The obvious and rude question: which one is carrying the baby? Because Vince looks like he’s been gestating for the better part of five years. In Touch Weekly just confirmed that Vince Vaughn and his new wife Kyla Weber (Kyla Weber-Vaughn) are expecting their first child together:

“Wedding Crashers” star Vince Vaughn and wife Kyla Weber are expecting a baby following their wedding in early January, the couple’s rep confirms exclusively to In Touch.

Last September, Vaughn said that after spending years as a bachelor he was ready for his life to be about other things, even a baby!

“It’s the first time that I really want to have kids,” he said. A friend of the couple tells In Touch Weekly the two are “thrilled” about the news.

Congratulations to the happy couple! Does anyone want to send Kyla some flowers? Because that is going to be one gigantic baby, you know it. Even though Kyla and Vince are pretty much newleyweds, they’ve been together overall for about two years, and Kyla has already been put through the ringer. Let’s hope Vince really is ready to be a dad and that he treats Kyla like gold.

There’s some controversy over differences between the US and UK versions of the poster for the Vince Vaughn movie Couples Retreat. The film was out in America in early October and did very well at the box office, earning $102 million domestically. It seems to have opened in the UK on October 14, so I’m not sure why this news is coming out now and maybe The Daily Mail is just belatedly noticing. The film features four couples on vacation together, including one minority couple played by Faizon Love and Kali Hawk. According to people who have seen the film, Love and Hawk are featured just as much as the other couples.

In the US version of the poster for the film all eight people are shown and billed, albeit with Love and Hawk in the back. In the UK version just six people are shown and listed, with Love and Hawk removed. Universal has apologized for the difference and explained that they wanted “to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets.” They also promise not to use the six-person poster for additional markets. (Couples Retreat opens in the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy later this month, among other countries.)

The makers of a hit Hollywood film are at the centre of a race controversy after removing two black actors from a poster being used to promote it in Britain.
The American advert for Couples Retreat, a comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Kristin Davis, show all eight principal actors – six of whom are white and two black.
But the poster in Britain, where the film is on general release, omits actors Faizon Love and Kali Hawk.

Couples Retreat, about four couples who go on holiday together and receive therapy to improve their relationships, has taken more than £70 million at the box office worldwide since it opened last month.

A spokesman for makers Universal Pictures confirmed the poster had been changed to ‘simplify’ it for the UK and international market outside America. The studio said it regretted causing offence and has abandoned plans to use the revised poster in other countries.

Mail on Sunday film critic Jason Solomons said: ‘We don’t cater much for the black cinema-going audience in this country, which is a great shame, so it seems strange that when there are black stars in a major feature film this fact isn’t promoted. And, in terms of business decisions, this seems a pretty counter-productive one.’

Caspar Salmon, a 29-year-old translator from London who has seen the film, has complained to Universal. He said in a letter to the film company: ‘My hackles are up. I would like to ask what the thinking was behind this move to gaz-ump [Love and Hawk] from the promotional material.’

Is this subtle racism or just an innocent gaffe? The revised posted is more visually striking because you can see the couples’ faces. It’s hard to fit that many people in there. Plus the two actors they removed aren’t as well known. They are the only African American couple in there, though, and it does seem strange that they’re the ones that were cut. It seems more interesting to have four couples instead of just three, and I’ve heard some buzz over the fact that Faizon Love shows his bare butt in one scene.

Couples Retreat star Kali Hawk has sort-of addressed this controversy on her Twitter account. She responded to a tweet from someone who wrote “I can never understand racism,” with “Thank U! I’m touched that so many people care ”

Here’s the trailer. It looks mildly funny, but it got creamed by critics. It has just a 12% aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Vince Vaughn and Kyla Weber have been engaged since March, and ever since their announcement, it seems like Vince has been trying to sabotage their relationship. Vince likes to have his cake and eat it too – and the man loves his cake, judging from his bloated figure. He wants to only hang out with his guy friends, tour every bar in America (and then some), flirt with the chicas, and come home to his doting mother, all while maintaining his “relationship” with Kyla. But Vince wants us to know – in time for his new film Couples Retreat - that he’s finally ready, at the age of 39, to settle down. Yes, it seems Vince is experiencing “the first time” he ever felt like being a dad. But is he ready to actually settle down with one woman, and not the neverending stream of bar-girls and college students?

