With sympathies to Reese n’ Ryan

By Eric Robinette | Monday, October 30, 2006, 07:28 PM

What a shame to hear that Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon couldn’t work things out and their marriage is at its “Twilight.” I guess things weren’t “Just Like Heaven” for them in the end. And this happens right before the “Election” too. Darn.

I wonder what went wrong. Maybe one of them was riding to “Vanity Fair.” I only hope there weren’t any “Cruel Intentions” on anyone’s part. We’ve gotten enough of that through Paul McCartney’s messy split with his wife. It’s really sad when likable couples with alliterative names like Reese and Ryan can’t “Walk the Line.” But I guess even the “Best Laid Plans” fall apart sometimes.

I have no “Fear” for Reese, though. Maybe she’ll find a new “Man in the Moon” when she heads down to “Sweet Home Alabama.” Although that doesn’t fit, since she’s really from New Orleans, which isn’t “A Far Off Place” from Alabama. Since New Orleans isn’t exactly “Pleasantville” these days, maybe she ought to take the “Freeway” to Alabama after all.

What really bugs me, though, is that Ryan’s movies don’t lend themselves as easily to this subject. I mean, sure, the marriage went “Crash” but you try working in “Flags of Our Fathers” or “Gosford Park” gracefully into this tapestry. And if you can fit “Igby Goes Down” into here, I’ll give you tons of credit.

K-Fed has no songs. Only embarrassments. Wait — that’s true for Britney as well.

No. Aside from the fact that this is a movie blog and not a “Singers with voices Pro Tooled into oblivion” blog, I don’t feel like hurting my brain by searching through Brit’s song titles, much less K-Feds! I will be charitable and say this is Britney’s best career move in some time. Question is, did she have a career to save? As Mick Jagger said of the Rutles, “I ‘ope not!”
