Reese Witherspoon On Kids, Jake, And Working With Vince Vaughn

The lovely Reese Witherspoon graces the cover of November's Vogue. Along with a series of pictures taken by Mario Testino of the divorced-mother-of two in Paris was a long interview. Witherspoon is currently dating Jake Gyllenhaal.

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:
On Jake: "He's very supportive. Suffice it to say, I'm very happy in life, and I'm very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that's all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way."

On traveling with her children: "I'm very lucky I get to bring my children to great places and they get to see the world with me, and we get to grow and learn and experience things together."

On life: "Every once in a while you're hit with moments when you think, really? This is my life. How lucky am I?

On making Four Christmases: "There are so many dynamics that people deal with all the time, and you don't really see it in movies very much. You don't see the blended-family Christmas very much. And it really is a complication in a lot of people's lives now. How do you see your mother and your father and not hurt anyone's feelings? You know, I didn't grow up like that. I mean, my parents are still married, and my grandparents stayed married, but it's a situation my own children will have to deal with, so it was of interest to me."

On working with Vince Vaughn in Four Christmases:"Vince is the funniest person I've ever worked with in my entire life," she says. "There were days when we were shooting things, I would laugh so hard it would ruin the take, and I was afraid I was going to pee on myself, it was so funny."

On playing a superhero in Monsters vs. Aliens: "I have a history, a long history of being stereotyped as a five-foot-two woman, which is very limiting. I've worked so hard to create characters that have dignity, and I think everybody knows that I have a very pro-woman message in my work -- and in my life."

Reese is a class act, all the way. I've been observing her career for years. She is a consummate artist with great integrity and she balances it all as a committed mother. Not everyone has the talent and skill to do all of that. She is a rare person indeed.

[Stravinsky]

She dates all the cutest boys.

Let's hate her.

[coffee36]

Love Reese Witherspoon. I think she's one of the few "real" people in Hollywood.

[marleysghost]

Reese Witherspoon is wonderfully funny and lovely as well.

[bryand1]

Reese is a remarkably talented actress and is one of those rare actresses who really is a great role model. She's a class act from what I can see...

[Melissa]

She is beautful, classy and talented. Not your typical Hollywood bimbo.

[GreenSpot]

Reese Witherspoon is just another fake Hollywood product.

There is nothing real about her, it's all PR, including her paparazzi and tabloid manufactured "relationship" with Jake Gyllenhaal.

PR and image is everything in Hollywood and Reese Witherspoon is shamelessly using and abusing PR .

[BandsofBlack]

I'm just curious... Why do you think someone would have to manufacture a relationship with anyone else these days?

It seems like an awful lot of work, time and effort to go to for... what exactly?

This "enquiring mind" wants to know...

[jerrycurls]

Greenspot thinks it's 1955 and Hollywood is filled with Rock Hudson's. Greenspot has reality issues to overcome himself. He's only embarrassing himself at this point, but whatever.

His opinion is so old and boring now. Someone should tell Greenspot that it's not 2006 anymore.

[Clare53]

GreenSpot - how do you know this stuff?

[Mattie]

she is a class act, and deserves her success and happiness! She earned it by hard work, no reality show for her.
