Vaughn Flies, Aniston Runs and Timberlake Can't Stop the Music

Just call it the Late, Late Show. I'm told at least three of last night's biggest stars at the People's Choice Awards came close to losing some—if not all—of their airtime because of, well, tardiness. 

Vince Vaughn made a last-minute James Bond-like entrance to the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. "He arrived via helicopter to the top of a downtown skyscraper," a source reports. "Then it was down an elevator into a waiting limo, and then rushed to the side door entrance and into his seat just minutes before his nomination and win for Favorite Leading Man." 

Vaughn's Break-Up ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, barely made it for the start of the show. "She was supposed to be seated for the top of the show because she was part of Queen Latifah's monologue, and the director wanted to get a shot of Jennifer on camera," a source says. "She was running late, so they had to rush her into the backstage lot of the Shrine and literally run her into her seat." 

Justin Timberlake, however, wasn't in a rush to get in his seat: He was in Anaheim, California, rehearsing for a concert. So, the People's Choice producers had arranged for a live satellite feed so JT could give his acceptance speech for favorite R&B song. Well, Timberlake's rehearsal went overtime, which meant the producers had to change the order of the awards (while the show was going on in real time) so Timberlake could finish what he was doing and still give his acceptance speech. Which they did. (Nice job, guys.)

I'll have plenty more awards show gossip for you in the coming weeks. The fun has just begun. First up, I hit the Critics Choice Awards on Friday and the Golden Globes on Monday. Want some Globe predictions from me and my fellow E! Online columnists? Take a gander at We Predict.
