Reese Witherspoon

Hollywood's favorite Southern belle

The paparazzi have a bone to pick with Reese Witherspoon: She s too damn perfect. Couldn t she have a breakdown and shave off those flaxen locks? Or develop a coke habit? Or at least an eating disorder? Sorry, guys. This poised, well-spoken, self-respecting young actress has her head on straight, and shows no signs of changing.

"What gets me is how many women -- young women -- give up their power and sense of self. Thinking they're going to get more out of life if they take off their clothes and objectify themselves, instead of functioning on the principle that they're smart and capable," she says.
