Reese Witherspoon had to work on her 33rd birthday on Sunday – but she got a star-studded surprise all the same.

Witherspoon arrived the Los Angeles premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens – in a shimmering, super-short dress by Rodarte – and had just made her way into the Gibson Amphitheater when she and her co-stars were called to the stage by DreamWorks studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg.

After Seth Rogen, Kiefer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Paul Rudd, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler gathered onstage with Witherspoon, Wilson announced that the group was about to stage an "intervention" for the Oscar-winning actress.

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."

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.

Reese Witherspoon Wary of Marrying Again

Reese Witherspoon, still recovering from her split from Ryan Phillippe, says it's too soon to think about remarrying.

"There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce," the mother-of-two tells Parade magazine. "Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy."

Yet the 32-year-old actress says instead of finding fault, she focuses on moving forward.

"When you make wrong choices, you have to take responsibility for them: 'What part of this do I own?'" she says. "I struggle to figure out what made me make those choices. All I can hope for is that I've learned something from it and won't make the same choices again."
