Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe split

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated after seven years of marriage and two children. In a statement issued today their publicist says:

“We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.”

Reese initiated the split, though sources say it wasn’t triggered by a single event but rather it was “cumulative.” Which is a nice way of saying Ryan Phillippe’s been a jerk for years. Plus I bet he can’t benchpress an elephant or defeat ninjas in hand to hand combat. So pretty much I win at everything.

    This was one Hollywood couple that I thought would make it. They have the cutest kids.

    Wonder who cheated?

    Too bad. I always thought they made a good, down-to-earth couple. But I can’t really say that I didn’t see this coming.

    I knew they were in counseling together, but I figured they would work things out. They seem like solid people, so it is sad to see.

    Let’s just do a quick reality check:

    He’s a gay.

    She’s a washed-up, has-been that popped out a few puppies.

    My friend runs a club in D.C. and Ryan was there one night a few months ago. They hung out late night going to a few different after hour clubs. They were doing coke through out the night. I guess what I’m trying to say is that he is a head and he most likely likes to suck on them too………..

    I’m being serious about that night…….

    #21 Just trying to make sure I got my reality check right.

    He’s “a gay”, is he?

    Is being a gay like being a different species of some sort, or maybe like being a complete idiot?

    I don’t know… Personally I just hate the two of them. They make me feel sick and want to turn off my television and give it up to some jerk. And then go to Hollywood and commit a sepukku hurting them! Oh…

  35. HELLpenis | October 31, 2006 at 5:14 am

    That’s weird. For some reason, I always kinda thought they’d be together forever. Not that I gave it much thought.

    He’s hot when he shaves. He looks like he has shit smeared on his face in that pic. He shouldn’t try to grow a beard.

    andrew-film, seppuku is suicide. Although it is probably a good idea in your case, it wouldn’t do anything to the celebs in question.

    I offer 2 limericks:

    THere once was a chick named Reese
    Who’s marriage came to a cease
    She came to my pad
    Looking awfully sad
    Until I ravaged her crease.

    Her crease was ravaged with great force
    My giant cock was the pounding source
    I quickened the pace
    Shot my load on her face
    and made her forget the divorce.

    I’m here for you Reese.

    see…the republicans were right…same sex marriages don’t work.

    at least they’re both still young and pretty enough to find happiness again…

    i’d still hit that…

    I know a chic who doubled for Reese in some of her movies like that one she was in with Mark Wahlberg (lucky whore) Anyway, apparently Reese is an enormous bitch on set, she is a snob and no one liked her. At least that is what this chic said.

    And I have never, ever found this guy hot, he is TOO gay and snobbish and just to high on himself and coke apparently Stallion informs us #26

    It goes a little something like this:

    Ryan is a punk ass.

    Reese is a sweet southern girl who works very hard at everything and is a self-proclaimed Type A personality.

    Reese has been holding this thing together for years just for her kids. Yeah, Ryan was sexy for a minute but he’s such a dick.

    She can do better. He will be banging Paris Hilton before Christmas.

    47-And then we can watch Paris get her ass handed to her by Reese. Paris has a way of fucking a divorced guy and then the wife trounces her for it (Shannen Doherty, Shana Moakler…)

    Don’t count Ryan out just yet. I’ll bet he gets an Oscar nod for “Flags”.

    Paris can fuck my ex-husband all she wants, maybe he’ll catch something retched and die.

    #31/#32 – Surely that is not the first time the two of you have heard the expression “You are the gay” (or as it appears on the web ‘You Are Teh Gay’)

    How sad it must be for the two of you to be The Gay AND be completely outside the loop of gay society.
