UPDATE: Vince Vaughn Signs With CAA
EXCLUSIVE: I’ve confirmed that Vince Vaughn has axed both his manager Eric Gold and his agency United Talent. Someone close to Vince just told me he did it by cell phone. He’s still with his attorney Debbie Klein. He’d been a UTA client since 1993 (three years before his breakout Swingers, which was partly filmed in the apartment of an agency assistant) and a Gold client since 2005′s Wedding Crashers. Vaughn’s last movie, Fred Claus did little business. A $20 million a pic star, he recently pacted for a two-year, first-look producing deal with Universal and his Wild West Picture Show Productions which is run by his sister.
UPDATE: Vaughn is telling people today that he made the moves because his manager and his agency “didn’t get along at all” and it was too much drama in his life. However, I’ve heard from a lot of moguls in Hollywood that Vaughn was quite adept at making his own off-camera drama on nearly every recent movie he did.

vince is a lunatic. his reputation as the most insane, difficult guy to work with in town, is well earned. uta started his career and made him a $20m star. he needs to look inside and get it together; he’s a mess, regardless of who represents him.
Wow did Vince end up signing with?????
Why isn’t this hack in rehab yet?
he’s a drunk, bitter, pathological, paranoid, republican
why does he get 20 mill?
he’s not funny, not attractive
Vince is lucky to have a career as anything other than a grip. He needs to get one. A grip, that is.
Gee, I wonder where he’ll end up…
Jeez, what a bunch of bitter gripes. The guy’s funny and fun to watch and has had a bunch of big grossing movies. What he may be like on the set (good, bad or indifferent) doesn’t matter.
What is with all of the hatred on all of these asinine entertainment blogs? You’re all losers! How pathetic that you feel the need to spew your sh*t on the internet.
Vince is rad. You people are morons…or are you just bitter UTA employees who will no longer get that sweet 10%?
Vince, were you forced to make ‘The Breakup’?
No!
Then why did you do it?
For the money?
I think it was supposed to be a comedy, but it sure didn’t come out that way.
And that thoroughly fake romance with Aniston, Puh-Leeze!
Just what is it with all these stupid actors that take it out on their agents & managers for the crappy choices they made both in choosing the movie & the wretched acting style in that movie?
I agree with Richard. Vince is fun to watch and has been in some great movies. Too much jealousy out there. My Momma always said, “If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut.” Vince, if you read this and need a new manager email me at phildaleduckie@aol.com. We would welcome you to our team.
Who cares!!! He isn’t the first actor to do this. I’m sure he’ll be fine and so will his ex-manager and ex-agent. Sometimes people need a sense of new and improved energy.
No, Vaughn is an example of the grotesquely inflated, unjustifiable salaries earned by actors that damage the industry at large. There’s nothing to show for it either except bad offensive movies.
Get over yourselves, Vaughn defenders on this site. Tell your buddy you posted a good word for him and be on your way.
Vince Vaughn may be ok as a character actor, but as a lead? Puh-leeze. Hope that romance with Aniston was fake – how could she touch him? Echh.
Yeah Phil, I’m sure Vince will get right on that. Especially since we all know how reputable management firms are that shill for new clients on the message boards of entertainment industry gossip sites. He’ll be calling you within the hour…
If, in fact, he is a Republican…then he definitely needs to be in rehab.
I know nothing about Vince Vaughn’s personal life, but I DO know he is one of MAYBE three actors (along with Jack Black, and there’s probably at least 1 more) who can make ANY piece of shit watchable just by being in it!
Look kids, I don’t know if Vince is a douche on set oroff, he may be, he may be a moron republican, then again I don’t know. What I do know is that you can’t believe everything you read in this town because almost everyone is a bs artist. What I do know about Vince is that he is a singular talent, his acting style is unique and entertaining. That’s something of value in a town where almost everyone is not. Does he make dumb choices for movies? Sure, but who doesn’t? “The Number 23″ anyone? What actors don’t make dumb choices? The biggest problem in this town when it comes to actors and their attitudes and movie choices is that they are surrounded by exploitative morons on all sides who know how to take advantage. It isn’t the actors faults that so much moronic crap comes out, it’s their moron advisors.
none of you guys have a clue how hollywood works do you?
as a director who has worked with him and having heard first hand his nasty, long-winded rants about every other working actor in the business this seems like typical behavior for a star gone out of control
fuck him, move on asshole.
there’s a lot of us out here that will work for half.
I didn’t see him out there with our fellow strikers.
wow. vince vaughn leaves uta after he makes a bomb. what a surprise. i have worked in this town for 20 years and if any of you could hear what uta agents and gold had to go thru to expain this guy’s behavior, you wouldn’t believe it possible. vince is a very bad boy and he knows it. yes, he is an original talent but life is way too short.
I’m sure there are plenty of agents foaming at the mouth to get him on the roster, so don’t shed any tears for him.
he is vin diesel in one minute
I will never understand why people keep hiring this asshole, and that he made it to the $20M level. He never makes it to the set on time, he never shuts the fuck up, doesn’t learn his lines (so he can improv his shtick) and sexually harrasses everyone (women AND men.)
He needs to go away for a while. Or longer.
