lol @ Brokebackjack and Elle - yes, do tell us how you really feel.
Secretly, I'm not wild about Reese, myself. I like that she's a grown-up, i.e., responsible and mature and apparently a good parent, and not a party girl, but I don't like much else about her. And like you, I've also never been a fan of her acting. I've never seen her do anything different from one film to the next, either. She's like George Clooney to me - all I ever see is her and none of her characters. And please - like June Carter Cash was a stretch - the girl is from Nashville and she can sing. Must have been a real challenge for her.
She strikes me as the type of girl who probably made fun of me relentlessly in high school - the cheerleader/popular/overachiever type. I was an overachiever, too, but in a quiet, unassuming, shy way. Most of the cheerleaders couldn't stand me, probably because I made them look as vacuous as they really were, and they never let me forget it. I guarantee she would have been one of them.
I don't know - maybe you guys are right. Maybe the PR people are just milking what's nothing more than a good friendship. Hard to say at this juncture. I will say that I'm sick to death of seeing her smug little face on the cover of all the rags at the check-out stand lately.
The important thing here is I'm not bitter.
