Co-stars in `The Break-Up' are fathers again
LOS ANGELES - Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn may have won this year's Teen Choice Award for best chemistry, but their co-stars in "The Break-Up" had intimate science projects of their own.
On Tuesday, actors John Michael Higgins and Jon Favreau joined their wives to welcome new children.
It was a boy for Higgins, perhaps best-known for his role in "Best in Show," and actress-wife Margaret Welsh. Walter Lloyd Higgins weighed 8 pounds, 2 ounces, Higgins' publicist Jeff Raymond said.
"Parents and baby are doing well," Raymond said. The couple, who live in Los Angeles, also have a 2-year-old daughter, Maisie.
Favreau and physician-wife Joya welcomed their third child, a 6-pound, 13-ounce girl named Brighton Rose Favreau, publicist Bebe Lerner said Thursday.
The couple has two other children - Max, 5, and Madeleine, 3.
Higgins, 43, appears in Christopher Guest's next film, "For Your Consideration," due for November release and he recently completed filming Universal's "Evan Almighty."

In the fall of 2005, contemporary American renegade Vince Vaughn channelled the spirit of legendary frontier showman Buffalo Bill's "Wild West" cowboy freak shows and mustered a crack team of comics for a thirtyday, thirty-gig stand-up tour he called "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show." The performers took to the roads in a couple of tour buses, jackknifing across the American landscape, from Los Angeles to Chicago and twenty-odd points in between. Featuring the man himself as emcee, comedians Bret Ernst, Ahmed Ahmed, Sebastian Maniscalco, John Caparulo and a host of special guests, the shows were a giddy cocktail of ribald standup, rowdy musical numbers and wicked self-parody in the form of sketches lancing Vaughn's most notorious film roles.
Cameras were rolling around the clock - too much so in the eyes of the protagonists, who are frequently wrenched from sleep into the waiting arms of their hangovers by the harsh light of the filmmaker's rig. This is, however, good news for Vaughn-ophiles, stand-up aficionados and anyone with an ounce of wiseass in their sense of humour. These guys don't just get a few laughs - they bring down house after historic house, ranting about everything from their love lives, to certain contemporary cultural idiocies, to apple martinis. Up-and-comer Ernst pops across the stage in his uniquely physical routines. Ahmed is an Egyptian-American who gets laughs by jerking on raw nerves connected to the terror-noid national landscape. Maniscalco is the group's pretty boy, but is terrified of going back to waiting tables. And Caparulo - "Cap" - is some kind of phenomenon, appearing nightly in jeans, a hat and oversized white t-shirt and cursing a bright blue streak in the wildest Midwest accent you've ever heard. What's up fuckers, indeed. And backstage is Vaughn's best friend, actor-producer-former child star Peter Billingsley. Can't place the name? Think Ralphie from A Christmas Story.
There is a wonderful charm and disarming sense of humour here, all somehow orchestrated by Vaughn's devious smile.

Comedy Superstars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston Shine in One of the Year's Most Hilarious Films, 'The Break-Up'

'One of the best American comedies in years.' - Pete Hammond, Maxim

SYNOPSIS
Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest 'why can't you do this one little thing for me?' argument, art dealer Brooke (Aniston) calls it quits with her boyfriend, Gary (Vaughn), who hosts bus tours of Chicago. What follows is a series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and underminings suggested by the former couple's friends, confidantes and the occasional total stranger. When neither ex is willing to move out of the condo they used to share, the only solution is to continue living as hostile roommates until somebody caves. But somewhere between protesting the pool table in the living room, the dirty clothes stacked in the kitchen cupboards and the sports played at sleep-killing volume in the middle of night, Brooke begins to realize that what she may be really fighting for isn't so much the place but the person.

Here's what they said about it...
1. OLD SCHOOL
Not since Bobby Knight crash-landed on college basketball has anything existed so deliciously for the purpose of being quoted. This wonderfully sophomoric farce about a group of lackadaisical, middle-aged men starting their own college fraternity has quickly become a younger generation's must-see movie while clearly bewildering the Ebert set ("This is not a funny movie," blah, blah, blah). And did we mention the quotes? They taste so good when they leave your lips -- again and again. "Boy-band ass." "Earmuffs." "You're my boy, Blue!" Does it get old? Yeah, just like sex and chocolate and Bobby Knight get old.
SIGNATURE SPORTS MOMENT: Beanie (Vince Vaughn) coolly puffs a cig while doing the iron cross.
THEY SAID IT: "You can sit down and watch it a million times and always
find something new to laugh about."
Also ranking #11 is Rudy, one of Vince's early films.

