Ryan Phillippe has been pulled over by police in California for speeding with his two young children in the car.

The Flags Of Our Fathers star was driving in Santa Monica with his kids from his marriage to Reese Witherspoon, Ava, seven, and Deacon, four, when he was stopped by an officer on Friday.

It’s believed the actor allegedly ignored a stop sign and was speeding.

Ryan Phillippe says this about the war in Iraq:

“I can’t wait for (this war) to be over, and our troops to be home. We’re occupying territory we don’t belong in. We’re there under grounds that were not truthful or warranted.”

Agreed! We have no business there and should never have gone there in the first place.

Ryan Phillippe is finally ready to move on after splitting with Reese Witherspoon two years ago, with the help of a new tattoo.

He officially divorced Reese last October, but has struggled since to find focus in his life over the past two years, but he’s suddenly become filled with renewed hope and ambition.

He’s had a tattoo of a phoenix inked into his skin to symbolize his rebirth on the planet Earth.

He says, “I think because I’ve arrived at a place in my life that it makes sense. I have a focus, and my goals are clearer to me now.”

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.”

To get ready for his role in the film, Stop-Loss, in which he plays a military hero, Ryan Phillippe says he trained just like any other soldier.

“Initially, we got physically and emotionally ready with a boot camp at the beginning,” the actor tells Extra. “It gave us the opportunity to bond, like in the most sincere fashion. Ultimately the relationships we formed were what lent itself to truth in the film.”

When it comes to the film’s very topical and sensitive subject matter, Phillippe says, “I think the war itself is a backdrop. I think this film doesn’t tell you how to feel about it because, coming in, you already know. This is more about the human aspect of how you put your life together when you come home and I think it speaks to a younger generation that hasn’t see these films.”

Phillippe adds that there were many real-life military families who came to him during filming, thanking him for telling their story. “They’ve all said, ‘This is the most truthful representation of what my son is going through, what my husband is going through.’ That’s really gratifying.”