Vince Vaughn swings no more.

Now engaged to Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber, Vaughn, 39, says he wants to start a family and settle down.

The funny guy even says he’s ready for diaper duty. “It’s the first time that I really want to have kids,” he told PEOPLE while promoting his new comedy Couples Retreat.

“I’ve been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You’re ready for your life to be about other people and other things,” Vaughn said.

While filming the movie – costarring his longtime pal Jon Favreau and directed by another friend, Peter Billingsley – Vaughn spent time in exotic Bora Bora with his soon-to-be wife and members of his family. “We had a lot of fun, which was good, and my sister was there and my nephew was there,” he says.

And his buddies have given their approval.

“I’m very happy for Vince. He’s marrying an amazing girl,” says Billingsley, the former child star of A Christmas Story. “It’s a natural cycle of life that we all go in.”

But Billingsley admits one thing is dramatically different from the days when Vaughn and Favreau – who starred in the 1996 Swingers – were making the Hollywood scene.

“The parties are a lot different than they used to be – that’s for sure!” Billingsley says. “I still come with the point of view to have a great time, but it’s kids and strollers and babies and clowns.”

Maybe he has changed and I’m just giving the guy a hard time. Could be. It’s just that Vince incites a bit of rage in me. I used to love the big lug, many, many years ago. But now I look at him and I just think he’s pissed away his talent and he’s pissed away his good looks. Maybe he’s happy doing comedies – obviously, there’s a lot of money there. But he was once a really good actor, and now it feels like he only gets the “buffoon” roles. As for his personal life, I think Vince, much like George Clooney, has started looking around the room at his friends, and he’s just realized he’s the last unmarried guy, the only guy without kids. My guess is that he wants to get married and be a dad because he thinks he’s at that age, but really he still wants to hang out in bars and be skeevy.

The other night, Vince appeared on Jay Leno’s show for a short interview to promote Couples Retreat. Jay made him do the segment “Earn Your Plug”. Jay made Vince workout with 95-year-old Jack LaLanne. LaLanne made Vince do dips in a chair, which Vince did with little effort and good humor. After Vince finished, he gave LaLanne a big kiss, which was really sweet.

We’ve already heard the sordid tale of Vince Vaughn, his fiance Kyla Weber and his mother. Something about Mama Vaughn not thinking some random Canadian slut was good enough for her baby boy, and doing everything in her power to make sure Kyla heads for the hills. In that story, and in Mama Vaughn’s defense, Vince is a big, fat baby who won’t stand up to his mother, and won’t stand up for Kyla. My advice to Kyla at the time was “Run, Kyla, run!”

Now Kyla’s got more problems – it seems Vince isn’t prepared to give up his frat boy ways. Kyla is “fed up” with Vince’s partying and his douchebag friends, and she thinks Vince is out there hooking up with random girls all of the time. Vince tries to console Kyla by telling her he’s never strayed, but she doesn’t believe him (I wouldn’t either):

Vince Vaughn proposed to his girlfriend, Kyla Weber, earlier this year, but according to an insider, some friends are wondering whether they’ll ever make it down the aisle.

“Kyla is fed up that Vince still parties with his guy friends,” the insider says, noting that his notorious playboy reputation doesn’t help. “She’s heard stories of him flirting with other women, and she’s not pleased.”

The insider adds that Vince insists that he loves the Canadian real estate agent and he’s never strayed – he just likes hanging out with his pals. But Kyla isn’t so sure.

“They’re still engaged, but their future looks kind of iffy,” the friend says. “Some of their pals won’t be shocked if they call off their engagement.” A rep for the actor denies the report.