Originally posted Wednesday, May 31 on thejay.com
Vince Vaughn is arguably the most quotable actor in movie history (with Val Kilmer coming in a close second). In only ten years and fifteen movies (I discount his dramatic movies because, like Rocky 5, they were all a dream and never really happened; especially Domestic Disturbance), he has established himself as the go to star for kick-ass cultural-swinging dialogue. From “You’re so money” to “Earmuffs” to “Lock it up!”, his lines have changed the way we converse, the way we think and the way we speak. He has reached the point in his career where his every line of dialogue is a laugh waiting to happen. Vaughn has garnered such tremendous audience goodwill that as soon as he opens his mouth we are waiting to love what he has to say. No matter if he’s playing a scoundrel (which he was in Wedding Crashers) or a lovable loser (Dodgeball) or even an assassin (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), we cannot help but root for him. When Vince Vaughn speaks, we listen, and we love every word.
It’s almost as if he’s created a new language, one defined by witty quips and cutting rejoinders. Think about this for a second, if you had to create a new language, one that would be accepted across the globe and universally recognized, what would it be? It would be movie quotes. Everyone loves them, there isn’t a person alive that hasn’t adopted a movie line into their own speech (Mine is “You’re killing me Smalls”, and if you don’t know where that’s from than I suggest you press the little red “X” at the top of the window, because you don’t belong here.), and if everyone started talking in movie quotes, the world would be a funnier, more dramatic and more romantic place to live.
Like the English language deriving mostly from Latin, our new movie quote language has to start somewhere. If I were to choose, I would want our Latin to be Vince Vaughn. He’s the only actor alive whose quotes can be used for all spectrums of speech, and are widely recognized as some of the funniest, smartest and coolest in movie history. His quotes would and should be the basis for our new language. Let’s take a look at how we will develop our new movie quote language, Vince Vaughnese. (More in the extended entry.)
Most people think his quotes are primarily about scoring chicks, and that’s almost fair. After all, he is the man that brought us these gems:
Vince Vaughn On: Honesty (Swingers)
“There’s nothing wrong with letting the girls know that you’re money and that you want to party.”
Vince Vaughn On: Playing The Odds (Old School)
“Well why don’t you give me your number in case anything happens to my wife.”
Vince Vaughn On: Getting Lucky (Dodgeball)
VV: “There’s someone out there for everybody.”
Owen: “You think?”
VV: “Absolutely. In some cases, there’s two somebody’s for one person. I like to call that “the jackpot”.”
But look past his “Trent from Swingers” personality and you’ll see that the man is a treasure trove for lines about how the world could be made into a better place to live. Take for instance his stance on some of the major social and political problems plaguing the world today.
Vince Vaughn On: Gun Control (Swingers)
“People get carjacked.”
VV: “Who’s gonna carjack your *beep* K-Car? He’s right Sue you don’t need to carry a gat!”
Vince Vaughn On: Breaking Stereotypes (Wedding Crashers)
Owen Wilson: “Don’t waste your time on girls with hats. They tend to be very proper.”
VV: “Yeah? Well, the proper girl in the hat just *beep* the *beep* out of me.”
Vince Vaughn On: Exploration (Old School)
“Well, Columbus wasn’t looking for America, my man, but that turned out to be pretty okay for everyone.”
Vince Vaughn On: Spirituality (Wedding Crashers)
VV: “Do you know what that awareness is, Gloria?”
Gloria Cleary: “What?”
VV: “That we’re all one. That separateness is an illusion, and that I’m one with everyone - with the Prime Minister of England, and my cousin Harry, you and me, the fat kid from ‘What’s Happening,’ the Olsen twins, Natalie Portman, the guy who wrote ‘Catcher in the Rye,’ Nat King Cole, Carrot Top, Jay-Z, Weird Al Yankovic, Harry Potter, if he existed, the whore on the street corner, your mother. We’re all one.”
Vince Vaughn On: Acceptance (Be Cool)
“I’m just sayin’ if that’s what this is gonna be, it’s gonna be that.”
Truly, Vince Vaughn is a man who believes in a better world, and our new language should respect his beliefs.
And it’s not just social ills that his quotes can be rallied around. Raising children is an important part of life and Vince is no stranger to Fatherhood. He has spoken out on Family Values on multiple occasions, and those speeches have come to be some of the most influential words of wisdom that this world has ever seen.
Vince Vaughn On: Parenting (Swingers)
“Our baby’s all grown up.”
