Reese Witherspoon’s Big Box Office
Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon, whose holiday comedy Four Christmases took in $31.1 million to open as the top weekend movie. Four Christmases beat out Bolt, Twilight, and Quantum of Solace at the box office.
The 32-year-old actress spent Thanksgiving with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and actress pal Gwyneth Paltrow, while ex-husband Ryan Phillippe spent Thanksgiving with their children.
Four Christmases, Won Thanksgiving
Americans defied the credit crunch this weekend to make the Thanksgiving holiday ultra-boffo, as they’d probably say over at Variety. Three high-profile new releases duked it out with some strong holdovers for the top spot and, when the dust had settled, one thing was clear: Vince Vaughn > vampires.
Four Christmases, the broad Vince Vaughn-Reese Witherspoon comedy, was the undisputed champ of both the three-day and five-day frames, pulling in an estimated $31.6 million and $46.7 million respectivel

Sometimes Cheaters Do Win!
I thought it was so sad when Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe announced that they were getting a divorce only two years ago. One, because I had loved Ryan Phillipe and the news that he was just another no-good cheater was very upsetting to me. Two, because I love Reese Witherspoon, and still do, and...Full Article @ celebrity blend gossip

Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon Revel in “Four Christmases”
The vampires were only a hot item for about a week as Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon’s surprising hit comedy “Four Christmases” easily won the box office top spot with a take of $46.7 million in the 4-day holiday weekend run.
If that estimated amount hold, it would make the comedy the third-best Thanksgiving weekend opener ever, after Toy Story 2 ($80M) and last year’s Enchanted ($49M). It’s also a best for Vaughn since ‘The Break-Up’, and it’s Witherspo
Why hasn’t Vince Vaughn promoted ‘Four Christmases’?
Reese Witherspoon hit the publicity trail hard for her comedy Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. She’s been doing the late night TV circuit and has granted plenty of interviews. While Reese’s perma-grin has been plastered all over magazines, Vaughn has done nary an interview. He also didn’t show up to the premiere of Four Christmases in LA. There was an interview with Vince in Esquire Magazine that came out earlier this month that kept mentioning how fat he was, but apart from that I coul

John Travolta has an interview with Reuters in which he promotes Bolt, his new animated film in which he plays the lead dog. The film came in second at the box office this holiday, falling behind the Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon comedy Four Christmases. Travolta waxes poetic about all the great roles he’s turned down in his career, but he has no regrets because he realizes he had to step aside to let other actors shine. According to Travolta, he’s personally responsible for the careers of

Four Christmases? We Should Be So Lucky!
Are you struck by a sense of deja vu whenever the trailer for Four Christmases plays? And not just because Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon are reprising their respective fast-talking funnyman and girl-next-door schticks.
With all the various ways Christmas is celebrated around the world, is it too much to ask for some cinematic variety? Apparently so. Every year we're presented with two tired-old Christmas movie themes -- Zany Frantic Slapfest and Comforting Holiday Heart-Warmer.

Four Christmases Earns $31.7 Million at the Weekend Box Office
Did you see Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn? I did, and it was hilarious. I don’t laugh throughout the entire movie of pretty much anything, but when one funny scene was finished, another one began.
You know how a lot of comedies have like one or two funny scenes? Not this one. A lot of folk also don’t think Reese and Vince are a believable couple - I could care less. If two people make me laugh, you could pair up Star Jones with Matt Damon. If it’s funny, I don
On "Today," will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marry? On "Good Morning America," will Britney Spears learn to entertain?
Big doings in the morning. Or so we thought, based on the promotion.
ABC said it had the "concert event of the year" with Britney Spears performing. Yep, she sang -- or rather, lip synched -- two songs on "Good Morning America." Two songs! Some concert event.
Spears looked good. But she didn't move with a lot of verve. (Turn it on, Brit, if you want to drive those CD sales.) Diane Sawyer fawned over her, which was kind of embarrassing. But Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor S
