Vince Vaughn Credits Aniston for His Success

Funny man Vince Vaughn credits his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston for his success, insisting the relationship "made him famous."

Vaughn says, "If you go out with someone famous, you'll get a certain level of attention around you but it was never something I focused on."

Vaughn also said that his high profile relationship with Aniston had a huge impact on his career, it certainly did wonders for 'The Break Up.'

I don't know about you guys but I've been a huge Vince Vaughn fan since 'Swingers.' I just think he became more of a tabloid star after dating Aniston.

It is not Jen who made Vince famous - it is because he is so damn funny, adorable, talented and good looking! He's got it all. He would've kept getting more popular whether he ever dated Jen or not.

Still praying for you Dave. I'm eternally hopeful you can get over your Jennifer/Vince/Paul obsession and no longer spend your days crawling You Tube, Hollyscoop, Fametastic, IVillage, Splash News, X17, ImNotObsessed, Entertainment Wise, Gossip-Girls and all the other blog sites, looking for Jennifer and Vince articles so you can post your boring, repetitive crap "I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!! PR....BELIEVE ME PLEASE, I KNOW!!!!!" :) :)

Wow!! some of you people get so touchy about this stuff. It's almost like you really know these people. How funny. Well personally, I didn't know who Jennifer was until she got with Pitt. I never watch friends. The show just seemed lame to me. Anyway, i saw derailed and didn't care for it. It was a bit predicatable. Friends with money was boring. Rumor has it was alright. I'm a big Shirely McClaine fan. I saw the break up and thought it was okay. I had to watch it for the second time to really appreciate it. Again, it was alright. I like Vince Vaughn. He makes me laugh. I'm not a big Jen fan as far as her acting. Never really thought she had a strong onscreen present. Although she did pretty good in the "Good Girl"... Personality wise I think she's seems pretty cool.

11/09/2007 04:39 AM>>> I DONT VALUE YOUR COMMENTS. THEY CONTRIBUTE NOTHING. THEY ARE PERSONAL AND PRESUMPTUOUS. SIMPLE. IGNORE THE COMMENT IF YOU DONT LIKE IT. YOU DONT OWN THIS TALK BACK.

4:39AM 11/09/07 anonymous

Too bad Dave/Mike, I never wished death on you. It's called a figure of speech, wishing the death of one's obsession, not death of the person himself. But nice try buddy, you're just as bad as the media is at taking comments out of context. I also love your quick witted replies to yourself, showing support for yourself. One minute apart man, don't make it any more obvious. How pathetic!! I'm still praying for you Dave/Mike, I hope the obsession dies one day so you can live a healthy, happy life free from all things Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. Fingers and toes crossed for you man, peace out.

4:38AM 11/09/07 tabloid vomit, verbal venom and brimstone

11/09/2007 04:21 AM=> "let's all join forces" and follow my hypocritical religion where I wish death on someone then pray for them because I am too stupid to realise that other people have something to say ?

4:32AM 11/09/07 dave

LOL salsl

4:31AM 11/09/07 salsl

11/09/2007 04:21 AM : why don't you wish death on your own stupid comments ?

4:30AM 11/09/07 reality

11/09/2007 04:21 AM : wishing me death ? isn't that a sin ? YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FIRE FOR WISHING DEATH ON SOMEONE ACCORDING TO YOU RELIGION. No ? Please. Take your crap judgement elsewhere. You had nothing to say except repeat you lame indoctrinated relgion, follow the herd and repeat tabloid junk to someone who works in the film industry. Really. or REALLY. Whichever you prefer.

4:21AM 11/09/07 anonymous

lol, Dave/Mike's getting desperate, pulling out all his saved articles, all his numbers and figures, posting all his repetitive crap. Desperation has never been seen better than this. Let's all join forces and pray that Dave/Mike moves on from Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn one day. Let's pray his stalker obsession dies one day in the near future cos it's clearly ruining his life, causing him to get all pissed off, furiously hitting the caps lock TO GET HIS POINT ACROSS. I love it, always entertaining. Seriously guys, pray for Dave/Mike, he needs all the prayers he can get, this obsession is not healthy.

