Reese Witherspoon wants to try and shake her Type-A persona somewhat and in a recent interview with Elle magazine insisted that she’s a heck of a lot more fun-loving and carefree than most people would think.

“I wouldn’t be able to do what I do if I were [always in control]. I wouldn’t be able to have the empathy or the capacity to understand different lives.”

“I’m fun. I can be really fun. I can tell we’d have a lot of fun if the [interviewer’s] tape was off…”

I’m sure Reese is fun in her own “hey-teacher-you-forgot-to-give-us-homework” sort of way, but it reminds me too much of when someone tells me how “funny” they are. I generally respond by telling them, “Yeah, I’ll be the judge of that because I too consider myself to be funny. You can tell because I’m wearing a shirt that says, ‘Funny Bitch.’ Get it? It validates me in a way that laughter never could.”

Right now, it sounds like they’re off and in a big way. Apparently, at the Toronto Film Festival, where the two were promoting their film, “Rendition,” Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were keeping plenty of distance between each other, enough to make it look like they possibly weren’t even on speaking terms. On the last day the two spent in Toronto, they seemed very distant for most of the day and it wasn’t until late that night that they seemed to reconnect somewhat. According to a witness, “They seemed like a couple.” However, the next day, each left separately for different coasts, so it’s anyone’s guess as to the status of their relationship at the moment. But, Us reports that there still might be hope yet for these two.

“They’re a rocky couple,” says one insider. “It would not be a shock if they got back together.”

Whatever, I don’t really care if they stay together or not. I just think they’d make cute babies. And if that’s not enough to hold a couple together, then maybe I need to have a serious talk with my boyfriend.

The woman who has made a business out of the prase “never let ‘em see you sweat” finally spoke publicly about her divorce in a recent interview with Elle magazine. Reese Witherspoon posed for this spread, looking beautiful as always, but I have to say that I would have liked to see something a little more inventive, instead of the Gap ads we see before us. That aside, she opened up about freaking out over her divorce. She said that her worst point came last Christmas, a few short months after she and ex-husband Ryan Phillippe first split. She found herself, frozen in a panic in a parking lot, unable to leave the car.

“I thought, Okay, half of the parking lot has dealt with this. More than half of the parking lot has dealt with this. Okay, let’s make it a little bigger. Half of this city has dealt with this. Okay, let’s make it a little bigger - half of this country, until I finally got out of the car.”

Aww, I have to say, that I like it when I see cracks in the otherwise perfect, glossy finish that seems to coat Reese Witherspoon. Not Courtney Love or Britney Spears-sized cracks, but ones like these that I can relate to. Only, when I can’t get out of the car, it’s probably because I’ve forgotten how to unlock the door. But then again, I do a lot of drinking.

But seriously, Reese, how are we supposed to believe you when you two share little moments like these? I mean, I feel like I saw Angie making those same eyes at Brad not that long ago and simply can’t resist imagining that there’s a little something more going on than just “friend” activities. I just feel like these two would have such great matching outfits on the red-carpet, that I can’t help but hope. But Jake and Reese recently chatted with Entertainment Tonight about the film that started all the rumors, “Rendition,” which has been touring the major festival circuit and for which its two stars have been hitting the press junkets, chatting up the movie and addressing the issue of their “relationship.” According to Entertainment Tonight:

Reese says the rumors are not an issue between her and Jake. “We never discussed that,” she says. “I just have to laugh at a lot of stuff.”

Jake also finds the gossip amusing. “There are a lot of very interesting rumors swirling around all the time that you just have to have fun with,” he says. “The interest is flattering but funny too.”

I like to think that the “funny” they’re referring to are our well-aimed quips here at ASL. Score for us.

Downlow lovers Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are still creepin’. They were each spotted on the beautiful island paradise of Martha’s Vineyard recently, pretending they weren’t shacking up. Then again, Jake could just be braiding her daughter’s hair and watching “Notting Hill” with Reese over pints of ice cream. You never know with this guy.

Jakey G, wearing his best pair of homemade capris, is vacationing on the island after wrapping his new film, “Rendition,” — in which he co-stars with the hot, Oscar-toting Reese Witherspoon. Reports say Reese’s Pieces are on the island as well!

