Last week we reported that tired old recycled rumor that Aniston is pregnant again with Vince Vaughn’s spawn, but it was reported somewhere new so it was like our duty to cover it. A “pregnant” Aniston was said to have been visiting Vaughn on the London set of his new movie, Fred Claus, where he’s re-writing the script between takes and delaying production. The most surprising part of the story was that anyone would believe that Aniston was still with Vaughn, because even though she went on Oprah just in time for the DVD release of “The Break Up” and sort of half-said they were still together, there’s no evidence to prove it and no one really bought their relationship anyway.

Now People is reporting that this non-couple is entirely, absolutely broken up. Were they ever together? They refused to be photographed together, Vince often called Jennifer his buddy, and he famously told Letterman that he wasn’t saying if they were or weren’t a couple.

After more than a year together, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have decided to part ways. “After Jennifer’s trip to London several weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship but continue to be good friends today,” reps Stephen Huvane and John Pisani tell PEOPLE exclusively.

The statement ends weeks of speculation that Aniston and Vaughn’s relationship has been cooling off. Vaughn has been filming Fred Claus in London since late September, while Aniston has been busy working in Los Angeles and New York.

Despite their distance, both had made efforts to ensure the relationship was still going strong. In October, Vaughn, 36, threatened to sue several tabloid newspapers that alleged he was seen kissing a mystery blonde and had ended his relationship with Aniston, 37. The actress also shot down rumors of a rift on Oct. 11 when she told Oprah Winfrey that the two were still together.

Aniston visited Vaughn in London in late October after spending nearly a month apart. The two took in the London sights and caught a matinee showing of the musical Wicked. The actress returned to L.A. a few days later…

After doing a well-received stint in the 6th Annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway benefit in October, Aniston has been back in L.A. Vaughn will be shooting Fred Claus in London through this month.

Now who needs this publicity, Aniston or Vaughn? I would say Aniston since IMDB lists that she’s got three movies coming up, and it was her publicist who announced this stale non-news.

I don’t really believe this at all, but I could see how other people would considering that this is the woman who proudly wore a vial of her lover’s blood around her neck.

There’s a story in the latest Life and Style that Angelina has forbid Brad from talking to his ex, Jennifer Aniston, after Aniston reached out to him to work together. Aniston was said to have talked to Gwyneth Paltrow while she was in London trying to make it seem as if her relationship with Vince Vaughn wasn’t completely over. Paltrow told Aniston how great it was to work with Pitt, and since Aniston’s career is shit now she was supposedly convinced to contact Brad to collaborate again through their Plan B production company.

It all smells like bullshit to me, but now there’s an hilarious story that Angelina is casting little creepy spells on Brad to keep him in her skinny clutches. The source is some voodoo expert who just knows this is happening:

The Mr and Mrs Smith stars reportedly turned into real-life couple during the film’s shooting – the period when Pitt was still married to Aniston. Later the actor dumped his wife for the puffy-lipped siren and went on to father her adopted kids. The stars also became proud parents of their first biological child, daughter Shilouh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

And according to a leading voodoo expert, Doctor Snake, Jolie has allegedly put a magical spell on Pitt to forbid him from rekindling his relationship with the former Friends beauty.

“That vial sounds suspiciously like a voodoo ‘mojo hand’, or magical charm”, said the author of cult best-seller “Voodoo Spellbook” to Softpedia.

Snake is skeptical that the charm is for warding off accidents, as voodoo spells using ingredients from bats are normally used as he says in the workings of a black magic love spell.
“One dark voodoo spell uses Bat’s Heart Incense, which is burnt to break up a love affair or marriage”, The Post Chronicle quoted the Doctor, as saying.

And there’s an earlier story from this same voodoo expert that says that’s how Angelina got Brad in the first place. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she’s drop dead gorgeous and smart.

Now that the world clearly no longer cares, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have each confirmed their doubtful relationship. Last week British newspapers printed a picture of Vaughn kissing a “mystery blonde” in London, where he’s filming. Everyone had heard several different versions of the couple’s breakup and maybe long-over engagement at that point, and no one seemed to really give a shit if Vince cheated since they refused to acknowledge their relationship in the first place.

Aniston made a surprising announcement on “Oprah” yesterday that she’s still with Vaughn, while Vaughn’s lawyer made a statement that he didn’t cheat on his ol’ buddy Jen and that they’re still bumping uglies:

On Oprah yesterday, Aniston said: “Oh no, no,” when asked if she was “broken up,” with presumably Vince.

These half-worded statements are a big step forward for the supposed couple, who only spoke of each other as friends.

Vince famously refused to acknowledge his relationship with Jennifer at any point up until now. On “Oprah” in May he said Jennifer’s “one of my favorite people,” and on David Letterman at that same time he said “I’m not saying we are or aren’t a couple. I think she’s great, but I just don’t discuss whether we are.”

