Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. honored Dolly Parton. During the show Jessica Simpson stopped her version of a Dolly Parton song abruptly and said, "Dolly that made me so nervous." Very unprofessional. Jessica didn’t even rehearse, and sang the words off cue cards. She should have learn from Ashley’s SNL lip syncing flub. I find it hard to feel sorry for Jessica when she wasn’t even prepared to perform. She did it to herself. The real star that sparkled was Reese Witherspoon who came to Jessica’s aid.

Reese Witherspoon’s tactic for controlling false rumors: Stop them before they start.

A source on the L.A. set of Rendition says the actress, 30 (who split from husband Ryan Phillippe, 32, in October) has banned cell phones so no photos of her and costar Jake Gyllenhaal get out.

“Reese doesn’t want any rumors about her and Jake,” says the source, who adds that security on the film is tight.

Other sources insist the studio put the kibosh on cell phones. New Line Cinema didn’t comment.

Actress Reese Witherspoon, recently split from hubby Ryan Phillippe, gets flirty with hunky co-star actor Jake Gyllenhaal while filming the thriller Rendition in Los Angeles.

Reese’s character is pregnant in the film and she has some fun walking around with her fake belly. After shooting Jake hung around Reese’s trailer to say goodbye and the two enjoyed a few laughs together.

Reese Whitherspoon is officially divorcing Ryan Phillippe in a filing today. These two seem like they work well together, even through a divorce, but they just aren’t compatible.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement when they wed in 1999, according to TMZ.

The financial blow will be big for Witherspoon, 30, if the couple, who announced their separation Monday, ends up divorcing.

Earlier this year, Witherspoon surpassed Julia Roberts as the highest paid actress in Hollywood, commanding $29 million a movie, while Phillippe, 32, makes roughly $2.5 million a film.

Under California law, without a pre-nup, earnings during a marriage are divided up 50/50.

Sources tell TMZ that there’s no talk of reconciliation and that the divorce will be amicable for the sake of the children, but we’ve been here before, haven’t we?

One minute you’re “amicable,” the next you’re in court rehashing the time your partner came home wasted, and you had to put her to sleep in the bathtub where she vomited on herself.