Vince Vaughn On: Marriage (Old School)
“Alright, let me be the first to say congratulations. You get one vagina for the rest of your life. Real smart, Frank. Way to work it through.”
Vince Vaughn On: Bad Language (Old School)
Luke Wilson: “I’ve had a hell of a day and even worse week. And all I want to do is get some *beep* sleep.”
VV: “Whoa. Whoa. Why the F-ing? Why in front of the kid? All ya gotta do is say “earmuffs” to him, and you can say anything, *beep* *beep* bitch.”
Vince Vaughn On: Family Life (Old School)
“I have a wife and kids. Do I seem like a happy guy to you, Frank?”
Vince Vaughn On: Having Your Mom’s Back (Anchorman)
Champ Kind: “I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again!”
VV: “Dorothy Mantooth is a saint! You understand me? Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!”
So we’ve seen that Vince Vaughnese covers Family Life, Socio-political issues and Chicks, but it goes even further still beyond those areas. After doing some research on the subject I have found that Vince’s words can extend to the field of sports:
Vince Vaughn On: Physical Skills (Wedding Crashers)
“You and I both know I’m a phenomenal dancer!”
Vince Vaughn On: Knowing Your Own Skills (Wedding Crashers)
“John, I was first team All-State. I can put the ball anywhere I want to. I’ll make it rain out here.”
Vince Vaughn On: Water Sports (Wedding Crashers)
“Why don’t you try getting jacked off under the table in front of the whole damn family and have some real problems, jackass. Hey, what were they like anyway? They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or comfort? What’d you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat? [makes sputtering motorboat noise] You motor boating son of a bitch! You old sailor you! Where is she? She still in the house?”
His words can extend to the field of Physical Development:
Vince Vaughn On: Death (Old School)
“Don’t beat yourself up over this, Mitch. It’s not your fault. Dammit, Blue was old. That’s what old people do. They die.”
Vince Vaughn On: Getting Older (Be Cool)
“Nice ass won’t get you through your whole life. Once you turn thirty you better have a personality.”
Vince Vaughn On: Body Art (Wedding Crashers)
“Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye.”
And the field of Business:
Vince Vaughn On: The Entertainment Industry (Swingers)
“Everybody steals from everybody, that’s Hollywood.”
Vince Vaughn On: Business Tactics (Old School)
“He’s playing hardball. And I got to admit. I’m impressed.”
Vince Vaughn On: Party Planning (Made)
“Here’s what I’m gonna ask of you… We’re going to be spending the night in New York, so it worked out well for all of us. I want you to take it back to the business class, I want you to round up a couple of honeys… At our hotel room we’re gonna have kind of a pool party. California gangster-style, you know what I mean? Kick ass pool party thing.”
But who are we kidding? The basis of any new language is not how we speak about the challenges we face in our daily lives, but in the way we communicate we each other. The way we talk to our friends; the way we treat other people. Even before the birth of Vince Vaughenese, the traditional English language was adopting his quotes to use as definitions for friendship and communication. You in fact may have used one or two in the past. These quotes were the main arbiter in the birth of Vince’s language, the catalyst for the need of a Vince-specific method of speaking, and most of all, why we think he’s so goddamn funny.
Vince Vaughn On: Helping Friends (Wedding Crashers)
“A friend in need is a pest.”
Vince Vaughn On: Being a Good Wingman (Swingers)
“Look at this, OK? I want you to remember this face. This is the guy behind the guy behind the guy.”
Vince Vaughn On: Giving A Friend Some Confidence (Swingers)
“I don’t want you to be the guy in the PG-13 movie everyone’s really hoping makes it happen. I want you to be like the guy in the rated R movie, you know, the guy you’re not sure whether or not you like yet. You’re not sure where he’s coming from. Okay? You’re a bad man. You’re a bad man, Mikey. You’re a bad man, bad man.”
Vince Vaughn On: Betrayal (Wedding Crashers)
“I hope you flip your bike over and knock your two front teeth out! You selfish son of a bitch! You leave me in the trenches taking grenades, John!”
All good languaticians (I just made that word up) know that the specialized words and phrases we make up with our friends are what constitute a real language. Being able to personalize speech and create unique ways of saying ordinary things is what makes a language popular. This is how Vince Vaughnese will truly reach widespread, global popularity. For instance, if you were proud of your friend and wanted to tell him in a cool way how you feel, you could say: “Good job man, way to go. You’re kicking ass.” but that would still be kind of lame. Let’s see that same phrase in Vince Vaughnese:
