The last time I visited on this topic was last April but with the rash of celebrity news over the last ten days, now is as good a time as any to take a look at the Hollywood power couples where it appears the marriages are failing or ending with the woman’s successful career continuing to skyrocket and the man’s appearing to be at best, underachieving compared to the wife’s.

Reese Witherspoon is on a Roll!

This has been a busy award season for Reese Witherspoon. She recently won a Golden Globe, a BAFTA (the British equivalent of the Academy Award), a Screen Actors Guild award, and an Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of June Carter Cash in Walk the Line. Has all the awards gone to her head? Doubtful as she mentioned that her daughter liked to “sneak them off to her room and dress them up.” The rest of the world may just be discovering the talent of Reese, but I actually fell in love with her a long time ago. It … Continue reading →
