Reese: new look, new man, new vision

Reese Witherspoon Vogue November 2008:

“Cut to Paris—not just any Paris but the very center, the Place de la Concorde, where Reese Witherspoon is the American of note, or at least the best-dressed American in the vast statue- and fountain-filled square. It’s the day after Bastille Day, and the city is winding down from its national celebration under a blue summer sky. A small flock of tourists and the lunchtime rush of mopeds and miniature Mercedes-Benzes pass beneath the lingering lazy red, white, and blue flags. Now slowly zoom in on the Hôtel de Crillon’s Marie Antoinette suite—where the queen took piano lessons until she lost her head out in the square—ornamented with beautiful tapestries and Corinthian columns. Then pan left to take in the view: the Tuileries garden, the Eiffel Tower, and, beyond the River Seine, the Palais Bourbon—an iconic vista that Reese Witherspoon slips into perfectly, first in a Nina Ricci dress that seems designed for her because it was, and then in a bustier-based Alexander McQueen concoction that makes her look like a queen. Not a let-them-eat-cake kind of queen.”

On Jake:

They’ve cozied up in Morocco and watched fireworks in Paris: It’s good to be with Jake Gyllenhaal, says Reese Witherspoon to Vogue magazine as she posed for the cover of the latest issue.

Actress who played Ellie Woods in Legally Blond speaks of her new man:

He’s very supportive. Suffice it to say, I’m very happy in life, and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that’s all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way.”

On Vince:

While on the set of her upcoming comedy Four Christmases, Witherspoon couldn’t resist costar Vince Vaughn’s sense of humor.

Vince is the funniest person I’ve ever worked with in my entire life. There were days when we were shooting things, I would laugh so hard it would ruin the take, and I was afraid I was going to pee on myself, it was so funny.”

On Ryan:

Her divorce with Ryan Phillippe was finalized in June. Oscar winning actress says she related their divorce to the Four Christmases’ s story:

You don’t see the blended-family Christmas very much [in movies]. And it really is a complication in a lot of people’s lives now. I didn’t grow up like that. I mean, my parents are still married, and my grandparents stayed married, but it’s a situation my own children. Ava and Deacon will have to deal with.”
