Actress Reese Witherspoon says her “Legally Blonde” character Elle Woods has been ousted as the most stylish woman to come to the nation’s capital by first lady Michelle Obama.

Speaking Wednesday at a ceremony where Mrs. Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton presented the annual International Women of Courage awards, Witherspoon jokingly complained that Woods, the bubbly blonde from Los Angeles who discovers her inner strength at Harvard Law School and then takes on Washington politics, no longer held that title.

“As an actress, I have always sought out roles that portrayed women as strong and powerful, such as Elle Woods, who was in the ‘Legally Blonde’ movies,” she said to laughter from the audience in an ornate State Department reception room.

Woods, she said, “happened to be the biggest fashionista who ever came to Washington until Michelle Obama. Thanks a lot.”

Clinton then introduced Mrs. Obama as “stylish,” and the first lady returned the compliment to the entire crowd, saying: “You all look fabulous.”

Witherspoon was at the ceremony as a global ambassador for the Avon Foundation, which supports breast cancer research, anti-domestic violence programs and women’s empowerment projects. On Wednesday the group announced a $500,000 contribution to the State Department’s Fund for Global Women’s Leadership.

A couple of nights ago Reese attended the launch of Vera Wang’s new Los Angeles Boutique, and she looked stunning in a little purple dress (presumably by Vera Wang herself?) and poker straight blonde hair! Lisa and I both love this look on her. Reese was pictured alongside her friend and fellow Oscar winner Renee Zellweger.

Hi fans! Yes, we’re still here Lisa and I are still working on the re-vamp, which involves converting all the pages to a new script, whilst updating those pages and adding lots of new stuff. It’s a lot of work, and we want to make Glamour Reese the best we possibly can for you, so it’s taking us a while!

For now though, I thought I’d take a second to ask you for your input! It would be great to know what you’d particuarly like to see here, what you’d like us to focus on, what you’d like to see more, or less, of. Maybe you like to read loads of film information? Or play interactive games? Or want to find lots of icons to decorate your favourite forums etc. with? Whatever springs to mind, post a comment here or send us an email. We’ll try to incorporate all of your ideas as well as we can

Bradley Cooper has scrapped plans to romance Reese Witherspoon on the big screen – he’s dropped out of spy comedy This Means War to focus on The Hangover sequel.

The actor was due to team up with Witherspoon for the new movie, which sees two undercover agents fall in love with the same woman.

Terminator Salvation director McG is reportedly in negotiations to take charge of the picture, while production is slated to begin in July.

But Witherspoon will now be looking for a new leading man after Cooper pulled out of the project citing scheduling conflicts, according to EW.com.

Bosses at the website report Cooper will instead spend his time working on a follow-up to his successful Las Vegas comedy The Hangover, which is slated to begin filming later this year (10).

Katherine Heigl is set to star in bounty hunter movie One For The Money.

Variety reports Reese Witherspoon was originally due to take the lead role of unemployed lingerie buyer Stephanie Plum, but the project has been on hold for years and now the Ugly Truth star is attached to the movie.

The film is based on Janet Evanovich’s novel of the same name.

Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Wendy Finerman will produce the movie.

As well as her role on Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine has parts in forthcoming movies Killers and Life As We Know It.

In response to the destruction and devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti, The Advertising Council and the American Red Cross today (Jan 22nd) launched a national television public service advertisement (PSA) featuring Morgan Freeman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tim McGraw, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon.

In the television PSA, the celebrities encourage all Americans to support relief efforts for the Haitian citizens impacted by the earthquake by donating to the American Red Cross. Viewers are directed to visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-HELP-NOW or text “HAITI” to 9-0-9-9-9 and $10 will be given automatically to the American Red Cross.

Created pro bono by GSD&M Idea City, with the Creative Artists Agency Foundation helping to coordinate the talent, the PSA is available in :30 format. A Spanish-language TV spot, featuring actress Eva Longoria, will also be available to the media next week. Per the Ad Council’s model, the PSAs will air in advertising time that will be donated by the media.
