Vince Vaughn is looking to sue London tabloids for the allegations made that he and Jennifer Aniston have broken up.

Reuters is reporting that a London lawyer, Simon Smith, has been hired by Vaughn to sue Britain’s Sun and Mirror newspapers and the New York Post. The publications published a photo with a cut line that said Vaughn was kissing a mystery blonde whilst attending a charity event … at London’s Old Vic theatre.”

Smith said that contrary to reports Vaughn and Aniston are still together, and he did not cheat on her.

Vaughn’s camp confirmed that Smith had been hired by Vaughn and would represent him “in legal action.”

Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston may be engaged if a report from Life & Style magazine is accurate.

According to the publication, the couple took the step towards marriage after Vaughn proposed during a recent stop in Paris to promote their film, The Break-Up.

The two began dating while on the set of the new movie.

The report also said that Aniston, the 37-year-old ex-wife of actor Brad Pitt, wants to put off the wedding until the flurry around Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s new baby has died down.

Apparently, however, preparations have already begun. A source close to Aniston quotes her as saying, “[Vaughn's] started the Zone diet, and he’s working out. He looks great.” The source also revealed that Aniston has asked Courteney Cox to be her matron of honor.

Seems the public is over “The Break Up.”

The Jennifer Aniston-Vince Vaughn comedy fell to second place, taking in $20.5 million over the weekend, Reuters reports. The new Pixar animated film ?Cars? took the top spot taking in $62.8 million.

Despite opening on Tuesday, ?The Omen? placed fourth, only taking in $15.45 million over the weekend, bringing its six (hmmm coincidence?) day total to $35.7 million.

Rounding out the top 10 at number three was ?X-Men The Last Stand? taking in $15.55 million, at number five was “Over the Hedge” taking $10.301 million, “The Da Vinci Code” was sixth $10.3 million, “A Prairie Home Companion” debuted at seventh taking in $4.7 million, ?Mission: Impossible III” was eighth with $3 million, “RV” was at ninth place taking in $2 million, and rounding out the top 10 at number 10 was “Poseidon” with $1.8 million.

Here’s the best news you’ve heard since Fox announced plans to release a Family Guy movie: there is going to be another Old School.

Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong, the genius writing team behind the 2003 instant classic, have teamed up again to create the sequel.

DreamWorks has given them the green light to make the movie, and there’s little surprise there. After all, Old School grossed more than $74 million at the box office in the U.S. alone.

Expect to see Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson in the sequel, but no actors have been confirmed as of the announcement.

Phillips will also direct.

Jane Seymour, best know as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, is returning to the small screen.

WB Network president David Janollari announced Thursday that Seymour, 54, will star in a new sitcom called “Modern Men”.

The series, which will debut on The WB midseason, is about three men who seek the aid of a blunt-spoken life coach to help them with romance and women. Seymour will play Dr. Stangl, the female coach who helps the childhood friends improve their relationship skills.

“Modern Men” also stars Josh Braaten, Max Greenfield, Eric Lively, Marla Sokoloff and George Wendt. It is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Seymour is a five-time Emmy nominee and has won two Golden Globes, including one for “Dr. Quinn.” She has not had a regular television role since that show ended in 1998.
Seymour can currently be seen on the big screen in Wedding Crashers, alongside Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

Maybe it was the hot day. Maybe it was knowing ex- husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were in Ethiopia together picking up Jolie’s new adopted daughter. Either way, Jennifer Aniston definitely had a bad day – and it showed.

The former Friends actress collapsed on the set of her new movie “The Break Up” after complaining of nausea and severe headaches.

Aniston, 36, was later diagnosed with heatstroke after fainting on set in Chicago, where she is filming the movie with co-star Vince Vaughn.

Sources on the movie set, however, claim Aniston finally buckled under the stress of knowing what her ex, Pitt, 31, is up to with Jolie, 30.

“She’s been walking around with a sad look on her face and has not been her usual self,” a source told British newspaper Daily Mail. “While her collapse was blamed on heatstroke, everyone thinks it’s more down to stress than anything else. She can’t have escaped all the stories about Brad and Angelina and it looks like the situation has taken its toll on her.”

Though Pitt and Jolie deny they have a relationship, both were in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, on Wednesday with Jolie’s son Maddox, 3. Jolie told People magazine she was adopting a girl, to be named Zahara Marley Jolie.
Meanwhile, Aniston and Vaughn are also on the defensive after they were photographed hugging on set.

“We’re making a film together, man. Jennifer’s a sweet girl but she’s very vulnerable right now and has been through a really hard time,” Vaughn has said. “I know people would love it if we were dating, but we’re not. She doesn’t need to cry on my shoulders”.
