Reese Witherspoon: "I Can Be Really Fun!"

She's young, beautiful and wealthy, but can't seem to cut it when it comes to relationships. And while the media has attributed her relationship woes to her "control freak" ways, Reese Witherspoon says that these claims are just not true.

The Legally Blonde babe recently defended herself to Elle magazine, saying: "I wouldn't be able to do what I do if I were (always in control). I wouldn't be able to have the empathy or the capacity to understand different lives."

Continuing on, Reese told, "I'm fun. I can be really fun. I can tell we'd have a lot of fun if the (interviewer's) tape was off…"

"I think it's great to drink in the middle of the day. I would join you, but I gotta drive to pick up the kids. You're taking taxis everywhere. You could get drunk! You could go from appointment to appointment highly, highly smashed!"

Sounds like fun to us! How could Ryan Phillippe and Ryan Gosling have given up such a great catch?

Enjoy the pictures of Reese out at Pacific Palisades over the past weekend (September 15).
