Vince Gerasole
cbs2chicago.com
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
There might be a good reason the instructor twisting every which way on the North Shore looks so familiar. Her son is one of Hollywood's hottest stars: Chicago's own Vince Vaughn.
The resemblance is obvious. But is Vince as flexible as his incredibly fit mother, Shea Vaugh?
"I haven't tested him lately, it's not one of those things we do," she said.
Vince helped to parody yoga classes in his recent film "Couple's Retreat," but his mother says in real life he's got an appreciation for the mind and body workout. She's said he's even attended her classes, and she's worked with him privately.
The north suburban resident calls her one-hour workout "SheaNetics," a combination of yoga, pilates, martial arts and dance. She says even people who need to build endurance and flexibility will find the workout inspiring.
"You go in and just do a little bit, you embrace what you can do and you are forgiving for what you find challenging, and each time that you do it, you just get better at it," Vaughn said.
Mama Vaughn speaks glowingly of her new daughter-in-law, Kyla. She says Vince and his bride organized the secret Lake Forest nuptials in January by themselves.
She offered some motherly advice about raising children, even when one of them is a movie star.
"You kind of learn after a while that you can only coach so much, and then after a while you have to let them do their own thing," she says.
Shea Vaughn is much smaller than her 6-foot, 5-inch-tall son. In very high heels, she stands about 5 feet, 6 inches.
In an interview after "Couple's Retreat," Vince Vaughn said he didn't approve of male yoga instructors, but he may have been just a little bit biased.
The guys at SPIKE.com put together a tribute to Vince Vaughn with a video montage of some of his funniest moments. "From his memorable scenes in “Swingers,” classy moments in “Wedding Crashers” and refined role in “Old School,” fans will enjoy the best highlights of the man who makes us laugh. Remember: “Cocktails first, questions later.”"
Thanks, SPIKE!

Vince Vaughn, let your pal John Favreau be the first one to welcome you to the "day shift."
Favreau, who has been married with children for a number of years, talked to PEOPLE about his friend and costar's recent engagement at the L.A. premiere of (fittingly) I Love You, Man, and what that means for Vaughn's lifestyle.
"Vince has been single for a number of years and we've been on different schedules," Favreau said. "He was sort of on the night shift; I was on the day shift, living on opposite ends of town."
And, he admits, as he settled down, "town" got smaller. "My trick really so far has been to work in town. I won't work on movies that as a director take me out of town. I like to be in California so I can be involved with my kids' school life, their personal life and be a dad and a husband," he said. "And that helps balance out the crazy hours and bigger than life career that I'm lucky to have."
As for his own history with Vaughn – the 38-year-old ladies' man who is finally settling down himself with Kyla Weber – the guy friends have come full circle, it seems. "It was nice to work with him on Couples Retreat, and that movie is about couples, and it was interesting to explore that with him after our first experience with Swingers. And that was about being single. So, I think as our lives change, the subject matter of our movies change too, reflecting our lives," Favreau said.
He added: "I wish Vince the best. He's always been a smart guy. He's always been decisive at everything he does in his life and his career. I'm always impressed with his choices and the way that he goes about things."
Go vote for Vince as "most eligible bachelor" on Parade.com's Pop Culture Survey.
Spike TVs first annual Guys Choice awards will air Wednesday, June 13th at 10PM.
Swingers was the first movie inducted into their Guys Choice Hall of Fame!
Congratulations, Jon and Vince! This award was well-deserved.
Good lord, people! The man wants to invest in some real estate. These headlines are getting to be pretty ridiculous. It's like the bloggers and "News" sources of the world are playing a game of telephone. Pretty soon, it will be, "Vince Vaughn starts own religion of binge drinking and debauchery, with immediate plans to take over Scientology."
Here's one of the many Vince sightings we read about, but this one was cute...er...funny? Sorry, Vince. Just keepin' it real. ;)
"Saw Vince Vaughn at last night's (5/6) 10:45pm showing of Spidey 3 at the Arclight, rocking jeans and a black t-shirt. Dude is tall as hell and sporting a truly prodigal beer gut, pretty much looking exactly like he did in Wedding Crashers. He was with two buddies of his who I didn't recognize. Vince and buddies laughed heartily at the scene where Kirsten Dunst sings in a jazz club, being that she sounds like a gremlin. Only slightly better than my only other celebrity sighting, which was Weird Al Yankovic walking out of a Borat screening."

