How the hell did Vince Vaughn manage to claw his way onto the A-list?

He was money.

what was the deal with Aniston?

He was actually better when he was in smaller movies. [italic]Clay Pigeons[/italic], anyone?

"Remember when there used to be real stars?"%0D %0D %0D %0D You mean like Jerry Lewis?

Jerry Lewis had talent.

I don't think I would call Vince Vaughn A-list.

R5 is French.%0D %0D %0D %0D Jerry Lewis is a joke (and a homophobe, too)

I just saw the commercial for "The Dilemma". THe truly scary thing was, I couldn't tell the difference between Vince Vaughn and Kevin James. Two bloated, sweaty bald guys.

Well, we know one thing. He certainly couldn't have gotten there via the casting couch.

OP, define A-list.

His movies have made money for the studios. Bottom line.

I think straight guys like him or something.

I don't know r9. Jon Favreau may have once been with the beautiful Famke Jansen, but I'm guessing Vaugh has swallowed a lot of Favreau loads in his time.

Nearly nine inches of wrist-thick cock,

If you want a good laugh (or shock), go back and watch SWINGERS. Vaughn was lean, tall, very handsome (in an idiosyncratic way). His character radiates sex. Compare and contrast with the hideous, bloated, bald, beery mess you see now. Hard to believe it's the same dude. Exhibit A in From Hotness to Notness.

I'm always distracted by his nose. He had rhinoplasty and his nose is too small for his face.

He was so hot just 10 years ago. If he was a female he'd have to hide in shame at how far he let his looks fade.

He used to be good looking.

Now just a blob.

They put Kevin James in the picture to make me look SKINNY!

The boyfriend and I had dinner tonight at the Peninsula Hotel here in Chicago and my boyfriend says to me, "Is that Vince Vaughn?". I turn around and there he is, his hair unkempt, unshaven, in some plaid coat, jeans, and sneakers with orange laces. On Christmas Eve. At a 4-star restaurant. Not just a blob, but a slob.

He perved up on a friend of mine who is a strapping, gorgeous black guy. My friend was concerned when Vaughn lifted his shirt and kissed his stomach. Hmmm...

exactly, r15, and the fatter and balder he gets, the smaller the nose looks.

His big cock has gotten him a long way in H'wood.

Yeah?!?!

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Vince was sex on a stick. Here he is in an awful movie he made with Mrs. Spielberg, being forced to strip.

Exhibit #760 in how men "age better than women".

Btw, I saw part of one of his shit movies on cable about some couples on some vacation -- the men were all bloated ugly messes with hot wives. What gives? I'd get that men would be willing to buy into that fantasy, but women?

You're still hung up on that, R25?

Yes, he used to be hotter and more fit than he is now, but I still think he's adorable. I also think he's funny as hell. And regarding his physical fitness there's nothing wrong with him that 60 days of dieting and working out wouldn't take care of.

He'll still have the alcohol bloat though, r27.

I don't think that men age better - there just seem to be different "rules" for men.

Not necessarily R28. And you don't know one thing about the man's personal habits so don't "ass u me" that his current physical condition is the result of over imbibing. It makes you look stupid.

I saw him this past summer at the Wynn casino in Las Vegas. He was gorgeous, very doable. Maybe he has his ups and downs, look wise?

r30- You seem to take this personally- do you purport to know him well?

What r25 said.

"perved up?' what are you a self-loathing homophobe?

He's a Mussy Magnet. I win!

"You're still hung up on that, [R25]?" Not "hung up". Just fun pointing out the fucking obvious. Merry X-mas, douchio!

No R32, the only thing I purport to know is that this thread has a few nasty bitch queens on it who's life ambition is to hate as many people who're better off than they are as possible.

"who's life ambition"%0D %0D %0D Oh dear.

Oh give it a rest bitch at R38. You know damned well you type the words you use most often when you're typing fast, because the fingers go faster than the brain at times. So the word is "whose"! You happy now you dripping cunt.

"I turn around and there he is, his hair unkempt, unshaven, in some plaid coat, jeans, and sneakers with orange laces. On Christmas Eve. At a 4-star restaurant. Not just a blob, but a slob."%0D %0D In his defense, he probably hasn't had much sleep lately.

