Reese and Ryan Get Together For the Kids

While their divorce was kinda messy, at least Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are able to put aside their differences for the sake of their children.

The former couple attended their 3-year-old son’s school talent show recently.  Though there is bad blood and hurt feelings between the two actors, they made nice by both attending the event.

As all good things tend to do, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon as a couple has come to an end.  It’s been a great three months, but these two are moving on.

Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon Talk Turkey

Divorce is a tricky thing.  Not only does it destroy families and put children in the middle, but it also has a tendency to drag on for ages.  Reese Witherspoon’s divorce from Ryan Phillippe is starting to look very similar to other Hollywood splits - messy.

Apparently Reese is attempting to make off with their two children. She had requested primary custody of Ava, seven, and Deacon, three, in her November filing.  Ryan isn’t too keen on that, taking legal action of his own.

Celebrity Mothers Set The Bar High

It can be intimidating for new mothers these days.  In addition to the whole new world of taking care of a newborn and maintaining a family, there is this emerging phenomenon of “have it all” mothers in Hollywood.  Every time you turn on the television or hop on the Internet there are constant images of celebrity children (both biological and adopted) alongside their enormously successful movie star moms.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes and Gwen Stefani top the list of celeb mommies that appear to have paired career success with motherhood. On the other side of that coin are experts that say that such a perception is unrealistic.