1. "Old School"
(2003) Directed by Todd Phillips. Starring: Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Jeremy Piven
It's indeed "The Godfather" of modern college comedies - the more you watch it, the funnier it gets. Finish this sentence: "Remember that one scene in 'Old School'�" Yep, pretty much anything works in there.
Why we like it is summed up by the film's tagline, "All the fun of college, none of the education."
Top Quotes:
Frank: "We're going streaking!" and "Fill it up again! Fill it up again! Once it hits your lips, it's so good!"
Beanie: "Oh, yeah. Cheeeeese. ... Didn't we lock you in the dumpster one time?"
Dean Pritchard: "I got out."
2. "Swingers"
(1996) Directed by Doug Liman. Starring: Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn
Remember when you rocked out to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy all the time? Neither do we, but this buddy flick captures the 90s swing era (or rather, year) to a T. Along the way we're introduced to a group of guys just trying to make it in Hollywood, but they sound like a group of guys from Anywhere, USA. Money, baby!
Top Quotes:
Mike: "Haven't you seen 'Boyz N The Hood'? Now one of us is going to get shot."
Trent: "I wish they still had fights in this game so I could bitch-slap Wayne."
Trent: "There's nothing wrong with letting the girls know that you're money and that you want to party."
6. "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"
(2004) Directed by Adam McKay. Starring: Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Steve Carell
"Anchorman" finally delivered what we all wanted: a careful dissection of newsroom policies in the 70s. Oh wait, actually it delivered Will Ferrell channeling his Robert Goulet character and the directions to "Pleasure Town."
Top Quotes:
Ron Burgundy: "I don't know how to put this, but I'm kind of a big deal."
Ron Burgundy: "It's so damn hot ... milk was a bad choice."
I just want to say again how happy I am that Alberta's site is up and running. If you want to learn EVERYTHING about Vince and his career, go visit the best Vince Vaughn website ever: vvaughn.com. (For Italian fans, it's vincevaughn.it)
Thanks, Alberta. We love you. :D

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."

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

In Vince We Trust
"Thanks, EW, for giving Vince Vaughn the spotlight he deserves in your 2005 year-end issue. You say Vaughn has perfected "the charmingly coarse and always hilarious motormouth cutup" from 2003's Old School. Try again. The "Vince Vaughn" was, is, and always will be his character (Trent) from 1996's Swingers. You are so not money and you don't even know it."

We introduce a long-distance dedication, starring Owen Wilson and hear an preview of two songs from the upcoming Tenacious D movie starring Jack Black. There's lots of Frat Pack news, including Luke Wilson's weight gain and Jack Black attempting to revive Heat Vision and Jack, his failed TV pilot that costarred Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. One of our listeners has an idea for a "Frat Pack Sit Com" that is sure to raise eyebrows. "

