Good cause I am sick of seeing them on LiveJournal.

What a terrible invasion of privacy...To have such am intimate and special moment in ones life be exposed and exploited in the name of "celebrity". News reports state thier gestures were "for all the world to see!" BS! They were on top of a F*CKing 20 story building on a PRIVATE BALCONY! In the words of my friend Vince, given recently to one NOSY radio talk show host who posed the question of a romantic relationship between the two, AND I QUOTE..."People need to be more concerned with themselves."

I agree w/ what Friend wrote, people do need to be more concerned w/ themselves. I have to admire Vince for being a good sport about the public's interest. What baffles me is that most celebrities have some kind of control over the kinds of questions they can be asked in interviews. Why hasn't he blocked interviewers from asking these questions? If not for his privacy, then for his sanity. Can you imagine having to answer the same embarassing question day after day...UGH!

Why hasn't he asked them to stop? You guys seem to know him better than I do-still a VV newbie

Friend, I agree with you. I think they should be left alone too. I mean, I know how I would feel if pics of me and someone else having a private intimate moment were being shown all over creation. But if you say anything, they scream freedom of the press. I think there needs to be a line at which they can't cross.

I agree too. Yes, I have looked at the pictures and yes, I feel a little ashamed of myself, but the truth is, I am looking because I like the idea of them together. I completely disagree that this was a publicity stunt and I think if I were Jen or Vince, I would be very upset with the hotel because likely someone from there called the media. As someone from Illinois and near chicago, I wish that the chicago media and people would adopt the Vegas idea of what happens in Chicago stays in Chicago. Instead, it seems like the local media is reacting to all of this rabid dogs.

"I think there needs to be a line at which they can't cross."

I think the old rule of 'No PDAs....I ain't gettin' none, I don't wanna see none!' would be a good ground rule for paparazzi

OK WHAT IS GOING ON HERE I HAVE NOT SEEN THESE PICTURES! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT AND IT IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING!!

I agree with whatever decision you make Christine but I also don't think posting those pictures is the end of the world. I'm sure Vince would agree there are more important things going on in the world at large. The fact is the pictures were taken and they are already on plenty of others sites besides yours.

privacy is important. i think jennifer aniston is awesome and what she went through this past year is sad and horrendous. please respect her happiness everyone, because we too would want to be treated the same way. there are more important issues to worry about, like donating to charities, helping the poor, respecting people and more. christine, i agree with alicia, there are other sites doing whatever, but i still think your site is awesome! if not for your site, i wouldn't have known about the vince vaughn comedy show.

Here is my take on this. I don't believe for one second that Vince is offended or upset by the pictures and neither is Jennifer. Isn't their movie coming out some time next year? I think they will take all the free publicity they can get.

Come on, Friend. You know as well as we do that any public denial of their relationship is all part of the game. I'm not doubting that their relationship is real, but all the hooplah surrounding it definitely isn't doing them any harm.

Sure, the photos are an absolute invasion of privacy, but how can they possibly be upset about them? Actors, musicians, models, celebrities are generally narcissistic animals. Why else would they desire to become famous? Where would they be without us caring about them? I'm sure that's what Vince and Jennifer want~for everyone to stop caring about them. Goodbye successful careers, hello Autograph Collectors Convention! Get real.

I don't think the real intention of anyone to be an actor or musician is to be famous. I think that people aspire to have these careers and all the fame and glamour are just part of the territory and they don't realize the impact of it all when it happens.

WHOA!

If they wanted privacy, they could have kissed inside. I think that Jen is trying to show the world that she is over Brad Pitt.

I mostly agree with Lee on this one. I just like my "celebrity fix" no matter who the razzi's are photographing. It does feel sort of weird seeing the pictures, but I'm loving every minute of it. It's great seeing Vince w/ a smile on his face. And I have to admit, if it were me and I happened to look down and saw Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston making out, I'd have to start taking pictures too. But I would not be the ONE stalking them trying to take their picture; only if the opportunity presented itself, I wouldn't refuse the chance to start snapping away. Christine I respect your decision on this and I am in no way offended.

