Jen and Vince: The Way They Weren't

Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are finished ... or so it seems. The "Break-Up" stars confirmed through third parties yesterday in Us Weekly that their year-long fling is over. Since last October, the couple has been seen in all kinds of cozy positions -- but they've also done everything possible not to be seen together. What is certain is this: the DVD release of "The Break-Up" follows rather conveniently soon upon the heels of the couple's own publicly announced split.

So were they just playing coy this whole time, or did they contrive one of the most closely-followed non-relationships ever? (They are actors, after all.) TMZ takes a look back at the L'Affair Vaughniston.

16. Well I am glad this happened Vince Vaughn was too good for her anyways. It looks to me like she was the big fake after all. Using Vince to make Brad jealous. And I actually did predict this would happen I wrote it on a different blog a few months ago that Vince would leave her and he did.

17. Oh Maria:
Shut the f*** up! What the hell are you? 11-years-old? You sound like some pre-teen kid at a football game. Jesus! And just so you know, Brad and Angie aren't that far behind. Everybody thinks they're in love now? I can't WAIT to hear what you all will say when the story "breaks" that they finally called it quits. It's ALL a publicity stunt. Both relationships were just 2 big publicity stunts, one trying to out do the other. The "I'm trying to get over Brad, so I'll go with Vince" relationship. And the "I'll never cheat with anyone, my Dad did it/Oh we're just friends, but I'll adopt her kids, and WHOOPS! She's pregnant now" relationship. You think Brad and Angie will grow old together? PUH-LEASE!! NObody in Hollywood does these days. GET REAL!!!

18. All you ass monger Jen haters couldn't WAIT for this, I can tell! Cold ass people, I swear. I hope someone wishes something bad on your relationships so they can end, and everybody that knows you can speculate on it and bad-mouth you behind your backs. Or rather people that's just seen you around, but don't REALLY know you. I quit this sh*t. F***ing LOSERS!!

20. Did you ever see pictures and reports of her poolside with Vince fall over sloppy drunk and chain smoking? Or about the photos of her topless (in plain view from the street) smoking pot? or of her favorite dieting tool, cocaine? How you all rush to bring up any tabloid lies that may be slung against Brad and Angelina. but you refuse to believe your own eyes when it comes to Jennifer. WHAT is so classy about her?? The way she gets plastic surgery to tighten up her ever aging face till she can bearly talk? The drugs she does? The drinking? Screwing Vince? Her spilling her guts to anyone in the media that would listen? WHAT? cause I can't find any. OH! and go to any Brad & Angie blog and see how classy your sisters are! Tit for Tat baby. i won't get my wish till that dammaged goods phony is swimming in psychiatrist bills and drinking her lonely self into an early grave. Unlike your hero, Brad and Angelina have feelings for each other, when and if they do part ways they will have known love, Jennifer doesn't have feelings for anyone.
Mark my words, her pity party's over and the whiplash is comming like a boomerang!

21. US magazine. Oct 5 2006
Some excerpts:

Men may come and go in the life of self described neurotic, Jennifer Aniston, but no one has remained as steadfast as her publicist, Stephen Huvane, who guided her through her press offensive against ex Brad Pitt and her coy “are they or aren’t they dance ?” dance with the media over Vince Vaughn.

Given Vaugh’s reluctance to get caught up in a girlfriend’s personal soap opera, he couldn’t have picked a worse time to date Aniston. Her september 2005 Vanity Fair attack on Pitt(an exhaustive tell-all about which she has said she had no regrets) was the first in a series of therapy-session cover stories designed to reveal just enough about her personal life -and Vaughn’s- to keep people interested. It was a well used tactics that for Aniston who in March 1999 was accused of attracting publicity by spending nine months denying she was even dating Brad Pitt, just six months later she upped the ante by flashing a ring when the couple joined Sting on stage in New York City, then insisted it was just a joke.

This vicious cycle of media courting and thwarting which a friend of Vaughn’s called “Jen’s world” was a major turnoff for Vince.
Vince mom think Jennifer is too needy and controlling.

23. She's not that nice to her fans . She's way too self centered and needy. Its always the continual drama going on with her. Sorry, nobody cares that you got dumped again. Millions of women have gone through it, they just dont sit their and repeatedly focus on it. Give up the sympathy circuit also ie no mre vanity fair, oprah, etc. Try and focus on your acting, you might learn how to play more than one character. Maybe you should try and help with some charities to get your mind off yourself and your poor miserable life.

24. Do you all read what you type? I feel as if I'm being thrown back into childhood listening to everyone post their bullcrap on bullying Jennifer, back slapping Vince, high fiving Brad and hugging Angelina. Get a handle on your emotions people, quit acting like freaks of a circus. The press is talking here, the press has been talking and you all are just too complacent to realize no one may be reporting the truth. For all we know Jennifer, Vince, Angelina and Brad are all sitting around a dining room table in one of their homes laughing at how stupid everyone is at sticking a prying uneducated nose into their business. GET FREAKING REAL! Put as much concern and worry into your own lives and maybe we won't have so many children gunned down or taken hostage in our public schools, give your own lives the passion, attention and conviction you're giving Jennifer, VInce, Brad and Angelina and maybe you'll see reality. These Hollywood successes don't sit at our table, don't affect our lives, and certainly wouldn't be attending the family barbeque this weekend, so why do you lash out at others about them or of your opinions of them? Why in the world do you care so much? Start putting that attention into your own life, stop condemning others when your backyard is messy, just please GET A LIFE! To Jennifer, Vince, Brad and Angelina . . . I hope one day you get the respect and privacy you deserve, until then, keep these idiots entertained with the papparazi bullcrap. No matter who you're sleeping with, married to, adopting children with, having children with, divorcing, marrying, getting engaged to, text messaging, spending time with on your movie sets, eating dinner with, etc, etc, I still enjoy the results of your efforts. You are Hollywood afterall and as most of us know, you can't trust the media . . . the NEW Enquirer of the Millennia!

30. Well since the media is beginning to purge their souls, when is TMZ going to start spilling its beans. This blog is among the many outlets that have consistently slammed Brad and Angie, and made this conniving bitch a victim. They all failed to call her on her crap. Most of the tabs knew that marriage was over long before Angie met Brad, but that would not have made a good story, instead they helped Aniston ruin an innocent man's reputation.

There has never been any rumour of Brad ever cheating on a girlfriend or on Jennifer, but why let the truth get in the way of a good tabloid story.

This is only the beginning. Anniston is going to pay for the campaign she and her publicist ochestrated against a good man. And for those waiting for the Jolie-Pitts breakup, you have to wait for quite a while cos it ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

The media backed the wrong horse. You can full all the people some of the time but you can't full all the people all the time. Never bought into her nice girl act, and now more people will get to see the fraud that she is.
