G(Reese) Is The Werd...

You're The One That I Want
Reese Witherspoon

Levity is the name of today's game, not the name game. While I saw this photo when it was initially posted on her Instagram page, I stumbled upon it again surfing the WWW. You might could say, it made me smile because it is so damned silly. 

"Yes" Minions I hereby declare today Grease on Reese day! Can I get a hoot and a holler?! Of course I can!!!

I mean just how fun is this image I ask you? I asked you, answer me damn it! Fine moving on...today is about fun not strife, so I can take a non-response, for now.

My decree for all of you today is to do something silly, but not with string. Photoshop is the challenge of the day, do it and do it now!

Monday Motivation

No Drama
Big Little Lies

"Monday mornin´, it was all I hoped it would be, Oh Monday mornin´, Monday mornin´ couldn´t guarantee" Monday, Monday - The Mamas and the Papas

Ahhhhhhhhhh "Yes" it's another Manic Monday but does that mean there has to be drama? Noooooooooo! Today's Monday Motivation, or MM as as we now defer to it is, just say no to drama.

Man I really don't go from one self induced crisis to another. Not my style or jam. I prefer to stay in my lane and know my role.

No drama, or minimal drama (because let's face it, life always has some static) is the way to achieve being your own personal best.

Thus I declare this Monday, and for that matter the rest of everyone's week, and for that matter again, life - a drama free zone! Honestly the only drama I want is when I watch Big Little Lies every week, mic drop? Hell "Yes!" 

Ain't nobody got time for that sh!t for reals...

Paint It Black

Gal Gadot

Last night's Golden Globes were underwhelming at best, yeah there were a few great moments, but for the most part... However Hollywood did deliver on a rumored promise that all the stars would be wearing black to make a statement against sexual abuse in the Entertainment industry and beyond. 

The red carpet was black last night in what proved to be the most intriguing part of the awards show.

In solidarity, today I am running photos from the event of stars in their finest black. #TimesUp  #MeToo

Who Sported It Best?
Reese Witherspoon & Gillian Anderson 

In what appears to be a battle of the blondes, here is a shot of Reese Witherspoon & Gillian Anderson at AFI Awards in Los Angeles.

It appears Gillian is staking claim on Blonde Ambition while Reese is aiming for the Blonde Next Door. 

Maybe the pair will do a movie together. 2 Broke Blondes or perhaps 2 Blondes A Brunette & A Pizza Place. 

Whatever the scenario, let's face it, there is never enough blonde in the world!!!

Cheers!

Just Because...Christie & Reese

OMG!
Christie Brinkley & Reese Witherspoon

Just Because it's Tuesday, just because this was an amazing photo-op & just because they both look terrific together I present an image of supermodel Christie Brinkley with Reese Witherspoon at a HOME AGAIN event in East Hampton.

Christie re-defines what it is to be a woman in her 60's, she is 63. While Reese is in a category all her own.

Independent, strong, not to mention they are both lookers - these two have it going on!

To me this is hands down the best photo of two celebrities I have seen together all week. Yeah, I know it's only Tuesday, but I highly doubt (actually I am 100% sure) nothing will top this image in terms of voltage.

Now click your heels together and carry on.

Hot Couple Alert! Reese Witherspoon & Mickey Mouse!

Hot Couple
Reese Witherspoon & Mickey Mouse

Reese Witherspoon was grinning like the Cheshire Cat as she was snapped with her date for the evening, the one and only Mickey Mouse at the red carpet opening of Planet Hollywood Disney Springs in Orlando, FL.

Reese looked adorable in a lacy red spring dress, while Mickey looked dapper in his signature tuxedo with yellow bow tie and read pants.

The two were thisclose for the event.

No word if there might be any mouse pups in their future. "Yes" mouse pup is a real thing. Google it.

Smiles everyone, smiles tomorrow is the first day of Spring, have a good one!

Margaritaville w/Oprah Winfrey

On The Rocks, Or Blended?
Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is a woman of many talents, who knew one of them was making a kick ass margarita?!

Well according to Reese Witherspoon's Instagram post not only does Oprah make margaritas she "makes the BEST margarita" and so the story goes from this pic of Oprah exhibiting her bartender skills at the Wrinkle in Time wrap party while on location in New Zealand.

Being that it's Friday and all, I surely had to help you start your weekend on a positive, not to mention thirsty note. 

Who knew the refreshing tequila concoction was part of the Weight Watchers program...not!!!