That is kind of lame, how long are you going to use that line "I think Aniston wants to show the world she is over Brad?" - for another few weeks, months, maybe a year? Come on people, the seperation with Brad happened in January, it's been almost a year! He's moved on and said his thing and so has she, pretty much closed chapter. I really feel people are out of line thinking they "know" these celebrities from seeing a few pictures or reading perhaps one interview. She's a human being, ofcourse she'll end up dating again. And I'm sure that if she wanted to show the world 'how much she is over Brad', she would not have picked a private balcony on the top floor of a hotel to do so. Just because media claims celebrities, doesn't mean we as the public own their private lifes. And Christine, good call, those pictures will never be seen at my website either ;)

First of all, thanks to Jen for hooking up with Vince, this means alot more Vince photos, for all of us Vince fans! (He flies so under the media camera radar!) I know I am getting sick of the same photos from The Break Up!

Second, thanks to Jen for wearing the cool Wild West Comedy Tour tank top in US magazine, which prompted me to attend 2 shows and buy several tank tops!

Third, did anyone else think Vince was more interested in the Newspaper???

This is a good thing, we all love Vince (that is why we are on this site daily) and there will be alot more photos of him, that's the way it is these days with the media, get used to it!!!
If you want Privacy, don't be in the LimeLight!

By the way, I LOVE this site!

Add me to the list of folks who
a) aren't quite sure what's going on... the note does seem very upsetting but (some of us) don't know the details.
b) As always, we back and trust the judgement of Chrstine.

WOW! Talk about controversy!
Bottom line: the public's interest with celebrity's private lives has spiraled out of proportion. Otherwise the paparazzis would not get paid the outrageous amount of $ they get for the pics they take. The one lady that took the picture of Vince and Jen at the wrap party back in August made $40.000...out of one picture. But the market is generated by the demand.

On a different note, I just want Vincent to be happy, and have complete faith in his ability to choose a relationship that will enrich his life.

Good luck Vinnie.

i.d like knows the private life of vince because is another form to know his real person and not this public image

"People need to be concerned with themselves?" If we all took that advice, we'd stay at home and hang out with our families instead of taking ourselves and our $10 to the movie theater to see Vince's movies.

Compare and contrast: Brad & Angelina have presumably been at it like rabbits since early spring, but no one has captured a photo of them making out and fondling each other. Why? Because evidently, they are serious about their privacy and take that shit indoors. In this day and age of telephoto lenses and "freelancers" with cell phone cameras and whatnot, there is no privacy. Be that right or wrong, it's the way it is. And during a period when speculation about the true nature of your relationship is high, it seems like a good time to lay low (no pun intended, ha, ha). Not do the alfresco paw-fest.

Riiiight, so they should not be making out on a 20 floor high hotel behind a big plant on a private balcony - because good lord, surely people can see them there and they are asking for it... Well, if they can't be private THERE, then I guess they can't be private at all now can they. So listen to the "experts" Jennifer and Vince: stay inside, lock the door, close the blinds because people will snap photos and you should lay low OR just put up with it and smile and wave. Come on, have some insight. This is about whether you want to put up these specific paparazzi photos or not, and the webmaster here chose to take them down. And I believe that is wise, because this wasn't about paparazzi pictures in general, this was about a set of very private, intimate moments snapped at a very private, paid for location. And that is plain wrong. (Unless you're the type that doesn't mind people stalking you and taking photos of you making out with your partner.) Oh and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may "take that shit inside", they were on the cover posing like a freakin' family only weeks after the seperation, which was a lot more intimate than an innocent kiss on the top floor of a hotel 10 months after the seperation, if you ask me.

wow, who needs days of our lives...all this stuff is way more interesting to read.

lol, paparazzi stuff seems to be the ONE thing ppl cannot agree on

I didn't say they SHOULDN'T be doing anything, but if they do, they stand a pretty good chance of being seen and/or photographed. It doesn't mean I agree with what paparazzi do. Personally, I believe it's awful and I would hate to make my living by doing what they do. But that does not take away from the fact that it happens. And I think Jennifer and Vince know this.

