Reese Witherspoon is the cover girl for the November 2009 issue of InStyle magazine. Reese has always been one of my favorite celeb moms. In the interview with the magazine she talks about Jake Gyllenhaal, divorce and her time off. Here are the highlights.
On spending time with Jake: “Jake is a great cook, he does a lot. We spend the weekends outside of LA, where I have a farmhouse. We have chickens & we grow cucumbers & tomatoes. It reminds me of where I grew up in Tennessee.â€
On divorce: “You reconsider certain things, but you just have to keep going, You have to keep it together for your kids and yourself too. I’m trying to learn from the things that have happened in my life, live more in the moment, and have more fun.
On her time off: “I try to exercise every day. I like to run for about an hour, and I’m big into working out with girlfriends.â€
Jake can cook? I can only imagine how cool that would be.

I am a huge fan of Alex O’Loughlin. Yes, I have him on my Twitter background even. But after this interview that was done with him, I can’t resist him any longer. I didn’t even know that was possible since I was already such a huge fan of his. So here is the 10 things that make me want Alex even more.
1. He plays guitar. “It’s a hobby for me, but I’m never alone if there’s a guitar there.”
2. He can fish (and more). “I’m a fisherman. I’ve always loved fishing. I grew up fishing for trout. I’m not the best fly fisherman, but I can fly-fish, because I crack a whip. I learned to crack a whip as a boy, out on the properties. I have skills, mad skills. Also I’ve been ocean fishing and river fishing.”
3. He could try to fix your toilet. “I worked for a plumber for three months or something, when I was in the tortured teenage years, as a part-time job. It was s***, pardon the pun. It was the worst job ever, so disgusting.”
4. He can now tie surgical knots. “I can actually do the knots. Gonzo (Dr. Gonzalo ‘Gonzo’ Gonzalez-Stawinski, the surgeon who inspired O’Loughlin’s ‘Three Rivers’ character, Dr. Andy Jablosnki) showed me. I’m quite proficient with that, because I’m used to working with fishing line.”
5. He can save you from a raging inferno. “I put a bush fire out. I had to fight a bush fire when I was the property. It was one of the most incredible things, terrifying. We get them a lot in Australia.”
6. He plays sports. “Carol (series creator Carol Barbee) called me and said, ‘What sport does Andy play?’ I said, ‘Rugby.’ Rugby union is a more sophisticated game and a more civilized game. They call union the ‘Lords’ Game.’ League is rougher. I never played in union. I also play a game called Aussie Rules (Football). It’s a great game.
“You don’t have to punch each other in the face anymore. It’s all changed. It was part of the game. As boys, it’s important to get punched and hit. Now you get severe penalties, and they bench you for six weeks. We called it ‘getting to know each other.’”
7. He had troubles as a child. “I had a bit of OCD as a kid, quite a bit, actually. I wouldn’t step on a crack. It would take me an hour to get my shoes tied, because I had this weird OCD thing.”
8. You want him to make you his special meatballs. “Lots of fresh garlic, but — it makes a difference — the way you cut the garlic and the onion, the kind of onion you use. If it’s just for me, I use lean beef. If it’s for other people, I’ll use Wagyu or Kobe.”
9. He had interesting taste in TV as a kid. “‘A-Team,’ hell, yeah, man – Murdock, Hannibal. Those were my favorite shows, ‘The A-Team’ and ‘Monkey Magic,’ which I bet none of you knows about. It was about these mythical characters: one was a monkey; one was a pig; one was a fish; one was a Buddha. They would travel over the countryside. They’re all kung-fu masters. It’s the great show.”
10. And, yes, he can sing the “Monkey Magic” theme, and there’s a dance to go with it. But he’s not sure what he’d think of the show as an adult. “It’s probably s***. I haven’t watched it in years. Now I’d watch it and go, ‘It’s terrible.’ But I thought it was the greatest thing.”
I love guitarists. And I can make Alex all the meatballs he wants.

I wonder if Peter Facinelli is really handing out butt kickings? I will volunteer first please! I guess he is because of a story that was published about his wife, Jennie Garth, being mad that he doesn’t cook for her.
Peter wrote an email to clear up the situation that Mark Malkin started:
“Lets not try to make a ‘meal’ out of this. My wife was joking. The reason I stopped cooking so much is because she’s better at it. And most nights I take her out to eat anyway. She’s not ‘pissed off.’ So lets not try to stir up some controversy where it doesn’t exist.”
Just the other night though Peter said he wanted to kick Mark’s butt…
“Tell Marc I’m going to kick his ass. Tell him if I see him, I’m going to kick his ass.”
I guess they have kissed and made up now. Mark will be having dinner at Peter’s house in no time. (Peter, I want to have supper at your house too!)

Peter Facinelli is quickly becoming one of my favorite New Moon characters, how can I tell? I can finally spell his last name without thinking. But how could you forget how to spell someone as adorable as Peter’s last name? I just don’t get it.
Peter is married to the luckiest girl in the whole world, Jennie Garth. Jennie said that she learnt that Peter cooked a pasta dinner for the cast of New Moon when they reunited for the filming. Jennie said this about the whole situation.
“I am pissed off, because he doesn’t make me pasta dinners. I don’t know when was the last time the man cooked for me!”
Sigh, the man. I would just love to be able to call him the man! Jennie I’m sure he’ll make it up to you in other ways. Afterall, you do have three children and a very hot husband…just saying…
