Reese Witherspoon famously played a lawyer in Legally Blonde and its sequel. However, she is not one in real life. But she was so believable in the role that she was once mistaken for being one.
The actress shared a story with Graham Norton about how believable she was. Seven years after the first film came out, the actress was called to jury duty in Beverly Hills, and she was picked. When it came time to choose a foreman, the jurors wanted her to take on that role. Why? They thought she went to law school. As we know, she didn’t.
What was the case? She spent two weeks listening to a woman suing another one because she got bit trying to break up a dog fight.
Witherspoon didn’t say whether they found the dog owner guilty. But she did say everyone knows how to put your handle in the middle of a dogfight.
So, it sounds like even though she did not go to law school, the jurors made the correct choice by choosing her.
Before Osgood Perkins was directing scary movies like The Monkey, he was getting slapped by Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. How innocent does the 26-year-old look in that 2001 movie?
Nicole Kidman and Resse Witherspoon worked together on Big Little Lies, and they hang out in Nashville. So Vanity Fair asked the Oscar winners to interview each other.
It was a lot of hearing them annoyingly praise each other. But there is one thing Kidman hates about her co-star. And that thing is that she only calls Laura Dern by her last name.
Why does Witherspoon do that? “Cause my name is Laura. And her name is Laura. And it is confusing for me,” she explained. “My name is Laura Jeanne.”
Then Kidman pointed out that Dern calls her Reese. And she was like it is still weird.
I get it. I hate calling people by my first name too. But I still do it because I am not a bitch.
My friend and I have a joke about how Jeopardy smart we are. She says she is Celebrity Jeopardy smart, and I tell her I am Elementary School Jeopardy smart. However, those fifth graders are smarter than me. So I could be wrong.
Anyways, in a few months, we can say we are Pop Culture Jeopardy smart. That is because Prime Video is launching a Jeopardy that is all about Pop Culture.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture. Contestants, playing in teams of three, will need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to collaborate with our partners at Amazon to make Prime Video the home for our new Jeopardy! spinoff series,” said Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television. “With Michael Davies at the helm, Pop Culture Jeopardy! is going to be a nail biter for game show enthusiasts who can expect to see teams competing at the highest level of Jeopardy! combined with a fresh twist of pop culture Olympics for the mind…it’s going to be a must-watch for long-time viewers and new fans alike.”
What is, I will be watching!
Another thing I will be watching on Prime Video is The Boys, season 5. That is right, the Superhero series was picked up for another season before this one starts streaming on June 13th.
That is not all. Elle Woods is back with a Legally Blonde prequel series.
Elle follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film.
“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that?! I’m extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine – along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell – for making this dream of mine come true. Legally Blonde is back!,” said Reese Witherspoon.
Finally, Prime Video announced which celebrities are competing on Are You Smarter Than Celebrity? Travis Kelce will be finding out if the contestants are smarter than comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches; Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; Real Housewife of Beverly Hills’ Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh.
Josh Lucas was on Watch What Happens Live yesterday, and Andy Cohen wanted to know if he would be interested in doing a sequel to Sweet Home Alabama.
Lucas says he is at the point where he is about to beg Reese Witherspoon to do it. Because it is her call, so when she finally dials his phone, he will be there.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the 2002 film needs a sequel. It ended perfectly and should be left alone. What do you think?
