Loose And Horny

RYAN Phillippe is single and on the prowl. Reese Witherspoon's soon-to-be ex was out drinking with buddy Joseph Gordon-Levitt last Thursday at the Chateau Marmont in L.A. and, according to our spy, got a little rowdy. "He was really obnoxious," we're told. "He started screaming at these girls, 'Hey, you're hot! Get over here!' The girls just ignored him." Phillippe and Gordon-Levitt tried their luck with several other women before leaving for the more fertile grounds of Teddy's. Phillippe's rep didn't return calls.

Best thread subtitle ever

Thanks, soho...Excuse the snark(in a testy mood when I posted this)..I mean, geez he may look pretty...but cheat on Reese and go through a divorce? What the hell is he thinking? Apologies to Ryan fans, and superfans alike.

RYAN PHILLIPPE IS ON THE PROWL

Fresh from his separation from Reese Witherspoon, the New York Post says Ryan Phillippe is on the loose and looking to punch some kitty. Page Six says:

Ryan was out drinking with buddy Joseph Gordon-Levitt last Thursday at the Chateau Marmont in L.A. and, according to our spy, got a little rowdy. "He was really obnoxious," we're told. "He started screaming at these girls, 'Hey, you're hot! Get over here!' The girls just ignored him." Phillippe and Gordon-Levitt tried their luck with several other women before leaving for the more fertile grounds of Teddy's.

I can't offer any tips to this silver tongued devil, because "hey you're hot get over here" is a pretty good line, but maybe he could try just throwing a net over his prey partner next time. Or have a moat filled with crocodiles installed around the club after the girls are all there. Just follow your heart, I guess is what I'm saying.

Ryan Phillippe Seeks Joint Custody of Kids
By Ken Lee

Ryan Phillippe has filed a legal response to soon-to-be ex-wife Reese Witherspoon's divorce claim, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

In his filing submitted Tuesday, Phillippe, 32, cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, and also seeks joint custody over their two kids, daughter Ava, 7, and son Deacon, 3.

The documents ask that child visitation be "equally allocated."

Phillippe is not asking for any spousal support from Witherspoon, nor is he blocking her from requesting any from him.

Witherspoon initially filed for divorce in November after the couple announced their separation on Oct. 30. She had requested that the court not grant any spousal support to Phillippe.

For about the past two months, Witherspoon has been spending time with Jake Gyllenhaal, 26, her costar in the upcoming CIA thriller Rendition.

Phillippe recently wrapped a role in a forthcoming Iraq war film, Stop Loss.

Ryan Phillipe Wants The Kids Part-Time
Filed under: Custody , Reese Witherspoon , Ryan Phillippe



Hot Ryan Phillipe has filed for joint custody of the kiddies he had with ex Reese Witherspoon. He also doesn't want any alimony, even though you know she has WAY more money then he does. Wow, he's a man's man AND sexy as hell. You know she piledrivered him with nagging even before he cheated on her ass. She's not all mint juleps if you know what I'm sayin'.

Phillippe is not asking for any spousal support from Witherspoon, nor is he blocking her from requesting any from him.

And he's even saying she can seek support from him, even though you know that cracked her ass up. She probably got those documents while lying on a bed of cash and her kids came rolling in on their Segway riders because the house is so big and they were like "Mommy, what's so funny! Tell us!" and she was like "Oh your Daddy's so silly! That damn fool. Cute, though."

Side Dish

Reps for Britney Spears and Ryan Phillippe are trying to douse the National Enquirer's claim that the two hooked up in a bathroom at L.A. hot spot Les Deux last week. A source told the tab that shortly after Ryan stopped by Brit's table, "Britney had her arms around him." The former Mrs. Kevin Federline is said to have then followed Reese Witherspoon's estranged husband to the men's room. Her worried bodyguards are said to have later "busted in the door and found Britney and Ryan groping and kissing." Their mouthpieces insist they never even spoke at the club.

Reese and Ryan Reunite -- for an Hour
Posted Jun 27th 2007 1:08PM by TMZ Staff
Filed under: Paparazzi Photo

It was a hot day in Santa Monica, but you'd never know it from the big chill between exes Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe. Legally un-fond!