As for Christine, who in their right mind would quibble with her right to post or remove whatever she pleases? It's her site. I spoke because I felt bad for her when she mentioned that Friend's comments were like a slap in the face. In a time when the line between fandom and stalking is becoming blurry (thanks to the aforementioned razzi), it's hard to know when and how to make that call. I have visited this site often, and I am always impressed by how professional and classy it is. Even those who post in the forums are funny and entertaining, none of the nastiness that goes on in the IMdb for instance.

And I think that playing with a small child on the beach is a completely different level of intimacy than making out with someone. The fact that those photos were taken in Africa (I believe) says it all. If you can't have privacy on a remote beach in Africa, what are the chances of getting it on a hotel balcony in downtown Chicago? Cameras are everywhere (operated by razzi AND ordinary folks), and no star is assured of privacy anymore, so why do anything to court the attention you say you don't want?

I've read all the comments, and I can honestly say I agree with a lot of the points that have been made on both sides of the issue here.

First the easy one - I TOTALLY agree with the statement that this is Christine's site, and she can post, not post, or take down, what she pleases. Let's face it - we're all here as often as we are because she has a VERY good sense of what should and should not be posted.

Now for the trickier issue. I think the reason I have a hard time saying either "They deserve the pictures being taken, they're celebs" or "They deserve their privacy and this was a massive invasion of privacy" is that in their careers up to this point, Jen and Vince have taken VERY different approaches to the way they've put their private lives out there. Vince is an actor whose profession happens to make him famous. He has not ever really persued the fame aspect of being a star. He's done press to promote the work he's done more so than to promote himself. The only woman that fans know for SURE he's dated is Joey Lauren Adams, and even at that, there are not that many pictures of the two of them together, comments about each other, etc. Other than a movie where they met, they did one thing working together while they were dating, and that video was more a favor to a friend then any sort of high profile promotion of themselves.

Jen on the other hand, I believe has done far more to promote HERSELF and not just her work. The pictures of her and Brad together during their relationship are pleanty - not just paparazzi pics snapped at their displeasure, but also red carpet pictures together, interviews done together, etc. He appeared on Friends, and a big deal was made of it. The two of them certainly used their relationship to promote themsleves and their careers. It's very hard to not recognize the hypocrisy in the celebrities who take actions like that voluntarily, saying "Come on in, admire my life! Support the work that i do, because my life is this good!" and then, when it gets to be too much they say "Oh, go away! Leave me alone! But still go see my movies!"

You can't always control the press asking you about your personal life. But you can control how you answer that. "I'm happy, and that's all I'm going to say" puts an end to it. "Oh Oprah, you can't believe everything you read!!!!" doesn't put an end to it.

So I can look at this from Vince's perspective and say it's unfair and an invasion of privacy. But I have a hard time saying the same for Jen. I think she is one of the many celebs who is guilty of creating a great deal of the firestorm herself, and the not liking the results once they got too big. She's going to have to do a lot, and keep a lot to herself, in order to get back the privacy she wants.

I agree with Anne. I would add that if you do things like air your dirty laundry to Vanity Fair, and pose in your knickers for the accompanying photos, it smacks of hypocrisy to complain about invasion of privacy later. When she revealed private details of her marriage and its dissolution in public, she not only invaded her own privacy, but Brad Pitt's also. For what purpose? The people who know and love her probably knew the ins and outs of her marriage; the rest of us simply don't need to know. The fact that Pitt has not discussed the specifics of their divorce probably means he didn't want them out there. But she didn't give him the choice apparently.

I agree with bits and pieces of these comments that I've read. I think there is a reason that BP won't disclose the reasons for the divorce and I think the number one reason is probably is that he might be responsible for it. I think the thing with AJ has gone on longer than we think it has. So therefore, he won't comment b/c he is ashamed.

