Reese Witherspoon works out hard. We see pictures of her headed to the gym for spin class, pilates or just out jogging probably 4-5 times a week. And yet she still has a bit of a ponch which sucks because it’s basically saying that there is no hope for the rest of us

Oh well. I appreciate an honest Reese ponch. It makes me feel like my body is a little more normal.

Stacey: I appreciate Reese so much more now.  THANK YOU for giving the rest of us hope by showing us there is no hope.

You know.  I have always been ok on Reese Witherspoon.  I mean, aside from her style, which we always gush about.  I have never been big on her, the individual, because she doesn’t really give much away and is fairly closed off.

But after her acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards where she won some kind of Generation Award, I want to be this bitch’s best friend:

“I just want to say to all the girls out there… it’s also possible to make it in Hollywood without a reality show. When I came up in this business you made a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed. And, like if you took naked pictures of yourself on your cell phone you hide your face. [laughs]. It’s totally possible to be a good girl.”

Bazinga!  This is the kind of Reese I can get on board with…one that lets out her inner bitch.

Who do you think that was aimed at?  Paris?  Kim?  Vanessa?  Blake?  Whoever it was aimed at, it was catty in just the right way while also being totally right.  Reese is PROOF that you don’t need to be a giant skank wad to make it in the business and that REAL talent will get you somewhere.

PS.  Reese is apparently tight with Jennifer Garner.  So there is that little tid bit.

PPS. Apparently Reese is also tight with Chelsea Handler.  I know a lot of you aren’t fond of her but I LOVE her.  She is such a bitch.  And she seems like a ton of fun.  I want into that girl group.

Tanya: I would love to hang out with Reese & Jennifer Garner. I bet they’re a great mix of fun and cattiness.

I normally love Reese’s style but she totally looks like a call girl here.

I get that travelling around the world to pose for pictures and walk a million red carpets must loose it’s lustre pretty quickly. Here’s Reese Witherspoon doing a serious fake smile and Robert Pattinson, well he’s having a staring contest with an elephant. Some animals aren’t great to have staring contests with because the eye contact doesn’t really mean anything to them (like reptiles) whereas others will hold a gaze for quite awhile (cats). Anyone know what elephants are like?

Stacey: I like to have staring contests with my female dog, Anni.  But that is because she thinks she is the Alpha female in the house.  And when I win the staring contests it shows that I am the alpha, not her.  I know that sounds weird but it is true.  She adores my husband and I am constantly fighting with her for attention.  In fact, I sometimes think that she is plotting my death so that she can have him all to herself.  If I ever mysteriously go missing, you know who did it.

Reese Witherspoon was in Paris promoting Water for Elephants when an old lady grabbed her arm and proceeded to tell her how much she loves her. Ugh. I personally hate when old people do this to me (the arm grabbing, not the telling me I’m awesome. The latter pretty much never happens). Why do old people feel like holding onto you is an important part of conversing? Maybe they know that us young folk will not listen and will just walk away if we are able to.

It’s totally ageist, but old people grabbing me gives me the willies.

Stacey: Some people just have issues with personal boundaries.  I don’t appreciate being touch by people I don’t know.  But who would?  Tan, do you ever have people randomly touch your baby bump without asking?  I think that would bother me.

Tanya: Thankfully, I have not yet had anyone randomly come up and touch my belly though I do hear that is a common occurrence for many pregnant ladies. If someone did do that to my I think I might touch their belly and say “at least I’m growing a baby, what do you have going on in there?”.

Usually posing with Reese Witherspoon is a good way to make yourself look like a fat giant. We’ve established this several times. But today things are a little different. Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon posed together at the ACM Awards and Taylor makes Reese look like a pudgy midget. Reese has been working out hard core to be in top condition for her wedding so you know she’s probably carrying ~0.05% body fat which makes me wonder how skinny Taylor Swift really is?

Stacey: Tanya, I am going to have to ask that you not use the word “midget”…it freaks me out.

They both look kind of fake, though, don’t you think?

Tanya: I can’t make any promises about my use of the word “midget”.

Yes, they do both look pretty fake. I think it’s the teeth.

Because “facts” are something that we hold in low esteem around here I’d like to take a quote way out of context and share with you how I read into it.

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon have a movie coming out called Water for Elephants and this month they’re on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and give the mag an interview. Here’s what Pattinson says in the interview:

Rob, on working with Reese: “There’s something about her. She’s just this genuinely nice person. I don’t know if she puts an effort into creating a nice aura, but her mood dissipates over the whole set. It was a completely different environment from when she wasn’t there. All the kids and the animals were just drawn to her. It made it incredibly easy to do my part – all my reaction shots are just watching her work brilliantly. She’s really cool and she’s just…never, ever annoying. God, that’s the worst description, isn’t it?”

This is how I interpreted that:

“Most of the movies I’ve worked on the actors think they’re entitled superstars and it’s really annoying. It was nice to work with an actual superstar who shows a level of professionalism” which is summarized by saying “my Twilight costars are super annoying”.

Beautiful.

Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Jim Toth are engaged to be married.

Holiday engagements are special and all, but they’re also overdone. My apologies to anyone who got engaged over Christmas/New Years/ Valentine’s Day/ Easter/ Whatever but it almost seems like it’s piggybacking on another special day and creating your own. If my BF proposed to me on Valentine’s Day I’d throw my drink in his face and tell him to get some originality. OK, I totally wouldn’t. But I’m glad that he chose to propose at an unrelated time.

Actually, now that I think back I don’t really remember when he proposed. It was in August sometime, I think near the end of the month. Maybe that’s why you pick a holiday – so at least you remember what day it was.

Stacey: My hubby proposed at the end of August sometime…the 27th?  Or the 28th?  I can never remember….I am sure he will set me straight though.

Congrats to Reese.  Hopefully this hubby cheats on her less than the last one

I’ll concede that this isn’t the best picture of her, but Reese Witherspoon recently admitted in an interview that she thinks she looks bad in every photo.

Obviously she hasn’t read our blog because we have a special category called “Posing with Reese” where we have picture with Reese posing with other people. Reese Witherspoon is so petite and cute that she makes the people she poses with look like frumpy, fat giants. If you see Reese Witherspoon on the street don’t stop and ask if you can have a photo with her because you will look like crap and not want to show it off. Just get an autograph of something instead.

Stacey: As unhappy and not great Reese looks in this picture I still would not take a photo beside her because she would probably still look better than me.

Reese Witherspoon brought her kids along with her to receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Awww! I think it’s super cute and totally awesome that she’s involving her kids in this. I wonder if either of them will get into acting? Reese started acting at 14 and Ava is 11 so maybe she’ll follow in mom’s footsteps?

Reese Witherspoon, her son Deacon and her BF out in Hollywood today looking like they’re sponsored by the Gap.

Stacey: I hate matchy matchy.  They are really dorking it up.
