Reese Calls Divorce Humiliating and Isolating
Originally posted 03/04/2009 02:20PM
At Reese Witherspoon's low point after her very public divorce from Ryan Phillippe, the actress found some efforts to console her far from helpful.
"When people get in your face and say, 'This will pass,' you think: Are they crazy?" Witherspooon, 32, tells the April issue of Elle. "I'm never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing's ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I'm like, 'Nothing's ever gonna make sense again.' "
But while she calls the split in 2006 "very humiliating and very isolating," Witherspoon came to realize, "If it's not painful, maybe it wasn't the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions."

Jim Carrey already knows what it's like to play God – so now he's getting ready to play the Devil himself.
The Bruce Almighty star is teaming up with Jake Gyllenhaal for a movie version of the Tony-winning musical, Damn Yankees, according to Playbill.
In the film, which will be a more modern take on the '50s classic, Gyllenhaal will portray Joe Boyd, a Yankees fan so desperate to see his baseball team win that he sells his soul to Satan to help the Bronx Bombers take the pennant.

Santa must've brought someone new sneakers this Christmas!
Just after the holiday, Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were geared up and power walking the hills in Ojai, near Witherspoon's farm getaway.
The couple's surprise dates? Gyllenhaal's Zodiac costar Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan.
"It was cute, they were all wearing hiking gear," says a source, "They seemed really relaxed. There were no kids around and they seemed like they were having a great time."
Not to fear, the couple brought Jake's dog and also squeezed in time to engage in another trademark routine: grabbing a morning cup of coffee together.

Naomi Foner – the mother of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal – has filed for divorce from their father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, Los Angeles court papers show.
Married for 30 years, Foner – a Golden-Globe winning screenwriter with credits including Running on Empty and Losing Isaiah – cites irreconcilable differences. She says the couple has been separated since Jan. 1.
Foner isn't seeking spousal support, and she also asks the court to deny Gyllenhaal – a film director – any support.
The papers were filed Wednesday.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have taken their romance overseas: The couple were spotted stepping out together in Morocco over the weekend.
On Saturday, the pair strolled hand-in-hand, checking out bazaar stalls before stepping into the shade for lunch in Marrakech, according to French Web site purepeople.com.