Orlando? Viggo? The sexy search is on
At this very moment, several hard-working men and women in Manhattan are sweating over one of the nation's biggest questions:
Who's the sexiest man alive?
That's right — it's almost time for People magazine to declare which celebrity makes our toes tingle and our hearts engorge with lust. Rumor has it the decision is particularly tough this year: For one thing, Brad Pitt, Jude Law and Tom Cruise have been involved in some eyebrow-raising activities; for another, the mag has already crowned these men sex gods before. (Photo gallery: 20 years of sexiest men alive)
Before People makes a major mistake by selecting one of the Desperate Housewives guys or, God forbid, Rod Stewart as the sexiest fellow in the free world, I figured I should weigh in on the challenge.
Who deserves the title this year? I couldn't narrow my list to 10, so these go to 11:
11. Bill Murray. OK, so his hair isn't shiny, his arms aren't veiny and his face is riddled with creases and pockmarks. So what? I find nothing sexier about a man than his sense of humor, and few men have made me laugh harder than Murray. If Patrick Swayze can be named the sexiest man (1991 was his year), People shouldn't have a problem honoring a former cast member of Saturday Night Live.
10. Viggo Mortensen. Here's where the veiny arms come in. My fire for Mortensen only burned hotter after I watched him protect and frighten his family in A History of Violence. I have a feeling Oscar will ignore him, so I'd be thrilled if he were deemed the sexiest in all the land, if only to have something to display in his living room (and mine).
9. Josh Holloway. To me, Matthew Fox's Jack has always been the cute one on Lost; it's Holloway's Sawyer who's the sexy one. Holloway may not be a household name, but every wipe of his brow and Southern-tinged sentence he speaks oozes sex appeal. I'd take him over last year's honoree, Jude Law, any day.
8. Kanye West. His name is sexy, his rhymes are sexy — heck, even when he had his jaw wired shut I thought he was sexy. Contrary to what People seems to think, not all sexy men need to be movie stars — though it's only a matter of time before West conquers that arena, too.
7. Joaquin Phoenix. These days, a mysterious celebrity is about as easy to come across in Hollywood as a plastic-free physique. Even though I've been watching Phoenix since 1986's SpaceCamp (and drooling over him since 1995's To Die For), I still feel like I don't really know the guy. And that is extremely sexy.
6. Keanu Reeves. I can understand why People overlooked him before: For much of Reeves' career, he only appealed to the younger audiences that flocked to Bill & Ted, Point Break— released during Swayze's "sexiest" year, by the way — and Parenthood, which co-starred my No. 7 pick. But, like it or not, we're now in the dawning of a new age of Keanu, a time when he can play Diane Keaton's lover onscreen — and maybe even in real life.
5. Jamie Foxx. Even after Ray, I couldn't help but associate Jamie Foxx with "Ugly Wanda" from In Living Color. As soon as I saw the trailer for Jarhead, though, Wanda melted away and was replaced by a tough-looking, steel-hearted hero. In other words, he had me at "oorah."
4. Jake Gyllenhaal. I repeat: Have you seen that Jarhead trailer? I no longer feel guilty about jonesin' for Gyllenhaal, who now looks old enough to handle masses of salivating women. He may be only 24, but he's already a bona fide sex symbol onscreen.
3. Orlando Bloom. My mother still calls him "Legolas" — just as Elijah Wood is forever "Frodo" to her — but by next year I'm thinking she may begin using Bloom's real name. Elizabethtown may not have been his finest hour, but the actor is still mighty fine. The accent only sweetens the sex appeal.
2. Vince Vaughn. This year, Vince made me laugh out loud with Wedding Crashers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Thumbsucker. (I'll let Be Cool slide for now.) If tabloids are to be believed — and aren't they always? — he also helped lift Jennifer Aniston from her post-Pitt funk. Yet another reason to vote Vaughn: It would drive Owen Wilson up the wall.
1. Bono. He sings! He unites! He wears leather pants! In my mind, People's pick should be a no-brainer this year — and the fact the mag has never named a rock star the sexiest man alive makes it all the more reason why his time has come.
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until Nov. 16 find out, when the sexy man is revealed. With or without Bono, I'll be watching.