[From In Touch, print edition, June 8 2009]

Doesn’t Vince seem like one of those guys who, when he wants to break up with a girl, starts treating her like crap so she’ll break up with him? I think that’s what’s happening with Vince and Kyla. He’s not ready to settle down, he doesn’t want to give up his friends or stand up to his mother, so he’s just waiting until Kyla breaks off the engagement. Run, Kyla, run!

This story is hysterical. It seems that recently engaged Vince Vaughn is caught between two women – his mother and his fiancee, Kyla Weber. Kyla and Mama Vaughn (Sharon) are fighting all of the time, and if Star Magazine’s report is anywhere close to the truth, it looks like Vince’s mom needs to get a major grip.

Kyla and Vince are planning on moving into the Chicago residence he purchased in 2006 (when he was with Jennifer Aniston) after the renovations are complete. Ah, here in lies the rub. Mama Vaughn wants to oversee the renovations to her son’s house, and decorate everything to her style. And no, Mama Vaughn is not going to live with the engaged couple. Sharon is just doing this because she lives her wittle-woogey boy, and Sharon doesn’t want some nasty slut fiancee running in and changing the very special dust ruffle she picked out.

Kyla is obviously perturbed by these developments. Not just Mama Vaughn’s decorating, but the gross Oedipal codependency Vince and Sharon seem to have. Run, Kyla, run!

Vince Vaughn is caught between two women! The actor’s fiancee, Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber, and his mother, Sharon, clash constantly – and mama’s boy Vince can’t do much to defuse the explosive situation.

“Vince wants to make both of them happy, but it’s rarely possible. Sharon can be overbearing and likes to have her way, and Vince doesn’t like to confront her and upset her,” an insider tells Star. “That makes it hard on Kyla. It was a problem when he was with Jennifer Aniston too.”

Things have been particularly tense between Sharon and Kyla since they both began remodeling and refurnishing Vince’s three-floor Chicago residence, which he bought with Jennifer but then took over after their December 2006 split.

“Kyla wants to make the changes, since she’s the one who’ll actually be living there, but Sharon is not thrilled about her ideas,” says the insider.

“Sharon already decorated the place the way she wanted it and doesn’t like it when people question her decisions. She flipped when Kyla changed the bedding!”

Although Sharon’s “claws really came out” after Vince, 39, proposed to Kyla, 29 – her dad confirmed the engagement in March – trouble has been brewing between the two women for months, says the insider.

“For Christmas, Vince got his mom and Kyla the exact same car, so Sharon wouldn’t be offended – but he didn’t tell Kyla. Neither Mom nor Kyla wanted the cars after they found out.”

Ultimately, the hard-charging mama bear is likely to prevail in the battle of wills. “Kyla’s really a nice girl, and she hates having all this drama,” says the insider.

“She;s beginning to pull back and just let Sharon have her way.”

I love that “mama’s boy Vince can’t do much to defuse the explosive situation”. He could tell his mother to chill, couldn’t he? He could, oh, I don’t know, take his soon-to-be wife’s side and actually stand up to his mother for two seconds. All I could think when I read this was “Oh, that’s why he never got married… he’s already got a wife, his mother.” Kyla probably thinks that if she stays, she’s smart. That old broad can’t live forever, right? But if Kyla was really smart, she would get the hell out of there.

Vince Vaughn has been notably absent from the promotional rounds for his hit movie Four Christmases, while Reese Witherspoon has been promoting it like her life depends on it. Is it because he’s trying to keep a low public profile leading up to his engagement?

In Touch has this, “Vince Vaughn is hoping to go from a Wedding Crasher to a wedding planner — he intends to propose to his girlfriend, Kyla Weber, over the New Year’s holiday. According to one of Vince’s buddies, the actor has already picked out a diamond engagement ring that is more than 4 carats and costs around $125,000.”

The magazine claims that the chatty source added, “Vince is ready to get married and has been for a while,” his pal explains. “He wants to start a family.” This all sounds very familiar if you flash back about a year and half as many reports had Vince and Jennifer married several times over.

