Jennifer Aniston Slams Engagement Stories  8/17/06

Jennifer Aniston has lashed out at reports she is engaged to Vince Vaughn, labeling the stories "insane" and insisting "people are getting fed a lot of bull".

The former Friends star claims she was forced to speak out after legitimate news agencies began reporting the engagement as fact.

She tells American publication People, "I'm not engaged and I don't have a ring and I haven't been proposed to.

"Normally we don't even acknowledge these things because they're endless, at this point, the thing that got me was that I was getting phone calls from Greece!

"My Aunt Mary in Greece is getting accused of lying! I mean, they're getting angry. My dad calls and he says, 'Honey, it's on the CNN crawl,' and I'm going, 'Wait a second!'

"When it starts to travel over into the Today show and CNN and supposedly reliable and accurate news programs, then you just go, 'This is insane.

People are getting fed a lot of bull.'

"The American people need to believe (the news). Please. Get it together!"

As for the real status of her relationship with Vaughn, whom she met last year while filming The Break Up, she says, "We're just being. We're having a good time."
