Here are some new pictures of Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth as they get some Christmas shopping done this weekend in Los Angeles.

They are such a stinkin cute couple!

Reese Witherspoon has just signed on to star in Atom Egoyan’s West Memphis Three drama ‘Devil’s Knot’.

The movie is based on investigative reporter Mara Leveritt’s 2003 book “Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three,” which chronicled the prolonged murder trial of defendants Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr., who served 18 years in prison before being released in August. The trio were accused of killing Christopher Byers, Michael Moore and Stevie Branch, three 8-year-old boys who were found brutally murdered and hog-tied in a wooded area of West Memphis, Arkansas known as Robin Hood Hills.

Witherspoon will play Pam Hobbs, the mother of one of the victims. Hobbs originally believed that Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley murdered her son, but as the case dragged on and more details became available, she came to believe that the trio did not commit the heinous crime.

Production on the under-$20 million feature is expected to start in the summer.

I’ve been fascinated with the West Memphis Three for years. Their story is completely fascinating. I always kind of wondered if they were guilty or innocent – even now that they’ve been released, part of me still wonders if they got away with murder. Either way – I think Reese is perfect casting!

I love Reese Witherspoon. She’s beautiful. But these pants have got to go. I don’t think I ever needed to see this much of her. And of course, I had to share her business with you.

You can hate on me as much as you want – but you know I’m right.  If you stepped out of the house wearing these I would be a good enough friend to tell you I can see your bagina, and go back inside and change.

Miss Piggy?

LeAnn wrote, “I just had to kiss her….”

Looks like LeAnn and Miss Piggy smooched at the CMA Awards which were held last night.

Here are some more pictures that LeAnn took backstage, with Kellie Pickler, Ginnifer Goodwin and Reese Witherspoon!

Saturday night there was a gala honoring Clint Eastwood at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The LACMA Art + Film Gala was sponsored by Gucci.

Several of the women wore Gucci, but not Reese Witherspoon! Reese wore a tight Cushnie et Ochs dress, which looks stunning on her.

What do you think of her look? Love it or hate it? (I think she’d look much better without the big bun…)

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are angry, and this time they’ve got Reese Witherspoon in their eyesight. The actress was spotted around Los Angeles carrying a Chloe Paratay python skin and leather purse, which has upset the organization. It’s suspected that Reese was gifted with the bag or she purchased it elsewhere, seeing as how Python snakeskin has been banned from being sold in California since 1970.

“No matter how much Reese paid for that bag, the animals paid a much higher price,”said Nicole Dao, Media Liaison for the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

“We can’t imagine that she’d wish to contribute to this hidden suffering, especially for something as frivolous as a fashion accessory that can be replicated with no bloodshed,” said Dao, who went on to explain the grotesque manner in which pythons are impaled on trees and skinned alive for their sought-after scales.

Funny thing is, for back in 2005 Reese was nominated for PETA’s ‘World’s Sexiest Vegetarian’ award, however she lost to Carrie Underwood and Chris Martin. A year later, she visited the Ellen DeGeneres show and talked about how “everything tastes better with bacon,” so her veggie days may be a thing of the past.

“These days, it’s easy to have a look that kills without killing – with fake snake, mock croc, python pleather, and other designer items that pay tribute to the beauty of these animals without massacring them,” said Dao.

Like Reese Witherspoon’s bag? For $4,000, it could be yours! Unless of course, you live in California. There it would be illegal for you to buy it.

The bag, designed by Chloe, is made from Python, and in California, there are laws to prevent the sale of such items.

PETA is livid that Reese owns and proudly wears the bag.

As Elle Woods in Legally Blonde she was obsessed with her collection of handbags. But Reese Witherspoon’s most recent personal acquirement has landed her in hot water with animal rights groups, as she was spotted with a $4,000 python skin purse illegal in California.

While the Oscar-winning actress, 35, will not be in trouble with the law, she has been criticised for carrying the exclusive Chloe Paraty python and leather bag. The Walk The Line star could not have purchased the item in California, as it has been illegal to sell the material there since 1970.

A spokeswoman for animal rights charity PETA told the Mail: ‘No matter how much Reese paid for that bag, the animals paid a much higher price.

‘Every year, millions of snakes are impaled on hooks or nailed to trees by their heads and skinned alive. Hoses are inserted into the mouths of large snakes—like pythons—and their bodies are pumped full of water to loosen their skin so that it will cut away more easily. The animals’ peeled, writhing bodies are then discarded, and it often takes days for the animals to die from the effects of shock and dehydration.’

The spokeswoman also said the charity hopes it is a case of ignorance rather than malice on Reese’s part.

She said: ‘We can’t imagine that she’d wish to contribute to this hidden suffering, especially for something as frivolous as a fashion accessory that can be replicated with no bloodshed. These days, it’s easy to have a look that kills without killing, with fake snake, mock croc, python pleather, and other designer items that pay tribute to the beauty of these animals without massacring them.’

Ironically Reese has previously been voted the world’s sexiest vegetarian by animal rights group PETA.

The group has promised to send her an undercover video expose hosted by her Walk The Line co-star Joaquin Phoenix about the cruelty behind the exotic skins industry.

According to RadarOnline, under the California Penal Code Section 653o it is unlawful to import python into California for commercial purposes. This includes possession with intent to sell, or sell within the state. However, it is not illegal if someone purchases python elsewhere and brings it in.

The python Chloe bag is on sale online in black for an eye-watering $3,820, not including sales tax. Other celebrities criticised for having python skin bags include Kylie Minogue and Eva Longoria. The ethical hot potato has seen fashion houses such as Victoria’s Secret, H&M, Overstock.com, Cole Haan, and Nike sign PETA’s pledge promising never to sell exotic skins due to the cruelty.

Who’s side are you on? PETA’s – or Reese’s?
