Selma Blair: "Reese Witherspoon anthitesis of Paris Hilton"

Actress SELMA BLAIR calls best friend REESE WITHERSPOON the "antithesis of PARIS HILTON" because she shuns the limelight and wants to concentrate on work.

The actress starred with the Golden Globe-winner in LEGALLY BLONDE and describes Witherspoon as a "sensitive little earthling".

Blair says, "Reese is the antithesis of Paris Hilton. She's never courted the tabloids or wanted to be on parade for the drama. She's about doing good work."

Witherspoon herself has lashed out at the endless supply of dumb-blonde types currently popular in Hollywood.

The WALK THE LINE star says, "It irritates me that the sort of fad that 'stupidity is cute' might really be doing some serious damage. It's the cheap answer, and let's hope that their moment fades. Sorry, but I have a little girl."

I find it a tad hypocritical when she plays dumb blonde bimbos in her movies.

calendargurl · January 19th, 2006, 06:29 AM

Yea but that was kind of the whole point about the Legally Blonde movies. Corny as they were, it was all about the fact that in spite of appearing to be just a pretty dumb blonde, the character was a Harvard Lawyer who had concerns that went beyond fashion and beauty and being a pretty little sexpot who spreads her legs for a living...unlike do-nothing fame whore heiresses who probably couldn't even read a book an eighth grader would be assigned to do a book report on, much less comprehend it.

^^ Yep. The Legally Blonde girl was pretty smart! I loved that movie, it was too funny

So what is Reese's educational background? She doesn't strike me as an educational giant either

MrsDark · January 19th, 2006, 08:15 AM

I have to wonder about that simply because she's been working as an actress for so long. But it does seem like she picks up a book every now and then! And would probably be able to have a discussion on it. I'd be shocked if Paris could even fully comprehend tabloid articles about her without help.

Shes right. But she must not even mention her(Paris). Why dont people just ignore her?¿?

loulou58 · January 19th, 2006, 08:45 AM

shes so right, shes done well for herself without gettin her name in the tabloids for pissing in cabs, falling out of bars, and shagging everything that moves. she has a sensible head on her shoulders, maybe thats why in spite of their careers, her and ryan are still together with babies, and theyre both doin good, and Paris has more STD;s than she can shake a stick at and no actual career!

In movies like "Legally Blonde," Witherspoon may skirt the issue of
playing a dumb blonde vs. being a dumb blonde,
but at least she has some awareness of the subject.

Paris Hilton, it seems to me, is completely oblivious to
anything that doesn't involve a mirror and a razor blade, as
Oasis put it.

She actually went to Stanford for a year before she concentrated on acting.
I know I know. She didnt graduate. But hey at least she GOT in.

Did Paris even get her GED?
