Jen and Vince deny deny deny


Vince and Jen were engaged for three hours yesterday, and everyone was tentatively happy for gloomy Aniston. Not even a well-Photoshopped magazine cover with a fake headline can get these two together publically, because they denied the rumor almost as soon as it was out. But – hold your horses – Jennifer’s publicist is known for his baldfaced lies, so this could possibly be true!

Despite making a joint appearance on Us Weekly’s latest cover under the blaring headline, “Vince Proposes! Jen Says Yes!,” Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn remain unengaged, according to the former Friends star’s rep.

“It is not true–they are not engaged,” Stephen Huvane told E! News on Wednesday.

Of course, as Us Weekly was only too happy to point out on its Website, Huvane has a history of issuing denials over reports that later turned out to be accurate.

For example, in November 1999, when Aniston was spotting wearing a diamond sparkler on her left ring finger, Huvane denied that she was engaged to Brad Pitt, claiming the bauble was “not an engagement ring,” and he continued to deny that the pair planned to marry up until their June 29, 2000 wedding.

In December 2004, two weeks before Pitt and Aniston announced their split, Huvane maintained that all was well in their union. “They are looking forward to spending the holidays with each other. There is no split. They are fine,” he told Us Weekly.

In February 2005, Huvane denied reports that Aniston planned to move back into her former Hollywood Hills home, claiming it had been leased out to Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. Lo and behold, the couple was asked to move out that month so that Aniston could move back in later that year.

Finally, when rumors that Aniston and Vaughn were dating first surfaced in July 2005, Huvane denied there was any romantic interest. “Vince is a good friend of Jennifer’s. I think the tabloids are so eager to see her with someone romantically that they just make these false assumptions,” he told the New York Post.

When Jen and Vince go out of their way to avoid each other publically, and Vince is completely unable to acknowledge the relationship, it makes it obvious that he’s unwilling to commit.

If US Weekly is right and there is an actual engagement, it seems like a last-ditch effort by Vince to keep Jen. He strikes me as the type of guy you can never pin down who would only ask Jen to marry him if he had no other options. My last boyfriend before I met my husband was like that. I dealt with his indecision for two years before that lousy relationship finally bit the dust. You can’t get blood out of a stone, and a man won’t change for you. Instead of trying to get a pet or focusing on other things, you should trade those type of guys in for a better model.

This doesn’t make sense though, because aren’t they supposed to be planning a huge wedding now? If they just got engaged at this point – and even if they didn’t, logic dictates that all the wedding stories are false. People don’t plan weddings before they’re engaged.
