Reese Witherspoon’s greatest role to date is ‘Reese Witherspoon, girl next door’ because she’s really been a complete a**hole this whole time. Lainey Gossip has an anecdote that makes the point: ‘For years I have been telling you she’s not the sweetness she’s been selling you. And still people are surprised. At a recent Faculty of Celebrity Studies event, I told a story about Reese being a d*ck and some people were surprised, like they couldn’t believe it. Because she goes to church and has a nice smile.’ And according to Star Magazine this week, both Witherspoon and her irresponsible husband are as bad as each other. A source tells the tabloid, ’[Reese] got discovered young, she got pregnant and married young, and has no connection to the real world. With her, what happens in public and what happens in private is very different. She’s actually the real girl next door, not the cliched girl next door [and she likes] guys with an edge.’ The source adds that while CAA rep Jim Toth ‘was on his best behavior’ until recently, ‘things started to change last year’ because ‘Jim gets very loud and obnoxious when he drinks, and it’s embarrassing for Reese. He’s totally himself with her now, which means he can be a party animal again.’ However, ‘This isn’t going to break up their marriage. It was a really bad decision on both of their parts. They’re evaluating that and will make damn sure it doesn’t happen again.’