Hopefully there will be some sort of spandex show, because everyone on Martha’s rides a bike and that’s Jake’s thing. Someone get some snaps of the spandex goodness for me. Why are these two hiding out? People know. Is it because Phillipe’s being stank? He’s the one who cheated in the first place, so that cherubic sex angel hasn’t a leg to stand on. Though, let’s hope it’s a tripod. I don’t know what that meant, but it sounded lewd and faggy enough to end this post on it.

Rumors have been circulating of a possible reconciliation between Reese and ex-hubby, Ryan Phillippe, but it looks like they may have been a bit off-target, if Reese’s recent rendezvous with Jake Gyllenhaal are any indication of where her heart is at the moment. Last week, Reese decided to mix some business with pleasure when she booked a guest suite for herself at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel. She met up with her “Rendition” co-star for a secret lunch date after a press event she attended for cosmetics company Avon. After their meet-up, the couple retired for the evening at Jake’s home in the Hollywood Hills, since Reese has a strict policy of no sleep-overs while the kids are at home. Reese does appear to be getting along swimmingly with Jake after their month-long break from one another and according to an inside source, any talk of a reconciliation between Reese and Phillippe is completely bogus.

“If any of her friends thought for a second that she was considering getting back together with that a–hole, they would all set up camp at her house to stop her!”

Even though J. Harvey has expressed a lust for both men, I have to say that Jake is both HOT and appears trustworthy, which beats out a sensual pucker every time for me.

We should all have this bitch’s problem. Despite reports that she was once again entertaining Jake Gyllenhaal’s spandex goodness in her automobile and home, sources are saying that she’s trying to make things work with her cherubic sex god ex-husband, Ryan Phillipe. This chick has it all. Movie career, beautiful children, and two hot guys interested in her. Why doesn’t she just win the lottery or ascend to godhood? I’m a hater.

The Oscar-winning cutie and her husband - who separated last October amid reports he’d grown very close to comely Australian actress Abbie Cornish - have been spotted shopping, jogging and lunching together in Los Angeles.

“They met for lunch this week at the Votre Sante health-food restaurant, a regular Brentwood haunt for Reese on San Vicente,” said our source. “And they’re going on runs together around the Brentwood Country Club. Both are regular, dedicated runners. Running is a very healing, meditative thing, so maybe it will work its magic on them.”

Honestly, I see people out running lately in August’s 9,000 heat and I don’t feel like it’s magic. I feel like some of these freaks’ brains are boiling in their skulls and they’re going to start bleeding out their eyes. Physically fit people are crazy. Have a drink. That works wonders, too. Anyway, a friend of Reese’s confirms they’re hanging. Phillipe’s rep flat out denied it. So that Ryan can tongue-lash any new piece that comes along while hanging with Reese and then can deny there was a try at getting back together. As for Gyllenhaal, sources say he has a hot ass and sexy hound dog eyes and needs to call me.

Avon, being the keen folks they are, have scored Reese Witherspoon. She will be undertaking the role of Lindsay Lohan backhanded barb fun. Or stop on by and give props to the overlooked of the celebrity world.

Guess who’s still hangin’ out? That’s right - Jakey G and Reese! You thought that was over, dintcha? Nope. He hopped in her hoopdee and they sped away. I’m telling you, she’s uptight and he’s lowkey and showing her how to take three deep belly breaths, and do a body scan and go to her place of gladness. Phillipe was always out on the prowl, and it had her all tense.

Elusive Reese Witherspoon and spandex man Jake Gyllenhaal were caught in a rare moment outside Jake’s Hollywood Hills home, where Reese picked up the hot piece. The highly unpublic duo wore his n’ her sunglasses — but could not escape the glare of a paparazzo who snapped them. The sexy duo then sped toward Reese’s Brentwood home — what’s up with the supposed break up?

Maybe there’s more pressure when you’re full-on out there with your relationship. Look how pissed off and miserable JT and Jessica Biel look lately. And maybe they were just getting together to go do looping for the film they just shot together. A likely story. He’s all up in her area and I say, God bless. Maybe she’ll lighten the hell up.

Reese and her look-alike daughter, Ava, did a little mother-daughter bonding over the weekend. Reese looks ultra classic in her khaki shorts and dark blue cardigan. I am not normally a fan of such a prim and proper look, but she pulls it off effortlessly. The aviators give her a bit of cool and the […]
