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.

31. I totally agree with you, Mary.

32. I feel like I just woke up out of a nightmare! I KNEW it! I KNEW she and her PR guy concocted the whole thing. Making Brad and Angelina go through all this abuse, and their children! She SHOULD have been taking responsiblity for the demise of her marraige. Jennifer filed for the divorce, and the divorce had been granted by the courts, before he and Angelina were together. There would have been evidence from somebody out to make a buck if he had cheated. It's not like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt could have done anything in this world and gone unnoticed!

A man has been maligned, a woman's name dragged through the mud because of this neurotic creature. This article in US doesn't come close to getting their reputation back but it's a start.

33. You guys are all pathetic. NONE OF YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. Does it need to be said any clearer then that? Is the writing big enough for you all to wake up and smell the coffee as you attempt to convince people you know everything? Or will you continue to embaress yourselves talking like you were in the bedroom...US Weekly is a tabloid, underlining the word TABLOID, US had massive scoop refuted by everyone involved, US Weekly is probably mad that happened and is looking to get even.

Mary and Maria, stop talking like you live with any of these couples, reality is that you're sitting behind your computer buying into the bullsh*t selectively, believing the good about Brangelina and never the negative, always believe the negative about Aniston. And this big bad Aniston fans bullsh*t, I know you guys tell yourself that only Aniston fans disike Brangelina so you can sleep at night but it's time to wake up and realise not everyone likes them. And I cant wait to be told I'm an Aniston fan when I've given no indication of being "team" anyone but its become clear that its what you people do, immediately call anyone who speaks ill of Brangelina aniston fans.

34. Gee, then I wonder why it is you are on this site? I don't give a frog's fart what you think. Jennifer ended the marriage, period! Brad hauled ass, period! Don't you think that when there is no evidence, it's wisest NOT to be calling people cheaters and homewreckers?

It is VERY evident, however, that Jennifer has personality flaws which interfer with her relationships. She herself has admitted to being neurotic. She's seen shrinks for years and still can't work it. That's fine, nobody's perfect, but she doesn't have to take two innocent people down with her.

Sorry, but you never explained your dislike for them. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the "affair"

36. To #28....Getting off on provoking anger??? Sounds as if someone is in need of a few therapy-sessions. And people WONDER WHY there is so much violence and hate. Try provoking happiness...it's much more needed than anger!!!
SMILE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o)

37. The harshness of comments here do not reflect on Jen, they reflect on the posters. I doubt anyone here really knows her other than as a public figure. I think she is just another woman trying to live her life the besy way she can, but having to do so in the public eye. Brad Pitt is not appealing to everyone. Some stories portray him as a control freak. I don't think Jen and Vince ever had a real romance. I think they were always just finds. But I don't know that. I haven't seen or read about anything Jen has done to generate such hostility. She doesn't have to seek Magazine covers. They come to her. People take celebraties too seriously.

38. I don't think that Jen would fall for Vince. They don't look compatible at all. And Vince was just feeling sorry for her after Brad left her.

Well, I am glad that the Vaughniston is over. They are quite boring couple to me.

39. Doesn't invite the media into her life? she plays it like a violin, and she dupes her fans and anyone else naive enough to buy into her miss innocent bull.
This is what the article's about, lest we forget.

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.

40. I, for one, was hoping that Jen and Vince would make it and I'm waiting for the news that Angelina has fallen for her leading man in her latest movie. Brad proved he had no morals when he hooked up with Angie, Jennifer moved on to a man that is exciting and looks like he would put her above all else. Maybe the tabloids are wrong. What would be great news is to read that Brad saw the light, Brad asked Jen to take him back; Jen showed Brad the curb and introduced her husband of three months....Vince.

41. Hey Vince Vaughn, now that you're single, when you come back into Chicago look me up, ok?