Cheers!

TBT: "Bend & Snap"

Bend & Snap
Reese Witherspoon

Just when you couldn't feel any older than you do, Reese Witherspoon is here to remind you, you are. Yeah, thanks a lot, Reese!

Reese's star vehicle Legally Blonde is now fifteen years old, that's like over one hundred in dog years. She took to her Instagram and Snap Chat to remind everyone of that by recreating costumes and scenes from the movie. She also reminded us of Elle Woods flirtatious "Bend & Snap" move she taught the lovelorn Jennifer Coolidge in the film.

I Want To Go To Harvard
Reese Witherspoon

While completely formulaic, LB is one of the funniest comedy's I have ever seen thanks in no small part to Witherspoon's spot on performance. Not to mention a juicy little cameo by Raquel Welch, just to let you know how truly old I am...

Enjoy the photos of Reese paying homage to the film that made her a star.

Happy Throwback Thursday!

"I'm The F#cking Marcia Brady Of The Upper East Side"

Blonde, Brown, Buffy, Kathryn !
Sarah Michelle Gellar 

"And sometimes I want to kill myself" - Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, Cruel Intentions 1999

Do you remember the movie Cruel Intentions? Well I sure do! This will always remain one of my favorites! I've seen it like 10 + fucking times! Hey, who has never felt like that about this classic? If your answer is no, you lie!

So, in case you haven't heard SMG is back as KM = Sarah Michelle Gellar is back as Kathryn Merteuil in the TV series based on the iconic film. The Title? Duh, Cruel Intentions. 

Hey, who else was going to do it?! Ryan Phillippe's character be dead. Reese Witherspoon, well you know she ain't got time for that noise! However if they want to bring back Selma Blair for some more girl on girl tongue action...

Yeah, I bet you are all like myself, down with that!

"Brown Hair, don't care" 

Sarah Michelle rulz!

Now if she would only revisit the character of Buffy from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jackpot! 

Go gram with Sarah Michelle on Instagram:

And The Oscar Goes To...

Does anyone out there really care who wins the Oscars anymore? I know I don't, but it is fun to watch the spectacle that accompanies it. 

Below are 7 Things my friends at E! think you should know about the Oscars. I will re-iterate for those who may not be in the loop, that I really have no passion for covering award shows, thus I re-post whatever catches my fancy.

Of those 7 Things the two I am personally excited for are Chris Rock Hosting and of course the musical performances!

Here are E!'s top 7 Things, enjoy the show!

1. Rock the Boat: For weeks, fans have been speculating as to what Chris Rock will say and do when he host's tonight show. The guessing games only continued when he posted a tweet Friday with the words, "See you Sunday…#BlackOut #Oscars." Will the #OscarsSoWhite controversy be addressed? Watch what happens!

2. Thanks Academy: This year's producers are trying to make acceptance speeches a little more engaging. So what's their plan? Nominees were asked to submit a list of the people they'd like to thank. Those names will then run across the bottom of the screen while the winners fill this 45-second maximum time requirement.

3. Leo's Time: From the SAG Awards to the BAFTAs, Leonardo has been able to pick up the Best Actor trophy all season long thanks to his role as frontiersman Hugh Glass in The Revenant. After six Oscar nominations over his career, this has to be his year, right? Before you place your bets, though, don't forget that he's up against Bryan Cranston, Matt Damon, Michael Fassbender and Eddie Redmayne.

4. Boycott: Because of the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, some stars have made it clear that they will not be attending the show. Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Spike Lee are opting to pass on the event. 

Meanwhile, Selma director Ava DuVernay and Creed director Ryan Coogler are opting to attend a special event in Michigan titled #JusticeForFlint.

5. Red Carpet Magic: Ryan Seacrest is back on the carpet with a front-row seat to all the gowns, tuxedos and fashion for tonight's show. During Live From the Red Carpet, the pro will be chatting with all the big stars. Giuliana Rancic, Kris Jenner,Zanna Roberts Rassi and Ashley Graham will also be close by to dissect all the hot looks.

6. The Weeknd's Big Weekend: Three of the five nominees for Best Original Song have been given the opportunity to perform their songs live at the Dolby Theatre. Audiences can look forward to Sam Smith's "Writings on the Wall," The Weeknd's "Earned It" and Lady Gaga's "Till it Happens to You." In an added twist, The Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl will also be on-hand for a "special performance."

