Ben Affleck, Garth Brooks, Reese Witherspoon, and Eva Mendes have joined forces to urge Americans to vote in a new TV ad.

Cameras catch the quartet going about their normal lives while each talks about the importance of voting in the new DividedWeFail.org public service commercials.

Country star Brooks changes a lightbulb, Mendes enjoys a coffee, Witherspoon spends time shoe shopping and Affleck plays with daughter Violet’s dolls house.

He knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it any easier for Ryan Phillippe to see ex-wife Reese Withersoon with her new man.

“It’s bizarre,” the actor told USA Today, adding that he avoids looking at photos of Witherspoon and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

“There’s plenty of times when I say, ‘What a strange situation I’ve found myself in,’ ” he said. “But at a certain point you know it’s going to happen, so you are prepared.”

Phillippe, 33, split from Witherspoon – the mother of his two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4 – in October 2006. The actress’s new romance first made headlines last March, when she and the Brokeback Mountain star were spotted dining at L.A.’s Il Sole.

As for Phillippe’s own love life, the actor – who’s been linked to actress Abbie Cornish – remained reticent. “It’s just something I would really rather not address,” he told the paper. “It has to be a ‘no comment.’ ”

He also insists that despite a painful divorce, he isn’t ruling out a second marriage.

“I can see doing it again, yeah,” he said. “And I can certainly see possibly having children again. I’m pretty young, and there are many beautiful things about that idea of marriage and family. It just doesn’t always work out perfect for everybody.”

Ryan Phillippe has given his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal his blessing.

Phillippe and Witherspoon, who have two children together, ended their eight-year marriage with a divorce last year. He is now dating Australian starlet Abbie Cornish, while Witherspoon is in a relationship with her Rendition co-star Gyllenhaal.

And Phillippe wishes Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal the best. Speaking to U.S. radio host Howard Stern on Thursday, Phillippe said, “He’s a good dude. I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is.” The 33-year-old added that his split from Witherspoon was a “mutual” decision. He said, “Leading up to it, we had been spending so much time apart. That’s a huge part of it. There are so many obstacles.”

Reese Witherspoon’s young son has nicknamed his famous mom ‘The Mommy Trash Compactor’ because she’s obsessed with garbage. The super-tidy actress admits she’s a clean freak - and even her trash has to look good.

The Oscar winner tells U.S. TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that she insists on making sure her garbage is never overflowing or out of control. She says, “I like to throw a lot of things away, particularly at Christmas. It makes me a little crazy when the trash is overflowing.

“I put on rubber boots and I literally get into the trash can and I stomp on the trash. “Sometimes I’ll sneak and look at the neighbor’s garbage cans and see if it’s kind of empty. I’ll wait, literally until the middle of the night when the children are asleep, and I’ll take my extra garbage and I’ll put it in the can.”

Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon says that she dreads days out at the beach, because she worries about the paparazzi taking photos of her in her swimwear.

The mother of two has admitted that the prospect of her bikini-clad bottom gracing the pages of tabloid magazines and internet sites around the world terrifies her.

She says, “I hate that the paparazzi takes my picture when I’m on vacation: ‘Oh my God, did they see my butt? I hope they did not see my butt.’”

Her comments come after Jennifer Love Hewitt
attacked the paparazzi for taking unflattering photos of her while celebrating her engagement on a beach in Hawaii.

I don’t think either of them should have anything to worry about. Both actresses look great. Don’t you?