Vince Vaughn On: Compliments (Swingers)
“You’re so money and you don’t even know it!”
And if you were at a party and somebody asked what you did for a living, you could give some boring answer like “Hi, I’m The Jay, I’m a stock broker”. But c’mon, really, wouldn’t the conversation be so much more fun if you used a Vince Vaughnese-ism, instead?
Vince Vaughn On: Being Who You Are (Clay Pigeons)
“I’m Lester. Lester the uh, molester.”
Moving to the most important part of language, communicating with the opposite sex, we find that this is the area Vince Vaughnese-ism excels at the most. It’s fairly common knowledge that in the last decade Vince has redefined the dating scene and male/female relationships. From changing the time men take to call women (“Six days‿), to what men call women (“beautiful babies”) to even where men go to find women (“All right, all right I’ll ask her. Miss, miss! Do you know where the high school girls hang out around here?”), Vince’s relationship-based movie quotes have established a new set of rules, one’s that will make Vince Vaughnese the linguistic touchstone for which all twenty-something’s will go to pray. Let’s take a lesson from some more of Vince’s views on sex, dating and relationships.
Vince Vaughn On: The Secrets of Flirting (Swingers)
“All I do is stare at their mouths and wrinkle my nose, and I turn out to be a sweetheart.”
Vince Vaughn On: Respecting Women (Made)
“Here’s 50 bucks, take this in case I get drunk and call you a bitch later.”
Vince Vaughn On: Enjoying the Nightlife (Wedding Crashers)
“Go out there and get some strange ass!”
Vince Vaughn On: Getting Over A Breakup (Wedding Crashers)
“She hasn’t answered your calls, she didn’t respond to any of your letters, she didn’t respond to the candygram. God only knows what happened to the kitten you got for her. ‘Cause she didn’t keep it, and I know you’re not raising the goddamn thing. I think it’s very obvious at this juncture that she just flat out does not wanna see you anymore.”
Vince Vaughn On: Obsession (Wedding Crashers)
“I got a stage five. Virgin. Clinger.”
Vince Vaughn On: Dating (Wedding Crashers)
VV: “Janice, I apologize to you if I don’t seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don’t like the feeling. You’re sitting there, you’re wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I’m not really interested, should I play like I’m interested but I’m not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she’s not interested? So all of the sudden I’m getting, I’m starting to get interested… And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it’s awkward, it’s like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you’re trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don’t kiss them at all? It’s very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you’re just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called “just the tip”. Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you’re on my hair.”
So now you can see that the language of Vince Vaughnese successfully covers all aspects of life, and if used in conversation can make you smarter, wiser, funnier, more confident and just plain cooler. But let’s ask one final question to determine if Vince Vaughn is truly worthy of naming and conceiving a language around. Does it make you a better person? In English I could describe myself in a multitude of ways, all designed to make me feel better about who I am, and more attractive to other people. Can I do that in Vince Vaughnese? Let’s find out…
Vince Vaughn On: Goals (Dodgeball)
“I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don’t have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya… it feels phenomenal.”
Vince Vaughn On: Discipline (Wedding Crashers)
“Lock it up!”
Vince Vaughn On: Pessimism (Wedding Crashers)
“Please don’t take a turn to negative town.”
Vince Vaughn On: Labels (Wedding Crashers)
“I’m a cocksman!”
Vince Vaughn On: Standing Your Ground (Wedding Crashers)
Owen Wilson: “He lived with his mom till he was forty! She tried to poison his oatmeal!”
VV: “Erroneous! Erroneous! Erroneous on both accounts!”
Vince Vaughn On: Excuses (Wedding Crashers)
“Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion!”
I think we can put that question to rest. Truly, the language of Vince Vaughnese can do anything. It can help you find a boyfriend or girlfriend, it can help you raise a family, it can help you live your life smarter and come to accept the course of human events. It can get you laid. It’s the perfect language. In a world where movie quotes are the new social currency, Vince Vaughnese is the Benjamin, the high water mark, the only language you wanna speak. Besides, wouldn’t you rather sound like Vince Vaughn than just about anyone else?
It’s All Deadly!

