Why hasn’t Vince Vaughn promoted ‘Four Christmases’?
Reese Witherspoon hit the publicity trail hard for her comedy Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. She’s been doing the late night TV circuit and has granted plenty of interviews. While Reese’s perma-grin has been plastered all over magazines, Vaughn has done nary an interview. He also didn’t show up to the premiere of Four Christmases in LA. There was an interview with Vince in Esquire Magazine that came out earlier this month that kept mentioning how fat he was, but apart from that I coul

"Four Christmases" Takes Box Office - Nov. 28-30, 2008
“Four Christmases” was the big winner at the box office this weekend, with little “Bolt” coming in second and “Twilight” hanging in there at third. I took my 11-year-old daughter to see “Twilight” this weekend, and she loved it. “Australia” and “Milk” didn’t do as well as I thought they would, though. Here’s how it all shakes out from Box Office Mojo: Four Christmases, $31.06M Bolt, $26.58M Twilight, $26.34M Quantum of Sol

Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon Revel in “Four Christmases”
The vampires were only a hot item for about a week as Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon’s surprising hit comedy “Four Christmases” easily won the box office top spot with a take of $46.7 million in the 4-day holiday weekend run. If that estimated amount hold, it would make the comedy the third-best Thanksgiving weekend opener ever, after Toy Story 2 ($80M) and last year’s Enchanted ($49M). It’s also a best for Vaughn since ‘The Break-Up’, and it’s Witherspo

James Bond star Daniel Craig hopes that ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be a bigger box office hit than Aussie actress Nicole Kidman’s ‘Australia’. He appeared quite positive when asked whether his new flick would turn out to be better than Kidman’s ‘Australia’, “God yes. What kind of stupid question is that?” News.com.au quoted him as saying. But he also said that he just could not wait to see the movie, as he was a “big Baz Luhrmann fan”.

Did you see Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn? I did, and it was hilarious. I don’t laugh throughout the entire movie of pretty much anything, but when one funny scene was finished, another one began. You know how a lot of comedies have like one or two funny scenes? Not this one. A lot of folk also don’t think Reese and Vince are a believable couple - I could care less. If two people make me laugh, you could pair up Star Jones with Matt Damon. If it’s funny, I don&#

Travolta waxes poetic about all the great roles he’s turned down in his career, but he has no regrets because he realizes he had to step aside to let other actors shine. According to Travolta, he’s personally responsible for the careers of
