New York ? Does Vinnifer have the same ring to it as Brangelina?

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn were photographed kissing, possibly confirming that their relationship has grown romantic. People magazine published the photos, taken last week in Chicago, in its Oct. 31 issue, on newsstands today.

Her divorce from Brad Pitt became final Oct. 2.

Vaughn co-starred earlier this year with Pitt and Angelina Jolie in “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.” It was then that reports of a romance between Pitt and Jolie began, which were later corroborated by photographs and public spottings.

In interviews, Aniston, 36, has denied a relationship with Vaughn, 35. In this month’s Elle, she said, “He’s delicious and funny … but I don’t want to be a rebound girl.”
