Vince Vaughn was on Ellen Friday to promote his upcoming “comedy,” The Dilemma. He spoke at length about his new wife, Kyla Weber, and their newborn daughter, Locklyn, who was born in late December. Vince called his wife “the best girl in the world” and explained that she came into his life at just the right time for him to settle down. It was quite sweet actually.

Vince: Let me tell you something. I met the best girl in the world. It gives you such a great purpose in your life. If I would’ve met her, I would’ve done it a long time ago so I’m very, very happy.
Ellen: I agree with you. You need to meet that one right person.
Vince: It’s being ready for that too. And sometimes, in our industry, well, I speak for myself, maybe that’s an excuse but you don’t mature always at the same time so if I was very fortunate that when I got ready and was open to that, then that person came into my life
Ellen: So maybe if you would’ve met her earlier, then it wouldn’t have worked out. So you met her at exactly the right time.
Vince: Exactly. You have to be ready to receive that. No question.
Ellen: So you have the little baby. Were you in the delivery room when she was born?
Vince: I was.
Ellen: What’s her name?
Vince: Her name is Locklynn.
Ellen: We should start calling her by her name and not “the baby.”
Vince: She’ll have to learn. If I just call her “Baby” then she’ll love the movie “Dirty Dancing” but she won’t know her proper name. No one puts her in a corner. Laughs

It’s so nice when a celebrity reveals how special and meaningful their partner is to them, especially when it’s unexpected.

Showbiz Spy has more from Vince about the birth of his daughter, and he said that he was crying and was an “emotional wreck.” In in earlier interview, Vince enthused about the first time he went to a pediatrician appointment with his wife and their daughter, saying that they were “going to an appointment as a family. It’s just a great feeling.”

I never thought we’d hear such personal details from Vaughn, because he just doesn’t seem the type to share that sort of thing. It’s clear that marriage and fatherhood have changed him – for now at least. Is it super bitchy to say that it will get old soon enough?

Honestly, I had forgotten that Vince Vaughn and his wife Kyla Weber were expecting their first child, so imagine my surprise when I just read that Vince is now the proud father of a little girl. The name? Locklyn Kyla Vaughn. Um… Locklyn? She sounds like a security system. “Trust your family with Locklyn Vaughn Security!” As for giving the mother’s name as her daughter’s middle name… eh. I don’t hate it or love it. If it’s a family name that gets passed down through the generations, I could understand it. But I find it hard to believe that Kyla Weber’s grandmother was Ol’ Grammy Kyla Buttons.

Christmas came early for Vince Vaughn, with his wife Kyla Weber giving birth to a healthy baby girl on Saturday morning, Dec. 18, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, who weighed 7 lbs. and measured 20 inches long, was born at a hospital in Chicago, Vaughn’s hometown. The actor’s rep confirms the good news.

“Both of them couldn’t be happier to welcome their sweet little girl into their family!” says a friend of the couple’s.

It’s a first child for both Vaughn, 40, and Weber, a Canadian real estate agent, who married in January 2010.

When Weber’s pregnancy was announced in July, a source close to the Couples Retreat star told PEOPLE that the pair were thrilled about the baby, saying, “They’re having so much fun together and they’re so excited to be first-time parents!”

Vaughn stars with Kevin James in the upcoming The Dilemma, to be released on Jan. 14, 2011.

I realized I must have sounded like a total bitch just now when I was bitching about the name (seriously, LOCKLYN?), so let me say: congratulations! I’m very happy for Vince and for Kyla, and Kyla has my thoughts and prayers in this, and everything else. Let’s hope Vince’s over-bearing mother isn’t ruining this special time for the happy family.

The trailer for Vince Vaughn’s upcoming film The Dilemma initially featured a pretty lame scene at the beginning in which Vaughn’s character joked that electric cars are “gay.” The trailer came out right before the highly talked-about series of gay teen suicides, after which more press outlets covered the issue of bullying. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper spoke out against that trailer specifically, saying that “we’ve got to do something to make those words unacceptable cause those words are hurting kids.” As a result, Universal pulled that trailer and put out a new one along with a statement that they were sensitive to the issue. Gay advocacy group GLAAD said they’d contacted Universal immediately after the trailer came out but received no response. They’ve had a campaign for some time urging people to stop using gay as a put down. Now that the scene has been cut from the trailer (but is still playing in some theaters due to logistical issues) people are wondering whether if it will also be cut from the film, due out in January, 2011. The star of the movie wants it to air as-is, though. Vince Vaughn has issued a statement weighing in on the controversy.

Vince Vaughn doesn’t think The Dilemma has much of a problem.

Responding to the controversy over his character calling an electric car “gay,” a clip that originally made it into the comedy’s theatrical trailer, Vaughn has come down on the side of leaving the scene intact.

“Let me add my voice of support to the people outraged by the bullying and persecution of people for their differences, whatever those differences may be,” the sometimes-boorish, sometimes-cuddly actor said in a statement Thursday.

“Comedy and joking about our differences breaks tension and brings us together. Drawing divided lines over what we can and cannot joke about does exactly that; it divides us. Most importantly, where does it stop.”

[From E! Online]

That was very well put. I still don’t agree with him, but I appreciate the way that he made his point despite his poor slippery slope argument. There’s also something to be said for the fact that he’s giving his opinion amid all this controversy. Personally, I cannot fault him for having a different opinion and I respect the way he phrased his statement.

However, I still maintain that associating the word “gay” with “lame” gives the impression that being gay is somehow inadequate. This can be particularly damaging to gay young people who are struggling with their identity. Kids are going to talk smack and bully each other, but adults and movie stars can set a much better example than that. If all they can come up with to introduce us to their movie is a bit in which they use “gay” as a putdown then that’s truly lame. That scene should be cut from the movie, just like it was cut from the trailer.

Here are some PSAs to try and stop the use of “that’s gay” as a putdown. Why don’t we start saying “that’s so Vince Vaughn”? You wouldn’t even have to explain it to anyone, you know?

A couple of weeks ago, Kaiser reported on the trailer for upcoming Ron Howard-directed comedy The Dilemma, starring Vince Vaughn, Kevin Jones and Winona Ryder. It looks really dumb but more than that it started with a dud of a joke in which Vaughn’s character called electric cars “gay”. It’s offensive and homophobic and although the trailer was put before the recent batch of gay youth suicides, everyone involved should have known better. “Gay” is not a put down.

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper spoke to Ellen Degeneres via satellite on the issue of bullying, and he brought up the trailer as an example of how media is making it seem ok to mock people’s sexual orientations. He also made a lot of good points about how the Internet makes bullying both easier and more cruel to victims.

There’s a lot of intolerance in the world and that trickles down to school…

I do think there’s something happening in our culture of sort of a lack of empathy that’s grown…

We’re living online now and it’s very easy to be cruel to people online, we’ve seen a huge uptake of cyberbullying…

[Bullying] is much different than it used to be for us, who grew up in a pre-computer generation…

I was sitting in a movie theater over the weekend and there was a preview of a movie, and in it, the actor said, ‘that’s so gay,’ and I was shocked that not only that they put it in the movie, but that they put that in the preview, they thought that it was okay to put that in a preview for the movie to get people to go and see it.

I just find those words, those terms, we’ve got to do something to make those words unacceptable cause those words are hurting kids. Someone else I talked to recently said that the words people use and the things people say about other kids online, it enters into their internal dialogue. And when you’re a kid, it can change the way you see yourself and the way you think about yourself, and the worth that you give to yourself. I think we need to really focus on what language we’re using and how we’re treating these kids.

[Transcript via The Huffington Post and Just Jared]

Cooper said he wasn’t bullied at school because he went to a small school. He called himself a “bystander” and said he witnessed kids making fun of a classmate for stuttering. He didn’t say anything about it as a kid because he was afraid of being bullied too. Ellen said we need a class in school to teach kids about diversity. She also pointed out that bullying and the use of negative terms for gay people is not a gay/straight issue. They both said that it’s time that we make the “F” word and “that’s gay” unacceptable. Cooper reiterated that we “really need to focus on what language we’re using” and how that affects kids’ self esteem.

So are they going to clean up the trailer for this very terrible-looking movie? Are they going to remove this scene or change the language in light of the recent tragedies? I would hope that something is done about it soon, especially now that they’re being called out for it. I’m team Cooper. You can see the trailer here if you’re interested. Let’s not mess this post up with any photos of Vaughn, ok?