4:15AM 11/09/07 macy

look at the photo of Vince, would she really ever date him except as a disguise or for money ? no way.

4:14AM 11/09/07 steaming pile of Public Relations

WHO HAS VINCE BEEN DATING ? WHO HAS VINCE EVER DATED ? EVER ?

4:12AM 11/09/07 jane

I agree, that relationship was very weird... they were never together, never wanted to be pictured togther or anything. Vince and Jen both HATE the tabloid inquistion.

4:11AM 11/09/07 FACT IS

SELLING AN AUDIENCE A FAKE RELATIONSHIP SAVED THE BREAK UP FROM BEING ANOTHER BOMB

4:10AM 11/09/07 relationship is money

RUMOR HAS IT = Domestic Total Gross: $43,000,262 THE BREAK UP = Domestic Total Gross: $118,703,275 FRIENDS WITH MONEY = Domestic Total Gross: $13,368,437 DERAILED = Domestic Total Gross: $36,024,076 .........look at Perez Hilton, and all the other sites; personal lives are unfortunately driving the public interest in film stars....... that a major factor in the VV / JA act. Having a relationship involvement made the film turn over double what her other films did. Problem is the public loses interest in celebrities who are overly familiar. Something Huvane forgot. PS was hired. Sad but true. MR AND MRS SMITH = Domestic Total Gross: $186,336,279 BABEL = Domestic Total Gross: $34,302,837 MIGHTY HEART = Domestic Total as of Jul. 8, 2007: $8,397,000 (Estimate)

28. TED CASABLANCA/E! ONLINE 09/29 All across America, celeb watchers are wishin' and hopin' that Fudgy Poof and Diandra Dope are an item. Oh, how cute they would be! Folks can hardly talk 'bout these two without damned exclamation marks!!! He's so real--how has he remained unattached for so many years? And she's so...well, she's Diandra, and that's good enough for most. True, I'm starting to feel like all the world's an all-boys theater camp in the Catskills and I'm the one hiding in the bushes with the binoculars. Yep, here we go again. Fudgy does go a-courtin'. But not for ladies. Not even if they're all hot 'n' taut like Diandra. Oh sure, there have been whispers about Fudge-stud. But this week, he propositioned one of the manliest men I know. In public. Why so bold? Well, he's had that mopey Ms. Dope hangin' all over him. Now she's off his back, and it's his turn to do the mounting. Too bad he's not my type. But really, he's, um, not. At all. Even a little bit. IT'S NOT: Nicky Hilton, Kevin Connolly; Orlando Bloom, Kate Bosworth; Jermaine Jackson, Janet Jackson It's Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughn

4:06AM 11/09/07 pileofship

LOL. WHEN YOU HAVE A HUGE PUBLIC DIVORCE WHICH YOU NEVER HAD AND PEOPLE ARE PRESSURING YOU TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHEN YOU WANT TO BE ALONE AND YOUR MOVIES ARENT DOING WELL AND YOU KNOW THAT FAKING IT WILL WORK.... STRETCH IT.... IDIOT. EVERYONE IN THE FILM INDUSTRY KNOWS THE REAL TRUTH AND IT ISNT IN WOMANS WEEKLY.

4:03AM 11/09/07 xsaxa

anonymous: THEY WERE NEVER TOGETHER THEY SOLD YOU A MOVIE. The studios needed a hit and the audience wanted Jen to have a partner BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STUPID. So they faked it out. They NEVER EVER said that they had a romantic relationship. EVER.

2:30AM 11/09/07 anonymous

LOL, clearly this idiot has never exited a real, adult mature relationship where the couple can amicably separate and maintain some sort of a relationship, husbands and wives do it all the time. Pity you idiot, no ideas about being in a relationship, being an adult and forgetting all that has happened so you can keep the original foundation of friendship alive. FYI, according to Brad Pitt, he does maintain a friendship with his ex-wife, like loads of ex couples do.

