Reese Witherspoon: Despite being the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, Reese Witherspoon has to be one of the most inoffensive celebrities ever. And yet the tabloids love to manufacture drama about her. She Is Jake Gyllenhaal’s Blonde Beard! No, They Are More In Love Than Ever! Reese Still Not Over Ryan’s Affair! Etc. But sometimes, even the squeakiest stars do something dumb enough to capture my attention. Exhibit A, from an interview with the BBC: What’s a typical Christmas Day for you? I have kids, so it’s a lot about opening presents. And then I start cooking and I really enjoy that part of it. They play with their toys and I cook some dinner. It’s nice. Are you a generous mum or do you have to exercise some control? I’m a little strict about that kind of stuff. I think kids do best when they only have a couple of things that they really enjoy. I try and stay away from the gluttony of things. They don’t appreciate it as much. When they only get one or two things they really like it. And Exhibit Bling: This year, she has said her daughter Ava “wants a horse.” (Watch the video.) She suggests she is still on the fence about buying her that present. On Christmas morning, there’s nothing like home and hearth. And horses. I say let Ava have her pony, but cut the down-home, feel-good, we-are-not-abnormally-wealthy-just-because-I-get-paid-$20-million-per-movie crap, okay?

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