Thanks, Gillian for passing this along.
Our own "Just Brian" submitted a letter to InStyle after seeing the wonderful photo spread in the August issue and they printed it! Way to go, Brian!
And P.S. Brian...I know I owe you a couple of emails...I'm still here, but have been quite busy myself...MEETING VINCE!! Have a great time at the Wild West show tomorrow night in Birmingham. I sure hope you get to meet the big guy, too. xoxo
Don't forget to check out The-Frat-Pack.com's Podcast #31: Take Me Out To the Ball Game. "What could be more fun than Vince Vaughn singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at Wrigley Field? How about a casual ballpark interview with Vince, and news of the Wedding Crasheers DVD? We have all that and more."
I thought this was cute. I found it in Radar magazine.
But I bet this was written before they knew Wedding Crashers was going to be such a huge hit.
Trendsetter Kevin's "Frat Pack Podcast" has been getting some great publicity lately, including a mention in tomorrow's Washington Post.
Here's an excerpt:
"Corporate media moved quickly to stake out podcasting as an avenue for reaching new listeners. While early podcasters offered talk radio-style shows with quirky titles such as "The Frat Pack Tribute" and "The Rock and Roll Geek Show," big companies have elbowed in with condensed versions of popular broadcasts. Now, it's "Queer Eye Hip Tips" and "ABC News" that dominate as the most popular podcasts on iTunes, making the one-person, in-house shows harder to spot in a sea of media logos."
Congrats, Kevin, and keep up the great work!
From defamer.com:
Vince Vaughn Rides The Butterscotch Stallion
"Even with The Wedding Crashers opening tomorrow, Thursday has been somewhat lighter on Owen ���The Butterscotch Stallion��� Wilson news than the promotional orgy of yesterday���s wall-to-wall Stallion gangbang. Luckily, a reader with basic cable and the constitutional fortitude to withstand MTV���s TRL teeny-bopper onslaught is able to momentarily patch the gap in our coverage, recounting Crashers co-star Vince Vaughn���s (perhaps unwitting) nod to Wilson���s equestrian legacy:
"On TRL���s ���Wedding Crashers��� edition today: When Vince Vaughn was asked about being a wingman for Owen: ���Being a wingman for Owen is like being a jockey, you just have to hold on for the ride.���
"Vaughn���s public appreciation for his buddy���s prowess would be quite touching���if our brain hadn���t been rudely flooded by images of Vaughn wearing a helmet and jodhpurs, striking Wilson���s hindquarters with a riding crop as they 'near the homestretch.'"
I am starting to get weary of all of the Wedding Crashers contests, offers, etc. being peddled on the Internet. There are just too many to keep up with. But this one bugs me. I don't know if New Line Cinema is actually sponsoring this or have just agreed to be a partner, but this is lame. My advice to you about this type of offer? Don't do it. It's similar to the Free iPod scheme. Notice I didn't say "scam"--I realize people are actually receiving prizes, but it's not until after they've fulfilled one or more offers like signing up with Blockbuster or whatever. And then you have to recruit others to do the same. And then your email address is whored out to every list buyer in existence. Something smells like pyramid around here. But I can't believe they're using movie tickets as bait. Read the terms and conditions before you sign up for any of these offers.
This has been a public service announcement. :)
Scroll down to the 4th of July entry to read another note from an Officer who met Vince last year in Afghanistan.
Which also reminds me that I received an email from the guy in the Earmuffs picture. I hope he doesn't mind that I share this with you all. I won't divulge his email address or anything. We exchanged a couple of emails about the photo and he had this to say about Vince:
...It was super funny...Vince and I spoke to each other for about 2 hours and he was very polite and funny...I immediately began joking with him as well.I have lots of similar pictures of he and other people out there, but I ended up getting the pictures of myself with him because sometimes people say we look alike.
I spent time in Iraq, but that picture was taken in a country named Qatar. I was in the USAF. I spoke to him and asked for a picture because sometimes girls say I look like him. He said, "Don't sell yourself short...you are much better looking than I am." Of course he was going to be modest...so I said, "yeah...I tell them that they must mean a young Vince Vaughn." he did not laugh...but after a few we ended up kickin it and laughing and hanging out for the rest of the
evening...the next day we did pictures at my work center. He was there to promote Dodgeball even though it was free to us. Kinda like Bob Hope I guess.I stumbled on the picture because a friend sent me a link after recognizing it. It was funny when I asked him to take the picture like that...I did not explain that I was doing the ear muff thing and I am not sure he caught on right away...
Thanks, Josh for sharing that!
I receive many emails that are directed to Vince. I always write back saying that I have no way of contacting him and that they should to try writing to the fan mail address. However, this week I received this note and thought it was nice, so I emailed the writer to ask permission to post his letter on the website. Maybe Vince will see it, maybe not. But I thought it was an appropriate entry for this weekend, being the 4th and all. And it has been exactly one year since Vince visited our troops in the Middle East. So happy Independence Day! And thanks to all of our troops for doing the difficult job that they do.
And just in case you don't read the comments on this entry, the following was posted earlier tonight. Thanks for your note, Bill. :)
Vince,
I was the Operations Officer for the C-130s that transported you around Afghanistan. I remember you showing up, completely fatigued and still standing for about 4 hours to sign all of our autographs. You also made time to give each person extra attention. Thanks for the movie. That meant a lot to all that were there. You were a high point in a stressful place. I'll remember that the rest of my life. My wife loved the picture. Thank you.
Bill

