The Rundown On Reese’s Engagement Ring

We are officially jealous of Reese Witherspoon. We’re getting information on the ring Jim Toth offered her and damn, is it awesome. The timeless design by William Goldberg features a square-cut 4-karat diamond and pave diamond band. While the diamond may look standard, it’s anything but. Apparently the cut was inspired by a diamond once owned by the Indian Buddhist warrior and emperor Ashoka Maruya. According to Glam Chic: “The stone has 62 displayed facets and rounded corners, which creates more sparkle and fire than most traditional cuts.” No word on how much it’s worth … but you can bet that it cost more than a pretty penny.

Reese Witherspoon Says Her Divorce Gives Her More To Tap Into Creatively

“It definitely sometimes feels like a suit that I wish I could zip off. But I don’t feel bad about any of the things I’ve gone through, whether it’s divorce or breakups or anything like that, because that’s all part of the life journey, and I have those experiences just like anyone else. And I think it deepens what you tap into creatively.”

Reese Witherspoon Thinks Funny Never Sags

“There’s always going to be somebody younger or sexier. That’s why I like to say, and it’s become my famous line, ‘Funny doesn’t sag.’ I think as a woman, you get older, you feel more confident in your sexuality. You’re not as intimidated by it, not as embarrassed by it. Sexuality and femininity is an accumulation of age and wisdom and comfort in your own skin. I feel better — so much better now than I ever did in my twenties. I am calmer; I know who I am. And as a result, I feel much sexier.”

Reese Witherspoon talks to Glamour about aging. Well, her funny certainly is not sagging. But fortunately for her, neither is anything else. [PopEater] Keep reading »

Reese Witherspoon Loves A Good Rom-Com

“I love romantic comedies. I watch them all the time. I love all my fellow female romantic comedy queens, like Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner and Katie Heigl. I also think that the questions romantic comedies ask about men and women are universal.”

Reese Witherspoon defends the film genre that pays her bills in the January 2011 (!!!) issue of Glamour. You know, I’m gonna agree with her. Yes, often the writing is crap. But honestly, I relate to a lot of the female characters in romantic comedies, though not always proudly. Keep reading »

Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond Gives Away Mixers, 43,000 Commenters Clamor For Them

A couple months ago, I started reading The Pioneer Woman blog. It’s run by a woman named Ree Drummond, who has a cowboy for a husband, and a crew of kids, and lives on a ranch in Oklahoma. She’s like Dooce, but not so cranky. She writes about her life, and posts photographs, and blogs about cooking. By doing this, she’s gotten famous and successful. Currently, her life is being turned into a movie starring Reese Witherspoon, and she’s written a cookbook. Supposedly, her blog gets in the neighborhood of 13 million page views a month. So I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when, recently, she wrote a post in which she was giving away three candy apple red Kitchen Aid mixers. It retails for up to $400. To enter to win, all you had to do was a post a comment in which you stated your level of happiness on a scale of one to 10. That give-away post got nearly 43,000 comments. I don’t know how many comments the most commented-on post on The Frisky has gotten, but I know it’s not 43,000 (although we haven’t started giving away mixers — yet). That that many people wanted a free mixer has boggled my mind. It just seems strange to me. A mixer? Really? Enlighten me, girls. [The Pioneer Woman] Keep reading »