Granted, I haven’t been a Vince Vaughn fan in quite some time. Right around the time when he started gaining a lot of weight, losing his hair, and doing really stupid movies. But what the hell is Oscar-winning director Ron Howard thinking with this steaming pile of dung? Below is the trailer for the new “comedy” The Dilemma. These seems like a fake trailer that would be put in one of those spoof movies, like How To Lose The Break-Up Because He’s Just Not That Into You. The premise: does one dude tell his best bud that his wife is cheating on him. This could be a film about morality and ethics and it could have easily swung to drama. Instead, it looks like Ron Howard just took a really idiotic premise that wasn’t even enough for a 20 minute film, and filled it with poop jokes and gay jokes. WTF?

Why for the love of God would you start your trailer with one of the worst bits in the film (I’m assuming, but I guess the “Electric cars are gay” bit could be one of the highlights…)? And what the f-ck is Latifah doing in this junk? Over the weekend I just watched Latifah in a really underrated, sweet little rom-com called Just Wright. It was adorable! Latifah is so much better than playing second fiddle to Vince’s gut and whatever Kevin James is doing in this crapfest. But really, you could say that about all of the ladies – Jennifer Connelly? FOR REAL? And Winona Ryder?!? I mean, I kind of get the Winona thing, she’s at the point where she’s just taking what’s she’s being offered. But Connelly… did Ron Howard help her dispose of a hobo’s body or something?

And finally, a lament for Vince Vaughn. Who ever thought when they saw Swingers for the first time that Vince would end up a fat balding douche making an endless stream of mainstream comedies in which the real star is the endless supply of poop jokes? Vaughn was supposed to be the big breakout actor, remember? He was supposed to be, like, the next Tom Hanks or something. I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by poop jokes, bloated, dumb.

My first thought when I saw that Vince Vaughn had gotten hitched to fiancée Kyla Weber was “finally!” Which is weird, because they only got engaged last February/March, so it’s not like the engagement was neverending. It just felt that way, because of all of the reports that Vince was looking for a way out, and that Vince’s overprotective mama didn’t approve, et cetera. At one point I even thought they called the whole thing off, but they didn’t. Anyway, Vince’s rep confirms that Vince and Kyla were married on January 2, in Chicago. No mention of what the bride and groom wore:

He’s a swinger no more.

Vince Vaughn married Kyla Weber in a small private ceremony before family and friends on Saturday outside of his hometown of Chicago, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

Vaughn, 39, proposed to Weber, 31, a Canadian real estate agent, last Valentine’s Day. “They could not be happier,” a friend tells PEOPLE. The wedding took place at a historic mansion.

Vaughn told PEOPLE in September that after years as a bachelor he was ready for his life “to be about other people and other things” – even diaper duty. “It’s the first time that I really want to have kids,” he said.

The is the first marriage for Weber and the star of Swingers and Couples Retreat. Vaughn had previously dated Jennifer Aniston.

Hm… do you think Kyla is knocked up? I doubt it, actually. They’ve been together for about two years, so I think if she was going to get pregnant to hurry things up, she would have done it earlier. Michael K at Dlisted is calling Kyla a golddigger, but I’m not so sure. Could it be that she just thought Vince was the best she could do? While I loved Vince in his early days, he looks like a man who smells and drinks too much these days. So, anyway, congratulations to the happy couple!

When I first saw the pictures of Vince Vaughn out to dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, below, I had to do a double-take. I truly thought it was John Goodman at first. Vince hasn’t looked hot in a long time, but his rapid physical decline is a little scary. He’s put on a lot of weight, and that hairline just keeps creeping back, faster than Prince William’s. Yikes.

Anyway, it looks like Vince has found a girl who will stick with him through thick and thicker. His fiancée Kyla Weber joined him at dinner at Madeo, even though he was dressed like a bad Sopranos extra. On Sunday, Kyla and Vince went to his hometown, Chicago, where they took in a Chicago Cubs game:

Vince Vaughn may be a guy’s guy, but he still knows how to treat the ladies. The actor cheered on his hometown team the Chicago Cubs as they beat the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday and he brought along his fiance Kyla Weber for all of the fun. A onlooker gave RadarOnline.com the rundown of Vaughn’s chivalrous sports etiquette so pay attention boys!

“Vince brilliantly walked the line between devoted sports fan and doting partner with Kyla. When he wasn’t clapping and rooting for his beloved Cubs, he had his arm around her in a really easy way,” the onlooker said. “He was constantly looking over at Kyla with a smile on his face.”