0:46AM 11/09/07 x

"But the bottom line is they are very much friends and even after they broke up they continue to hang out." SO WHY ISNT BRAD AND TATE STILL HANGING OUT ?

0:44AM 11/09/07 x

"But the bottom line is they are very much friends and even after they broke up they continue to hang out." PEOPLE WHO REALLY BREAK UP DONT HANG OUT AFTER !!! IDIOT !!!!

11:56PM 11/08/07 insider

They were definately NOT a real couple. Vince is very gay. Ask anyone who works in Hollywood. He puts on an image because gay doesn't sell to middle America. THEY FOOLED YOU AND THE TABLOIDS !!!!!! IT WAS THEIR SECRET REVENGE ON HAVING THEIR PERSONAL LIVES INVADED BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU !!!!! LMFAO !!!!

11:47PM 11/08/07 insider

TO: 11/08/2007 10:26 PM >> FIRSTLY, it is really none of your business. She isn't Rachel, but since she has an audience, she will. FYI I know. FINALLY, I "don't talk shit".

10:26PM 11/08/07 To 12:46pm/2:25pm

What a trough of horse shit. How are we going to see that she hasn't slept around when she gets married? Is she going to open her little black book and show the world, but this will only happen when she gets married? Stop talking shit.

7:49PM 11/08/07 K

You're all full of shit. They were geniunely together. The loonies get a litle crazy with thinking everyone of her relationships are for PR purposes. She was on the rebound, they connected while they were filming, they broke up b/c he probably couldn't handle all the attention he got from being with her, plus she was still nursing wounds from the knife in her back. But the bottom line is they are very much friends and even after they broke up they continue to hang out. So much for the "act". You people love to bash Jen b/c you're so livid that angelina is known as the homewrecking slut and in your delusion you feel the need to defend your idol! p.s. yeah ok, brad spiked Jen into the limelight just like he's done to angie. Please. Both Jen and Angie were well known well before bad actor Pitt came along.

5:54PM 11/08/07 janiston

I agree. No one really cared too much abt her until she got with Brad, then she was all over magazines covers & tabloids. It got worst when when he left her for Angelina. Anyway, i still think Vince is a talented actor. He definitely funny, and he can pretty much carry movies on his own.

5:47PM 11/08/07 carol

Jen made him more famous just like Brad made her more famous... Of course, Jen's fans will probably state otherwise.

2:25PM 11/08/07 factis

when Jen gets married you will see she hasn't slept around at all, it was acting, while she was waiting

2:24PM 11/08/07 cutey

HE NEVER BROUGHT UP JEN! The tabloids asked him and he made ambiguous comments as usual. The fact is she was getting over her divorce and everyone wanted to know if he and Jen were an item. At first they denied it, but then they must have decided to act for the tabloids, since it would get them off her back and help promote the movie. Vince Produced TBU so he agreed. Anything she does that people see is intentional. There are a whole team of people who do that all day.

1:52PM 11/08/07 letitbe

I don't think he is bashing her. I think they are still friends. Lanie i agree w/ u on you're comment . Brenda is an idiot!

1:29PM 11/08/07 lanie

brenda you are an idiot! why is she an hoe? what has she ever done that makes her the ho

1:25PM 11/08/07 Brenda

Jen is a hoe and he was always acting

0:57PM 11/08/07 Karen

Jennifer did make him famous, not just with the tabloids. My personal opinion is that he used her. I saw your interview with him at the LA premier of Fred Claus. Why would you even bring up JA then and bash her now. Not nice.

0:46PM 11/08/07 that's it

That is the most ambiguous comment and the tabloids are stretching it everywhere. They were never a real couple. It was all for the media. They are pals who put on a show while they made a movie.
