8 Milestones in the Evolution of Vince Vaughn

In The Dilemma , Vince Vaughn plays a man who witnesses his best friend’s wife cheating with another man. Ron Howard’s latest film is a departure of sorts for Vaughn compared to other films if only because the overall tone cannot be described as a “laugh riot.” Still, how did Vaughn become one of the most bankable comedy stars in Hollywood after beginning his career in drama? You can always trace a direct line through a handful of important roles to illustrate what led to an actor’s current success, and with Vaughn, that line was definitely on a downward slant until Todd Phillips came along and cast him in Old School . Let’s look at eight performances — including one of his earliest — that trace the evolution of one Vincent Anthony Vaughn.

Mannie Fresh Seasoning Mystikal LP With New Orleans Flavor

Ex-Cash Money producer tells MTV News the NOLA natives ‘want to bring it back to where it started from.’ By Jayson Rodriguez Mystikal and Mannie Fresh Photo: MTV News When Mystikal began working on his comeback album last year, the New Orleans rapper recruited his fellow hometown lyricist Lil Wayne. Along the way, the former No Limit star also joined forces with Cash Money expatriate Mannie Fresh. And according to Fresh, he’s hoping to inject some Bayou flavor into Mystikal’s project. “We finishing up his album and the thing of it is, I just want it to be a traditional New Orleans album,” the producer told MTV News. “I just want to reach back and get New Orleans artists, the way we used to put it down. There’s no disrespect to no other artist, but I don’t feel like we have to go outside the circle. We got so much talent in our city. I would like to get some of that Neville [family] stuff on there and [Trombone Shorty]. But that’s what it is. I want to bring it back to where it started from.” The project currently has no release date or major-label home, but fans should expect the collection to feature Mystikal’s dance-floor flare as well as a more reflective side as well. Last year at this time, the rapper was being released from prison after serving six years on a sexual battery and extortion charge. “Finally. Six years, that ain’t no walk in the park,” Mystikal told us a few months after his release. “I had a lot of time to do a lot of growing, reflecting and thinking and stuff like that.” Are you looking forward to new music from Mystikal? Tell us in the comments!

‘Dilemma’ Stars Vince Vaughn And Kevin James Share Some Man-Love

‘I could get hit by a car tomorrow and know Kevin James knows the love I have for him,’ Vaughn tells MTV News. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Vince Vaughn and Kevin James Photo: MTV News “The Dilemma” overflows with relationship drama: between Vince Vaughn’s fast-talking Ronny and his girlfriend, Beth; Kevin James’ kind-hearted Nick and his wife, Geneva; and Geneva and her extramarital boy toy, Zip. But perhaps the most tension-filled relationship is the one between Ronny and Nick. Best buds since their days at Ball State, the two are in business together, attempting to construct an electrical car engine that captures the bone-shaking energy of old-school muscle cars. But as the title of the film suggests, an unwelcome intrusion in the form of Nick’s philandering wife enters the picture, causing some bromance-compromising secrecy between the friends. When it comes to their own working relationship, though, Vaughn and James insist on full honesty and the healthy expression of their affection for each other. “I’ve taken every opportunity to be direct and tell this guy I love him,” Vaughn laughed in an interview with MTV News. “I could get hit by a car tomorrow and know Kevin James knows the love I have for him.” James, however, worried that perhaps he hasn’t gone far enough, that perhaps a full-court, flowers-and-candy effusion of man-love is in order. “I don’t think I’ve expressed enough of my love for Vince Vaughn,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s being an honest thing or you let it leak in slowly — you don’t want to overdo it too much, because you don’t want to frighten the person you love so much.” What, may we ask, has given birth to such dude-on-dude worship? Both men seem cut from the same comedic cloth and found themselves working together to hit new jokes and routines that weren’t originally on the page. “Right away, we collaborated with the script,” Vaughn said. “Kevin is so funny. He’s such a good writer. Such good ideas that we were making each other laugh and having fun coming up with stuff. It always makes it easier.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Dilemma.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

You should never really judge a film by its trailer, if only because, like books and their covers, the trailer only tells the part of the story marketing wants you to know. So, let’s all give the new trailer for Josh Radnor’s well-received 2010 Sundance Audience Award winner a pass…because, hoo boy , is this one horrible.

REVIEW: Genre Confusion Makes For Hard-to-Watch Dilemma

The Dilemma , Ron Howard’s cheerless, would-be relationship farce, begins with two couples around a dinner table and ends with two men running into each other’s arms. Ronny (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Kevin James) are tight. Friends since college, they share their lives, they share a business — Nick designs car engines and Ronny sells them to Big Auto — and they’ve shared a woman at least once, just to keep things on the level. They share, in other words, the kind of bond that has transformed a certain kind of comedy into a homo-social love story, a soft-core sausage fest.

Queen Latifah to Kate Middleton: Find Peace!

It’s important to remember: Queen Latifah is not actually royalty. Still, this artist took it upon herself to give advice to Kate Middleton in a recent interview, telling Parade the princess-to-be must find a “sanctuary.” “Everybody in the world is going to be in your business,” Latifah said. “He happened to be born a prince; you happened to go to college and meet him. You’re two kids who fell in love. I just hope you have a happy life. And don’t take anything personally.” Latifah will host this week’s People’s Choice Awards and also co-stars with Vince Vaughn in The Dilemma . Where does she see herself in 10 years? “On cruise control, with a couple of kids under my belt,” she says, adding:
