Vince Vaughn, Nicole Kidman Share Their Turkey in Hollywood Charity Tradition

Welcome back to a special holiday edition of Defamer Attractions, your weekly guide to everything new, noteworthy and/or stillborn at the movies. And this Thanksgiving, we're grateful for a slate of Wednesday releases granting us a reprieve from another day of Twilight chatter. Not that any of them will surmount last week's blockbuster, but we have a quick and dirty forecast for long weekend's hits, sleepers and subplots, including a glimpse at the biggest disappointment and underdog to come. As always, our opinions are our own, but are easy to bake for that last-minute dessert idea. The full recipe is after the jump. More »

Why Straight Dudes Are Comfortable With Their Vince Vaughn Love

Last week we briefly mentioned an Esquire profile of Vince Vaughn in which the writer, Chris Jones, exhibits his obsession with Vaughn's physical prowess. Well, now that the full article is up on Esquire's website, it's clear that Jones has fallen head over heels for Vaughn in what could be the one-sided literary bromance of the decade. Jones not only coos over Vince's "great golden acreage," but he also creams over Vaughn's political aptitude ("his impassioned take on the Israeli—Palestinian conflict is like listening to Khrushchev banging his shoe on the podium"), and his skill as a confidant ("he's really listening, as though someone's grabbed him by the shoulders"). Three quarters of the way through the interview, Jones declares his undying love: "Vaughn sits back, picks up his drink, surveys his audience, and he smiles that really nice smile of his. He's loving this. He's loving that we've fallen in love." [Jezebel]

'Esquire' Wants You to Know That Vince Vaughn is Fat Now

When Vince Vaughn first made his mark with Swingers, he was so whippet-thin that his wild, improvised riffs almost seemed to be a unique form of cardio. Now that a decade has passed, though, things have changed — a fact that Esquire's new issue takes great pains to point out. Vince Vaughn is not thin anymore, each line of its cover story (entitled "The Biggest Man in the Room") seems to say. No, Vince Vaughn is now a fatty, a great big fatty fat person. Think we're joking? Enjoy this opening paragraph, with all the ooky, relevant parts bolded in Defamer ChubbyFont™: More »

Why Can't Reese Witherspoon Get First Billing?

Correct us if we're wrong, but didn't Reese Witherspoon, y'know, win an Oscar just a few years ago? We're pretty sure she did, but you'd never know it from this poster for Four Christmases, the upcoming comedy she stars in with Vince Vaughn. Despite the fact that Vaughn fired UTA and his manager after the star vehicle Fred Claus opened to less than his first $20 million paycheck, the poster still gives him first billing over the Oscar-winning, A-list Witherspoon (and for another Christmas movie, no less!). To be fair, Witherspoon's last film Rendition was a box-office bust, but she wasn't top-billed on that, either: new beau Jake Gyllenhaal was, despite the fact that he's not yet proven himself as a box office draw. After winning the industry's highest award and proving her ability to single-handedly open a comedy with films like Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama, what more does Witherspoon have to do to be called first in the billing block?

Jennifer Aniston And Cameron Diaz Exchange Sloppy Seconds

Just when Hollywood has seemingly runs out of ideas, it appears that the city of Los Angeles has also run out of dateable men. Two of Tinseltown's most eligible bachelorettes, Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz, have searched far and wide for the right arm candy, only to wind up scraping the bottom of the boy barrel. And their respective plights have gotten so dismal that the "sex-obsessed" blonde and "clingy" brunette are now swapping leftovers. As we already know far too well, Aniston has been gritting her teeth through this summer's most mysterious celebrity relationship with John Mayer, one of Diaz's former flings. And rumors earlier this month linking Diaz to a certain cokehead model have gained credibility after the actress was photographed out and about with the pretty-but-pretty-dumb Paul Sculfor. But the tale turns even more tragic: yet another sorry excuse for a man has nailed both A-listers, and managed to walk away the winner: More »

The Secret To Looking As 'Fit' As Gwyneth And Beyonce? Starve Yourself Silly, Of Course!

