All That Glamour And Gossip

Just wanted to check in with my favorite cutesy couple, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. The low-key duo are still very much together. 

In fact, Reese and the kids are staying in London while Jake films Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The trio shop and visit museums during the day (well she can certainly afford the exchange rate), while Reese and Jake dine alone at night. 

According to UsWeekly mag, Jake quietly moved into his girlfriend’s Hollywood pad back in June. Perhaps an engagement is not too far away? Fingers crossed…

To be honest, I want to hate Ryan Phillippe, but I don’t. I don’t even dislike him. See, he finally made a public appearance with the woman that was rumored to have broken up his seven year marriage to America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon. Ryan supported Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish as she was honored with an award at the Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards. The private couple held hands and leaned against each other throughout the entire night. Even though it was often reported that Ryan’s jealousy of Reese’s successful career led to problems in their marriage, he stepped aside and let Abbie enjoy the spotlight. 

In other news…

• Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo squash break-up rumors by sharing a romantic lunch together in Dallas (Just Jared).
• The Hills star Whitney Port is apparently being given a spin-off series by MTV in which she is bicoastal and befriending a group of NYC socialites. She denies the report but says she is open to the possibility.
• Rumors that High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale has contracted HIV from her rhinoplasty surgery last year was denied by her rep. Scary!
• Justin Timberlake has asked girlfriend Jessica Biel to move in with him, signaling that their relationship is quite serious (he didn’t live with Cameron or oh gosh, Britney). Love shack, baby.
• The blogs are rampantly discussing if Paris Hilton is preggers after a pic of her with a seemingly visible bump surfaced. I say it’s just her clingy satin dress though the heiress has expressed her wishes to be with child by next year. 

Ryan Phillippe is finally speaking up about ex-wife Reese Witherspoon. He has to tread carefully when he talks about America’s sweetheart (and my favorite actress). Good thing he has nice things to say.

In a visit to Howard Stern of all people, the “Stop-Loss” star insists that it wasn’t infidelity that ended his eight-year marriage to Reese and it wasn’t that she took home a greater paycheck (“I’m not competitive,” he says), but it was because…they spent too much time apart. Okay, so it’s not that juicy.

Well, these days Reese has been snuggling up to Jake Gyllenhaal, a former friend of Ryan’s – remember when they used to work out together?

“He’s a good dude,” Ryan said. “I think it’s super. Honestly, I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is and that’s the truth … I have no jealousy or anything like that.” Aw, that’s sweet.

The usually quiet, doting daddy of two has been showing more of his sensitive side recently. Ryan did previously open up that he was depressed after his marriage ended. In an interview with USA Today, he admits that he avoids seeing photos of Gyllenspoon because it’s “bizarre.” Yeah, it’s not easy watching your ex move on.

Ryan politely sidesteps questions about his rumored flame and co-star, Abbie Cornish, though he does address with Howard Stern the supposed hook-ups that the media has coupled him with. Lindsay Lohan? Nope. Ashlee Simpson? Nope. Britney Spears? Hah, no. Ryan says he “experienced some women after my divorce, but none of them were really famous.” Hmm, Abbie Cornish wasn’t famous…

Anyways, Mr. Phillippe says that he definitely wants to get married and have kids again. He deserves it for being such a good-lookin’ optimist!