The formerly inseparable twosome kept their distance while leaving a talent show at three-year-old son Deacon's school with daughter Ava. Future celebuspawn in training!

It's not tough for Ryan to look sexy -- even in a sloppy jacket, beltless pants and skeezy tank top, while Reese looks breezily unaware of his existence. The exiting exes arrived separately, and a TMZ source says they didn't interact much at the event.

Torn Between Two Fine Ass Men
Filed under: Jake Gyllenhaal , Reese Witherspoon , Ryan Phillippe



We should all have this bitch's problem. Despite reports that she was once again entertaining Jake Gyllenhaal's spandex goodness in her automobile and home, sources are saying that she's trying to make things work with her cherubic sex god ex-husband, Ryan Phillipe. This chick has it all. Movie career, beautiful children, and two hot guys interested in her. Why doesn't she just win the lottery or ascend to godhood? I'm a hater.

The Oscar-winning cutie and her husband - who separated last October amid reports he'd grown very close to comely Australian actress Abbie Cornish - have been spotted shopping, jogging and lunching together in Los Angeles.

"They met for lunch this week at the Votre Sante health-food restaurant, a regular Brentwood haunt for Reese on San Vicente," said our source. "And they're going on runs together around the Brentwood Country Club. Both are regular, dedicated runners. Running is a very healing, meditative thing, so maybe it will work its magic on them."

Honestly, I see people out running lately in August's 9,000 heat and I don't feel like it's magic. I feel like some of these freaks' brains are boiling in their skulls and they're going to start bleeding out their eyes. Physically fit people are crazy. Have a drink. That works wonders, too. Anyway, a friend of Reese's confirms they're hanging. Phillipe's rep flat out denied it. So that Ryan can tongue-lash any new piece that comes along while hanging with Reese and then can deny there was a try at getting back together. As for Gyllenhaal, sources say he has a hot ass and sexy hound dog eyes and needs to call me.

RYAN Phillipe calling one of his friends to get him into Ritual supper club in Hollywood when a doorman didn't recognize him with his scruffy beard.


I had to wait a long ass time to get in there this weekend....The funky ass doorman told me it was nothing personal, and it would help our cause to bring in a female or females. I was always taught not to bring sand to the beach?

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe Legally Free to Wed Others



Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are legally free to marry others, court documents reveal.

As of Oct. 5, their status as a married couple was terminated. To finalize the divorce, however, they still must settle their finances and custody arrangements over daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 3. Both parents are seeking a shared custody arrangement.

After seven years of marriage, Witherspoon, 31, filed for divorce last November, citing irreconcilable differences.

The Oscar-winning actress has since been linked on-again, off-again with her Rendition costar, Jake Gyllenhaal, although the two have remained low-key.

Witherspoon told the October issue of Elle that she found strength in realizing that so many others have also made it through the pain of a divorce.

In February, Phillippe, 33, told Ellen DeGeneres that the divorce is "the most personally devastating time in [my] life," but that daughter Eva serves as his inspiration.

The former couple met when a mutual friend brought Phillippe to Witherspoon's 21st-birthday party. Two years later, after they had costarred in 1999's Cruel Intentions, he proposed. They married in June 1999 and had Ava three months later.

Looks like Ryan and his Aussie bimbo are getting ready to come out as a couple:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/art-imitat...3619197211.html



The Viking project sounds unbelievably bad.

Not too bad for Netflix.

I finally got a chance to see "Candy" on DVD. I realize you're a Reese Witherspoon fan but Abbie is a very good actress (Heath was great in it and the reason why I rented it). I wouldn't exactly call her a bimbo because talent-wise, she isn't one.

The Viking project is odd--but then most of what is being green-lighted these days in Hollywood is pretty odd or bad.

So Abbie and Ryan have been running around doing fake PDA all over the place and dragging Ryan's kids into it?

Or is that the bimbo ex wife?

Touché, chanel10.

But that's okay for the bimbo ex-wife because she makes $25 million a picture and has a sterling reputation.

Well, I called her a bimbo because this seems like another pointer that Ryan did really cheat with her. They got such bad personal publicity that only determination on their parts would get them together in another pic. The film they hooked up on hasn't been released yet.

