Reese ain't ready to pop yet, but her thread was. Continue here....

Congrats to her and her hubby!

It's kinda interesting that someone who seems to hate the paparazzi as much as Reese (hasn't she called the cops on them for photographing her kids and blocking her driveway?) would announce her pregnancy with a cover story. I imagine it's hard to keep your personal life private when your husband is part of the team managing your career and making sure you're in movies and on magazine covers.

And it's funny how the Us Weekly story insisted she wouldn't be making a public statement about the pregnancy and the next minute People has a story quoting "sources" about the pregnancy. Again today People has another story all about how Reese is preparing the kids for the baby. I think we'll be getting almost as much information on her pregnancy as we have Jessica Simpson's. After all babies always sell and the last time Reese was pregnant she wasn't as famous she is now and there wasn't the media obsession with celebrity pregnancies.

The cynic in me is surprised it wasnt timed better to coincide with the release of This Means War.

Maybe it would have been if she hadn't been hit by that car? /cynic

Seriously though, that's wonderful news for Reese and her new hubby. Granted all I have to judge are paparazzi pics, but it's always seemed like she's Jennifer Garner's biggest competition when it comes to Best Hollywood Mom.

I kinda wondered about that, too. /bigger cynic

This is a looooooonng blind item from CDAN, but Reese is hands-down the most popular guess for it.

This actress is A list through and through. She has achieved about the most success an actress can receive. Money, fame and awards. She wanted to be the world's sweetheart, but if they knew how she got to her lofty position they would be rethinking their judgment.

When Backstabber came to Hollywood she thought she was hot and that she could make it on her looks. Back home she was always the prettiest and she figured she would be here too. Nope. Not even close. She was smart enough to figure that out and also learned about the casting couch really quickly. Her first roles were secured via the casting couch and also led her to do some things she has never done since on film. It is true that she has attempted to buy some of those earlier films and then make sure no new copies are ever released.

In one of her casting couch experiences she met a mentor who has guided her almost every step of the way. Although they stopped sleeping together after six months when Backstabber threatened to tell his wife, they have been good friends ever since and Backstabber makes sure to send over some young actresses she runs into looking for a break to his office to keep him happy.

It came to Backstabber's attention that there was a role which would be perfect for her but the lead had been promised to someone else. Another actress who had very similar qualities and beat out Backstabber for a career defining role and made her white hot. Destined for A list (and still with great name recognition, but not Crash & Burn from yesterday), she made a few more movies and now has one bomb after another on television and in movies. Backstabber started whispering in ears that this actress had a drug problem and could not be relied on. She told everyone she could about the drugs and booze and erratic behavior. None of it was true, but what was a shoo in for the actress and her spot as the actress to watch disappeared in a flash and went to Backstabber.

This is where it gets interesting. On the set, Backstabber met her soon to be husband, but he was already having sex with two of the other still B list co-stars and would have laughed if you told him what Backstabber had in mind. Aside from the casting couch, Backstabber was not and is not a sexual person. She does it out of duty. For this guy though, she knew that would not work. She seduced and teased and the next thing you know, the guy had left the other two co-stars in the dust and was on his knee in a second trying to marry Backstabber. To be the world's sweetheart you needed a husband. Mission accomplished. The only misfire Backstabber had was that her husband would chat in a second and with Backstabber only having sex with him once a month at the most, he would go wandering and straying. She did not mind when he was quiet about it, but after she paid for the third abortion for him, he was out the door.

While they were married, Backstabber continued to climb the Hollywood ladder. Drug accusations here, sending over some of her "friends" from back home to spend the night with a studio executive. To get the ultimate prize, she actually did have sex with a few people who could make or break things for her. She has no actress friends left in Hollywood because she has talked smack about everyone of them. She works for charities but only because it is expected. She has said privately that she keeps every penny she has ever made and that she is not going to give her money to a bunch of broke people or the N word on the street. Oh yeah, she is racist. Probably more so than anyone at a KKK rally. Movies with black people? Not if she can help it. Earlier in her career she could not control it. Now? Casting approval. No black people. Other minorities? No thank you. If she sees you drinking she will try and have you fired. Swearing? She better not hear you. Yeah, so it was a real treat when she had to work with a guy who dropped F bombs every five seconds and had a string of hookers and booze in his trailer the whole shoot. You can see her grimacing the entire movie.

Reese made her first movie at age 14 and has worked steadily ever since. She hardly needed the casting couch. Plus, CDAN is full of shit as a general rule.

Even if the BI is exagerated some of those things ring true about her. I've never gotten a warm vibe from Reese and it's not the "she's shy and awkward but deep down nice" but more like "she's got something up her ass and is making a great effort to look nice". Ever since she started associating herself with Gwyneth, Chelsea Handler and their clique I've been giving her the side eye. I checked IMDB for proof that she doesn't do any movies with black people because that's a far nastier allegation than backstabbing and using the casting couch, and of course there are black actors in the cast of her movies but more like 3-4th tier in importance. The last movie where a black actress was featured in a truly supporting role was Legaly Blonde 2 and the actress was Regina King. I'll chalk it up to coincidence and producers not making that many roles available to minorities because even if I don't like her all that much anymore, I hope that's not true. Gwyneth would not approve!

She sold or made available the pics of her wedding to People last year. I think she is far too ambitious and wants to keep her spot as a A list actress to care about privacy anymore.

I agree. How she became an America's Sweetheart is a mystery to me.
