. True, the ink is barely dry on Aniston's divorce from Brad Pitt, but this affair is more than just a revenge shot at Brangelina: "The Break Up" co-stars have been locking lips all over Chicago and lunched with Vaughn's mom. "She was all wrapped up with that guy she's supposedly not dating," one onlooker told People. Denials have given way to "no comments," so gentlemen, start your nicknaming. Vinnifer has the lead, Jence and V.J. are possibilities, but personally, we think Vaughniston has a nice ring.

In All Fairness, We Don’t Really Know What Aniston Looks Like, Either


Source: http://gawker.com/

NB to the kind folks at People: When creating a photo feature about Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, be sure that it’s actually Jennifer Aniston in the pictures and not, as the photo agency captions indicated, Aniston’s double.

We know, it’s confusing. The bitch is like Saddam Hussein.
