Reese Witherspoon pretended to be Arnold Schwarzenegger in her new film.

The 33-year-old actress – who plays a 49ft superhero in animated movie “Monsters vs. Aliens” – made her voice so deep and macho much her children Ava, nine, and Deacon, five, didn’t even realize it was her.

She said: “They wanted me to sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Bruce Willis. I was like, how do you do that?!”

“The voice got deeper and stronger and they wanted me to be like an action hero. They had to coach me a lot.”

“We got home from seeing the movie for the first time and Ava and Deacon were like, ‘Do the voice! Is it really you?’”

In the new Dreamworks film, Reese plays Susan, an ordinary woman who gets hit by a meteorite and becomes Ginormica.

Reese loved the role so much, she bought her children dozens of Ginormica action figures.

She added to US TV show “Access Hollywood”: “I have all the action figures. As soon as I saw my own action figure, I ripped her out of the box and started playing with her. My kids love it, every morning we play with them. I have to pretend to be a giant robot.”

Reese Witherspoon has sparked fresh marriage rumors after she was spotted wearing an engagement ring.

The “Legally Blonde” actress – who has been dating Jake Gyllenhaal since 2007 – hastily removed the sparkler during a recent photo shoot when she realized people were staring at it.

A source at the Avon shoot, which was held at Los Angeles’ Sony Studios, told America’s Star magazine: “It was gorgeous, and everyone noticed it right away.”

“But she took it off as soon as she saw people staring. Reese stuffed it in her bag and didn’t put it on again the rest of the day.”

Last month, Jake was spotted engagement ring shopping in New York.

The “Brokeback Mountain” actor spent four hours searching for the perfect band in a jewelery shop.

According to recent reports, Jake had been planning to whisk Reese away on a romantic Egyptian holiday to pop the question.

The 28-year-old actor has been making a huge effort to spend time with 32-year-old Reese’s two children recently – nine-year-old Ava and Deacon, five, from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.

Reese Witherspoon’s son wanted to kill things after watching her new movie.

The blonde actress was amazed when a trip to see “Monsters vs Aliens” – in which she voices the character of Susan, a woman who swells to 42ft 11ins tall and then helps save the planet from an alien invasion – brought out Deacon’s violent tendencies.

Reese – who has nine-year-old daughter Ava and five-year-old son Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – told BANG Showbiz: “I took my kids to see it a couple of week’s ago.”

“As I was driving home from the theater I said to my children in the back seat, ‘So, what do you think is the message in this movie?’”

“My daughter really thoughtfully said, ‘I think it’s about never letting someone underestimate you and always living up to your true potential.’ I said, ‘That is so astute, yes, Ava, that is exactly what the message is.’”

Then I said, “Deacon, what do you think the movie is about? Friendship? Being an outsider?”

He said, “I think it’s about… I think it’s about when octopus aliens come to your planet you got to make sure you kill them.’”

Despite the effect the movie had on her son, 5ft 1ins Reese has no regrets about starring in it because it allowed her to realize one long-held ambition – to be tall.

She explained: “I appreciated it being somewhat regular sized – actually, I’m a little short.”

“I think it would be such a dream to be able to be walk into any store and to be able to buy jeans that fit, to buy tall jeans that would be nice.”

“Monsters vs Aliens” is released in the UK on April 3.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been spotted engagement ring shopping.

The “Brokeback Mountain” actor spent four hours in a New York jewelery shop last week in search of the perfect band to propose to his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon.

A source said: “Jake spent most of his time in the room where they keep the rings. He looked really serious and was taking his time.”

According to recent reports, Jake is planning to whisk the “Legally Blonde” actress away on a romantic Egyptian holiday to pop the question to his girlfriend of two years.

Geoffrey Kent from the Abercrombie and Kent travel company said: “I was asked to organize the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend.”

“They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in.”

“That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly-discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and it will be quite an experience.”

The 28-year-old actor has been making a huge effort to spend time with 32-year-old Reese’s two children recently – nine-year-old Ava and Deacon, five, from her previous marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe.

Reese Witherspoon used to dare her brother to touch skinned raccoons in their freezer.The “Four Christmases” actress was terrified of the dead animals her doctor father sometimes received as payment from his Tennessee patients, but the animal corpses inspired a popular game between her and sibling John.

She is quoted as saying: “One year, a man brought my father a dead skinned squirrel and a dead raccoon.”

“My father put them in the freezer. My brother and I were so scared of them.”

“We were afraid to go near the freezer because my dad kept them in there for three years.”

“We’d dare each other to touch them and look at them. It was very scary.”

Reese – who has two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – also revealed the presents she likes to give people at Christmas.

She added: “I like to give plants. I know that sounds really boring. But I like to give lemon trees and other trees that bear fruit.”

“Fruit trees are really nice gifts to give because they keep on giving and they’re not something that’s just taking up space.”

“They’re nice things to have in your garden.”