These two costars wouldn’t even pose on the red carpet together as is common at premieres. There are also scant few candids of the two together.

It’s just a coincidence that “The Break Up” is out on DVD today, right?

US Weekly claims to have an exclusive that Vince Vaughn broke up with Jennifer Aniston before he left to film in London. This seems like old news to me, because didn’t Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn break up over a month ago after news of their non-engagement came out?

US also claimed to have an exclusive in mid-August that Jen and Vince were engaged (I had to reuse the parody cover I made at the time), and stood by their story when Jen and Vince’s people vehemently denied it. They made it look like the two were actually photographed together by Photoshopping them together on a bench. They were only seen together at a tennis match while promoting their movie and in some grainy pictures out to dinner. They refused to pose together on the red carpet and drew hisses from German photographers when they remained apart at the Berlin premiere of “The Break Up.”

Now US says that Vince and Jen were engaged, but that it was the nail in their relationship coffin and that everything was downhill from there:

That’s just a teaser article and Us will have more details in its upcoming issue.

Back in early May it was said that Jen begged Vince not to take the role that would keep him filming in London for months, and that it led to a huge fight:

Back in college I had a terrible boyfriend who told me not to take the semester abroad that I was already approved for. I was supposed to be in Manchester, England at the height of the Madchester music scene when the world-famous “Hacienda” night club was open. It would have been a fabulous time. I was a dope and listened to the guy. He cheated on me within two months.

My point is that if you’re not married you should explore and live your life. If your relationship isn’t solid it’s not going to survive no matter what you do. Jen asked Vince to stay because she couldn’t keep him anyway. He was never willing to acknowledge that they were together, and acted like she was his buddy in interviews. I really doubt that they were engaged or that it even lasted this long.

I don’t believe this is true for one minute, but there’s a rumor that Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston are now an item, and that Aniston recently broke up with Vaughn when he didn’t want to talk about where their relationship was going. Maybe Aniston and Perry hung out together once, but it sounds like Life and Style is making up quotes from a “friend”:

If Matthew Perry and Jennifer Aniston were seen walking on the beach with their arms around each other where are the pictures? Usually these quotes are made up based on pictures and whatever the writer of the article wants to believe about a celebrity relationship. It doesn’t seem true to me at all, but it would be really juicy and surprising news. It seems like Matthew Perry has more sense than to get involved with Aniston, though. (Go ahead and bash, Team Aniston, I enjoy the debate.)

Here are some pictures of Vince Vaughn at London’s Heathrow airport. [via] He’s such a catch, some other woman will be lucky to have him.

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox were photographed canoodling at a party in Malibu over the weekend. I’m not sure who the older woman is, but Aniston is majorly sucking up to her while Courteney looks kind of annoyed. Aniston is also all too aware that she’s being photographed.

No wonder Aniston is so self-conscious around the paparrazi. She just settled a lawsuit for an undisclosed amount with a photographer who took topless photos of her sunbathing at her place. Aniston is going to donate the settlement to cancer research, cause she realizes that she’s not known for charity work and better improve her public image fast.

The paparrazo’s defense is pretty weak and kind of laughable. He said that he “didn’t go looking” for Aniston topless, even though he was outside her house with a telephoto lens, and that he uh, didn’t want to sell the naked pictures, even though he mailed them to magazines.

This is Aniston’s second settlement with a photographer over nude photos. She got 1/2 a million dollars in 2003 for nude pictures of her that were taken and published in 1999. No word what she did with that cash.

Jennifer Aniston swears up and down that she’s not engaged to Vince Vaughn. Us Weekly stands by its story that she is engaged and cites a bunch of stories that celebrities denied but ended up being true. The first commentor notes that it’s pretty convenient selective reasoning on their part. Of course there are hits and misses in the messy, often-fabricated world of celebrity gossip.

Perez Hilton claims to know from an insider that Aniston was actually engaged to Vaughn and that US was right, but now she’s totally dumped while Vaughn is partying in Vegas and hitting on chicks. That sounds like a plausible explanation for Aniston’s vehement denial:

There you go. It looks like everyone is right, Us and Aniston. Is it surprising that Vaughn and Aniston broke up? They didn’t even want to be photographed together.

Here is Aniston running into Kate Hudson at the airport and giving her some bad divorce advice. [via]

Courteney Cox says that Jennifer Aniston is a great friend that she can rely on in a crisis:

Cox recently revealed that she had some trouble in her marriage to funnyman David Arquette and that they wisely sought counseling to straighten it out.

She also adamantly denies that Aniston is engaged to Vaughn:

I bet Vaughn and Aniston are broken up already. Either that or they’re fighting constantly. Neither of them look happy together in the rare paparrazi photos that come out.

Star reports that Aniston and Vaughn are having trouble because Aniston doesn’t want kids, but that’s probably just speculation.
