Reese Witherspoon was “humiliated” by her divorce from Ryan Phillippe.
The ‘Walk The Line’ actress has admitted she reached the lowest point of her life when she split from the ‘Breach’ actor in 2006 after seven years of marriage.
She said: “It was very humiliating and very isolating. But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions.”
The 32-year-old star – who is currently dating 29-year-old actor Jake Gyllenhaal – still feels confused by the end of her marriage which was finalised in 2007.
She explained: “When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, ‘Are they crazy? ‘I’m never going to feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever going to make sense again.’ And I still have moments where I’m like, ‘Nothing’s ever going to make sense again.’ ”
Following the split, Reese – who has two children Ava, nine, and four-year-old Deacon with her ex-husband – did everything she could to stop the break-up turning nasty.
She told Elle magazine: “Blame, blame, blame. It’s a really easy thing to do, and I’m certainly guilty of it. You have to look at yourself and go, ‘What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility?’ And that’s the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it.”
But the experience hasn’t put Reese off love forever and since meeting her boyfriend Jake on the set of their 2007 movie ‘Rendition’ the blonde beauty admits she is really happy.
She said: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy.”

“I think the most important thing is to be a grownup,” she says, “and not let any kind of feelings affect how you deal with your children.” I like this Response by Reese a lot. Sounds obvious, but that is exactly what you have to do.

Reese Witherspoon officially divorced Ryan Phillipe in June.

Reese Witherspoon feared she would wet herself on set while working with Vince Vaughn.

Dismissing rumours there was friction between her and her comic co-star on new movie ‘Four Christmases’, the actress claims it was the most fun she’s ever had making a movie.
She said: “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.”

Reese – who has two children, nine-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – also revealed she is “very happy” with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Oscar-winning actress admits it is a great comfort to be in a relationship with such a loyal partner.

Reese is truly a role model for young girls.

The former astronaut, 78, is in talks for a proposed film about the battles he faced after his Apollo flight – and his subsequent love story, he told reporters Thursday at the New York premiere of the animated 3-D feature Fly Me to the Moon. Aldrin did voice work for the film.

As for casting the role of his wife of 20 years, Lois, Aldrin envisions Oscar-winner Witherspoon, 32.

“Lois likes Reese Witherspoon,” he says, “because she played a similar part in Walk the Line.”

In that 2005 film, Witherspoon played June Carter, wife of the erratic country legend Johnny Cash – and the woman who rescued him from the throes of substance abuse.

“My experiences post-flight were ones of not being very productive for quite awhile – depression and alcoholism, things like that,” says Aldrin. “I was trying to recover from that and ran into [Lois] afterwards.”

Asked if Lois straightened him out, Aldrin responded with a laugh. “Nah,” he insists, “I was already straight.”

The ‘Legally Blonde’ actress – who has two children, eight-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – is determined not to let her young family be influenced by Jake’s foul language, so gave him a strict set of house rules before allowing him to move into her $5 million Los Angeles home last month.|

A source said: “Reese believes in wide-open communication, and she discussed at length with him what is best for her household. Some of the things she insists on are run-of-the-mill. He has to take off his shoes when he’s in the house, trash must be taken out when the can is three-quarters full, and no feet on the coffee table.

“Jake used to swear like a sailor, but not anymore. If he does, he has to apologise.”

However, Jake is said to be unfazed by the house rules, because he is so in love with Reese.

The source added to America’s Star magazine: “Jake would much rather stay at home, make popcorn and watch a movie than step foot in a club. So when he was looking for a girlfriend, he looked for someone who was past all that – and he found her in Reese.”

Meanwhile, Jake’s sister Maggie Gyllenhaal has revealed she thinks Jake is at the right time in his life to start a family with Reese.

Of course recently being nominated for a Teen Choice Award also helps. Reese was flying solo in her mostly black outfit, but since last Sunday when she took Jake to yoga, hopefully there is more couples fun in store for the coming weekend.

Documents filed Thursday in Los Angeles show the pair have resolved the remaining issues of their split. Exact details weren’t filed, though the pair had indicated they wanted joint custody of their children, ages 8 and 4.

They opted for an uncontested divorce, which kept many of its particulars private.

Witherspoon cited “irreconcilable differences” when she filed for divorce in November 2006 after seven years of marriage.

The “Legally Blonde” actress won the best-actress Academy Award in 2006 for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in “Walk the Line.” Phillippe, who appeared in “Igby Goes Down” and “Crash,” most recently starred in “Stop-Loss.”

Publicists for both actors didn’t immediately return calls from The Associated Press on Friday

Actress Reese Witherspoon has launched a global United Nations campaign to end violence against women.

The ‘Walk The Line’ star, who is cosmetics giant Avon’s Global Ambassador to promote women’s empowerment, kicked off the beauty company’s new partnership with the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) on Tuesday.

Avon is selling Women’s Empowerment Bracelets online for $3 (€1.95) each to benefit UNIFEM.

Witherspoon said: “Every purchase of the bracelet will help empower women – 100% of the profits will go directly to the Avon Empowerment Fund to support UNIFEM in their work to end violence against women.

“I hope to see this bracelet on the wrists of women all around the world as a sign of solidarity and hope that one day every woman will be empowered and live a life free from violence.”

‘Walk the Line’ star Reese Witherspoon is officially the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.

The 31-year-old Oscar winner has beaten the likes of Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Kidman to claim the number one spot in the Hollywood Reporter’s annual female rich list – receiving a staggering $15m-$20m (€10m-€14m) per picture.

‘Tomb Raider’ star Jolie, 32, comes in second, though her salary for the current Beowulf picture was said to be a “mere” $8m (€5.4m).

Diaz, 35, is placed third, with a $15m (€10m)-per-movie salary demand, though her take-home earnings from the most recent ‘Shrek’ instalment are pegged at a very healthy $30m (€20.5m).

Last year’s number two, Nicole Kidman, 40, fell to fourth place, with an asking price of $10m (€6.8m) to $15m (€14m) a film.

Also in the $10m (€6.8m) to $15m (€10m) club are Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts, despite an absence from the screen since 2004.