We've always questioned whether he cheated with AC or whether that was a staged event. Remember?

I was reading too quickly an hour ago, and missed the sarcasm.

I'll post my comments on RW on her thread.

Re Cornish - they're calling her the "new Nicole Kidman", and it's so unfair to do this to untried young actors. There are fewer decent dramatic parts for women than there were even ten years ago. There are good parts in indie films - fine, but how many people see those films? Studio films offer only stereotypical wife/girlfriend parts, or glorified extra parts, like AC's role in The Golden Age (meh! Don't even rent it). She was lost amongst the scenery. The answer might be to team up with some-one who has contacts and can use some muscle on your behalf.

And maybe she has done that.

Btw, Ryan usually chooses pretty classy projects - Gosford Park, Flags of our Fathers. It's just that his own work is nothing special.

Yes I was being sarcastic because I don't truly think that either Reese or Abbie are bimbos.

That marriage didn't break down because of one half of it's participants and Abbie came along way too late to affect it anyway.
She got unfairly dragged through the mud. And really so did Ryan.

Ryan is not perfect and neither is Reese.

Yet at this moment in time, Ryan is just making a movie and minding his own business.
Even if Reese/Jake are real, the way they are conducting this relationship is not at all classy. Anyone who thinks they just happen to be living their lives and keep bumping into the 'paps' are naive at best.

Ryan cheated on Reese. He betrayed the marriage.

Yeah, but they had been having problems and been in therapy for a very long time. Very rarely is only one side to blame in a break-up. Plus, this is Hollywood. Chances are both of them have cheated at some point.

Ryan probably did cheat along the way but I was specifically stating that the marriage was already dead by the time Abbie Cornish came along so it was unfair for her to be the reason they broke up.

I didn't even follow gossip columns during Ryan/Reese marriage but even I was aware that their marriage was in trouble for almost all of it. When they separated was anyone really surprised?

The Ryan/Abbie rumours were a good chance for Ryan/Reese to get out of something they didn't want to be in but Reese allowed a young actress to be dragged through the mud for her own gain.
And this is a woman who now thinks she is going to run around for the women of the world through Avon. How about not stepping on those below you first? That would be a good help. What a hypocrite.

When a marriage breaks down it's very rarely for a single reason. So why does Ryan get 100% of the blame.

Word. Did you read what Hedda (where are you?? You are SORELY missed) had to say about Ryan and Reese? She said in her old posts that by the time the marriage ended, it had been over for a long while; Reese had used the marital bliss phooey with Ryan as a front during the Oscar Awards 2006 season to help her get an Oscar. When that was over, the marriage was dead--but it had been dead long before that. According to Hedda, Reese nickled and dimed Ryan (even though she always made more money than he and was always quick to point that out to him) and treated him like hired help to the point he would sleep in his office or away from the home because he couldn't take another fight with her.

Hedda added that the price Ryan had to make to get out of that marriage was to allow himself to be painted as the villain in the public eye to Reese's sweet little victim status.

As far as Reese's current behavior goes, I think she's ridiculous and definitely has something to prove (as does her "partner"--Jake "Toothy Tile" Gyllenhaal). I don't see Ryan carrying Abbie about on piggy-back in full view of an army of photogs; (And of course, so many of these photo-ops are pre-arranged--I work in media and know all about publicists calling photographers to let them know that so and so will be at a particular site at a particular time--it's done ALL the time). I think whatever relationship that Ryan and Abbie have (if it's currently going on) has been conducted quietly and definitely with more class than those two bozos. This woman seems so arrogant and full of herself, she probably thinks she magically turned Toothy into the raging hetero he is today
She makes me gag and I'm still not sold on her reviving Jake's career as a result of their relationship, whatever it is. It's not like she helped Ryan that much either (although his choice of projects have been good).

mrfutter, how was "The Golden Age?" Is it really that bad? I really was dying to see it until I read the reviews. I'm such a big fan of Cate and that time period I don't know whether I should wait until the DVD comes out.

TGA is a very mediocre film: more like a historical pageant than a real, dramatic story. AC was wan in a thankless role. Apart from Cate, they were all parts of the scenery.

