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
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

John Travolta: “I gave Tom Hanks and Richard Gere a career”
John Travolta has an interview with Reuters in which he promotes Bolt, his new animated film in which he plays the lead dog. The film came in second at the box office this holiday, falling behind the Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon comedy Four Christmases. 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

'Four Christmases' Has a Happy Thanksgiving
The allegedly acrimonious duo of Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn knocked Twilight off the top of the box office this weekend.
Four Christmases? We Should Be So Lucky!
Are you struck by a sense of deja vu whenever the trailer for Four Christmases plays? And not just because Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are reprising their respective fast-talking funnyman and girl-next-door schticks.

Four Christmases Earns $31.7 Million at the Weekend Box Office
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