Coming in at number two right after Lesbian Chic on the list of 2008's hottest celebrity trends is the slim fast phenomenon sweeping the pounds off Catherine Zeta-Jones’ ass, Britney Spears’ arms, and pretty much every inch of co-starvation partners Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham. But of course, when Queen of Female Mind Control Oprah Winfrey puts in her two cents on the dieting front, every housewife and Oprah wannabe begins taking dutiful notes on how exactly she’ll take a few pounds off this time around. And according to a piece in the NY Daily News, Detox is the word. From Gwyneth and Beyonce to Ralph Fiennes and Vince Vaughn, these four varieties of temporary "cleansing" yourself are the current diet du jour. And of course, the question is: does it work? And more importantly, is giving up our nightly vino and succumbing to regular colonics worth looking like a lollipop head? Which celebrities are using which method, and visual evidence of their results, if any, after the jump. More »

Jennifer Aniston Takes John Mayer To Meet Her 'Friends'

With every passing week, the developing relationship between John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston begins to feel like one of those soap operas we used to watch before vowing never to watch another soap opera again. In the pilot, we viewers were hooked and enticed by Aniston’s fembot nipples and Mayer’s tattooed tricep, the beachside love affair reeling us in just like the first episode of Paradise Island. The sophomore effort’s plot involved the first climactic turn of events: John was “bored”! Jen was “clingy!” In this week’s episode, the relationship has reached that rosy point in which the new-ish couple begins introducing each other to their Friends. Literally. As the Daily Mail reports, Mayer has become part of that fun little sixsome we’ve loved, hated and grown indifferent towards, inducted by Aniston into bosom buddy Courteney Cox’s strict evaluation system. See how John’s infamous O-face fared with Cox after the jump. More »

A disturbance in the Vince Vaughn-management force yesterday sent ripples across the universe; within minutes, the CAA Death Star had dispatched two TIE fighters to snatch up the free-floating superstar—just as they did with former UTA clients Jim Carrey and Will Ferrell. One lunchtime pitch session, catered by Zankou Baby, was all it took to convince Vaughn he had found a new family among the Dark Lords of the CAA Sith. [Variety]

Why Did Vince Vaughn Phone-Dump His Reps?

If you're the average superstar, surrounding yourself with a dream-team of handlers is probably the single most important decision you'll make: Any weak link in the commission-claiming chain can result in the kinds of career missteps that result in disastrous tumbles down the Hollywood food chain, where you'll soon find yourself groveling for any elephant-voicing breadcrumbs the studios are still willing to toss your way. (Needless to say, with plenty of strings attached). Vince Vaughn knows this all too well, and he's reportedly disposed of his entire team in one phoned-in management massacre.

Not Every 'Hot On-Set Hookup' Turns Out Like Brangelina, You Know

While AOL has put together a rosy list of the "hottest on-set hookups," complete with lusty make-out pictures and lovey-dovey tales from between the sheets, we feel obligated to point out that not every "hot" and heavy on-set romance leads to a fairy tale ending. In fact, a few of these couples' choices to get busy in between scenes wreaked havoc on both their personal and professional lives, leading some to lose their spouses, their reps and, in Angelina Jolie's case, a tattoo or two. We put together our own list of the top five most ill-fated on-set hookups, mainly to remind these bed-hopping stars that sometimes it's best to just say no to illicit trailer sex. More »

"'Vince rolls onto set in the morning looking like he just came in from a night out, while Reese will arrive early looking camera-ready,' says our San Francisco source. 'Then Reese tries to force Vince into blocking out each scene and running through their lines as Vince tries to convince her that he's an ad-libber and wants to play around and see where the scene goes.' ... 'She's a one-take perfectionist and Vince likes to try it a few different ways,' snickers our snitch. 'Sometimes Vince will be standing behind her and he has this look on his face that he just wants to kill her!'" [Gatecrasher]

Vince Vaughn Shares His Drunken Thoughts On The Hardships Of Being A Movie Star With Fellow Studio City Sushi Diners

Vince Vaughn's love life, since being permanently de-Anistonized just in time for The Break-Up's DVD release, has amounted (publicly, at least) to one unforgettable evening of giggles and shared secrets with a Gamma Chi Delta sister in Budapest. Leading chronicler of suspect celebrity dining behavior The National Enquirer now reports that Vaughn was spotted drowning out his romance woes at a venerable Japanese eating establishment on Ventura Blvd., asking, between greedy chugs of sake and bites of unagi hand roll, why it's so hard to find the love a good woman.