And, whether or not Vince and Jen are in love, we don't know. I feel he has been caught up in the tabloid crossfire. If this relationship doesn't last, the tabs and the paps will still follow Jen and Vince will no long be prey for them.

Yeah, that's what I meant. He didn't want those details out there because they don't reflect well on him. But shame is an excellent reason to keep your mouth shut. I can't think of a reason for her revealing those details that reflects well on her. Revenge? Publicity? Sympathy?

Not to talk about people I don't know as though I did, but kudos to Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise for keeping a tight lid on the details of their divorce. More celebs ought to take that route because there's something a little distasteful about hashing out stuff like that in the media.

I think that having kids does a good job of silencing divorce talk in a celebrity couple. They realize that anything they say is not just heard by the public, but also by their children. And any divorcing parent who does not think that their child being able to grow up thinking BOTH parents are the greatest people in the world ... well they just suck too much for words.

HMMMMMM WOW, DO WE HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT THIS. SO HERE IS MINE.
AS FAR AS CHRISTINE, SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO POST OR NOT POST ANYTHING SHE WANTS (FRIEND'S COMMENT- I DIDNT SEE IT AND I DONT CARE) HER SITE SHE CAN DO AS SHE PLEASES. SHE HAS MOST CERTAINLY HAS THAT RIGHT. BUT I DONT FEEL THAT THE PICTURES ARE GOSSIP AT THIS POINT. IT IS A FACT AND I SEE NO HARM IN HAVNIG THEM IN THE PHOTO GALLERY IF SHE SEEE'S FIT.

Funny how Jennifer Aniston said she didn't like how her mother talking to a tabloid show many years ago about her success with the tv show FRIENDS and more? Why is it life imitates art, she is doing the same thing like her mother?

Privacy whatever, she loves fame and wants revenge.

Friend, is the Peninsula Hotel only 20 stories high? I passed by it while in town but didn't know that. What I do know is that the hotel and every other building in town is right next to another building, each with varying degrees of height. I stayed at the Four Seasons and from my room I had very clear views of another building's penthouse balcony as well as a couple other rooftops, not to mention other rooms as well. I could easily have spied on someone had I chose to, and vice versa. So the media's take on it as being a display for everybody to see has some validity to it *in their eyes*, because Ms. Aniston is followed and photographed constantly and she knows it. I'm not saying the paparazzi should be allowed to do what they do, but it isn't against the law, so it's not going to stop as long as they're making money off of it.

I think that Vince and Jen just want to have fun.They really like each other.Just wish them all happiness and turn the page. Let's be happy for them- they know what they are doing. Quit the snide remarks and just live in the moment like they are. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT LED TO THE DIVORCE-let it go. They are over and Jen and Vince are in the moment!

Damn It...I hate it when I miss the good stuff...now I feel lost!!

I also respect Christine's decision. Your site is great...keep up the good work!

Now - if I can just for a second mention something I noticed in those pictures that are indeed an invasion of Jen and Vince's privacy....did anyone else notice it looks as if Vince has taken up smoking again??? In the pic of him reading the paper on the balcony - in his right hand between his fingers I believe that is a cigarette...oh well. I was so proud of him for quitting. He must have picked it up again from hanging around Jen - I know she is a big smoker!

love Vince but feel sad for the Jen-Vince coupling. I feel Vince is being "used" by Jen conviently as a rebound partner and as a toy boy. But on the brighter side, let's hope Vince career sky rocket with more pr.

it's so obvious that Jen is trying to stir up attention and media coverage for her upcoming three movies. She was losing ground on media coverage and thus trying to shed her homely girl image by hooking up with "bad" boy VV She is just doing this to seek revenge from BP.

For those who comment that BP was responsible for the failure is incorrect. Their marriage has been problem for over 2 years now. Jen promised to start a family within 2 years of marriage, then she said after Friends,..then she lined up 7 movies projects after Friends season..She never wanted children and was simply seeking for the Oscar to add on her trophy collection. She had BP for 7 years and she did nothing. She is simply selfish and thinks only for herself in the relationship.