“It was a beautiful Sunday in the park which they shared with each other and another couple.”

[From Radar]

I can’t even begin to describe how surprised I am. Back in May, there seemed to be a string of stories about Vince being a big ol’ mama’s boy who refused to stand up for Kyla. There were multiple stories about Vince ignoring Kyla so he could still hang out with his buddies and act like he was still the Big Man on Campus. It looks like Kyla stuck with him through a rough patch – and they might be closer than ever. But we still haven’t heard anything about a wedding date being set, have we? They got engaged in March - but still no sight of a wedding gown. Will they just end up one of those permanently engaged couples?

One of Hollywood’s most notorious bachelors is getting ready to tie the knot. “Wedding Crashers” star Vince Vaughan, once linked to Jennifer Aniston, is engaged to Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber. Wow! This one was somewhat of a shocker to me. I always thought Vince would go the way of George Clooney. He seemed like the kind of guy who likes to have fun and never settle down. But maybe that’s just because of the characters he always plays in his movies. Apparently, the couple was trying to keep it under wraps, but the cat was let out of the bag by Weber’s father, who confirmed the engagement to a Canadian newspaper. I didn’t even know Vince was dating anyone!

It’s true.

Actor Vince Vaughn is set to marry 29-year-old Calgary realtor Kyla Weber shortly, her father confirmed Thursday.

Ken Weber confirmed that his daughter is indeed engaged to the Wedding Crashers funnyman, but chose not to comment further. He says his daughter is presently in Los Angeles and no longer in Calgary.

Weber quickly became a hot topic on Wednesday when news broke that Vaughn had dropped to one knee and presented her a $125,000, four-carat ring on Valentine’s Day. There is no word on when or where the two will get married.

Internet sources claim Weber is originally from the town of Okotoks, just south of the city, and either met the Wedding Crashers star while vacationing in Venice Beach, California, or in Italy. The pair are rumoured to have met through a movie producer friend of Vaughn’s.

In Touch Magazine spoke with a friend of Vaughn’s in December who said that the 38-year-old actor is looking to settle down.

“Vince is ready to get married and has been for a while,” says the buddy. “He wants to start a family.”

Since his previous high-profile romance to Friends star Jennifer Aniston quickly became tabloid fodder, the Minnesota-born actor, has been reluctant to discuss the details of his new engagement.

“I don’t talk much about private matters,” Vaughn told USA Today last year. “But I am in a very happy, serious, committed relationship.”

Coincidently, Vaughn’s Canadian-born mother was also a real estate agent.

[From The Montreal Gazette]

Congratulations to Vince and his bride-to-be. It’s actually pretty cool that Vince found happiness with a normal girl instead of another Hollywood actress-type. He just might turn out to be a great husband. He seems like he’d be a lot of fun, you know? The kind of guy you could crack open a beer with at the end of a long day.Ms. Weber is one lucky lady.

It seems that Reese Witherspoon wasn’t the one responsible for canning her sex scene with Vince Vaughn on the set of their new film Four Christmases. Vince wasn’t keen to do the scene either.

It had previously been reported Reese was refusing to film a bedroom romp with the Wedding Crashers star in their new movie Four Christmases, but an insider has revealed it was Vince who was against the scene.

The on set source said: “Vince is a producer on the movie and made sure that there was no sex scene between them in the film. She and Vince are professionals, but they both said no!”

The 37-year-old actor also approved most of the script, which tells the story of a couple whose divorced parents do not get on, so decide to celebrate Christmas separately with each of them.

The Age

Given that Vince and Reese haven’t been getting along on set, I’d guess the scene was dropped because there is nothing worse than a lame sex scene between two people who have no chemistry at all. I suspect this film is going to suck if Vince and Reece aren’t getting along. Remember how Mr and Mrs Smith was a bit of a lame story, but it was saved by Brad and Ange’s chemistry? Well, a movie can be ruined by a lack of chemistry too.

Vince denies the rumors in a new interview with Parade magazine.Which means nothing really, because there is no way you’d do an interview saying what a bitch your co-star is, then go to work with them the next day.

On Reese Witherspoon:
Now you’re doing a film with Reese Witherspoon, and there’s been a lot of tabloid gossip that you guys have been mad at each other.