The report notes that another sign that might suggest it’s the real deal is that “In September, the couple was spotted meeting with his parents in Chicago. Vince, 38, has dated many actresses, including Jennifer Aniston, but Kyla is a former real estate agent from a town near Calgary, Canada.”

National Ledger

I’m not sure how good a ‘pal’ this source can be of Vince’s, since he’s blowing the lid on his plans to ask his girlfriend to marry him. If Vince is planning a big romantic surprise, he’s not going to be pleased when his girlfriend reads about it online.

Unfortunately, the report mentions Jennifer Aniston several times over, including in the headline. If Vince does get married and have a family, will she get featured all over again as the woman who let the husband and kids get away?

I somewhat doubt Vince is getting engaged this weekend, I think the real reason he skipped the Four Christmases promotion was that the film just really isn’t that funny, Reese and Vince lack chemistry. Maybe they really didn’t get along on the film set, and he can’t be counted on like Reese to be polite and cheerful about their working relationship in interviews.

Reese Witherspoon hit the publicity trail hard for her comedy Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. She’s been doing the late night TV circuit and has granted plenty of interviews. While Reese’s perma-grin has been plastered all over magazines, Vaughn has done nary an interview. He also didn’t show up to the premiere of Four Christmases in LA. There was an interview with Vince in Esquire Magazine that came out earlier this month that kept mentioning how fat he was, but apart from that I couldn’t find much. Maybe he gained a lot of weight and isn’t comfortable making appearances, or maybe the rumors about a rift with type-A Witherspoon are true. Either way, he seems like a poor sport for not doing his part to promote the film.

It didn’t matter much that Vaughn didn’t hold up his end of the promotion bargain. Four Christmases really cleaned up at the box office this Thanksgiving. It took in $46.7 million in five days, which makes it the third biggest holiday opening of all time. Families flocked to the PG-13 comedy despite the general disapproval of critics. The film only has a 26% aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying that there’s little or no chemistry between leads Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon and that the gags are predictable and overdone.

People needed something to see this season and they picked this lukewarm comedy. Sometimes microwaved leftovers are just the thing to hit the spot. Did any of you see this film and did you like it? Was it worth the price of admission and an hour and a half of your time? Maybe Vaughn thought it was going to tank and decided to bail early. Reese doesn’t give up though, and this time she was vindicated.

This story comes from Star Magazine, so it could be wishful thinking, but supposedly Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are talking about filming a sequel to their 2006 movie The Breakup. Aniston’s salary for the film is said to be nearly $20 million:

[Aniston and Vaughn] are in talks to film a sequel to the 2006 hit movie The Breakup. “The ending left a lot of people craving more,” says an insider. And Jen has been offered close to $20 million to give the people what they want!

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 13, 2008]

I’ll believe this is actually in the works once I read it in Variety or People. The film did well at the box office, with a domestic take of $118 million, and a foreign box office of $86 million. You can see how producers would be motivated to put out a sequel. We’ll have to wait and see.

In related news, Star reports that Vince Vaughn’s mom still tries to control him and has been nagging him about his career and even his wardrobe. Vaughn’s mom is said to be interfering in his relationship with his new girlfriend, Kyls Webber, 29. Star claims that Mrs. Vaughn even brings up Vince’s ex, Jennifer Aniston, all the time, maybe in an attempt to scare Kyla off:

Not only does Sharon Vaughn tell her 38-year-old son what to wear, she even dictates what movies he should work on, says a source. “She also keeps bringing up Vince’s ex, Jennifer Aniston. She just loves Jennifer! She talks about her beauty, her warm heart, her generosity.” Kyla, a 29-year-old commercial real estate agent, is “wondering when Vince will finally stand up to his mom,” says the source.

[From Star Magazine, print edition, October 13, 2008]

If Vince’s mommy loves Aniston so much, she’ll definitely approve of a sequel in which he plays her love interest on screen again. If any of this is true, that is.