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Elizabeth Banks has snagged a lead role opposite Vince Vaughn in "Joe Claus," a comedy from Warner Bros. Pictures.
"Claus," being directed by David Dobkin ("Wedding Crashers"), stars Vaughn as Santa's loser brother living in New York, who returns to the North Pole and almost ruins Christmas. Banks plays Vaughn's love interest, a hyper-organized member of Santa's Little Helpers. Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey and John Michael Higgins also are in the cast.
Banks, who will next be seen in Disney's sports drama "Invincible," which opens August 25, recently wrapped production on "Bill" opposite Aaron Eckhart and Jessica Alba. She and Rachel Weisz are in negotiations for "Definitely, Maybe," a romantic comedy from Working Title and Universal Pictures written and directed by Adam Brooks.
The actress is best known for her roles in "Seabiscuit" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

This is brilliant. Every time I watch it, it gets funnier and funnier. I had no idea this was made back in 1997. The guy who does Karl is dead-on.
Also worth mentioning is the hilarious trailer parody, Brokeback Swingers (actually there are two Brokeback/Swingers parodies that I know of, but the other one isn't as good).

Under the tutelage of Vince Vaughn, the kid from Ed has finally been Accepted.
In many ways, Justin Long owes his career to Vince Vaughn. Not only did the actor take Long under his wing while filming DODGEBALL, but he cast the 28-year-old in this summer's hit THE BREAK-UP,. Now that the Frat Pack pledge is front and center in ACCEPTED (out Aug. 18), who did he emulate? You guessed it. "I found myself channeling Vince," says Long of his motivation for Bartleby, a teen who creates a fake college when all the real ones reject him. "Vince is a natural leader, and I'm not." Perhaps, but Long's got a knack for playing the awkward goofball (see:GALAXY QUEST, NBC's ED), a talent he'll show off in Mike Judge's IDIOCRACY, out Sept. 1. Despite the budding film career, it's his role as a Mac on those ubiquitous Apple Computer ads that has earned the Connecticut native the most fame. "If ever I was getting any arrogance about being in movies," he laughs, "I've been swiftly brought down to reality. It may be karma for making fun of the Dell guy."—Adam B. Vary
The Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show documentary will be premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, September 7–16. Looking forward to seeing this when it's finally released on DVD.
And don't forget that the show will be appearing this Friday, August 11 in Las Vegas. This will be the last show of the year.

Barack Obama has it. Your cousin Ernie doesn't. Vince Vaughn has it. And maybe you wish you had it.
The "it" is charisma. Everyone has some. But if you don't naturally have buckets of it like Bill Clinton or Oprah Winfrey, can you develop more of what you have?
You betcha, says Howard Friedman, distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California at Riverside.
"Like any change in personality, charisma improvement takes time and practice," he said in an e-mail.
Charisma isn't just based on physical features either, he said, adding that it has to do with "emotional communication and emotional expressiveness."
Jane Alderman, the dean of Chicago casting directors and who recently portrayed Vaughn's mom in "The Break-Up," says the Chicago-area native's charisma has little to do with being tall. "Vince is a very strong, kind person who's hysterically funny," she said. "But he's probably one of the best listeners I know. He makes everybody feel good; he makes them feel included."
Social scientists like Friedman are able to measure charisma by analyzing non-verbal communication and watching how observers react to certain individuals.
