Oh yay! Thanks for starting this Linds.

It makes me excited.

Maybe this will make me like softball. Probably not. But maybe.

Yeah, I'm not a softball/baseball girl. Football all the way.

Anywho, apparently in the scene Reese filmed (pictures in the OP), her character works out too much and gets sick.

Plus, a kind of cute sighting of Reese in DC from today:

Quote:

We just heard from a reader who saw Reese on set there at 9th and Penn -- said she looks shiny and pretty. They'll be in town shooting for about a month; no idea how long they'll be near the FBI today.

ETA: And a new set picture. She looks gorgeous!

stormy eyes · 06-18-2009, 10:57 AM

Wow, she does really look gorgeous there. Her hair especially.

**faith grows old** · 06-18-2009, 05:28 PM

Right? I don't think she was pleased with the paps, understandably, but she looked gorge.

I always think it's a sucky thing when you get photographed while filming. There should be a rule against that, or something. Because you're trying to concentrate & you have paps right there. Also cause it spoils things. :/

But I continue to icon/love pictures from sets so I need to shut up.

**faith grows old** · 06-22-2009, 12:29 AM

LOL, I hear ya. The paps being there have positives and negatives.

Reese filming on the 19th.

And! The first picture of the Reese/Paul Reunion!1! *giggles*

More set pictures here, here and here.

Her face in the last one is killing me.

Loving the Paul/Reese reunion though.

**faith grows old** · 06-22-2009, 02:12 PM

Hee! She just ain't impressed in that moment, right? Paul/Reese FTW, though!

Annnd, we have Jack! Yays.

stormy eyes · 06-23-2009, 11:56 AM

Yayyyy!

I must say, I'm loving the purple tie. And Paul's excited face. LOL.

**faith grows old** · 06-23-2009, 03:57 PM

I love Paul way more than I should. And Jack, too! He's just awesome.

Actress Kathryn Hahn Lines Up Two Jobs

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Comedic actress Kathryn Hahn has landed a role in James Brooks' untitled comedy at Columbia.

The actress, along with husband Ethan Sandler, also will develop a pilot script at Sony Pictures Television, with Sandler writing as a potential starring vehicle for Hahn.

In the Brooks comedy, she'll play the assistant to Paul Rudd's lead role. The TV script, whose logline is being kept under wraps, will be a half-hour comedy.

Hahn has had character turns in a series of comedies, particularly Will Ferrell vehicles such as "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," "Step Brothers" and his upcoming used-car comedy "Live Hard, Sell Hard."

I love her! She was great in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Revolutionary Road. <3

stormy eyes · 06-24-2009, 12:19 PM

I hear ya on the Paul love. I just adore him. I fell deep in love with him when I first saw him on Friends and have not turned back. LOL.

I've never seen her in anything - or heard of her, actually - but that's cool! This is shaping up to be a pretty good cast.

**faith grows old** · 06-24-2009, 12:51 PM

You've never seen How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days?! It's hysterical, and she was so good.

Day off from filming, but not from sightings

Even more “How Do You Know?” sightings early this week, occurring on what seems to be a break from filming the James L. Brooks rom-com.

Physical activity was the apparent choice of two of the cast members. While Reese Witherspoon and beau Jake Gyllenhaal opted for a jog around Georgetown on Monday, Owen Wilson was spotted biking down N Street toward the Georgetown University Campus.

Later that evening, Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal — along with co-star Paul Rudd — took a private tour of Ford’s Theatre. Following their visit to the site of Lincoln’s assassination, they all walked around the corner for a dinner at Oyamel. Jack Nicholson and other crew members (Wilson noticeably absent) joined up with them, and they enjoyed margaritas and Mexican food in a private room as a bodyguard stood watch.

I think I might have watched it in 6th grade come to think of it, but really didn't like it so I put it out of my mind.

Everybody loves that movie and I just...don't. And I don't remember her being in it!

I love little cast get togethers like that.

I really like when a cast hangs out after work like that - and it's awesome Reese, Jake, & Paul took a tour of that theatre.

**faith grows old** · 06-25-2009, 04:08 PM

Aw, that movie cracks me up! She played Kate Hudson's clingy, clueless (when it comes to guys) BFF.

Some more cuteness from the Reese/Paul Reunion!1!

And some solo Paul adorableness from the set, hehe.

Seriously, how can anyone not flove Paul?

Quote:

Rudd crossed the street at one point to spend a few minutes chatting with the crowd face-to-face. He was apologetic for the inconvenience caused to the neighborhood, and stopped to pose for photos with a couple of fans, unleashing his killer smile a couple of times.