I can't wait to see what they come up wth next. First the belt, and now this.
Here's the link to the ebay item.
And here's a mini Wedding Crashers football, too!
Someone stop me! This Wedding Crashers trailer-crashing thing is addictive! I used a photo of Moby, one of my very favorite musicians. And coincidentally, Moby is playing at The Taste of Chicago on the 4th of July. Perhaps Vince will be hanging out and there will be a crossing-of-paths between two of my favorite artists?
This is so funny. Vince showed up on MSN's IT List this week, but last night, Mariah Carey's name was under his photo. Here's a screenshot of the whole page..
via Defamer.com
By the way, you can vote for Vince by moving him up the list. Go do it, because I'm sure Vince would be so excited to know he's on this list. Um, right.
Even though Vince didn't make it to Entertainment Weekly's "The Must List - 122 People and Things We Love This Summer" issue, he and Owen had a small mention in "The best looks from this summer's films."
4. PREP SCHOOL Argyle sweaters and madras are so yesterday. But Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn actually manage to putt them off in Wedding Crashers. Bonus points for Rachel McAdams' white loose-knit sweater and Pucci-esque head scarf���breezy vacation wear at its best.
There's a really great interview with Owen Wilson in Playboy this month. Kevin, over at the-frat-pack.com, has scans of it.
Here's a little extended version of what Brad said about Vince when trying to avoid the Brangelina questions in interviews:
"Handsome, handsome fella," Pitt said. "Tender lover. Makes wonderful eggs Benedict in the morning. But I hate his morning breath. Toenails...wish he'd clip 'em."
This article about "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" talks about how the director, Ken Kwapis, got the four main actresses (Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Blake Lively) to bond and get into their characters.
The challenge, he said, was getting four young actresses who'd never met before to convincingly play lifelong friends.
And so, as a way of turning Blake, Amber, Alexis and America, respectively, into Bridget, Tibby, Lena and Carmen, Kwapis locked them in a room for an hour and a half.
"I told them that this was the last time they'd be alone together before the camera crew and the hair and makeup people came," he said.
He returned, 90 minutes later, and unlocked the door.
"But they chased me away," he said. "They just wanted to be together."
Once they'd broken the ice, Blake tells The Post, the girls were inseparable. "We ate together, we shopped, and we watched movies -- Harry Potter, 'The Stepford Wives' and 'Dodgeball.' We loved 'Dodgeball'!"
In fact, Kwapis says, the girls ad-libbed endlessly about the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn flick, and some of their jokes slipped into "Traveling Pants" ("Maybe someone can point out the references to me," he said, plaintively.)
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" opens tomorrow.
Found these on JoBlo.com. From their site:
"From what I can tell, WEDDING CRASHERS is gonna be the funniest film around this summer. I know a few people who've seen the flick and they've raved about it and I know New Line is riding high with the test results they've gotten back. Vince Vaughn is really coming into his own as a leading guy and paired with Owen Wilson their chemistry (after all they are part of that Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, et. al. clique) this thing looks hilarious. Today at JoBlo.com we've got an exclusive look at four new theatrical banners for the film, which hits theaters on July 15. The URL for the film's official site, which you see at the bottom of these banners, has been updated as well with a bunch of new features including a fun "Quail Shoot" game. Enjoy!"

I bought the Us Weekly today. At least they admitted that the "date" was just business. My thoughts on the whole thing are that the story gave Vince some bonus publicity which is never bad. But most likely, Vince could care less.
I know for a fact that since this story's break on Sunday, a hell of a lot more people know who he is now. Someone mentioned that there was a post on a Jennifer Aniston message board that said something like, "Oh no! Jen is dating that man from Dodgeball!" That man from Dodgeball?! Oh brother. But thousands of curious people found their way to this website every day this week, wondering about this Vince Vaughn guy. It's a fact that he's not as well-known as some actors--my mother doesn't even know who he is--but after this little bit of tabloid storytelling, he just got bumped up a notch on the famous scale. Of course, that's just my opinion.
On a side note, if Vince does keep getting more and more famous, I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up with his success on this website. It's hard enough as it is. Believe it or not, I really do have a life outside of this little late-night hobby of mine. That's why I appreciate all of the input, news, photos, etc. that you fans forward to me. Thank you so much.
From the preceding MSN article:
"While the paper describes the buss as "a lingering kiss," you should keep in mind it also refers to Vaughn's "matinee-idol good looks," which, as much as we appreciate his comedy stylings and lanky-yet-puffy cuteness, seems a wee bit of a stretch, even on his best day."
I'm sorry, but if they can't see how gorgeous Mr. Vaughn is, they must be looking at the wrong guy. Hey, you vision-impaired entertainment writers at msn.com...just check out the gallery on this site, and get your eyes checked, for goodness sakes. :P
Carl Ferraro, whose nightspot graced Hollywood films, dead at 91
Associated Press
BURBANK, Calif. - Carl Ferraro, whose popular Dresden Restaurant provided a vintage backdrop for scores of Hollywood films, has died at age 91.
Ferraro died Jan. 20 of congestive heart failure at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, his son James said.
Ferraro bought the Dresden in 1954 and added its white Leatherette booths, Venetian chandeliers and wood-beam ceilings. The decor attracted movie location managers looking to give their films a classic Hollywood feel.
Among the pictures shot at the restaurant, located in the city's Los Feliz area, were Jack Nicholson's "The Two Jakes" and Mel Gibson's "What Women Want."
It was best known, however, as the watering hole for wannabe actors cruising Hollywood in 1996's "Swingers," starring Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn. Ferraro had a cameo role in the film, which featured the restaurant's name and a jazz duo who regularly play at its piano bar.
"Our name got out there, and the restaurant got so busy we had lines outside the door," James Ferraro told the Los Angeles Times. "People from Europe and Australia came in. They'd heard about us there."
Ferraro was born in Ashland, Wis., and in the late 1930s moved to Cleveland, where he opened his first tavern, the Heights. He and his wife moved to Los Angeles in 1951.
The restaurateur, often seen welcoming customers at the door in his tailored suit or red golf shirt and white jacket, retired two years ago.
He is survived by his wife, three sons, and one grandson.
Contributions in his name can be made to the Los Angeles organization Hope-Net, which supplies food, shelter and other assistance to the homeless.

