Sad news for Reese Witherspoon last week. The beautiful blonde star of Walk the Line and Election was reported to have split up from Donnie Darko, sorry, what's his name? Jake Gyllenhaal.

Sad news for them. Good news for us. It means Witherspoon is back on the lady market. It means we could legitimately ask her for a date! She'd say no, but we could, if we had her number, which we don't. Is she on Twitter? Can you ask people for dates on Twitter? Is that weird? We're thinking about this too much, we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Before we go asking anyone for a date, we've got to give them the Marriage Material treatment. After the break we give Witherspoon the in-depth matrimonial analysis, and see where she comes out in our Marriage Material Matrimonial Mega League. It's the league every lady wants to win. If they knew it existed.


Name: Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon. (Jeanne? Really?)

Age: 33.

Nationality: American.

Home: Born -- New Orleans. Lives -- LA.

Jobs: Actor.

Education: Attended Stanford University but then dropped out to pursue acting. A wise decision.

Height: 5ft 2in.

Interests: Reading, cooking, philanthropy, working out, her kids.

Achievements: Academy Award for Best Actress, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, Screen Actors Guild Award.

Sexiest moment: This one.

Single? Hell yeah.

Exs? Ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. So nothing much to worry about there then. Ahem.

Father of the bride: John Witherspoon, is a otolaryngologist (ear nose and throat doctor) who previously served as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army reserves. So he's hard and he's clever.

The future: She says she wants to concentrate on her kids and her career right now. What? No time for little old us? After all the hours we've put in? We've watched Cruel Intentions 14 times Witherspoon!

In her own words: "I'm so stupid in some ways. Sometimes I don't get the most obvious jokes. But I think I'm savvy, like with comedy. I'm not intellectual. I'm just happy doing my own stuff."

Marriage material score: 6/10. Witherspoon seems like one of Hollywood's most down-to-earth actors, she's cute and talented, but equally she's dated some of the Hollywood's best looking young bucks. Would we match up? Well yes clearly we would. But would she think so?

The power-disparity in the relationship might weigh heavy, as we trudge to the office she swans off to glamorous sets and parties. She'd take ages to text back too -- you can tell. But where has Witherspoon landed in our Marriage Material Matrimonial Mega-League?
