Numerous A-list stars of the Roman aristocracy got together to make sure newly minted sweethearts Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn made note of the setting of the date for their Checkout Lane-iversary. The event, observed only in relationships between the higher echelons, marks the very special moment at the start of a young and fragile love when some lurking stranger captures surreptitious photographs of the couple engaged in an intimate display of affection, photos which are then published and displayed at the checkout lanes of supermarkets and department stores.
Several established couples chipped in on a card for the couple, who were photographed kissing on a balcony in mid-October. The card featured a dirty cartoon with a crude reference employing the phrase "clean-up in aisle 6." Among the comments, Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey advised "just keep denying everything," Tom Cruise quipped "lock it in, buddy, knock her up pronto" and Ashton Kutcher joshed Vaughn "rawk! Way to snag the older woman!" Aniston is in fact only a year older than Vaughn.
Suggestions that the candid photographs were staged and their release managed is typical of a cynical age which has forgotten the tender simplicity of young love. Aniston costars opposite rising Brit star Clive Owen in the Miramax film Derailed, opening November 11. (Miramax is a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company).
Aniston and Vaughn co-star in the romantic comedy The Break-Up, currently in post-production and expected out in February of 2006. Universal Pictures, a Universal Vivendi company.

All hail the return of Scrievner to our fair city-state! Most high, most mighty, and most puissant... (acknowledgements to Will Shakespeare). I trust the pox has lifted from your noble household and the wave of snot, like the storm surge of Katrina, Rita, Wilma (Xenia? Yo-yo-ma? Zerelda?), has at last receded.

Silly: First it's Xena, then it's Zelda!
Ooh, I cannot believe that I forgot about Yolanda.
Yolanda did occur to me after the fact, but I stick by Xenia and Zerelda--Isn't that a Monkee's song--no, that's Griselda--or is the band Yo La Tengo...I need a nap. Hate this time change!
