Reese Witherspoon Refuses Sex with Vince Vaughn
Filed under: Comedy, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand
It would appear that tensions on the set of Four Christmases are at an all time high, as the off-screen feud between stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon continues to heat up. Last month we told you how both actors were a bit peeved over the other's work ethic. Witherspoon didn't like the fact that Vaughn would show up to the set unprepared, laid-back and ready to improv (after a long night at the bar), while Vaughn seemed pissed that Witherspoon refuses to lighten up and go with the flow. Perhaps that's why pal Jon Favreau was brought in for a late inning role, so that he could keep Vaughn in check and not let the guy ruin the entire flick?
Now, Digital Spy tells us that things on set aren't getting any better. Witherspoon apparently has a problem with one of the scripted love scenes between her and Vaughn, and doesn't want to go through with it. Says a spy: "Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene. It is meant to be a funny, American Pie-style romp, full of bumps and laughs, but Reese is of such a prude, she thinks it's just too much." And this is the girl who was just named the most-liked celeb in 2007? Granted, I wouldn't blame Witherspoon for not wanting to get dirty between the sheets if her partner reeks of alcohol and refuses to go strictly by the script. Who knows what he would do once they were in bed together; for all we know, he could go crazy with the improv, whip out his Johnson and start wagging it around. Sheesh, no Oscar winner deserves that sort of disrespect.
Then again, a scene like that would probably go down as one of the funniest of the year. Poor Reese. If you slack off on set, you get reamed, and if you show up every day on time, with your ultra-professional cap on, you still get reamed. I guess you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. Hopefully the film won't suffer because of this feud (though the press junkets should be very interesting).

If I was Vince I'd actually penetrate her vaginally and anally.

Anything for publicity, even is she is a prude.

It's early yet, but I'm nominating that for Biggest Non Sequitur of 2008. What does being liked have to do with thinking a particular love scene goes a little too far?

The only thing I would question is that it doesn't say that the scene was added on-set or after Reese signed on the dotted line. How is it ultra-professional to sign on to do a film, start filming, THEN decide that a scene (as, presumably, it's always been scripted) is unacceptable?
That said, I wouldn't wish Vince Vaughn on anyone.

I have read that Reese if very hard to work with! Reese needs to lighten up, & try improve, mabey it will improve her acting style! Some people work better when they shoot from the hip!
I think what needs to happen is that the director needs to add Abbie Cornish to the cast just piss of Reese!

it drives me nuts, though, that she is referred to as being a prude because she doesn't want to do the sex scene. I'm a dude, but doesn't that sound a bit misogynistic? I mean, if she was all for the sex scene, wouldn't they say she's a whore?
If Vince Vaughn comes in drunk and unprepared every day, how is that less worse than her refusing to do a sex-scene? I say its not.

Maybe Vince is really an asshole in real life? Or he made an unwanted advance?
Actually, what I'm really thinking is that all of us have to work with an asshole or two every day. For the right amount of money, I'd do a sex scene with any of those jerks.
Reese needs to grow up.

Greasy Reece Strikes again. I guess Kevin Smith was right, she is a big bitch! I think this story is hilarious.

Wait, I thought she didn't want to film the sex scene.
*Bah, dum, dum*

Interesting that you are all reaming Miss Reese when half of you are guys thinking only with your d***. Let me clear something up for you Reese has a head on her shoulders and makes more money than all of you. What are you doing with your lifes? Your not multi-millionaires thats for sure. Reese has morals and values. Get a grip boys thats what lifes about.

I have never liked Reese Witherspoon because she seems so "stuck-up" and extremely uptight.I don't understand why she was cast in this anyway--yeah Vince Vaughn is a slob--but he is liked by many actors.She needs to get off her high horse--Walk the Line was a once in a lifetime gig for her--she will probably never get another Oscar worthy performance like that again.

I applaud Reese for her work ethics and professionalism. Vince is used to being the big, teddy bear ,party guy which in some scenerios is okay but apparently not with Reese. Maybe he should straighten up and go with the flow.

I don't get it, people takes sides with Vince Vaughn who shows up for work unprepared and hang overed mean while Reese Witherspoon was the opposite and people calling her prude because she refuses to have a sex scene with him, now that's very unfair...

Reese is a woman of principals and I respect her for that. I didn't know Vaughn was a lush, no wonder Jen kicked him to the curb.

I think Joaquin Phoenix should have got the Oscar for Walk The Line. She did a love scene with him, but it wasn't bad.
