Reese Witherspoon hates going to the gym

Reese Witherspoon hates going to the gym.

The Oscar-winning actress, who is famed for her slender figure, loathes working out but will reluctantly exercise if a film role requires it.

She is quoted as saying: "If I never had to see the inside of a gym again, I'd be a very happy person. Even the idea of it, I hate. There's people who love it and it's just their thing. I can do it, and I can do it for my job because I'm really lucky to get this job and have a job so I will do it. But it's not my first choice of morning activity."

Although she has no desire to exercise, the mother-of-two recently revealed she wants to star in a high-octane adventure film.

Reese said: "I would like to do an action movie. I love to watch Angelina Jolie in movies like 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'.

"I think movies where women have great strength and the character is interesting. I'm dying to do one."

Witherspoon calls divorce 'humiliating'

Actress Reese Witherspoon poses at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California February 22, 2009.

Reese Witherspoon has called her divorce from Ryan Phillippe “humiliating and very isolating,” in a new interview with ELLE magazine.

The actress, whose new movie, the animated “Monsters vs. Aliens” is due out March 27, sat down with ELLE magazine, and opened up about her split from the “Stop-Loss” actor.

“[It was] very humiliating and very isolating,” she the magazine’s April issue.

“But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions. When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, ‘Are they crazy? I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again.’ And I still have moments where I’m like, ‘Nothing’s ever gonna make sense again.’”

But if her comments about current beau Jake Gyllenhaal are anything to go by, things can’t be all bad for Witherspoon. After all, she said Jake was “fabulous.”

“He really is a fantastic guy,” Witherspoon continued before shutting further questions about her current relationship down. “Unfortunately, he’s not in the movie, so we can’t really talk about him,” she said.

Movie crowds kept up their holiday spirit as Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn's comedy "Four Christmases" rang up 18.2 million U. S. dollars to lead the box office for a second-straight weekend.

The Warner Bros. flick raised its 12-day total to 70.8 million dollars, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"'Four Christmases' was set up perfectly. It's an evergreen subject for the holiday period," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box office tracker Media By Numbers. "This is a movie that can play and is playing from Thanksgiving through the end of the year."

Despite the economic downturn, Hollywood continued to outperform last year's holiday season, with revenues up for the fifth weekend in a row.

The top 12 movies took in 77.5 million dollars, a 6 percent increase from the same weekend in 2007, when "The Golden Compass" opened at No. 1 with 25.8 million dollars.

Revenues for the year are at 8.7 billion dollars, slightly ahead of the pace last year, when Hollywood ended up with record receipts of 9.7 billion dollars. However, that reflects higher ticket prices, because actual attendance is down 4 percent, according to Media By Numbers.

Only one new movie opened in full wide release, Lionsgate's action tale "Punisher: War Zone," which delivered a weak No. 8 debut with 4 million dollars. Based on Marvel Comics' "The Punisher," the movie stars Ray Stevenson in the title role as a vigilante hero going up against a crime boss.

In narrower release, Sony's music saga "Cadillac Records" opened solidly with 3.5 million dollars to come in at No. 9. The film features Adrien Brody, Beyonce Knowles, Jeffrey Wright, Cedric the Entertainer and Mos Def in the story of legendary blues label Chess Records.

Ron Howard's drama "Frost/Nixon" had a huge debut in limited release, taking in 180,147 dollars in just three theaters, averaging a whopping 60,049 dollars a cinema. That compares to a 5,451 dollars average in 3,335 theaters for "Four Christmases."

A likely contender for a best-picture nomination at the Academy Awards, the Universal Pictures film stars Frank Langella as former President Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen as TV personality David Frost in the story of their momentous 1977 interviews.

"Frost/Nixon" expands to more theaters over the next two weeks.

Sony's James Bond sequel "Quantum of Solace" took in 6.6 million dollars to raise its domestic total to 151.5 million dollars. The film topped the 500 million dollars mark worldwide.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. "Four Christmases," $18.2 million.

2. "Twilight," $13.2 million.

3. "Bolt," $9.7 million.

4. "Australia," $7 million.

5. "Quantum of Solace," $6.6 million.

6. "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa," $5.1 million.

7. "Transporter 3," $4.5 million.

8. "Punisher: War Zone," $4 million.

9. "Cadillac Records," $3.5 million.

10. "Role Models," $2.6 million.