Reese Witherspoon has the reputation that she’s much like her perky character Tracy Flick in 1999′s thoroughly amusing Election. She’s determined, prepared, and no-nonsense and isn’t about to take crap from anyone. In fact she named her production company “Type A Films,” so it’s not like she’s trying to come off like she’s anything but a go-getter.

There have been several stories of Reese, 32, fighting on the set of her upcoming film, Four Christmases, with her co-star, comic Vince Vaughn. They’re even said to have called off a sex scene by mutual agreement because they can’t stand one another. Vaughn has denied having any kind of feud with Witherspoon, though, and told Parade that “We’ve been having a really good time. You predicted that the press would say that we were dating, but they went the other way and said we’re fighting.”

The 38 year-old actor known for his everyman personality and somewhat slovenly appearance has a pretty laid-back approach to work and was said to often improvise his lines to the annoyance of ever-prepared Reese. Now that the film is in the can and the two will have to do press tours together Reese isn’t looking forward to that either. She will deal with it like a professional with a perma-grin, though, and we wouldn’t expect anything less from Reese:

According to a friend, Reese is dreading the movie’s promotional tour with Vince, whom she describes as “the biggest child I’ve ever met!”

“Promoting a movie involves long hours, and she’ll have to spend a lot of time with someone who gets under her skin,” the pal tells OK!.

“Reese is professional — she’ll grit her teeth, fake a smile and pose for pictures — but she’s not looking forward to it.”

Reese has also asked her ex-hubby, Ryan Phillippe to care for their kids, Ava and Deacon so she can keep her cool with the other child in her life: her co-star.

Reports of tension emerged from their film set late last year with perfectionist Reese even speaking out about the freewheeling ad-libber.

“I said to him one day, ‘People can’t talk as fast as you think.’ You can’t keep up with him. But I feel like I’ve been in training — Vince Vaughn training!”

[From OK! Magazine]

Four Christmases will be out before the holidays and right before Thanksgiving, on November 26. It will surely benefit from the long weekend in the states after it’s released.

I saw the trailer, below, and laughed quite a few times. It really looks like a decent and funny film. If Reese and Vince really couldn’t stand one another maybe they channeled that for the fighting scenes.

Comic Vince Vaughn, 38, seems to have found love again in the arms of an attractive brunette. He’s been seen out with the woman several times, and Mark Malkin of E! Online notes that Vince was having dinner with her and another couple at a sushi restaurant in Las Vegas on Monday night. The four blew through three bottles of wine and the restaurant stayed open an extra hour, until 1 am, to accommodate them.

This isn’t the first time Vaughn has been spotted out with his new girlfriend. Star Magazine identifies her as a 29 year-old real estate agent from Canada who was introduced to Vince by a mutual friend:

Vince has found new love with pretty Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber, 29.

“It’s pretty serious,” says a source. “They’ve been dating for three months.”

Vince and Kyla – who lives in the small town of Okotoks, Alberta, and works for [a realty company - redacted] in nearby Calgary – met through a movie producer friend for Vince’s while Kyla was visiting pals in Vence Beach, California in May.

The two were spotted lunching at Little Dom’s in the Los Feliz district of L.A. on Aug. 3. Later that night, they were said to be kissing at a Dolly Parton concert. “Things are going great between them,” says the source. “Kyla’s racking up a lot of frequent flier miles going to L.A. to see him.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 8, 2008]

I don’t know why it makes me happy to hear that Vince Vaughn has a new girlfriend he’s been with for a few months. Normally I don’t pay much attention to the guy and he kind of strikes me as a lout. Maybe it’s because his girlfriend is just an average person who happened to meet him through friends and romance blossomed. It’s also nice to hear when people are together but aren’t courting the spotlight. Plus another celebrity/non celebrity pairing might hold the promise of a wedding and babies, and it’s always nice to see a new person join the too-familiar celebrity circuit, ala Camila Alves and Luciana Damon. Best wishes to Vince and Kyla. I’m Not Obsessed has pictures of the two together.