7. A-list Alert: If you're favorite Hollywood star isn't nominated, that doesn't mean you won't see them at the Oscars. The Academy has announced that familiar faces including Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Sofia Vergara, John Legend and Jennifer Garner are just some of the stars expected to present awards tonight.

Reese Witherspoon Sprinkles Fairy Dust

Don't Make Me Dust You! Reese Witherspoon

Do you believe in fairies? If so clap your hands, Reese Witherspoon is set to produce and star in Tink. Tink will be a live action story based on the temperamental character Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.

Much like Angelina Jolie in Maleficent, Tink is supposed to give viewers insight into "the story you don't know," and will offer a new perspective on our favorite Disney fairy.

Reese will be an awesome Tinker Bell! But please Reese, don't wear boots.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Has "Cruel Intentions"

Sarah Michelle Gellar & The Cast Of "Cruel Intentions: The Completely Unauthorized Musical
Photo: Abel Armas 

One of my favorite movies ever is 1999's cult classic Cruel Intentions. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon & Ryan Phillippe.

Based on the novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" by Choderlos de Laclos, written and directed by Roger Kumble.

It was the set where Ryan met Reese and they eventually married and got divorced, and Sarah Michelle Gellar and Selma Blair had one of the hottest girl on girl lip locks ever.

Cut to this past Friday, April 10th 2015 where: 

Cruel Intentions: The Completely Unauthorized Musical parody opened at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles, CA.

Oh, guess who was front row and center?

Sarah Michelle Gallar herself who was joined by the film's original writer/director Roger Kumble and costar Sean Patrick Thomas. The group laughed, cheered and took photos from their seats, and after, Gellar rushed backstage to meet and praise her counterpart. 

                           
Oh, BTW that famous kiss scene with Selma Blair? In case you had any doubt ... it's part of the show (and they're even singing "Kiss Me" by The Cardigans as they do it). 

"It's so crazy. It was such a flood of memories. I don't necessarily think of it as me," Gellar stated. "But then they started talking, and I could feel the words coming out of my mouth!"

Reese Witherspoon & Jimmy Fallon Get Random

We're Insane: Reese Witherspoon & Jimmy Fallon

Reese Witherspoon dropped by to have some Yuletide fun with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show yesterday evening.

Thew self confessed Christmas hound and star of the upcoming film Wild sang random phrase Christmas Carols with Jimmy.

It's like The Name Game, but with off the wall phrases added to favorite Holiday songs, you get the gist? 

Fallon kicked it off with a rendition of a song about a "small old man" to the tune of "Jingle Bells."

Witherspoon did an equally silly song to the tune of "Silent Night" and for the finale both did a loopy duet inspired by "Deck The Halls."

Safe bet none of this will ever be available on ITunes - but a jolly good time was had by all! Check out the merriment after the jump! Ho ho ho!

You Go Ghoul! Reese Witherspoon

Hi, I'm Reese Witherspoon

OK, before you all get evil and start throwing bobbed apples at me, I love Ms. Witherspoon, I simply like to keep my posts somewhat geared to my favorite time of year. Thus the "Ghoul" reference.

Actually this post is a Valentine not a Trick to one of my favorite actresses. Reese is awesome and so deserved her Academy Award for her performance as June Carter Cash in Walk The Line. 

Not to mention she was brilliant in two of my personal favorite films of all time, as Tracy Flick in Alexander Payne's Election and Vanessa Lutz in Freeway.

Vanessa: Holy shit! Look who got beat with the ugly stick. Is that you Bob? "Freeway"

I would like to give Reese the utmost respect for how she recently addressed her arrest in 2013. It was an honest comment on the human condition. Happy Halloween Reese!

Source Us Weekly: 

Reese Witherspoon's arrest in April 2013 was something of a wake-up call -- and not just for her. Asked about the incident during a press conference for her new movie Wild at the BFI London Film Festival on Monday, Oct. 13, the actress said she thinks it opened the world's eyes to the fact that there's more to her than the America's Sweetheart persona she has cultivated on-screen. 

"I think it was a moment where people realized that I wasn't exactly what they thought I was," the 38-year-old star said (via The Hollywood Reporter). "I guess maybe we all like to define people by the way the media presents them, and I think that I showed I have a complexity that people didn't know about." 

Of the arrest -- for disorderly conduct in Atlanta, where she was filming The Good Lie at the time -- she added, "It's part of human nature. I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. The best you can do is say sorry and learn from it and move on."