Reese Witherspoon only buys her children ”one or two” Christmas presents.

The “Four Christmases” star – who has nine-year-old Ava and five-year-old Deacon with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – admits she limits the amount of gifts her family receive on the festive holiday because she doesn’t want them to be spoiled.

After saying Ava has asked for a horse for Christmas, Reese said: “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.”

Reese – who is currently dating her “Rendition” co-star Jake Gyllenhaal – also revealed she loves cooking a huge festive feast.

She added: “After opening presents, I start cooking, and I really enjoy that part of it. The kids play with their toys, and I cook some dinner. It’s nice.”

The Oscar-winning actress added that the children have found a novel way to entertain themselves when they grow tired of their new toys – dressing up her Academy Award.

She laughed: “At Christmas time, they put a little hat on him and a little scarf so he doesn’t get cold!”

Reese Witherspoon is an ”incredible trampolinist.”

The “Four Christmases” star has revealed the secret talent which she has spent hours developing since she was a child.

The actress is also a master in the kitchen after her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal bought her lessons last year.”

She added: “I am a pretty good cook, I can cook anything. I am actually really good at making Sunday dinners.”

Reese – who has two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – has also revealed her love for English food.

She added: “The food in London is so good. Americans have this fallacy that the food in the UK is bad. They should all go there and see for themselves how wrong that is.”

“Four Christmases” is released in the US and UK today .

Reese Witherspoon thinks it is too soon to think about marrying boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

The 32-year-old actress – who has two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – admits divorce has changed her opinions about the institution of marriage.

She said: “Family is all we have in life, but I don’t know how I feel about marriage. Obviously, I’m not far enough out of being married to think about doing it again.”

“You sort of reconstitute your family. You find a family with people who come into your life for a reason.”

Reese, who has never revealed the reasons for her divorce, also revealed she always vowed not to “lay blame” on Ryan for their relationship breakdown.

She added to Parade magazine: “There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce. Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy.”

“When you make wrong choices, you have to take responsibility for them, ‘What part of this do I own?’ I struggle to figure out what made me make those choices.”

“All I can hope for is that I’ve learned something from it and won’t make the same choices again.”

Reese Witherspoon feared she would wet herself on set while working with Vince Vaughn.Dismissing rumors there was friction between her and her comic co-star on new movie “Four Christmases,” the actress claims it was the most fun she’s ever had making a movie.

She said: “Vince is the funniest person I’ve ever worked with in my entire life.”

“There were days when we were shooting things, I would laugh so hard it would ruin the take, and I was afraid I was going to pee on myself, it was so funny.”

Reese – who has two children, nine-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – also revealed she is “very happy” with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Oscar-winning actress admits it is a great comfort to be in a relationship with such a loyal partner.

Reese, 32, added to America’s Vogue magazine: “Jake is very supportive.”

“Suffice to say, I’m very happy in life and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me.”

“You know, that’s all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way.”

Reese Witherspoon and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal are planning to buy a home together in London.The couple, who have been dating for over a year after meeting on the set of “Rendition,” are reportedly looking at apartments and townhouses in the UK capital’s exclusive Mayfair district.

A source told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: “Reese was extremely concerned about security issues.”

“She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street.”

“That’s not always an easy thing in Central London, especially Mayfair. But we were able to come up with a couple of places both she and Jake seemed to like.”

Jake fell in love with London after shooting scenes for his new movie “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” in the city.

Friends of the couple are confident the relationship will last, saying they are more in love than ever.

One pal revealed: “I am convinced they will eventually marry and I really think it will be for good.”

Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon has finally agreed to marry actor Jake Gyllenhall this Christmas.

Gyllenhaal reportedly told friends he had plans to wed Witherspoon in December this year after he was through filming his forthcoming adventure movie, “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”, reports Contactmusic.com

“Jake is telling everyone they are getting married at Christmas. He told me he had proposed several times but she kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time,” a source on the movies Morocco set told British newspaper The Mail.

“When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes,” he added.

The Oscar winning actress had earlier been married to actor Ryan Phillipe with whom she has two children.

She met Gyllenhall on the sets of their thriller “Rendition” in 2006. Throughout 2007, there was constant speculation in the media regarding their affair, which they persistently denied.

However, it was only after the finalization of Witherspoons divorce in October 2007, Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon became more open with their relationship.

Witherspoon earned an Academy Award for her film “Walk The Line” in 2007.

Reese Witherspoon has reportedly banned Jake Gyllenhaal from swearing in her house.

The “Legally Blonde” actress – who has two children, eight-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – is determined not to let her young family be influenced by Jake’s foul language, so gave him a strict set of house rules before allowing him to move into her $5 million Los Angeles home last month.

A source said: “Reese believes in wide-open communication, and she discussed at length with him what is best for her household. Some of the things she insists on are run-of-the-mill.”

