Studying Time: 3 minutes
There are only a few secrets and techniques within the age of social media.
In reality, the times of blind gadgets — gossip tales through which key particulars are revealed, however the names are saved below wraps — are mainly a factor of the previous. It’s simply too straightforward these days for newbie on-line detectives to piece collectively the entire image.
And that’s a lesson that Reese Witherspoon may be studying the exhausting means this week.
Reese Says a Bit Too A lot
The difficulty started throughout a joint interview with Reese and Will Ferrell.
The co-stars are selling their new film, You’re Cordially Invited, and so they sat down for a dialog through which Reese may’ve revealed greater than she meant to whereas sharing the story of a former buddy who not speaks to her.
“It literally haunts me,” Witherspoon informed Ferrell in a bit that was printed in Individuals on Thursday.
“So this friend of mine — who I didn’t really know that well, but she was a very serious, proper actress — she asked me to give her an award.”
Reese went on to clarify that she “had never been” to that individual awards ceremony, and he or she mistakenly “thought was like a roast.”
“So I got up and I roasted her,” she recalled.
Sadly, “the tone was British and elegant and classy. And I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?!’” The joke, it appears, went over like a lead balloon.
“We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore. I think she doesn’t like me anymore,” Witherspoon went on.
“I thought it was so funny, and it was just, I had the wrong audience. It was pretty bad. I’m not even kidding, she doesn’t talk to me anymore. Oh, well.”
Has the Offended Brit Id Been Revealed?
Now, the superstar gossip web site Simply Jared is reporting {that a} bunch of web detectives have found out that the irate former buddy is none aside from Kate Winslet.
They level out that Reese introduced Kate with an artist of the 12 months award on the 2007 BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards.
“I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes and have savoir-faire and gravitas,” Reese quipped to the gang that fateful day.
“Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my doorbell and said, ‘Darling, Sam [Mendes] is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost 9 o’clock and I’ve had nothing to do drink, do you have any wine?’”
Witherspoon later joked that she needed to inform extra tales of her adventures with Kate, however they had been “too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell,” together with the time they “contemplated laser hair removal.”
There are different theories floating round, with some claiming that Reese was referring to Nicole Kidman (unlikely, as Kidman is Australian, and Reese described the award present vibe as “very British), however Kate looks as if the obvious offender.
And now that she’s been dragged into this little mini-controversy, Kate has another reason to be indignant at Reese!
