Oh well - Jen and Vince Deny Latest Engagement Rumor
Jen and Vince Deny Latest Engagement Rumor

Looks like Oprah Winfrey can continue holding off on those $8 million wedding plans.
Despite making a joint appearance on Us Weekly's latest cover under the blaring headline, "Vince Proposes! Jen Says Yes!," Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn remain unengaged, according to the former Friends star's rep.
"It is not true--they are not engaged," Stephen Huvane told E! News on Wednesday.
As Us Weekly spins it, Aniston reportedly accepted a proposal from her Break-Up costar on June 27, as the couple returned (via private jet, natch) from a nine-day vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
A "friend" of the twosome tells Us Weekly that Vaughn intended to pop the question on the beach, but opted for the in-fight proposal at the last minute.
"He was going to propose on the beach during the trip, but he chickened out because he wasn’t sure if she would accept," said "friend" gabbed. "But he knew he was leaving town for awhile, so he just felt he had to ask her before they landed."
The same "friend" also floated the rumor that despite his manly image, Vaughn was nothing but a big ol' romantic at heart.
"Vince almost cries whenever he tells the story of the proposal," the "friend" tells the magazine.
Apparently, this "friend" fell out of the loop at some point.
Meanwhile, though Life & Style recently reported that Aniston comforted herself with an all-girls get-together on July 24 after breaking things off with Vaughn, the weekly mag was only too happy to take a jab at its rival on Wednesday.
"Back in June, Life & Style exclusively had all the details of the romantic proposal, the expensive ring and Jen's reaction!" read a post on the magazine's Website.
"So why is Us Weekly playing catch-up? Because back then, they erroneously reported that the couple wasn't engaged and now they have to admit that Life & Style was right along."
To break it down: Life & Style reports engagement, Us Weekly denies engagement, Life & Style reports breakup, Us Weekly counters with engagement report, Life & Style conveniently forgets prior breakup report, points finger at Us Weekly and says, "Nana nana boo-boo." Yes, our heads hurt too.
When it comes to their relationship, the couple have consistently played it coy in interviews. Aniston has called Vaughn "a really good, loyal friend," while he has described her as "really smart and funny and easy to be with."
Neither has gone so far as to give any hint of what the future may hold for them as a couple.
Aniston's divorce from Brad Pitt was finalized in October 2005. While her ex's post-split activities have been well chronicled, she has taken an undoubtedly less incendiary path.
Despite attempts to keep their relationship under the radar, Vaughn and Aniston have been the subject of rampant speculation since the appearance of the first photos of them looking cozy together.
Aniston has repeatedly denied rumors that Winfrey was planning to throw an $8 million wedding in the couple's honor.
"The rumors are so unbelievable," Aniston told Winfrey in April. "For us, I guess, at a certain point, you have no other choice but to think it's funny."
