Jennifer Aniston is reportedly hunting for a house in Chicago so she can be near new love Vince Vaughn.

Despite denying rumors they are romancing, the pair - who met on the set of new movie "The Break Up" - have been spotted kissing passionately on two occasions in recent weeks.

An onlooker who saw them smooching at a plush Chicago hotel, revealed: "They were all over each other like a rash. It was a hot snog and they looked like two young lovers making out."

"Jennifer looks like she's over Brad and wants the world to know."

Now the former "Friends" beauty is said to be consulting estate agents about buying an apartment near heartthrob Vaughn. The news is said to have angered her ex-husband, Brad Pitt.

A friend claimed to Britain's Closer magazine: "Brad is unhappy about it, believing Jen may recently have been playing the woman scorned role while she was secretly dating Vince."