Reese Witherspoon's Son Gets Job Offer
By Stephen M. Silverman

Having famous parents sure can be helpful to one's career. Just ask Deacon Witherspoon.

Though only 4, the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe (his folks are divorced) has a job all lined up for himself now that his mom reportedly told Britain's Daily Express that she and Phillippe aren't anxious for the boy, or even his older sister, to go into showbiz.

"He wants to be a pizza delivery boy," the Walk the Line Oscar winner, 31, is quoted as telling the paper. "Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it's hard to see how it could be a career as such."

Have no fear, Reese, the Pizza Hut people are assuring the concerned mom. They have a job waiting for Deacon. And not just a job, they say in an open letter to the child made public by Extra. But an entire career.

Several Years to Go Yet
"Dear Deacon," writes Sandi Karrmann, identified as the "Chief People Officer" for the pizza chain, "We recently heard that you want to be a pizza delivery driver when you grow up. How wonderful! You've got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we're sending you a few things, so that you can practice."

The company's gifts to the boy include a Pizza Hut uniform "that's just your size," writes Karrmann, who also sent a mini-delivery car "for you to polish your driving skills," as well as gift cards for Pizza Hut pizzas.

Also included: encouragement. "We have delivery drivers who have worked for us for 10, 15, even 20 years!" says the letter. "And the same Pizza Hut drivers who deliver hot, fresh pizzas right to your door have gone on to become successful business, doctors, lawyers and, yes, actors."

In closing, Karrmann advises, "Deacon, keep on dreaming big and know that we're saving a spot for you on our team."

As for Witherspoon and Phillippe's other child, 8-year-old Ava, her mother is quoted in the Express as saying, "My daughter wants to be a scientist, but they are both at the stage where it changes from one week to the next. 
Neither has said they want to be actors, but you never know."

Ryan Phillippe: I Would Wake Up and Cry and Vomit



Ryan Phillipe and his children — Ava, 8, and pizza delivery boy Deacon, 4 — arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles Monday evening after a trip to Philadelphia.

The father-of-two recently sat down for an interview with new magazine Man About Town. Here are some interview snippets:

On being a mess after his divorce from Reese Witherspoon: “After the divorce I was a physical wreck. I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.”

On using his past experiences to now cry on demand: “Now, it’s f–king easy. When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”

On why you won’t see him doing any endorsement deals in the near future: “If I see actors doing commercials, such as Catherine Zeta-Jones in the T-Mobile ads now, when I see her in a movie, it’s hard to disassociate the two.”

On Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John, who once took him out for tea: “I was sitting there looking at them interact, and I’m thinking, These people have raised millions of dollars to save people. The potential power of celebrity is astounding.”

Be sure to check out the photo spread of Ryan Phillippe in Man About Town.

Ryan miserable without Reese

Despite rumors of an adulterous fling with Australian actress Abbie Cornish, Ryan Phillippe claims his 2006 split from Reese Witherspoon nearly destroyed him.

“After the divorce, I was a physical wreck,” Ryan recently told U.K. magazine Man About Town. In a portion of the interview posted on the US Weekly Web site, the actor confessed, “I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit.”

On the upside, Ryan found that the harrowing end of his 7-year marriage (which produced two children) improved his acting. “When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about,” Ryan said. “But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”

Look for Ryan’s finely honed acting abilities in March, when he stars with the above-mentioned Abbie in the film “Stop Loss.”

Lovers? Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish at a friends house in Beverly Hills Yesterday

Abbie the Ava:

http://www.flynetonline.com/2007/12/mini-r...bbie-go-shoppi/

(I can't seem to post pics properly).

Is it me or does Abbie look like ScarJo? Ava looks like her mother.

I actually think Abbie looks a bit like Reese too!

I can't believe how much the little girl looks just like her mother.

Abbie does look similar to Reese but younger and...softer.

Nice to see that Ryan isn't alone and miserable as the tabloids would depict him while Jeese are violently in love and the personification of all that is wonderfully romantic and hetero in the PR world.

