Ryan Phillippe

Ryan Phillippe says that he no longer has trouble crying on cue, and that after his divorce with Reese Witherspoon he bawled like a baby. This crippling emotional state apparently has made him a better actor.

“Now, it’s fucking easy,” he says. “When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows.”

Hmm…that’s funny, because if I recall correctly, Ryan Phillippe only actually plays really prissy, uptight bastards who end up feeling bad at some point and crying a lot. So what does this mean? And, like, it’s great when men are in touch with their feelings and all, but no woman really wants a guy who’s falling to pieces over his Wheaties, thankyouverymuch.

Looks like the man candies are getting pissy. Metro (if only questionably hetero) sexuals Ryan Phillipe and Jake Gyllenhaal are rumored to be squabbling over Ryan’s ex- and Jake’s possibly current squeeze Reese Witherspoon.

From US Magazine:

“Ryan is pissed about Jake,” a Phillippe insider tells Us Weekly, adding that Phillippe, 32, told Witherspoon, 31, “he didn’t want ‘that guy’ around their kids [son Deacon, 3, and daughter Ava, 7] and then made some crude Brokeback Mountain remark.”

However, a Gyllenspoon source tells Us that “Reese doesn’t have Jake spend the night when the kids are around.” And though the actor may be angry that Witherspoon is moving on, his feelings for Aussie actress Abbie Cornish, 25, are less conflicted.

So how exactly do two such pretty boys fight? There has to be a whole lot of “dude, not the face” and “watch the hair” going on. Oooh, manly men.

Rumor has it that Britney Spears was caught getting her swerve on with Reese Witherspoon’s ex Ryan Phillippe in the bathroom at the Les Deux nightclub. How romantic.

From The National Enquirer:

A source told the magazine that Ryan stopped by Britney’s table and “Britney had her arms around him.” She then allegedly followed Phillippe into the men’s room and, after getting worried, her bodyguards are said to have “busted in the door and found Britney and Ryan groping and kissing.”

I don’t even know who to feel sorry for in this story. Do we pity Britney because she’s so desperate that she’s getting felt up by cast-offs between the urinals? Or do we feel bad for Ryan who is trying to get over being dumped by his superstar wife by making out with Britney Spears?

Is Lindsay Lohan looking to be an evil stepmother? Rumor has it that Lindsay is drooling over Reese Witherspoon’s soon-to-be ex Ryan Phillippe and is doing her best to grab his attention.

From The National Ledger:

According to a published report, Lohan recently met Reese Witherspoon’s soon-to-be ex, Ryan Phillippe at a Hollywood party and became quite smitten with him.

The National Enquirer reports that since the two met, Lindsay can’t stop mooning over the ‘Breach’ hunk. She has been begging mutual friends to tell him she wants to hook up and has been leaving him non-stop phone messages. According to veteran gossip Mike walker, Ryan isn’t interested and hasn’t returned one call.

Well, give Ryan points for having some taste. Of course if he’s smart he’ll change him phone number, move to another state and consider dressing like a woman until Lindsay spots some other piece of man candy to lust after. Oh and hide the kids…I think you need tomato juice to get that Lindsay stink off small children.

More on the Witherspoon-Phillippe saga… Ryan Phillipe has hired and fired a publicist, who in the few hours that was employed by the actor made up a number of things. Among them, a fake exclusive interview with InTouch, where the actor supposedly said:

"I’m not jealous of her, that’s so far from the truth. She’s someone who’s very talented and works hard. I’ve done well, too - that was never an issue." and "This is the hardest time of my life - I miss my family."

The issue here is not what the said or didn’t say, but the fact that the "exclusive interview" was to take place with People magazine, not with InTouch. Oops!