Vince Vaughn's One-Night-Cuddle-Stand Strikes Back Against Tabloids

A week ago, when Star magazine intercepted and then published an e-mail in which a Texas sorority girl told her sisters of the magical, nonpenetrative Budapest night she spent snuggling with Newly Single Famous Person Vince Vaughn, we thought that ill-advised missive might be the last thing (OK, besides the blog that was taken down shortly thereafter) we ever read authored by the Gamma Chi Delta. Today, however, she returns with an essay decrying her recent infamy in Allentown's Morning Call Online, lamenting the nation's general level of unhealthy interest in tabloid trash as much as her misguided faith that some harmless sharing of her firsthand experience of a celebrity's estimable cuddling skills would never be forwarded outside of her circle of trust: More »

Vince's Co-Ed Speaks Out Against False Tabloids

We admit it, there are some days that we don't exactly feel good about what we do. It can be a little bit repugnant to spend our days raking all this muck! And so you can imagine how we felt when we read this impassioned cri de couer from Mal Lane, the college student who had no idea that posting about everything-butting Vince Vaughn on her blog and sending an email with the juicy deets to all of her sorority sisters would result in instant internet infamy:

I stand by the belief that while I may have made an error in judgment, I did nothing to deliberately hurt anyone, and acted as many young women in my position would. I spent time with a person of celebrity status, and chose to share it with a few close friends. My biggest mistake was putting my personal life in an e-mail that could be exaggerated, embellished and shared with others against my intentions. I was criticized and demeaned as a result of someone realizing they could profit from my humiliation.

Sorority Girl Blog Tragically Devoid Of Tales Of Hot, Vince-Vaughn-Cuddling Action

Radar has dug up the blog of alleged Vince Vaughn cuddle-buddy Mallory Lane, the Texas sorority girl who Star speculated broke up Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's relationship, inconsiderately ignoring the vital input of a team of very well-remunerated publicists and managers who undoubtedly helped the couple decide it might be time to seek their own paths. While Lane has so far resisted the impulse to yank down her blog in the midst of this controversy and rob the world of a travelogue of her European wanderings, it does appear that she removed a single sentence from a Monday entry indicating that she met Vaughn (pictured above) in Budapest, a piece of writing considerably more discreet than the CC: All Gamma Chi Deltas Sisters masterwork of shared cigarettes, Hungarian sunrise, and celebrity heavy petting Star previously shared with us.

National Enquirer Reporting Secrets Revealed Via Vince's Co-Ed's Blog

Hey, bored this afternoon and armed with the technical know-how it takes to set up a free email account? Well, congrats: you are officially invited to participate in a fun round of Fuck With The National Enquirer. Those supersleuths came across a definitely not long for this world blog by one 'Mal Lane,' who seems to be the Trinity University student who shared something even better than sex — ;) — with Vince Vaughn, inciting the rage of tragic forever-singleton Jen Aniston. Well, the National Enquirer found an innovative way of contacting Mal: via the comments of her blog! A prankster set up a fake Mal Lane email and answered Rick's question, and got a very fun email response from Ricke, who's been on Blogger since — why, since today! It's after the jump. More »

Vaughn And Aniston Still Officially Over; Vaughn Reportedly Moves On To Chaste Encounter With Gossipy Sorority Girl

Our sleep last night was fitful and feverish, so tormented were we by the queasy feeling that we would awake this morning to discover that Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's publicists had released a joint statement assuring their fans that despite the fact the two lovers would never again be seen in each other's company and forever maintain separate residences in different time zones, they were still very much committed to being a couple, robbing us of the sweet closure we desperately and naively hoped we'd achieved with yesterday afternoon's Page Six report of their break-up. Mercifully, Vaughn and Aniston's flacks have reached detente on the dissolution of their clients' relationship, confirming—exclusively!—to People that while the duo will presumably no longer engage in the strange acts of pantomimed intimacy they enjoyed during their year-long, tabloid-attracting association, they remain "good friends." Perhaps sleep will come more easily tonight. More »

Vince Dumped Jen For An Award-Winning Actress

Nyah nyah, Jen! Where's your Alamo Theatre Arts Council Globe Award for Lead Actress in a Comedy? Trinity University student Mallory Lane's got one, for her role in The Triumph of Love. The Triumph of Love, eh? Well, that's one way of putting what happened when the nubile co-ed (or whatever!) ran into Vince Vaughn during his recent stint in Budapest. Another way of putting it, per the email that Star reports Mallory sent to 20 of her Gamma sorority sisters?

"We 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 :)"

We think that emoticon says it all. More »