What annoys the hell out of me is her being a hypocrite...putting the blame all to BP when she already knew it wasnt his fault. She is a very calculative and controlling manipulative woman.

I am willing to put a bet that she will plan even have babies with VV to seek the ultimate revenge

ok ive been sitting back laughing at everyone analyzing their reltionship, as i have too, however i have to say somehting on that last comment. A good friend of mines family is very close with Bill and Jane Pitt, and trust me your couldnt be more off base about their divorce. His own parents acknowledge it has nothing to do wiht them having children. they said Brad had apparantly become very self centered and they loved Jen dearly..not to say they werent both at fault.But this is what i was told. Im not one to shout that from the rooftop, but i had to let you know that your wrong. As for Vince and Jen..i really dont care..i say do it to it!

Ivana sounds like you have all the answers. I think that you should be happy for Vince and Jen. Let them enjoy themselves.Don't you think that they've talked things out and know what they want. They are adults-maybe they are friends with benefits. Quit the hating and just be happy for them. I think they are cute. Don't bring your bitterness of Jen here.Vince picked her-she's got to be doing something right or else you're questioning Vince's judgment. I think he's pretty smart.Don't ruin their fun...

Okay. Pops has a point. The fact is we don't know Jen, Vince or Brad. We don't know the circumstances between Brad and Jen. Why they divorced or what. We only know what the press has reported.

I want to apologize to Brad, for saying what I said before.

obviously everyone is reading your site christine, including celebrities and for
anyone related to them. let's all face it
we are all curious about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, even celebrities are curious about other celebrities.

AHHHH!!!! Ya'all are great. The best part is that there is a little bit of truth in what everyone has said. My outlook on all this is that the big "celeb-stalking" game was created by all the secretiveness around them dating. Are they? Are they not? Had they just said "Yeah, we dig each other, so what" may be there would have been less of an hunting game to get to the bottom of it. I'm sure more than one person was on eggshells wanting to know, and I believe the publicity agents (let us not forget Vince recntly fired his own) may be masterminding some of this.

Anyway, the site is great and Christine is a very tasteful web-master. Friend has come down on her a little too hard. The lady got game!

By the way, Vince is smoking again and it is a bummer.

I say hurrah for Jen and Vince, they look cute, they are succesful at what they do, maybe its just a fling, maybe not - bu looks like they're enjoying eachothers company and at the end of the day, that's what matters. Like someone else said, Vince picked her, so let him.

It seems to me that nobody would be happy if she did or didn't put the pictures up. I think that she does a good job running this site and some of you guys are taking it for granted. She has been putting pictures of the two of them up since they started working on the break-up and nobody was bitching then. Christine I think that you had every right to put up what you did. You do a fantastic job keeping me informed and keep it up. Vince is happy now and so is Jen and they are VERY cute together. Jen has been through a lot and who better to start over with then Vince. He always seems like a great guy and for the people who did see those pictures, look at the smile on her face. I THINK its awesome!

Alicia

I just wanted to say I was interested in seeing the pictures at first b/c I was currious to see but I'm glad they were taken off the site but the whole world is going to see the pictures anyways again and again b/c they are going to be photographed everyday. If people are interested in seeing them they sould get a magazine. I'm happy for Vince & Jen b/c everyone deserves to find someone special even if your famous. I wish them the best of luck :)

Christine you do an EXCELLENT job running an EXCELLENT site. When you run a fansite you are just compelled to post and add anything pertaining to that celeb that you feel would be relevant to the site. That is all you did.

I've said it before, Vince and/or his people were obviously impressed with your site enough to have added it to the links section of the official WWPSP website.

And if anyone wants to get on Chrisitne's case and email her for posting those pictures, then, email all the tabs both print and TV and get on their case too, b/c they are one's intentionally exploiting the whole Vince and Jen thing.

