talk about the perfect role

Posted Mar 02 2007 @ 11:46 AM

Ever since her jaw-droppingly beautiful appearance at the Academy Awards, Reese Witherspoon has been flauntin' it, as seen here shopping in Santa Monica on February 26th. Reese made a few purchases, wearing a pair of slender black jeans with a black cardigan, white blouse, and long gold necklace. One thing is for sure, while Reese was on her little shopping spree, cute kids, Deacon and Ava, were not at home with a nanny! Reese has made it clear in interviews that she and Ryan never hired a full-time nanny, because "we weren't the kind of children that were shadowed. We didn't have nannies. We didn't have housekeepers. This whole Los Angeles culture is so foreign to me." Spoken like a true Southern belle!

Ironically, Reese is currently one of the top choices for the lead in the adaptation of the highly popular book "The Manny". If she nabs the role, Reese will play the role of a super successful business woman who falls for and then seduces her children's male nanny! The author of the book, Holly Pearson, explains how she would "love to see Reese in the part. The lead character Jamie Whitefield is very successful but she's very likeable too, and someone you can relate to. Reese has those qualities." She sure does!