Girls, girls, girls...now calm down. Have you considered that maybe their's is a business relationship? Or maybe they are just really good friends? But even if it is romance, let's be happy for the man! Chins up!
Super-sleuth voice-of-reason, Jean Louise, has pointed out that in these photos, it looks like the other man standing with them might be Scott Stuber. See this article for clarification. Perhaps they are looking at Jen to star in the upcoming ""The Break-Up"?"

Was this not lifted right from Swingers, or what?
Found this via the Dinner For Five Message Board.
Have you always wanted to have hair like Vince's in Starsky & Hutch? Oh wait! Maybe you girls would like your boyfriends and husbands to look like Vince. Yeah, that's it. Well, the fine folks over at International Wig have the answer. For just $45.00 $39.99 $35.99, you can buy your man a Vince Vaughn (as sexy Reese Feldman) Wig! Way cool.
Thanks, Jean, for this fantastic link! ;)
Remember the intro to last year's MTV Movie Awards where Vince and Ben Stiller were trying to pitch a Rings trilogy sequel to Peter Jackson? Well, the clip is being included as an Easter Egg on The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Platinum Series Special Extended Edition DVD which comes out next week! Fun, fun, fun! And remember, the trilogy was just a setup for the quadruplogy.
* Thanks, Alberta, for sharing the clip.
Happy Birthday to fellow fratpacker, Owen Wilson.

TRENT
"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."
Thanks to Robyn on the VV Network Board for pointing this out! ;)

If you haven't yet been over to The Frat Pack Tribute Site, go check it out now! Kevin has put together an info-packed website devoted to our favorite gaggle of guys: Vince, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller and Owen and Luke Wilson.
In tomorrow's Washington Post, columnist Tony Kornheiser pokes a little fun at the Olympics. This had me cracking up...
"After listening to Paul Hamm interviewed on TV a few times, I'm sure glad helium isn't on the banned substance list. Man, that kid sounds like he takes a big hit every time he speaks. I don't think Hamm should give back his gold medal. But I do think Gary Hall Jr. should give back that ridiculous robe. And you'll forgive me, but after watching "Old School," I can't look at rhythmic gymnastics or the rings without picturing Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn."
Neither can we, Tony. Neither can we.

HERE is the actual script of the scene from Entourage that I mentioned in the previous entry. Thank you, very kind person on the HBO Boards!
Tonight I was watching the new HBO series, "Entourage" and wondering who this show might have been modeled after. Probably no one in particular*, but of course I'm thinking Vince. Always Vince on the brain. And then about 20 minutes into the show, I almost fell off the sofa when there was an actual Vince Vaughn reference, and a very funny one, I must say. I don't want to spoil it for anyone because I'm sure the ep will be re-airing this week. But I recommend watching it. You will especially appreciate the VV reference if you have been following the "this is rather shallow, but" thread on the IMDb Vince board!
Here are a couple of articles I found about "Entourage" that mention the Vince reference and also a comparison to Swingers.
USA Today
New York Times
Cleveland Free Times
*addendum-supposedly it is loosly based on Mark Wahlberg, who is the Executive Producer of the show.
Nope, he's not married. (This special post created just for the hopeful, young women who search this site for the words, "married," wife," and "spouse" And believe me, there are quite a few of you!)
Now for the ones who search for "girlfriend" or "girlfriends"...I'm not aware of any steady gal pal. As far as I know, he's single. Good luck to you all! ;D
And sorry, I don't know where he lives, either.