Christine is just running a good site as a hobby.

this is obviously a set up . guess they will go to all extend to get the publicity they need. anyway the pictures also show the security guards keeping a watch .. so obviously they knew they were watch and wanted to be set up that way.

I don't fault Vince, he is a great guy. Jen is so "using" him for rebound and for her own selfish desire. Hope Vince doesn't come out the losing end. Why did you think Vince publicist fired him . He wanted to go with Jen on this entire PR set up game and of course Vince pr never wanted it set up in this manner . So manipulative this woman is. Hope everyone get to see the REAL her . She is never a goody girl .She just influenced Vince back to smoking. This woman is a lung dart and never caught without a smoke in her hand.

good luck to Vince.

Just stop with the bitching already. Sheesh, you don't know Jennifer Aniston personally, and that goes for Vince too. Please! Don't baby Vince the way you do by saying she is using him. She doesn't need Vince, she is famous enough without him, only thing she could use him for is a fun companion at this point. Vince is a grown man and some of you are acting like you're his mother, stop it. Trust his own abilities, he knows who he likes and what he wants from them better than you do and if it his choice to be with Jennifer for now, he should be allowed. Fact of the matter is that you don't know these people like they are your friends, so quit the nasty remarks already, get over yourselves.

It turns out that Vince wasn't even kissing Jen:

http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/vince-vaughn/index.php#more-scenes-from-the-worlds-most-private-balcony-131753

Whoops.

What do you mean it wasnt Vince kissing Jen?? Looks like Defamer's having a Joke to me....

Stop insinuating that Jennifer is just using Vince as a Rebound Guy....If she was going to take that Road and hook up with a Man in order to retailiate against Brad & Angelina's Public Relationship since April, She would have done it 6 Months ago and not waited until her Divorce was Final before going Public with another Guy....It seems they're 2 People who like each other and they're seeing where this is going to take them.....Leave them be to enjoy their Relationship.....

I'll put it simply: If they're together, as a couple, GREAT! I'm so happy for both of them. If they're friends - then that's great too.

They're people - just like all of us and we need to remember that.

Have a problem with their relationship? There isn't much you can do about it. We don't know them personally so who are we to judge about what they're doing?

That's my two cents.

what do you mean it wasn't jennifer . It sure is Jen and Vince kissing . Here are the pictures

and there are more here

http://justjared.blogspot.com/2005/10/jennifer-aniston-vince-vaughn-kissing.html

Personally I'm not interested in the Jen/Vince romance - it bores me. I've seen the pics and just thought "so what?" and I see no reason for Christine to have taken those pics off the site but that is entirely her choice. Whatever makes her fell comfortable.
On the subject of them being taken, I'm with those who say they know they're celebs and they know that if they're kissing on a balcony there's a chance that they'll get snapped. All calebs know that if they want true privacy then they need to stay indoors. Not saying that's right but that's the way it is.
Who honestly believes that Jennifer hasn't read celeb magazines in the past - when she was a young actress, when she was on Friends, when she was in the hairdressers last time? I'd be surprised if she hasn't. I'd be very surprised if she doesn't know all the latest gossip in Hollywood and I bet her and her friends discuss it. I'd also be surprised if her and Vince's peple hadn't been trawling the internet in the days after the photos were released in the hope that they got a good reaction. Cynical? Maybe. Right? I think so.

Hey supp? Vince i love you!

Hi im Mat!

Hey you guys...if you know and have read everything up on Vince Vaughn, you would know then that hooking up with his leading lady is par for him....he has had relationships with past actresses he made movies with that never make it to the 2 year mark...one he was even engaged to...it is only a matter of time that needy Jen will get him to the point that he is feeling smothered and then buh-bye to her...

ENGAGED??? Who was he engaged to? Now you got my attention. I had the "priviledge" of being in VV physical proximity for many years when he lived in L.A. and all I saw him with were "bitches", to be precise different "bitches" on a daily basis...they would not last more than one day, or night, so I wonder where the 2 years engangement thing fits in. Just being curious, for my own personal record-keeping. Cheerio!
