Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have separated. The couple’s rep released a statement to TMZ Monday morning that says "We are saddened to announce that Reese & Ryan have decided to formally separate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time." Sources tell TMZ Witherspoon has contacted celebrity divorce lawyer Robert Kaufman, who has represented Jennifer Aniston, Roseanne and Lisa Marie Presley. Sources say Witherspoon spoke with Kaufman about divorcing Ryan Phillippe, her husband of seven years. The couple has two children. They met at Witherspoon’s 21st birthday party. As for why Witherspoon contacted Kaufman, we’re told it was not triggered by one event. Rather, one connected source says it was "cumulative." Divorce papers have not yet been filed.

That picture was taken on the 16th and they still look kind of happy, so sad. I really thought they were going to make it.

Now that the role of Joker is unofficially in the hands of Heath Ledger, rumors are heating up regarding the other major baddie in Christopher Nolan’s Untitled Batman Begins Sequel. Harvey Dent, Gotham’s young assistant D.A. ultimately transforms into one of Batman’s greatest villains — Two Face. Word is Dent will not become Two Face until the third film, making it so whoever signs up for the role must do so for at least two films.So far, a ton of names have been mentioned: Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Josh Lucas and Jake Gyllenhaal, to name a few. Personally, I think it would be hilarious if Gyllenhaal nabbed the role — Brokeback Batman, anyone? The latest name being circulated around the Bat-cave is that of Crash star and Mr. Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe. Ugh. Actually, make that a double ugh.

At least Katie Holmes won’t be in it?