“I think there were stories that we were clashing on the set. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I adore her. She’s not only a great actress, she’s very funny. 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 two of us get along great.”

On his family:
Is it more than a coincidence that you and your sisters all have names that begin with “v”?

“My dad’s name is Vernon and my mom liked the initials, VV. My sisters and I got named Victoria, Valerie and Vincent so we’d be VV’s, too. But, then when you start getting pets’ names that start with a ‘v,’ it’s a little embarrassing. When you are Vince Vaughn, and you go out to scream for ‘Viking’ the dog to come home, that’s a little much. Then, Mom started looking in a dictionary for names and we ended up with a female Chihuahua, named Vanadis after some mythological goddess. So Victoria, Valerie and Vince were out playing with Vanadis. When I finally got a dog, I named him Rowdy. I had to break the chain.”

On Jennifer Aniston:
“I have such a great friendship with Jennifer. Really. I still talk to her constantly. I have a real, genuine connection with Jen. And I have a real appreciation of her. That continues to this day. In regular life, people date, and sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn’t. We get more attention because we’re more known. I always try to keep my relationships quiet and my work at the forefront. I haven’t been someone to go and talk about those things, because that’s not what I want to be known for.”

Parade and Perez Hilton

The whole family is named with V names, including the pets? How many years of therapy will that result in?

I wonder if it is Vince’s comment about how great his relationship with Jennifer Aniston is what sparked this story, saying that Jen is pregnant with a baby that could possibly be fathered by Vince. Jen’s publicist has denied the claims, but this would hardly be the first time a publicist has denied pregnancy claims then later admitted that there is actually a bun in the oven.

I’m not inclined to believe that Jen is pregnant with Vince’s baby, because there is no way you’d procreate with Vince when you’re dating Jason Lewis. No. Way. Ever. Have you seen those abs?

Picture note by Celebitchy: Reese Witherspoon is shown on 10/10/07 at the Rendition premiere. Vince Vaughn is shown at the premiere of Fred Claus on 11/5/07, thanks to PRPhotos.

I can’t really blame Reese Witherspoon for not getting along with Vince Vaughn on the set of their new film “Four Christmases.” He just looks like a bloated sack of potatoes to me. Sure there’s all sorts of body types from slim to thick, but he just has that dirty, lazy, slothful look to him. Something tells me Vince considers showering more than once a week optional.

The pair (Reese especially) have been getting a lot of bad press for their fighting on the set. They definitely have two opposite personalities. Reese is very “Type A” (in fact that’s the name of her production company) whereas Vince is very… whatever type lay around and fart all day is. Now several media outlets are reporting that Reese won’t do a sex scene with Vince, and Vince (who is one of the film’s producers) is refusing to change the scene.

Reese Witherspoon is refusing to film a sex scene with Vince Vaughn. The pair have reportedly been clashing constantly on the set of romantic comedy ‘Four Christmases’ and now Reese is refusing to roll around naked with Vince.

An on-set source told the New York Post newspaper: “Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene. It is meant to be a funny, ‘American Pie’-style romp, full of bumps and laughs, but Reese is such a prude, she thinks it’s just too much.”

Despite being an Oscar winner and a more highly-paid Hollywood star, Reese is unlikely to win the argument as Vince is one of the film’s producers. The 37-year-old actor also oversaw much of the script writing, about a couple whose divorced parents do not get on, so they decide to celebrate Christmas separately with each of them. It has previously been reported Reese, 31, has been unhappy with Vince’s behavior on set. While she is keen to work hard and film on schedule, he allegedly turns up to work hung-over, forgets his lines and is constantly fooling about on set.

[From Hip Hop Elements]

I don’t think Reese is a prude, she’s probably just afraid of the food in Vince Vaughn’s teeth, the random twigs in his hair, and the bramble in his bellybutton. I wouldn’t be running towards that either. Considering Vince oversaw a lot of the script writing, you just know he was rooting for a sex scene. That was before he met Reese, and learned of her obvious distaste for him. Either he gets off on women hating him, or they’re locked in a power struggle. I’m guessing it’s a little bit of both. Maybe he should try a little of the old Vince Vaughn charm… you know, from back in the day when he had charm. “Swingers” style. Try a little showering. Maybe washing of the underwear. And then see where that gets him.
