Let's find out, shall we? Why, how convenient - here's a blow by blow description of a date Reese Witherspoon had just last night with a handsome CAA agent! Let's read all about it, courtesy of People magazine: After greeting each other with a hug and settling into a
corner table, the pair "were very flirtatious throughout dinner," says a fellow
diner. "They were having a lot of fun, totally getting along and laughing and
talking the whole dinner. Reese seemed very happy. She was smiling all dinner.
The mood was upbeat and really good."
Mom to Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6, Witherspoon quietly split
from actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 29, last December.
After the nearly two-hour meal - for which Toth picked up
the tab - the couple walked outside and parted ways around 11 p.m. "Reese
reached around his neck and pulled him close for a hug," says the onlooker.
"They kissed bye on the cheek - but it was a very friendly goodbye."
Witherspoon is a CAA client, and a source close to the
actress maintains the night out was just business. But a friend of Toth's says
the evening was "a date," though "nothing serious." The handsome agent is known
as a ladies' man: "He's enjoying the single life," says his pal.
Which likely suits Witherspoon just fine. "Reese is in a
good place," a friend told People at the time of her split. "She's doing things
for her these days. She's married to her kids right now, and they're honestly
her first love."]
He is, indeed, very handsome! Click on the People link above to see photographic proof. And yet... why does this story smell like yesterday's fish? (Not meant as a euphemism for Reese's underused vagina. She's way to clean for that nonsense.) I'm not the only one who thinks this story stinks. Check out this opinion, courtesy of Celebitchy:
[I have a hard time believing that Reese Witherspoon's date with a CAA agent was 1. an actual date and/or 2. not staged for publicity. The paparazzi just "happened" to catch Reese looking flirty with said attractive single agent, and People Magazine ran a whole piece on it that's now the featured story on their site. One of the main objectives of agencies like CAA is to get positive press for their clients. You can easily imagine a scenario in which someone at Reese's agency pitched the idea "Hey, Jim is single and attractive, let's have Reese go on a date with him!" That's probably what happened and there's a cute photo to go along with the story of Reese out with the guy. Why do these type of feel good probably planted stories in People leave a bad taste in my mouth? I'm happy for Reese if this is true and all, but my BS meter is going sky high. Still, Britney Spears is dating her agent from William Morris and Hilary Swank fell in love with her then-married CAA agent in 2006. It happens.]
My sense is that it's taken her a loooong time to get over Ryan Phillappe - and the stop-gap romance with Jake Gyllenhaal didn't really do the trick. Does this lend credence to the Reese and Gerard Butler hookup? Is the date with the agent a smokescreen so she that can continue her dirty business with Gerard? Nope. I think she merely needs to be seen as sexy again - most likely in order to promote an upcoming project rather than to fulfill her womanly needs...