I don't know if he clawed so much as he stopped at the buffet and talked everyone's ear off.

r37/r39, darling, I was actually being kind. Your whole post is one big nightmare. "Who're"? Oh dear.

His wife was my mother's realtor. Mom said Mrs. Vaughn had the largest diamond engagement ring she'd ever seen ( and my mother trolls Tiffany and Cartier for entertainment ).

What did you mom say about the size of Vince's cock, because that's really all any of us care about.

I saw him in Swingers, Wedding Crashers, and Mr.& Mrs. Smith. He was good in all of them. I enjoyed him. Funny, too. That's about the extent of my Vince Vaughan experience, but I'd hardly consider him A-List. IMO, it requires more than "Box Office " $$$ to be A List. You don't put a Vince Vaughan in the same class as a Tom Hanks. You just don't.

Well check your dictionary R42 because the word "who're" is a perfectly legitimate word in the English language. And after you check it, you can wipe your nasty ass with it you little slack jawed sissy.

Vince Vaughan has some serious substance abuse issues and he's an alcoholic. Complete trainwreck.

I love Vince and forgive him for letting himself go between projects. It happens to all of us, Vince. I loved his cameo in SATC when he hooked up with Carrie and lied to her about Carrie Fisher's house. Carrie also got to have a hot scene with Matthew McConnaghy (sp?) during that California trip, when he was crouching on a coffee table in front of her.

He's a daddy.

I used to love him, then I found out he was a Republican.

I can't watch him anymore. Not just because he has let himself go and he's not that old, no excuses but booze and drugs but he used the same goddamn rapid fire delivery in every movie. Not funny.

He really does look like he could od at any time. He's part Lebanese right? He should be aging a lot better than he is. Only Lindsey lost her looks faster.

Saw him almost 10 years ago, at an Oscar party . Was so tall, and good looking . Now he's a fat, bloated , blob. When you're that tall, and you STILL get fat, you eat, and drink, a lot.

What [R13]. He's huge.

He also allegedly has mob connections.

He's disgusting.

Dodgeball was comedy genius. But I've never actually seen him 'act' in anything.

He's just so damn cute and at the same time oozes sex.

I don't think he is A-list though

I think he's hot and I can't for the life of me think why

Bad nose job.

He's more successful playing the slob blob than the handsome lead. Straight men relate to him better.

bad nose job not noticeable when he was 50lbs lighter

Vince, I'm in Chicago.

I suck and swallow. Text me!

When Kevin james is the more fuckable one in the movie, it's time to give it up Vince.

He was great in Clay Pigeons and Swingers and Old School. Then he decided to keep his Old School shtick and doesn't deviate from it anymore. He really does look like a good candidate for the Death Pool. Get help man.

FOUR CHRISTMASES is on cable right now. I loathe Reese W. and Vaughn equally and so have never seen this... til now.

I enjoyed the first hour of their families being awful to them, but then we're supposed to empathize with their characters.

Which is impossible, because they are Reese W. and Vince Vaughn.

Teaming with Peter Billingsly and Glenn "fucking" Beck!!!! for a reality show...WTF?

Fucking hell. Vaughn just left his handprints and footprints at Grauman's Chinese.

WTF? Do these people have no standards? Ah, I remember the old days when you had to be an A+ lister to get in there.

Last month Ethan Hawke was added.

This is crazy.

he was besties with brad pitt and is bffs with angie that carries a lot of wait

"that carries a lot of wait"

Oh, dear!!!!!

R67 you act like the Hollywood Walk Of Fame is a historic monument or shrine. It is a tacky tourist trap for the easily amused.

Obviously, he is horse hung.

[quote]Obviously, he is horse hung.

Not true. There's a reason he's called Vincel the Pencil.

R70 it's not the Hollywood Walk of Fame - it's the footprints and handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theater which at least used to be an enormous honor. Apparently no longer, if they let Vaughn in.

I'm a tall fat piece of shit who dumb people think is funny. Where's my movie?

I'm an alcoholic and I can do a mean spit take unless Favreau wants me to swallow. I've been out of work for years, help. Consider this my resume.

Am I Iron Man yet?

Vv loves coke, and booze but this is common among actors, celebrities, etc.
