FROM US MAGAZINGE:

With Angelina Jolie on a PR blitz for her film The Good Shepherd (which included releasing a batch of family photos of her children with Brad Pitt), Jennifer Aniston is having to endure her ex’s public joy with his happy new family. And friends are worried.

When Aniston was still just dealing with the reality of her ex-husband’s new romance, long-time pal Kristin Hahn confided to Vanity Fair in September 2005, “My worst fear is that Jen will have to face them having a baby together, because that would be beyond beyond painful.”

And Aniston, who has said of kids, “Ideally, I’d like to have a couple,” broke down and looked “stabbed in the heart” talking to VF about a rumor of Jolie’s pregnancy.

Now it’s for real – and on the Internet, in print and on TV. “The Shiloh pictures kill Jen,” says one Aniston source of the pricey pictures, which also feature the couple’s son, Maddox, 5, and daughter Zahara, 23 months.

Adds a second Aniston source, who says that Aniston was warned that Pitt, 43, and Jolie, 31, would soon release this second round of family pictures: “She is so torn-up about the fact that Brad was able to move on and has a perfect family life with that witch.”

Jennifer Aniston has been snubbed in her bid to land a guest spot on her favorite TV drama 24. The star reportedly put her name forward for a part in the show but producers turned her down flat - because she’s “too recognizable.”

Executive producer Joel Surnow says, “You can’t put those people on (the show) because they’re too recognizable. They’ll take you (viewers) out of the reality.”

Aniston wasn’t the only big name to be turned down for a role in “24″ by producers - funnyman Ben Stiller was also deemed too famous for the show, according to TV Guide.

Just hours after Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston finally announced their break-up (Vince’s rep tells Us, “Vince and Jennifer are no longer dating. They remain close friends.”), celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted an item accusing Aniston and her rep Stephen Huvane of lying about the split for months (Huvane called reports of a break-up “rubbish,” while Aniston appeared on the cover of People magazine under the headline “Defending Their Love” and went on The Oprah Winfrey Show to insist she and Vaughn were still going strong).

Within hours, Huvane emailed Perez in response and asked for him to lighten up on Aniston, and even brought his other client Kirsten Dunst into the mix. He wrote:

Hey there. Just saw your item and wanted to correct you. I understand that being mean is your thing and honestly I am not trying to convince you to be any other way. If that’s what makes you happy then by all means go ahead and be mean. It’s just that if you are going to be mean then try being right. We never told People magazine that Jennifer and Vince were still together. Just do a little research and you will find that we told People.com that Jennifer was not engaged, had not been proposed to, and had no ring.

Star thinks so!  Here is what they are reporting.

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn had not split up before Thanksgiving. In fact, the former Friend tried to convince her on-again, off-again boyfriend to make the 12-hour flight from London (where he’s been filming the comedy Fred Claus) to L.A., to join Jen for the holiday. When he turned her down, she ended up alone joining best friend Courteney Cox-Arquette and hubby David Arquette.

As for Vince, he hopped a three-and-a-half-hour flight to Budapest. On Nov. 25, while dining in a local restaurant with two pals, Vince befriended three female students at a nearby table — including Laura Mallory Lane, 20, a junior at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, who was on holiday while studying abroad in Rome.

HOTEL-BOUND
The group proceeded to have a cocktail-fueled evening that ended with Vaughn and Lane (who goes by her middle name of Mallory) in bed together — all of it documented in an e-mail entitled, “I shacked with Vince Vaughn” that Lane sent to 22 of her Gamma sorority sisters two days later, says a source!

When the bars had closed at 2 a.m., Mallory wrote that the group ventured back to Vaughn’s hotel and Vaughn asked her to stay for another drink — which she did. “I did not feel pressured at all,” Mallory wrote.

“We talked some more (and yes, we talked about Jen), and one thing led to another and obviously we were messing around before too long. We didn’t have sex, but it was just as good :)…”

Going a little further…here is an email apparently sent by Laura to one of her friends…

After over a year together, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have decided to part ways. “After Jennifer’s trip to London several weeks ago, Jennifer and Vince mutually agreed to end their relationship, but continue to be good friends today,” reps Stephen Huvane and John Pisani tell PEOPLE exclusively.

The statement ends weeks of speculation that Aniston and Vaughn’s relationship has been cooling off. Vaughn has been filming Fred Claus in London since late September, while Aniston has been busy working in Los Angeles and New York.

Despite their distance, both had made efforts to ensure the relationship was still going strong. In October, Vaughn, 36, threatened to sue several tabloid newspapers that alleged he was seen kissing a mystery blonde and had ended his relationship with Aniston, 37. The actress also shot down rumors of a rift on Oct. 11 when she told Oprah Winfrey that the two were still together.

Aniston visited Vaughn in London in late October after spending nearly a month apart. The two took in the London sights and caught a matinee showing of the musical Wicked. The actress returned to L.A. a few days later.

FULL STORY AFTER THE JUMP!! (more…)

An amazing stir was caused over the summer when it was reported that then Jennifer Aniston beau Vince Vaughn had purchased a huge rock for the wedding ring finger of his All-American beauty. There were denials all around and Jennifer was never photographed with the ring. But a new report claims now that it is she that has made the purchase of two wedding bands and neither is for Vince. According to In Touch Weekly Jennifer has purchased two wedding bands - one for her and one for her bestest friend Courteney Cox. The report in the weekly entertainment magazine claims that while shopping at Barneys in Beverly Hills on November 11 Jen fell in love with a $9,000 Cathy Waterman diamond and platinum wedding band. The magazine says she grabbed one for her and one for Cox. According to the item, she got the idea from one of her other friends, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah did the same thing for her pal Gayle king and it is reported that Jen has followed suit. An insider tells the mag, “Oprah gave Gayle a similar ring and Jen loved the idea and wanted to do the same for Courteney.”