“He has to take off his shoes when he’s in the house, trash must be taken out when the can is three-quarters full, and no feet on the coffee table.”

“Jake used to swear like a sailor, but not anymore. If he does, he has to apologize.”

However, Jake is said to be unfazed by the house rules, because he is so in love with Reese.

The source added to America’s Star magazine: “Jake would much rather stay at home, make popcorn and watch a movie than step foot in a club.”

“So when he was looking for a girlfriend, he looked for someone who was past all that – and he found her in Reese.”

Meanwhile, Jake’s sister Maggie Gyllenhaal has revealed she thinks Jake is at the right time in his life to start a family with Reese.

She said: “He’s great with kids – it comes naturally to him. He really has that touch.”

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have moved in together.

Jake recently moved into Reese’s $5 million Los Angeles home fueling rumors the couple are planning to wed.

A source said: “Marriage is definitely what they are working toward.”

The pair have become so close Jake is even helping raise Reese’s two children – eight-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon – from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe.

A friend of Reese’s added to Us Weekly magazine: “They literally don’t want to spend any time away from each other.”

Oscar-winner Reese and “Brokeback Mountain” star Jake have been dating for a year after meeting on the set of the film “Rendition.”

Although they initially denied rumors they were an item, they eventually went public last October after they were seen enjoying a romantic weekend break in Rome.

Reese had filed for divorce from Ryan the year before citing irreconcilable differences.

She has previously spoken of the emotional breakdown she suffered when her marriage ended, while Ryan has claimed the divorce was the “most personally devastating time” in his life.

Reese Witherspoon has become a chauffeur.

The Oscar-winning actress – who has an eight-year-old daughter, Ava, and a four-year-old son, Deacon, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – admits she spends nearly all of her time driving her kids around.

Talking about motherhood, she said: “I think probably that no one warns you that you don’t sleep the first year – that’s one of them.”

“And you basically become a limo driver by the time they’re nine. I’m a professional driver now.”

However, Reese – who is now dating Hollywood heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal – refuses to let Ava and Deacon dictate what they listen to in the car.

She added to momlogic.com: “I force my children to listen to my radio stations and they listen to a lot of country music. Very unhappily!”

Reese recently revealed she wanted her children to be bullied at school because the experience will be character building.

She said: “I wouldn’t want my children to miss out on any of that teasing and bullying – don’t you think it kind of makes you who you are?”

“I distinctly recall the two weeks of crying because I didn’t make the softball team. It made me interesting. Hopefully, it helps kids understand who they are.”

Even though her latest film, “Rendition,” was a flop, Reese Witherspoon is a moneymaker. The 31-year-old Academy Award winner commands $15 million to $20 million a movie, placing her at the top of The Hollywood Reporter’s annual list of the highest-paid actresses.

Angelina Jolie came in second with similar salary demands, though the animated “Beowulf” earned the 32-year-old actress far less _ just $8 million.

Cameron Diaz was third, with a $15 million-per-movie price tag. Nicole Kidman dropped to fourth place, two spots lower than last year, with an asking price of $10 million to $15 million a film.

Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock also get $10 to $15 million paychecks. So does Julia Roberts, who hasn’t appeared on the big screen since 2004. Her next film, “Charlie Wilson’s War,” is due in theaters in December.

Rounding out the top 10 are Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster, who ask $10 million to $12 million per project, and Halle Berry, who gets $10 million a picture.

The salary list appears in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Women in Entertainment: Power 100″ issue, on newsstands Tuesday.

Reese Witherspoon has warned Jennifer Aniston to keep her hands off Jake Gyllenhaal, it has been reported.

Reese, who has been dating Jake for around two months, was said to be furious after the “Brokeback Mountain” actor shared an intimate embrace and prolonged kiss with Jennifer at an awards ceremony earlier this month, and has warned her to stay away.

A source told Woman’s Day magazine: “It wasn’t just a polite peck on the cheek. There was definitely feeling in that embrace.”

“When Reese heard about it, she broke down in tears asking, ‘Why would he do that?’ She is very unhappy about it.”

In November, Reese, 31, filed for divorce from her husband of seven years Ryan Phillippe, with who she has two children.

The Oscar-winning star had thought that Jake, 26, was “everything Ryan wasn’t.”

But after the incident with Jennifer at Los Angeles’ 18th Annual GLAAD Media Awards “she’s beginning to wonder.”

The source added: “She always thought Jake was intelligent and charming. That’s why she’s so stunned by the photographs of Jake and Jen.”

“She’s really hurt by what she’s seen. They seem to be very explicit and everyone knows Jennifer’s looking for love.”

Jake, who starred with Jennifer in “The Good Girl,” was presenting the former “Friends” star with the Vanguard Award.

Jennifer, 38, was formerly married to Brad Pitt before they split and he embarked on a relationship with Angelina Jolie.

She then dated her “The Break-Up” co-star Vince Vaughn but their relationship ended last year.
