If It Can't Last For These Two...There's No Help for the Rest!

Awww...can it really be true? One of Hollyweird's favorite couples is really splitting? A rep for Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe released the following statement to TMZ: "We are saddened to announce that Reese and Ryan have decided to formally seperate. They remain committed to their family and we ask that you please respect their privacy and the safety of their children at this time.

Reese has apparently already contacted the same celebrity high-power divorce lawyer who represented Jennifer Aniston, Rosanne, and Lisa Marie Presley.

They've always seemed like a really grounded couple, their family more important then their fame, but in a way it doesn't really suprise me. Reese has been earning oodles more than Ryan for a long time. And although with Crash and Flags of Our Fathers it seems his career has some new life, mama's making a whole lot more than him, and not too many guys can take that with grace. He succeeded for awhile.

The good news is that no divorce papers have been filed...so perhaps they'll work things out.