Seeing these pics, Gyllenspoon suddenly made so much more sense. Revenge "happiness" is so Reese's style. And I'm sure she wanted to have the groundwork publically laid before Ryan and Abbie became public knowledge. Very "I moved on first, so there!"

I actually do like Reese, I just definitely think appearances mean a lot to her, and there's no way she wants to be Jennifer Aniston, getting dozens of "How is Reese Coping?" covers.

Abbie needs to hem her pants. What a slob.

Ava is a carbon copy of Reese.

Well...maybe they are balancing each other. Because it appears that little Ava preparing for a flood...her pants are kinda high. And she does look like Reese...so she probably needs to wear that hair down in front of that forehead. I wonder how Reese feels about these photos of the other woman with the kid.

I like how Ava is color coordinated. Even her cute kerchief matches the wreath and her clothes.

When you go on a PR 'love' tour, you lose the right to state what your ex should be doing in his love life.

Though Jeese should try studying these pictures. That's what real chemistry looks like.

It's official: Cornish is Ryan Phillippe's dear Abbie

She's not the other woman anymore!

Ryan Phillippe and Australian actress Abbie Cornish are ready to let the world know they're a couple.

A fling during filming of their movie "Stop Loss" - which Cornish denied at the time - was widely credited with ending his seven-year marriage to Reese Witherspoon.

But pictures snapped last week at a friend's house in Beverly Hills (and published in Thursday's print edition of the Daily News) show the two are definitely joined at the hip.

"They are a real couple," a source close to the pair tells Gatecrasher. "[The relationship] has really grown. She's spending time with his kids [Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4] - it's not like she's on the side. She's part of the family."

The toothsome twosome were spotted getting Starbucks coffee together and driving on the Pacific Coast Highway on Friday before Phillippe picked up the kids from school. And on Sunday, the four of them went shopping for Christmas decorations.

"Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie," a witness told Us Weekly. "Ava picked a wreath, and Abbie put it around her head as a joke. They both were laughing."

Another source tells us: "Going out together and leaking a few photos is their discreet way of letting the public know it's official. It's not like you can send out a press release about these things.

KEEP THOSE STARS SEPARATE

RED-carpet strategies are being devised for "Stop-Loss," the war drama being released March 28 starring Ryan Phillippe and Aussie beauty Abbie Cornish. Rumors of romance between the co-stars swirled in the fall of 2006, when Phillippe split from Oscar-winning sweetheart Reese Witherspoon. Cornish was blamed for coming between the golden couple, which has two children together. Phillippe and Cornish hid from the press at the time of the high-profile Hollywood breakup, with Cornish skipping some red-carpet interviews for her 2006 release, "Candy." Now, according to an insider, "Stop-Loss" distributor Paramount is hatching plans so promotional appearances focus on the movie and not on Phillippe's cheating or Cornish's home wrecking. "Ryan and Abbie are definitely together," a source said, "but they don't want to have a big show walking down the carpet together." A different LA source claims neither star cares about the promotional strategy. Reps for Phillippe, Cornish and Paramount could not be reached.

Sexy Celebs Not Selling Movie Tickets
AOL

(Feb. 4) -- It wasn't long ago that an actress or actor with major sex appeal was enough to guarantee a decent turnout at the box office.

Those days, it seems, are over. Whether it's Eva Longoria, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba or even their male counterparts like Ryan Phillippe, movie fans just arent dishing out cash to see bodies on the big screen.

This past weekend, Alba's 'The Eye' took in just $13 million, which, depending how you look at it, is either good or bad. It could be viewed as good, being that it came in second place and already made more than Alba's last movie ('Awake'), but on the negative side, $13M is quite low for a debut with an A-lister like Alba.

Eva Longoria has seen television success, but that didn't add up to big screen bounty. Longoria's movie debut in 'Over Her Dead Body' finished in 11th place in its opening week, making less than $5M.

It's an epidemic that's been hitting Hollywood hard lately. Lindsay Lohan is no longer a sure bet, as her 'I Know Who Killed Me' bombed in box offices around the country. Even Hollywood's hunky men aren't pulling like they used to, with Orlando Bloom, Ryan Phillippe and others all seeing less-than-stellar returns in theaters lately.

