Reese Witherspoon has a bone to pick — the Oscar-winner is sick of being known as Hollywood’s most obsessively organised actor.

The 31-year-old says she often regrets giving her film company the name Type A Productions — a tongue-in-cheek choice the self-confessed perfectionist made many moons ago.

“People immediately assume that I have a very controlling personality,” Witherspoon says with a sigh.

“It’s up for interpretation that term — Type A — and to me it was just about getting things done and being diligent about them happening, which didn’t seem very negative, but sometimes people think of it as a very uptight personality trait.

“I’m just much more easygoing than that — I go with the flow.”

According to Variety, the lovely Amy Adams (known from such movies as Enchanted and Junebug) is in negotiations to join Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon to star in Another Night at the Museum. Adams will play an undetermined historical figure who has a crush on security guard Larry (Stiller).

Shawn Levy returns to helm the sequel, which has a US release date set for May 22, 2009. Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon penned the screenplay, Scott Frank the most recent draft. Levy’s 21 Laps is producing alongside 1492 Pictures. Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe will serve as producers.

20th Century Fox is eyeing a May start date in Vancouver.

I came across some previously unseen Rendition production stills. I am glad that they’re releasing pictures to promote the DVD release: we only had seven of Reese before! Just a friendly reminder that the DVD will be out in a few weeks time – February 19, to be exact.

Penelope opens today in the UK – YAY! I personally cannot wait to see it.

I came across an interview with Christina Ricci, in which she is asked about Reese. Check out the full interview here.

Q WHAT was Reese Witherspoon like as a producer?
A SHE was there all the time. It was in the middle of the awards season, when she won her Academy Award. We were on a Vespa riding through London and she’d just won the Academy Award and everyone was just screaming at her, yelling, “that’s Reese Witherspoon”.

“Penelope” perspective: Although independent films often struggle to find domestic distribution, it’s unusual when those arrangements end and a picture winds up in the hands of another distributor.

A case in point is the romantic comedy fantasy “Penelope,” starring Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon and marking the feature directorial debut of Mark Palansky. Had things gone according to plan, “Penelope” would have surfaced last summer via indie distributors IFC and The Weinstein Co. Instead, its now arriving in theaters Feb. 29 from the well-funded new studio Summit Entertainment.

Produced by Scott Steindorff (Stone Village Pictures) and Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Simpson (Type-A Films) and by Phil Robertson and Chris Curling (Zephyr Films), “Penelope” was written by Leslie Caveny and executive produced by Dylan Russell. Also starring are James McAvoy, Catherine O’Hara, Richard E. Grant, Ronni Ancona, Peter Dinklage and Simon Woods. In the film Ricci plays Penelope Wilhern, a young woman whose wealthy family has since the mid-19th Century been under a witch’s curse that doomed their first born daughter to having the face of a pig.

I’ve updated the gallery with a new Penelope one sheet poster, which also features Reese as Annie.

Speaking of the film, the US release date has been changed once again. It will now open on February 29, 2008, instead of February 1. However, UK audiences will see the movie on February 1. I know I’ll be there right on the opening day.

As you may know, we don’t generally post any gossip-y articles regarding Reese’s personal life. I will, however, post this one as it features an official statement from Reese’s rep.

A British magazine has “exclusively” revealed that actor’s Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are engaged – prompting Witherspoon’s representative to release a statement denying any truth to the report, labeling it “absolutely false”.

According to Reveal magazine, the Brokeback Mountain star asked Witherspoon to marry him during “a romantic trip to Rome last October”, however, the magazine claims that the Legally Blonde star only recently accepted it.

“It’s absolutely false,” Witherspoon’s rep tells US Weekly magazine

“There’s not one ounce of truth to it.”

Good job fans – Reese was named Favorite Female Movie Star yesterday at the People’s Choice Awards! It was announced in a televised program that was drastically altered due to the Hollywood writers strike. Instead of receiving their statuettes to great applause during a traditional awards ceremony, the recipients taped acceptance speeches for a canned broadcast that aired on CBS.

Reuters reports that:

The event’s organizers were forced to change their plans last month because the Writers Guild of America is refusing to allow many awards shows to hire union writers and actors are not crossing the writers’ picket lines.

Depp and Witherspoon were named favorite male and female movie star. Neither was cited for any particular film, though Depp was in theaters last year with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, which won two other awards. Witherspoon appeared in only one movie, the box office bomb Rendition.

Update: Here is a quick snipet of Reese’s pre-recorded speach.

We are nothing without our writers. But we are also nothing without our audience.

If anyone managed to catch Reese’s speech, please consider sending it in!

Jon Favreau and country music stars Tim McGraw and Dwight Yoakam are hoppin’ in the saddle with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn for New Line Cinema’s romantic comedy Four Christmases.

Favreau and McGraw will play Dallas and Denver, respectively, two bullying siblings who delight in tormenting their brother, Brad (Vaughn), during the holidays.

Yoakam will play Pastor Phil, the overly zealous partner of Brad’s new wife Kate’s (Witherspoon) mother (Mary Steenburgen). He persuades the young couple to act in his church’s nativity play, one of many chaotic events during their visits to different sets of parents.
