by Adelina Brown

To my wonderful, sweet mother for her birthday! The epitome of Southern grace & charm!!! I love you with all my ? and lots of ???#BigDayTomorrow

That’s how Reese Witherspoon captioned the pic she’s recently posted on Instagram for her mother’s birthday. Showing her love for her nearest and dearest by means of social media is not uncommon for the 39-year old actress, but this selfie is truly outstanding, as both Reese and Mommy Betty are looking great and really happy together.

Seeing the two of them made us realize that Southern beauty may be a thing after all. If it weren’t for the caption telling us that Betty there is Reese’s mom, we might actually have believed they were just sisters! They both have the looks, the attitude and above all, a Southern something that you can’t ignore.

Anyway, it looks like the women in these family do possess some really hardcore genes. If you thought Reese looked a lot like her mum, the resemblance between the Hot Pursuit star and Ava Phillippe, her 15-year old daughter is bound to seem a little uncanny, to say the least. Here’s a selfie of the newest ‘twins’ in town:

The reason why these powerful ladies look so very much alike might be the fact that their family is as close-knit as it can get. The Oscar-winning actress has told the media time and time again that family has always been the most important thing in her life. She’s Southern and proud and says she owes them everything she’s achieved so far. Take a look at what she’s shared with the guys at Southern Living:

There are some sacrifices you make, and it hurts your heart sometimes, but my kids tell me they’re proud of what I’ve accomplished, and that just means everything. I grew up with a working mom, and I have so much respect for the things she did as a nurse and a teacher. I would never begrudge her that.

Bear in mind, though, that being one of coolest people in Nashville is not all our beloved Legally Blonde does. For instance, right now, she’s raising money for these sweet little girls, who are in desperate need of our help:

happy bday

Lots of love, Reese, and never stop being awesome!

14 On Screen Couples Who Hate Each Other Off Screen!

by Brianna Ashton

Just because a couple is in love in a movie doesn’t mean they have the same feelings in real life. Let’s take a look at these actors who are so good at their job, they managed to hide all that pain and hostility of working together. We always knew not to believe anything in Hollywood and here is why: Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey Our all time favorite movie, Dirty Dancing, portrayed a special love between two different kinds of people. But according to Swayze, Jennifer Grey was quite moody and emotional throughout the filming. Even Grey had some hard feelings for Patrick, saying she couldn’t stand Patrick Swayze while filming Red Dawn. Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray made a popular pair on the One Tree Hill series that went on...

Kardashians Continue to Cannibalize Lamar Odom for Money and Fame

by Brianna Ashton

The Kardashians are keeping busy as they promote Khloe Kardashian’s new show. Khloe’s press tour continues to include gossip bombs. Now she claims to have “finally” told Lamar Odom he almost died. Really? Like what did he think happened? He’s been in intensive care, critical condition, two hospitals and a rehab center. I hope it already occurred to him that he almost died. Khloe also claims she has shielded him from social media and the internet during his recovery. She told Howard Stern she walked in on Lamar googling himself and the words “overdose.” She then took away his computer. Okay, but does any of this make any sense? It’s not like shielding himself from the truth will aid in his recovery. Of course the one thing it will certainly do is avoid having Lamar...

Johnny Manziel, Kourtney Kardashian and Mark Salling Talking About Haters, Mermaids and Vengeful Girlfriends

by Brianna Ashton

“Haters” Chronic liar and party boy (and part-time quarterback) Johnny Manziel is back in hot water. The Browns quarterback, who is known for partying and spent 77 days in rehab last March and April, is currently AWOL after failing to show up for his team meetings on Sunday. Four weeks ago Manziel was benched after telling the team he was staying home in Cleveland and then jetting off to Texas to party. Manziel then lied to the Browns’ staff, encouraging his friends and sycophants to also make up some lies to cover him. The team benched Manziel for a few games. Fast forward to Christmas Eve, when Johnny posted a video on social media of himself drinking and rapping like a 16 year old in mom’s basement.  The video of the Bieber-wannabe violated the coach’s warning not to...

Jenny McCarthy and Tara Reid Got Into a Catfight on Live Radio

by Erin Gillespie

You guys, I’m just going to leave this here. As much as it pains me to write a headline about two women getting into a “catfight”, that’s pretty much exactly what happened here. First of all, yes, that person on the left is actually Jenny McCarthy. I know, I didn’t recognise her either. She looks good, but doesn’t look like Jenny McCarthy. She looks kind of like your average hollywood blonde trying to look like Charlize Theron or something…but I digress. Apparently Jenny McCarthy has a radio show on Siruis XM, which I didnt know until right this very moment, but there you go. I’ve always liked Jenny McCarthy (despite her anti-science, anti-vaccine stance), and I don’t really have an opinion on Tara Reid other than she should definitely sue...

Celebrities Who Get Paid to Do Nothing: How It All Works

by Erin Gillespie

In any discussion you have about modern celebrities who are essentially famous for doing nothing, you cannot get away without mentioning Paris Hilton. Hilton was really the one who started it all, and this week, GQ magazine paid homage to this dubious achievement in a really interesting piece about modern celebrity culture and “appearance fees”. While we all know that celebrities get paid to school for certain products and have endorsement deals and whatnot, I never truly realized the kind of money that is changing-hands to lure these celebs into the commercial fold. It’s really and truly obscene. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Here’s what GQ had to say about that I’m dubbing the “Paris Effect”. Hilton, the one who made it possible to be...

Amy Adams is One of the Nicest People That Everyone Keeps Being Mean To

by Erin Gillespie

  Not that this should come as a complete surprise to anyone who follows the goings-on in Hollywood, but apparently director David O. Russell (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook) is a bit ol’ meanie, and his wrath was once turned on Amy Adams. In a recent interview with GQ magazine, A-lister Adams opened-up about the (apparently great) amount of difficulty she had working with the director on the set of American Hustle. Russell is notoriously hard on his actors, which some believe drives them to give the stunning performances that many of his films are known for. However, not everyone responds to his particular brand of tough love. When asked by GQ if the rumors that she cried every day on set were true, this is how Adams responded. I was really just devastated on set. I mean...

Khloe’s Throwing Lamar Under the Plus…RIP Alan Rickman

by Brianna Ashton

Khloe Throws Lamar Under the Bus With a show to promote and a damaged marriage, Khloe Kardashian went on the Howard Stern show on Wednesday and spilled all the details about her marriage to Lamar. She says he cheated on her relentlessly. Lamar used his assistant to facilitate the cheating. “Lamar was so great at making me feel like I was the only one and I was this princess, I never speculated cheating,” Khloe said. “He was so good [at hiding it]. Nothing was on his cell phones, [but] he had an assistant. They were all on his assistant’s phone, so he was really crafty.” Needless to say, Khloe was furious at the assistant in addition to her husband. “It’s disgusting and I was pissed at the assistant,” she says. “All these rumors kept coming out in the weeklies, and as...

Courtney Cox Gets Real About Her Plastic Surgery

by Jason Croteau

A few days ago, the new season of Running Wild with Bear Grylls started, and perhaps rather unexpectedly, Courtney Cox was his guest. If you’re unfamiliar with Bear Grylls and his show, he is an ex-special forces survivalist who puts famous people through their paces by taking them into extreme environments and showing them exactly what it takes to survive in the wild. To say that they show is a popular one would be an understatement; last season, he even cooked and ate a wild salmon with none other than POTUS himself, Barack Obama! That said, I’ve never really thought of Courtney Cox as the outdoorsy type, but yet here she is, heading-up the premiere of the new season, clad in her GoreTex outdoor gear, supposedly ready for action. The premiere took place off of the cliffs of...
