Vince Vaughn gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Acting legend Vince Vaughn, joined by his family and actor Mel Gibson, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Vince Vaughn is crashing the internet after a photo posted by The White House.
The "Wedding Crashers" alum, who played a Washington, D.C. divorce mediation attorney that crashed weddings to meet women opposite Owen Wilson in the 2005 film, is seemingly starring in a new role: visitor of President Donald Trump.
On Friday, the official White House Instagram account shared an apparent photo of Trump with the "Delivery Man" star at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The shot was a spoofy movie poster inspired by the 2005 cult favorite.
"White House Crashers," the poster read with "President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office" as the caption. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Vaughn for comment.
Vince Vaughn makes rare appearance with children at Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony
Vaughn and Trump have been pictured together previously. In 2020, a viral video showed Vaughn chatting with Trump at the national championship football game.
The video showed Vaughn sitting in box seats next to First Lady Melania Trump and the president. In the 31-second clip, Vaughn and the president spoke before shaking hands and then waving goodbye.
Both the Trumps and Vaughn smiled when the actor walked away. But later, he walked back the run-in during a 2020 profile in The Los Angeles Times.
"In my career I've met a lot of politicians who I've always been cordial to; I've met Nancy Pelosi and was cordial to her as well," Vaughn told the LA Times, adding that "it was the only time I've ever met him. We said hello. He was very personable. I didn't get into policies."
"I think people are more charged than ever about these things," Vaughn continued. "But I don't think most people take that stuff as seriously as the small percentage that's making noise about it."
He added: "I was raised with the idea that you could have different likes and beliefs, and you should respect and defend that in other people, not shout it down. The people you disagree with the most, you should stand up for their right to do that."

Landon Donovan, Christian Pulisic, and the drama over USMNT stars not playing
The faces of two different generations of the United States men's national soccer team are engaged in a bit of a drama. While commenting on Portugal's celebration in its win over Spain in the UEFA Nations League final for FOX Sports on Sunday, USMNT legend Landon Donovan took an implied dig at Christian Pulisic and other U.S. players for their decision to sit out the upcoming Concacaf Gold Cup. "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said as the broadcast showed Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates celebrating the triumph. "This is what it means. And if you don't want to take this as a professional soccer player, as someone who gets the opportunity to wear that jersey and take it seriously and responsibly, then don't come in. This is what it means. "[Ronaldo's] 40 years old. He's played a long ass season. He's tired. He's out there grinding. Hurt himself in the process, and I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off." Even though Donovan didn't name Pulisic or any other current USMNT player, Pulisic's father certainly viewed it as a slight. Mark Pulisic fired back at Donovan in an Instagram post on Monday, posting a screenshot of him asking ChatGPT why Donovan took a sabbatical in 2012-13. "Landon Donovan took his sabbatical because he was feeling both physically and mentally exhausted after years of intense competition and the pressure that comes with being a top athlete," ChatGPT replied to the elder Pulisic's question. "He'd been playing professionally from a young age and had participated in multiple World Cups, so he felt the need to step back and take some time for himself. This break allowed him to rest, travel, and ultimately return to the game with a refreshed mindset." While the younger Pulisic hasn't commented on Donovan's remarks, he seemed to co-sign his father's sentiments. He liked the post his father made on Monday, drawing more attention to the matter on social media. Pulisic, 26, had a career year for AC Milan in 2024-25, leading the club in goals (17) and points (27) across all competitions. He also played in 50 matches for his club team, logging a career-high 3,650 minutes this past season. USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie also came to the defense of Pulisic following Donovan's remarks. McKennie will also miss the Gold Cup, but he's playing for his club team, Juventus, in the Club World Cup. Other USMNT stars like Antonee Robinson (knee surgery) and Yunus Musah are also missing the Gold Cup. "Obviously, none of us take for granted playing for the national team. None of us want to lose games," McKennie told USA Today on Monday. "All of us want to compete. And for me, it's a little bit, I won't say sad, but as a former national team player, I think as a national team player pool – previous, present – I think it's more about trying to build or even say something like that to a person directly rather than putting it out there. "That's just my opinion because we've all been through those moments, even when comments about us losing the Nations League were made by many players from before, but they've had the same thing on a bigger stage with not qualifying for the World Cup." Donovan's comments were the latest made by a key member of a previous generation of USMNT soccer criticizing the younger stars who asked to be excluded from the roster due to rest. Former USMNT star Clint Dempsey said that while he's a fan of Pulisic and other players, he questioned their competitiveness following their decision to pull out of roster consideration for the Gold Cup earlier in June. "In terms of his situation, I can't say what it is, I don't know the ins and outs of it," Dempsey told the "Men in Blazers" podcast. "But in terms of my situation, when I played in Europe and came back, there were times where I was tired. I had to get a PRP injection in my adductor. I had to maybe rest for some of the friendly games so that I could be fit to play in the tournaments. "Whether it was Gold Cup, whether it was Copa [América], whether it was Confederations Cup, whether it was the World Cup. Like I wasn't gonna miss competitions. That's just the kind of guy that I always was. So for me, I don't understand it because that wasn't my mentality. I always wanted to play in those games." FOX Soccer analyst Alexi Lalas, a former USMNT defender and two-time World Cup veteran, also criticized Pulisic. "I don't understand how a player turns down the chance to represent his country when it needs him most, especially at such a crucial time," Lalas said on FOX Sports' "State of the Union" podcast. "This is a tough blow for Pulisic's image and for the team — when they need a positive presence, this summer should have been the perfect opportunity to build experience ahead of the World Cup."

US judge dismisses actor Baldoni's lawsuit against Lively, NYT
A US judge on Monday rejected a $400 million lawsuit that actor Justin Baldoni filed against former co-star Blake Lively and The New York Times after she accused him of sexual harassment and other misbehavior. Back in December the Times reported that Lively had filed a complaint against Baldoni and producer Jamey Heath for allegedly inappropriate behavior and comments during the shooting of the movie "It Ends with Us." The complaint said Baldoni -- who also directed the film -- had spoken inappropriately about his sex life and sought to alter the film to include sex scenes that were not in the script and had not been agreed to. It also said Heath had watched Lively while she was topless, despite having been asked to turn away. It further said Baldoni waged a PR campaign to wreck Lively's reputation. A lawyer for Wayfarer, the studio behind the film, said in a statement released to the New York Times at the time that neither the studio, its executives, nor its PR team did anything to retaliate against Lively. "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media," lawyer Bryan Freedman wrote in December. Baldoni filed suit in January against the actress, her husband Ryan Reynolds and the Times, arguing that an article the paper ran in December defamed him. On Monday, Judge Lewis Liman of the US District Court in Manhattan dismissed the lawsuit filed by Baldoni. The judge said the Times had simply reported on Lively's original legal filing alleging harassment on set and a retaliatory smear campaign, and that it had taken the trouble to seek a reaction from Baldoni to the actress's allegations. The judge also rejected allegations by Baldoni that Lively, whose Instagram account has more than 43 million followers, had tried to seize control of the film and its promotion. Baldoni accused her husband, Reynolds, of wrongly describing him as a sexual predator. In a statement carried by US media, Lively's lawyers celebrated what they called a "total victory" over Baldoni's "retaliatory lawsuit." Baldoni's lawyer did not immediately respond to an AFP request for comment. Based on a best-selling novel by the US writer Colleen Hoover, "It Ends with Us" is a romantic drama that made more than $350 million at the box office in 2024, making it one of the biggest hits of the year. gl/bdx/dw/sla
