Universal Pictures has picked up "Counter Clockwise," a dramedy written by Paul Bernbaum for Jennifer Aniston to produce. Grant Scharbo and Gina Matthews of Roundtable Entertainment also are producing, along with Aniston's partner, Kristin Hahn.

The story centers on noted Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer, who is known for her work in the illusion of control, decision-making and aging theories.

In other news, Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are still a couple despite tabloid press reports to the contrary and recent photographs showing the comic actor kissing a mystery blonde, a London lawyer said on Tuesday.

The lawyer, Simon Smith, said he had been instructed by Vaughn to sue Britain's Sun and Mirror newspapers and the New York Post for publishing a photo of the actor "kissing a mystery blonde whilst attending a charity event ... at London's Old Vic theater."

Pagesix has since issued an apology to the couple.