Ryan Phillippe thinks he understands our interest in his 2006 breakup with Reese Witherspoon. At least, that's what he says in the new issue of W.

"People want answers," he says of his divorce. "But I think sometimes they wouldn’t be happy with what the answers would be." The split, he goes on to say, was “as typical as any relationship that doesn’t work. It’s far more complicated and far less interesting than it’s made out to be."

Oh, Ryan, you underestimate our fascination with the mundane details of celebrity living. If you got divorced for not taking out the trash, we wanna know about it.

Plus, your reluctance to go into detail makes us question your defense of the so-called other woman, Abbie Cornish:

It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn’t about that. I don’t think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. I had difficulties in my relationship, and in my marriage, long before I ever met her.

See, that wasn't too tough to explain, was it?

So, how about telling us whether the two of you are currently dating?

She and I are close friends, and as far as if there is any future, that is not where we are at now...That is what other people like to say or like to assume. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a friendship, and we are getting to know each other in a really difficult situation.

We're going to take that as a yes. Unless you wanna call and tell us otherwise?

Ryan Phillippe Wears a Barack Obama Shirt
Friday February 22, 2008

Ryan Phillippe has made up his mind: he's supporting Barack Obama for president.

The 33-year-old actor wore a t-shirt with an image of Obama and the word "progress" on it in L.A. Thursday.

Phillippe's ex-wife Reese Witherspoon has previously spoken about her enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton.

"Hillary Clinton being a frontrunner is a marked step for women in this country, and one which I talk about with my daughter frequently," she has said. "It's an exciting time and an exciting presidential race I think. There's a lot of interesting candidates who could possible change the course of American history."

Ryan Phillippe Actually Smiles Now



Aww, now that's a sweet face. Ryan Phillippe is riding high during the promotion of his latest film, "Stop Loss," seeming worlds away from the dark days of when he was going through his divorce from Reese Witherspoon. Now, he's looking pretty and wearing a smile on his face here at MuchMusic with his "Stop Loss" co-star Victor Rasuk.

The shift from sulky Ryan to the Zen-looking actor we see before is a process that took years. Remember how surly he always looked at press events or red-carpet photo-ops? It looks like he's done with all that mess. In the spirit of starting new relationships, he's also changed representation, leaving UTA for Endeavor. I almost feel like in his head, he's singing, "A whole new wooooooorld..."

Ryan Phillippe Doesn't Need Fancy Shopping With Jake Gyllenhaal To Make Him Happy



Ryan Phillipe might be my favorite celebrity Dad. He's always taking his kids places. A lot of Dads would be like, I'm trying to read this script, shuddup! Here's Ryan with kids Ava and Deacon at Big Bear in California. Ryan looks all wistful like, this is what life's all about. Watching my kids playing with rocks on a nice day. His ex-wife's running around NYC, dressed in black and looking all subservient to Jake Gyllenhaal but he likes the simpler things.

Ryan Takes His Little Bears to Big Bear


While Reese hopped from LA to NYC with Jake, Ryan Phillippe spent his weekend with the kids playing in the mountains at Big Bear in California. I know, I know needless to say, but how adorable are Deacon and Ava? — love them. The trio played around in the snow and climbed on the rocks while Ryan snapped photos with his iPhone. With Stop Loss just a few weeks away, we should be seeing a lot of Ryan (and, um, Abbie) on the red carpet together. Even if that reminds us of things we don't love about Ryan, anytime he's back with the kids totally makes up for it.

Okay, I hate Reese and Ryan can be a whiny little bitch but the tabs are being unfair. He's a good father, always has been. While he has the kids, she can go do photo-ops in NYC with Jakey or whatever the fuck else she wants to do. She's hardly Nicole Richie and he's hardly.... I can't think of a really absent father because people pay less attention to absent fathering but I know he's out there being absent somewhere.

PR manipulations aside, Witherspoon and Phillippe have been consistently hands-on parents.

Ever notice how happy and relaxed his daughter is with him and how tense she is with her mother?

Yup. I wonder if this is because of Reese as a mother or because of Reese as the celebrity, meaning her being tense or pretending to be tense around paps, which would cause her children to be nervous when they're out with her in public.
