Born Laura Jean Reese Witherspoon , on Mar 22, 1976, in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Not conventionally hot (she's cute, but has a sometimes distractingly big noggin and a chin that can cut glass), Reese Witherspoon has so forceful (if hyper) a personality and charisma that it was inevitable, I suppose, that she would be elevated to Hollywood royalty the moment she had the starring role in a mainstream film — in her case, Legally Blonde, which impressed critics by showing that Reese not only could carry a film by herself, but could turn even a weightless, witless film like Legally Blonde into a hit, having evolved from being a blonde but more talented Jennifer Love Hewitt (Fear, Overnight Delivery, Cruel Intentions) to a blonde but more talented Julia Roberts.
Unfortunately for me, the Reese I like is the forgotten Reese: the crazy, quirky Reese of Freeway and Election who will likely never be seen again now that she has a kid. Until that kid comes of age, I fear, it’ll be nothing but romantic comedies and other family-friendly fare, no matter how badly those films do at the box office. Worse is that, if too many of her films fall flat, it’s quite possible she’ll disappear altogether rather than return to independent films, re-emerging only after her kid’s fully grown and she herself largely forgotten.
Also sprach Golem.

Avon calling
Thursday, January 27, 2011
Say what one will about Avon, a company arguably more famous in popular culture for its door-to-door sales strategy than for its actual products, but the last time Reese Witherspoon ramped up the cleavage and otherwise put aside the asexual mom persona she’s been in for lo these many years — as she recently did at the Avon “Believe” tour in Atlanta — was at another Avon event last October. Probably not very encouraging news for Jim Toth, Witherspoon’s current boyfriend, but it makes for a few pretty photos in the meantime.... Read more

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards: In case you had a life that evening
Monday, January 18, 2010
Some of us may be Ricky Gervais fans, some of us fans of this or that award nominee, but most of us who tuned in for the Golden Globes at all were probably just curious to see who showed up wearing what wardrobe-malfunction-prone dress. Here’s some of what you missed if you didn’t have the endurance to sit through the whole show.... Read more
