Reese Witherspoon took a break from hanging out with her own adorable kids to spend some time at a school in New Orleans as part of Idol Gives Back. She read stories, chatted, and posed for photos with the happy kids as part of the special charity episode of American Idol. The episode airs April 9 and will feature other celebs like Bono and Brad Pitt. Last year the event raked in $60 million, and we can't wait to see if Reese and everyone else can do an even better job this year.

    But the important question is: Did she pass out signed photocopies of herself in a bikini? Apparently to some that is true charity...

    So nice. I think the show airs April 9th not March 9th unless we're talking about 2009. Smiling

    This acts are tax-free. I lost respect for her and Aniston acting desperate. After their divorce off they go looking for some already.
    Their relationships and marriage really mean something to them. YUCK.
    Not saying this because Im for Brad or Ryan because those guys are losers too.

    I see no difference between what Paris did and what Reese is doing here. I mean, Reese probably passed out pictures of herself spread eagle on a bear skin rug sucking on a lollipop. Why is everyone supporting Reese and not Paris? haha

    THIS is what celebs SHOULD be doing. Helping kids at home! We have enough needy kids right here in the US. I love this Woman for this and SOOOOOOOOOO many more reasons. She's an absolute gem. And the other thing that occurred to me today, the only "Controversy" that she's ever been at the center of was when she and Ryan split. I think that's why I like her so much. She's private, but not so private that we don't get glimpses of her now and then.

    LOVE her!

    All I have to say is that I wish she would have gone to a school that is in worse shape than Ben Franklin. That school is actually a really good public school, not technically in New Orleans. There are so many other schools that would have appreciated her visit more.

    He may be cute but I think she's one of the most annoying and boring celebs of all time. And I don't think she's talented, either. Oscar sucks.

    Electric Jawdropping! Did you SEE Walk the line? I'm not telling you to change your opinion, but that movie was AMAZING because of her and Joaquin. She WAS June Carter-Cash in that.

    No, I guess the movie was AMAZING because of Joaquin's interpretation. I personally don't like her acting but I've to say that she was a decent singer in it and that's what she did in the movie: sing. Although, her acting skills has never impressed me.

    Well electric, we absolutely have to disagree on that one. There were points in that movie when I actually forgot I was watching actors, it was that good. Really, watch it. I know you don't like her, but if you have any affinity at all for "The Man in Black" this movie is a must see.

    The caption should have read that she took time out from Jake to be with these kids, not her own.

    Likeagoddess, you are so right. But hey, they are entitled to their opinions right? You and I know the truth about the wonderful effervescent Reese Witherspoon. Eye-wink

    As for Reese, it's good to see someone positive helping out over here. I do NOT consider Paris as helping even if she did visit kids in America. Paris is nasty.
